Sour Grapes, Judge.

The charge that Judge Tucker per mitted pretty girl to sit OF his knee comes with bad grace from Arizona attorneys. If there is a member of the bar association of Arizona. from Mark Smith, its president, that would not do likewise, we would like to have his photograph. Gentlemen of the bar of Arizona, you have yet to dig up some thing more cut Of the ordinary than that to qualify a man frcm holding office in this territory. That old Adam habit isn't confined to attorneys alone. Even an Arizona editor would enjoy an out ing of that kind if he. could find a vic tim.-Phoenix Enterprise.

Drs. Ketcherside and Ap John amp utated the arm about three inches above the elbow. The injured man came out of the ordeal strong. and this morning he was sent to the California hospital, Los Angeles.

Again in Trouble.

I;ito Ramirez, who was recently re- leased from the territorial prison through technicaIity of the jaw, was again in trouble for short time this week. lie was charged with giving wine to two Indian squaws. Before Justice Redondo in the territory case he was given a five days jail sentence. 4 deputy United States marshal, how ever, was appraised of the circumstances of the case and had complaint made be- fore United States Commissioner Mol Joy and he was tried on this complaint yesterday. The evidence appeared to be not strong enough against Ramirez to justify the Commissioner in binding him over to the United States grand lury, and he was discharged with the injunction to mot do it again."

Cotton Gambler Does Great

Congressman johnson Hits t
Spectators in House. As
sails New York People
Who Attempt to Die
tate the Price.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Under
the license of debate, Mr.. John.
son, of South Carolina, devoted
himself to n discussion of the cot
ton question, in the uouse today.
He called attention to what be
said was a Systematic effort unfor-
tunately successful, to bear down
the price of cotton, and asserted
that there was no justification for
such brutal campaign of decep-
ton and misrepresentation. 81
know" he said, "there are some
kid glove gentry IN New York
who would not know a cotton
patch from pea patch; who are
undertaking to tell the worl d that
heSouthern farmer can make cot
ton at four and half cents" If
be had the power, he said, be
would have every man who gam
bIed In cotton on the New l ork
cotton exchange, and who said
cotton can be produced at four
and "a half cents, "go down aud
within his own naked hands, pull
the bell cord over a mule and
make cotton at their price.
Mr.. Douglas, Of New York in
terjected the remark that most of
the men speculatlng on the New
York exchange were Southern
men, which caused Mr.. johnson
to declare that whether they were
Southern men or not they were
enemies Of the Southern people,
and of peopl of good morals
everywhere. The people of the
South, he said, were holding cot
ton which they had no more idea
Of PARTING with at the present
.bcLqn the owners of United
States bonds had of selling them

He predicted that before Sep

splndies in the United States and
abroad would be idle because of
their inability to get cotton to !

Utica 10 from postage que stamps.
AS this would leave oversee to be
cancelled in that way, the govern
ment contended that her account
was beyond all reason and trat
therefore the account was not a
true but padded one. To strength
en- this contention, Postmaster
Mackey, who succeeded Mrs Mil
ler, was put on the stand, and he
testified to the amounts cancelled
monthly by him since he had been
In charge of the Office. In no
case did the amount 60 higher than
$50 and in most of the months It
was around $40.
To Offset the governments con
tcntion the defense put up several
travelling men who testified, that
they had made it point to mail
letters through the Heath Springs
Office while Mrs. Miller had charge
of it and that they did this because
Mrs. Miller, as the keeper of the
hotel there, had been kind to
them and they wanted to help her
10 every way possible. One wit
ness testified that he and others
had frequently passed by other
Offices, knowing they were going
to Heath Springs in order to mail
the letters from Mrs. Miller's Of
fee. Prominent business and pro
fessional men testified to similar
action on their part, and further
that they had not done 30 since
Mrs. Miller gave up the Office.
The star witness of the trial was
Miss Miller, eldest daughter of the
defendant, and during tho month
of September assistant postn. is
tress. Many who have had long
experience in studying witnesses
declared that she was the most com.
posed female witness they had ever
seen. Nothing ruffled her aud if
she was in the least excited abe
controlled herself so perfectly that
no one cauld detect even tremor
in her voice.
Argument for the defense was
made by Attorney Blakeney of
Kershaw. Assistant District At.
torney Cochran made the argu-
ment for the prosecution.
Judge Brawley charged the jury
in succlnct statements, explaining
the case and informing them that
tho crime charged was a misde-
meanor and punishable by fine
and imprisonment, or by a fine
only, a matter left to the discre
tion of the presiding Judge who
would be governed by the nature Q
OF their verdict. The jury return
ed verdict Of not guilty.

Mrs. Miller Acquitted in
Federal Court.
A Case of Interest to Fourth Class
Postmastors. Question of Cnn-
celled Stamps.
The State 18th Inst.

ali day yesterday with the t.ial of
Mrs. Frances Miller, formrely
postmistress at Heath springs, in
Lancaster county, about six miles
north of Kershaw on the Southern
railway. The indictment charged
Mrs. Miller wish making false
returns to the auditor of the
postotfice department by padding
her acco ant of cancelled stamps.
The case was given to the jury
at six o'clock yesterday evening.
The jury remained out 10 minutes
and returned verdict of not gull
ty.
The case excited much interest
and the court room was filed oil
day with interested listeners. 1t
will be of peculiar interest to the
hundreds of fourth class postmas-
ters over the country, and will be
more SO when it is stated that it
Is perhaps the only case reported
In which the postmaster made
regular canvassinS trips in the in
terests of the letter mailing busi-
ness and was 80 successful in solic-
lting business that she had per
sons living miles away who would
send her letters to be mailed at
her office instead of mailing them
at the Office in their own towns.
For the benefit of those who do
not know why it would be for
financial benefit to Mrs. Miller
to have her friends do this, it
must be stated that Uncls Sam
does not pay any salary to his four
th class postmasters. In lieu of
salary they are given certain
percentage of the stamps which
they cancel at their respective Of
tices. 1tis true that they have to
buy these stamps from the depart
ment and pay their face value for
them, but after they are resold to
the patrons of the office the post
master is allowed as compensation
for his or her services certain
per cent. On the first $50, 100
per cent, or the entire amount is
allowed the postmaster; on the
second $50, so per cept of the
amount cancelled is allowed the
postmaster; and on the third $50,
SO per cent.
The offence, therefore, with
which Mrs Miller was charged was
that she claimed in her quarterly
returns to the postoffice depart
ment to have cancelled more
stamps at her Office than she real-
ly did occording to check which
had been placed upon tho office by
Postofiice Inspector Pulsipher.
1t was alleged that this was done
in the month of September, 1902.
The amount claimed by Mrs.
Miller in her returns for the
month was $9O.9s. The amount
to which she was entitled is al
legged by the government to have
been only $37. 80. This amount
was arrived at in the following
manner: The railway postal clerks
passing Heath Sprnig were IN
structed by Inspector Pulsipher to
keep tab on all the letters and
packages mailed at Heath Springs
which passed through their hands
during the month of september.
There was another outlet for mail
sent out from Aeath Springs and
that was through a star mail rout
to Magill. The postmaster at
this little Office was also instruct
ed to keep tab on all Heath Spring
matters. The amount reported to
the inspector from these outlets
