Alliance Exchange to Have Receiver.
[The State, April 19th.]

luo oIdlo, ApTil lVCn.
The Supreme Court has decided
against the Farmers Alliance Ex-
change in the somewhat celebrated
"Brookshire case. The late III. E..
Brookshire, of Greenville county,
brought suit against the directors Of
the Alliance to have a receiver ap.
pointed for the purpose of distribu-
ting the fund which was on hand
when the Alliance Exchange discon.
tinued its business.
There was lot of legal sparring
on both sides, the case having been
pending for about two years and the
decision handed down by the Su-
preme Court yesterday means that
the decree of Judge Earnest Gary is
upheld. Judge Gary, after review
ing the evidence taken before the
Master in Equity, ruled that a re-
ceiver should be appointed. The
action of the Supreme Court puts
the matter back into the hands of the
Circuit Court to see that the order is
executed. The directors of the AL.
lance Exchange had already put up
bond sufficient to cover the amount
in bank, $4,000.
Brookshire and those whom he
represented in his complaint, urged
that this money should be divided
among the members of the sub. AL
liances of the State. The directors
of the Alliance Exchange wanted to
keep the whole intact and drawing
interest. Quite lot of feeling was
worked up over the case at one time
G. Duncan Bellinger represents the
plaintiff, Brookshire, and Lyles &
McMahan and Hunt, Hunt & Hun.
ter, of Newberry, represent the AL
lance Exchange directors.
Another decision of interest
handed down by the Supreme Court
yesterday was in the case of the
State of South Carolina against
Bugg. This action was brought in
the courts to find the heirs, if any,
to piece of property in the city of
Columbia. Pamela Bugg died intes-
tate, and by the action of the
Court the property becomes es-
cheated and belongs to the State OF
South Carolina through the Sinking
Fund Commission.

Amount Of Fertilizer Tags Sold.

Last week the firm of Alexander
Sprunt q Son, cotton factors of
Wilmington, N. c., wrote to the au-
thorities of the fertilizer department
at Clemson College, asking 'or infor-
nation as to the amount of fertilizer
tags sold this season. Replying Col.
r. w. Simpson, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, gives these fig
ures Amount received to this date
last year, $104,609; amount received
to end of season, June 30, 1904,
S1O6,730. This amount was almost
exclusively for fertilizer, but little
for meal. Redeemed tags sold in
1904, round numbers, $4,000, leav-
ing amount of fertilizers tags actu-
ally sold and used in 1904, 500, 300.
Amount received in 1905 to date
S125,023. Amount for cotton seed
meal for feeding purposes, $19,413.75,
making total of S105,6O9. 1t has
been ascertained that large number
of tags have been purchased more
than were necessary-any one may
well understand for what purpose
and which will have to be redeemed
according to our rules and estimated
to be 100000, leaving actual amount
purchased to be used this year,

an argument that acreage reduction

A bill to prevent any divorced per-
son from marrying again within one
year has been passed by both houses
of the Illinois Legislature. In urging
this measure member declared that
last year there were 5000 divorce
cases in the State, outside of Chicago,
and 1920 divorces were granted.
When infidelity is involved the bill
prohibits the guilty party from marry
ing within two years. The penalty
for violating the law is from one to
three years in the penitentiary and
the annulment of the marriage.

A New York man who died at the
age OF 1O4 years, few days ago, had
the same things for breakfast during
the last ninety years-coffoe and
doughnuts or crullers, followed by a
pipe of tobacco. This is a sad case
for dietary reformers to consider, but
probably they will maintain that he
would have lived twenty years longer
but for the coffee, doughnuts and to-
bacco.

The Philippine Census.

The Philippine census reports are
in, and from the bulletin sent out by
the Federal government many inter-
esting facts are to be gleaned--or ap-
propriate facts, for it does not seem
possible that the figures can be even
30 accurate as those compiled in the
United States census.
The archipelago consists of 342
independent groupes of islands, with
an aggregate population of 1866, ,426.
About 9 per cent are wild tribes the
remainder "more or less civilized"-
chiefly less. All are Catholics in re-
ligion. There are only four cities of
over 10000 population. Three. fifths
of the people live in villages. There
are only $4,000 foreigners and three
fourths of these are Chinese. The
population has quadrupled in 100
years.
The line of demarkation between
the tribes is closely drawn. The peo.
pie are too clannish to marry outside
their tribes. There are as many fe
males, practically, as males, but only
one-third of the population ia mar
ried.
Only about half the population can
read any language. Less than that
per cent can write. Onlyl one-fifth
can both read and write. The col
lege educated form about II per cent
of the total.
The mass of the people cultivate
small patches of ground and gardens
and fish and hunt. The women are
expert weavers. Among the ''isay-
ans are fine needle. women, emDroid-
erers, lace makers, etc.
The vital statistics show that the
people develop early, marry early
and die early-S2 per cent before the
age of fifty. Malaria carries away
81 per cent, cholera 33 per cent. Con-
tagious diseases can scarcely be con-
trolled on account of the ignorance
as to sanitation, etc.
The most encouraging thing is the
growth of education. Five per cent
of the populations against 20 per
cent in this country--are in the
schools. There are 5000 teachers of
whom four-fifths are native. There
is great need of more schools and
teachers.
Hemp is the most valuable export,
forming two thirds of the total. Su-
gar is next. Pauperism, except in
times Of distress is unknown. The
people are willing to work and under
competent direction are good la
borers. So say uncle Sans census
takers.-Atlanta Journal.

End Of a Law Suit.
Henderson MALL

AHucTSOu MAIL.
Stable manure is real estate. This
is the substance of decision Just
handed down by the South Carolina
Supreme Court. The famous case of
Roberts VS.. Jones has been decided.
This is case that has been plugging
along in the magistrates courts and
the Circuit Court in this county for
the past four years, and some months
ago landed in the Supreme Court.
The facts of the case are as follows ::
In 1900 j. II. G. Jones, the
county dispenser, rented house and
small piece of land from J. II.
Roberts, in the upper part of the city.
When Mr.. Jones vacated the prem
ises at the end of the year he carried
several wagon loads of stable manure
with him, as he thought he had a
right to do. Mr.. Roberts objected
to the removal of the manure, claim
ing that it was real estate and be-
longed to the soil, and demanded
that Mr.. Jones pay him for it or re-
turn it. Mr.. Jones refused to do
either, and Mr.. Roberts thereupon
started suit in the magistrates court
for the value of the manure, which
he placed at $l2.
Mr.. Jones won in the first round,
and then the case went up to the
Circuit Court, where it was reversed
and sent back to the magistrate. 1t
has followed shuttlecook course
ever since, going from one magistrate
to another and back to the Circuit
Court, on one point and another,
until not long ago it got up to the
Supreme Court. The presumption is
that the Supreme Court has been
studying it ever since. The decis-
ion of the court, just handed down,
is in Mr.. Roberts favor. Mr.. Jones
will have to pay for the manure and
pay sundry costs besides. The case
has been one of the most interesting,
as well as one of the most unique,
ever started in Anderson county.
The outcome has been awaited with
great deal Of interest by the law
yers as well as by the laity.
