said not to be large, although other
shipments will follow at intervals. Mr..
John Marshall, who represents the
turfmen, was asked about the matter
today. He said that If the horses had
been shipped, he hao not been inform
ed of 1t. He had not anticipated the
shipping of horses Until the stables
had been erected so that the stock
could be properly cared for and exer-
cised on the track.
-Greenville, October 19: Among the
true bills returned by the United
States circuit court in session here Is
one against a man named Palmer, a
resident of Oconee county, the indict-
ment being for alleged conspiracy
against a Federal officer in the dis
charge of his duty. and also for mur-
der. 1t appears from the record that
Palmer had been sentenced in the
state courts to life Imprisonment for
murder, and was pardoned by Cover
nor Blease some time ago. The case
brought against the man In the Fede-
raj court Is an unusual one. 1t Is the
outgrowth of the killing Of United
States Deputy Corbin, who went to
Oconee county to serve a warrant on
a relative Of Palmer, and 1t is alleged
that Palmer and number Of his par
tisans attacked the officer from am
bush, killing him and his brother, who
accompanied him. Palmer was tried
Tor this crime and sentenced to life
Imprisonment, and, as stated, is now
free, having been pardoned by the
governor. It now appears that the gov
ernment will try him on the same
charge. Witnesses have been sum-
moned and the case may come up ear
ly next week. Judge Smith, who sue
ceeded Judge Brawley, Is presiding for
the first time here, and he has an un-
usually heavy docket to dispose Of.
- Gaffney, October 10: News reached
this city this morning that Will Will
kins, a prominent man of Cowpens,
ex-mayor Of that town and formerly
bank official, had been shot and Sc
riously injured by F. w. Johnson, a
ticket collector of the Southern rail-
way. The report states that Mr.. Will
kins was coming to his home on train
No. 40 last night when a dispute arose
between the ticket collector and Will
kins. 1t Is said that the dispute soon
grew into a quarrel, the trouble being
over the mileage to be pulled to Cow
pens, and that Mr.. Wilkins informed
the collector If he would get off at
Cowpens, he would whip him. A few
minutes later the train rolled into the
Cowpens yard, whereupon the collect
or alighted from the train. The story
goes that he was then assaulted by
Mr.. wilkins, being struck three times.
He was knocked against a box car.
whereupon he drew his pistol and
fred, the bullet taking effect in Will
kins' left shoulder about two inches
above the heart. The injured man
was quickly rushed to Spartanburg and
the advices now are that he will re-
cover. 1t seems that the bullet glanc-
ed instead of entering the lung. John
son reboarded his train, but came back
on No. 35 to Spartanburg, where he
surrendered to the police authorities.
Johnsons home is said to be in Cor
dele, Ga, and according to railroad
men he is quiet and peaceable and en-
joys a good reputation.

The fact that the people Of South
Carolina continue to stand the school
book imposition is evidence that they
are willing to stand anything. There
has been but little Improvement in
any of the school books during the
past twenty or thirty years. notwith-
standing the constant change that is
going on, and there is no good reason
why parents should be subjected to
the heavy drain that is being made
upon them. The people need to be
thoroughly aroused on this subject
for their own protection. If they
half way understand how they are be-
ing imposed upon in the matter they
would not stand for it longer than
the next campaign.

At the recent election California
voted on so many constitutional
amendments that one Of the best of
them, one that was adopted, is in dan
ger of being overlooked. This amend
ment provides that no judgment shall
be set aside or a new trial granted
in a criminal case on account of i'm
proper direction of the jury or the ad-
mission or rejection of evidence, un-
less, upon review Of the whole case,
including the evidence, the court shall
be convinced that the error has re-
suited in a miscarriage of justice. In
other words, if the correct verdict has
been reached, in accordance with the
evidence. and justice has been done, a
mere technicality shall not upset the
conclusion of the jury. That is COM
mon sense; it should be law every
where.-Columbia Record.
And that is an amendment we need
in South Carolina. Fully half of the
work of our supreme court grows out
of irregularities in procedure. OF
course regular procedure is neces-
sary; but there should be and could
be found other methods of securing
regularity than in setting aside sub
stantially correct verdicts and having
all the work done over again.

Accompanied by a posse consisting
of George PlexicO, Harvie Sherrer and
Leslie Crawford, Constable Jackson
broke up and captured an Illicit dis

township yesterday morning, and with
the plant also captured Ed Crocker
and John Grow. The raid on the still

negroes offered resistance by firing a
few shots, which the officers returned.
| Crocker was hit and fell over as if
badly wounded; but later took advant-

the officers got two breech-l loading
shotguns, The information Is that
this still has been in operation at diff

own life in trying to save his mules.
Mr.. Rainey had returned from the
meeting of Presbytery at Smyrna at
about II o'clock, and had been to bed
only n short while until he learned
that the barn was on fire. Fastening

" began to give his attention to an

all out but one, which gave more
trouble than the others. and while
working with it was overcome with

were insured. The barn contained

A STATEN EMIT.

Editor Yorkvllle Enquirer:
The piece you put in your paper
concerning Padgett, the Holiness
preacher, was not correct. He has
never been to our church and only
two or three of our members know
him. Nor Is the chapel being used
Jointly by Holiness and Come-outs.
One of the Come-outs preached few
sermons in church but we do not be-
lieve in their doctrine, and have clos
ed the church against them. We
teach pure, undefiled religion, which Is
entire sanctifcation before God.
w. A. Carpenter.
Glover, s. c., October 16, 1911.
The foregoing is in reply to a state
ment recently published In The En-
quirer to the effect that Padgett, the
Holiness preacher, who got into trou-
BILE on account Of running away with
a young girl from Kings Mountain,
had preached in the little chapel on
the Kings Mountain road near Ia
dok, and that the church was being
used jointly by the Holiness" and
"Come-out" sects. The statement was
made on the authority of RESPONSE
BILE party in the neighborhood who,
we are sure. believed he was correct;
but that there will be any disposition
to controvert the foregoing, we have
no idea. Ed. Enquirer.
