OF course, we never expect to read
those private" papers that Big Chief
Dispenser Farnum hurriedly sent be

tors were in pursuit, but we acknowl-
edge to curiosity. We have an abid-

hustled over the border, would make
mighty interesting reading.-Columbia

When we smell something rotten and
say so. they cfy out, prove It." and
when we are about to lay our hands
on the facts. they tie us up In the
courts. Maybe we'll never get to see
those papers; but If the papers don't
come up, we will always believe that
it was because the dispensary man

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.

From what is being done and from
what Is in immediate view, there will
be at least a half a dozen new school
houses ready for use In different parts
of the county before the close OF the
present summer. and this fact may be
nut down as at least creditsble to the
progress of the people.
The rebuilding Of the Massey school
house in Fort Mill township. Is now
well under way. When completed the
building will cost between $500 and
$3.50.
Plans have been completed, and the
trustees are about ready to let the
contract for the Riverside school house
near r. ]. H. Sutton's in Fort Mill
township. The building Is to cost be-
tween $3.50 and $500.
The new building at Oak Ridge near
Riddles Mill, Is to be a handsome two
story structure and will not cost less
than $500. The class and cloak rooms
are to be down stairs and there Is to
be an assembly hall in the upper story
Beersheba Is to have single room
one story building that Is to cost from
$500 to $3.50.
The Sutton Springs school house,
which Is now being erected within a
quarter of a mile Of the spring Is to
cost about $500. 1t Is to have two
rooms.
The trustees Of the Hoodtown school

erecting a new building. No definite
action has been taken yet; but some
thing will be done shortly.

THE gentlemen who eight months
ago advised the Southern farmers TO
burn 100000 bales of cotton. In order
to raise the price, are now breaking
all records in keeping quiet. For
meekness Moses couldn't hold a candle
to them-News and Courier.
We submit that filings at these gen.
tlemen are unfair and uncalled for.
We don't mean that the News and
Courier is Intentionally unfair; for 1t
Is not. But it Is our deliberate opin-
ion that the burning idea was a good
one and helped lots. Nobody really ex-
pected to burn two million bales, nor
even two thousand bales. But the sug-
gestion certainly did its part in bring
ing the attention of the farmers to the
seriousness of the situation, and the
people who originated the idea are en-
titled to chromos, II not something bet
ter. That Is what we think of the
burning idea.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1905.

Is it not quite possible that the prin-

pie who have been caught crooked In
connection with the cotton report leaks
lies In the probability Of still more ex-
tensive exposures? We confess to
suspicion along that line.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATIoN.-
Because they are Democrats and the
house Is so overwhelmingly Repub-
lican, the members of the South
Carolina congressional delegation
have but little show on the various
committees. Congressman Finley
stands higher than any other mem
Der of the delegation. The Washing
ton correspondent of the News and
Courier sizes up the situation as
follows:
There is plenty of room for pro-
motion In the South Carolina dele
cation, so far as committee assign
ments are concerned. The changes
In the delegation have been so fire.
quent that the members have not
been afforded an opportunity to
work up to some of the big commit
tees. Long service In the house
cuts an important figure In tie CON
struction of the committees. South
Carolina does not appear to appreciate
that fact, and the result Is that any
old committee is regarded as good
enough for a South Carolinian, be-
cause they are not expected to stay
long.
Representative Finley has an OBJ
scure place on the postoffice com
mittee, which Is about the best that
can be said for the delegation. Rep

of the company will take out a new
charter and institute live stock insur-

COUNTING THE COIN.
Monstrous Task in the Treasury
Vaults Nearly Finished.

Down In the subterranean depths of the
treasury, amid a mass Of standard silver
dollars amounting in value to $153.OO0OOO.
of which $11S0O0,0OO has been counted. Dr.
vision Chiefs Daskam. Rogers and Hunting
ton are nearing the end Of the great work
of counting the cash preparatory to handing
the great bulk OF precious metal over to the
new treasurer.
The counting has been finished in all but
FIVE compartments each of which contains
81 100000, and this will soon be completed
and a weary work brought to an end. and
beyond a doubt the members of the COM
mittee, the clerks detailed for service in the
counting process and the official onlookers
will be glad when it is ended, not to be
gone over again until another change is
made in chief OF the treasurer's Office.
There are q host OF laborers also en-
ployed in slowing away the great masses
of tons of silver. These may not be so
happy. as their services are only temporary.
but the whole crowd will soon come out
OF the vaults and the usual gloom and quiet
will prevail. The count of the paper money
ended some weeks ago.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Unidentified Man Shoots Huckster
With Intent to Rob Him.

FAIRFAX c. H., September 4. 1905.
An aged colored man named william Har-
ris. from Briston Prince William county.
was found about two miles from Fairfax
Court House on the road leading from Falls
Church. with several bullet holes in his
body inflicted by some person as yet I'M
identified. Harris. who is a huckster. was
on his way home from Washington.
whittier he had gone to dispose OF his pro-
duce, and returning was accosted By
strange negro who asked for a ride in to
the country. Within about three miles or
the court house Harris told his companion
that owing to bad roads and having but one
horse he could not carry him further.
Harris drove on IL Is said. followed by his
late passenger for nearly mile. and when
a lonely place on the road was reached
the unknown man slipped up behind and
shot Harris in the back, and demanded his
money. He was frightened away. how
ever.
Harris was found In serious condition
by Mr. HoIdenth, who Is employed by Capt.
Willard. After medical aid was given
him he was sent to the Emergency Hospital
in Washington. The assaiant has not yet
been apprehended.
Harris was reported to be in serious
condition at the Emergency Hospital this
morning. but 1t Is believed that he may re-
cover. His son called at the hospital this
morning. He had known nothing personally

IF II policeman may arrest citizen and
rush him off to police station for doing
no more than Herschel Reese is shown by
the testimony to have done, then nobody is

Preponderance of Testimony.
According to the decided preponderance
of the evidence, young Reese had violated
no law regulation whatsoever at the
time Of his arrest. 1t appears that at the
time the arrest was made he was simply
sitting by fire on a vacant lot between
list, I'd. E and F streets northwest, with
the building kndling of which he had
nothing whatever to do, according to the
boys own testimony and that of two other
little boys-Dan SillerS and Samuel Acker-
man; that Reese had only been at the fire
very few minutes when the accused po-
liceman arrived. The policeman insists that
Reese was sitting near the fire with some
fagots In his hand" and appeared to have
been aiding in the building of the fire: but
this is positively denied by Reese and his
companions. and 1 prefer to accept the
statements of the boys as true rather than
the unsupported statement of the accused
who has a direct personal interest in the
result of the proceeding. presenting a
strong temptation to color. pervert or
withhold the facts.
II am satisfied that Reese was arrested
simply and solely because he said his name
was 'Puddin' in tame'-because he talked
back at the officer-and that this taking
back is what the charge of disorderly con-
duct was bOttomed upon.
IAN attempt was made by the accused to
show that he did not charge the boy with
dlsorderly conduct. but 1 am convinced he
did. An examination of the information
filed in the Police Court. certified copy OF
which accompanies the testimony. will show
that the accused deliberately swore that
Reese engaged in disorderly conduct on
California street northeast on the day he
was arrested and In a place wherefrom
the same could be heard in said street
The attention of the prosecuting attor-
ney at the Police Court was called to the
case against Reese, on April 10, 1905, and
