ATTORNEY CARRIER
SUBMITS REPORT
STATE BRIEF GOES TO UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT IN
THE CASE OF ALoNZo BAILEY
AGAINST ALABAMA.

Washington, November 30.-(Special.) y
The United States supreme court today
received from the attorney general of
Alabama his brief replying to the At
torney General of the United States in
the case of Alonzo Bailey VS.. Alabama
The Attorney General claimed the con-
viction. of Bailey, a negro worker who
vi0i51ted a labor contract unconstitu-
tional.
Attorney General CARRIER states that
the Attorney General seems to be rely
the peonage cases but he cannot see
how the contention is in force as Jones
held the original law to be good. General
CARRIED submits that the state statute
can in no sense be held to violate the
peonage statute and that unless it is
held that the original statute is invalid
there can be no condition of peonage
incident to a conviction hereunder.
THE rule of evidence says the state
official, docs not of itself or as an
amendment to the original statute make
a condition of peonage."
Certain of Mr.. Bonapartes suggestions
General CARRIER goes on to say, serve
only to subject other statutes of Ala
bama, not under attack, to unfavorable
criticism and he adds:
1T will not be denied that a sovereign
state has the right to make by statute,
duly and properly enacted by its legis-
lature, any act criminal offense, so
long as it keeps within the Limitation
prescribed by the federal constitution and
conflicts with no right of life, liberty
or property guaranteed hereunder. Even
though an isolated statute may impress
the Attorney General as ching I'll ad-
vised, unequal and oppressive" yet as
said by Mr.. Justice Field, this court
is not harbor in which can be found
a refuge" therefrom.
In the same spirit the Attorney Gen
eral would place upon a parity and &C.
cupying relatively the same attitude I'M
der the irrespective government the
Mexican peon' who is virtually slave
and whose subsection to the lash" saw
ors of barbarism, and the party defend
ant in Alabama convicted under a stat
ute. the essence of which is a fraudu-
lent intent in obtaining money or other
property from another-a statute, like
all other criminal statutes of Alabama,
that cannot encompass the conviction and
Imprisonment of a defendant until q
jury has pronounced him guilty beyond
all reasonable doubt after a careful con-
sideration of all the evidence adduced
on the final trial.

Catholic Mission.

Father Costello, who is conducting a
mission at st. Anthony's Catholic church
delivered stirring sermon on mortal sin
at the service tonight. In graphic Ian
guage the speaker pictured the gross in
jury done to Gods majesty and goodness
by the grievous sins of men and showed
how disastrous sin is to the human soul
itself.
'Sin is spiritual suicide" Father Co.'S
tello declared, because it destroys the
life of the soul, in robbing it of God s
grace, love and friendship. The punish
ment of one who kills his~soui is the
same as that of one who destroys his
body by an act of acknowledgements
ing torment in the flames of hell"
The reverend father concluded his dis
course by urging his hearers to give up
a life of sin and swear allegiance to God,
by promising him faithful service and
virtuous lives in the future.
Thank God for this mission" said he,
because it is a heaven-sent time of re-
pentance. You have not been struck down
in your sins, like many others, but time
has been given you to put off the old
month of sin and put on the new month
of grace. Don't resist this merciful in
vitation of your Savior, who declares that
there shall be more joy in heaven over
the conversion of one sinner than over
the perseverance of SO just, who need not
repentance"
Large crowds are attending the mis-
sion services both morning and evening.
There is mass and instruction daily at
a. M, and at 730 a.. m. The evening
service consisting of rosary, question box,
sermon and benediction of the Blessed
Sacrement begins at 1880 o'clock. Father
Doyle, pastor of the church, issues a cor
dial invitation to non-Catholics to attend
these mission services. All will be most

LEXINGTON COU NTY
FAIR
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EX-
HIBITS YET HELD

Lexington, Oct. 26.-The 18th an
nual fair OF the Lexington County
Fair association has come and gone,
after holding one of the most succ-
essful fairs in the history of the
association. While the attendance
was not quiet up to last year, the av
erage was good and the fair as 2
whole was all that could be disired
One of the most striking exhibits
was that of the Rikard KNITTING
company Of this place. The company
had two machines making socks,
which they sold as fast as
the machines could turn them out.
the machines were run by a gasoline
engine, and attracted the attention of
every one. The product of the Rik-
ard compared favorably with larger
mills anb there is ready sale for the
output. Mr.. J, J. Rikard is pres
ident of the concern and Capt. l..
w. Redd is secretary and treasurer.
The mill has been running about
two months and is an entire success.
The plant, it is learned, will be en-
larged at an early date and more
machines installed.
The fair association will begin
early to make Improvements on the
buildings for the next fair, and moth
ing will be left undone that will add
to the success of the fair of 1909.
