THE TARIFF ABROAD AND HERE

Tia consul III tue United Staies at
ChemritZ, Germany, reports thar Ger
man commerce. IL declining aud that inn
ports and exports for OCtohcr are both
less than IN 1906. Such II decrease is
hardly to be wnudnrtd at, for tariff
the many, which throities commerce., is
the policy IN Germany MS in tile United
States. Carte S, winch we call truste,
besides an endi, ss IIui.her Of eyndi tee
and combinations to keep up prices, are
steadily reported IA the press of that
country. Tie objact Of tariff protection
in Germany was originally to help the
lando%ners-the Mis:ucracy Of that
country--hut the result has been to also
build up monopoly by mdust rial cor
poatioLs and manufacturers. The
advance in the price " meat, -four aud
other protected agricultural products
has enabled tine German farmers to pay
the high rents lie maDded by the land
lOrds, but the increased cost Of living
has weighed heavily upon the working
men. The manufacturers demanded
their share II protection, and, being
politically Influential the LAM lords were
compelled to admit the m to the sacred
tariff protected circle. The Iisfrau
ohised and unprotected artisans and
laborers are rioting III the streets OF
Berlin and demanding work and voi ca
Those with limited III comes, as With us,
are the worst sufferers, for they find no
increase i'll their ILcomes to Offset the
enormous increase in the cost of living
Ii will thus DO q, ell that while Cur
farmers are plundc! ed by the tariff, the
German farmers have been somewha /
helped 10y 1t, IL consequence of til, ir
arIstocratic landlords forcing protection
from agricultural products. That, of
course, decreases the demand for the
products of our farmers, and when the
new German tariff lnw goes into effect
it will be felt with ir,crr ased severity by
the United States. The temporary
tariff arrangement made by this country
with Germany, until congress provides
FOR reciprocity treaty with that com
try, is being attacked by our stundpat
tere, who will prevent any reduction Of
duties az long rs they control congrt ss.
Meadwhile England, With tariff
revenue only, ia increasing her CT m
merce and times are com paratively good
there. There arc no plunderlug trust,
and the farmers and worklnRmeo ar.
better of than ever before. How do
our standpat friends explain the good
conditions III England aud the lack Of
prosperity in Germany and the ULit ID

Another Tragedy Recalled.

Fairfax, Sept. 1.-THE death of
Mr.. J. Peter Priester, by his own
hand, at his home near Sycamore
last Saturday recalls another trag-
edy which occurred about 80 years
ago at the same homestead and but
a short distance from the same spot
where the suicide was committed.
William Henry Priester, twin
brother of the dead man, at that time
in a fit of anger shot and mortally
wounded his father, Capt. William
Priester. The parricide had only a
few months before married Miss
Long, of Greenville. In due course
of time he was tried for murder in
the circuit court at Barnwell, Judge
TT. Mackey presiding, and Col. Robt.
Aldrich, now circuit judge, represent
ed the defendant. The trial lasted
more than two days and Col. Aldrich
consumed four hours in making his
argument, which was said to have
been the most powerful appeal to
court and jury that had ever been
heard in that court house.
The defense was that the defend
ant was insane when he committed
the deed and the jury acquitted him
on that ground, and Judge Mackey
had him sent to the lunatic asylum
in Columbia, where he died few
months afterward.
Capt. Priester was possessed OF
considerable wealth and when he re-
allied that he was mortally wounded
he made his will, giving everything
that he possessed to his son, John Pc
ter, his only child, except the parri-
eide.
John Peter married Miss Lamar
Williams, who died eight or ten years
ago. He was evidently of unsound
mind, having been adjudged insane
at one time during his wife's life
time and was sent to the hospital for
the insane, but did not remain there
long. At the time of his death he
was in very bad health, which, no
doubt, was the cause of his rash act.
He leaves several grown children.

Sheriff Kills His Man.

Gainesville, Ca, Sept. 21.-Sheriff
W. w. Beard, of Clay county, was
shot five times here this morning by
George Thomas, the negro alleged to
have murdered the Bius boys about
ten days ago, and Thomas in turn
was shot and killed by the sheriff
Sheriff Beard met Thomas on the
street and ordered him to halt
Thomas opened fire and wounded
Beard five times before he could draw
his pistol. Beard finally got his pis-
tol out and shot Thomas dead. Sher-
iff Boards condition is reported tc
be critical.
Three other negroes, Essie Cole,
man, Alma Johnson and Savannah
Woods, the woman whose house is
near the scene of the tragedy, are
confined in the county jail as acces-
sories.
The only evidence against Essie
Coleman and Alma Johnson is that
they were with George Thomas on
the night of the murder. Coleman
claims to have been drunk and re-
members nothing. Johnson is unable
to give an account of herself.

UNCLE BEN IN RING.
Will Soon be Back to Take Part in
National Politics.

Columbia, Sept 19.-The impress
sion that seems to have prevailed
over the State for some time that
Senator Tillnan would have to be a
passive figure in politics upon his re-
turn from his European trip is with
out foundation, according to DR.. j.
W. Babcock who has just returned to
Columbia after spending four months
with the Senator abroad.
DR.. Babcock says the Senator rec
ognized as he should have done years
ago his limitation, but he will get
right into the political game upon his
return. He is practically recovered,
the doctor says.
In spite of all he could do to pre-
vent it, the Senator is returning to
take part in the presidential cam
paign for Bryan. The Senator re-
mains a month longer in Scotland.

Manchester, Eng, Sept. 21.-More
than 400 cotton mills in Lancashire

pute over wages between operatives
and employers. This means that 40
600, 900 spindles are wholly or par

100000 of capital is not bringing in
any return, and shat 100000 opera
tives are without work and losing
something over. 100000 in wages a
week. In view of the present condi-
ton of the market, it is not felt here
that the strike will last long, for the
card room workers are expected soon
to take second ballot and agree to
the 5 per cent. reduction in wages,
which already has been accepted by
the spinners.

ORANGEBURG SENSATION.
White Man Arrested on Charge OF
Assassination.

A warrant was issued this morning
by Magistrate C. P. Brunson, upon an
affidavit made by Mr.. Frank NJ. De-
Mars for the arrest of one P. W. Har-
ley upon the charge of murder. The
warrant is made out upon informa-
ton and belief, that on or about Dec.
20, 1907, that one P. W. Harley at
the Bull swamp Bridge in this State
and county did shoot, kill, and MUIR
der one R. A. Jeffcoat.
1t was only short while after the
warrant had been issued, and placed
in the hands Of constable, that Har-
ley was placed under arrest, and he
is at present in the county Jail.
The issuing of the warrant and the
arrest this morning, was the result
of work done by detective who has
been working in the lease for some
months past. The detective was sent
here by Gov. Ansel, and Solicitor
Hildebrand has been instructed to
prosecute the case to the end. The
defendant will doubtless appear at
a preliminary, but the date Of this
has not yet been fixed.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Jeffcoat was returning to his home
one Saturday night from North, and
that he was shot from ambush. He
fell from his buggy, but managed to
crawl some distance, and was found
sometime afterwards mortally wound
ed. He was taken to Columbia for
treatment where he fingered for
sometime, finally he succumbed to
his wounds. The killing was mys-
terious one.

It is gratifying to note that the
white population of South Carolina
is increasing. The second primary
election clearly proved this, as no.
600 votes were polled, seven thous-
and more than were polled in the
first primary. The vote of the Sec
ond primary was the largest ever
known in the State, which shows that
our white population is increasing
rapidly.

chance of recovery. His skull was
crushed and he was injured internal
