Columbia, Oct. S.-Governor Hey
ward today pardoned j. ". Bedford,
convicted in Williamsburg County, at
the April terra Of Court this year, OF
manslaughter and sentenced tc serve
6ye years in the State Penitentsa-y.
The circumtances connected with this
case are quite peculiar. The man was
convicted of killing his own son. A
number of negroes got into row. and
Bedford accidentally killed his own
son. The application for his pardon
received the endorsement of all the
county officials of Williamsburg, also
the Legislative delegation. DR.. Har-
man. the resident physician Of the
Penitentiary, also wrote the Governor
that the man was suffering from heart
disease, which was incarable and re-
commended that pardon be granted.
Under the existing circumstances So
licitor Wilson asked Governor Hey
wssrd TO grant an immediate pardon to
Bedford.

RAPE FIEHD IN ORAHGEBuRG.

Columbia Oct. II.-Wm. Jones,
colored, was brought here from Orange
burg last night and was placed in The
penitentiary for safe keeping. Friday
night he was caught in the act of at
tempting an assault upon l0-year-old
child in the hotel at Orangeburg.
The father of the little girl pursued
the negro, who escaped at the time,
bat was caught yesterday and turned
ever to the sheriff by the father who
declared that it would do violence to
his religious principles to have the ne
gro dealt with outside of the courts Of
the Law, and it was thought hat the
negro could be tried in court yester-
day, but the grand Jury Of Orangeburg
had been dismissed. Mr.. P. T. Hide
brand the solicitor, informed Gov. Hey
ward by phone, and in less than 10
minutes a special terna had been ar
ranged.
The BerkeleyFcoart, which convenes
Monday. Will finish it's calendar by
Wednesday, and the solicitor will then
be at liberty. He asked that special
term of court for Orangebarg be fixed
for Friday of this week with ex-Judge
Izlar presiding.
Z Chief Justice Pope was communi-
ciated with by phone, and the special
term Of court was ordered. lin the af-
ternoon the solicitor wired that all was
quiet. Sheriff Dukes seems to have
suspected something, for he sent the
prisner to Columbia last night, slip
ping him ia over the Coast Line by

Effort to Slaughter a Train Load
of People on the Southern Near
DanviIIe, Va.

Danville, Va, Oct, ia bold at
tempt was made this afternoon to
wreck passenger train No. on the
Norfolk division of the Southern
about three miles east of this city.
The track had been piled with cross
ties and fish plate. The train was
RAINING at very slow rate of speed
and but for this fact disastrous
wreck undoubtedly would have oc-
cured. The obstruction was plaoed at
the end of high trestle snd the disas-
ter of three weeks ago would have been
duplicated. Fortunately the track
was straight at this point and tire en-
gineer got his train down to such a
speed that when he struck the ties no
damage resulted. This train from
Norfolk is usually late and had it been
so this afternoon would have reached
this point after dark. It is supposed
the wreckers knew of this when they
placed the distractions On the track.
There is strong opinoin that there is
a gang of train wreckers in this locala-
ty and it has been an open secret that
the RAILROAD company believe the wreck
of No. 81 here three weeks ago was
caused by an obstruction placed on the
track at the bridge. The attempt this
afternoon gives color to the theory.

AN UNJUST Law.
Attorney General Gunter Decides
That Children
May attend School Districts Where They
Do Not Reside.

Columbia, Oct. 9.-Attorney General
Gunter rendered an important opinion
this morning, at the request of Super
intendent of Education 0. B. Martin,
regarding the attendance of school
children, who live in one district and
who attend school in an adjoining
district, where, perhaps, special tax
levy has been placed for school pur-
poses. The opinion reads as follows:
In your communication Of the 9Th
instant, you request to be advised
upon the following statement:
GA school trustee desires to be ad-
vised upon the following point: A pa
tron of an adjoining district, who
lives two miles from the district line,
has transferred his children to the
school of the aforesaid trustee. The
district in which the trustee resides
has special levy of three mills in
addition to the regular source Of in
icome. The adjoining district has no
special levy. Is it legal for the chill
dren of said parent to be transferred
and receive the benefit Of the special
levy, regardless of the wishes Of the
trustees Of the special tax district"
tSection tl,214. When it shall so
happen that persons are so situated as
to be. better accommodated at the
school of an adjoining district, wheth-
er special or otherwise, the board Of
trustees of the school district in which
such person resides may transfer such
persons for education to the school dis
tict in which such school is located
;and the trustees Of the school dis
trict where the school is located shall
receive such persons into the school as
though they resided within the dis
trict: Provided, that children shall
not be transferred from school dis
trict in one county to school district
in an adjoining county withuot the
consent Of the board Of education of
the respective counties in which the
transfer is made: Provided, further,
that if any taxpayer pays taxes in two
or more counties he shall have the
right to send his children to the
school Of any of the said counties.
This is the only law that / can find
that applies to the proposition present
ed land from this provision it is mani
fest that persons so situated as to be
better accommodated at the school of
an adjoining school district, whether
special or otherwise, can be transferred
to the board of trustees of the district
in which such persons reside, regard
less of the distance of the school house
or the tax levy or any other condition
of either district, such action being
limited only by the condition that
such person must be SO situated as to
be better accommodated, and this con-
dition is determined by the board OF
trustees from which the persons are to
be transferred, it being mandatory that
the trustees of the adjoining district
shall receive such persons.

REVENUE OFFICER SEXES BOX CAR.

The car and carload of liquor seized
in this city yesterday afternoon will be
the last shipment of that kind sent
into the State. The incident is one o.
great significance.
Heretofore the seizures have affect
ed the contents only. The confscation
of yesterday includes freight car val
ued at 81, 500 or So, 600. The railroad
companies cannot afford to accept con-
signments when they themselves are
subjected to the probability of such
heavy financial loss. It is regarded
by the revenue and the dispensary
officials as the most significant seizure
since the dispensary law went into
effect.
1t was stated last night that the
chief deputy collector, Mr.. Geo. Il.
Higgins, who made the seizure, had
heard of the consignment having been
made and pending the arrival of the
car he received full authority from the
treasury department to seize car and
contents.
The car is or was the property of the
Southern Railroad, freight car No.
81, 532, and is worth not less than
50. 500. It is now in the possession Of
the government and it is not known
what disposition will be made OF it.
The whiskey alone is valued at not less
than $500. There we're 12 barrels of
As gallons each, and kegs Of gallons
each, the whole making $50 gallons.
The government should have gotten
81. 10 per gallon revenue and will ad-
vertise the liquor to be sold at not less
than that price. None. OF the kegs or
barrels were stamped or marked, and
this is considered prima facie evidence
that it is contraband, for every pack
age of over five gallons must be
stamped and marked.
The collectors Office in some way
got wind Of the fact that carload of
liquor was en- route from Statesville,
consigned from "W. S. M" to W. T.
Martin. The later disclaims any con-
nection with the maatter and it is said
that his name was used by some party
whose identity is not definitely known.
This is said to be common practice
with parties ordering liquor for illicit
| purposes.
When Mr.. Higgins representing
the federal government, arrived upon
he scene, be found dispensary consta-
bles camped around the car, for they,
too, seem to have sources Of informa-
tion as to the transportation of liquor,
car having been chased all the way
through South Carolina to Savannah
| recently and there was seized by the
federal government. Mr.. Higgins
placed his hand upon the car and made
| constructive seizure, putting seal Of
the government upon the door. This
was all that was necessary as the agent,
Mr.. D. L. Bryan, admitted the con-
structive seizure and it is not the poll.
cy of the government to lock car tc
the tracks when such action would in
terfere with the service of the road
unless the seizure should be resisted.
The confscation of the car was made
under authority Of Sec. 345 of the re-
vised statutes of the United States
which declare that the vehicle Of tran
sportation is subject to forfeiture.
"This means the death knell Of the
shipment of contraband into the State
in such immense quantities, I" said an
official last night.-Columbia State,

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked--in what
way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic
and liver pills ? Our answer is-they are
easier and more pleasant to take and their
effect is so gentle and so agreeable that
one hardly realizes that it is produced by
medicine. Then they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and aid
the digestion. For sale at 25 cents per
