state began the examination of A. c.
Robinson. the final talesman, of the
first twelve taken up.
Robinson said he had conscientious
soruples against voting for the death
penalty on circumstantial evidence
and would not vote for it under such
evidence.
Judge Bordwell took the talesman
in hand.
''If In criminal ~ase the proof %
circumstances satisfied your mind be,
yond q reasonable DOUBT that the de-
tendant was guilty, would you vote to
find him guilty." asked the court.
Yes said Robinson.
The state then passed Robinson
temporarily, but he was recalled by
District Attorney Fredericks and said
positi' ely that he could not hang a
man on circumstantial evidence, and
was challenged for implied bias.
The defense resisted the challenge.
The defense soon withdrew its OBJ
lection to the challenge but Judge
Bordwel asked the juror further
questions.
''If l were satisfied that the defen-
dant we're guilty, / would vote him
guilty" finally said Robinson.
The court disallowed the chal-
lenge.
Does your honor wish to hear ar
guments on the laws?" asked Attor-
ney Horton.
II have three cases.
He was allowed to cite the cee-
brated Cluverius murder case of Vr-
ginia and some others.
"If think the ruling is wrong. I'll
change it," said the Judge. Il will
examine your cases.
II. Y. Quackenbush was recalled by
the defense which had reserved the
right of examining him further. He
said he had no prejudice against la
Dor unions.
Attorney Darrow referred to type
written slip.
Did you ever say that labor unions
ought to be driven out of the ooun-
try?" he asked.
II never did"
cor that the members ought to be
hanged"
mo-
"Or that the McNamaras ought to
be hanged?"
No"
Ever talk to John Walker about
the case?"
II don't know John walker"
He runs a grocery store near
you"
"Oh, that Walker--1 didn't know
his name was John. Perhaps
talked to him.
Attorney barrow passed Quacken-
bush until Monday. announcing that
he would produce Walker at the time
under subpoena.
Quackenbush was challenged by the
state for direct bias, after he had in
sisted that he would not vote for the
death penalty on circumstantial evil
dence.
Il haven't the face to resist that
challenge" said Darrow. and Quack-
enbush was excused.
The court then called to the chair
Otta A. lesson, challenged by the
defense after he had testified he had
fixed opinion that the Times was
dynamited.
Would you change your opinion II
you found IT was incorrect" asked the
court
NO.
"Do you mean to say you would
obstinately adhere to your opinion in
any event?"
Yes, | think so.
He said he could not act fairly and
impartialy and was excused.
The state declined to resist the chai-
lenge.
George w. Mckee against whom
challenge Is also pending by the
defense. was interrogated by Judge
Bordwell.

Take Notice.

In a short while we shall be
forced to revise our mailing list
and send out bills to every per-
sons who owes us twenty-five
cents or more. Just think what
this means to us--the post
age alone on one thousand OF
these statements costs us twenty
dollars, then the expense OF cleric
al work and stationery means twenty
dollars more, at least; and finally
a receipt mailed to every indi-
vidual is twenty dollars additional
Much of this trouble and expense
would be spared if each one OF
our subscribers would promptly
mail us the amount he thinks he
owes-you know about how much
you owe, and if it runs a few
cents over the paper will be sent
on until the account balances.
To those who have already paid,
this notice of course does not
apply.
Reader, won't you attend to
this matter NOW? 1t means little
to you, but with Us our entire years
labor is at stake.

A Blow to Charleston.

The election of Mr. Grace as
Mayor of Charleston, from the
viewpoint of a looker-on, seems to
be particularly regrettable just at
this time, when the old city is
making noble effort to claim her
own in the way Of commercial I'M
portance. In the very forefront
if not indeed the leading spirits
of the progressive movement, have
been Mayor Rhett and his follow
ing, and now to elect in his place
the man who took it upon himself
only few years ago in Senatorial
campaign to follow Mr. Rhett, then
a candidate for the United States
Senate, around the State and, with
a rancor and bitterness seldom
paralleled in State politics, hound
him down-to choose such man
as Mayor seems to the outside world
a singing rebuke to Mayor Rhett
and his policies.
The eyes of the whole State have
been upon the city of Charleston
pending this election and the out
come was awaited with eager in
terest. To many people through
out the State the result has
brought keen disappointment. In
our opinion the election OF MIR
Grace is by far a worse calamity
than the recent storm.

That Extra Session.

1t affords us pleasure to COM
mend Governor Blease's action in
refusing the petition of certain
citizens of Marlboro county to
call an extra session of the Legis-
lature for the purpose of enactlng
legislation to aid the farmers in
holding their cotton until they
can get a better price for It,.
The extra session would probably
cost the taxpayers fifty thousand
dollars, while the good to be
accomplished is extremely problem
atical. Moreover, as the Governor
argues, the man who cannot
afford to hold his cotton would
be taxed anyway to defray the
cost of a pindar-e eating session OF

that we now have the best printing
plant the paper has ever had and

Can a poor man be Governor
of Georgia. is a question that is
being discussed by the newspapers
of our neighbor State. We are not
posted enough in Georgia pol
itics to answer the question intel
ligently so far as that State is con-
cerned, but if the query arose as
regards our own State we should
unhesitatingly say that a poor man
can be Governor of South Carolina,
for we have had some mighty
poor Governors.

The Government tea farm IN
South Carolina, comprising one

said to have yielded twelve thou

worth at least one dollar a pound.
Maybe, if the cotton picking ma

staple away below the cost OF pro-
duction, our farmers can turn their
attention to the culture o. tea as
we'll as tobacco as a money crop.

ANCIENT LANDMARK BURNED

troyed Sunday Niahf.


troyed Sunday Night.
Fire broke out Sunday night about
1890 o'clock in the old Brockinton
dwelling at the North end of Acade-
my street and the building was
quickly reduced to ashes. Mr. w E
Jenkinson, who with his family
occupied the building, managed to
save the piano. but most Of the
other furniture was destroyed. The
cause of the fire is not positively
known, there being several theories
as to its origin. :.
The Brockinton house is an old
landmark Of the town and was sur
rounded by a grove Of fine shade
trees, which was badly damaged by
the fire. The building was owned
by Rev w S Martin and was partial
ly covered by insurance. The con-
tents, we understand, were insured
for 81, 500.
