SPENDING PUBLIC FUNDS.
An Appropriation Of s500,o0o to
be Expended at Manila.

Washington. Jan. 22.-some of the
old partisan fire was injected into the
poceedings of the house today when
the item in the urgent deficiency bill
appropriating $500, 900, for a military
post at Manila, which the Democrats
have been using as text for speeches
in opposition to the Philippine policy
of the administration for the last
three days was reached. Mr.. Cannon,
in charge of the bill, confessed that
the appropriation was subject to a
point o: order and it went out. In
lieu thereof he offered an amendment
to appropriate the same sum for the
shelter and protection "ssof the officers
and enlisted men of the army doing
duty in the Philippines. This the
chair held to be in order, and it at
once became the subject of very
spirited debate in which Mr. Richard
son, the minority leader, Mr.. Will
liams, of Mississippi, and Mr.. De Ar
mond, of Missouri, we're pitted against

Of the amendment stood, ayes l27 !:

Supreme Court On Chart Question.
Lower Courts Position Sustained
in Matter---Counfies Won't
Have to Pay.

Columbia, Jan. 21.-The State
supreme court has handed down an
opinion that winds up the celebrated
chart business which has attracted so
much attention. The decision sustains
the view taken by Mr.. Gunter of the
attorney generals Office in the opinion
he furnished the county boards of
school trustees when the issue first
arose.
It will be recalled that an agent of
Chicago chart factory. named Tutwil-
er, canvassed this State about three
years ago and sold to county boards of
school trustees about S1OG, 000 worth of
his school charts, which were placed
at $3.50 each, it being subsequently
alleged that they were not worth more
than about 81. The charts we're sold
and notes taken from the trustees.
When Nj. McMahan became superin-
tendent of education he called atten-
tion to the matter and an opinion was
asked from the attorney generals
Office. It was to the effect that the
school trustees had no authority TO
purchase such charts, and thereupon
throughout the state the county super
intendents refused payment of the
claims.
In Lexington county suit was
brought by the Loan and Exchange
Bank, Columbia, against T. W. Shealy
raising all the issues. Judge Ernest
Gary took the same view as the attor-
ney generals Office, and then an appeal
was taken to the State supreme court.
This court has now sustained Judge
Gary and the chart claims will not
be paid by the counties.
The court did not pass upon the
question of the individual liability of
the members of the boards of trustees.

Walhalla, Jan. sl.-Alfred Z. Bal

Jury so rendered its verdict.

Why scheepers Vas Executed.

London, Jan. 23.-The war secre-
tary. Mr.. Broderick, was asked by
William Redmond Irish Nationalist)
in the house of commons today why
Commandant Scheepers was executed
last Saturday at Graaf Reinet. Cape
Colony. The secretary replied that
Scheepers was shot because ne had
been convicted of various offenses
against the usages of war, including
seven cold -blooded murders Of natives
and the fogging of white man. Mr..
Broderick added that the fact that
Conmandant Scheepers was prisoner
of war carried no exemption from trial
for murder or other violations Of the
rules of war.
Mr.. Balfour. the leader in the house,
partially parried an interesting ques-
tion put by Mr.. McLaren (Liberal as
to whether any proposals in behalf Of
the leaders of the Beers, with the
view of bringing about settlement
of the war, had been received by the
government since the negotiations be-
tween Gen. Kitchener and Gen. Bo-
tha.
"No proposals of that kind said
Mr.. Balfour, has reached Us or the
part of any one able to speak for the
leaders of the Boer forces. -
The evasive reply of the government
leader was taken to be confirmation
of the reports that proposals had been
received from the Boer delegates in
Europe but had been rejected.

REAL HONEST LAWYER FOUND.
Wanted No Unfair Advantage of
the Man He Had Sued and Stat
ed Both Sides of the Case.

Newport, KY, Jan. PA case
without a parallel in the Campbell
Circuit Court was tried today. The
style of the case was Brown & Terrell
VS.. Haase, and upon its calling defen-
dant's attorneys were absent. Mr..
Terrell, one of the plaintiffs, arose and
said he was a practicing attorney of
Govington, and being directly interest
ed in the case he did not desire to
take advantage of the attorneys on the
other side and asked for continuance.
A messenger was dispatched for the
absent attorneys, but returned with
out either and the court ordered the
case to proceed.
Mr.. Terrell, as attorney, witness
and one of the plaintiffs, was request
ed by the court to make a statement
to the jury. He proceeded, and
created mild sensation SO straight
forward were his statments in detailing
both sides, reading the answer in
full of the defendant, in which it was
alleged that plaintiffs, having given
no consideration for the new note
given by Haase, it could not be col
lected. After concluding both siddes
the court instructed the jury. The
latter was not out more than five min
utes when it returned verdict for the
plaintiffs for the full amount of the
note and interest. The amount of the
note was s731. MIR. Terrell is young
man and was but recently admitted
to practice at the Kenton bar. He
was comparatively a stranger to New
port attorneys until the conclusion of
his case today, when all we're anxious
to make his acquaintance, and the
verdict of the audience was that a

Some Warm Passages in The Low
er House Over the RedIstriet-
ing Bill.

Colubmia, Jan. 22.-The house met
at 12 O'Clock and spent nearly two
hours discussing the redistricting
bills. The debate started off in a
matter of fact way, but was still under
discussion and in a very spirited man
ner when the house adjourned.
The debate took wide latitude and
some of the representatives became
almost personal in their statements.
There was quite number Of new bills
introduced yesterday.
The house adopted a resolution in
troduced by Mr. Harvey Wilson pro-
vidirg for the acceptance of the invi-
tation to Augusta Friday in order to
get some Information on road build
ing.
afterwards Mr.. Richards moved to
reconsider the vote whereby the house
accepted the invitation. He had
heard that the senate had killed a
similar resolution.
Mr.. Wilson explained why he had
introduced the resolution. Good
roads are of paramount importance,
and then there is social side to the
question. He would like to see Geor-
gia and Carolina bound closer togeth
er. Several members spoke in oppo-
sition to accepting the resolution.
The house reconsidered its former &C
tion and the resolution was rejected.
The matter Of redistricting the State
came up as the special order.
There were three bills on that ques-
ton.
Mr. MCGOWAN made the first speech
on the question and defended his bill.
We live under a dual government.
South Carolina is entitled to seven
1900, 900, and the unit Of representa-,
ton is 191, 600. Each district should
approximate that number in popula-
ton The several districts should be
nearly equal. He showed the objec
tions to the existing scheme OF dis
tricts. There are in the fourth dis
trict nearly 245, coo people, while in
another district the population is but

its of his bill. The fourth district
which he proposes falls about 5000
short in population, out viii in very
few years have the requisite amount.
