language Of the instrument that con-
fers them, taken i'm connection with the
purposes for which they were con-
ferred.'
1T will not answer to strain, sub
ordinate and dwarf the constitution Of
this State. That instrument does not
bind the people to the perpetual OBJ
servance of pre-existing customs,
! usages. constructions and laws which
form no part of 1T. but ii rather eman-
cipates them from the eXclusiNeness,
monopolies, inequalities and injustices,
if any there be. that arise therefron.
Aside from the single discrimination in
respect to suffrage. in certain speci-
fed cases, the constitution does not de-
termnc the rights of the people, ac-
cording to caste, color or sex. but
leaves them free. within specified limi-
tations to secure the objects stated in
it's preamble in the best possible man
ner. The plain people need no Judicial
handbook to enable them to learn their
rights under the organic law of their
government: il is so plain. in this re-
spect. that he that runs may read and
understand his rights.
There is, in fine, one brief and con-
elusive answer to the question pro-
pounded to the members of the court;
ii is. that the burden is upon those
who deny the right Of women to hold
the office in question. to show affirma-
lively that the constitution prohibits
them from so doing. This they GER
tainly have not done. There being no
constitutional inhibition. the right to
hold that office attaches alike to both
female ana male citizens.
II therefore answer the first question
in the affirmative. and the second also,
though l am of the opinion that no fur
Their legislation is necessary to author
ize the appointment in question.

FEMALE RIGHTS
Ably Discussed By Names
Supreme Court Justices.
Famous Opinions Rendered By Emil
nent Jurists in 1874.
Associate Justice Diekerson Expourd.
Doctrine Of Women's Riahts,

An agitation is being started among
the female stenographers of the State
looking to the passage of a law by the
incoming Legislature that will give
them the right II they so desire, of be-
ing appointed full-hedged justices of
the peace. having the same powers as
are given their brothers. 1t is well
known that at present Names execu-
tive. under ruling of the Supreme
court, made nearly 30 years ago, can
not appoint women to the office of
justice of the peace: he can only give
them authority to solemnize marriages.
administer Oaths and acknowledge
deeds. and only for the county where
they reside. They cannot Go business
anywhere in the State, as can the male
justices. The governor in following the
established custom cannot appoint a
woman as a notary public although APP
plieations are frequently made by wo-
men for such appointments.
In late years the number of female
stenographcrs throughout the state
has increased very largely. They are
mostly employed in lawyers Offices
where it quite often becomes necessary
for them to act as a justice of the
peace or as ii notary public. But they
find when they attempt to secure such
appointments they run up against Il
snag. They are told by the State au-
| thOrities that they can only be given
curtailcd power as compared with that
bestowed upon men. To be sure they
are only required to pay s. for a COM
mission to sOlemnize marriages and
| the like while their male competitors
| are obliged to pay IS, but the ladies say
| they do not want to get their commits
sions at bargain counter prices. they
| being perfectly willing to pay the re-
gular IS fee provided they be given the
| same rights and privileges which the
| law gives the men folks.
| So. when the legislators come to.
gether next January they will be i'm
pOrtuned by the fair women of our
State to change the existing rules of
the executive department so that they
may have those rights vOuchsafed them
which they believe should be theirs.
1t is an interesting fact that the
| opinion of the supreme court of Maine,
drawn in 1874. declaring that female
| cannot hold an Office established by the
| constitution, was not Concurred in by
all the members of the court. The ma
jOrity opinion was concurred in by
Justice John Appleton. and Associate
Justices Jonas Cutting. Charles Dam
forth. William Writ Virgin and John
A. Peters. Associate Justices Charles
w. Walton, William G. Barrows and j.
G. Dickinson dissented from this Opin-
ion and filed exceptions to the PROPOSE
ton laid down by the majority of the
court.

Prior to 1874 there were several in
stances of the appointment and con-
firmation of women to he justices of
the peace. Doubts arose as to the con-
stitutionaIity of these appointments
and the executive council passed an or
der. which was approved by Gov.
Dingley, propounding the following
questions to the supreme court of the
State:
First. Under the constitution and
laws of this State. can woman, II
duly appointed and qualified as a JUS
tice of the peace. legally perform all
acts pertaining to such office?
Second Would it he competent for
the legislature to authorize the APP
pointment Of a married or unmarried
woman to the office of d justice OF the
peace or to administer oaths. take ac-
Acknowledgement of deeds. or solemnize
marriages, so that the same shall be

To the questions propounded the ma
iority of the court answered as fol-
lows:

HUNDREDS ARE POISONED.
ArsenicaI Springs in Mexico Cause
Death Of Thirty People, While
Four Hundred are I'll.

Reliable information has reached
San Antonio, Texas, Of trouble and
destruction of life at Mapimi, Mexico,
by the breaking forth of arsenic
springs in the mountains near the city.
The waters Of the springs have united
with those Of the springs which sup
ply the city with drinking water and
the distributing reservoir is thorough
ly impregnated with arsenic.
AS a result, thirty are dead and
over four hundred are seriously ILL.
Those nearest the reservoir seemed to
get the full benefit Of the deadly poi
son and lived only short time. This
is the first information officially re-
ceived of the matter and it was some
time before the correct source of the
poison was ascertained. BY that time
hundreds were i'll all over the city, as
if the place was stricken by plague,
and physicians were wired for from all
the surrounding mining camps and
towns.
Even when the source Of poisoning
was discovered, some time was re-
quired to ascertain the exact cause.
such a thing as natural spring arsenic
was never dreamed Of before. The
citizens are now suffering for want Of
water.

mo-" deplied the president, en-
phatically.
what can be done?" was then
asked.
81 would refer you to the men at
the head of the republican party who
are in control Of affairs in Pennsylva-

ROOSEVELT NOW A FIREMAN.
President Elected Honorary Member
of Organization of Railroaders
at Chattanooga.

President Roosevelt was elected an
honorary member of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen at Chattanoo-
ga Monday.
He attended the executive session
of the order in the morning, walking
from the hotel to the auditorium, dis
tance of few blocks, escorted by
Grand Master Sargent, a committee Of
the brotherhood and detachment OF
troop 3, state guard.
The Brotherhood first held an exec
utive session, which the president at
tended. Acting Grand Master Hanna
han welcomed the president, stating
that his attendance at this convention
would do great good to organized Ia
Dor, not only in this country, but in
Canada and other countries as well.
The president returned his thanks
for the welcome and said he was glad
to be with the brotherhood. He said
the firemen were the result which nat
urally results from the application Of
the principle Of common sense to their
work. He said that organized labor
never had made an unreasonable re-
quest of him or that if 1t had he would
have denied it. In speaking Of the ap-
pointment Of Grand Master Sargent,
of the brotherhood. to be commission
er general of immigration, the presi-
dent said it was one of the most sat
isfactory appointments to him and to
the public he had ever made; that Mr..
Sargent has a hard body and not a
soft head.
John F. McNorre, of Columbus, O.,
one of the grand officers and demo
cratic member of the legislature,
moved that the degree of grand hon
orary membership be conferred upon
President Roosevelt.
Tie resolution was referred to the
committee on bylaws whose recon-
portrnendation was unanimous that
the motion be adopted. The report OF
the conittee was adopted by rising
unanin.ou vote amid great cheers.
The president thanked the conven-
ton for the compliment paid him and
Grand Master Sargent then gave him
a pass which admits him to all meet
ings OF the brotherhood.
At this point the brotherhood ad-
journei until o'clock Tuesday morn
ing anil the public was admitted to the
auditorium to hear the presidents ad-
dress.

PEOPLE WILL DECIDE MATTER.
Georgia Voters to Say at General
Election Who Shall be State
Supreme Court Judge.

A special from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Unless a populist or republican en-
tiers the race for the supreme court
judgeship, there will be no democratic
nomination or primary to fill the va
cancy on the state supreme court
bench and the matter will be settled
at the general election on October lst
If a populist or republican enters the
race, the executive committee will be
called to meet again and democrat
will be nominated for the place.
This action was taken Monday morn
ing by the state democratic executive
committee at the meeting held in At
lanta. The resolution providing fol-
the nomination in event populist or
a republican became candidate was
introduced by Attorney General Boy
kin Wright, who is a member Of the
executive committee from Richmond
county. The resolution was vigorous
ly fought by the North Georgia men,
but it was finally adopted by a vote
of 21 to Is.
The committee was evidently in IA
vor of Judge Gambler at least a major
ity of the members. were. The friends
of Judge Gober and Judge Russell de-
sired that a primary should be held
or that the candidate should be nomi'
mated by mass meetings and pulled
hard for that settlement of the ques,
ton, but the majority of the members
did not think that wise step to take
and voted down the motion. The fol-
lowing was the resolution adopted:
"Resolevd that this committee take
no other action as to nominating a
candidate for justice Of the supreme
court unless some other than demo
crat should offer for said office; then
the chairman can convene this com
mittee to select democratic candl-
date"

His Tonoue ParaIyZed.

]. ". Maxwell, who lives in the SUI
burbs of Spartanburg, while driving to
his farm a. few days ago, met with
peculiar accident He was driving
across a ditch when the buggy gave a
tilt to one side, throwing him to the
ground, the back of his head striking
the ground first He regained his seat
in the buggy, drove back to the city
and thence to his home on Union
street. AS he was entering his house
a sudden pain struck him and he fell
to the floor. Shortly afterwards his
tongue became partially paralyzed and
for a time he could not speak. 1t is
the opinion Of the physician in attend
ance that the shock Of the fall burst
a blood vessel near the base OF the
brain. Mr.. Maxwell's condition at last
accounts was critical.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1902-09-11

in Tuesdays election: For the Uni
ted States senate, Elliott, with 1852
votes; Hemphill, 1886; Henderson,
1885, and Johnston, 13.3O7, we're
dropped after the first primary, while
Latimer, with 22,93S, and Evans with
1854, remained to contest for the
prize.
The remarkably close vote OF the
four old-time conservatives is matter
CT comment. These four men knew
that they were cutting each others
throats; they also knew that any one
Of them getting into he second race
with either Evans or Latimer would
be he next senator The possibility
of the prize made it impossible to
draw straws. so that some might fall
out. AS it was they all fell together.
The men voted for by only 10000 OF
the $4,000 voters will run over, and
one of them is elected so that the MI
nority of the voters in the state have
their man elected.
For comptroller general, Jones, of
Abbeville, with 24,766 votes, and Wal
ker, of Greenville, with 1858, made
the run over.
Evans, of Columbia, with 1854, and
Cunningham, of Saluda, with 1o,24l,
went into the final race for railroad
commissioner. This is good for six
years, with a fat salary, little work
and many privileges. Nine men were
in pursuit of the plum.
For adjutant general, Frost, of Co.
lumbia, and Boyd. Of Greenville, were
the ones to lead in the field of five.
In the gubernatorial race Ansel car
ried four counties by majorities; Hey
ward carried ten, Talbert one, Tim
norman one, Tillman none. The re-
markable vote was in Heyward's home
county, Colleton. This has since 1883
been a strong reform county. This
year, however, all old lines were elimi-
mated and with a unanimity unprece-
dented in this state Colleton's farmers
stood by Heyward The total vote was
2,373 of which four candidates re-
ceived the aggregate Of 115 and Hey
ward the balance, 2,258.
A good many thousand dollars were
lost in wagers that J. H. Tillman
would be elected in the first contest,
or that he would be in the second race.
The official count will make known for
certain who are victors in the excit-
ing and long contest.
