PINK FRANKLIN CASE.
An Appeal T.,ncn to the United States
Court.

The State says the case of Pink
Franklin, the negro tried and con
Victed OF nrurder, will be taken To
the United States Court. Tuesday
Moofer and Adams. the negro attor-
neys representing the defendant, OBJ
tanned from Col. u. r. Brooks, the
clerk OF the supscmc court, the certi-
led copies in the case and the hear
ing means that the suffrage laws OF
South Carolina Will be tested. 1t is
claimed by the attorneys fer the de-
PENDANT that Franklin was not grant
ed a fair trial and that the selection
OF Jurors was in violation Of the con-
~stltution of the United States.
FRANKLIN was charged with the
killing of a constable and on trial
was convicted and sentenced to he
hung. lie was captured shortly after
thc homicide and was carried Aicct
to the ~penitcntiary, the feeling in
the ncighborhood being such that a
lynching was feared.
He was taken back to O]rangeburg
at the converting OF the September
term Of sessions court, and there
placed on trial for murder, Muo,cr g.
Adams defending him and made the
same pleas upon which the cas- low
goes to the United States su,,nme
court, but were Overrulcd by tla ar
cult judge presiding; but FrnnkIin
was convicted and was sentenced to
be hanged October pa, 1907 (His
wife, by the way, was tried with him,
but acqnitted.)
Moorcr and Adams her appealed
to the State supreme court. and this
appeal Of course stayed the exccu-
ton. The supreme court affirmed
the decision Of the lower court hand
ing down its decision March 17,h
last, but Chief Justice Pope on March
20th stayed the remittitur. upon no
ticc from Franklin's attorneys that Il
writ of error to the United States SUI
premc court a in curse of prepa-
ration.
The stay of rcmittitur % course
operated to prevent Franklin's being
rcSentenccd and executed. The pa
mitted to the court in Washington,
as before stated, and the case will
now remain as it IS until the hearing
comes on at Washington on the writ
OF error. At this hearing Moorcr
and Adams will represent Franklin
presented by Solicitor p. + Hide
brand, who is the States attorney of
record.

WARNING TO posTMAsTERs.
Merchants Resort to Tricks to Have
Their Packages Delivered.

Information having reached tho
Post"hice Department Of certain
methods by which the postal laws in
regard to the mailable and unmail-
able merchandise on rural routes
nav been evaded, Fourth Assistant
postmaster Degraw has taken stems
to prevent future cvasions.
ltnral carriers arc permitted to de-
I'VE as express matter for hire. for
patrons OF their routes, unmailohle
merchandise and packages of mail
ablc merchandise Weighing in excess
OF 1our pounds. An example OF the
abuse of this privilege is that of n
merchant who sent out by rural ear
rler as extra matter a pair OF shoes
TO winch he added a bag Of salt to
make the package overweight and
to avoid paying postage so that the
carrier might carry the package for
hire.
In view Of such abuses, Mr.. De-
graw has issued the following state
mont: "All packages of merchan-
disc to be sent out by rural carriers
by merchants of the town should he
presented at %postonice for inspection
and in case ii is found hat oXtrancous
matter not ordered by the patrons
has been added to any mailablc mat.

should not receive any mail matte,

~incrcasiu" Tmingly In the United
states is is the conclusion reach
ed i" crnmcnt experts, who have
c'"' ed the subject. They say the
Sc is not confined to any partic-
m section Of the United States but
is generally prevalent throughout the
country. The report on the subject
strongly recommends that all dogs be
.muzzlcd, and tho declaration is made
that the disease cannot be stamped
out until the dogs are muzzled for a
period OF several years. The exper-
fence of some European countries is
cited to show that only by the muz-
cling of dogs can the disease be alb
solutely eradicated.
