What System.

A German canvasser took the
fifty. story elevator Of a western
wholesale house in New York
and walked into the Office, where
one Of the proprietors was busy
at his desk. The canvasser was
told that the house needed moth
ing in his line, but he persisted
in opening his sample bag and
making himself the cause of
much distress, until finally the
enraged proprietor kicked him
down the first fight Of stairs. An
employee, observing the mode Of
descent, repeated the dose with
like effect. and it was dittoed till
the unfortunate German found
himself on the curbstoned high
way. Shaking himself, he look
ed back over the course of events
and CALCULATED, ''Vell. dot ish a
great establishment. ! don't
know DER particular line of pees-
ness, but, my! Vat system, vat
system.!"- Tit Bits.

a great injustice IS done. The
fault lies entirely with the boards
Of equalization: the members Of
which make the mistake of not
liScl.iminati,l" III values, but put
good, bad and Indifferent on
the books upon the same basis,
and by doing 50 they place a
heavy burden upon the poor
man and tighten the load upon
the rich. Comptroller General
Jones has been working for
years to bring about some re-
trenchmeut in our taxing sys
TEN, but his efforts have proven
unavailing. We believe if the
Legislature will give heed to
Jones plan, it will prove just
what the State needs.

Is It a war cloud lowering over
Europe? Bulgaria has thrown
off the yoke of Turkey and de-
clared her independence, and this
act is making all of the powers
sit up to,take notice, not know

Turkey declares war, it will in
volye a number of the European
powers, and give Japan an ex-
cuse to have a try out with the
United States.
Should there be general mix

they may as well go out Of the
cotton growing business for a

on account Of a strike will send
cotton tumbling down, what can
be expected if there is a general

The graded school here opened Mon

enrolled. Professor F. II. Clyburn,
the principal, teaches the seventh,
eighth and ninth grades; Miss Jennie
Reid, the fifth and sixth grades; Miss
Ninta Moore, the third and fourth
grades, and Miss Bessie Corbett, the
first and second grades. The teachers
have gone to work with the determine
ton to make this the most successful
year the school has ever had, but their
work alone cannot bring this about;
they earnestly Seseech the cooperation
and help of the patrons. Every patron
can be of great help to the school by
making their children feel that they
are in sympathy with the teacher and
stand ready to render any assistance
that might be needed, by making the
teacher feel this and by giving their
children all the help md encourage
1nent possible. Come. patrons. one and

mighty cause, the education OF the

The general election comes off
November 3rd, and it being pres
identiaL year it behooves every
voter to turn out and vote for
. electors and congressman. # the
election for congress throughout
the Uaited States turns out to be
very close, and.the Republicans
have G small majority we stand a
chance ofour congressman losing
their seats, unless we take a
deeper interest than has been our
practice. The law should be
strictly complied with so as not
TO give the opposition the sem
blanoo for an excuse to contest.
Let every man turn out and vote,
and when the vote IS cast let the
record be properly made and pre-
served. We are in no danger
with our electoral or state ticket,
but there is danger in apathy
with the congressman. How
would We feel if through our in
difference Aaron Prioleau should
unseat Hon. Geo. S. Legare?
Every man must turn out and
vote.

manufacturers SAID mat after fdII-
ing to get awards direct they oper-
ated through agents who stood we'll
with the boards, and did plenty of
business. 1t was shown that one di
rector, acting independently of the
board, purchased from one distiller
$175, 900 worth of whiskey.
'As a result of the work of the
investigating committee the legisla-
ture passed a law abolishing the
state dispensary, and providing for
a commission to wind up it's affairs.
There was turned over to the com
mission 100000 in the treasury,
to the credit of the dispensary, and
claims presented by the liquor deal
ers for 100000 worth of goods sold
the state.
with the assistance of Attorney
General Lyon and Attorney T. B.
Fielder the winding up commission
has been investigating these claims
WlUn SSHSdIIOudl results,
"As an outcome of this investiga-
ton warrants charging conspiracy
to cheat the state have been served
on M. A. Goodman, agent for a firm
of Cincinnati distillers; j. B. Towill,
L. w. Boykin, John Black, j. M.
Rawlinson and J. B. Wiley, former
dispensary directors, and W. o. Ia
tum, former dispensary commission
err Goodman gave $4,000 bail and
each of the others $4,000 bonds.
"a warrant was also issued last
January for J. S. Farnum, beer and
whiskey agent, known as the "beer
king" but he has not been found
(Mr. Farnum has since surrendered
and given. bond in the sum OF SlO,-

Months were devoted by the wind
ing M commission, with the aid of
attorneys and detectives, to working
nm evidence against the distillers and
brewers having claims against the
state. Then the latter were ordered
to appear with their books and prove
their claims.
Goodman was first called to tes-
tifv. 1t was hown that in 1904 he
changed from another concern to a
Cincinnati firm. His former employ
ers made few or no sales aftersGood-
man left them. Goodmans new en-
blowers made a profit of 100000 from
the dispensary in the first nine
months of his employment.
"Goodman's expense account was
$4,000. AS the investigation pro-
ceeded it was shown that one firm
after another had made heavy over
charges on whiskey sold to the state.
In the case of a western brewery the
overcbarge was more than the real
value of the beer. The Overcharge
of northern brewery was $S,30S on
a bill for $4,000 A similar state
of affairs was found to exist when
the claims of the distillers were call
ed ND for consideration. Many OF
these concerns have accepted the
commissions revision of their claims.
It is expected that out of the total
of 100000 claimed by the whiskey
houses. brewers and distillers at
least 100000 will be saved to the
state"

UNIQUE CASE is NOW UP
THAT OF GEORGIA PRISONER is
BEFORE L. S. SUPREME COURT.
The Law as to the Affirmative Pow
ers of the State Supreme Court
Is Involved.

ers OF the State Supreme Court
Is Involved.
Attorney General John c. Hart has
returned from Washington, where he
went to represent the state before
the supreme court of the United
Staets in a rather unique case-the
appeal of James S. Yeates of Decatur
county, convicted Of murder and SEN
fenced to fife Imprisonment
Yeates appealed to the supreme
court of the United States on rather
unusual grounds. Tried for murder,
he was convicted first for man
slaughter and sentenced accordingly
to number of years in the peniten-
tiary. Upon his appeal the state SUI
preme court gave him a new trial.
At his second trial he was convicted
of murder and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. The state supreme court
affirmed this sentence.
Then Yeates tried to secure his re-
lease through habeas corpus proceed
ings before Judge Emory Speer on
the ground that his second trial was
a violation of the fifth amendment to
the constitution of the United States,
which forbids a person to be put
twice in jeopardy for the same Of
Tense. Yeates' claim is that having
been once convicted of manslaughter
he could not be tried again for muir
der and convicted.
In affirming the life sentence the
state supreme court was evenly di-
vided, three and three. Under the
Georgia law an even division Of the
supreme court justices affirms the
sentence of the lower court. Yeates
holds this law is unconstitutional,
and that he should have been given
the benefit of the doubt which I'M
questionably existed in so dividing
the court.
Judge Speer refused to order
Yeates' release under the habeas cor
pus petition, and the defendant APP
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States.

that for every fifty immigrants arriv-
