CAROLINA WON.
Beat Clemson in Foot Ball Game
Thursday by a Score
of IL to s.

Columbia, Oct. 3o.-The result of
the foot ball game today was a great
surprise. South Carolina College de-
feated Clemson, by score of II to 6.
The game was not marked with
Clemsons' USUAL brilliant work, and
Carolina outplayed the Tigers at every
point. Carolina's rushes and many
plays were irresistible, and in the
first half Carolina never failed to gain
when the ball was in her possession.
Clemson's defense was weak, and her
offensive work was broken up by Caro-
lima in beautiful shape. The famous
formations of Coach Heisman were
disrupted, and Clemson repeatedly lost
the ball.
In the first half Clemson kicked of.
Carolina got the ball and kept ad-
vancing until the first touchdown was
made, in less than three minutes.
The second touchdown for Carolina
was made,in this half. In the second,
Clemson made one of her wonderful
combination plays, and Sitton ran
seventy-ive yards with the ball for a
touchdown. Subsequently the ball
was advanced to Carolinas' ten-yard
line, but the ball finally went over,
and when the referees whistle blew
the ball was being rapidly forced back
on Clemson. Mr.. Williams and Chris,
tie E met of the University of Vir-
ginia, coached Carolina.
There were 25, GOO people on the fail

UL CLINIC ERUPTION IN GUATEMALA.

San Francisco, Oct 3o.-The entire
coffee zone of Guatemala has been
destroyed by flames and smoke from
the volcano Of Santa Maria. Eruptions
threaten the destruction Of every llV-
ING thing within reach Of the fumes
and fire that pour from the burning
mountain, according to cable to
Castle Bros, importers of this city re-
ceived from their coffee plantation in
Guaternala. Only meagre details are
given.
Last Monday said Louis Hirsch,
of Castle Bros, wire to our repre-
setatiYe there, asking for news of the
eruption of Santa Maria, and last
night, I received in reply this cable
. Il is true. Enormous losses: prob
able volcanic eruption. Coffee zone
DESTROYED. Our lives are in danger.
Further reports will follow.
.sThe coffee districts referred to, /"
said Mr.. Hirsch, are the Costa Cusa
and Costa Grande. They are The
finest plantations in the country. Ii
the coffee district is destroyed as the
cable seems to indicate, cne-tElrd CT
the crop is most likely involved.

located between Retalhulen and Quez-
altenango. The towns in the neigh
borhood most likely destroyed are
San Felipe, Mazatenangc and Quez

THEY WHIPPED EACH OTHER.
How Two Cotton Thieves Were
Punished in Anderson County.

Anderson, October 29.-An unusual
occurrence is reportd from the Toney
Greek section of the county. For some
time citizens of that section have been
troubled by having cotton and other
farm products stolen, end few nights
ago the house of a negro woman In the
community was searched and some Of
the stolen property was found in her
possession. The woman claimed the
stuff had been brought to her house by
two negro men, who she named. The
men were taken into custody and read
ily admitted their guilt. A constable
was then sent for, but before the Off
Ger arrived the men asked to be given
a whipping rather than be sent to jail.
As the whipping post has long been
abolished in South Carolina, the only
way the matter, could be arranged
was to let the men whip each other,
which they eagerly agreed to do.
They were then carried off into an old
field and stripped, and furnished with
buggy trace, and with white man
to act as umpire and keep count the
game commenced. Foul tips were not
counted. The game was called at the
end of the second inniong, the score
standing 100 to in favor of the one
who suggested this plan of expiating
their wrong doing. The men will be
laid up for day or so, it is said, but
they are not seriously hurt. The men
are very well satisfied, and the people
of the community are delighted with
this plan Of setting a petty larceny
case. It will be tried again if there is
ever similar need for it.

Our COLONIES as
COMPARED With OTHERS.
British, French and Dutch Pos
sessions in Orient investigated.

Washington. Oct. 29.-The report
made by Prof. jerks, of Cornell
University, on his observations in the
English and Dutch possessions Ill the
Orient was made public today by the
war department.
Prof. jerks find that notwithstand-
ngconsiderable progress mas been made
in the dependencies during recent de-
cades. in no country visited has much
been done looking to the establish
ment of self-goyernment. Nowhere in
the dependencies of England, Holland
or France in the Orient has there been
granted, he says so great a measure OF
self government as the United States
has already given to the Filipinos.
Prof. jerks, with respect to cur
rency system for the Philippines, in
clines to recommend fixed rate OF
exchange with gold between the isl
ands and the United States. This
in accord with the suggestion of the
Philippine commission. A recon-
mendation is made that employers Of
labor be permitted to introduce
Chinese laborers into the Philippines
under contract for period Of not over
three years in each individual instance.
Following the almost universal Gus
tom of Oriental countries, it is sug-
gested that it would be best for the
government to retain the title to lands
and lease them for somewhat long
periods-thirty years or so-at fixed
rental, reserving the right to revise
the terms of rent at the end of the
nerind named.

GEORGIA TAXES 4 alND.
Courts Declare the Act of Dispen
sary Constables Was Illegal
and They Violated the
interstate Commerce
Laws.

In the sueprior court yesterday 9
case was tried that involved the cues,
ton of the legal right of the dispen,
sary constabulary of South Carolina,
snRder the interstate commerce laws,
TO seize and eon6scate goods In the
hands of a common carrier.
The verdict of the jury, after
clear cut and able charge by.Judge E.
L. Brinson, carried with it the follow,
ing deelarations:
The constabulary created by the dis.
pensary laws Of South Carolina have
no right to seize goods in transit, as
it is a violation of the interstate laws
and the common carrier allowing them
to seize and coniscate goods before
they are delivered to the conslgnee, Is
liable to the consignor for the value
of the shipment.
The case was as follows
Some time ago Mr. Paul Heymann,
local liquor dealer, shipped cask
OF LIQUOR to a party In Charleston, 8.
c., via the Southern Railway. 1t
was valued at S67. While the shipment
was in the depot, and before it could
be tlrned over to the consignee, the
eonstabulary seized it, under the state
dispensary act. The conslgnee would
not pay the bill, never having received
che liquor.
Mr.. Heymann entered suit against
the Southern road for the value OF the
shipment, alleging that they were re-
sponsible. The suit came On for trial
yesterday.
The railroad denied their liability
for two reasons: First, the goods were
seized under procedure in law, by
recognized officials of the law, they
could not resist the act, and hence
we're not liable; second, due notice
had been given the eonsignors, that
they might seek redress from the par
ties responsible for the act Of seizure.
The plaintiff contended that the
seizure vas violation Of the inter
state commerce laws of the United
States, and hence in no sense legal,
that the railroad was bound to both
the consignor and the consignee to
protect their interests, and that fail
INC. trey we're liable for its value.
The plaint7f denied any notice, al
leging that nothing vas said until they
had inaagurated inquiry as to the
shipment.
Judge Brinson's charge to the jury
as to the Law clearly sustained the
contention of the plaintiff. A verdict
vas returned for the full amount sued
fsorS67.
A similar case, against another road
is now pending in the superior court,
with Mr.. Heymann as plaintiff. S.

4 WITeH-KILLER SPARED.
Death Sentence COMMITTED by
President Roosevelt.

Washington, Oct 30.-The President
has committed to life Imprisonment
the death sentence pronounced upon
Solomon Hotena, convicted IN the
Eastern district of Texas of murder
committed in the Indian Territory,
on November, %, 1901.
The case is an exceptional one. In
his report to the President recommend
ing the commutation of TIE death SEN
tence Attorney General Knox says:
"The petitioner is Choctaw indian,
well educated in his own tongue and
in the English language. He has been
lawyer, Judge, Presbyterian
minister and man of great wealth
and high standing among his people.
It is also shown that he was very
charitable and took an active part In
all public matters looking towards the
education and well-being of members
of his tribe, as well as of white per-
sons who lived with them. 1t is
shown that for many years he had been
in the habit Of getting drunk, but
that aside from this his life has al
ways been exemplary It appears that
short time before the murder he lost,
by death, several childen in rapid sue
cession and, believing in witches and
witchcraft, be conceived the idea that
certain persons, whom he believed to
be witches, were responsible for the
death of his children and for misfor-
tunes which had happened to other
members of his tribe. On the morn
ing of the killing. being more or less
under the influence of liquor, he start
ed out with the expressed intention
of killing certain persons whom he
declared to be witches. He first went
to the house Of Vina Coleman, an In
dian woman, for whose murder he
now stands convicted. It appears that
this woman was related to him; that
he had always been On most friendly
terms with her; had furnished her
and her family with provisions, and
had persuaded other persons to give
her work in order that she might sup
port herself and her children. Going
to her house, he accused her of being
a witch and shot her to death With
shotgun, at the same time wounding
a small child that was near her. At
the same time he shot and badly
wounded a ffteen-year-old boy who
was running away to give the alarm:
He thereupon mounted his horse and
proceeded to the home of a man, whom
be accused of being a witch, and shot
him to death. He then proceeded to
another house and killed another wom-
an, whom he accused of being witch.
aside from the brief statement
herein before set out I will say that
absolutely no rational motive is shown
for the killing Of these people by the
petitioner. 1t seems to be clearly es-
tahlished that the petitioner killed
them because of his deluded belief
that they we're witches and that be
was justified in removing them.
ssI am clearly Of the opinion that
the sentence of death should not be
carried out in this case, and l am as
clearly convinced that this petitioner
should never be permitted to go at
Iaree.' -
