Gen. Morsan's capsor Dies a. Louisville, Ky.

Col. r. Il. Jacob, picturesque
figure during the Civil War, died re-
Gently at his home in Louisville,
Ky. Colonel Jacob was 7S years
old and was widely known as the
man who saved Kentucky from se-
cession, and also as the oaptor of
Gen. John Morgan.
Colonel Jacobs career began with
a trip across the plains in 1916. He
crossed in time to join Fremont's
command for service during the
Mexican war. Returning to Ken.
tucky he was elected to the Legisla-
ture as a Democrat. The secession
question came before the Legislature
and Colonel Jacob created surprise
by refusing to vote with the Breck-
enridge party, his vote giving a
plurality of one for the Unionists
against secession. When active hos
tilities opened Colonel Jacob organ
lied the Ninth Kentucky (Union)
Cavalry. He participated in the
smashing of Morgan's raid and it
was TO Colonel Jacob and his COM
mand that the Confederate leader
and number of his followers sur
rendered. Near the close of the
war Colonel Jacob became Lieuten-
ant Governor of Kentucky.
Colonel Jacobs wife, Sarah Ben
ton, daughter of Thomas II. Benton,
died many years ago.

When the dispensary law was first
enacted it provided that all the
profits of the business should go to
the public school fund. But it trans
pired that in some counties no dis
pensaries could be established by the
vote of the people, and under the
law these counties shared equally in
the distribution of the profits going
to the public school fund. Political
sagacity, or political trickery, de-
manded that the law be so altered as
to cut these counties out of any
share Of this liquor money an in
duce them to establish dispensaries.
In order to popularize the system, an
appeal was made to the cupidity of
the people by an amendment to the
law fixing the amount of profit to
the State not to exceed ten per cent,
and all the balance of the profits to
be equally divided between the towns
and counties to be used for general
purposes, thus increasing their reve-
nues without additional taxation.

Killing Frosts Sweep Over the West.

Chicago, ILL.,, September 18.-Dis-
patches from western and north
western States report killing frosts
last night over wide area, extend
ing from the Dakotas TO Missouri on
the south and to Minnesota on the
east. Some damage is reported to
the corn crop. In Nebraska, Iowa
and South Dakota corn suffered,
although much of the crop was too
well matured to be destroyed. 1t is
estimated that two-thirds of the
South Dakota crop is safe. The
frost in Nebraska did not do any
serious damage. In Missouri and
Kansas frost is expected. A tenn
perature of 38 to 46 was reported
from ST. Joseph. The temperature
in Chicago tonight is so.

TllIman's Defence Fund.

The Washington correspondent of
the Savannah News writes as follows: |:
One of the Democratic leaders
from South Carolina passed through
Washington this week on his way to
Saratoga for his annual vacation.
He was formerly an anti -Tillmanite
Democrat, but recently he has buried
the hatchet, in an endeavor TO bring
about harmony in the party. Re-
ferring to Senator Tillman's interest
in the coming trial of his nephew,
Jim Tillman, charged with the MUIR
der of the late Editor Gonzales, this
gentleman said:
81 understand the Tillman family
has raised purse of $4,000, to be
expended in an effort to prevent the
conviction of Jim Tillman. The
ablest criminal lawyers in South Caro-
lima are at work on the case, and one
of the number, who has q great repu-
tation as a pleader before jury, has
openly predicted that he will secure
Tillman's acquittal."
The same gentleman related an in
cident to show that Senator Tillman
takes more conservative view of
State politics than he did few years
ago. At recent political gather
ing the subject under consideration
was the adoption of certain party
principles. There were Tillman and
anti-Tillman factions present. One
of Senator Tillman's lieutenants pre-
sented resolution which, to the sur-
prise of Senator Tillman, received
the endorsement of man who had
previously been one of Senator Till
mans most outspoken opponents.
With a tinge of satisfaction and
shadow of sarcasm in his manner,
Senator Tillman expressed his sur
prise that the gentleman from
county could bring himself to sup
port a measure or a proposition
which he (Tillman) favored.
"I have heard the same gentleman
say," continued Senator Tillman,
"that he would rather vote for the
devil than give his sanction to Till
man proposition. Now what puzzles
me is, how can the gentleman be con-
sistent after that declaration, and yet
favor the pending proposition P'
In reply, the gentleman addressed
said: 81 admit that / said I would
vote for the devil before I would
vote for Tillman, and in justification
of my present course desire to state
that you are the nearest approach to
the devil ever expect to see, hence
/ am prepared to vote with you this
time"
This retort convnlsed the conven-
tion with laughter, at the expense of
Senator Tillman. When the latter
could make himself heard, he added,
good-naturedly, with a character
istic shake of his head and arms,
"You're good fellow, and I'm not
going to quarrel with YOU"
The resolution carried, the two
men shook hands, and are now con.
sidered fast friends.

STR|BL|NG & HERNDON,
AttorneyS-At-LaW,
As an Oconee Man Sees II.

Poplar, September 14.-Editors Keo-
wee Courier: Please give me space in
your paper to say word or so to my
brother farmers.
In the first place, there is not near so
much cotton going to be made as the
government report has it, and if we will
put it on the market gradually-not
overrun the market, and bring the price
down some days, and then stop hauling
until it goes up few points, but just
keep few wagons in town-the price
will stay up higher than it is now. The
mills will pay Is cents per pound before
they will stop their machinery, and the
good-hearted merchant will not push us
because he wants us all to pay out If
we have to sell for a low price they may
not get their pay, and The poor editors
and doctors will never geta cent.
wish we had warehouse to store
our cotton in. l tell you the time has
come when the farmers can make an in
dependent living and some clear money
if hej will just stick together and help
each other.
cotton made in the United States as
there was last year, because we have had
more disasters-in some places drouth,
some too wet. In some sections hail and
wind have destroyed a lot; in other
places the heavy rains have ruined the
crops, and now lot of cotton in Oco-
nee county is opening half grown and it
will take three times as many bolls to
make pound as it would if they were
fully matured. just look at Texas for a
fow minutes. She is suffering from the
tap worm, the boil weevil, and my
notion is that if the farmers will just use
n little common sense, judgment and
patience, they can get from IL to Is cents
per pound for every pound of their crop.
So, brother farmers, watch; and when
your neighbor starts to town with load
of cotton you stay at home until the
next day. Don't rush it all off in three
or four weeks. w. Ii. Cole

Negro Defends The Lynehers.

Newark, N. j., September 1s.-At

Union Baptist church, of Mount

clared that the crimes of certain
Southern negroes were such as to call
for the most severe and cruel punish
ment. Rev. r. a. Motley, of Jersey

trouble is that you people here are
fretting yourselves to death about the
negro in the South, while the negro
there is contented and happy"

County oniolal Gone Wrong.

Marion, s. O., September 49,
Within the last few days two war
rants have been sworn out here
against G. Raymond Berry, County
Superintendent of Education, charg-
| ing him with forging the names of
school trustees to school pay certifi-
oates and collecting the money on
them.
The warrants were based on affida-
Wits made by d. p. Mcintyre and E.
v. Moody, school trustees, and were
issued by Magistrate ID. j. Oliver, of
this police. One of the affidavits
alleges that on the Oath day of May,
1908, one g. Raymond Berry, with
intent to swindle and defraud, did
feloniously make, forge and counter
felt the names of Luther Carmichael,
b. A. Harrelson and ID. p. Mcintyre
to certain school pay certificate for
the sum of $3.50. The second
affidavit alleges that on the 9th day
of March, 1908, the names of S. w.
Stephens and e. v. Moody, school
trustees, were forged TO school pay
certificate for the sum of $50.
Although the Sheriff has made
diligent search for Berry he has not
yet been apprehended and it is
thought that he has fled from the
State. The amount of money pro-
cured by the Superintendent of Edu-
cation by these methods is thought
to be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
though the exact amount cannot be
definitely ascertained until full in
vestigation has been nade. His
bond is for $1,000, and his bonds
men are Wilmington Hamilton, III.

The Fifteenth Amendment

Chicago, September 1s.-A dis
patch to the Tribune from Memphis,
Tenn, says:
United States Senator Carmack
explained last night that his purpose
in proposing to introduce bill at
the next session of Congress for the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment,
thus disfranchising the negro, is SIM
ply to open up discussion which
will contribute to "a solution of the
race problem.
To Senator Carmack's mind the
surest plan of solving the negro
question as it affects the white race,
both socially and politically, lies in
the negroes elimination from politics.
Should the fifteenth amendment be
repealed the question of treating
with the negro would be left to the
States.
Another view entertained by Sena-
tor Carmack is for the separation of
the races. But how 20 proceed or
how long it will take he does not at
tempt to say. He believes, however,
that the races would be better con-
ditioned if they were separated. He
believes the black race is failure,
that it owes what little it has
achieved to its association with the
white race.
AS to the enfranchisement of the
negro Immediately after the war be-
tween the States, the Senator re-
CARDS that as mistake, for which
the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment would be only partial repara-
tion.

A Very Timely Comment.

The Raleigh IN. o. Christian Adj
vocate makes this very timely com
ment: "The preacher who denounces,
as he should, the sin of worldliness
manifested in dancing, theatre going
and gambling, certainly vitiates the
effect by saying nothing concerning
the disregard of financial obligations
and economic tyranny, all of which
are worse, if sin can be graded, than
dancing and theatre going. We
have known men to talk in sepul-
chral Mortified tones Of the Christ
mas giddiness of the gay young
things and at the same time dodge a
grocery store where an unpaid, un-
recognized grocery bill stared them
in the face. There are pious women
who frown at the young people talk
ing in church and at the same time
talk neighbours good name into
blisters. Here is a call for the pulpit
to exercise some of it's wise special
izing functions"
