HOYT HAYES CASE.

There is considerable interest
being taken by many people in this
county in the Hoyt Hayes case in
Oconee, In fact, the case is being
closely watched by the people of
the entire State. He was sentenced
by Judge Dantzler to be hanged on
October 14th. Since the sentence
was passed, his attorneys have been
very active in trying TO get COM
mutation to life sentence in the peni-
tentiary
During the past week paper was
filed with the Governor containing
the names Of 500 or more Oconee
citizens asking the Governor not to
interfere. Since that time it is under.
stood that much larger list has
been filed requesting the Governor to
commute the sentence.
While the testimony looks very

time it is purely circumstantial, and
for tnat reason the request is made
for the Communication.
Circumstantinl evidence, we are
told by the best criminal lawyers, is
the most conclusive in murder cases,
where the chain is complete, for
there can be no conflicting testimony
that oftentimes render murder cases
SO complex and difficult of solution.
The governor would do well to
ponder over the testimony, and if
there is a flaw in the chain, the
doomed young man should have the
benefit of the doubt. All that the law
abiding people Of the State desire, is
that Justice be meted out in accord
ance with the evidence,
1t is a grave responsibility that is
upon the governor

ELECTION PROTESTS.

Plckens county can congratulate
itself on not having any protests over
election results. Our neighhors,
Greenville and Oconee are soroly
troubled, and there are protests in
several other counties of the State
In Greenville county there was a
protest over the Supervisors contest.
j, W. Walker was declared the nom.
nee after the first primary, but when
Mr.. Speegle entered protest a few
days ago, the County Executive Com
mittee met and reversed thoir decision
and declared Mr. Speeglo elected.
In Oconee there are protests over
the results Of the election for Sheriff
and Treasurer. The Executive Com.
nittee meets October 3 to consider
the protests.
These protests are becoming more
numerous with the years, and shows
conclusively that the primary system
in vogue in this State is falling into
bad repute The system is too lax,

Italy's ruler has ever been keen
sportsman, from the early days when,
prince Of Naples, he wooed and won a
wife as ardent follower Of the open
life as himself Queen Elena, daugh-
ter of the fine ola "Gospodar" Prince
Nicholas, Of Montenegro, had been
brought up in sporting land, with sis
ters and brothers devoted to the out
door pastimes; her brothers are expert
shots, whose fame has travelled far
beyond the narrow limits of their
fathers kingdom.
Turning to Italy's associates in the
triple alliance, we find two keen sports
men at the head of affairs. 70 his out
door work among the hills in pursuit
of stag and chamois and varied fur or
feather, Franz Josef, the aged Aus
trian Emperor, owes not little of his
vitality and endurance. It is no light
load of care he must discard; at his
age the burden might well be past
bearing. The bracing air, the call Of
the sport, and the steady demand upon
brain as well as hand, serve. appa'

and scattered his followers, but the
success was not followed up and few
months later Abdulla had collected the
fragments of his army and had recOv-
cred his strength. The latest victory
of the British is very similar to the one
of 1901. II the British had not then
been careless in following up the ad-
vantage gained, it is doubtful whether
they would have been humiliated and
distressed by the reverses suffered at
Erego In October Of the following year.
Col. Swayne had penetrated as far to
the south and east as Erego, and two
minor victories over divisions Of Mad
Mullah's forces, had encouraged him to
underestimate the strength OF the enc
my. As result the British were forced
to retreat after two desperate conflicts
in which the enemy was barely pre-
vented from completely annihilating
the English army. This signal victory
gave increased prestige and power to
Mad Mullah and made the task before
Britain of conquering him more for
midable than ever before. The latest
victory, however. may be the beginning
of the end Of this cafty and keen Som
ali warrior, and result in Somaliland.

", Turkeys sultan flies at higher game
and kills it by proxy. It is hardly fair
to mention his name among sportsmen.
Dom Carlos, happiest of kings and
most jovial Of men, is perhaps the best
shot among the crowned heads Of Eu-
rope. His prowess is wonderful. A
big, heavy man, he moves his gun with
a rapidity that must be seen to be be-
lieyed, and what he aims at falls, prop
er1y hit. With shotgun, rifle, or re-
volver he is equally expert-indeed, he
can pierce the marks on playing-card
with a revolver at 20 PAGES and drop
flying pigeons with rifle. He is never
more happy than when he has gun
in hand, and frequently competes
among his subjects at the. Tir aux
Pigeons at Cascaes or elsewhere In his
own dominions, nearly always winning
the prize and never taking 1t. When
Dom Carlos was in England he was
recognized by all who had the privi-
lege of seeing his performances as
man who had nothing to fear by COM
parison with that countrys finest
shots.

Pardo, he is in pursuit OF all that runs
or flies. This relaxation is very neces-
sary, for the young monarch's health
has given great uneasiness to his i'm.
mediate circle. People round him
realize that Madrid is no place for
the young king; that his best chance
of health will come in open air and, in
cidentally, as far from Madrid as pos
sible. His love of sport may yet keep
him from the trouble that took his
father from the throne.
Gustave, crown. prince of Sweden

is no less.

RUSSIAN C0SSACKS
The Most Picturesque Feature Of the
Cars Army.
Most Mobile Body of Cavalry and the
Best Scouts In Europe or Asia
Like American Rough
Riders.

With the persistent rumOrs OF war
coming out of the east, interest in the
armies of both the car and mikado con-
tinues to grow, and the peculiarities and
characteristics of the troops Of both
nations have an unusual interest.
The mighty fighting machine Of Rus
sia, with its more than 10000 troops
of all classes, contains many interesting
organizations, and, in fact, there Is just
sufficient mystery thrown around the en-
tire army to give it an interest greater
than is attached to any other European
armed force. But the Russian troops
that figure most in the romance and his
tory of the nation are the Cossacks,
that wonderful body of soldiers that may
be likened in a way to the rough riders
of our own army during the war with
Spain, and have many of the characters
tics familiar to our regular cavalry Or
ganizations that learned fighting dur
ing the Indian wars of the west.
There are no better scouts in the
world than the Cossacks. These men
serve in the Russian army under special
regulations. Service with them begins
on the completion of the eighteenth year,
and lasts 20 years, of which seven are
spent actually serving. These rules do
not apply, however, to the Ural Cos
sacks, who are volunteers, although they
serve actually one year. Since the days
when the allied armies entered Paris,
no part Of the Russian army has taken
such hold on the popular imagination
as the Cossack cavalry.
Like the French Zouave and the
Prussian Uhlan, the Cossack has been
enveloped with certain amount of ro-
nance, and lives in story far more than
his less-known comrades in the Russian
army. And this is not without reason,
for the Cossack makes excellent fighting
material On active service as scouts
the Cossacks are the eye and soul OF the
army. Like pointer they seem to
smell the enemy, when no one else
thinks of his existence.
Neither Cossack nor his horse seems
to know what fatigue means-they never

rently, to bauish the troubles that wait
on statecraft.
The German kaiser Is a keen and
skilled performer with the gun. and
his prowess is the more remarkable
because one hand is comparatively use
less. He has remarkable endurance
and he, too, uses shooting as an anti
dote to the worry of affairs. His sons
-or the elder ones, to be exact-are
credited with more than common ca
pacity. One of them was shooting in
England last year on the estates of the
duke of Buccleuch, where his work
with the gun was commented upon
very favorably.
Part of French presidents duties

French president, Felix Faure, shoot.
ing at Rambouillet; the biograph had
preserved the scene, and music hall
presented it 20 London. A loader in
uniform looked after the second gun
of M. lie President; one or two officers
correctly attired stood stiffly by his
side; and the birds went hard down
wind, or seemed to. The president
shot severely and without emotion;
amid the noise of battle he was pro-
foundly calm. Perhaps 1t was the
proper official attitude; perhaps he was
conscious of his biographer. M. Lou
bet does not look as if he would great
ly enjoy a battue but doubtless he does
his duty when France calls upon him
to shoot pheasants.
1t Is more than likely that the czar
Of all the Russias gets little or no en-
joyment from his use Of the gun. With
him. shooting Is a diplomatic fiction;
even the famous visit, made q month
ago, to the preserves at Murzsteg was
a matter Of necessity rather than
choice, and it could have given him
scant pleasure to shoot in woods that
had to be surrounded for the cake Of
his personal safety by thousands Of
soldiers and scores of detectives. The
sense OF freedom that almost all Eu-
ropes rulers may enjoy is forbidden to

he had made the long and difficult pill
grimage to Mecca when in 1898 he first
came into prominence through his be-
ing styled "The New Mahdi," at Alden,
where he was well known. In appear
ance he is tall, vigorous and with reg
ular features, in fact, he has the giant
physique that is typical of the Somalis.
and displays those fighting qualities
which distinguish the Somalis as easily
the peers of any of the militant races OF
East Africa.
Like David of old he began his career
as tender of his fathers sheep. A Mo-
hammedan missionary becoming inter-
ested in the promising looking youth
induced the father to permit his train
ing to a religious life. On his first pill
grimage to Mecca, at the age Of 20,
Shiek Mohammed Salah, the supreme
leader of the mysterious confraternity
known as Tariqa Mahaaia, became so
deeply interested In the young man
that he kept him with him, and Abdul
la is now the favorite disciple of this
important religious leader. He is q
man of considerable learning, instead
of being, as is SO generally supposed,
more or less of a savage, and has ac-
quired extraordinary influence over the
inhabitants of Somali.
He has passed various DEGREES, OF
which one makes it illegal to be mar
ried by an ordinary Cadi, who Is sub
ject to the king of England. He also
freely excommunicates all who, do not
follow his peculiar tenets. There are
q number of tribes which, while per-
fectly willing to live contented and
happy under British rule, are out of
sympathy with aggressive warfare up
on Mad Mullah, and who are deter
mined to resist every effort made to
compel them to fight their corelfgion-
lists.
This complicates the situation for
England, whose policy, like the Ro-
mans Of old, is to utilize the men and
resources of the country for which they
are contending. Because Of Mad Null
lah's power to dart from one point to
another, he has been styled at Alden.

rifles in the hands of his Somali war
riors, trained to shoot by an Austrian
adventurer, he is troublesome II not
