CIRCULATION 1884.
Wednesday, June 5, 1907.

As to the question of the proposed
new counties Of st. Matthews and
Edisto, it is only necessary for this
paper to repeat what we have con-
tended for since the schemes were
first originated. All our assertions
have certainly been for what we con-
ceive to be for the best interest of the
majority Of people living in that ter
ritory, and not from any bias or pref
udice toward any one. It is an indis
putable fact that the taxes would av-
erage much higher in either of these
new counties, than in the old, and
your land will not yield one pound
more Of cotton, nor a grain more of
corn; neither will your land increase
IN real value, but, as q matter of
course, you will have to put a much
higher valuation on all your property
in order to get sufficient taxes to meet
the demands of your county officials,
court expenses, etc. Besides, there
will be q number Of other incidental
expenses, not made known to you
now by those in favor Of the PROPOSE
hon, but which must surely follow.

to be fooled by any such promises,
made by men who are working solely
for their own political and financial
agrandizement, at the expense of the
farmer. Ask yourselves, brother
farmers, how much it will improve
your home and yourfarms, and Wheth-
er it will pay you to enhance the val
ne Of town property at your expense?
What tommy-rot! The promoters of
thesene counties claim that a small,
new county, can be run with less e8-
pense than the present old counties of
Orangeburg, Aiken and Lexington.
In the name Of common-sease, have
they so far forgotten themselves as
to defy figures which never liea
Surely not. IfyouW viii refer to the
Comptroller Generals books, you can
readily see that from the very begin

ers, but look to your own interest.

ORCHARD TO BE ARRAIGNEp
Proceeding wuI Make only q slight
Break I'm the Haywood
Trial.

BOISE, Idaho, June 16-while the trial
OF William d. Haywood. charged with con-
spring to secure the murder OF former
Governor Steunenberk, stands suspended
for a day. Harry Orchard. the chief wit
ness in the case. will be taken to Caldwell.
Canon county. where the case against him
for the actual murder OF Steunenberg will
be called and postponed until the next term
of court. Judge Fremont Wood. who is
presiding In the Haywood case, will hold
court IN Canon county tomorrow. acting
for\ Judge Bryan, who is disqualified in the
Orchard case because his partner Is or was
counsel for Orchard at the time OF his ar
rest. Orchard will be taken to Caldwell
on the local train leaving here at O'Clock
tomorrow morning. He will be in charge
of Warden whitney Of the Idaho peniten-
tlary and a force Of guards.
The adjournment Of his case will be
merely a perfunctory matter not taking
more than few minutes. The prisoner
will lat once be brought back to Boise.
The Haywood trial will be resumed at
$3.50 on Tuesday morning when the state
viii continue the introduction OF evidence
in support Of the Orchard story and en-
the conspiracy to murder Steunenberg as
outlined by Orchard in hts confession. So
far the evidence has been corroborative OF
Orchards story OF his many crimes in
major and minor detail. The direct con-
nection Of Haywood has yet to come out in
evidence. Certain evidence has linked him
with Adams whom Orchard says was his
partner In q number Of crimes.
1t is probable that the case in direct
for'the state will rest by the end OF the
week. Counsel say that It will take at
least until Friday next to conclude. Adams
may be called to the stand in a few days,
but this is not certain.
A strong effort will be made to get
Adams repudiated confession before the
jury and WILL OF course be fought vigor-
ously by the defense. Lawyers who know
the history Of the prosecution Of Adams
and his confession express doubt as to the
possibility of getting the confession in.
The defense has already announced that
they will have between $50 and 200 wit
nesses. Subpoenas have not been asked
for these, and It is therefore probable that
It will be shown that they have come for
ward voluntarily to testify for Haywood.
That this will be done is almost certain
from the questions asked the states wit
nesses to show that they were brought to
Boise on subpoenas IN most instances and
served by the Pinkertnns. and that many
Of them were advanced money from the
Pinkerton officers. The witnesses, It is
understood, will be chiefly IN contradiction
OF Orchard by aIibi as to the whereabouts
OF Haywood or Meyer or Pettibone, and
even OF Orchard himself.
Both sides were busy all day today in
preparation for the continuance of the
struggle. Haywood was visited at the
court house by his relatives and counsel,
and Orchard was brought from the peni-
tentiary to Mr.. Hawleys ONCE during the
afternoon. For some time he was in con-
sultation with counsel for the state. Or
chard may go on the stand again this week.

TROUBLE FOR THE JoBBERS
Guarantee on Manufactured Products
Does Not Protect Third
Party,

WASHINGTON, June l6-Trouble is
brewing for jobbers and Wholesale dealers
In food and drug products, under the con
struction placed upon the pure food and
drugs act by the Department OF Agricul-
ture.
Under the law the manufacture OF a
particular line OF food or drug products
may obtain from the Department OF Agri-
culture guaranty Of the purity and
whoiesomeness OF the products. To the
manufacture whose products have been
passed upon by officials Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture a serial number Is
issued as an Identification of the products
inspected and found to be manufactured
and labeled in accordance with the law.
Until recently It was supposed that this
guaranty would hol good throughout the
distribution and sale OF the products but
the Department Of Agriculture holds that
It does not.
The Law requires that the guaranty shall
be from the person who sold the goods to
the person charged with the offense. Thus,
II A. & Company sell to 3. q Company
and give a guaranty the formers guaranty
is not a valid defense for c. & Company
against any action under the food and
drugs act, as the last named purchased the
goods from B. & Company.
1t is the intention OF the Agricultural de-
partment soon TO issue a regulation re-
garding this matter which probably will
create wide interest among jobbers and
wholesale dealers ell over the country. II
will be necessary for them, in order fully to
protect their interests, to insist upon di-
rect guarantees from all those from whom
they purchase food and drug products.

CHEYENNE, wyo., June 1G.-(special,) }
The taking OF evidence In the Ray
Pressler murder trial commenced in the
district court this morning. Dr. Desmond
who attended Edwards, the murdered po-
liceman. was the first witness. He ex-
plained the character of the wound in
ficted by Pressler with a knife. HIS
testimony was damaging for the defense
and the efforts OF PressleFs attorneys
to shake the DOCTORS testimony were
unaVailing. Presslers defense will be
emotional insanity and brain storm.
