Need Give No UneasineSs.

The decision of the supreme court as to
authority of police officers to arress for
a misdemeanor without warrant need
give no uneasiness to municipal officers.
Associate Justice Jones reiterates former
decisions to the effect that for offenses less
than a felony peace officer may not
arrest without a warrant unless the Of
fence is committed in his presence, but
the justice qualities this broad rule by the
assertion that an arrest may be made on
the arrival of the officer at the scene SO
soon after the occurrence that there are
still evidences of the disturbance. In the
discharge of their difficult and peculiar
duties it is frequently necessary, for the
sake of order and justice, that police Of
ficers shall make immediate arrests for
misdemeanors not committed in their
presence, and so long as these officers per-
form their duty with discretion they can
be certain of being sustained by the
courts in any particular case.-The State.

A Sharp Trick.

ELLoREE, Nov. 3.-Friday Mosley, a
former student of Clafin university, with
his accomplice, Jesse Gadsden, attempted
rather sharp trick here the other day on
one of the merchants. Mosley brought a
bale of cotton to town which was weighed
and numbered by local CottonNWeigher
F. b. Dantzler~ The negro erased the
figure and substituted 2. He was paid
by the firm of Ulmer & Trick for two
bales. Shortly afterwards it was discov-
cred by another party having the same
number as one of Mosley's bales that the
darkies had only one bale of cotton.
Search was made for them and they were
soon captured with the money, which
one of the negroes had carefully deposit
ed in his shoes.

CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

LockiaW, or tetanus, is caused BY q
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused by
percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm freely as soon as the injury is re-,
ceived. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and
causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to
heal without maturation and in one third
the time required by usual treatment. It

ROOSEVELT CARRIES EVERY DOUBTFUL

Maryland 60 for Roosevelt.
The election Tuesday was nota great
surprise to many people, for they fully
expected Roosevelt to defeat Parker, but
that the victory of the Republicans would
be so overwhelming was not supposed.
Every doubtful State went Republican for
president, even West Virginia and Mary
land.
W. L. Douglas, the great shoe man,
who is Democrat, was elected governor
of Massachusetts,.
Joe Folk, the great Democratic reform
er, was elected governor of Missouri, al
though the Republicans are still claiming g
a victory in that State.
Roosevelt carried the State of New
York by 900 majority, and the Repub'
lican candidate for governor in that State
is elected by about $1,000 majority. In
the city of New York Parker's vote was
less than Bryan's in 1900, and Roosevelt
made great gains over McKinley's vote in
the city. In fact Roosevelt was elected
president by much larger vote than Nc
Kinley received in 1900, and Judge Parker
fell away behind Bryan's vote all along
the line.
Roosevelt is certain of 325 electora
votes against Isl for Parker. The Dem
ocratic candidate took his defeat grace
fully and sent d telegram to Roosevelt.
In South Carolina the election was very
quiet. Few Republican votes were cast
the negroes in many places not paying
any attention to the election or offering
to vote. All the Democratic congress
men were elected, but no doubt the Re-
publican candidates will make contest.
In Cherokee county an election was
held on the question of voting the dis
pensary out of that county, this being the
first election held under the provisions Of
the Brice bill. The dispensary was over
whelmingly voted out, the vote being
about six to one. Ed. DeCamp can take
large part of the credit for this to him.
self.
In Greenville county Walker was elect
ed county supervisor over speegle, defeat
ing him by large majority. Our readers
will remember this contest. The execu-
tive committee finally declared Speegle
the nominee of the Democratic primary
and Walker ran in the general election.
Walkers election was not surprise, as
most of the Democratic clubs in the
county resented the committees action
and endorsed his candidacy in the general
election. sr
All the constitutional amendments ap-
pear to have been carried by good, safe
maiorities.

The COlIetOn Scandal.

The story which comes from Colleton
again concerning the convicted murderer
Adams is indeed one of the most extraor-
dinary narratives on record in South Caro-
lima.
That man convicted by jury and
sentenced to death should walk abroad
without restraint or attempt at restraint
is anarchy pure and simple. One man
has defed the law and nullifed the de-
crees of the court, setting at naught the
whole power of the State government.
Such thing would not be possible, of
course, in any county where the sheriff
had the desire to do his duty. But the
sherihf's course has been practically en-
dorsed by the people of Colleton county,
since they have reelected him to that Of
fee. The escape of Adams took place
before the primary election, and that he
was in the county unmolested was known
during the campaign, yet the sheriff re-
sponsible for this condition was renomi-
mated over several competitors. He may
now consider, therefore, that his disre-
gard of duty is approved by the people to
whom he owes his Office.
But there are other law officers in Col
Teton county. Any constable or other
peace officer may arrest Adams and by
presenting him to the sheriff compel his
incarceration.
There are other law officers than those
in Colleton county, and it does seem that
the time has come for some other officer
than the sheriff of that county to be sent
there to put this escaped convict where
he belong gs-in prison.-The State.
