DEFENDER OF ROCKEFELLER

DR.. Harry Pratt Judson, president of the Uni
versity of Chicago, comes forward as the defend
er of John D. Rockefeller, whom he represents
as the burden-bearer of the community, conveying
inferentially the impression that the multimillion
aire takes the money of the American people
with sole view to using it for the best interests
Of humanity by establishing universities at Chica-
go, general educational boards and institutions
Of research. And DR.. Judson is no doubt sincere
in the opinion he expresses, for he is man of
considerable independence of thought and not
a mere trucker to the money power.
He comes of an old American family that was
mainly instrumental in organizing the Baptist
church in America, family that was of consider

THAW TRIAL JUDGE

Victor J. Bowling, justice of the supreme cour,
of New York, who is sitting as trial Judge in the
Thaw murder case, is one of those judges who be.
lieve in deciding every question as it arises,
promptly and definitely, and allowing no criticism
of his ruling afterwards. At the last Thaw trial
Justice Fitzgerald allowed the lawyers the
fullest latitude in arguing every little point Of
law, and after he had decided the point would
permit them to carry on another long drawn-out
debate. This is thing that Justice Bowling has
never been known to tolerate. He holds the
record for the shortest murder trial in New York
BY holding the attorneys down to the case and
excluding all extraneous matters he had verdict
in 40 minutes from the time the case was started

SEEKS SOUTH POLE.

Lieut.. F. H shackleton, NJ v. o., the young
British officer, introduced several innovations
when he started for the south pole with an Eng
lsh party recently Fronting by past experience,
he went practically without vegetables, it being
found that they do not keep well, and carried only
the best of meats. He will use a specially built
automobile for the earlier stages of the journey
and, instead of relying on dogs for the final dash
over the snow and Ice, he will rely mainly on the
hardy little Siberian pony :.

there is also another pressing matter
that should receive attention at this
meeting so we beg every member OF
the organization to be present.

There is very pleasing probabil-
ity that Mr.. and Mrs. Willis Duncan,
of Barnwell, will come to live in Ed
gef1eld soon. Mrs. Duncan, formerly
Miss Mae Dozier, is now in Edgefield
with her sisters, Mrs. ]. G. Tomp-

meanwhile we hear that Mr.. Duncan
has rented his large plantation in
Barnwell to Col. Lumpkin, of Colum-

loves, and with her a gentleman who
would be an ornament to our citizen

There Is more Catarrh In this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurabe. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and preSrribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio. is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts direct

enrolment Monday was two hundred,
and this will be largely increased this
week. This additional teacher will
be selected in few days, and will
come and begin work at once.
All the graded school teachers,
with the exception of Miss Francis,

move to Moselle, Colleton county.
Miss Francis is boarding at DR..
Hairs. Principal Aliens family will
arrive in a few days, and he will oc-
cupy the residence of Mr.. W. E.

and teachers near each other and
close to the school.

LIES INDICTMENTS
 2 DISMISSED BY COURT

Two indictments against Alfred B. Hes which wore returned by the grand jury, in the district court in August 1907 were dismissed today on motion of the defendants attorneys, Ostrandcr & DOnChoc, and with the consent of the district attorncy'g Of- flee. The dismissal; amounts to an acquittal of MT. Hes of the charge made.
 Mir. Hes was charged with conniv- ing with Charles Friend to forge q deed to alleged mining property on Clcary creek in the Tanana. It has since been ascertained that no such property had ever been located by Friend or anybody else. Friends story to Hes was that his real name was Gus Dickerson, that Friend was an alias; that under his true name of Dickerson be had located this prop erty, which was of considerablev value :; that he was iu great need of money for medical attendance for his wife and to pay pressing bills; Mir. Hes ad- vanced him the money lie asked and Friend executed the deed as Gus Dickerson.
 Soon afterwafd the matter was called to the attention of the grand jury and on the Testimony of Friend Mir. Hes was indicted No indict. mont was returned against Friend al- though he accused himself of forgery in his testimony before the grand iu- ry Friend has since left Valdez un. der a cloud
 Mir. Hes has been trying for two years to obtain q hearing or a dis missal Of the case and this was aoeom- plisBed today by order of Judgc Reid. It was admitted by tho district nttor. ney's office that it had no case against Hes and that the indictments was re. turued solely upon the testimony of man nnwcrthpof belief Judge liar. Ian, former district attorney, stated sJDh after tile matter was brought to his att6ntlon that the Indictment never should bave been found.

Seattle, Oct. 1S.-Investigation has determined that the vessel which on Friday night coliided with the Lynn Canal liner Cottage City is the schooner Bainbridge. The latter is not injured.
 | The Cottage City has her stem broken and is laid open clear to her foremast. The wonder is that she did not sink. Tho passengers who were uninjured were Saturday night taken north on the steamship Jeffer- son, and the freight will go north on the Tampico, departing tomorrow.
 While there. has been no investiga- tion into the cause of the accident it Is believed that the Cottage City ia equally culpable with the schooner. The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany, owner of the Cottage City, has assumed all damages suffered by the passengers on the steamship.

ALASKA JUDICIAL EXPENSE

If refinement of cheese-paring economy has caused congress to with hold from Alaska the poor boon of bisection of the Fourth judicial divis- ion some interested person should take a minute off and show that billion-dollar aggregation that while preserving the Third division, intact saves the salary of an additional judge, district attorney, marshal and clerk, it entails travelling expenses for various officials far exceeding these extra salaries. In fact the salary in- crease would be less than the total salary of the four new officials named because the number of assistants would be reduced by one each in the offices of attorney, marshal and clerk. The aggregate salary increase would be less than S1O,OOO annually.
 Taking the recent journey of Dis trict Attorney CrOssley from Fair banks to Valdez by way of Seattle which route brought him through in shorter time than any other-The Skagway Alaskan showed the folly of a judicial system which sends an Alaska official 1000 miles to go from one town to another $50 miles away, waisting month of time in the effort The Seattle Post-Intclligen- cer copied the article and illustrated it with map which ought to make the situation plain even to a United States senator.
 If somebody will show that map to the senate at the coming session and the Fourth judicial bill still fails to pass the dissenting members ought to spend the summer vacation in a kindergarten.

REVENUE FLEET KEPT BUSY
Seattle Timc>.)


 When one stops to consider that the coast line of the United States proper is about 10000 miles, the cruise of the combined revenue fleet in Alas kan waters takes ol .'c@pac able pro. portions.
 During the season just .c.c,Cd Cap tain MunGc's five ships covered d O. tai of more than GO,OUO miles. Thar ia--thcir voyage in the aggregate would reach nearly two and q half times around the earth at the cqu&- tor.
 There are some. good names in that ncct--thC Bear famed for buck ing the ice: the McCulloch which re- ccived it's baptism Of fanic in the bat tic of Manila Bay; the historic Rusn the Perry and the Thetis.
 During the season just closed some one of those ships has ponetratc ted the Arctic to Barrow; another has circlcd the seal islands; and yet another has made the voyage to Attu-a thousand miles west of the meridian of HoUU- lulu.
 All of them havc.done good in the name of the Government, for the master of d revenue cutter in north erm waters is q sort of Prince Bounti- ful who disponses manifold benefits wijh lavish hand.
 \ combined voyage uf co,v ,vo0 miles looks rather large to the average landsman. Yet the mariner thinks nothing of it. He knows that the coast line of Alaska, with it's innu- mcrable inlcts and islands, is fully 23,O00 miles in length; and that the five vessels of the revenue fleet must be mp and doing in order to get over their territory and report home in good rCas0n.

TAFT RID|CULES
 SCHEME 0F BRYAN

Louisville, Oct. 1T-William Jen- ninga Bryan's bank guarantee scheme received a severe scoring from Can didatc Taft during the latter's speech delivered in this city last night. MT. Taft declared that the scheme will, if it becomes effective, open the way to fraud and will make every honest banker responsible for tie integrity of any one who wishes to start a bank.
 According to Mir. Taft, the Bryan scheme makes it possible for anybody to start a bank, regardless of the honesty Of the purpose behind such institution. The scheme, declared Mr. Taft, makes no provision for safeguard in this respect, but does place upon all banksrs the responsi- bility of protecting the depositors in the wildcat institutions.
 Mir. Taft is the first republican presidential candidate to carry cam paign into this state. His meetings have been largely attended and his remarks well received.
