IL was Monday evening when we
found the body of poor Thomas. Mon.
day night had been uneventful; things
were quiet at the house and the pc.
culiar circumstances of the old mans
death had been carefully kept from
the servants. Rosie took charge of
the dining room and pantry, in the alb
sence of a butler, and, except for the
warning of the Casanova doctor, every
thing breathed of peace.
Affairs at the Traders bank were
progressing slowly. The failure had
hit small stockholders very hard, the
minister of the little Methodist chapel
In Casanova among them. He had
received as legacy from an uncle a
few shares Of stock in the Traders
bank, and now his Joy was turned to
bitterness; he had to sacrifice every.

feeling against Paul Armstrong, dead

the extreme. He was asked to of

That article five is inconsistent with
the theory that the States have sur

shows beyond question, that ultimate
power resided with the people of the

of the United States. That they are

JUSTICE GARY ADVANCES
NEW THEORY on THE WAR

Augusta Chronicle.
Columbia, Oct. 6.-The people of the
South can now feel that they had a
legal right to withdraw from the un-
ion. Breaking down all of the argu-
ment of Daniel Webster and bringing
out new facts and points Of law never
before discussed by any jurist or his
torian Associate Justice Eugene 5.
Gary, Of the South Carolina supreme
court, today addressed the law class
at the University of South Carolina.
The address was one Of the most no
table ever delivered in this State and
will surely change some of the views
on the War Between the Sections. The
address has attracted widespread dis
cussion here and is considered bril-
liant effort.
The following fundamental princi-
pies are laid down by Associate JUS
tice Gary.
That when the convention met in
1887 the several States we're in pos
session of their sovereign rights.
That the people of the respective
States are distinct from the people OF
the United States (referred to as the
people in the aggregate) as if they
were citizens of different countries, In
no wise dependent upon each other.
That the resolution adopted by con-
gress, under which the convention was
held did not confer upon it, the power
to change the structural formation of
the State governments, which could
only be effected by submitting such
question to the people Of the several
/ States.
That the people of the United States
mentioned in the preamble, necessar-
! lily had reference to the people of the
several States, as otherwise they
would have stated an erroneous fact
and would have been without force
and effect, as the powers of the con-
vention, were merely advisory and
we're exhausted, when it proposed a
constitution for ratification in the
manner herein provided.
That even. if all legislative, judicial
and executive powers we're conferred
upon general government, the people
of the several States would not there
! by be precluded from resuming them,
whenever they saw fit, unless they,
also, surrendered their sovereignty.
That each State at the time of the
convention, possessed ali Of the char
ecteristics of nation, one Of which is,

constitution, by adding a provision,
that each retains its right to secede
or by striking out every provision OF
the constitution and inserting others
wholly inconsistent with them, except
the provision that no State without it's
consent, shall be deprived of equal
suffrage in the senate.

The call issued by Capers says in
part:
Wherefore, as the members of the
national Republican committee for
our State, I write you to say that
after full consultation with personal
friends and due notice you will please
cause to be assembled at your county
seat at y o'clock Wednesday. October

the policies of the national Republican
party, and from such a meeting elect

OF the party have been called to meet
in all Of the counties of the State on
October 26 and elect delegates to the
State convention or party reclama-
ton meeting" to be held on the fol-
lowing day in Columbia.
The negro Republican convention
was held in Columbia several weeks
ago and after much discussion elected
J. ". Tolbertt to the State chairman
ship. The negro, Ed. Daas, was ousted
Now it seems that the national Re-
publican party will refuse to recog-
nize the negro Republican convention
and that the convention was held all
in vain, according to John Capers.
Let.Alone Policy.
At the time of the negro convention
there was a strict let-alone policy
adopted by the white Republicans Of
the State. Only three white men at
tended the convention ana one OF
these was elected chairman.
The negroes in several districts Of
the State have declared that they will
put q ticket in the field for congress
sional honors. This means that there
will be a black Republican, white
Republican and Democrat all seek
ing the same office. 1t has been stat
ed that ". L. Richardson, negro, of
Sumter, will oppose A. F. Lever from
this district. No wcomes the white

likely be placed in the field against
Lever and Richardson. Just what the
issues between the white candidate
and the negro candidate will be is not

TWO BOYS HURT IN
COASTING SMASH-UP.
Kloman Brothers, on Bob
Crash Into Tree.

While coasting on the William street
hill, East Orange. east from Arlington
avenue, on Saturday afternoon, several
small sleds We're attached to a bobsled
and in the short incline the trailers in
terfered with the management of the
larger tlier, which was laden with
young people, n the bob went into a
tree and sent the occupants flying.
h boys escaped unhurt, with the ex-
ception of Lorenz and Francis Kloman.
7 and 5 years old, sons of Charles Klo-
man. president Nof the Mutual Equip
ment Company, of Market street, this
city. The WI were severely shaken up
and Lorenz suffered a slight conclusion
of the brain and is somewhat overcome
by shock, while his younger brother got
off with a badly bruised face. The lads
were assisted to their home in Park
avenue, East Orange. near Grove street,
and medical aid summoned. They are
reported as resting easily today.
The boys, with their parents, removed
to East Orange two weeks ago from
Westfield. There are two other chill
dren, Carl, aged 9. and Marion. aged 2.
The hill where the accident took place
is a short but sharp incline, and has
been annually the scene of bob-sledding
for young folk of the city.

COASTERS CRASH
into TREE; GIRLS
LEG IS FRACTURED
Miss May Caunitz, OF Arlington,
Hurt in Acknowledgement
of Bob" Also Injured.

Owing to a mistake in steering a
bob-sled on which a half-dozen young
people were eoasting down the North
Midland avenue hill in Arlington on
Saturday night, and which caused the
sled to crash into a tree, May Caunitz,
1~s9year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Caunitz. of 106 ~Stuyvesant ave-
nue.. Arlington, is laid up at her home
with one leg broken at the ankle and
suffering from several bruises.
Lawrence Warnock, son of former
Councilman William X. Warnock. of
467 Chestnut street, Arlington, who was
steering the sled, sustained a severe
scalp wound and is also laid up at his
home. The others on the bob got a
shaking up, but escaped severe injury.
That more harm was not done is con-
sidered remarkable, inasmuch as the
sled, which started from the top of the
hill at Belgrove drive, had gained con-
siderable momentum down the long,
curved incline, struck the tree with
great force near the West Arlington
crossing of the Greenwood Lake branch
of the Erie railroad.
A telephone message sent from a
house nearby brought Drs. Rick and
Doremus and the Kearny police am
bulance. In the latter Policeman Holt
took the injured young woman to her
home after her injuries had peer tenn
porarily attended to by the physicians.
