Magistrate Wise of Saluda

tronh]s- He failed, it is alleged. to
arrest Mr.. Sollse, who shot Mr..
Ashill near Lessville, until day
after the occurrence, and then took
the remarkable action of releasing
tho pris 'nsr on the small bond of
$500 while the victims life is still
hanging in the balance.
Gov. McSweensv was not lit
tle surprised when he read the
following communication received
rsstsadaY from Solicitor j. VIM.
fhnrmond, dated Batesburg:
81 stopped over at Lessville this
AFTERNOON, on my way to Colum
hla, and called to see Mr. AsbilI,
and found that the newspaper re-
port of the shooting of Asbill by
oollee was not exaggerated-th
shooting was certainly unvarrent-
ed and brutal. After Asblll had
been placed in one of Asbilrs
houses, Solles ordered him to be
takon out or he would finish him
mp so he was then carried to
Leesvills, four or five mile. IN
almost dying condition.
"A brother of tho shot man ex
plaissd this fully to Mr.. G. G.
Wise, magistrate in Saluda
county, the day of the shooting,
at which time warrsnt was issu-
ed. and yet tina. magistrate did
not have the arrest made until
the next morniIfg; and then,
knowing that A.bill was liable to
die at any time, granted SoIles
bnil in the sum of $500.
"Sollee has nov disappeared,
whether he is fugitive from jus
tice | cannot saw, but that is tho
opinion of tho community.
"Ths conduct Of the magistrate

tho law, and any magistrate who

IN such case rs this should forth

"Magistratss have no right to
bail when tho offence is capital,
and 1t is their duty to see that tho
offence is not capital before thsy

is the offence, of course, in such a
case.
elf the attorney general agrees
with mo, that q defendant .scnr-
ing bail fr.m a magistrate while
his victim is likely to die at any
Tune is not entitled to his release,
because tho magistrate had no
right to give him bail, then a re-
ward should he offered for Sollse
unless he comes back at once.
"I have never before recon-

SUCCESSFUL USE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago Jan. II (SpeciaD.-The use of antitoXln IN
the cure Of diphtheria in Chicago has been pro-
nounced success. For the period Of five years pre-
cedng the introduction Of antitoxin by the Health
Department the diphtheria death rate for Chicago
was ll59 for each 10000 people For the period
Of five years following, from 1895 10 1900, during
which antitoKin has been in general use, the death
rate from diphtheria 545, reduction Of 90 per
cent These figures have fully established the
efficacy Of the treatment in the minds OF the medi-
cal profession in this city.
In addition the above statistics, the reports OF
the Health Department show that there has been
an actual reduction in the number Of deaths from
diphtheria and Group although the increase in pop
uaton has been large. In ISs3-'95 there were 45oo
deaths from dphtheria and Group; in 1865 there
were only 2552 such deaths. decline of 43 per cent
or an actual saving Of 1853 lives in the last three
years compared with the preceding three years.
The introduction Of anttoxin in Chicago met
with decided opposition but in the face Of the re-
markable reduction of the diphtheria death rate,
which could be attributed 10 nothing save the use
Of antitoxin, the opposition has entirely disap-
peared About one hundred cases Of diphtheria are
treated each month by the Health Department
while the laboratory distributes anttoIin for be-
tween FIVE hundred and six hundred more in the
same period to tho physicians of Chicago:
To the close supervision OF the pupnc scIioos
by medical inspectors under the direction or the
Board OF Health together with the use OF antoXln,
is attributed the rapid decrease of dphther!a among
the school children of the city. The antitoxn fur
nished by the New-York Board OF Health Is used
exclusively in Chicago.

for the last year shows that out OF 602 cases

centage of mortality $50 to the hundred. Out
of seventy-hve cases of laryngeal diphtheria
treated with antitoxn forty-eight recovered
the percentage of mortality being only SO. DR..
Stokes says:
Antitoxin is one OF the greatest wonders Of

the disease and put il down as less serious
than scarlet fever. Laryngeal diphtherla was
formerly considered fatal. This was before in

It is important that the antitoxin be USED at
