Governor Hayward Removes Sheriff.

Governor Hayward last week re-
moved Sheriff M. M. Limehouse, of
Dorchester county, on account of his
being indicted by the Dorchester
grand jury for malfeasance in office,
in that he allowed party of about
fifty white men to take negro
named Will Spain from him and
lynch him. The Governor acted
upon official notification presented
to him by Solicitor Hilderbrand who
came there with certified copy of
the presentment. By the operation
of the law itself the Coroner sue
ceeds the Sheriff until the Sheriff is
acquitted and reinstated or convicted
and removed, when a new Sheriff
will be appointed by the Governor.
The Coroner is Pink Kiser of the
Indianfields section of Dorchester.

Judge Sulzberger, in the common
pleas court to-day, refused to grant
an injunction restraining Mayor
Weaver from interfering with the
production of the Walnut Street

the mayor suppressed, as result of
a protest of the leading negroes of
the city, who claimed the play was
intlammatory and an insult to the
negro race.

Real Estate,
WALHALLA, S. G..
A Buggy Sixty Years Old.

The buggy in which Joseph f.
Brown, Georgia's civil war Governor,
drove his bride in 184S from South
Carolina to his home at Canton, Ga,
has been donated to the citizens of
Canton by Mrs. E. L. Connally, who
had purchased the old vehicle for
ten dollars.
The Joseph E. Brown estate made
formal presentation to the town of
Canton Friday of the old Brown
homestead and four acres of ground,
to be used as park. At this time
Mrs. Connally also gave the town
the old buggy in which Gov. Brown
and his bride rode all the way from
South Carolina. The vehicle is very
valuable as memento, and will be
placed in the kitchen of the old
fashioned country mansion, where it
can be carefully preserved from the
weather.
The buggy, though almost sixty
years old, has suffered but little from
the attacks of time, and is still
sound and strong. 1t is very unu-
sual looking, and has great tall
wheels that rise high up along the
sides. 1t was built in Atlanta.-At-
lanta Constitution.

Changes In X. Of p. insurance.

New Orleans, Oct. 24.-New in-
surance laws affecting $4,000 policy
holders were officially adopted by
the Supreme Lodge, Knights of
Pythias, to-day. The features of
these laws are an increase in the
maximum policy to $4,000; increase
in age limit to 60 years; the crea-
tion of new fifth class of insurance.
All policies under the new system
will become incontestable after three
years.
The fifth class will be sub. b.divided
as follows: "Plan a." to be known
as the level life plan; Plan B, to be
known as the 20-year payment plan /;
Plan @, to be known as the modified
step-rate plan; Plan d, to be known
as the level plan to age sixty-fve.
These plans are based on the
American experiment table of NOR
tality; the rates proposed average
less by one-half than those of old
line companies, and in all but the
modified step-rate plan there is an
accumulation of reserve.

Eat Dogs and Horses.

Berlin, October 25.-The Cores
pondence Magazine, analizing the
official returns of the slaughter
houses of Prussia for 1905, finds that
the slaughterings of dogs for food
increased 33 per cent and that of
horses 10 per cent over the figures
of 1904. The total number of dogs
eaten in 1905 was 1868 and the
number of horses 1892. These
statistics will be utilized by those
agitating for the opening of the
frontiers to the importation of for
eign cattle as indicating a necessity
for the immediate government action
toward giving the working people
cheaper food.

of the proclamation is as follows:
eThe time of the year has come,
when, in accordance with the wise

my duty to set aside special day of
thanksgiving and praise to the AL
mighty because of the blessings We
have received, and of prayer thst
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year of widespread we'll

history or in the history of any other
nation has people enjoyed more
abounding material prosperity than
is ours; prosperity SO great thatsit
should arouse in us no spirit of reok.

Needless disregard of our responsible.
ties, but rather a sober sense of our
many blessings, and resolute pur-.
pose, under Providence, not to for
felt them by any action of our own.
"Material well-being, indispensa.
BILE though it is, can never be any
thing but the foundation of true ma
tional greatness and happiness. If
we build nothing upon this foanda-
tion, then our national life will be as
meaningless and empty as house
where only the foundation has been
laid. Upon our material well-being
must be built superstructure of in
d;Gidaal and national life lived in ac-
cordance with the laws of the highest
morality, or else our prosperity itself
will in the long run turn curse in
stead of blessing. We should be
both reverently thankful for what we
have received, and earnestly bent
upon turning it into means of grace
and not of destruction.

Thursday, the 29th day of November

RADICAL change Tn JURY. ..R00A.
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY ExcLUDEC BE-
FORE CONSIDERATION OF BILL.

Greenville, Oct. 23.---While declin-
ing to disturb those cases in which
true bills had alseady been found,
United States District Judge Brawley
announced a ruling in the Federal
Court here yesterday, which will
bring about radical change in the
proceedings of the grand jury room.
Though he declined to quash the in
dlets6nts in question, Judge Brawley
said that the custom of allowing the
district attorney, or one of his assist
antto remain constantly with the
gard jury during its entire deliberas
tioh6n case, must be abandoned
and that in future the prosecuting
oMcsfs would be expected to retirs
bdf0tS the actual deliberation on %
billxas begun. The motion was
argued by Julius II. Hayward, in be-
half of number of clients several
days ago, bdt the Judge reserved his
decision. Hayward took the position
that'th presence of the district at
torney was contrary to the spirit Of
the constitution and unlawful, and
that because the true bills in question
had been agreed upon while an assist
ant district attorney was present, the
indictments were null and void aud
should be qusshed. The motion was
important because it raised question
affecting the practice of the United
States Courts, not only in South
Carolina, but in other States, and
called into question custom that
had been followed in the Federal
Courts of this and other districts for
the past 25 or 80 years, perhaps even
longer. AS it is, Judge Brawley de-
clined to quash the indictments di-
rectly affected, and upon which bills
had already been found, but he vir-
tually sustained the position taken by
Hayward, in that he has directed the
prosecuting officers to withdraw from
the grand jury room, while that body
was actually engaged in discussing
and agreeing upon bill.
The judge declared, however, that
it was the lpracticc of the Federal
Courts to permit the district attorney
to 60 himself or send his assistant
into the grand jury room for the pur-
pose of questioning witnesses and
reading statutory law with view Of
facilitating the work of the court.
The prosecuting officer should not be
permitted in any way to influence the
finding of the jury, however, and is
forbidden TO remain in the room
while the jurors are in actual delib-
