Their engagement is said to be an

Stopping a Leak.

In the discussion of the ship
subsidy bill IN the Senate ysster-
day, Mr.. Money said it had been
claimed that the American people
were losing $3.50, 900, 200 year
because that amount was paid to
foreign vessels for carrying our
commerce. He alleged that the
United States had'lost nothing, as
it simply paid Il reasonable rate
for services performed. If pay
ment by the government to
Americans of ten or twelve mil.
lions year will cause that vast
sum to be earned by Americans it
will be profitable investment.
The: more money kept at home in
circulation, the richer and more
powerful will this country be-
come. If the ideas favored by
Senator Money became the policy
of this government, it would not
be lsng before this country would
become impoverished by a stsady
outgo Of money from it's channels
OF trsde to foreign countries,
whose cheap labor enables them
to make and sell many articles
cheaper than they can be made
and sold by this country. The
ship subsidy bill, if it become a
law, will stop the biggest leak left
and further swell the balance of
trade in favor of this nation.
That ceantry which has a trade
balance IN its favor steadily grows
richer. Under Cleveland's ad-
ministration the United States
had a practical demonstration of
how it hurts to have the trade
balance against. Columbia Rec

Judicial Leniency.

1t is hard matter to have
crime punished in South Carolina.
Even when the juries do their
duty there are eften other diff
culties In the way-the leniency
of judges and the mercy of gov
ernors. In Ocenee last week con-
victions were secured in two
homicide cases that appear to have
been particularly atrocious, but
the sentences imposed were ridic,,
ulously light. Three men tried
for the killing of a woman were
convicted of manslaughter only,
which would seem to be lenisncy
itself, but the presiding Judge
let the prisoners of with a six
years in the penitentiary for each.
In another case the dsfen d amt
was convicted Of marslaughter
having killed, his father-in law
with an axe, and he, too. got off
with term of six years in tho
penitentiary. Attention would
not have been directed to these
instances were 1t not for the fact
that there have been previous
cases in which very light sentences
have been imposed by Judge
Ernest Gary, who In many other
respects, is an excellent judge.

Referring to the publication in
The Herald of Saturday concern
ing the birthplace of Andrew
Jackson, Mr.. Z. b. Mobley on
Monday related to us conversa-
tion he once had with the late
Colonel William Walkup, who
lived in Union county, N. c.,
not far from old Tirzah church.
Colonel Walkup had made extsn-

fact "a to the place of birth of
Jackson and he felt convinced

ma, but only about three hundred
yards from the State limo. His
statement to Mr.. Mobley and
Rev. w. N Anderson, who
was also q visitor at Col. Walkup's
home at the time, was that Mrs.
Jackson's homo was IN ssuth
Carolina, the o,d "Crawtord
place." very near the State line.
She had been on a visit to 4
daughter, Mrs. Lesley, who
lived in North Carolina, and
when on the way to her home,
she stopped at the house Of an
other daughter, Mrs. McCanle;
whore Andrew, the future presi.
dent, was born that night. AS
stated above, the McCamie house
was in North Carolina and pile
of dirt and broken bricks, which
are still to be seen, are to this
day pointed out to the traveller
as the ruins of the birthplace of
Andrew Jackson. 90
Whether this be a true account
of the event which gave to Ameri-
ca one of her greatest presidents
and most distinguished statesmen,
must remain a secret until the
grave shall give up It's dead.
Mr.. Mobley made the point at
Col. Walkup's home that night
that the Waxhaws was his birth
place whether Old Hickory first
saw the light of day in North
Carolina or South Carolina-that
If in the former State, the place
is about 800 yards from the line;
if in the latter, the distance is
about 500 yards.
"But," remarked Mr.. Ander-
soB, cit matters not which of the
Carolinas he was born in-he
never amounted to anything until
Tennessee got hold of hin."
That seemed to be one point
settled. At any rate, it was not
disputed. (Ar. Anderson is a
Tennessean.
When on tho return from Col.
Walkup's homo, Mr.. Mobley and
