Hurley never held any State office.

Hurley never held any State office.
lie was treasurer of Charleston
county for short while, and was a
Republican elector in 1876.
Hurley was comical looking fell
low, very short, rather broad -shoul-
dered and decidedly bow-legged.
He never affected virtue and did not
attempt to conceal the fact that he
was here "on the make" He was
said to be good-hearted and free
with his money.
At the session of 1971-72 Mr..
Thomlinson, a Northern man, re-
porting for The Charleston News,
was attacked with a cowhioe by Ben
Byas, a mulatto member of the
House from Orangeburg-this on ac-
count of an exposure by the CORES.
pondent of some corrupt conduct of
that worthy. Byas got in one
glancing blow, when Thomlinson
promptly drew his pistol and fred
the ball inflicting bad flesh wound
in tue negro's arm. There was great
excitement in the House lobby,
where the trouble occurred, with
wild threats against Thomlinson's
life. Hurley was active in stopping
the trouble, and, Thomlinson being
arrested, went with him to the trial
Justices office and became surety for
his appearance at court. The trou-
BILE ended there.
Hurley, as already stated, was
Hayes elector in 1876. There wore
rumors of an effort to get one of the
Repu blican electors of this State to
give to Tilden the one vote he
needed to elect him, and the general
belief was that Tim was open to an
offer-if, indeed, he did not actually
name his price.
He left the State very soon after
the Hampton government, in May,
1877, was fully installed.
Hurley, in 1873, built the houses
on the square then and for a long
time since known as "Hurleyville,"
in Columbia. 1t was said of him
that he was very considerate of his
tenants.
These houses are located between
the College for Women (Preston
mansion), and the old G. G. and A.
depot, and the property is now very
valuable.

Farmers Union Opposes immigration.

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-The Farm
ers' Union of Georgia went on rec
ord here to-day as opposing the pres
ent immigration movement. The
resolution opposed the movement on
the ground that it would bring into
the State undesirable citizens; that
it would crowd native Georgians
from the factories by establishing
lower wage rates, and that it would
increase the production of cotton
and thereby lower the price of the
staple. The resolution further urged
upon the General Assembly at its
coming session that no further ap-
preparations in furtherance of the
movement shall be made.

No! Guilty OF Embezzlement.

Greenville, May 16.-The jury in
the case of It. M. Hill, who was un-
der indictment for the embezzlement
OF $4,000 from the Southern Railway
while he was station agent at Greer's,
returned verdict of not guilty after
being out ten minutes. The case
was brought on evidence given by
Railway Auditor Lowery, who in
spected Hill's books in January,
1905, and the case just come up for
trial. Hill was awarded the position
as station agent by the Southern as
reward for his refusal to turn over
to highwaymen money which be-
longed to the company when they
attacked and shot him several times,
in October, 1901, and he was, until
the auditing of his books, a trusted
and esteemed employee of the road.

A Live, !

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if you pene-
trate the skin with the point of
a needle you will touch a nerve
and receive a shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in
jury to nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from a large nerve it is called
Neuralgia

or the heart, stomach, sciatic

you must relieve the strain or

Letter to w. W. Moss,
Walhalla, s. c.

Dear Sir: A man fed his hens half meal
and half sawdust; he thought they
wouldn't know the difference. He con-
oluded they did when the eggs hatched
woodpeokers.
Another man painted his house with a
paint that was made of half paints bsti-
tutes. He didn't know the difference
not till he paid the painter.
He had 20 gallons to pay-for, 20 instead
of 10. Got fooled $3.50 on the paint.
He had 20 days. wages to pay-for, 20
instead of 10. Fooled $50 in wages.
He got poor job besides. He paid
too much for his eggs, and they hatohed
woodpeckers.
Yours truly,

The Judges are 10 Blame.
| rAbbeville Press and Banner. I

TAbbeville Press and Banner.l
The News and Courier says:
"The ease with which bail is OBJ.
tanned in South Carolina is due to
the well understood difficulty of con.
victing murderers. Judges know
that there is little motive to the man.
slayer to flee and so they do not
hesitate to consent to his release"
Yes, and the well understood diff.
Guilty of convicting murderers is to
be found in the easy bail which is
granted to everybody, no matter
how aggravatipg the crime.
The judges, ten thousand times
more than the juries, are responsible
for the light regard which is paid to
human life.
The judges, more than the juries,
are responsible for the failure to pun
ish crime against the person.
Not until the judges discharge
their sworn duty need we expect
juries to discharge their duty in
protecting life.
If judges placed an obligation on
the slayers of men greater than the
stealers of pigs, to account for their
deeds, there would be as few MUIR
derers in court as there are pig
stealers.
The way judges turn murderers
loose on the community is practically
a premium on murder.
Until judges refuse to grant bail
juries need not be expected to con-
vict.
Holding the views expressed, the
Press and Banner believes that
judges, more than all other forces.
are responsible for the murderers
that disgrace the State.
