CAPERS AND JENKINS,
Republican Office Holders, Said to Have Vic
lated Civil Service Rules.

Charleston, November Son charges
OF pernicious activity, preferred by T.. ii /.
Deas, chairman of the State Republican
organization. Civil Service Examiner
Fred. Wannamaker, has been making
full investigation here with the political
movements of United States District At
torney Capers and Collector of Internal
Revenue Micah Jenkins.
Since his appointment as District At
tOrney, Capers has been regarded as the
political dictator in South Carolina and
has been consulted freely in the matter
OF distributing patronage. Deas and
Capers have been fighting each other,
and this bitter warfare came to climax
with the filing of direct charges by the
former.
Before he came to Charleston Mr..
Wannamaker had hearing in Columbia
Major Jenkins was put through rigid
cross examination, and the testimony
was withheld. From Columbia the civil
service commissioner came here, put Mr.
Capers on the stand, where he was under
cross fire for hours by Deas, who is a
negro. Further than to say the exami-
nation was conducted, Mr.. Wannamaker
has refrained from making any public
statement
Capers has been disposed to make
light of the Deas attack. He claims
that Deas is sore politically, and has
taken this method of attack in view of
his defeat for Federal office.
According to common political talk
tho Republican leaders in Washington
looked to Capers as the man who could
build up q white Republican organiza-
tion in South Carolina. This movement
has not amounted to anything thus far.
1t has led to all manner of bitterness in
the Republican ranks, and the preference
given Capers has been resented by older
Republicans, who claim that Capers was
but recently converted from the Demo-
Cratic party.
Just how weak the Republican party
is In Charleston county was indicated in
the election Tuesday, when Prioleau, the
negro candidate for Congress, polled less
than fifty votes in the race against Geo
S. Legare, the nominee of the Demo
cratic primary. The registration and
franchise laws keep the negroes from
voting.
1t is not known what the fight against
Capers will amount to. His friends say
that the worst that can happen will be
an order from Washington requiring him
to take less active part in politics.

Mosweeneys Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Governor McSweeney has issued
the following Thanksgiving procla-
nation:
1t is an old and honored custom
by which tho Chief Magistrate of the
State sets apart one day as a day of
thanksgivinga and praise to the
Source of. all life for His manifold
blessings and fostering care. When
in the enjoyment of health and hap
piness and prosperity we are prone
to forget the sustaining hand through
which these blessings come. AS a
people who have had our trials and
hardships, our days of adversely and
of bitter strife, and through them all
we have triumphed because of our
trust in and reliance on an All-wise
Providence. During the past year
we have enjoyed peace and pros
perity. The labor of the husband
men has been awarded by abundant
harvests and all business has pros
pered. We have been spared pesti-
lence and plague, drought and flood.
In this day of prosperity we should
not forget the source of prosperity
whence it comes. We should as a
people render thanks to God for the
blessings which we. enjoy and in the
midst of material prosperity strive
for moral and spiritual uplifting, for
it is not in material progress and
prosperity that people can claim to
be truly great, or hope to obtain last
ing happiness. The greatness of
people rests in the character of the
individual citizen, and this character
is built upon deeds which glorify
God and help lift up and bless our
fellow-men. In no way can we bet
ter show our appreciation of the
kindness and the forbearance of our
Heavenly Father than by doing our
duty to Him, to ourselves and to our
fellow-man.
Now, therefore, /, M. B. McSwee-
ney, Governor of the State of South
Carolina, do set apart Thursday, the
9th day of the present month, as a
day of general thanksgiving, and do
recommend that public offices be
closed and that the people cease
from their ordinary vocations and in
their homes and several places of
worship render thanks to. God for
the blessings which they have en-
joyed during the past year, and on
this occasion they remember the poor
and the sorrowing by their gifts and
their prayers of sympathy.

Molineaux Acquitted.

New York, November 11.-Roland
B. Molineaux, who has been on trial
for the murder of Mrs. Adams, was
to-day acquitted and the noted trial
has ended. The jury remained out
only twenty-five minutes, and when
their verdict was read there was
great demonstration of Joy in the
court room. Molineaux and his
father at once drove home to meet
his mother. Molineaux was charged
with causing the death of Mrs.
Adams, woman with whom it was
alleged that he had been unduly
familiar, by sending her a box of
poisoned candy. The crime was COM
mitted more than three years ago.
Molineaux was tried and after long
and sensational trial, lasting more
than six weeks, he was convicted
and sentenced to the death chair.
His lawyers, however, took an appeal
and secured new trial, which has
been going on for the past two
weeks. The case has become one of
the most famous in the criminal his
tory of the country and the outcome
has been eagerly awaited. There was
no direct evidence against Molineaux
and the case hinged largely on the
testimony of experts in handwritings.
TOTAL COST OF TIE TRIAL.
New York, November 12.-It has
been estimated that the trial of
Roland B. Molineaux has cost more
than any other for capital offense
in any country where the English
system of Jurisprudence is in vogue.
The cost to the county of New York
in the first trial amounted to $780,
600. This was expended in various
directions, largely in fees for hand
writing experts who were brought
from distant States, and for detec-
tives who endeavored to trace
Molineaux's movements to the time
of his arrest. The defense expended
about $4,000 in the first trial, and
it is estimated that the total on both
sides for the two hearings will foot
up nearly 100000.
