300 men in front Of Judge Carpenters
house last night. martin was trnsty
in the county Jail He attacked a
white girl, Della Grouse. in the jail
kitchen and slashed her face and arms
with a knife. One man was injured
while entering the Jail to drag out the
prisoner.
After assaulting Miss Grouse with
a razor Martin was placed in cell in
the county jail. The first intimation
that Sheriff Cook had of the contem-
plated lynching was when two masked
men appeared in the kitchen OF the
Jail house and with guns leveled at
him, told him that there were zoo
men waiting outside for the negro and
that he had better not attempt &c
make any trouble for them.

TaE MATTER OF WORLD POWER.

Nothing in Judge Parker's speech
of acceptance has disturbed the Repub-
licans campaign managers as much
as his declaration that this country
has. been world power for a hundred
years, and was recognized ny the civ
ilized world, but that until recently
the authorities had too much good
sense and patriotism to jeopardize the
peace and material interest of the
country by involving us in all sorts OF
international complications. Other
features of the admirable address gave
them concern, but that one caused con-
sternation, not because it is any more
accurate and timely than the others,
but for the reason that it is calculated
to invite Investigation and compari-
son.
For half dozen years the Republi-
cans have been constantly boasting
that Mckinley and Roosevelt had
made this country world power. and
that previous to the Spanish war the
governments of Europe paid no atten-
ton to the United States in shaping
and adjusting their affairs. When
Great BRIAN admitted her defeat in
the war of 1872 the potentiality of the
TTnitad States was confessed by that
nation. When in 1928 President Mon
roe admonished the Holy Alliance, y
Austria, Russia, Prussia ind France,
that European interference on this
hemisphere would not be tolerated,
our power was recognized by their
abandonment of purpose already ex-
pressed. When in 1895 President
Cleveland notified Great Britain that
she couldn't despoil Venezuela the
world power force of the United
States vas confessed by that most
powerful of all powers in the instant
abandonment of its project.
The bullies who have been mansg-
ing the Republican party during re-
cent years and controlling the affairs
of the government mistake the signs
il they believe that this country is
more respected now than it was when
the traditional policies of the founders
were in force. It may be more feared,
just as stick of dynamite is regarded
as more dangerous, than locomotive.
Europe is uncertain of Roosevelt and
hatters his vanity to induce him to
behave. But the respect which cones
from admiration for ability and pa
triotism and justice is of. greater ad-
antage and reflects greater credit on
the country than fear that Roosevelt
will touch off a mine or throw a
lighted match into barrel of powder
anyEday. That is the difference be-
tween the present estimate OF this
country abroad and that of previous
vearsy

Why You Should Study Law in the
South Carolina College.

In the frst>place, if you have decid-
ed to practice law in South Carolina,
the advantage of going to the South
Carolina College is conspicuous.
There you will form associations and
ties that will strengthen you through
out the State during your entire life.
Should you wish to enter upon poll
tical life, you will have stauncE
friends in every town and hamlet of
the State-friends in all of the profes-
sions and walks of life, and friends
who arc alive to keen appreciation
of what it is to be true and high
toned politiciar-a politician in truth
and not as the name is now too often,
! with reason, interpreted to signify.
In the second place, Columbia is an
ideal place for law school. 1t is the
capital of the State, and it's central
situation makes it easily accessible
from all parts Of the State. During
the winter students have ample oppor-
tunity of seeing the practical working
of government, legislative, executive,
and judicial. Here are held annual
ly two terms of the Supreme Court,
three terms OF the Circuit Court, and
two terms of the United States Circuit
and District Courts Lectures are de-
livered to the Law Glasses by eminent
members of the bench and bar. Dur
ing the session of 1903-1904 lectures
were delivered in the following order,
by Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary
(two): United States Judge Charles
Fl. Simonton (two); Associate Justice
c. A., Woods, Judge W. c. Benet,
Mr.. Robert ". Shand, Mr.. William
H. Lyles, United States Judge Will
liam H. Brawley, Mr.. j. P. Carey
and Mr.. S. J. Simpson.
In the third place, the Law Fac
nlty is particularly strong. No one
can exponnd the principles of the Law
with greater strength and clearness
than Joseph Daniel Pope, the Dean of
the Law Faculty. Prof. r. Means
Davis dead, alas!) was the clear, for
chile expounder of Constitutional Law,
Constitutional Law Cases, and Inter
national Law. His place will be ably
filled by Prof. Gordon B. Moore, who
comes to the College with widely es-
tablished reputation for great
strength of character, for great mental
ability, and for wonderful success in
teaching. Adjunct Professor NJ. Il.
Moore is a lawyer engaged in active
practice, and brings>to the class daily
his fresh experience from the Office
and the courts. He, too, is an excel
lent teacher, and a man of literary
taste and thorough culture.
Again, the course of study in the
department is full and the opportunity
for parallel reading on the daily lee
lures ample. The College has an ex-
cellent law library, ard the library of
the Supreme Court is close at hand,
and open for use and. since lawyer
must read widely, the general library
of the College-and there is none bet
ter in the Soutb-is of great value
to the law student.
With all of the above-named advan-
tages, law students cannot do better
than to pursue their studies at the
South Carolina College.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, Aug. 30.-The week end
ing 8 a. M, August 29th, had mean
temperature of II degrees, which is
about 3 below normal, due to moder-
ately hot weather the first four Gays and
abnormally cool weather during the
last three. The extremes were min
imum of about so in the western
counties on the 2Stb, and maximum
of SO at three places on the 23rd and
24th. The sunshine was about nor
NAL, although a number of places re-
ported too much cloudiness for crops,
ey having had general cloudiness
;, entire week. A wind storm Going
some damage to trees and crops occur
red in Oconee community, and hail
storm that did little damage in Marf-
boro county. Local high winds did
some damage in a few other places,
but we're confined to very small areas.
The precipitation averaged above
the normal for the week, and was ex-
cessive locally in the western, eastern
and southern counties. There was
least precipitation in the central coun-
ties. A number of places reported the
heaviest rainfall of the season On the
2eth. The weekly amounts ranged
from about half an inch to nearly four
inches. I many places there has been
too much rain for cotton, while in
few, the weeks rainfall Was needed
and was beneficial on all crops.
Farm work made rapid progress
early in the week, but general rain
during the later part brought it to a
stand-still.
Favorable reports on corn continue
from all sections, especially on late
corn which is an exceptionally fine crop
and which is practically MADE. Fod-
der pulling made rapid progress. but
considerable was damaged by the fire.
qI1ent rains.
2 There was no marked change in the
condition of cotton although what
changes took place were generally to-
ward deterioration, owing to con-
tinued shedding, and to further spread
of rust, both apparently due to exces-
sive moisture. In a few localities
boil worms have done considerable
damage. In places over the whole
State, and almost generally over the
western counties and on clay and red
lands, the plants continue to bloom
and fruit freely. Early in the week,
under the stimulus of the high tenn
perature then prevailing, early varie-
ties of cotton opened rapidly in the
eastern, southern and central counties
and considerable was picked in those
sections, while in the western counties
there are as yet few open bo.ls, and
comparatively few full grown ones
Picking Will be general next week in
the eastern half of the State. Sea-
island cotton maintained its very
promising condition.
Early rice is ripening fast, and cut
ting has begun; late rice is heading
nicely. The rice crop is very promis-
ing in the Georgetown district. There
has been too much rain for peas, but
sweet potatoes and gardens, as we'll
as truck generally are doing well.
Haying is under way, but made slow
progress owing to the frequent rains.
The hay crop will be heavy with favo-
gable weather for saving it.
