What may be the real start of a
boxing caree- began yesterday, when
Jim McVeigh, a local boy, who has
been fighting about here. dropped in
and asked for a letter to Jimmy De
Forest. He was given one. what
train are you going on?" Mcveigh was
asked. He muttered something about
blind baggage" Since other promi-
nent p~rize-f1ghters started much the
same way. Mcveigh's trip to Allen
hurst, where De Forest has his stable,
may not be without avail. for the local
boy wants to work. McVeigh is said
to be a promising lad.

AGAINST GOVERNMENT PRINT
Bill to Prohibit Government Furnish
ing Printed Envelopes in Compe-
tition with Printers.

Hon W. E. TouVelle, member of
congress Of the fourth Ohio district,
has sent us a bill which he has in
trodueed prohibiting the government
to sell printed stamped envelopes. 1t
does seem unfair that. the govera
ment should go into competition with
the printers in the matter Of print
ing envelopes. AS a result it has al
most monopolized this class Of trade.
Not only does the government do
this work but in way it solieits the
work. The government prints enve-
lopes and furnishes them for less
money than ordinary printers can
buy the plain envelopes. The Her
aid and News would call the attention
of Congressman Aiken to this bill and
if he thinks it is a fair bill would be
pleased to have him give it his sup
port. The following is the bill:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives Of the Uni
ted States Of America in Congress
assembled, that from and after the
approval of this Act it shall be un-
lawful for the Post Office Department
or any officer, head Of bureau, or chief
Of division thereof, to print Or have
printed, or sell or offer to sell any
stamped envelope bearing upon it a
printed direction giving the name Of
any individual, firm or company, or
any number of any postoffee box or
drawer, or any street number or the
name Of any building t. which it
shall be returned if uncalled for or
undelivered. Provided that this shall
not apply to those envelopes printed
with return card left blank as to
name, address, box, drawer, street
number, Or building, and which only
give the name of the town or city,
with the State, district or Territory.

Senator Weston's Bill.
An important bill which has been
introduced by Senator Weston pro-
vides that when any corporation 9th
er than banking institution shall
be found to be insolvent or IN con-
dition hazardous to policy holders,
the creditors, the public or the in
surance commissioner may, with the
advice and consent Of the attorney
general, apply to any competent
court for an order to show cause why
the insurance commissioner should
not take charge Of and conduct the
business, and should the insurance
commissioner be directed to take
charge, he shall conduct the business
until, on application, it should ap-
pear that the cause for the hazard
GUS condition has been removed. In
case Of insolvency he is to wind up
the affairs Of the concern. He Is
given authority to appoint such
clerks and special deputies as may
be necessary.
The bill would devolve upon the
State bank examiner similar duties
as to banking institutions.

ACCUSED OF NFANTICIDE.
Young Woman Arrested at Columbia
Under Serious Charge. ~

Columbia, January 27.--A eoro-
ner's jury having declared that the
infant whose body was found in a
gutter two days ago i'm this city came
to its death by violent means, Miss
Annie Odom, the mother of the
child, is in Jail charged with the
murder. The jury, after hearing a
number of witnesses and having be-
fore it the testimony of physicians,
rendered verdict that, the child
came to its death by being strangied
or by having something rammed In
to it's mouth or by other violent
means at the hands of Annie Odom.
The testimony showed that Annie
Odom was the mother Of the baby,
and she was therefore held respons-
ible for its death.
Miss Odom is woman about twen-
ty-fve years of age. She is in Jail
tonight and it is hardly probable
that she will be admitted to bail. The
mangled body Of the infant was
found by young man on his way to
work day before yesterday. The m
quest has occupied two sessions.

would be impossible, as nearly ev-
cry body has long since lost their re-
ceipts, or have forgotten ahe
amounts paid in by them.
In case the amount apportioned to
South Carolina, which I understand
to be about six millions, should be
returned to the State, very few, if
any claims, could be established and
it seems to me the greatest good
that could be done the people would
be tehn to apply one-third Of this
amount on the State debt, one-third
to education and the remaining third
to the old Confederate soldiers and
their widows.
It seems to me there could be no
objection to this plan, as no loyal
South Carolinian could object to the
old soldiers reaping some of the ben
efts from this fund and in that way,
at least, recognizing their services to
the State when she was most In need.
The application of one-third of
the fund toward the payment Of the
State debt would, In measure, wipe
out the burden put upon US by the
Radical and Carpetbag government,
and in giving third towards ed
ucation, the children Of this State
and future generations would get
some benefit; in fact, a great deal
Of benefit, and what was so unjustly
wrerched from Us could in that way
be turned to a benefit.
As stated in the beginning, ]
hope you will pardon this intrusion
on your time, but the more 1 think
Of this matter the more I feel that
the Southern States are entitled to a
return of this money, and I hope eV-
cry Southern Congressman will ex-
ert all of his influence to bring about
the passage of such a bill and. in
case it is passed, then cam think of
no fairer distribution of the fund
than the one suggested.
AS I go in and out among the peo-
pie, 1 realize more and more that
my old comrades in arms actually
need assistance, and anything that
can be done for them should be doae
quickly.
Yours sincerely,
NJ. NJ. Buford.

The act Of 1887 evidently sought to.
simplify the old colonial law, passed
in England when the church had
much of a say so in such matters,
and give the mother the same rights
as the father, in case. Of his death,
but the terms in which the amend
mens became adopted and incorporate
ed in the code, appear to have gone
backward instead Of forward as re.
CARDS the mother. ....... -.
This old colonial law says: -, p.

der the age of one and twenty years,
and not married, at the time Of his
death, that it shall and may be law
fu! to. and for the father Of such
child or children by his deed exc
cuted in his life time, or by his last
will and testament to dispose Of the
custody and tuition or such child
or children" etc.
All Favor a Change.
There is no doubt about the legis-
iature being overwhelmingly in IA:
vor of changing the act Of 1887, but
there are a number of members who
doubt the wisdom Of pressing for
the enactment Of such a bill while
the Tillman case is pending, as they
fear this would light up old politi-
cal fires and bring on useless strife.
And it seems hardly probable that
a final decision in the Tillman case
will be secured before the adjourn
ment of the legislature. This de-
pends upon whether the supreme
court will send case back for refer
ence; and whether this will be done
the suprem court itself does not yet
know and Will not know till both
sides are heard next Monday.

AS TO COTTON TAX.
Sheriff NJ. M. Buford Has Written
An Important Letter to Con-
gressman Aiken.

Sheriff NJ. NJ. Buford has been
giving good deal Of attention and
study to the proposition Of the Fed
eral government to refund the tax
collected on cotton from the South
ern farmer just after the war.
It is stated the amount collected
from South Carolina was more than
s6,OOO,OoO.
Sheriff Buford has made the cal
culation and finds that interest on
this amount for forty three years at
7 per cent. will be $l8,O60,OOO which
added to the principal would make
this claim $24,O6O,0OO. But if count
ed at 4 per cent. the interest would
be S1O,32O,O0O which added to the
original claim would be $16, 100000.
Sheriff Buford is right in holding
that this money was wrongly taken
from our people and should be re-
funded but to undertake to give it
directly to those from whom it was
taken or their heirs would be a prac-
tical impossibility. He suggests that
it be equally divided among the old
soldiers, education and the State
debt. Why not invest it as a per-
manent endowment fund for the sup
port and maintenance Of our colleges
and thus place them beyond the ne
cessity Of an annual appropriation
out of the tax furd, ,oras a permanent
endowment for the common schools
in the various counties. Make an
educational fund out of it.
The following is Sheriff Buford 5
letter to Congressman Aiken:
Newberry, S. c., Jan. Is, 10.
Hon. Wyatt Aiken, M. c.,
Washington, D. C.
My Dear Sir:-I trust you will
pardon my intrusion on your valu-
able time to make suggestion con-
cer11ing the funds realized from
taxes on cotton just after the war by
the United States Government.
I understand that it has been de-
cided that this tax was unconstitu-
tional, and that being the case it
should be returned to the people
from whom 1t was collected, and in
case that cannot be done, then to the
States in proportion to the amount
paid by their citizens.
If bill could be passed returning
to the State government the amount
paid under this tax BY citizens of
this State, to be by the State distrib-
uted to the proper owners, Of course,
in some few instances, individuals
could prove their claims, but in the
great majority of instances proof

ilege, and said he wanted to reply to
Mr. Richards remark, "made in a
sneering manrer'' that Mr.. Richards
was not surprised that the gentle
man from Union should object to TAX
ing up the bill out Of its regular or
der. He said his record for patriot
ism and devotion to the interests OF
the State would compare favorably
with that of Mr.. Richards. He op-
posed taking up the bill out of It's
order, he sai1y because it was well
known how TIE house would vote up
on it, and "what is the necessity OF
making it a special order to crafty
the insane ambition of the gentleman
from Kersbaw, who after laborlnS
year in and out to, preserve the
State dispensary, now grabs She pro-
Inhibition animal by the tail, hoping
that the animal will take him into the
executive mansion on Arsenal hill, f"
he said.
Mr.. Richards said the remarks Of
Mr.. Browning were absolutely be-
meath his notice, but in reply to Mr..
Dixon he urged that the house should
not sit supinely. and wait until it saw
what the senate had done. By a
vote of 81 to "a the bill was taken
up out Of it's order, and by a vote OF
49 to 80 it was made a special order
for Tuesday morning at : i o'clock.
