Awful Sava2ery.

Two Indian children Of Eagle Va
ley, New, have murdered their three
year-old brother. The Oldest OF the
fratricides is ! years, a girl, and the
other is but I, BOY. Indian Jack,
the father OF the three children and
his wife, left their tepee to haul wood
and on returning to their tent found
their youngest child with its sribs caved
in and it's backbone almost severed
from its natural fastenings. Owing
to the fact that the older children had
shown strange aversion to the dead
child, they were at once accused OF the
crime. They, however, maintain the
reticence characteristic of the Indian
and have refused to answer questions.
The father Of the boy, who is al edu
Gated red man, is almost heart broker
! over the affair.

Kings Mountain Battle.

Gov. Howard has received number
of request and letters asking that there
be some official action taken in regard
to the celebration of the I25th ami
versary of the battle of Kings Noun
tain, which occurs this year. The idea
was first suggested by a resident Of
Pennsylvania and has been taken up
by all the patriotic societies OF the
state, with the result that some ap-
propriate exercies will take place.
Governor Hayward will do all in his
power to aid the celebration, but there
are no funds on hand with which to
call for any official action by the
state.

meeting with a little opposition. 1t is
even pointed out that the constitution

Articles Of Confederation said, THE
style Of this Confederacy shall be The
United States Of America" But, as
the State asks. what has the G. O. P.
to do with the constitution!

'The Office of attorney general is an
exceedingly important one. AS tne
legal adviser of all the State depart
ments, including the dispensary insti-
tutions with its s3,000,0o0 business
and large number of officers; the du-
ties as member of and advisor of the
phosphate commission, the State rail-
road board Of assessors, State board Of
health, and other boards, suggests the
amount and importance Of the work
of the Office. How that work has
been dore tie records show, and the
representatives of the various depart
ments will attest. The work of the
railroad board Of assessors is an illus
tration. This board, consisting Of
tive State officials, spent number Of
weeks in performing its duties in as
sessing $50, 900, 900 worth Of pr. berty,
and increasing the assessment Of last
year over 81 900, 900 in round numbers
over the year before, to the satisfac-
tion, I believe, Of all concerned, GER
tainly resulting in marked increase
IN the depleted revenues of the State
The sinking fund commission, of which
the attorney general is a member, has
charge of the hand ing Of the sink ng
fund to liquidate the public debt,
which fund now amounts to about
$3.50, 900 with an interest to our credit
OF nearly $4,000 a year for money
loan.d to the counties and otherwise,
or an increase of the year before Of
over $4,000.

THELAST SPEAKER.

Mr.. Il. ]. Gignilliat of Oconee was
the last candidate for railroad commits
sioner tn be introduced Mr.. Gignil-
lat sad that from the speeches OF
the preceding speakers he had dis
covered that Sumter county was an
incubator, that it had hatcbed out
many candidates. He hoped that
the incubator would SIT him on his
feet.
Mr.. Gignilliat read the recommen-
dations from his own county and the
endorsements given him by his own
people, who declared MIN to be an
honest man.
Mr.. Gign;lliat urged that there
should be at least one practical rail
road man on the commission. And
as be had had a number Of years ex.
perience as express agent and railroad
agent he felt more qualified to transact
the business of railroad commissioner
than men without such experience.

MR.. ". BOYD EVANS.

The next candidate for railroad
commissioner to address the voters was
Mr.. W. Boyd Evans. He said that be
came from Marion, the county Of his
birth and from Richland, the county
OF his adoption, under the tongue Of
good repute. He had made a clean
race two years ago. BE proposed to

Mr.. Evans took the position that
it was against Democratic policy in
South Carolina to re-elect q man to
the Ctlice Of railroad commissioner
giving him y years in Office, one half
the business life Of the ordinary man.
He said that no member Of his
immediate family had held office
since 1854. He appeared before the
people of South Carolina as self-made
man. He had made the money to
send himself through College and he
had been appointed private secretary
to Gov. Ellerbe, who had observed his
struggles, and who appointed him
without bis solicitation.
Without meaning to attack Mr..
Garris he asked his audience what had
the railroad commission ever done for
the benefit Of the people. He did not

THREE HUNDRED OPINIONS.

Nearly 300 written opinions we're
given by our Office as well as very
large amount of verbal legal advice
The opinions are almost invariably
sustained when tested before the
courts. The amount Of litigation has
been considerable and some Of it very
important, involving such questions
as the constitutionality of the dis
densary law, and the antitrust laws,
railroad merger laws, and others in
volving questions of vast legal, politi-
cal and economic questions. The
course Of such cases, by reason Of Cir
cumstances that no lawyer can con-
troll, has been slow (more eXaSperating
to me probably than any one else); but
those that have come to a Judicial test
the State has won, and we have strong
faith in the hearings yet to be had.
In the annual report l called to
the attention of the general assembly
that more stringent and certain laws
should be made as to gambling and
the operation Of slot machines. Such
laws were passed, of course not neces-
sarily from that suggestion, but they
passed, and stand ready to aid in
the enforcement of law and to dedi-
cate all the power of my Office to the
Suppression Of crime, to proper recog-
milton OF constituted authority and
the furtherance Of the noble name Of
my State"

had done Ehat was right according to
his lights. The railroads were citi-
zens of the State the same as other
corporations and they were entitled to
careful consideration, and their rights
were not to be disregarded any more
than the rights of the people. The
acts of the railroad commission had
been criticised by shippers, but the
commission had tried to hold justice
in view always, and the magnitude of
the operations prevented their decis-
ion with the readiness of so cent
ira. saction. He then took up in
detail a comparison of the railroad
rates in South Carolina and other
southern States. His deductions
from these comparisons were that
the rates in South Carolina were more
favorable to the people than the rates
in other southern States. lie stated
that regardless Of the fact that y
years ago nearly all the railroads 10
South Carolina were in the hands OF
receivers, yet today there were more
applications for new depotS in South
Carolina than in Georgia and North
Carolina combined.
He spoke OF the matter of claims
and took the position that many hon
est Gains were not paid because OF
the lack of local claim agents. he had
tried to have the legislature provide
for this. The legislature had not pro
sided for it, and there was loss and
delav.
