Moot Point Of Law.

An English writer gives a good ex-
ample of those quibbles in legal practice
that have sort of fascination for certain
minds, says the Youths Companion.
Some years ago, while travelling on the
continent, he met the principal lawyer
for the government of one of the prin-
cipalities, who told him of curious legal
question. 1t had reference to railway
station at the boundary between two prln-
cipalities.
Some one standing outside the window
of the ticket Office had put his hand
through and robbed the till inside. The
boundary line lay between where the
thief stood and the till, so that he was
actually in one territory while the crime
was committed in the other. Here was
nice nut for the gentlemen learned in
the law to crack. Which of the princi-
palities should undertake the prosecution
of the culprit?
At it they went in good earnest, and
arguments on either side were long and
vehement, till the whole case was en-
balmed in many volumes. At last one
side yielded so far as to say:
eve will permit you, as all act of court
esy, to prosecute, while at the same time
reserying all our sovereign rights"
At this point of the recital asked,
"And how did the prosecution end?"
"Ah! that is quite another matter" said
my friend. "There was no prosecution :;
we were only arranging what we should
do when we caught the robber; but we
never caught him."

Why One Juror Was Scratched.

S In certain case the Judge ordered the
sheriff to call the roll of thirty-five "good
men and true, Selected forjury duty. Only
TWENTY-FIVE answered to their names, and
the sheriff looked somewhat inquiringly
at the judge, but the latter was calmly
wipinghis glasses while he uttered the
customary; "Any desiring to be excused
from service on this jury will now come
forward:
Twenty men made movement for
ward, and the clerk stopped his work OF
noting those who had failed to respond to
the summons to look in wonder at the en-
tire vcnire desiring to escape.
"Well," said the judge, speaking to a
long, thin, nervous-looking young man,
'why DO you wish to be excused?"
"If it pleases your honor" answered the
aforesaid thin individual, "Pd like to be
excused on account of illness. I'm suffer.
ing from something that might proye en-
barrasing to the other jurors, and 1t IL
certainly embarrassing to me-"
What is the nature of your illness :?
asked the judge.
"Wen," said the young man, hesitating,
ly, "Td prefer to tell you in private. I'm
something delicate about speaking of it
in public"
81 cannot hear anything in private" re-
piled the Judge impatiently. IF YOU
want to be excused you must tell me here
and now what is the matter with you?"
"Well, if l must tell it here-I have the
itch"

Mr.. Copeland Explains.

EHRHARDT, S. c., April IA, 1902.
EDITOR BAMBERa HERALD, Bamberg,
S. C.-Dear Sir: In your paper of last
week the following paragraph was pub
lished relative to claims disapproyed by
county board: 1.-The claim Of s. w. Cope
land for damages for running into ditch
and breaking his buggy was refused"
This statement is very misleading to the
public, and as l desire it to be explained,
I take this method Of doing so. Ibid not
run into any ditch, but fell over an en-
bankment made by the chain gang in grad
ing down hill. was driving along a
country road after dark, and where the
country road comes into the public road
the chain gang had graded down hill,
throwing the dirt out, thus making an
embankment about five or six feet high.
This country road forked in about 20 or
80 feet of the public road, one fork going
straight across to public road to Colleton
county, and the other fork coming into
the public road at a point farther up the
hill and leading to Ehrhardt. Here is
where the accident happened. | had been
accustomed to travelling this fork of the
road; my horse was accustomed to it, and
it being dark and the road not Obstructed
at the other end Now, who is to blame?
If any obstruction had been placed in the
road I would have run against it and stop
ped and investigated, but there was moth
ing to warn me of the danger ahead. l
do not accuse the chain gang of purpose
lv leaving the road open, but | do say
that it was their carelessness in not shut
ting up the other end that caused the
accident. Mr.. Bruce did have the other
fork of the road fixed for people who were
going straight across the road, but 1t is
almost impossible to use it for coming
here, SO much so that Mr.. j. F. Copeland
has moved his fence and given enough
land for road to come out at the top OF
the hill into the public road.
I only asked the county for $25, the
actual amount paid out for doctors bill
and damage to buggy, and one Of the
county board members toQk the claim for
me at the suggestion of the Supervisor
and presented it to the board. These are
the true circumstances of the case and |
leave it to the public to say whether or
not am entitled to what asked.
S. W. COPELAND.
In reference to the statement publish
ed in this paper, we took it from the
minutes of the county board, and the Ian
guage used by us is the same recorded by
that body.-Ed. Herald.]

XOt Easily Excited.

Out in Prairie du Chen, Wis, lives an
old German, now past 80, who has for
years been in the hotel business. The old
gentleman is very fond of card playing,
and "pitch" is his favorite game.
One day couple of years ago party
was sitting about table playing, and just
as the cards had been dealt and sorted
and it was up to the old gentleman to bid
for the trump, boy rushed into the office
and in great excitement said the barn
was on fire.
Without showing the least perturbation
the old gentleman turned to him, and the
following conversation took place:
"Did you get out the horsey'
Eyes"
"Did you get the buggy out?"
Eyes"
"Well," turning to the players, 81 bid

A meeting of the executive committee
of the State Fair Association was held in
Charleston last week, at which a resolu-
tion was adopted proposing to consider
propositions ''from any city Inshe State
to hold its next annual fair in that city,
This means that Columbia is not giving
the financial assistance to the Fair that
she should, and it will be held in the city
which makes the best proposition. Here
is a good chance for Charleston. She
should get the Fair by all means. The
Exposition grounds and buildings could
be used for this purpose, thereby transfer
ring the attraction to Charleston with
little trouble or expense. 1t would be a
good thing for the old city, so she should
go into the competition and get the State
Fair.

When we come to write of the life an

When we come to write of the life and
virtues of Wade Hampton, what can We
say? His deeds of yalor, devotion, pa
triotism and sacrifice are writ too deeply
into the hearts of all patriotic South
Carolinans for us to add anything to the
record. In war and in peace his every
heart throb pulsed with his love for his
State and his people. We have no words
to express our feelings, but it is our can
did opinion that South Carolina never
produced greater man, and that we shall
never see his like again. Build q monu-
ment to his memory and thus give tangi-
BILE evidence to the world of the great love
of his people for him, but he needs no
monument. His monument is already
erected in the hearts of those who knew
and loved him, and, so long as truth,
honor, and patriotism are cherished, so
long will the name of Hampton be re-
membered and revered.

Oklahoma Amenities.

George Peck returned home the other
day from Oklahoma Territory, where he
had journeyed to sell few furnaces and
other things, says the Cincinnati Enquir-
er. He relates an incident of the woolly
west that is characteristic and quite Okla
homesque.
Mr. Peck is nothing if not diplomatic,
and when he found that the president of
the school board in his territorial city
was also the owner of hotel he decided
to stop at his hostelry.
For why? Because he wanted to get
his furnaces into the school buildings in
the place, and-well's that's another story.
Mr.. Peck found the hotel-keeper to be
a wholesouled, jolly fellow, and there's
nobody more jovial than Peck himself.
They visited the schools, the president
of the board first putting on long-tailed
coat, saying:
"She adds dignity, an then she hides
my gun, which are bad example, a1ore
them children. I don't approve of any
body under IA carryin' gun"
After returning to the hotel from the
visit of inspection the president of the
board, now transferred into landlord
said:
"Peck, you're good feller You amt
goin' to let your light be hid under a
bushel, Peck?"
mo, 1 amt" said Mr.. Peck, rather
dubious rs to the compliment.
"Well, tell you what Pm goin' to dc

"What are you doing?" asked the cler-

child.
The minister sat very still and the child
worked away earnestly. Then she stop
ped and compared her work with the orig
