Soldier Law Held Unconstitutional.

In ruling upon the demurrer in the
case of G. A. Shaw VS.. the City Coun-
Gil of Marshalltown. Judge Caswell of
the district court held on Saturday
that the soldier preference law passed
by the last general assembly was un-
constitutional. The city demurred to
the petition of Shaw asking for writ
of mandamus to compel the council to
appoint him city clerk. instead of L..
Derby, the present incumbent. under
the provisions of the new law grant
ing the preference to honorably dis.
charged soldiers of the civil war for
the appointment to public positions.
To the petition of Captain Shaw, City
Solicitor @. Fl. Van Law filed de-
murrer on the ground that the new
law was unconstitutional, III that it
violated section 6. article 1, constitut-
ion of Iowa and section l of the
18th amendment to the constitution of
the United States. Statutory grounds
were also cited. Judge Caswell sus-
tanned the demurrer as q whole. Glass
legislation is the view taken by the
court in reference to the new law, and
because it Is declared to be class legis
lation, the court holds the law un,
constitutional.

The biennial election proposition
which voters will have chance to
vote upon at the next election is not
meeting with much favor. The senti-
ment appears to be overwhelmingly in
favor of holding an election every
year. thereby keeping the voters in
closer touch with the political situa.
tion. Elections every other year
would result in politicians getting so
thoroughly organized that the average
voter would simply know that some
thing was wrong, without being able
to tell why. The people cannot keep
in too close touch with what is being
done by office-seekers and office-hol-
ders -Clarksville Star.

OF Interest to Farmers.

Clemson College, January 1e.--Among
the agricultural classes of this State q
very widespread interest has been
awakened by the importation of what ia
claimed to be Peruvian or natural bird
guano, supplies of which were supposed
to be exhausted. Almost daily inquiries
are received by the fertilizer department
here concerning the genuineness of the
article, whether manipulated or natural
guano, etc., and in consideration of the
important interests involved and to pro-
tect both the farmers and dealers, Mr..
Stackhouse the secretary, will send an
official inspector, with long experience
in the composition and handling of ferti-
lizers, instructed to meet the vessel on
It's arrival and to make carful, thorough
examination of the material, the custom
house papers of the ships, to witness
their method of drawing their samples
and send one to this department for
analysis.

Clemson's Proud Day.

Clemson, January 19.-This was a
day that meant much for Clemson
and for South Carolinians, because it
saw the laying of the cornerstone
of an agricultural hall, which, accord
ing to Senator Tillman, represents
an effort on the part of the trustees
of the college to turn the trend of
the times toward agriculture.
There was a large crowd in at
tendance. DR.. Nell presided in
Memorial Hall and introduced Prof.
Furman, the senior member of the
faculty, who lei in prayer.
Senator Tillman made an earnest
address, giving the history of causes
that led up to the founding of the
college and history of the college
since. He showed how the college
had been turned from it's intended
course into mechanical direction
by force of circumstances and in
answer to the demand of the peo-
pie. He said that it was sad fact
that the young men we're leaving the
State to find positions. He hoped
that the founding of this building
would lead to moving the sons of
farmers to an education that would
help them make an honorable living
on the farm.
Col. Newman followed with an
eloquent speech, dealing with the
long struggle for such a building
and expressing high hopes of what
this first agricultural hall in the
South would do for South Carolina.
Col. Newman is proud man to-
night, because 80 years of his life
have been spent in working for the
cause of agricultural education.
Col. Norris followed, reading list
OF articles which he had prepared for
the cornerstone.
DR.. Nell read similar list. The
band, followed by Masons, faculty,
cadets and citizens, marched to the
new building, and all being arranged
in rows on the first floor, Grand
Master John r. Bellinger took
charge of the exercises and superin-
tended the laying of the cornerstone
according to the rites of the ancient
and honorable order of Masons. He
made most eloquent and impressive
address. Besides the Calhoun Lodge,
many prominent Masons from sur
rounding towns were present.

Governor Hayward on Lynohlna.

:. I .. l.. y
Columbia, January 20.-Goyernor
Hayward to-day sent special mes
sage to the Legislature in reference
to lynching, in which he asks for ad-
ditional legislation on that question,
or special appropriation by which
he can obtain evidence and do more
than possible now in suppressing
mob outbreaks. The message fol-
lows:
In my annual message to your
honorable body reference was made
to lawlessuess in our State, the FREE
quent occurrence of lynchings being
dwelt upon particularly. The me-
cessity of respect being paid to the
law by civilized communities was
urged in this connection. You, the
lawmakers, had not been assembled
here a week, when another evidence
of this lawless spirit is given in the
lynching at Reevesville.
The Governor is popularity credited
with the power to prevent or punish
these outrages against the State. In
reality he is practically powerless.
When notified he may sometimes
frustrate the mob by the employ
ment of troops, but when the crime
has been committed his hands are
practically tied. The meagre re-
wards he has been empowered to
offer out of his contingent fund have
proven Intellectual, and this is as far
as he is permitted to go. In the
mean time the spirit Of lawlessness
is unchecked. Any band of lawless
men may feel secure in taking the
life of fellow being on almost any
pretext. This deplorable condition
ought to be remedied. To compel
greater respect--the proper respect
for the majesty of the law l
recommend the enactment of spe-
cial legislation in reference to lynch
ing; that the great responsibility of
officials directly charged with en-
forcing the laws be brought home to
them, and that more effectual mea-
sures be taken for the apprehension
of persons who take the law into
their own hands.
In lieu of some such legislation l
suggest that the Governor be pro.
vided with an adequate fund for the
purpose of suppressing lynching; a
fund that may be used in offering
suitable rewards or in obtaining
evidence against lynchers in such
manner as may be deemed best. !,
! sincerely regret the necessity for
this, and am not desirous of addi.
tional responsibilities, but I will not
shirk any duty that the General AS
sembly may see fit to impose for the
welfare and good name of South
Carolina.

wish 20 assure you that we are highly
pleased With the job, and also to assure
you of our appreciation of your oourte-

what we wanted. My Brother, whom
you have met over at your place, searched
carefully through several city cemeteries
last spring aud summer, hoping to find q
design for top finish of cap which would
embody our ideas, and you know from
him that we failed to find it. If we had
found this job our search would have
ended there, for it meets every require
ment of our fancies. 1t is the most per-
feet in every detail of design, HARMONIC
ing from bottom to top, of any which
we have seen In any of the cemeteries
visited, and the only improvement can
suggest would be to build of finer ma
terial and more elaborate scale of di-
mensions. Yours truly,
