SOME oCoNEH LEGAL LIGHTS.
Oklahoma Paper Calls Forth Some
"reminiscences Of the Past.

Seneca, April 29.-Hditors Keowee
Courier: I am in receipt of copy
of the Tahlequah Herald, sprightly
and interesting eight-page newspaper
published at Tahlequah. in Cherokee
county, Oklahoma. 1t Is replete with
information as to the conditions, pros
poets, laws and resources of the new
State.
AS some Of our people have gono,
and others contemplate going, to Ok
lahoma, perhsed this paper with a
great deal of interest. But the part
which pleased me most, and will most
please his numerous friends in this
county, is the complimentary terms
In which 1t speaks of Judge j. H.
Pitchford, who was born and raised
IN Walhalla. 1t praises the dignity
and fairness with which he presides,
as well as the able and learned man
ner in which he administG- IS the law
and metes out justice, tempered with
mercy" to the Oklahoma transgres-
sor, be he or she white, Indian, mixed
or black. From the published pro-
ceedings Of the court it seems there
have been, and are now, many VIOLA
tions of the criminal law, requiring
just such Judge as the present in
cumbent. The very name OF Henry
Pitchford will recall to many Of us
the happy days of our boyhood, and
the success he has achieved reminds
me that other Oconee boys, contem-
porary with him, have distinguished
themselves In the legal profession;
among them Henry (Puck) Kuht-
man, now of Texas; John R. Abney,
now of Washington, D. c., once Cir
cult Solicitor and Attorney General
of this State during his residence
prominent member of the Columbia
bar; John Cappelmann, of Charles
ton, ex-member Of the Legislature;
John s. Werner, of Columbia, mem
ber of the noted wallace House"
in 1876, the year of our political re-
demption from carpet-bag and scala
wag rule, afterward Comptroller Cen
eral of the State, and. later Master
for Richland county; James P. Ca
rey, Of Pickens, member of the pres
ent Legislatures; Jos. w. Shelor, of
The Keowee Courier, for many years
United States Commissioners, and sue
cessful lawyer; Major VIM. J. Strlb-
ling and e. L. Herndon, both ex-
members of the Legislature, and each
having large and lucrative practice;
Col. r. T. Jaynes, distinguished both
as criminal and civil lawyer; and
lastly Martin F. Ansel, first men,
> ber of the Legislature from Green
Vile county, then Solicitor of the 8th
Circuit, and now Governor OF South
Carolina.
Most, If not all of these gentlemen,
studied law under either the brilliant
w. C. Keith, the immaculate Joseph
j. Norton, the learned Whitner, the
peerless Dendy or the venerable Col
Robt. A. Thompson, who Is one Of
the only two surviving members Of

More than 100 taxpayers Of the

crowded into the council chamber
Thursday morning to have their say
about the proposed opening OF Lafay-

jority OF the citizens seemed to favor
the proposition. and agreed that the
benefits TO be derived from the extern
sion are many. but the question Of ey-
pense was the one uppeImost In their
minds. according to the sentiments ex.
pressed.
I'VE want to know how much II Is
going TO cost us before the work Is
started" was, in substance. the way
several of the taxpayers put 1t up TO
the street opening committee. None
OF the members could enlighten their.
Not even an approximate estimate
was vouchsafed. And the taxpayers
were as much in the dark when they
left as before.
The committee took no action on the
matter. but will probably take 1t up
again before the next council meeting.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Nov. 1.-THE
result OF the financial war within the

LEAGUE, MICHIGAN BRANCH
SUPERINTENDENT INSISTS.

Supt. George w. Morrow. OF the
Michigan Anti-Saioon league, does not
confess any great interest in the
statements Of c. r. Mabee. who has
sued the league for alleged breach OF
contract and who makes various
charges against its officers.
Maybe was never really officially
connected with the organization. He
came to me some time ago and said
he thought he could interest indus
trial corporations in the anti-saloon
movement. | was willing TO give him
chance TO make a showing and he
came back~when he thought he had
made one.
"The committee did not think his
showing satisfactory, however, and he
was not retained. II IL untrue that
he has ever received any offer from
us to settle his suit. He would like 70
have II appear that such an offer had
been made but II has not.
"Maybee has been sending literature
and letters broadcast In his campaign
against US. That takes great deal
of money. Where he gets 1t, l can
only surmise.
1T Is almost too much TO ask me
to discuss his charges. He said that
John ID. Rockefeller had withdrawn a
subscription of $350.000. Inasmuch as
the total revenue Of the league Is
only $339.000 per year, 1t IL evident
that no such subscription has been
withdrawn.
This league has not refused to CO
operate with other temperance bodies
or with the churches. Quite the con-
trary-we want to work with them In
every way to achieve the result aimed
at.

he speaks OF In December. l know
nothing about it. The churches have
Endorsed this body and have repre-
