THE REESE MATTER.

The officers of the law are still work.
ing on the new Reese case that devel-
oped recently, and about which there
has been much correspondence between
the sheriff at Oxford, Miss, and the
South Carolina authorities.
The mystery has not yet been cleared
up; but it will be cleared within the
next few days. Mr.. w. H. Newbold,
who knows Reese well. left Columbia
last Thursday for Oxford, armed with
requisition papers, and prepared to
bring the suspect to South Carolina in
the event his identy shall turn out as
the Mississippi officers think.
The correspondence between the Mis-
sissippi officers and Governor McSwee-
ney, indicates that there is a lively
quarrel at Oxford over the question as
to who shall have the $500 reward that is
outstanding against Reese. One man
claims that he was the first to identify
the suspect, and he thinks the governor
should withhold payment Of the money
until after q thorough investigation OF
the claims Of the respective claimants.
Sheriff Logan had a conversation
with Mr.. Newbold by telephone Thurs
day. Both were familiar with all the
correspondence that has been going on,
and both were Of the opinion that the
fellow who claims to be Reese is really
humbug. They base their opinions
not only on the refusal of the prisoner
to be photographed; but his failure to
relate some incident of the trial or es-
cape by which those familiar with the
whole matter may be able to see that
he knows what he is talking about.
The doubts Of both Sheriff Logan and
Mr.. Newbold have been presented to
the governor; but his eXcellency pre-
fers to take no chances in the matter,

PENSIONS.

The state pension board has compile
ted it's labors for the year 1901, and the
list of veterans and widows entitled to
pensions in the various counties are
now being sent out to the clerks OF
the court.
The list of the state has been mate
rally reduced since last year. Under
the act in force during 1900, there were
F,706 pensioners, and under the recent
apportionment there are only 6,43S, a
decrease Of 1,268 names.
There were 327 names on the pension
roll in York county last year; but the
list has been considerably reduced.
The county board, at its recent meeting,
passed about 300 names, and the state
board has cut this down by about 20,
leaving the total at 289.
The list, by classification, stands as
follows: Class A, 1; Class B, 9; Class G,
219. Those on class A list will this year
receive S96 each; those on class B about
$29. 80; and those on class c about $22.35.
The official list for York county has
not yet arrived, and Clerk Wylie does
not expect it until May 1. THE ENoU1-
RER teiegraphed Thursday for an un-
Official copy but our correspondent in
Colu nbia was unable to get it to us In
time for publication today.

-~kNURDERER OF A WOMAN.

Ruba Foster, the Negro who killed
Ida Watts at the works of the Cataw-
ba River Power company, on March 81,
last, is in the county Jail, having been
brought back from Hamlet, N. c., by
Special Constable A. l.. Lineberger, last
Wednesday morning.
Foster was at Hamlet under the name
of Jim Davis, and when arrested by
the chief of police at that place, frank
iy confessed the killing Of the Watts
woman. He did not seem to be very
much concerned about the matter, but
merely explaining that the woman was
bothering him and he shot her.
The facts of the killing, as developed
at the coroner's inquest, were to the
effect that the Watts woman had had
a falling out with Foster after which
it appeared that the two had agreed
to disagree. Presently. without warn
ing, the Negro man approached the wo-
man and shot her above the breast,
killing her almost instantly. Witnesses
testified that two shots were fired but
Foster says he only fired one.
The prisoner is powerful specimen
physically. He is feet s inches high,
weighs about 160 pounds, and appears
to be all bone and muscle. He is very
black. 1t is claimed by Negroes that
know him, that he has long had the
reputation of being of an unusually
murderous disposition, and that this
woman was not his first victim.

CIRCUIT COURT.

It has been with exceeding slowness
that the court has been making haste
this week. Judge Townsend has been
doing all he could to keep business
moving; but the lawyers have been too
much for him. They have been inclined
to take their own time, and they have
been doing it in a way that makes 1t
practically impossible for his honor to
help himself.
The case Of A. Meyer against the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern rail-
road, which was on when the last issue
Of THE ENQUIRER went to press, re-
suited in verdict for the plaintiff in
the sum Of $500, instead Of the $2,500
sued for. The plaintiff claimed that
he had with a shipment of goods from
Gaffney to Baltimore, included box Of
fine clothes worth 1850 for himself. The
box, was lost enroute, and when it
came to him 1t contained a lot of Sec
ond-hand clothing.
In the case of the York Brick Works
against the Carolina and North West
ern railroad, the court granted a
non-suit upon an oral demurrer setting
up that the complaint did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause Of
action. The plaintiff decided not to ap-
peal; but to begin again, with a new
complaint at the fall term Of the court.
The next case was that of G. w.
Brooke VS.. w. L. Hill. Hill bought
lot Of flour from Brooke and would not
receive 1t because it came with bill Of
lading attached, when, according to his
understanding, he was to have the priv
ilege of examination. This was in the
spring. The car remained at Sharon.

THIS IS RIGHT-"If Tillman Really
wants to battle with McLaurin,' sug-
gests the Charleston Post, "he might
resign his seat in the senate and enter
as a candidate for his colleagues place.
There would be some reason for his .ap-
pearance in the campaign then. AS 1t
is. he has nothing to do with the case.
There is lots of merit in that sugges-
ton and it would put to square test
the senior senator's claim that he is
actuated by simple love of democracy
in his attack upon his colleague. Till
man brags upon winning his own spurs.
Very good. but he should let Latimer
also win his. What reason is there for
Tillman to mix up in the next senate
rial Scran. unless as a candidate. Does
he regard his favorite as such weak
ling as to need help? 1t is not to be
forgotten how Tillman denounced
Hampton for taking sides in strug-
gle for Office in which he had no direct
interest. Tillman should take a reserve
seat on the fence unless he resigns to
enter the next race against McLaurin.
If he swings to his present senatorship
and tries to replace McLaurin with one
Of his dummies. he will find the peo-
pie resent that interference even more
than they did in 1896, when Tillman
tried to elect Evans as his colleague.
If that lesson needs to be taught again,
the people can teach it.-Columbia Rec
ord.

-HHE RAILROAD TROUBLES.

AS the result of the most strenuous
efforts on the part Of it's management,
the South Carolina and Georgia Ex-
again.
Bullock's creek trestle was crossed
by q mixed train yesterday, and the
mail came through to Yorkville for the
first time since Friday Of last week.
The Catawba river bridge has not
heen fully repaired yet; but is in condi-
ton to admit Of transfers, and 1t is
hoped that trains will be able to run
over it today or tomorrow.
The wreck at Buffalo creek has been
neglected during the past week on ac-
count of the more pressing demands at
Bullock's creek and Catawba river, and
because the road is short of engines,
material and labor.

SECOND CLASS MAIL PRIVILEGES.

The postoffice department is still af-
ter the abusers of the second class mail
privileges, and in it's rulings is making
no discrimination between trade jour-
nails and county papers, or other pub
lications.
There is a large class of county pub
lications that depends for support al
most exclusively upon advertisements,
solicited on the basis of circulation
which has no bona fide existence; but
which is bolstered up by the persistent
sending Of papers to individuals who
are not actual subscribers.
The most common method of the pub
fishers of such papers is to secure
names and postoffices and mail their
papers. either without authority or on
trial. Being bound by their contracts
with their advertisers to send out a
given number of papers. such publish
tinuance on the part Of trial subscri-
bers; but in the course of time at
tempt to collect from these subscri-
bers the price of subscription on the
ground that the papers have been re-
ceived from the postoffices.
Heretofore this practice has been an
inexpensive proceeding, the cost being
principally for the white paper, or in
the case of cooperative papers even
less, with postage in the counties Of
publication free Of charge to the pub
fishers. Where the victim pays, the
publisher is in that much; and
where he refuses to pay, the publish
er still counts him as that much mater
ial with which to work the advertiser.
AS a general thing, however. attempts
at collection of such subscriptions are
not abandoned until after the very
common bluff to the effect, that mas
much as the alleged subscriber has
taken the paper from the postoffice, he
must pay for it or lay himself liable
! to prosecution.
| Recent interpretations Of the laws re-
lating to second class privileges, are
calculated to put a stop to all this.
The third assistant postmaster general
holds that no papers are entitled to go
through the mails Of the county in
which they are published, free Of pos
tage, except to bona fide paid subscri-
bers, and he holds furthermore that a
bona fide subscriber is one paid within
the subscription period. That is, the
subscription must be paid within the
year, and after the expiration of the
year the paper cannot be sent through
the mails.
All those publishers that are still
sending out papers on which there is as
much as a years subscription past
due, are violating the law and laying
themselves liable to the forfeit of their
second class mail privileges, and where
they are sending papers without au-
thority, whether to n new name, or af-
ter a subscription period has expired,
they are doing the same thing.
| This Interpretation Of the law by the
