NOTHING SENSATIONAL
In the Penltentiary Report, Says Gov.
McMillin.

Special to the Herald.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 49, Governor
McMillin, in an interview to day,
denies positively that there are any
startling resolutions in the statistical
report concerning the penitentiary.
The Governor says the report is
not sensational nor made for sensa-
tional purposes.
1t shows that some contracts made
years ago are not profitable, but that
others are, and that the coal mine is
making money rapidly.
The penitentiary system generally
he Governor further says, is in a
highly satisfactory working order.

Cnpers II Republican Chairman.

News and Courier, Monday: An As
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Cleveland,
Ohio, printed yesterday, announcing
that Captain John G. Capers, Of Char
lesion, had been appointed a member Of
the National Republican committee Of
South Carolina, sounded the political
death knell of Deas, the erstwhile Duke
Of Darlington. Two weeks ago, Deas,
who is a mulatto, offered to bet 81, 900
that he would get the position over
Captain Capers, and he is doubtless re-
joicing that his offer was not taken.
He had been making hot fight for the
place, and had rushed to Washington
with several OF his white cohorts to use
pressure against the Capers nomina-
tion. His fight, however, amounted to
nothing, and with all his endorsements
he failed to get show. The appoint
ment was made by Senator Hanna, to
whom the endorsements of Capers had
been submitted. Captain Capers was
asked to what extent would Senator
McLaurin dictate recommendations for
appointments in South Carolina
President Roosevelt has already an
swered that question:" Capt. Capers
replied, ''in his statement that he wants
the Democratic senators and congress-
men to consult with him as to these ap-
pointments with view of getting good
men Of character for Office. To that
extent Senator McLaurin will no doubt
advise with the president as to TINS
and that Republican applicant for Of
fee; but I myself am Republican and
will recommend only professed Repub-
licans for office in this Republican ad-
ministration. In so doing I will en-
deavor to sustain our people and our
president, and in getting from the Re-
publican party here the best material
possible"

my. When the recommendations would
reach the county delegation in the
house Of representatives, that body,
with practically no personal knowledge
Of the requirements Of the situation,
would proceed to shave the suggested
levy by a mill or half mill and thus
cramp the future administration of the
county government. In making their
levy the commissioners, who are gener-
ally men of az much intelligence as the
representatives, are Influenced by a full
appreciation Of their responsibility to
the people. The representatives have
more than once laid themselves open to
a suspicion of having been Influenced
purely by a desire to put themselves In
position to claim that they had "reduc-
ed taxes" The only practicable object,
Of course, is a very cheap electioneer-
ing expedient. The expense to the tax
payers is often much greater than II
would have peen had the recommends
tion Of the county commissioners been
adopted without a change. According
to the decision just rendered, unless
there is some misunderstanding, the
county commissioners will hereafter not
only recommend, but actually levy tax
es for county purposes, and as we see
it the result will give more general sat
isfaction to all concerned than can be
realized under the present arrangement

AFTER JIM LOWRY.

The people Of Shelby, Kings Mount
ain, Grover, and the country surround
ing, have been very much excited dur
ing the past ten days over the reap
pearance Of Jim Lowry, the murderer
Of Policeman Jones, in the neighbor-
hood.
Because he was unable to keep away
probably, Lowry showed up in Shelby
on Monday night Of last week. He may
have been in the vicinity for several
days; but it was not until about IL
o'clock that night tina. the police came
in contact with him. Policeman Ham
rick, accompanied by another officer
met Lowry and another Negro named
Hogue on the street, and half dozen
or more shots were exchanged. Lowry
got away; but Hogue was. captured.
The Negro, Hogue, on being taken to
the town prison, claimed that he was
trying to deliver Lowry up to the Of
ficers. He had a pistol in his pocket
and one empty chamber showed that
the weapon had been freshly fired off,
The police have not since been inclined
to accept the story Of Hogue as true;
but, on the contrary believe that he
was assisting Lowry.
The appearance of Lowry in Shelby
and the shooting bee that followed, Gre
ated lots of excitement, and within a
short while the entire town was arous-
ed. A small posse was soon sWel.ed tU
several hundred people and systemat-
ic search instituted on Tuesday was
continued all the week.
Policeman c.. E. Russell, Of Kings
Mountain, came down to Yorkville on
Saturday night and was here Monday
looking up clues which he hoped might
lead to the arrest of Lowry, or rather
Jenkins, which is his real name in the
home of some of his relatives or friends
in this county. The policeman says he
knows Lowry we'll and stated that he
saw him last Friday afternoon, be-
tween the town of Kings Mountain
and the battle-ground; but he was sew
eral hundred yards away at the time
and going at a run.
UP to Monday, the Negro was COM
pletely lost. Policeman Russell stated
that he had some reasonably probable
clues as to his whereabouts; but moth
ing certain. I'm the mountains, along
the line between York and Cleveland
Counties" he said, there is an area of
about Is square miles so filled with
dense underbrush that a man might
hide from hundreds Of pursuers for
weeks, and Lowry may have taken ref
uge in there; but of course, that is all
guess work. have no idea In what d.
rection he may have gone"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-10-09

IN letter to Mr.. j. K. Blackman, ed
John L. McLaurin gives some very
timely and interesting information as to
the manner in which foreign govern
ments pay subsidies to their ship own
ernment. Most of the figures are OFF,
cial, being taken from the report Of the
commissioner of navigation for the year
1899. According to the senator's state
ways. the sum Of s5,S51,5 ,525. Germany
pays s1,S94,62O. France pays 1882, ,242.
Italy pays s2,1s5,266. Russia pays ST.
371,1S7. Austria pays s1,724,249. Spain
pays s1,629 927. Japan pays SO, 3,492, ,1O7.
All of the other countries that have
ships pay subsidies in various amounts,
and the total subsidies paid by foreign
nations foot up s26,355,661. The United
States is now paying s99S,211 annually.
In his communication, Senator McLau-
rim does not attempt any argument; but
contents himself with a bare statement
of the facts. The situation in which he
leaves some of the South Carolina poll
ticians is interesting. 1t is like this:
Do we want a merchant marine Of our
own, or do we prefer to continue pay
ing freight bills to foreigners? If we
want a merchant marine of our own,
can we reasonably expect to build up
such an enterprise in competition with
the subsidized foreign concerns with
out paying subsidies ourselves? If the
foreigners find it to their advantage to
subsidiZe their ships in order to put
them in position to carry our freights,
would it not pay us to give equal or
greater subsidies and carry our freights
ourselves. There may be, as some of
our contemporaries claim, a 'Republi-
can steal in this ship-subsidy idea;
but to our view it looks more like a
plain case of business, in which we are
allowing the foreigners to get the bet
ter Of us.

TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN.

II am glad to say that it does not
occur as frequently as some people
might believe; but it is a fact that oc-
casionally dishonest farmer will try
to cheat the cotton buyer with loaded
or plated bale Of cotton"
This remark was made few days
ago by wellknown cotton buyer who
had just received from mill, to which
he had sold a lot of cotton, a letter
claiming that a certain bale. indicated
by marks, was plated, and that 1t was
not worth as much as had been paid for
it by something like $500.
Yes" the buyer went on, 1T does
not occur often, and it seems to me
that if the cotton seller who is dishonest
enough to resort to such tricks was
only a little shrewder, he would never
attempt such a thing. Now, for in
stance, take this case. I have only to
refer to my book here to see where 1t
came from. Here is the whole record.
l bought bale No. - from Mr..
He is pretty good man. You would
not have thought that he would be gull
ty Of such thing, would you? Well,
maybe it was a mistake, and 1 will say
nothing to MIN about 1t; but next time
will be more careful"
do they ever put rocks or anything
of that kind in cotton?' the reporter
asked.
Yes, tnat occurs occasionally. I
have known it to occur on this market;
but it is always caught up with. I
could tell you of several instances that
have come under my observation here
during the last few years; but perhaps
it is just as well not to mention names.
Did you ever hear of that case down at
Camden? 1t is funny. Some years ago
cotton buyer received a notice from
Liverpool to the effect that a Is pound
grindstone mad been found in a certain
bale Of cotton that had been bought
from him. The buyer who also ran a
large supply concern. looked his books
and found tnat he had bought the cot
ton from a certain large and well-to- do
farmer, who lived in the vicinity of
Wateree. He had to make good the
