TSe OflniuncriOuS,

D. F. Brady, president of the Iowa
college, submits to an Iowa paper two
questions, as follows: l. II Judge
may enjoin union labor from ordering
strike, why may he not upon appli-
cation enjoin capitalists against ceduc-
tion of wages, or other acts alleged to
be oppressive to labor: , lfit is good
law for United States courts to inter
vene in behalf Of interstate railroads
why is it not good law for the same
courts to redress grievan ;es of employ
es engaged in interstate commerce:
The Sioux City Journal in reply to
these questions says that the obvious
answer in both queries is that an in
junction in one case would be just as
logical as in the other" And yet we
do not recall an instance where a fed
eral judge has applied the writ of in
junction in this way to corporations

4 SERIOUS MATTER
To The Dispensary Regarding seiz-S:
ures of Contraband Liquor.
cLA1Ms OF REVENUE OFFICERS.
Over Half Of the Confscated Prop
erty is Taken by the Repre-
sentatives Of the Federal
Government.

The Columbia State says dispensary
officials are wondering what will be
the result Of the contention between
the State Of South Carolina and the
federal government in regard to the
Seizure of packages Of contraband
liquor. If the matter is allowed to
run on as it is now, the State will lose
over so per cent. Of the liquor seized
by the constables. In the month Of
February, out OF the seizures made by
the conStables, 5000 worth OF liquor
was afterwards taken by the repre-
sentatiyes of the federal government.
Mr.. Fl. n. Crum, the commissioner
of the State dispensary, Wednesday
explained the situation to a reporter
of The State. Up to the time when
Maj. jenkins became collector Of GUS
toms, Mr.. Crum had he'd an agreement
with the federal officials to the effect:
that the State was to be allowed to-
keep all liquor seized by the constab1eS
unless the liquors 50 seized were evi-s
dently sold in violation Of the United:
States revenue laws.
But under a recent ruling the gov
ernment's gauger at the dispensary,
Mr.. a. S. Trumbe, is ordered to in-2
spect every package shipped in by the
.constables and to seize all such as have
not the names Of well known and rep
utable dealers as the parties from
whom the stuff had been obtained.
Mr.. Crum thinks this has been very
arbitrary position for the federal au-
thorities to take-for it throws the
burden of proof on the State, when:
the State is not interested in forster
ing violators Of the revenue laws, but
is endeavoring to break up the opera
tions of law breakers.
During the month Of January the,
federal government, through its
agents, relieved~the State dispensary
of $500 worth Of contraband, Tor the;
State could not, under the ruling of
the department., prove its own right
to the packages 10 February the
value of stuff turned over to the.
revenue officers was even more than
in the month preceding. II this is
kept up it will become a great hard:
ship on the dispensary system, for not
only does the dispensary lose the pack
ages, but is not reimbursed for the;
express charges paid on theS seized:
liquors from the point Of seizure 10.
the State dispensary; and furthermore;
the State is but hiring constabulary
to work for the government.
The constabulary has for the past
few years paid its expenses out OF the
value Of the contraband turned into
the big vats at the State dispensa7J,,
but the proportion Of stuff taken By
the federal officers is so per cent. OF
the whole amount seized. The attor-;
ney generals Office is urging Crum's
claim for the return Of the liquors
taken from the State By the revenue
officials. The dispensary comnis-
sioner does not censure Maj. jenkins,
but says the latter is doing right to
enforce the orders of the treasury de-,
partment.

A Marvelous Child.

The London Daily News tells about
the most precocious child that ever
lived. His name was Chrlstla n
Heinecker and he was born at Lubbock,
1872 years ago. At the age of ten
months be could repeat any word that
was said to him: when twelve months
old he knew by heart the principa
events narrated in the Pentateuch,
and in his second year he learned to
repeat the greater part of the OLD and
New Testaments. In his ghird year
be seems to have known rather more
history and geography than an average
cabinet minister and before he was
four he was well read in church history
and theology. 1t was at this tender
age that Christian went to the Court
OF Denmark, where be was hailed as a
wonder. On his return home writing
lessons commenced, but this ordeal
was too much for him and at the age
of four and half years he died.

Quick Justice.

Cable dispatches told not long ago
how the Ameer Of Afghanistan by a
stroke of bis pen cut down the harems
of his subjects to four wives each. He
has been administering some very
swift justice, too. Not long ago a
meat-seller in kabul abused another
man and taunted him about his re-
ligion. The offender was brought be-
fore the ameer who straightway SEN
fenced him to be blown from the
mouth Of a cannon, which was done as
soon as a nearby cannon could be load
ed. The same day four well-knoWn
robbers were brought before him. He
had them put into iron cages and
hung up in four prominent thorough
fares as warning and at last account
they-or what is left Of them-Were
still there.

unnannerliness which threatened to
cheat US of our high guest. Now we

velt and are cooking fine dinners for
Tillman. So wags the world"

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
BY Which Two Men Are Killed by an
Automobile.

Count Elliot Zborowski Of New York
was killed WedneSay in an automobile
hill climbing race between Nice and
La Turbie in France His chaffeur,
Baron de Pallange, was seriously in
jured. The accident occurred during
one of the trials along what is known
as the corniche stretch. Just at the
moment the vehicle reached an abrupt
angle the car struck small rock in
the pathway. causing a sudden swerve
which precipitated the two men
against wall. Zborowski appears to
have struck headfrst, as bis skull was
smashed in by the violence Of the
shock. Although the baron was also
hurled against the wall he did not
strike on his head. The body Of Count
Zborowski was brought to the chapel
of his chateau here and his wife was
notified. When she arrived at the
chapel an affecting scene took place.
The trip Wednesday was the first
Zborowski had made over the route
and he was not acquainted with its
dangers. His machine was going at
a speed of 80 kilometres an hour at
the time Of the accident.
Baron de Pallange, who acted as
Count Ziborowski's chaffeur, died
Wednesday night Of the injuries he re-
ceived when he was thrown from the
car. The witnesses Of the start OF
the race say that ZboroWSki showed
considerable nervousness while await
ing his turn. Inprudently, he wore
white kid gloves, which prevented
him from having a firm grasp of the
break. At the signal to 90, he start
ed at half speed, which was. soon in
creased to full speed. The accident
occurred at the first turning Of the
road. The shock was terrific and
Zborowski was shot from his car and
struck the wall beside the road with
his head about six feet from the
ground. lie fell to the ground dead
his arms outstretched. Baron de
Pallange was thrown to the left.
At the same instant that Count
Zborowski and Baron de Pallenge met
their death, another accident occurred
at another point on the read. The
chain of Baron GasteuX's automobile
broke and the car was overturned
against the rocks. The baron and his
chafeur were thrown out, but both
escaped with severe bruises.

a few weeks ago a teacher in
school in Spartanburg County shot
and killed one of his pupils, and on
last Thursday a pupil in a school at
Lawdesville in Anderson County shot
and dangerously wounded the princi-
pal of the school. a dispatch from
Anderson to The States gives the
particulars of the unfortunate affair.
The teacher, Mr.. J. F. Harper, who
is the principal of the school at
Lawdesyille, was shot twice by a
pupil named James Latimer. 1t seems
that the teacher had police that some
of the large boys were going to absent
themselves from school Wednesday on
account Of it being AL Fools day and
warned them not to do so.
The boys stayed away from school
as they had threatened and Thursday
afternoon the teacher kept them in
after school to punish them. He be-
gan on James Latimer, a boy OF II
years, and Latimer produced rod of
iron from his clothing and began to
resist. This was taken away from
him, when he pulled Smith s Wes-
son pistol and opened tire on the
teacher.
The first shot hit button on Mr..
Harper's coat and the bullet and but
ton both penetrated the flesh. Then
second shot was fired which struck
rib inhicting flesh wound. ltwas
thought that Harper was mortallyhurt
but the physicians say that his wounds
are not serious. Latimer fled. Young
Latimer is a son Mr.. J. T. Latimer,
a prominent merchant OF LawdeSville
and nephew Of Senator Latimer-~Four
or five boys Of about the same age
were implicated in the affair.

pears in the following in the New York
Sun Of Tuesday:
Supreme Court Justice MacLear
refused Thursday tc annul the mar
riage Of Miss Eliza Herman Wlckes
a niece Of Augustus Van Wyck anc
ex-Mayor Van Wyck, to Capt A
y. Freeland, otherwise known as Mel.

her home. She was impressed by bis
appearance Of wealth and respectable
ty and his own representations con-
cerning his antecedents. They were
married in Grace church a few months
after meeting. Mayor Van Wyck
was at the wedding. Rumors concern
ing FreelandS past reached Mrs. Free

he found them all well founded. An
interview followed and Freeland disap'
peared. 1t developed that he hao
been a railway roadmaster for years

hypocrite. but do not come within
the provisions Of the law under which
