THE Spartanburg Journal of We'd
nesday has a half column reply to the
complaint THE ENQUIRER made
against it for reproducing as tele-
graphic news a campaign canard that
was evidently clipped from some irres-
ponsible Republican organ. In the
course of it's editorial, our contempora-
ry virtually admits the truth Of our
charge; but undertakes to defend it
self with the explanation that every
body knows that Taggart has been
discredited as the real leader of the
Democratic party, fact which nobody
seeks to deny; but which does not
touch the point. Had the Journal re-
produced what THE ENQUIRER said, its
readers would have understood that
our complaint was against its state
ment of the reason for Taggart's dis
position. Our contemporary claimed
that this situation was brought about
by the failure of scheme Of TaggartS
to bring Cleveland and Bryan together
on the same platform, while the prin-
cipal objection that we urged to the
story was our doubt as to whether it
had the slightest foundation in fact.
If the Journal is really Independent as
1t claims we admire it more than 9TH
erwise; but when it goes out Of it's way

in need Of a street sprinkler. The city
was never at any time during the
summer as dry and dusty as at the
present time.
Some linemen who were engaged in
stringing some electric light wires
yesterday afternoon, let a live wire
come in contact with telephone wire
causing the bells Of a number OF
phones in the city to ring rapidly and
continuously for about five minutes.
Several phones were burned out,
some Of the batteries exploding. Sew
eral persons who attempted to answer
what they supposed to be call, re-
ceived very severe shocks and for
time there was no little excitement
over the matter, until the cause OF the
trouble was learned. The fire depart
ment was called out in the mean time,
but their services were not needed.
The Southern Express company
now have their new express wagon on
the streets for the collection and de-
livery Of express packages and our
people are very much pleased with the
improved service.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Sykes have
child very i'll with dysentery.
Mr.. Alva Westerlund has also been
very low the past week. Mrs. West
erlund is just recovering from an at
tack Of typhoid fever.

ened his pace. At this the sheriff in
creased his speed to a trot; but the
negro broke into a run. The other ne
groes Joined in the chase; but Will
liams had a good start and was able
to hold his own.
Messrs ]. w. Snider and L. G. Fer
guson happened to be at the point
where the c. & NV. railroad crosses
East Jefferson street when Williams
reached there and they undertook to
head him off.
Throwing his right hand to his hip
pocket, Williams shouted: IF you get
into my way I am going to kill YOU"
Neither Mr.. Ferguson or Mr.. Snider
had weapon, and they wisely stepped
aside.
The negroes who had originally join
ed in the chase kept on the trail Of
Williams for some time; but whenever
they began to press him too close, he
would throw his hand to his hip pock-
ct, and his pursuers would slacken
their speed.
Along about II o'clock, the sheriff
was notified that Williams had been
located in a house on the outskirts.
He hurried to the scene and for a
while thought he had the fellow sur
rounded; but as the party closed in on
the spot where the fugitive was sup
posed to be 1t developed that he had
again slipped away.
The only sign that was left Of the
hunted man were his tracks and these
were quite plain. The sheriff sent
for his bloodhound. The dog was able
to follow the tracks for about mile;
but finally lost them.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The long drouth was broken yester-
day by light shower. There was
wind, thunder and lightning and for
time it looked as II there would be a
heavy storm. So far as has been re-
ported there was no serious damage.
The publishers of the beautiful bal
lad, II Wait Alone For You," by the
late w. Wesley Wells, have sent US
copy of his last song, my Mercedes"
which has just been published and
which he composed a few weeks be-
fore his death. 1t is simply beautiful.
easy to plav, melodious, and perfect
adaptation of the exquisite words to
beautiful melody. The publishers, j.
w. jenkins Sons Music Co. Of Kan
sas City, Mo-, are making special
price Of 25 cents per copy.
The cotton piekers, says the Colum-
bia State, are getting busy. " is re-
ported from York county that three
young men picked 1855 pounds Of cot
ton in a single day, an average OF SOB
pounds each. This sounds very well
but the young men are brought to con-
fusion by the record Of an Anderson
county woman who gathered 500
pounds In one day, and made record
for four days Of 1900 pounds. It be-
gins to look as IL South Carolina has
the champion cotton pickers Of the
world. Or is it, perhaps, the champion
press agents?
There has been some complaint
among the military boys because Of
the vexatious delay to which they
were subjected during detrainment at
Manassas, and while Mr.. Brooks Nor
gan was in Yorkville Thursday the
reporter took occasion to twit him
about it. Mr.. Morgan took the matter
quite seriously, and explained the ait-
uation so as to relieve the railroad
people from blame. The military au-
thorities had charge of that matter he
said. The railroad people were ex-
pected to put the trains In the vicinity
Of Manassas, and then the government
made its own disposition. In many in
stances trains that could have been
unloaded at once were shifted about
to make room for others that had the
preference under the governments red
tape arrangements.
Within the past few months the
price Of rice has fallen to the lowest
price on record, and this article has
become the cheapest first class cereal
food to be had. The retail merchant
is now able to sell rice at from 81 to
cents a pound, according to quality
and make a good profit. The reason is
because of the increased production in
Texas and Louisiana, without any cor
responding increase Of consumption
anywhere In the country. The rice
farmers in the lower part Of South
Carolina are actually being forced out
of the business, and unless they can
find some other profitable crop will
have to let their plantations go to
waste. In the mean time, people
everywhere, who are looking for a
good cheap food will do well to culti-
vate a taste for rice. For people who
have learned to eat 1t, there Is moth
ing better than rice and just now there
is nothing cheaper.

CHARLES A. Calvo, Jr., has brought
suit against the Associated Press for
five million dollars for break Of con-
tract in connection with the defend
ants morning news franchise. w. s..
Montieth Of Columbia and c. A. Doug
lass Of Washington are representing
the plaintiff. Mr.. Calvo sets up that
he had a ninety-nine year contract
with the Associated Press for it's ex-
elusive service in Columbia. Upon
the failure of the United Press, the
Associated Press, in violation of its
contract sold it's franchise to the Co.
lumbia State. AS the result the Co
lumbia Register was shortly after
ward forced out Of existence. Mr..
Calvo claims that except for the bad
faith of the Associated Press, instead
of failing his paper would have be-
come a most prosperous business en-
terprise and heritage to his children.
It is said that a number of prominent
lawyers claim that Mr.. Calvo has a
good case; but until recently the
plaintiff, being without means, has
been unable to find anybody who was
willing to take the matter up and
foot the bills incident to the advance
ment Of the necessary legal processes.

CAP. FLINT
IN TROUBL. |:
A Subpoena and a Bench
Warrant Both Fail
to Get Him.

Captain Harry w. Flint OF the har-
Dor police, whether carelessly. wilfllly
or unavoidably, yesterday put himself
under rather strong burden of proof
that he was not deserving of punish
ment for contempt of court. When he
failed to appear in the forenoon as a
witness for the prosecution in the
Worth trial, Deputy Attorney General
Fleming asked the court to issue
bench warrant for him. The prosecut-
ing attorney said something about not
allowing the Government to be mon
keyed with, even by a police captain.
Judge De Bolt suggested that the
charge of smonkeyfng'' should not be
made without evidence and asked if
Captain Flint could not be reached by
telephone.
Mr.. Fleming stated that the witness
had been notified to be in court that
morning II he lid not appear at 2
o'clock the prosecution would ask for a
continuance of the trial.
Mr.. ChiIifngworth intimated rather
plainly that the defense would have
something to say about a continuance.
Thereupon Mr.. Fleming insisted on a
warrant, and the court reluctantly or
dered one to issue.
When the court resumed at 2 o'clock
Flint was not there and it appeared
the warrant had not been served upon
him. Mr.. Fleming rested the prosecu-
TONS case without him. though he was
declared to be "a material witness. -
Had Flint gone upon the stand the
defense would have objected to his evil
dence, perhaps with success, but that
fact has nothing to do with Flint
liability for disobeying the courts sub
poena. Up to the adjournment of the
court there was no return of the bench
warrant for the arrest of the truant
witness.

Lord Chief Justice Hankford, of
England, who lived in a former CEN
fury, Notwithstanding his high posi-
ton, became so tired of life that he
determined to shuttle off this mortal
coil. But he feared to commit suicide.

de Sc followed as a matter Of course,
and the body of the suicide was buried
at four crossroads with a stake thrust
through it. Further. he had to avert
the consequences to his relatives of
forfeiture of his goods, which was also
one of the penalties for self-destruction.
He adopted a novel expedient. Sew
eral of his deer having been stolen, he
gave orders to his keepers to shoot any
person they met in or near the park
at night who did not Immediately
stand when challenged. Then on a
dark night he threw himself in the
path of the keepers and, not answer
ing the challenge, was shot dead on
the spot The stump of an old oak
under which he fell still marks the
scene of the tragedy and goes to this
day by the name of landlords oak.

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face OF this idea the stimpos-
sibleo vanishes. Where there's
q will, there's way. Ii we
could but rob cod liver oil OF
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable.'
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be done.' he added.
seYou can no more turn cod liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
the "impossible :" had been ac-
complished. It is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritiye and curative properties OF
pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod liVers, COM
bfned with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts OF
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
neculiarities DR.. rockingham SO
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freely and confidently for

at Charlottesville,
lie Says, Is Tainted With
Prejudice---Juro Read
ing Papers Hope for
appeal.

Charlottesville, Va, Nov. S.-Mc-
Cue, the convicted WIfe-murderer,
confidently expects to get a new
trial. and declares that if the SUI
preme Court grants his appeal, he
does not intend to trust his chances
again in Charlottesville. The next
time he will ask for a change OF
venue, He, as well as his counsel,
appears to think that the jury trying
the case breathed an atmosphere
tainted with prajudice, and that,
however conscientious the twelve
men might be, they could not pre-
vent themselves from bee ming af-
fected by their environments.
Great stress Is placed by the de-
Tense upon the fact that jurors dur
ing the trial were permitted to read
the newspapers, although the evil
dence shows that none Of them read
beyond the headlines OF the case,
and each juror testified that he had
observed to the letter his oath upon
the subject.
Judge Morris at the beginning of
the trial, gave the members of the
jury permission to read newspapers,
provided they would avoid the re+
port of the trial as far as possible, all
except the headlines. This permits
sion was granted in open court, in
the presence of the accused and his
counsel, and without objection orex-
ception by them at the time. 1t is
the opinion of two of the ablest law
yers at the Charlottesville bar, who,
however. hal no connection with
the case, t"st 3 failure to excelt at
the time cnre. any error, if error
there really was, in the liberty
granted by tie judge.
One OF the professors of law at the
University of Virginia is strongly of
the opinion that the Supreme Court
will find no error in the instructions
allowed by Judge Morris.
They Were," said he, "extremely
fair and liberal to the accused. APP
parently every doubt was solved in
favor Of the prisoner, as it should
have been, and the wisest precaution
seemed to have been taken to give
the defense no excuse for an appeal
