that the supreme court gave unmistak
able evidence Of its views and that 1t
applied directly to the jury laws in
question.
The court in that case held: "In order
that law may be general 1t must be
Of force in every county In the state
and, while 1t may contain special pro-
vision, making it's effect different In
certain counties, those counties cannot
be exempt from its entire operation"
The act Of 1900 provided an entirely
separate and distinct plan for Aiken
county and made no mention Of
Charleston, and provided two plans for
Edgefield, and so Judge Gary held that
1t could not pass the test provided by
the supreme court.
The Charleston fight on the jury law
was pretty much on the same line, but
in that case 1t was held that the mere
attack Of the statute on the grounds
that 1t was unconstitutional would not
do, but that 1t would have to be shown
what had been actually done which
was wrong, and that no proof or facts
were presented, but in the Cherokee
case there was an agreement as to
what had been actually done.
Court Is about to meet in Columbia
and there is already talk Of attacking
the jury here, and If Judge Watts takes
the same position as does Judge Gary
there will be no jury cases tried here,
and so will it be through all the cir
cults of the judges who hold that view
until the general assembly or the su-
preme court, takes different view.
The general assembly at its last ses-
sion passed the Healing act" instead
of changing the whole law, so as to
make 1t uniform for the state, and
Judge Gary held that the Healing
act' was as bad as the act Of 1900, as 1t
attempted to remedy that which could
not be legally remedied.-August kohn

ON TO THE GAME.
Sumter County Farmers Refuse to
be Duped by Politicians.

Sumter County Farmers Refuse to
be Duped by Politicians.
Whereas a call has been issued for
| the reorganization Of the Alliance, in
which we are informed that a purely
business organization is desired and
politics is not to be permitted-in order
to remove all doubts OF selfishness in
the Alliance officials and to inspire con-
fdence and trust, we respectfully ask
that a committee Of one be appointed
by this meeting to send President Efird,
Organizer Wilborn, and Lecturer Ell
der the following pledge for their sig
es as officers Of the Alliance. not to be
candidates for any political office, either
county or state, during the approaching
political campaign.'-(Signed) R. M.
Cooper, chairman; E. W. Dabbs, Sec
retary."
The above apparently innocent reso-
luton was passed today by a small
body Of farmers who assembled in the
urrecting the defunct Alliance, which
has been dead in this county ever since
1892.
When the meeting was organized this
resolution was first presented and after
full discussion was unanimously adopt
ed.
Until the terms Of the resolution are
complied with no further effort will be
made to perfect the organization, nor
will any other county meeting be held
until some time in November
The gentlemen referred to in the res
olutions are Messrs. D. F. Ef1rd, Of
Lexington; John e. wilborn. Of York;
and w. N. Elder, also Of York. These
are the state officials who are reorgan-
izing the state, county by county, and
the work has been proceeding system
atically. Remembering how the Alli-
ance was used as a political step-stone
in the early '90s the farmers Of Sumter
county do not intend to allow them
selves to be used by politicians again,
and have taken today the initiative to
test the faith of their would-be leaders,
It Is not known what action will be
taken If these gentlemen refuse to COM
ply with the conditions imposed; but It
was intimated that an Independent
county organization would be organiz-
ed, which shall be "a non-political
southern cotton growing organization"
Even today 1t cropped out in debate
that some imperative action must be
taken to fight the cotton oil trust which
has fastened its fangs upon the state
and Is buying up the cotton seed at
their own prices. On this point the
farmers are arousedo all over the state
and Alliance or no Alliance some or
yanization will be perfected. They be-
gin to realize the true value Of their
cotton seed and do not intend to part
with them for small prices.
The decisive action Of the meeting
today in making their leaders declare
themselves may be the means Of in
ducing other counties to take the same
step.-Sumter special Of Friday, to the
Columbia State.

JURY LAW UNCONSTITUTIONA
Judge Gary Makes a Ruling That II
of Far Reaching Effect.

OF Far Heacn1nR Euect.
Judge Ernest Gary has given the ex-
listing jury laws of the state paralyt-
! ic stroke. He has, In effect, decided
that Aiken county Is the only county In
the state that has a jury law that IS
worth anything. The question has
been mooted for some time. but Judge
Gary cut the knot at the recent term
Of court in Cherokee county. His rul-
ing may not be that Of any other Judge
in the state, and may not be sustained
by the supreme court, but 1t Is pre-
cedent, and If agreed to by other cir
cult judges will play havoc with the
courts for the next few months, or un-
til the general assembly can remedy
the trouble, unless the state supreme
court can and does disagree with Judge
Gary.
The point is that Judge Gary has de-
clared Act No. 1S3, approved February
19, 1900, to be unconstitutional. and has
further declared that the "Healing act"
passed at the recent session of the gen.
eral assembly is not effective as a
Healing act" and cannot heal, that
which, was in his opinion, originally H.
legal and unconstitutional.
The jury act of 1900 repealed the
county government act as to jury law,
except for Aiken county. Under the
act Of 1900 Aiken county is exempted
from the provisions Of the act, and it is
specified that so far as Aiken is con-
cerned it shall draw it's juries under the
provision Of the county government
act.
Then for Charleston county there Is
another act, applying to counties with
cities Of over 10000 people. and Charles
ton county is not covered in any way
by the act of February 10, 1900. No
mention at all is made of Charleston
county. Edgefeld county seems to
have two modes being in the act in
question.
Judge Gary said that he regretted
very much to have to declare the jury
laws in question unconstitutional, but
l.
after the issue had been made and the
facts agreed to as to what had been ac-
tually done.
Under section "a of the rights of the
general assembly it is especially pro-
vided that one Of the things that the
general assembly shall not do Is to pass
special legislation as to summons and
empannelling of grand or petit juries." :"
1t is further especially provided that
"in all other cases where a general law
can be made applicable, no special law
shall be enacted"
Judge Gary held that in the case Of
Dean VS.. Spartanburg and Nance VS..
Anderson it was very plain what was
the construction Of the supreme court
as to special legislation. In the Dean
case it was decided that per diem Of
prisoners different in the various coun-
ties was unauthorized and illegal.
| In the Nance case Judge Gary held

THE END.
Not Entitled to Reward.

Governor McSweeney has received
an official report from Magistrate
Motto, of Berkeley county, in regard
to the killing of a Negro desperate.
The magistrate advised the governor
that having had warrant for the Me-
gro, he sent his constable out to arrest
him. The Negro resisted arrest and
the constable shot him dead. There
was reward for the capture Of the
man and the magistrate wrote to in
form the governor Of the killing and
ask if his constable was entitled to the
reward offered. The constable being
an officer in the discharge Of his duty,
is of course not entitled to the reward.

THE PERSECUTION OF ScHLEY.-Albert
Halstead, the Washington correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Standard Union,
sends his paper the following of inter-
est:
It would not be surprising II, before
long. some one should spring a boom
for Rear Admiral Schley for president
ON the Democratic ticket, however
short-lved such a move might be. The
popularity Of Schley Is unquestioned,
and whatever may be the decision of
the court Of inquiry, many people Will
look upon him as the real naval hero at
Santiago. But heroes do not always
make good political candidates, as in
the case Of Admiral Dewey, for exam
pie. It would be hard to find an OBJ
servant person who believes that Ad-
miral Schley would seriously consider
the matter Of being a candidate for
president, one paramount condition be-
ing the chaotic condition of the Demo-
cratic party at present, and the ex-
treme uncertainty Of Democratic sue
cess in the next presidential election.
Still, there are many enthusiastic
Democrat who believe that in the per-
son Of Schley they have found candi-
date who might go great way toward
uniting the party and harmonizing the
various warning elements. They point
to the fact that the naval officer has
no political record and could safely

stand on any platform that the Demo-
cratic convention might adopt. They
further insist that there is no other en-
tirely satisfactory Democratic possibil-
ity for president, and that Schley would
be a safe compromise. Schley would
hardly give any encouragement to the
use of his name In this connection.

"White's old mill" much meal was
grinding
For our forts defenders bread;
Bushels boosted bullets; blinding
Blazes burst 'gainst coats Of red!
Scarlet oft blood-red was turning! -
Though some guns were logs OF pine,
Painted. their designers earning
Fame yet-1899).
Mill and fort cooperation
Farmers forcing sacks OF corn
To the mill for granulation,
Whence the fort was fed each morn,
Gained such victory and glory
That the folks for miles made Will
They'd one city make; did so they,
And they christened It Fort Mill
By that fort that famed with fury,
BY that old revolving mill;
Didn't they name 1t right? Grand jury
Never found truer bill!
We've the name and we're the people,
BY our fathers who are dead!
And though some have chased the
steeple,
AS you may perhaps have read,
There are few Of such who've wanted
In some rare redeeming trait:
Men like Marion e'er undaunted,
Swift vet cry, God save the State!
Deeds are done today diviner,
By the faithful of Fort Mill,
Than was none by Carolina
Years ago, when she said NIL
To the Mortimer and Secession,
And the Act to Nullify,
Law made, heading the procession,
That resolved to do or die.
They're the cream Of Carolina
The good people Of Fort Mill
And though some Of some Of them are
finer
Than the others, most have still
Blood Just like the Grand old Rebel
Had who fought million foes;
And they'll pay back double-treble
To the tramplers on their toes.
Yet their bravery when defending
All that's great, that is, that's good,
In the way Of love unending
Has not in one instance stood.
Long and lovingly we linger
Round this region so renowned;
For mementoes many a finger
Picks up pebbles from the ground.
See those bullets bruised and beaten,
Huddled in that tiny hand?-
Through mems hearts they ploughed;-
They sweeten every furrow OF the
land:-
Glorious land our soldiers camped on,
Who were kind enough to kill,
Under men like Marion, Hampton,
Fiercest foes of fair Fort Mill.
Ah, the cream of Carolina
Are the folks Of fair Fort Mill
Nought can break the kindred tie nor
Waste my wishes that no Ill
Eyermore shall touch the cradle
Of my childhood's holy hopes;
Touch the love-land where stayed till
Swept from off its sunlit slopes.
But my destiny's designer!
Uncontaminated still
Keep the cream Of Carolina
Fortitudinous Fort Mill.

FORT MILL.

Mention was made some weeks ago
Of the poems Of James Hampton Lee,
formerly of Fort Mill, now Of New
York. Aside from their literary merit,
these poems are possessed Of local In
terest, especially the following p,eti-
cal history of a York county town. 1t
Is entitled, "Of Fort and Mill, If You
WILL" and Is Dedicated with mex
pressible gratitude to my most consci-
entious teacher, Prof. John A. Boyd, to
whom will always belong a share OF
any credit or honor which anything I
do may ever command:
PROLOGUE.
Creeps Catawba river calmly
Crossing Carolina's land;-
I invite you now most warmly
On Catawba's banks to stand;
To view with me where Indian nations
Worked and wandered at their will;
Where now grow the gay plantations
Which make famous far Fort Mill.
Come! in Fort Mill, Carolina,
'Tis not long between the drinks;
For she drinks-now don't malign her
What will help, not hurt, she thinks.
A "dispensary's" established
In the center Of the town;
It's front door is on the surface,
And to go in means go down.
In the summer comes forth GOODNESS,
In the winter issues heat
Find there fun, but never foopness
Cause there comes from forty feet
Meath the neat and clean-swept pave
ment
Water only!-Mother earth
Free dispenses, no depravement
Can invade her home and hearth:
If sin should make monstrous visit,
'Twould be buried at its birth!-
Speaking Of this water, Is 1t
Not worth more than whiskys worth
Carolina called her children
Up one day in TO-
Told them that their home and birth

Monsters menaced; bade them fix
Round her castles, firm and frowning
Forts from which to flercely night.
There will be a glorious crowning,

IF you crown us, Carolina,
We will crown you too, before"

Listen!-how the brushwood rattle!

Down towards Cowpens. from her hill

Carolina sees the stir:
Marion's marches. Britons short-stops
Knows her children care for her
And her dozen sisters, giving
All their sons for liberty:
Life Is not to US worth living,
Unless we can live 1t free"
Said she, and through revolution
Rose up forts upon her hills:
Forth they fired for constitution,
While to feed them moved the mills

A Rather Suspicious View OF the
Colonel Jones Proposition.

Colonel Jones Proposition.
Greenvile News.
The Savannah Morning News is a
close observer Of South Carolina poll
tics and it invariably puts it's finger on
the spot, when it undertakes to analyze
our frequent political complications
Commenting upon the proposition re-
Gently made by Colonel Willie Jones'
one Of the innumerable caravan OF
seekers Of McLaurin's senatorial seat,
that all the candidates withdraw In IA
vor of Wade Hampton. The Morning
News says: Looks like a Tillman
plan!"
1--WE are not. Of course. in the secrets
Of the politicians Of South Carolina.
but to an outsider 1t looks as II the
proposition for all factions Of the ne
mocracy to unite and send General
Wade Hampton to the United States
senate. IS the successor to Senator Nc
I.aurin, were a plan to shelve McLau-
rim. and not to honor General Hamp-
ton. Senator Tillman does not appear
as the father Of the proposition. but 1t
would not be at all surprising II he
were the originator Of 1t. If 1t did not
originate with him. it doubtless has his
approval. It would never have been
made, in all probability. unless he had
been consulted in respect to It.
Does this proposition mean that Sen
ator Tillman is little apprehensive OF
the result Of an effort to down NC
Laurin? There appears to be some
ground for thinking so. 1t is our un-
derstanding that those who are behind
this proposition never had any great
amount Of love for General Hampton.
That being the case why should they
come forward at this time with a prop
osition to send him to the senate unless
they have some motive for doing so
other than that which is given to the
public? Questions like this are no
doubt suggesting themselves to the
people Of South Carolina.
But would General Hampton accept
the senatorship under the circumstan-
ces? It would naturally be supposed.
that his consent had been obtained be-
fore the proposition was given to the
public; but it is doubtful If it had. AS
suming that it had not, 1t is by no
means certain that General Hampton
would accept the senatorship, coming
to him in the way proposed. The men
making the proposition have never posed
as his friends. 1t Is our recollection
that 1t was Tillman and his followers
who pushed General Hampton out OF
the senate a number Of years ago. If
now they want to put him back, 1t
would seem 1t was not for the purpose
of giving him a chance to round out
his career as a member Of the senate.
If they admired him greatly and wished
to honor him they would have left him
in the senate when he was there. The
outcome Of this move on the political
chess board Of South Carolina will be
awaited with a great deal Of interest"
