Chnd'S Marrow Escape.

Keturah Dickcy, the 4~-year.old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ID. A Dickey,
had n marrow escape from death We'd
uesday afternoon. She and some
other children were playing near Il
burning trash pile at the Dickey home
when her dress caught fire, She ran
screaming toward the house aud her
cries attracted her brother Bert, who
went to her assistance. He wrapped
mn old piece of carpet around her aud
rolled her on the ground, eXtinguish-
ing the flames. Her face was scorched,
her hair singed and one of her arms
badly burned The fact that the little
one wore heavy WOODEN underclothing
probably saved her from more severe
burns, and the promptness' and pres,
euce of mind of her brother undoubt
eddy saved her life

That the men Of the medical profess

However, he consulted n physician as

diagnosticated the case as small pox,
and put up n quarantine sign. Not
being satisfied with this, Mr.. Griffith
called In two other physicians, who
pronounced the disease eczema and.

The first physician wired for DR.
Towne, the special examiner for the
state board of health. who came here
Tuesday morning After investigat-
ing the case he recommended that Mr..

though he did not state positively that

If he has got it, he has had it for four

Only Cases Of Minor Importance Sc
Far Disposed 81.

Judge Adams has been holding court
this week, but there has been little of
interest to the general public in the
proceedings.
Tho case of the State VS.. Grant
Blackman, for horse stealing, who is
now In the ponitcntinry serving II sen
tcnce for the same %oifense, was con
tinuod.
In tho case of tina State VS. &. II
Campbell, charged with cmbezzlcment,
continuance was taken until the May
term, but as that is not IA jury term it
is hardly probable the case will come
to trial before November. Campbell's
bond was retained ut $1,000, in defanlt
of which he was committed to Jail
Harriet A. Howard vs.. City of Red
Cloud; suit for damages; continued.
The suit of A. II. Carpenter against
Gus Pundt, in which Carpenter was
suing for u commission of 800 in II
land deal, resulted in IL verdict for
80 for plaintiff.
The cases of A. X. Haas, Il. Scher-
merhcrn and ID. b. Hopper VS.. Peter
Nelson ct al, from Rosemont, in which
the plaintiffs asked $500 damages in IA

Lucinda Lawrence was granted a
divorce from Henry Lawrence, and
Nellie +, Hedrick was granted Il
divorce from Allen l.. Hedrick.
Frank Vavricka failed to secure n
divorce from Emma Vavricka. Judge
Adams took the case under advise
mrnt and in the course of his remarks
delivered u lecture to the young
couple, telliog them they were acting
like n couple of children, and that
should he grant II divorce it would not
be six months before they would want

CASE.
Question Of MIS- Sanity May d
Passed UuDOn Soon.

Before the last word is given in the
case OF Frank Barker, who has been
sentenced to hang on June 10, the
probability is that a special commits
sion will sit upon his case and deter
mine whether he is insane. The law
that was passed compelling the warden
OF the penitentiary to carry out all the
death sentences administered i'm the
state also provided a means for the
examination of the convicted person
as to his sanity As the question of
Barker's soundness of mind has been
raised, the request will be made that
such "a commission be named. The
warden is determined to have the
question settled before h. carries out
the order of the court In the event
the man is found to be insane he will
be committed to the asylum pending a
cure ia the event of successful
treatment he would again be liable to
the infliction of the death penalty.
The county insanity commission has
no jurisdiction, it is said
There are two conflicting statutes
on the subject, both O. acted at the
same session of the legislature, but
that requiring the converting of "A
special commission by the governor is
the last to take effect, and it is be-
lieved that it would be upheld i'm the
event of IA conflict. The commission
provided for is made up of the physi-
clan of the state ~penitentiary, the
superintendent of the hospital for the
insane at Lincoln, and one of the
secretaries of the state board of health
to be determined by the governor,
known collectively as the ~penitentiary
medical board. State Journal.

Suits for Libel.

A eitisen OF Charleston has entered suit for
$4,000 damages against the News and Courier
n the Evening Post OF that city because he
was referred TO a. "eolored". The attorney
for the defense erred In citing the 18TH, the
or excuse for the error. The right way to
have, lone was for the defendants to admit
the mistake, and then make all the necessary
corrections. Nobody would believe that
either Of tho newspapers Intentionally OF, ma.
lioiously published Q white mar as"colored."
For this reason suitable apologies or explans-
lions should have been sufficient. There GER
tsinly was no malice in this publication.
Tho other suit 10 instituted BY n. n. Evans
against the lBarnwell Sentinel. While It
seems strange that . little paper down In
Barnwell should have been the subject Of Mr..
Evans resentment. n while, we would be
sorry TO see a Judgment against the
Barnwell Sentinel, yet we are glad indeed
that this thing Of making reckless charges
against character will likely receive . check.
Since the obrogation> Of the duel too many
editors q disregarded the sacrsdnsss Of
character. and NO gentlsman's good name
wss safe from oolumny. We are glad hat an
oncer Of the dispensary has the courage and
The dscenoy to demand that he be treated
with at least the semblance prospect.
Nothing has appeared in the newspapers for
. long time that has been moro gratifying TO
Ms than this action OF Mr.. Evans. 1t shows
that . more healthy public sentimen,
may come about. Dsfamers OF character
should be made TO have some regard for the
proprieties and the eqaalities. II; MI. Evans
vii! strike at bigger ash than the little out Of
the way country printing Offices he will have
set . good example in doing the country q
public service. .Ha that seeks TO assassinste
character should be required 10 account
for his deed in the courts Of his country.
Nothing is 30 sacred a. character. and he that
maliciously sssaila 1t deserves punishment.
And now since Mr.. Evans has taken action,
We hops. that OTHERS may do the same when
their names are malined.

Holding Cotton.

While We have no doubt that Harvie Jor.
dan and his associates have kept up the price
Of cotton to this time, yet we are afraid that
farmers themselves will break the best of
efforts.
In some counties the farmers. are ~agonissd
and seem very determined on both holding
their cotton n in reducing their acreage for
the coming crop, yet there are other counter
where the feeling is not 20 pronounced and
where the action OF the farmers 10 not unani.
nous.
Speaking for the Press and Banner we are
sorry for the existing conditions In Abbeville
County. For two weeks cotton has been com.
Ing on the market pretty freely, and the sales
Of fertilizers has been about as much ~ hero
tofore at this season. The few farmers that
We have spoken to on the subject OF reduc-
ton OF acreage do not give evidence Of inten.
ton to reduce. Some Of them reduced their
acreage" years ago. And from the reports
nom other markets, We are inclined TO be.
lieve that there 10 danger of breaking down
tho force OF Harvie Jordsn's efforts. The
mills are getting cotton, and the amount Of
cotton that Is going to market would seem T.
be sufficient for present purposes. Texas is
reported to have sold O quarter million las,
week.
b 10 one effort in which the farmers had
the hearty sympathy and the active help OF
the banks, the merchants. and tho cotton
mill men.
With all this power and influences at their
back II would be . matter OF regret TO SEQ the
planters fail In Q most laudabls and patriotic
effort. The outlook at this time indicates the
peril Of the situstion, and the apparent vii.
lingness TO put cotton on the market, may
have it, legitimate effect.
Let no man be scared al talk of developing
the cultivation Of cotton In other countries.
We have heard that talk for nifty years.
We are unable to give advice to any body,
but We hin We can state as q fact that II the
farmers sell their cotton Hsrvie Jordan
might just az we'll shut up his ofioe and 60
home. Even II the farmers stick to him. they
may still have to sell their cotton at . low
rice And there you are.

The Water Supply.

The town authorities have long been
at work on this momentous question
as the water supply was not adequate
after the Introduction Of the sewerage
system. There IL an ample supply Of
water near the pumping station but it
was not considered pure enough to be
be used for the clty's water supply.
The council went elsewhere to find it
and found 1t in abundance. The pres
ent supply comes from near the An
crum place, about n mile above the
pumping station. At this place there
are . number of springs Of pure water,
with nothing to contaminate the water
or render it unfit for use. From this
place q six inch pipe has been laid to
the. pump to conduct the water to the
reservoir. This work was not done by
a contractor, but was planned by the
city council and executed by MI. J. L.
johnson Of the city police force, conse-
quently at q minimum cost to the town.
The work was just as efficiently done,
however, as it vas possible to be done.
The pipe will fill the reservoir in TWEEN
ty-four hours. which means about, $50,
600 gallons of water per day, 100000
gallons Of clear, clean, sparkling, whole
some water per day, what a boon.
While this water is as pure as any
spring water the council has decided
to make assurance doubly sure by put
ting in a filter, and when this Ia done
our water supply will be second to
none in this country. There will be
no more Of that whats the matter
with the water?" we have heard 80 Of
ten of late, and provided the authori-
ties; will put in meters where the con-
sumers expect to raise beans with the
water supply, there will always be
enough aud to spare. Some seem to
look on it more a. an irrigation plant
than a city water supply. The city Is
to be congratulated upon having this,
vexed question 80 satisfactorily settled.
