LONDON, July 22.-This was the
first really fine day since the opening
Of the Olympic games and the ofic-
ials at the stadium welcomed an at
tendance exceeding that Of any prev
ious day except Saturday. The fine
weather was especially fortunate, as
the final in the l00-meter dash, in
which the public had the greatest
interest, was on the program, Those
in the final were: R. E. Walker, South
Africa; R. Kerr, Canada, and J. A,
Rector and N. ]. Cartmell, America.
The experts we're wary about at
tempting to pick the winner Of this
event, although most Of them pre-
dicted it would be either Rector or
Kerr.
The Americans were rather unlucky
in the draw in the 200 meters fiat
event, having one man, Hamilton, in
the FIRST heat, who is opposed to Kerr,
Canada; Rodocsy. Hungary, and Gut
tormson, Norway, while in the second
heat no less than three Americans
Sherman, Cartmell and Huff were
drawn with Altman, Sweden
In the third heat there was but one
American drawn against Reed, Hurds-
field and George, of the United King
dom, while in the fourth heat Haw-
kins and Roche, of the United King
dom, complete with Malfait. France.
The draw was even worse for the
United Kingdom than for the Ameri-
cans, as they had their FIVE men
punched in the last two heats.

| CHICAGO, July 22-By unanimous
opinion Of the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals for the Seventh
District the famous case Of the gov.
crnment against the Standard Oil
Company Of Indiana in which the lat
ter was fined $29.240.oQQsshy Judge
Lands in the District Court must be
retired
The Court Of Appeals differs with
the trial court on three points, hold
ing that Judge Lands excluded evil
dence for the Standard Oil Com
pany, OF Indiana, which should have
been admitted to show proper intent
in the rate the company paid on oil;
that he erred in making each car lot
a separate offense and that in impos-
ing the maximum fine for a first
offense, he abused the discretion
vested in his court.
''It is a strange doctrine says the
opinion, "by which million-dollar
corporation, such as the defendant,
the Standard Oil Company of In
diana, may be fined 20 times the
amount Of its capital stock in order
to punish defendant not even under
Indictment"
BY this latter is meant the parent
company, the Standard Oil Company
OF New Jersey
This decision, concurred in by
Judges Baker and Seamen, was de-
livered here today by Judge Grosscup,
who wrote the opinion. The con
Guiding sentence OF the opinion reads;
"The judgment Of the District
Court is reversed and the case re-
manded with instructions to grant a
new trial and proceed further in ac-
cordance with this opinion"
The opinion begins with a brief
statement OF the manner in which the
case was brought from the District
Court to the Court Of Appeals. Sec
ton six OF the Interstate Commerce
act relating to the publishing and fill
ing OF rates is quoted and the opinion
continues;
"There are l69 assignments Of
error, taking up 67 pages Of printed
record. In view OF the conclusion,
however, to which we have come, it
is unnecessary to review many Of
these assignments the ones review
ed covering all the propositions Of
law that we deem essential to the
guidance Of the District Court in the
event OF second trial Comprehen-
sively stated, the assignments Of
error which we shall review, relate;
First, to the view adopted by the
trial court carried out in its rulings
on the admission and exclusion Of
evidence ,and embodied in its charge
to the jury that shipper can be con-
victed Of accepting a concession from
the lawful published rate even though
it is not shown as bearing on the
matter Of intent, that the shipper at
the time Of accepting such concession,

knew what the lawful published rate
actually was
Second, to the view adopted by the
trial court that the number of the Of
lenses is the number Of carloads OF
property transported. irrespective OF
whether each carload was the whole
or the part only Of single transac-
tion resulting in a shipment; and,
Third, whether in the imposition
Of the fine named, the trial court
abused the discretion vested in the
court"
The remainder OF the courts opin-
ion is lengthy and technical.

"Here's to that section of tho coun-
try" proposes John Sharp Williams
"where they still believe in Almighty
God, read Scott's novels, and vote the
Democratic ticket"
The Southern States are all back
in the fold for honest government and
that is about all the consolation there
is for a Southerner in the election.
But President Roosevelt in his
glee has been talking considerably
to-day. and among the things he has
said Is that he is "dee-lighted" with
the large Republican gains in Sa-
vannah, Atlanta, Charlotte and other
large Southern cities.
For the good name Of South Caro-
lima he could not include either Co
lumbia or Charleston in his list.
Many Democrats, however, are
taking hope for the prospect of a
few more Democratic Senators, a
few gains in the House and several
new Democratic Governors.
1t is said to be all fixed up in New
York about the Senatorship. Elihu
Root Is next year to succeed Platt
and become also the successor of
Aldrich, who will retire as the chief
representative Of the predatory in
terests." while Roosevelt will two
years hence, after his bear hunt in
Africa, succeed DePew.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE.
Annual Meeting will be Held in Lau-
rcns on November 25th.

The one hundred and twenty-third
session of the South Carolina Annual
Conference Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, will be held in
Laurens, November 25th, Bishop AL
pheus w. Wilson, Of Baltimore, pre-
siding. This is the third official visi:
Of Bishop Wilson to the South Caro-
lima Conference within the last five
years. He is the senior Bishop of
Southern Methodism; strong and
forcible as a preacher, positive and
conservative as presiding officer. He
is thoroughly familiar with the
nsasns OF the church and its labor.
An annual conference occupies &
very prominent place in Methodism.
The whole years work focuses on
this annual meeting. Here the preach
erS render their reports; here the
characters Of the preachers are exam
ined and passed upon in oDen confer
'ence; here the preachers receive
their appointments for the coming
year. There are at present 235 pas
toral charges in South Carolina, with
a membership Of S5, 5,161. Entertain
| ment will be provided for about $50
| preachers and delegates. The work
of the conference is accomplished
| largely by committees, and but for
| this 1t would be impossible to accom-
| pliSh the work in three or four days.
There are eight new presiding ell
ders who enter the Bishops cabine.
| for the first time. A great RESPONSE
bility rests upon the presiding elder.
His position is a critical and trying
one. lie is really an assistant bishop.
There is nothing except the usual
routine to come before the conference
at this session. The election Of dele
gates to the General Conference
will take place at the next session.
Last year the conference met its ass
| essment for missions in full for the
first time in its history. 1t is eX-
| pected that similar report will be
made this Year.

"WHEN LAWYERS DISAGREE"
John Gary Evans and s. G. Finlay
Two Lawyers, Fall Out.
(Spartanburg Journal.)

John Gary Evans and S. G. Finlay,
two we'll known lawyers, engaged in
a personal encounter in the Office of
Nichols & Nichols, at a reference that
was being held to wind up the
law business that formerly existed
between Messrs. Evans and Finlay.
The reference was being held before
several well known lawyers, who sep&-
rated Messrs. Finley and Evans be-
fore either of them sustained injur-
les. Messrs. Evans and Finley were
associated in the practice of law at
the Spartanburg bar for several years
and few months ago they dissolved
the partnership, and there was a dis
agreement as to a settlement. 1t was
finally agreed to leave the matter to
several members of the local bar, and
two or three references had been held
previous to this one. On resuming
the reference this time Mr.. Finley
took exceptions to statement made
by Mr.. Evans, and they came to
blows, but were separated before
either of them sustained any injuries
of any account.
