CONFLICTING CONFESSIONS.
Burton Who Confessed to Burning
Mr.. Boozer's Barn Makes Another
Statement-Implicates Others.

We publish in another column an
account Of the burning Of Mr.. Booz-
er's barn, which was written by a
correspondent Of the Columbia State.
So far as The Herald and News has
been able to ascertain, this story
covers all the facts in the case very
completely. =.
Burton has made so many conflict
ing statements as to connecting other
parties with it, that it is difficult to
ascertain just what the facts in the
case are. Certainly there should be
something done, and if the guilty par
ties can be definitely ascertained they
should be made to understand that
such outrageous acts as the willful
burning of barns and houses will be
dealt with very severely. This would
not only be lesson to them, but an
example to others who might be
tempted to do likewise.

FOR GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
Congressman Aiken Introduces Bill in
Congress for 100000 Building at
Newberry.

The following is the text of a bill,
which has been introduced in this con-
gress by Congressman Aiken. He has
also introduced a similar bill for Alb
beville. 1t is not probable that any
legislation will be had at this session
looking to the rection Of government
building in Newberry, but Mr.. Aiken
Is to be commended for getting the
matter agitated and started. If
Greenwood and Chester and other
towns in the same class with New
berry are to have government build
ings, there is no reason why there
should not be one at Newberry.
BY the close of the present fiscal
year it is probable that Newberry
will have free delivery of mail and
while our new post office is fitted up
with this in view and is very neat
office in every respect, it would be
much better if there was handsome
government building in this city.
In regard to the free delivery of
mail, we understand that it is govern
@! by the stamp sale. Newberry
:. Id have hal this service some
I',is ago. Our money order business
l.; Il great deal larger than a great
/ w towns. which have the free de-
l'...'N, but under the law, these things
are regulated by the sale Of stamps.
O.! course this sale would be much
larger if the people. who send off
stamps. bu. it is the custom with the
people cf Nrwbcrry, it matters little
how small the sum is to send away,
to buy money order. But the natural
increase in business and the use of
stamps for letter postage will give us
the free delivery by the end of this
fiscal year.
The following is the text Of Mr..
Aiken's bill in regard to the new
government building. and similar
bill has been introduced in the senate
by Mr. Latimer, which includes sew
cred other towns also:
A Bill For the Erection Of Public
Building at Newberry, s. G.
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress
assembled, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be, and he is hereby, author
lied and directed to acquire, by pur

suitable building. including fircproof
vaults, heating and ventilating appa-
ratus, and approaches, for the use
and accommodation of the poSt-otfice
and other offices of the Government at
Ncwberry, Newbcrry County. South

building. including said vaults, heat

party Tn possession claims real prop
 erty by right of possession only, suit
 to recover the possession from hin
 shall be brought in two years after tn
 right of action accrues, and not after
 wards, and in such case the defendan
 is not required to show title or colo
 of title from and under the sovereign ty of the soil, as provided in the pre- ceding section, as against the plaintiff who shows no better right"
 But this applies only in cases O mere possessory rights, and is without force after the passing of the full le gal or equitable title from the govern ment. Such was the construction placed on the statute by the supreme court of Arizona, and is undou btedl, correct. The language is clear. The claim of the defendant is fright ot possession only" and the limitation applies solely against "plaintiff who shows no better right" To hold that the section gives to a mere occupation of public land title by prescription against one subsequently, acquired from the United States would limit the full control of the government over its landed property, and qualify or de. stroy the effect of its patent or grant. Toltec Ranch Co. V. Cook, l9l U. S. 532, AS L. ed. POI, "A Sup. Ct. Rep. I66, does not conflict with this, for there a possession sufficient for the running of the statute of limitations was held after the full equitable title had passed from the government; and when such title has passed the land comes under the dominion of the state, and is subject to its laws. But in this case the pos- session had not been long enough to create under the Arizona laws a de- fense to title, legal or equitable; and the sole reliance was upon this section, which only applies to contests between possessory rights.
 The remaining question arises under the cross complaint of the appellant, who claims prior appropriation of all the water flowing in subterranean stream which had been reached by dig ging well, relying on these provi! sions of the Arizona Revised Statutes of 1887.
 
 "(3l99) Sec. l. All rivers, creeks, and streams of running water in the territory of Arizona are hereby de- clared public, and applicable to the purposes of irrigation and mining, as hereinafter provided"
 'I320D Sec. 3. All the. inhabitants of this territory, who own or possess arable and irrigable lands, shall have he right to construct public or priv ate acequias, and obtain the necessary water for the same from any conve- 1ient river. creek, or stream of run ng water"
 We need not stop to inquire whether hese sections apply to subterranean streams, because the finding of fact. which is sustained by the testimony, is that the only water upon said land is 'ercolating water, oozing through the oil beneath the surface in an unde- ined and unkn own channel" Of curse this excludes the idea of Ia ''river reek, or stream of running water"
 We see no error in the record, and he judgment of the supreme court of Arizona is. affirmed.

on the premises notice in accordanc,
 with the territorial act of 1886 (Ari
 zona laws, 1893, p. l35), that he hat
 appropriated all the water in certain
 defined underground channel, and re-
 corded a copy of such notice in the
 public records; that the defendant and
 his grantor had been in the exclusive,
 open and notorious possession, with
 the knowledge of plaintiff, of the land,
 improvements, and water ever since
 the year 1889, claiming by right oi
 possession only; that they had never diverted any water from the land, or
 used, or caused the same to be used, elsewhere by any person.
 Mr. Everett E. Ellinwood for appel lant.
 Mir. Edward M. Doe for appellee.
 Mir. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the court:
 The statement of facts discloses a title in the plaintiff (now appellee) sui fcient to sustain the judgment for the recovery of possession, although no patent ad been issued. Deseret Salt Co. V. Tarpey. l42 U. S. 24l, 35 L. ed 999, l2 Sup. Ct. Rep. l58.
 The certified copy of the records and papers in the general land office was evidence. Rev. Stat. eco. S9l, U. s. oinp. Stat. 1901, p. 672. This section determines the question of but not materially. Some of the letters, between the officials of the railroad company may not have been m aterial, but there was nothing In them prejudicial. The certificate of the local land officers was competent 70 show that on the records of their office were no homestead, pre-emption or other valid claims, and that the land had not been returned or denom- mated as swamp or mineral land It is rue there was no positive evidence hat there were no minerals in the land md, of course, nothing to show affirm atively that a mine might not be dis covered prior to the issue of the pat mt, but the same could have been said ,f the showing in Deseret Salt Co. V. rarpey, l42 U. S. 24l, 35 L. ed. 999, 2 Sup. Ct. Rep. l5s. While the ques- ion of mineral was not discussed at hat time, and was. first fully consid- red in Barden V. Northern P. R: Co.,, 54 U. s 2SS, 3S L. ed. 992, l4 Sup. Ct. Rep. l03O, it appears from the opinion 'f the majority. in the latter case that here was no intention to disturb the ormer ruling. Neither is there any hing in Corinne Mill, Canal & Stock 70. V. Johnson, l56 U. S. 574, 39 L. d. 537, l5 Sup Ct. Rep, 4OO, to the ontrary. In that case a judgment of he supreme court of Utah against a rantee of the railroad company was ffirmed on the ground that the record i'd not purport to contain all the evi- ence, and. under those circumstances e could not assume that there was ot evidence to fully sustain the judg- lent of the territorial court, or that it as not in fact based upon an adjudi- ation by the land department of the resence of mineral. 
 It must also be noticed that this land as within the place limits of the At 'ntic X Pacific company, and that lerefore, on the completion of the pad, and without any selection or ap- royal thereof by the secretary of the lterior, the title passed unless the act was within the excepted classes,
