Well Known Mining Man Says Con

ditions Are Bad, as Reported.
c. A. Turner, a miner and pros
pector who is well known in many
Northwestern mining camps, arrived
In Portland yesterday from Tonopah,
and Goldfield, sore in body, wiser,
but wearied in mind and thoroughly
disgusted with himself for having
been tempted to drift with the crowd
into a boom camp" as he charac-
terizes the Nevada desert district,
says the Portland Telegram.
Four months ago Mr.. Turner, who
is a pioneer prospector left Baker
City for the new Eldorado. He spent
three and a half months in the camps
and says that II he had been detained
10 days longer he would never have
come out alive. Maladies developing
from the breathing Of dust that arises
from the soil are prevalent, and con-
ditlons are not at all inviting, in his
judgment.
"There is something in the soil al
Tonopah that inflames the mucui
membrane and particles breathed into
the lungs cause great Distress" ht
said. His lips are still sore, although
now rapidly healing, and he referred
to their inflammation as an example
of what happens with many persons

Repairs on Heppner Hospital.

The repair work at the new hospi-
tai is nearing completion, which
would have been finished up this
week, but for the serious illness OF
Mrs. Geo. Conser, who is being treat
ed there. When completed it will ac-
commodate about IL patients, which
will probably meet the demands fol
the present at least. Heppner has
long NEEDED such an institution and
the enterprise of Drs. Higgs, Kistner
and Winnard in providing one is duly
appreciated. For the present two
trained nurses will be employed with
Miss Cronan as head nurse. Others
will be employed as the demands re-

The coming wool clip of Morrow

during the past year have been very

been plenty of feed and sheep have

Mrs. George Hays, living at No. 223

Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers
from backache and other kidney ills,
with utmost confidence that they will
do everything that has been claimed
for them by those who have used
them, as well as by the makers. The
trouble for which l used them was
principally backache, with which
had been troubled for a long time.
It hurt me badly when 1 stopped to
do any housework that caused a
strain on the back. 1 read an adver-
tisement about Doan's Kidney Pills,
and decided to try them, feeling that
they could not harm, even il they did
no good. 1 got a box in the store
of Brock & McComas Co. and used
only one box, as that was sufficient
to relieve the backache and 1 have

WORKING FOR GALA WEEK.

At a meeting last Fridai Of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Fall Festival
to be given by the Sumter Light In
fantry many matters Of importnce
pertaining to the arrangements for
gala week were discussed
One of the most important things
determined upon was to request the
assistance of some Of the committee
men who helped to make last year S
Fall Festival such g great success. The
boys do not desire to entail any work
upon these geneltmen. but they feel as
if they need their advice and counsel
in the mana cement Of the various
phases Of the enterprise that Will pre-
sent many new problems to the youth
full members of the company. Several
gentlemen have already signiGed their
willingness to lend their assistance.
and there is no DOUBT entertained but
that every business man in Sumte-
will be willing to lend to this laudaple
cause his very best efforts.
A committee will call upon the
merchants and professional men of
the city and ask for financial aid. Ev-
cry man that contributed to the Fall
Festival last year regarded his money
as we'll invested, and as the fruits Of
the former undertaking are still be-
ing felt, there is reason to believe that
the subscriptions to the gala week
fund will be large and numerous.
It will not be the company's festival
alone, but week of general rejoic-
ing and mesHy-making for every man,
woman and Child on Sumter There
fore, it is to your interest to see to it
that the gala week Of the Sumter
Light Infantry is a success.

THE MURRAY CASE.

~rhe case of George washington
Mnrrav former congressman, the
largest land owner in Sumter county
ana the convicted forger, is one OF
more than ordinary Importance. Dur
sng the pendency Of the case IN the
Court of General Sessions and While
IT was in appeal before the Supreme
Court we resrained from comment
publishing only the facts as oevel-
oped in the course Of the trial. since

of a newspaper to express opinions
respecting any cause that is before
fhe courts. or may come before them,
sor determination, for the reason thai
opinions so publicly expressed may
exert a prejudicial effect either for or
against the person or persons whose
rights are involved
Now, however, the Murray case
having been passed upon by the court
OF last resort, the issues now inVolvec
ere not the personal or property
rsghas OF the defendant Murray, but
a xnnral question affecting the public
at barge. Consequently we feel that i
is nos only our right, but duty VIZ
owe the pubic, to record certain wei
ae6ned views on the present status o.
the case.

forged instrument, as charged in the
Indictment.
Following the announcement Of the
decision Of the Supreme Court sus-
tanning the verdict Of the lower court
Murray's attorneys stated that an
effort would be made to reopen the
case, and failing in that, a petition for
pardon would be presented to the
governor.
To pardon Murray, in the circum-
stances, would be a miscarriage OF
Justice and slap in the face of the
courts, and would have a most un-
fortunate effect upon sthe public at
large. If Murrav is guilty as charged
in the indictment, and as jury of in
telligent and honorable citizens and
the Supreme Court have declared him
to be. then he should be punished as
the law provides. SO far as we are IN
formed there are no extenuating cir
cumstances nor is there any good and
sufficient reason why he should be;
special1y favored and allowed to es-
cape the penalty the la.s of the State
of South Carolina provides for the Of
fense of which he stands convicted.
That he has been for years a leader
OF his race, that he is a rich man,
that he is the largest land owner III
the county, that he has represented
South Carolina in the Congress Of the
United States, that he has large ana
important business interests, are~not
reasons sufficiently good to constitute
grounds for his pardon by the COVER
nor Of the State. If convicted crlml-
nails are to be pardoned for such rea-
sons, then only the poor and obscure
need fear the lash of the law for
crimes committed. We syn1pathize
with Murray in the disgrace and mis-
fortune which has befallen him as a
consequence Of his own wrong doing,
but this is not q case to be deter
mined by sympathy or sentiment; t
is clearly and simply matter OF the
enforcement or non-enforcement OF
Just sentence of a court of justice.
Murray deserves high praise for what
he has accomplished by his own un-
aided efforts in elevating himself from
sphere of poverty and ignorance to
one of aff1uence, influence and intelll-
gence. But his offense is ali the
more blameworthy and calls for more
severe punishment in that it was COM
mitted by a man of intelligence and
wealth, who had neither the excuse of
ignorance nor the stress of neces-
sity to offer for his crime. Having
followed the case carefully and given
it serious consideration we are firmly
convinced that for a pardon to be
granted George Washington Murray
would be wrong and would have
far-reaching influence for evil in Sum-
ter county.

WHERE TO HOLD COTTON.

It is stated on reliable authority
that cutie a number Of Sumter coun-
ty farmers, who are holding cotton for
higher prices, have shipped and are
still shipping large part Of their
crops to the ports ior storage. TIL.
is better than selling at present prices.
of course. as it keeps the actual cotton
out of the hands Of the SPECTATORS
and spinners, but in one respect i
serves the purpose Of those who arc
manipulating the future market and
beating down the price Of cotton even
better than if the cotton was sold by
the farmers. Every bale of cotton
shipped to the ports is counted IN the
mort receipts and goes to swell the
visible supply" which is the ali
nowerfuI bludgeon with which the
.sneculators beat down the price. 1t
makes no difference whether the cot
ton sent to the ports is held in storage
subject to the order of the men Who
grew it or is sent directly to the mills
TO be spun into yarn and woven into
cloth the spectators count it as re-
ceipts at the ports and it goes into
the visible supply. Heavy port re-
ceipts are followed usually by a break
in prices, and the more cotton the
farmers send 70 the ports for storage
the longer it will be before the price
will advance. Enough Cotton has beeH
sold to supply the immediate needs OF
the manufacturers and they do no:
have TO purchase to keep their mills
running. It suits their purpose fal
better for the farmers to pay the stor-
age and interest charges on the cotton
than to pay it themselves and it suits
the speculators for they have the Wis
ible supply with which to hammer
the market. The conclusion of tbs
matter is that the farmers should store
their cotton in local interior ware
houses, or keep it at home. Wher'
there arr, no warehouses within reach
and thereby prevent the speculator
from counting their cotton as visible
supp,y to the farmers detriment. The
way to force those who need cotton
to pay the price that it is worth is t
hold it until they must have it to Keel
mills running and the way to keel
the spectators from hammerln'
down the price is to keep the cotto1
out of sight-keep it out Of the 'poi
receipts
