SOUTH CAEtLIAAs0Y THE ONLY
EYE WITNESS TO TIE KILLING.
JURY STOOD blsE 10 THREE

f. large number ot our citizen:
have just returned from Flerids
where they have been attending the
second trial of T. S. Glover for the
murder of Edwin S. Rawl. Il will
be recalled hat Nj. Rawl was shot
at lumber camp known as Alco
about one year ago; and from the
statement of the only eye witness,
Allen Perry, South Carolina boy,
the killing was without legal just:fi-
cation. However, there was another
mistrial in the case, the j,ry s,snl-
ing nine to three. So we a.e inform
ed by those Preser'. instead of clev-
en- to one as formerly published.
The friends and relatives of Mr..
Rawl, who have been to Florida or
this case. say that numerous un-
founded reports have been circula-
ted throughout the county in which
the trials were had derogatory to
the deceased and IA, orable 70 ti..

case BY stating Oil examination that
they had foImcd and expressed o.
pinions relative 10 he case, and
some went SO fas rs t. say that they
had been introduced 10 the defend
ant since they became jurors. This
state of affairs, it is presumed,
prompted the presiding Judge to
deliver the jury, when about to dis
charge them, an excellent talk on
the subject of jury duty urging them
as good citizens TO discountenance
any and every effort to influence or
tamper with jurors in the discharge
of their duties. This action on the
part of the judge was very crafty
ing to the members of the Rawl
family. who are anxious that this
case should be tried before an i'm
partial jury.

Washington, Dec. 8.--That Pres,

Southern ones is the information
which has been pretty thoroughly
discussed among the politicians of
Washington ard elsewhere since
Booker Washington was here last
week. AS the result of this policy
it is expected that the negroes in
tie South who are holding impor-
tant offices will, as heir toms ex-
pire, be displaced for the most part
by whites. and in turn recognition
will be given to colored men in the
North. The list of colored men
holding important Offices in the
South under the Federal Govern
ment includes the following:
Robert Smalls, collector of Gus

Notice to Bicycle Riders.

There has for some time been an in
creasing habit among bicyclists of ST
Joseph, to ride on the side walks, which
is in strict violation to the town ordi-
nance, and is punishable by fine and i'm.
prisonment. For some time have hes
itated to use extreme measures for the
suppression of this nuisance, contentino
myself with quietly warning violators
against riding on the sidewalks, but
there being so little abatement of same. I
must in the future insist on strict en-
fOrcement of this ordinance and will ar
rest all violators.
That there may be no misunderstanding
as to my duty in the premises, herewith
append the ordinance referred to and
warn all bicyclists that same win be
vigorously enforced in the future.
