OFFICERS OF CORK
COMPANY ARRESTED.
Result of Conspiracy Developed by
the Government.

Washington, Oct. IA conspiracy,
which has been developed by officials
of the department of commerce and
labor and of the department of Justice,
today resulted in the arrest at Cam
den, N. j., of J. Il. Stone, H. G:
Ouintard, Charles ". Russ and
James Russ, officers of the Nonpareil
Cork works. They were apprehended
by the United States marshal for the
district of New jersey, under an In
dictment found on Sept. % by the
United States grand jury at Trenton
charging them under section 5440 OF
the revised statutes of the United
States with conspiring to defraud the
government and prejudice the admin
istration of the steamboat inspection
laws by putting upon the market COM
pressed cork blocks for use in making
life preservers, each Of which blocks
contained in its centre a piece OF bar
iron about six inches long and weigh
ing eight ounces. The iron bar was
inserted and concealed in the block
for the purpose of increasing the
weight to the legal requirement OF SIX
pounds of good cork for each life
preserver. The men arrested will be
a1raigned probably early next week
before the United States district court
of New Jersey to plead to the indict-
ment. :,

1t is mortally certain that had John
Morrison's life been spared by the
mob and be had been brought to trial
be would have been defended by as
many lawyers as he could have paid
and a circumstantial story OF self
defense, with probably something
about threatening messages, would
have been concocted. And lawyers,
knowing the mans horrible record
and that the defense he built was but
a tissue of lies, would have made
their arguments for his acquittal and
declared their conviction in his justi-
fcation as earnestly, as solemnly, as
if the cause was holy. And there are
some who would have gone out and
hired agents to ''fix" jurors. Gentle
men of the bar Of South Carolina, is
not that the condition in this State?
Do you not know that the picture is
true to life? Can justice be done
when such procedure is countenarnced

CONTROL LING BOIL HEEvIL IN SEED.
Agricultural Department Makes
Recommendations Designed
to Refard Spread of Pest.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The depart
ment Of agriculture has issued re-
portion its investigation Of the problem
of controlling the boil weevils In cot
ton seed and at ginneries. The report
makes several recommendations de-
signed to greatly retard the present
rate of spread Of the great cotton pest
and says that such means OF control
are imperative. The report recon-
mends storage of the seed in build
ing separate from the seed cotton stor-
age house; the installation in the lat
ter of special cleaners or droppers,
which also would facilitate ginning !;
more extensive, use of cleaner feeders
and cotton cleaners in the gin house
proper, the trash therefrem to be so
treated as to destroy the weevils and
the perfecting of device for remov-
Ing and destroying the weevils in the
seed and notes. The report says that
whenever the system of handling
and ginning cotton is, not found-to be
effective in removing weeyils, as In
practically all the smaller and many
of the larger ginneries in Texas and
Louisiana, the seed should be proper
Nv sacked and fumigated. Farmers
are urged to adopt precautions to pre-
vent the introduction of the weevils
in seed or hulls for feeding purposes,
as we'll as in ginnery refuse. The re-
port concludes that it does not seem
possible to. control the boil weevI
effectively at the Oil mills.

NEWSPAPER eHARiC Err.
Essential Virtues Are Good Faith,
Discretion, independence.

Tie idea that newspaper men are
eager to publish everything they know
or hear is utter fallacy. Tie publication
of newspaper is very grave response
bility, and the largest discretion must
be exercised in the use of information.
The newspaper n al is, indeed, eager
to learn all be can of what is going
on in the world, but, in actual prac-
tice he prints only a small proper
tion of what he learns in the columns
of MS newspaper. The information
which may be kept back is not sup
pressed because Of a desire to>suppress
the truth, but because publication at
that time might do more harm than
good. There is, indeed, a certain class
Of news which must be published
whether it hurts or not, whether it
works for prosperity or for panic.
That is the essential truth, the sup
preston of which would be an out-and
out lie. But there is large mass of
information, true in itself, and which
sometime may develop into proper ma
terial for publicity, but which at that
moment is better left unsaid.
Another popular misconeeption,
regarding newspapers is that they can
be easily bribed. The subsidized jour
nal is, indeed, in evidence in this
country as we'll as in other countries.
The "court circular type of jour
nalism is one to which we have had
many occasions to refer during the
past year. But there is another and
higher type of newspaper, and this
kind cannot be reached by bribery of
any kind. Yet nothing is more COM
mon than the idea that newspaper
can be controlled by it's advertieIs, by
its subscribers, and by men from
whom it may obtain it's news. This is
very common fallacy in financial
circles. A good many business men
think that because they give an ad-
vertisement to newspaper they have
sort Of mortgage on its news and
editorial columns. There are, also
good many business men who think
that because they give piece of news
to a newspaper they are entitled to
favorable consideration in it's editorial
columns.
The fact is that newspaper con-
Quoted on high principle has no bnsi-
ness,aon the done hand, to run amuck
like U bull in china shop, smashing
this interest, demoralizing this plan
and that plan, and playing havoc gen
orally. Its policy must always be COZ
structive, not destructive, designed
to build rather than tear down, to aid
rather than to injure. But on the
other hand, in order to serve the pub
lie faithfully, it must maintain
strict independence. It's natural de-
sire will be of course, to aid it's adver-
tisers in every way, but it may be
sometimes necessary for it to critcise
an advertiser, and it will do so fear
lessly. = It's natural desire will be to
keep on friendly terms with those men
from whom it must necessarily obtain
the news to which its readers are en-
titled. But there will be frequently
occasions when the newspaper may
fee, obliged to censure severely the
very man from whom it may have re-
ceived the biggest possible piece Of
news. The three cardinal virtues for
the newspaper men are good faith,
discretion and independence.-Wal
Street Journal.

Wonderful Latin Sentence.

a philologist quoted the other day
this sentence, "Sator arepoteret opera
rotas.'' He paused impressively. Re
repeated the sentence as clergyman
repeats his text, then he resumed.
"That is the most remarkable SEN
teace in the world, for besides being
good sense it reads the same way
backwards as towards, and further
more, the first letters of each of the
FIVE words spell the sentences first
word, the second letter the second
word, the third letters the third
word and so on to the end.
"Also," be went on, s. if you take the
letters of each word beginning at the
end AMI proceeding towards the front,
you spell all the words again Sator'
first. @then Arepo' land finally
'rotas.'''

though, he had a mighty difficult
rhine-just how difficult thing you
won't appreciate until you try to
make up such a sentence yourself.'

a rumoT has recently gone the
rounds says The Chicago Chronicle,
that DR.. Daniel Colt Gilman, the pres
dent of the Carnegie Institution at
Washington, was about to resign his
Office, among the many different rea-
sons given one being that he was
breaking down from old age. At last,
to get at the truth of it all, reporter
called upon him for a little first hand
information. "Resign?'' was DE-. Gill
mans answer, certainly not" And
after an instant's pause he added
"Joseph LIE Conte, my old colleague
at the University of California, was
asked just such question you have
put to me on bis eightieth birthday.

a VALUABLE PATENT.
Mr.. C. NJ. Furlaan lnyents a Cal
cuIafing Machine that May
Suppiants all the Others.
Rapid Multiplication.

The calculating machine, which
Mr., Charles NJ. Furman. Jr., one OF
ssttIa popular young men with the Cole
man Wagener Hardware Co., has just
recently mad patented, is attracting
considerable attention in the State.
His machine is intended to do the
multiplying which all paymasters tlnd
so irksome, and promises to replace
all such machines now In use as wage
calcu1ators.
The Greenville News says OF the
machine .sThe machine is to be used
largely in the calculation OF wages.
For instance, If a man works 3S2
hours for week, and received SIT. %
per week for sixty hours, by pressing
two buttons, which are indicated on
the machine, the amount will appear
before you, thereby saving the tIou,
bic Of multiplying fractions. About
eighty different rates can be put into
the machine, which is aboRt IL inches
square and three inches high. -
The special merit of Mr.. kurman s
invention is that it calculates in frac-
tions, which cannot be doae by other
machines of it's kind. The inventor
has not decided yet whether he will
sell the patent outright OF form a
stock company. The machine will be
in great demand in the big manufac-
turers. offices or anywhere in the re-
gion OF pay rolls. It is great labor
saver and practically indestruct1ble IN

DARLINGTON MURDERER
TO Be HANGED.
Sam Marks Who Killed Hill Langs-
fon Will Pay the Penalty
November II.

Darlington, Oct. The trial Ct
Sam Marks and Nose Ham, the two
negroes charged with numbering Hill
Langston on September 10, closed
this afternoon at . o'clock
when the jury rendered verdict OF
guilty with recommendation to mercy
as to Nose Ham. Mr.. George w.
Brown, attorney for the prisoners,
requested that the verdict of the jury
be read by the clerk in the absence
of the prisoners who were ln jail
when the jury came out. This was
to prevent. violence being done the
prisoners, should the verdict be other
wise than was expected by the relatives
and friends of the deceased, large
number of whom were in the Court
room from the beginning Of the trial
until the end. The Judge granted Mr..
Browns request and the verdict was
read. In the meantime the Darlington
Guards, commanded by Capt. p. 4.
Cox, Lisuts S. G.. King and j. p.
Gillespie, had assembled at their
armory awaiting orders. When the
Judge was ready to pronounce SEN
tence the Guards marched from the
armory to the Jail and escorted the
sheriff, his deputies and the prisoners
to the Court room. The entire police
force, commanded by Capt. A. =.
Dargan, were also on hand to preserve
order.
The Court room was packed to hear
the sentence imposed. Judge Aldrich
very solemnly sentenced Sam Marks to
be hanged November II, and Nose
Ham to hard labor for life in the Pen
itentiary. The prisoners we're at
once taken back to prison under escort
of the Guards.
It was a scene never before witness
ed in the law-abiding town and coun-
ty of Darlington, and it is hoped that
the like of it will never be witnessed
again.
Being Saturday, there was an IN
usual large crowd in town, and some
excitement was created by the threats
said to have been previously made,
but for all of which there really
seems to have been very little soun-
dation.
