HENEY ENGAGES BURNS.

That was in January. or about the
first of February. I went back to
washington and arranged for Burns
TO come out and work on the case At
that time Burns was engaged on the
land frauds cases under Secretary
hitchcock. and he could not get away
to undertake the collecting of evil
denee personally. but he came to the
city on a trip and set some OF his men
TO work Those men were soon active
and at the time of the fire we had evil
dence sufficient to bring charges But
that prosecution was postponed by the
fire and we started anew afterward

BURNS is sANGUINE.

William j. Burns and Heney have
worked together in the prosecution OF
criminal officials before this time and
the secret service agent has always
won the esteem OF the attorney. He
is considered by Chief WiIkie OF the
United States Secret Service Bureau to
be the best man at the work OF solving
mysterious crimes In the country. and
is said to have never failed at an
appointed task The assurance that he
would have Burns TO assist him was
one of the conditions on which Heney
undertook the work OF putting san
Francisco's grafters in Jail And this

In discussing the local situation yes

his provident spirit. wanted Conlan and
Mogan on the Superior bench Ruet Is
far-seeing and in his desire for plastic
Judges he sees future Grand Juries
emulating the body which has Just
completed It's term- Under the practice
OF the Superior Courts the presiding
Judgeship alternates between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. and the place is
always given to Judge who has not
served in that capacity. Under the
rules OF the court either Mogan or Con-
Ian, should one or the other be elected.

would mean that for a year Ruef would
be in control of the Superior Court to
that extent The presiding Judge con-
trolls the life OF the Grand Jury and ap-
points It's foreman. He may at his
pleasure discharge jury and call an
other body, or. il he like the habits OF

STRONG EVIDENCE READY.
You may be sure we would not have
made public our plans If we did not

our evidence is, or just when we shall
commence prosecutions. That depends
on many things. But as Langdon says.

WORK FOR NEW GRAND JURY.
1t might seem 10 some that there is a
strange coincidence in the dawn OF the
Heney investigation coming on the
sunset OF the "Ruef Grand Jury" But
that is not a coincidence. Events are
running true TO DOth aStrOlOSy ana
dope" whichever word will convey the
idea clearer Heney knows a Grand
Jury by sight. and this disclosure OF his
plans TO rid San Francisco OF bosses
comes at a moment OF transition from a
known-lf not notorfousAGrand Jury
to an untried body Of fnQuisitors. If
the Incoming body is willing Heney
promises a great deal Of exercise for it.
The Andrews Grand Jury called upon
Heney to cooperate with it in working
against the grafters. but the attorney
had land-fraud cases on mis- hands at
that time and could not AFFORD the time
to mix up in the situation as thor
oughly as he would have done had he
accepted the task.

However sudden may have appeared
to Ruef and his followers the deter

practically for eleven months Satur-

year.

A Member For Cork.

A famous character In London when
Frazer's Magazine-was in it's hey
day was Sergeant Murphy, member OF
parliament for Cork. The sergeant
was one day at dinner with Samuel
Warren, author Of "Ten Thousand a
Year" and one Of the most conceited
authors Of his OWL or any other time.
This novel was then appearing in
Frazer's in serial form. Warren,
who was always fishing for compI-
ments, said to Murphy ACROSS the
table, "Haye you read that thing that
is coming out in Frazer's? What
thing" said Murphy. "'Ten Thou
sand Year." replied Warren. Eyes,
I have read it," admitted the sergeant.
''What do you think Of it," continued
the novelist. Hardly fair to ask me"
said Murphy, considering wrote it
myself"
Another acquaintance Of Murphy's
was constantly addicted to boasting OF
his aristocratic friends. At a dinner
party where there were several Ro-
man Catholics present conversation
centered around the subject Of fasting,
when the sergeant's friend struck in:

The jury boxes in Charleston
evidently need attention, as a
recent list of jurors drawn for

the name of "A. II. Breedin So
Radcliffe street. "This gentleman
has not been a citizen of Char
lesion for more than ten years
past. He is a respected citizen

our city council long after he
moved away from Charleston.
We mention this matter be-
cause it might open the eyes OF
the officers in Charleston who
have charge of filing the jury
boxes, and it might reach the
notice of jury commissioners all
over the State that they may
exercise more care in securing
ssgood and true men, to serve in
the capacity of jurors. If there
is any branch Of our government
that needs q jealous care, it is
is our courts, but when our
trusted officials become so lax as
to leave names in the jury box
that have not been "quallhed
electors" for over ter years, they
should be reminded of their duty.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Washington, D. @.


The trend of commerce toward
the South is strikingly illustra-
ted by the statement of the
Bureau of Statistics giving the
value of exports Of breadstufs
for the first nine months of the
present calendar year. During
that time the total value Of these
exports through all the ports Of
the country was S130, ,607: :719,
an increase over the correspond
ing months of last year of S4S,-
6Ol,65 More than sixty-three
per cent. of this increase was
accounted for by shipments
through the South Atlantic and
Gulf ports. The total value of
exports of breadstufs through
these ports during the nine
months this year amounted. to
s56, 6,535, ,47O, against s27, ,65o,727,
showing that the exports through
the Southern ports had very
near doubled as compared with
last year. The increase tor all
the Southern ports was 9s.7 per
cent, while for all the other
ports of the country 1t was but
27.4 per cent.

Every voter of the State must

PARTY FEALTY.

The politics of New York and
that of South Carolina is very
different. In New York a noml-
nation does not always mean the
party support, but in South Car
olina it does. The Democratic
newspapers of New York State
are not giving Mr.. Hearst, the
Democratic nominee a hearty,
support, many of them are open
ly fighting him. and the few not
lighting are very feebly sup.
porting him-saying they do not
regard Mr.. Hearst a proper
standard bearer, but since ne
has been chosen by the party he
is entitled to their support. Ihls
class Of Democratic newspapers
are damniug the party,s nominee
with the faintest Of praise.

honored presidential nominee OF
the Democratic party, and the
man who owes his political fame

Charlotte Bronte,s Writing.

Charlotte Bronte's Writing.
It is generally believed that Jane
Eyre" was written by Charlotte Bronte
on the backs Of old envelopes or very
small scraps Of paper, which the author
ess carefully pinned together and num-
bered. Miss Bronte wrote 50 small a
hand that some Of her manuscripts can
only be read by the aid Of magnifyins
glass. It is declared that on piece OF
paper no larger than playing card
she would write from 400 to 500 words,
and after that would insert so many
corrections that the printer found 1t
well nigh impossible to set it up. When
she wrote '.Jane Eyre" Miss Bronte
had read few novels but those by
Thackeray, whom she greatly admired.
Thackeray complimented the authoress
on her great book, but complained that
the plot was familiar 70 him, where
upon Miss Bronte meekly replied that
she thought it was original, inasmucn
as she had read SO little.

the County for one year, in the polling
precinct in which the elector offers to
vote, four months, and the payment
six months before any poll tax then due
and payable. Provided, That ministers
in charge Of an organized church and
teachers OF public schools shall be en-
titled to vote after six months residence
in the State, otherwise qualified.
Acknowledgements OF all taxes,
including poll tax, assessed and col
lectable during the previous year. The
production of a certificate or the re-
ceipt of the officer authorized to collect

COTTON.

The governments bureau re-
port makes the number Of bales
of cotton ginned todate 4, $40, 600
of this number South Carolina
has $4,000 against $4,000 of
last year. The falling off in
this State will be about 50 per
cent, and if there is anything
like similar reduction in num-
Der of cotton belt States the
crop will not reach 10000, 900
bales. and the price must re
spond accordingly. The Texas
crop so far as the ginning to
date shows is short of last year,
and Georgia, Alabama and North
Carolina is about as short as
South Carolina. The prevail
inc prices cannot be maintained
by the spectators, the law of
demand and supply will not per-
nit it, and we are satisfied cot
ton must bring more money, but
granted that we are correct, will
this help farmer and merchant
in the present emergency, money
is tight, collections for advances
consumed are disappointing.
and unless those who are in
debt do the square thing by pay
ing all they can, a crisis stares
thecountry in the face.
In our judgment the financial
conditions were never in worse
shape, never has this country
been nearer the verge of panic,
the only consoling hope is the
we'll filed barns of corn and
forage, were it not for this our
financial fabric would be hang
ing by a thread. The only thing
to do in the present circum-
stances, is for everybody to make
a determined effort to pay as
much as possible, tighten the
merchants load, strengthen him
SO that he may be enabled to tide
over and prevent crisis.
