Father Claims Reward for Son.

Rochelle, Ca, October 19.-The father
of Tom Caruthers, who is under sentence
has made application for the reward
offered for the capture of theyouth.
The negro was sentenced to hang on
October 10. He escaped, but was after
wards arrested at Hawkinsville A re-
ward of $3.50 had been offered for him
in the meantime. Now the negro's
father is applying for the reward, The
sheriff of Pulaski thinks the father is
entitled to 1t, as the. old man gave the
officers the information that led to the
arrest of the youth. The idea the old
negro had was that the boy was fugi-
tive from justice, and was about to
starve to death, and it would be better
for him to be put to trial even If he had
to hang. The old negro thought hang
ing could not be as bad as starving.

Editor In Court.

Editor j. w. Shelor, of the Keowee
Courier, Walhalla, S. c., was among the
attorneys in Court last week, and during
his stay in town he made call at the
Press and Banner office, where he was
gladly welcomed. The Keowee Courier
is one of the best newspapers In the
State, but we told him that we had been
thinking of calling on the Courier and
the Bamberg Herald TO account for the
frequent absence of editorials in these
papers. The Bamberg Herald and The
Keowee Courier are first class when they
have editorials. And editors who can
furnish as good editorials as these papers
often contain should be called to the bar
of the State Press Association to account
for omissions. .-Abbeville Press and Ban

TiIIman Verdict Trayesty on Justice.

The papers of the State and the coun-

man verdict travesty on Justice. There
is no remedy for it now, but the good
name and reputation of the State have
been brought into great disrepute. 1t
must be remembered, however, that the
verdict of the Lexington jury does not
express tho real sentiment of the people

Condemned from the puIpH.

There were two strong expres.
sions on the result of the Tillman
trial from the pulpit in Yorkville
last Sunday. One came from Rev.
j. L. Stokes, of the Methodist
church, and the other from Rev. w.
G. Neville, of the Presbyterian
church.
Rev. DR.. Stokes preached to the
Associate Reformed congregation in
the morning and to his own coDgre-
cation in the evening. Both SER
vices were prcfaced by the following
statement:
"Under a strong sense of duty, as
a citizen, a Christian, and a Chris
tian minister, | wish to say word
about the miscarriage of justice in
Lexington last week. I read the
evidence with the greatest care, and
am prepared to say, with thousands
all over South Carolina, that sthe
verdict of the jury is not the verdict
of the people, whom they were sup.
posed to represent. 1t is no time
to keep silence. Every good man
every lover of law and order, should
speak out at once to say that there
has been no vindication in the larger
higher court of public opinion, and
to demonstrate that the dead editors
championship of righteousness and
decency has not been in vain.
Mr.. Neville took occasion TO refer
to the verdict on Sunday night. His
remarks were as follows:
"Before we close these services,
wish to lift up my voice against 8
certain verdict which has recently
been rendered in our State. l do
this first, on account of the promi-
nence of this case, and, secondly, on
account of it's character. 1t is pain.
full for me to speak of such things
from the pulpit, and 1 do it only
from sense of duty. l do it in the
fear of God, without fearing any
man.. | do not expect to deal in
personalities but there are persons
connected with practical case like
this which cannot be eliminated from
it in our condemnation of it. We
must let the responsibility fall where
it belongs. In what l shall say,
trust am actuated by the same mo.
tives which actuated John the Bap.
tist when he denounced Herod fol
committing an atrOcious crime
against society, and / stand upon the
same ground which this eminent SER
want of God stood upon. The voice
of every person who loves truth and
justice and righteousness ought to be
raised against this verdict.
This verdict is an outrage on JUS
tice and truth, travesty on law and
righteousness, disgrace to our State
and civilization. 1t is triumph OF
corruption and iniquity. But let us
hope that this triumph will be only
temporary and let us pray and
work for the reign of righteousness
and truth and law and order in our
beloved commonwealth. If this case
is to be taken as precedent for the
future, there need be no more trials
for murder.-Yorkville Enquirer.

May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can"
There is a great deal of talk just
now about compulsory education. II
we are to use the drunken fathers
money to prolong our schools, l am
strongly in favor of compulsory edu-
cation. Most people, am pleased
to say, know the great importance OF
it and are sending their children to
school every day possible. But there
are some people who are uneducated
themselves and who have never
learned the Importance of it, and are,
therefore, blind to its necessity, and
refuse to send their children to
school, thereby cheating them out OF
that which is rightfully due them
James III. Carlisle, that staunch friend
of education, says "The law can
force parents to send their children
to school. Teachers may be forced
to give certain lessons to pupils, who
can be forced to get them" Yes,
give us compulsory education, and
lets have it early.
Now, just word in regard to
teachers. Most country children
have, at best, but limited schooling,
and should therefore have the advan-
tage of good teachers. A teacher
should be thoroughly prepared for
his work. He should be a constant
student of human nature, and should
have nothing else in view for life

monies-A Lamb from Egypt
Not Sacrificed.

ST. LOUIS, July ia plot of ground
consisting of ten acres, on a hill at the
worlds fair, was formally dedicated late
to-day as the site for the replica of the
city Of jerusalem. The dedication cere-
monies were conducted by about fifty ma
tives from Jerusalem. and fully 10000 per-
sons witnessed the Oriental rites and cere-
monies
The opening address of the occasion was
made by United States Senator Burton of
Kansas. He was followed by President
David r. Francis and Director of Works
Isaac C. Taylor.
At the laying of the cornerstone and the
Oriental ceremonies of dedication Mrs Ly-
dia NJ. Won Finkelstein Mountford. a ma
tive Of Jerusalem, presided. AS the cere-
monies proceeded in Hebrew and Arabic
she interpreted in English. The fifty ma
tives from Palestine all wore Oriental cos
tunes. A large and magnifcently en-
broidered tent from Egypt sheltered the
participants, and when all was ready ten
patriarchs, representing the ten tribes of
Israel, came forth, each bearing long
scroll containing the Mosaic laws. They
were followed by two priests, who acted
as readers of the scrolls. Judges and elders
followed on richly capariSoned mules. In
the refine were camels laden with stones
for the building, asses bearing burdens of
earth, stonecutters, those who mixed NOR
TAR ana eartn IN baskets, IaDOrerS ana
water-carriers and the wise master build
err"
A sacrifcial lamb. brought from Egypt
for the purpose was led forth. Salt was
sprinkled over the participants and I'M
leavened bread was distributed. Then came
the pasha, cadi, mutt katib scribe and
interpreter; Imam, Rails ii Baladec and
slave attendants, watchmen, singers and
players on stringed instruments.
The cornerstone was laid with a cere-
mony that occupied thirty minutes. 1t was
then sprinlIled with oil, salt and incense,
and was to have been sprinkled with blood
from the slaughtered lamb but, popular
feeling being against the staying of the
lamb. the motions of killing it were gone
through with and the lamb was not killed.
The ceremony was concluded with songs
music, and all the people shouted with a
great shout"
1t is estimated that the erection of Je-
ruSalem will cost 81, 100000.

ROCK ISLAND WITHDRAWS
SERIOUS LOSS TO THE WESTERN
PASSENGER ASSOCIATION.
Unpaid Rebates Held by the Mileage
Bureau Demanded-Plans of the
Grand Trunk Road.

CHICAGO, July II. - Another step was
taken to-day in a contest now being waged
between the Rock Island road and a num-
Der of its competitors over the question of
interchangeable mileage, when that road
filed notice of withdrawal of membership
in the individual mileage bureau of the
Western roads. Notice was also given that
on and after Sept. L. the edate on which
two of the other roads have given notice
to change the form of interchangeable
mileage used on their lines, it will pay the
rebates on the individual mileage books
used on its own lines. Furthermore it has
asked for an accounting with the bureau
to determine what portion of unpaid re-
bates it is entitled to receive since it with
drew its membership in the Western Pas
Senger Association.
The withdrawal of the Rock Island will be
a serious loss to the association, as it's I'M
paid rebates amount to somewhere from
$4,000 to 100000 year. which is almost
sufficient TO pay the entire expenses Of the
association and it's bureaus.
