THE "SrEEDY TRIAL CLAIM.
Mr.. Nelson said Tillman was aux
iouS for a speedy trial and only two
counties were row available-Edge-
tield and Saluda.
Mr. Thurnond spoke Of the incon-
veniences OF Saluda, and suggested
either kerShaw or Lexington. AS to
a speedy trial he said Edgetield Court
would be held the first Monday in
August: Saluda the third, Camden
the first Monday in September ana
Lexington the third.
Mr.. Crawford expressed serious
objections to Saluda because it was
practically the home Of the defendant,
being the county OF which George D..
Ti!!man was the father, and the state
would not have an equal show OF 1alr-
ness there with the defendant.
Col Croft ridiculed the idea that
George D. Tillman's work in behalf OF
Saluda would affect the judgment of
the people. lie made light Of the
fifteen miles OF rocky road the wit

the Court House from the nearest
railroad station, and mentioned four
or five hotels and boarding houses

; LET THE STATE HAVE a CHANCE.
Mr.. Bellinger declared that it would
be wrong to take the case to Saluda,
because it would be taking it to a
county where the State would be at a
great disadvantage. He declared that
the defence could not pretend that
they wanted a speedy trial, because
they had a chance during the last
Court, when the State agreed to ac-
cept any athdavits absent witnesses
might make.

TIE State Of last week says Circuit
Attorney Folk has tabulated a state
ment Of the amounts demanded by
legislators for the passage or defeat OF
measures pending before the Missouri
general assembly. The aggregate is
s32l,3 300. The largest contributor to
the "grafters" was the St. Louis
Transit company, which was assessed
and which paid $50. 600. Addition to
this Mr.. Folk finds that 1920, 500 has
been received by legislators in cash
bribes. There have been many jobs
not yet exposed.

there is a reasonable doubt that
a fair trial cannot be had. To say

COL. MCCLURE ON THE NEGRO

New ORLEANS, Feb. 21.
Especial .)-Col. A. K. Nc
Clure of Philadelphia, in an
address before the Progress
i've Union today on the negro
question, said that the North
ern States and the Northern
people should keep their
hands off and permit the
Southern States to settle the
race problem in their own
way.
"The first annulment of
universal suffrage was made
in the District of Colum bia, :"
he said. "They did not wait
here in some of the Southern
States, until you were strip

derstand that people of the

it will de solved with due re-
gard to the interests of the

is the last question left, and
apparently whenever a politi-
clan has exhausted all of his
other political assets he starts
anew on the question of dis
tranchisement of the negro. "

THE Obion Democrat says:
"Several State papers are
agitating the question of
doing away with the present
County Court system. There
is no doubt that under the
rule now in force the business
of the county is more or less
retarded and burdensome and
the cost to taxpayers unneces-
sarily large. A board of five
commissioners could do the
work with much more expe-
dition than thirty or forty
Magistrates, and cost to the
county would be reduced no
uncomfortable amount"

A Disgraceful Record.

Rev. DR.. Eaton, a Baptist
minister of Louisville, declar-
ed In a recent sermon that
"the penalty for murder in
this city is only $500" He
added: "With that amount
of money a murderer can get
off scot free. The low bail
fixed for murderers here is
ridiculous. Life is held too
lightly. [ do not think a man
could be convicted of murder
in Kentucky and sentenced
to death if he wanted to be.
In order to get the death pen
atty it would be necessary
for him to 60 to shrewd
criminal lawyer and find the
exact way to commit the muir

Commenting on this state
ment, the Charleston News
and Courier says: ''And yet
Kentucky is not much, if any
worse than South Carolina.
The cheapest thing in this
State, as we have said, is hu-
man life, and the safest crime
is the crime of homicide.
How to cure the evil we con-
fess ourselves unable to sug-
gest. That it will be correct

from a Middle Tennessee
town, in which it was stated
that a man who had attacked
a policeman who was sitting
down beat him to death be-
cause the officer had previous
ly arrested him for immoral
conduct, had been sentenced
to five years in the penitenti-
airy. Five years for an aggra-
waited murder! In another
case, nearer home, a man who
had d deliberately waylaid and
assassinated a citizen on the
highway, was acquitted by "a
jury of his peers" Many in
stances might be cited sho W.

Senator Baldwin agreed that il was
the best disposition to be made of the
bill. and stated that the ways and
means committee, of which he was
chairman, intended to get all possible
data as to revenue and what tax would
be necessary LAS soon as it is set
tied" said he, what extra revenue viii
be required in order to carry out the
provisions of the county bill, we VIII
decide what taxes are needed. We
can't tell what revenues will be nee
essary under the county bill until We
know in what form it is to be passed,
salaries etc. AS the bill now STANDS
each county is to collect it's own taxes
and a portion is to be turned over to
the Territory. a portion to be retained
also by the county. I think the proper
course is not to print the DILL put

on ways and means"
Senator Kalauokalani replied that he
had brought up the bill for the purpose
of finding out how to raise the revenue
needed under the county government
He said other people raised taxes
among themselves, and he didn't believe
the government should go out to Dor
row money. If his bill made the taxes
too heavy he was willing to have it
amended so as to make the rate IA
IL or l per cent. His other bill was to
exempt property owners up to $1,000,
and he didn't believe $500 was suff1-
cient
The bill passed its first reading,
without reference.

and It was read for the first time by

mittee.
THE FISH QUESTION.
Senator Wilcox gave notice of an act
to prohibit the use of cast or throw
nets in taking fish from the waters Of
the Territory, and it was given its
first reading. The bill provides for
fine of from $25 to $500 for violations,
or imprisonment up to three months.
Senator KalauokaIani objected to the
bill stating that the same subjects
were covered by Senate Bill No. IL. the.
Isenberg bill, and there was no neces-
sity for going to the expense of print
ing and translating. He said that
fishing with net was a detriment. but
did not believe that two bills were re-
quired to remedy the difficulty. He
afterwards withdrew his objection.
Senator ]. T. Brown said he agreed
with Wilcox, and that the use OF nets
in fishing should be entirely prohibited,
and thought that this bill was more
extensive and better than the one in
troduced by Isenberg.
Senator Wilcox said that his bill
had been misunderstood. that 1t simply
prohibited the use of throw nets, which
he said had ruined the Island fisheries
The bill had been forwarded to him by
parties on Kauai, and he believed such
a law was needed. These nets had
been used in his fish pond, and had
destroyed the fishing entirely. Now
the nets were no longer permitted, and
fish could be caught in the ordinary
nets. He said that Japs were the chief
offenders The bill passed its first
reading.
Senator c. Brown apologized for fail
ing . keep an appointment with the
county committee on Tuesday. and
called another meeting for yesterday
The Senate adjourned at 1870 until
