Third Judicial Circuit at the ap-

Judge himself and be will retire from

In reference to mis- determination
not to seek reelection, Judge Buchan-

Will Buchanan Withdraw ?

The Florence Times has this inter
esting bit of news:
On good authority it is stated that
Judge o. ". Buchanan will not stand
for reelection to the bench in the third
judicial circuit. One of his friends
in another county has made the posi-
tive assertion that Mr.. Buchanan
would withdrawn. However, there
is nothing official.
The paucity of the votes he received
as candidate for Congress in the 7th
district has probably Influenced to
some extent his determination to stand
aside. Judge Buchanan has been
criticized good deal for entering the
Congressional race while still Judge.
A great many have said he should
have resigned before announcing his
candidacy.
Prominent politicians throughout
the State, even those who are response
BILE for the act, are criticizing the cleo
tion of judges to fill positions in one
district while they reside in another.
Three judges have been thus elected,
and these have been injured in their
political prospects somewhat on this
account.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Buchanan
if announced leaves three prominent
candidates in the race for Judge in
this circuit: George Galletly, of Flor
ence: T. B. Fraser, fof Sumter, and
r. 0. Purdv, Of Sumter.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Two Negroes Arrested for Killing Mr.
w. H. Smith.

Sumter Mack and Joseph Carter,
colored, we're arrested at Oswego Mon
day and brought to jail under warrant
charging them with completely in the
killing of Mr.. ". II. Smith on Mr..
R. P. Stackhouse's place on August
10th. Another negro is suspected OF
being an accessory and the officers have
returned to Oswego to attempt his
arrest.
A few days ago it was ascertained
that Mack had in his possession a pis-
tol that belonged to the late Mr.. Smith
and when questioned about it he told
so many conflicting stories that sus-
picion was aroused and an investiga-
tion brought out sufficient evidence to
warrant his arrest and also the arrest
of Carter and the other negro for whom
the officers are hunting.
Sheriff Scarborough went to Tim
monsville yesterday to arrest the
negro who is wanted for completely in
thekilling of W. Fl. Smith, of Oswego.
A search was made for him at Oswego
Monday, but as he had left the neigh
borhood he could not be found. 1t
was ascertained that he was at Tim
monsville and Sheriff Scarborough
went over on the s O'Clock train yes
terday morning.

A SIGNIFICANT DECISION.

The significance of most SenSa- United States supreme eourt last week was unaccountably overlooked only the briefeSt reference to it being made in the press reports sent oyer the country, writes a Washington correspondent It's importance will b. understood when it is said that many lawyers consider that it shows abso- lutely that the supreme court will de eide against the contention of the gov ernment on the Porto Rican cases.
 The case was that of Fairban6 against the United States 1t involved the constitutionality of the provision of the war revenue law imposing tax upon export bills of lading. The court decided against the government, holding that provision of the law un. constitutional. The opinion was handed down by Justice Brewer. Justices Harlan, Gray. White and Me Kenna dissented
 In brief, the court held that the stamp tax upon expcr. bills of lading, although only intended for revenue purposes, was discrimination against exports, and hence was uncon- stitutional. The well-known paragraph of section 9 of the first article of the constitution says: No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.''
 The war revenue act fixed q stamp tax of 10 cents on export bills of lad ing, whereas the stamp upon an ordiz nary bill of lading was only one cent The court holds that this discrimina- tion is, in effect. tax or duty on ex- ports, and hence is unconstitutional In the Porto Riean case strong point has been made of the fact that the collection of duty at Porto Rico on articles shipped from the United States is to all intents and purposes a tax or duty on exports and as such is unconstitutional.

Grace said that MT. Sorrells had no business in the grand jury room, un less summoned by that body. In re fusing the request, Judge Grace as sured the prosecuting attorney that he would be given ample time to pre- sent his side of the ease Tn the grand jurY room and also to get his witness es together Another ground upon which Judge Grace refused to grant the feqtest was due to the fact that another attorney would know noth- ing regarding the murder case and could not properly look after the states side in the mater.

Menace to Popnierity in Every Pound of
 Adipose Tissue.
 Adipose tissue has always been the prima donna $ enemy and few of them nave escaped it. The young American singer discharged the other day be- cause her figure was considered too heroic for appearances in English op era, grew stout somewhat earlier in 2ef career than most women do, and that seems to have been her principal misfortune. The recent ideal of the fat prima donna .,as been the German al- though in former days it was the stout Italian who created so much amusement. Piccolomini. during the later years of her career, grew to enormous size, and some of the other Italian singers were just as unwieldly. Gut it later came to be the German soprano who w. re Arded as the one person certain to be fat. whatever else she might be. Amalia Materna sang Isolde at Vienna and Kundry at Bay reuth when she had become such monster of flesh that her appearance would have been ludierous under any other circumstances But she was ad- mired for years in Germany, although t is dobutful if she could ever have made a reputation here when she was of such q size. Rosa Sucher had growh very stout duri@: the later days of her career and Theresa Malten is also as suming rapidly the heroic proportions commonly associated with the Wag merriam heroine None of these women ever come to the Metropolitan now idays, because the public does not take kindly to them. They may grow stout in the presence of their admirers, but they never succeed in making friends when they come here already colossal The lates example of the Gisadyant. ages of flesh was a dramatic soprano who came to the Metropolitan five years 2 eo and made an excellent Isolde and Brunnhilde in every particular but personal appearance. She was entirely too stout to be satisfactory in looks and the public refused to overlook this excess anj think only of her talents.- New York Sun.
