Claims She is Prosecuted.

Spartanburg, Dec. 22.-Bearing
with her tale Of persecution,
which she connects with the killing
of Boyce Stone, a young white man,
by her husband at Greer, Sarah
Fowler, colored, arrived at the po-
lice station to-day and complained
that she was being persistently fol-
lowed and evasively threatened by
two white men, of whose identity she
is not sure. The woman says that
the men have learned where she
lives and have several times follow
ed her home from the family home,
where she cooks on Dean street.
It is further reported upon author
ity of friends of the woman that her
house was entered by white men sew
eral nights ago, but she was away
from home at the time, only her
children being there, the children be-
ing told that if their mother could
be found she would be killed. Sun
day night, it is claimed, while Sarah
was attending church, the white
men again visited her home, and,
finding that she had been to church,
a message was sent her that her life
was yet to be taken. The woman,
upon being thus informed, became
highly excited, and this excitement
spread to the other members of the
congregation when they learned the
story.
1t will be remembered that Boyce
Stone was killed at Greer several
months ago, the trouble occurring at
the home of Henry Fowler. When
Stone and a friend reached the Fowl
er home, it is claimed, Fowler was
working in the field, his wife being
at the house. The men, it is declar-
ed, attempted an assault, her
screams brought Fowler to the res
cue and in the row which followed
between him and the two men,
Fowler shot anG killed Stone.

VICTORY FOR PROHIBITION.
Federal Judge Refuses to Nullify
Georgia Law.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 24.-State pro-
hibition won victory in the United
States circuit court here today when
a decision was handed down by
Judge w. T. Newman, .dismissing a
petition attacking the constitutional
ity of the Georgia prohibition law.
Judge Newman did not pass upon
the constitutionality of the law, but
dismissed the petition on the ground
that he had no jurisdiction. holding
that it was a matter for the State
courts, and could reach federal
courts only by a writ of error from
the State supreme court. The suit
was a petition for injunction by the
Christian Moerlein Brewing COM
pany, of Cincinnati, and the Chatta-
nooga Brewing company to enjoin
Atlanta city officials from prosecut-
ing alleged violations of the law.
The petition attacked the constitu-
tionality of the law on three
grounds:
First. That the prohibition bill
contained duality of subject mat
ter, in violation of the State constitu-
ton.
Second. That the legislature eX-
ceeded it's authority in destroying a
thing (the sale of iquor) which the
State constitution specifically recog-
nizes as taxable.
Third. That the identical bill did
not receive constitutional majority
in both houses of the legislature.
In his decision Judge Newman
says:
"The subject matter of this case
is purely one for the courts of the
State. The legislation was in pursu-
ance of what was believed to be the
proper exercise of the police power
of the State. This is essentially a
matter for the courts of the State
and ultimately for the supreme court
OF the State. So far as federal ques-
tions are insisted upon, they can
reach and be heard by the supreme
court of the United States by writ
of error from that court Estate SUI
preme court) to the highest court of
the country"

result of a heated controversy,
which almost threatened to disrupt

Association, at a called meeting yes

and he is Missing.

Nyack, N. Y, Dec 27.-The end
of the world did not come to-day, as

HAWAII TAXPAYERS
EXPRESS Discomfort
press Correspondence

HTLO, Hawaii, September 7.-On
September 3, when County Auditor Ma
guire presented his balance sheet to the
Board of Supervisors of Hawaii County,
it was shown that there was cash bal
ance to the county credit of SOL $50.
Before the Board had adjourned on the
same afternoon it had appropriated over
$4,000 of this amount, and already,
within few days of the tax distribu-
ton by the Territory, the county is face
to face again with deficit. This is
the way that county government is
working out on the largest island of
the group, and it is this sort of thing
that causes many of the leading citizens
and property holGers here to express
the opinion that government by COM
mission or something that will transfer
the government to competent persons
would be welcome, let the drawbacks
be what they may.
1t is probable that the Advertiser
will be formally condemned by the
county fathers here for expressing any
opinion concerning their financial meth
DDS. Last week the Hawaii Herald I'M
dertool1 to criticize, and as result a
resolution was passed taking all county
work away from the Herald and be-
slowing it on the Tribune. This was
done by combination of the lone Re-
publican on the Board with the three
Home Rulers, an unholy alliance that
has prevailed in all the funny work of
the Hawaii supervisors.

lence of an illegal practice among the
intending japanese emigrants to 60 to
the United States, its territories, and
Canada by means of passports of
others. Some persons cause their
friends staying in these foreign coun-
tries to send by post certificates issued

authorizing their return after a soiourn
abroad. Then the former, claiming
that they are returning TO the said for
