JAPANESE TROOPS EMRARkINe
Transports at Nagasaki, Moi and
Kobe Taking Soldiers on Board.

NIUE sakInS oOIuISFS on bOarQ.
London, Feb. 18.-Dispatches pub
lished in London newspapers continue
to give descriptions of the embarking
of Japanese troops. Instead of en-
barking secretly from Ujina, as was
the case during the Chino-Japanese
war, the transports, according to dis
patches published in the Daily Tele-
graph and the Daily Mail, are openly
embarking troops from Nagasaki,
Moi, Kobe and elsewhere.
A cable to the Daily Telegraph from
Nagasaki says troops are clearing
every night for Korea, and ten large
steamers were embarking troops at
Nagasaki last Monday. All arms of
the service were represented, but the
cavalry horses were such sorry and
scrubby ponies that they hardly seem
ed worth transporting. The en-
barkations are all remarkably we'll
managed. Numerous shallow harbor
boats, as we'll as ordinary boats suit
able for rowing or towing in shallow
water, or through a heavy surf, are
taken on the transports. In conclu-
sion, this correspondent says the har-
Dor of Nagasaki has been mined.
Cabling from Shanghai under date
of Feb. II, a correspondent Of the
Daily Telegraph declares that a COM
bined movement between a Japanese
fleet and a large landing force from
Nagasaki is now proceeding.
The reports that the Japanese have
captured the East Asiatic company's
steamer Manchuria, as we'll as the ST.
berial railways steamer of the same
name, are confirmed. b.

A HEAVY RAID.
A Whole Carload OF Whiskey Selzeo
By Constables Near Co.
lumbia.

Columbia, December 17.-Dlspen-
sarv constables have seized a consld-
erable amount of whiskey recently.
The latest seize Of very large guam
titv was a carload, which was stop
ped about three miles from the city
on Friday night. The carload was
divided into eighty-two packages,
consigned to eighty-two different
parties, most of the names being nc
titious and the rest liquor dealers. Ihe
constables brought the whole ship
mert to Columbia last night, and
as no claim has been made for it the
constabulary concludes that 1t was
all contraband, and therefore 1t Will
be bottled and sold.
The revenue officials have inspect
ed some of it and found it legally
stamped
Since the internal revenue depart
ment has co-operated with the con-
stabularv in watching for contra
band and illicit whiskey there is very
little chance of any being received in
Columbia. When the Watts liquor
first went into effect in North Caro-
lima a great quantity Of stuff was
shipped into this state, some of 1t
stamped and some of it illicit. The
constabulary seized all Of it, but the
revenue department laid prior claim
to ali whiskey not stamped. the dis
pensary thus losing thousands of gal
Ions. Finally an agreement was
made with the government, and the
revenue officers and constabulary
have since worked together, unoffi-
cially, of course. Now there is very
little whiskey shipped without the
stamp. although the revenue officials
are advised every time a large ship
ment is received, and. acting on the
advice a formal inspection is made.
IF it is stamped the state seizes it: II

the grandeur OF their bald heads. >
Such words of cheer and consolation
to the many unwilling followers OF

OF philosophy in the Suns little para

that BY small amount of optimism
what may appear to be a curse can
easily be turned into a blessing.

clay and sand mixture Tor
road-building is growing in favor
with road-builders, and the exper-
ience of the past few years has con-
vinced some of the experts that clay

dam for, r,public roads and city streets
as we'll, except where the traffic is
the heaviest"
Il the clay and sand mixture IS
GOOD for public roads it is also good
for sidewalks. The Herald and
News has been advocating the use
Of more of this material in Newberry
for some time past. Whenever there
is rainfall the walks in many places
are a disgrace to. the town. The

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20.
The Forest Congress.

Extensive arrangements are beng
made for an American Forest con-
gress, to be held at Washington u. ~
January 2-6. 1905. The congress Will
be under the auspices of the Amerl-
can Foresty association, OF which the
Hon. James Wilson, secretary OF ag-
Siculture, is president. The purpose
Of the congress, as announced IN the
official call, is "to establish a broad
er understanding of the forest IN ITS
relation to the great industries de-
pending upon it; to advance the con-
servative use of the forest resources
FOR both the present and future needs
of the forest as permanent resource
OF the nation" Following the an
nouncement an exhaustive program
IS being arranged, which will make
the congress by far the most notable
event in the history of American tor
csty. Some southern states are TO
be represented, but, as far as we
know. no arrangement has been
made for representative from South
Carolina. The congress touches
upon matters which are Of vast mo-
ment to this state, and it is to be
hoped that the voice of South Caro-
lima will be heard at the great gath
ering.

SELLS & FOREPAUGH
 SHOWS TO SELL
One of the Big Circuses Will be Sold Under the Hammer at
 Close of Season.

New York, Sept. Sells Bros. circus, next to Barnum & Bailey's the largest show in the world, will be sold at the close of the season, which ends on Mo- vember 19. It will be the first time on record that a circus of this size and importance has passed under the hammer.
 The Sells Bros. circus, which now includes the Adam Fore paugh circus, was organized in 1871, while the Forepaugh circus began as a little wagon show in 1859. The two were consolidated in 1894, and James A. Bailey and w. w. Cole, owners of the Bar mum & Bailey circus are equally interested, with Peter and Lewis Sells.
 Peter Sells of Columbus, Ohio, one of the owners of Sells Bros. circus, is ir poor, health. Having suffered a paralytic stroke two weeks ago, and, being advanced in years, he has decided to part with all the circus property he controls with his brother.
 w. w. Cole said yesterday: "At a conference held last week between the Sells brothers, MT. Bailey and myself, it was mutual fly agreed to sell the Sells Bros. circus at auction. MT. Bailey and myself have no desire to ac- quire more circus property, and probably the show will go to an outsider '

ALL EFFORTS FAIL
 TO LYNCH CROSBY.
Murderer of Sheriff Morgan Re. mains in Jail at Batesville- Mob Made Repeated
 Efforts.

Batesville, Sept. 17. Rob ert Crosby, the young man who shot and killed Sheriff Jeff D. Morgan Thursday evening, has not fallen into the hands of a mob. Everything is quiet now, and there is small likelihood of mob violence.
 Circuit Judge F. D. Fulkerson announces that he will call a special session of the grand jury this week for the purpose of in- dieting Crosby, so that he may be given a speedy trial. The effect of this action will be to re- press the excitement and feeling which have at times almost found expression in vengeance at the hands of a mob. A crowd visit ed the jail between 12 and 1 Fri day night, but found that they could not get into the cell where Crosby was confined. They were dissuaded from their purpose by Drury Adams, w. A. FiAe, J. A. Hinkle, J. A. Hardy and other good citizens.
 The fact that public excite ment has subsided to some ex- tent is due in a large measure to a request from the widow of Sheriff Morgan to the citizens of Independence county that they use no violence toward the mur- derer of her husband, but that the law be allowed to take it's course. Mrs. Morgan bases her request upon the assurance that a speedy trial will be given the culprit.
 Crosby, the murderer, who has escaped the mob by the closest margin since the tragedy of Thursday evening, is only P years of age, and was born and reared in this county. When he was IS years old he robbed a store in Iz- ard county. He was subsequent ly arrested and lodged in the Full ton county jail at Salem. After being held a prisoner a short time Crosby knocked the jailer down and got away. He went to Iowa and stayed several years at Des Moines. Early this week he came to Arkansas and was on his way to see his mother in this county when Sheriff Morgan in- tercepted him. Crosby now de- clares that he did not intend to kill Sheriff Morgan, and does not know why he shot him. The rope was actually around Cros- by's neck Thursday evening, soon after the tragedy, and the angry crowd shouted Hang him? Hang him." yet he is still alive, and owes his life to the cool heads that prevailed.
 The indications are now that Crosby will be tried, convicted and hanged within the next thirty-fve days.

honor and integrity.A less astute politician than Judge Parker could cas- fly understand that such an assault would act as 8 boomerang.
 Therefore, the public may be pardon ed for asking why it should be deemed expedient to write such a letter for publication, after the textbook had been already prepared, printed and distrib- ted. Was it simply designed to exploit the magnanimity and high sense of honor of the Democratic candidate? If this be so, and it is not easy to imagine any other reason either for the writing of the letter or it's publication, the in- cident will go far to create or confirm the impression that the famous gold telegram" was also play to the galler- ies carefully premeditated and design ed to portray its author in heroic pose before the country. '"The Brook lyn Times would be sorry to be con- strained to place so low ail estimate up- on Judge Parker's candidacy as this; it has held that the judge is entitled to full credit for the courage and candor which the sending of that telegram on its face implied.
