How the Jury Was Chosen.

Rochester Post-I.xpress: Apropos OF
the reappearance in the political arena
OF eX-Iieutenant Governor Tillman. OF
south Carolina, there is an extraordi-
nary story in the Louisville Courier
journal that throws new light on our
jury system and the practice of crimi-
n a law. According to our Louisville
contemporary there was never any
doubt as to the result of the trial in
the minds Of the defense, and it goes
on to give the reason for this feeling OF
safety. AS soon hs 1t was known in
what county the Tillman case would be
tried. says the Journal. men represents
ing themselves as agents tor a picture
enlarelng establishment made their APP,
%,pearance in that county. There were
"a dozen of them, and each man carried
with him as a sample of the work lone
by his house an enlarged portrait Of
Tillman. which was SO natural that no
II could fail to recognize it. The agent
treated the women with marked polite
ness but always did business with the
man of the house. After a few min
utes' conversation he would display
FTillman's picture. This naturally
enough would lead to a discussion OF
the Gonzales killing. and by adroit
questioninG-the agents We're lawyers
the anvasser would soon discover
whether the man was in sympathy with
Tillman or against him. In this way
the entire county was canvassed; not a
house was missed; INC when the trial
was called the attorneys for the defense
were armed with an alphabetical list Of
the entire male population OF the coun-
ty eligible for jury service, and opposite
each name was q memorandum showing
how he stood On the case. When a a
was called who was marked danger

state that he had expressed an opin-

furnishes food for thought. The scheme
is so simple tina the great wonder is
that 1t never was tried before. 1t is
cheaper than bribery, less bungling and
much safer. In the hands of skilful
workers 1t does not seem as if it could
fail in a rural

me, whether In the spirit or the flesh. I
could hardly tell. SO transported was I
by the swift changes Of my thought,
merging beauties ever new, ever spark

dainty thing in white. White of dress,

warning she would fain convey but
for their sweetness. All I could realize
for the moment was that she had
sought me, sought me freely. Then
she was gone. Swiftly, noiselessly as
she came, she disappeared. The dis
tant flutter OF her skirts among the
sombre trees marked the path she went.
Through 1t all I spoke no word, re-
turning, as n Who has received an

Danger in ShelIfish.

Harper's Weekly: AS a result of
recent agitation over the communica-
bility of disease by shellfish taken
from waters polluted by sewage
there have been numerous investiga-
tons of the subject by biologists in
Europe and the United States. The
last report of the British royal COM
mission on sewage disposal consid-
crs in detail the progress made in re-
cent Investigations. and states that
there is no doubt that man. cases of
typho0 fever, as well as other dis
eases, are caused by eating shellfsh
obtained from waters contaminated
by sewage. So serious was the evil,
in the opinion of the commission, that
the only satisfactory method of coping
with it was to confer on some COM
petent authority absolute jurisdiction
over tidal waters from which We're
taken shellfish for human food. in or
der that no supplies whatsoever should
be derived from polluted waters. The
commission also realized that some
definite standard of purity must be es-
tablished, as they We're able to find
bacillus coli, which is considered to
Indicate the presence of human pollu-
ton, In nearly all of 1000 oysters
which We're examined bacteriologically.
AS many of these specimens came
from waters known TO be very pure,
1t presented q difficulty which will re-
quire further research to remove 1t
has, however, been demonstrated tina
shellfish should not be grown, stored
or fattened in water to which II pos
sible pollution may come.

PRACTICAL SERMONS,

n CoIored Preachers DO Not the
Race Is Doomed, Says Dean PontOn.
Brunswick. Ca, April S0.-The John
c.. Martin Bible Conference has been
in session here since Tuesday, Dean
M. M. Ponton in charge. The ses-
sions were held in the Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church, and the Brunswick
High School for Colored Children. 1t
was one of the best conferences held
under the John c. Martin fund in
Georgia. The preachers of the city
discussed freely many questions I'm
portant and necessary In the develop
ment of the negro. Questions purely
UNCONVENTIONAL, political and such as
those whose tendency seems to cause
bitterness between the races were not
allowed to come before the conference.
The entire time was taken up with BIZ
BILE reading, blackboard and chemical
illustrations, lectures, addresses and
sermons. Dean Ponton told the preach
ers that unless they preach more upon
practical questions, such as Sabbath
observance and the sanctity of the
marriage vow. the race is hopeless
doomed. He said no race can rise
higher than the family life of its peo-
pie the observance of the Sabbath and
fidelity to the marriage covenant form
the two pillars, standing beneath the
social order of the world.

DRY GOODS BILL GIVEN
IN EARLY DAYS OF NATION
Calico and Buttons Compose Items of Bill for
S25.31H Contracted for in January, 1907.

An interesting relic of the early days
Of Savannah is an old receipted bill
for $25.31A, now in the possession OF
Gen. P. A. S. McGlashan. The bill
is dated Jan. q, 1897.
The bill is made on ordinary white
paper, the name of the firm being
written in ink, instead of printed, as
is the case with bills of the present
day. Though yellowed with age. the
paper is remarkably we'll preserved,
and the different items are quite legi-
BILE.
One Of the interesting points about
the old bill is that in the different
items scheduled, both the English and
American moneys are used. Where
more than one yard of goods was
bought the price per yard is entered
in the English money, and the total
cost of that particular item entered
in the American money. The total of
