cause Of the martyred sect. The Douk-
hobors themselves pctitioned the en-
press, mother of the car, for either mil
itary exemption or permission to leave
Russia. Granted leave to emigrate, they
looked to coreligionsts in Great Brit
ain and the United States for means
to be transported. Thanks to the gen
crosby of the Society of Friends in
both countries and to the efforts of
Count Tolstoi, funds were supplied.
When 5000 of them had been settled
in Assiniboia, when they had begun
to gather herds and till the land and
make themselves comfortable, it was
thought that the troubles of the Douk-
hobors were at an end. Months ago.

enthusiasts who had been relentleSSly

refusal to enter the Russian army and
to recognize the established Russian

aside for their use Il large tract of fer
tile land in .ASsinboia. some POO miles
north Of Winnipeg.
But now the Canadians wish the
Doukhobors were somewhere else.

Adulterating an Adulterant.

1t is easy to get pure coffee by purchas-
ing the green bean and supervising the
roasting and grinding. Such a product
is SO totally different from the ground
coffee of commerce that most people
would pronounce it unpalatable and spu-
rious. 1t is a curious fact that the taste
of most coffee drinkers has been so cult
waited that they prefer coffee with chico
~ in it.
Therefore the curious result has hap
pened that, although chicory was former
ly cheap, it is now sold at nearly the
price of coffee and has itself become a
subject of adulteration. Among the sub
stances used to adulterate chicory are
roasted wheat. rye, acorns, carrots,
croats and oak bark powder.

Recently Il wealthy merchant in Par
Is who does an extensive business with
Japan was Informed that prominent
firm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name of the firm he could not learn,
though he was most anxious to ascer-
tain whether it was the one with which
he did most of his business in that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling. but instead he went to the
man. well known banker. who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
THAT'S a very delicate thing to do"
replied the banker, for the news is
not official, and if gave you the name
l might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this propositions:
Il will give YOU he said "a list of
ten firms in Yokohama, and | will ask
you TO look through it and then to tell
me- without mentioning any name
whether Or not the name Of the firm
which has failed app ars in it. Surely
you will do that for me-"
Yes" said the banker, for if do
not mention any name cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made. The banker
looked through it and as he handed it
back to the merchant said. The name
of the firm which has failed is there"
Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant for that is the firm with
which did business" showing him a
name on the list.
BIZ how do you know that is the
firm which has failed? asked the
banker in surprise.
Very easily" replied the merchant.
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine, that of the firm with which
/ did business. All the others are ficti-
tious."

Mother.

TSouthern Farm Magazine for April.
The secret of the sweetness and
light of the American home has been
respect and reverence for parents,
especially for the mother. These
were responsible for the conserva-
tism of the South, which still per-
sists and which makes much toward
the pure Americanism of that Sec
ton. For reverence for the mother
naturally develops, through her, into
reverence for wife and sister and for
all women, not the gallantry shown
in dress parade preening and plum
ing, but the consistent conduct in
public and in private deeply rooted
in the conviction that the mother is
the real, dominant power for good
io society, and, therefore, worthy,
with all her fellows, Of the most pro-
found homage. She represents in
the highest degree the source of pa
rental authority.

fence had no witnesses, so counsel

brief but spirited address to the
jury and was followed by fearless re-
marks from Mr.. Wilcox, who with
his colleagues, ably discharged their
duty. Judge Purdy's charge to the
jury was model of absolute fair
ness and impartiality. There could
be no doubt of the prisoners guilt
and the jury returned verdict of
guilty in a few minutes.
The prisoner was sentenced to be
hanged on Friday, April %, and
when his doom was spoken he sank
to the floor gasping and terror
stricken. The jury was composed
wholly of intelligent white men and
the entire conduct of the case was
admirable. Judge Purdy requested
that the audience maintain it's good
behavior and make no demonstration
when the verdict was announced,
but had to suppress rising demon
stration just prior to adjournment.
He also firmly commended the men
of the county for their fine tribute to
the power of the law. Many ex,

order, every technicality met proper

Gated. For a woman to have to tes-
tify in such circumstances is fright
full ordeal. It is hard remedy for
lawlessness; it is bitter path to
Justice that forces woman to face
all that involves testifying in such a
case. This was heard on every side
in spite OF the great consideration
shown by all concerned in the trial

there is disposition among Repub-

fore the house committee on rules
providing for the appointment OF a

1t was reported day or two ago
that as soon as Representative Chas.
II. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who was then
in his home State, returned to Wash

up. Gen. Grosvenor, who Is now in

thusiastic supporters of the proposed
investigation among the Republicans,
but when questioned he was unable
to make any prediction as to when,
the matter is to be considered.

Sheriff Douglass OF Chesterfield Does His
Duty Bravely-And Mob, AS Usual,
Slinks Away.
Especial to The State.

Cheraw, March 31.-We had what
is thought to be the nearest approach
to a ly nching last night at Chester
field G. Fl. that has ever occurred in
the county. The negro, Will Brewer,
who killed Mr.. Mann at Hornsboro
in January, and who has been at
large since, was captured by Sheriff
Douglass last Saturday at Nashville,
Ca, and brought back to our coun-
ty for trial. Last night Sheriff
Douglass got wind of a report that a
posse of men from the upper part of
the county were going to take Brewer
out of jail. He placed SIX men in
Jail and waited to see if there was
any truth in the report. About 10
o'clock go or 70 men, some of them
masked, arrived at the court house.
Several representatives went to the
jail door and demanded the keys.
Sheriff Douglass met them and re-
fused to deliver them. He ordered
the men to leave at once or he would
have to kill Them. They withdrew
from the door, but quite number
came into the jail yard. The sheriff
then rsised a window and ordered
them to leave or be would have to
fire on them. After consultation
they withdrew and the affair ended
without bloodshed. The men were
orderly and quiet, but seemed deter
mined.

races are r. P. Hamer, Jr., G. +.
Moore, B. F. Williamson of Darling
ton and A. T. Smythe of Charleston.
The fair was not a success last
year. In 1900 it Was great success
financially and otherwise. A fair
may be financial success without
being satisfactory in other ways. In
1900 there were 10000 visitors in
Columbia. Last year the attendance
was very much less. But on account
of the hard times, and on account of
the approaching exposition in Char
lesion, there was not much money
spent in trying to have the fair big
success. The purses for the races
were unusually heavy and cost the as
sociation all of the proceeds from the
other departments. The legislature
has supplied this need, and has
placed $4,000 at the disposal of the
association. This is regarded as a
loan and Will be refunded.
In speaking Of the prospects OF
the fair, Col Holloway said yesterday
that they propose to have a good
show aud will have the people here
if Columbia will do her part and
take genuine interest in the fair.

GIVES HIM A CHANCE,
An Act Of Clemency 10 Be Commended.

TColumbia Record, March 3lst.
Last week the governor refused to
issue a requisltion on the governor
of Kentucky for the return to this
State of white man named Ashley,
who was wanted in Barnwell on the
charge Of breaking into the dispen-
sary at that place. The man was
morphine fend, and all the indica-
tions were that he was making an
effort to reform and was succeeding
splendidly. Owing to this fact and
his previous good behavior, the gov
ernor concluded that it was best to
pardon him the ofense and allow him
a chance to make man of himself.
Sheriff Creech, of BarnweIl, wrote
to the governor today, fully endors.
ing his action in refusing to issue q
requisition on the charge, but stat
ing that he had another warrent for
Ashley for horse stealing. Not
withstanding this, the governor has
decided not to make requisition, be-
cause, in the first place, the stolen
horse was returned to the owner, and,
second, because of a letter he had
received from Rev. William NJ. Bruce,
of the rescue mission of Louisville,
KY. This gentleman has had Ash,
ley under his care, and hestates that
he is just about to get out Of the hos
pital, where he has been for two
months; that he is changed man
and realizes the distress that he has
brought upon his wife and family,
and is desirous of again making him
self useful to them. Mr.. Bruce asks
that the governor withdraw the war
rant, for he believes that to bring
Ashley back now would not be to his
good. Mr.. Bruce also promises to
secure him position.
In view of the fact that nothing
has been lost through the morphine
actions of Ashley, and in the hope
that he may be reclaimed entirely,
the governor will not have him
brought back, but will give him a
chance to be man.
