passengers are decreasing, because the
number of immigrants may decrease.
The decrease in all outward sea passen-
gers is made up by the increase in all
inward sea passengers. The unprece-
denied oversee passenger traffic the last
two years indicates it is permanent
rather than spasmodic and that the con-
tinent of Europe and the continent of
America are being more closely united
by the Increasing facility, cheapness,
comfort and speed of ocean travel. The
Atlantic is fast becoming only ferry,
and a trip across it pleasure-bcat ride
of few days 1t is now possible to
spend Sunday in quiet rest and worship
in one continent, and the following Sun
day in the other.
Immigrants are of two classes: the
natural class who come of their own in
itiative and at their own expense; and
the artificial class, induced to come by
agents of steamship companies and
syndicates seeking cheap labor. These
runners" drum up trade in every poss-
ible way to secure their commission.
They relate Arabian-Night stories about
America to ignorant peasants to gain
their end. Commissioner Watchorn of
New York port says, American wages
are the honey-pot that brings the alien
flies" Europe, perhaps, never had more
prosperous times than at present This
and the depression in business here
cause the tide to turn to Europe. This
coming and going is the best school in
modern languages.

The Goo-Goo Eyes.

Bill and his son, Bud, were at a
plantation store one night, and a very
dark night, too, listening to phono-
graph, playing and talking. The
piece that struck them most was the
"Goo-Goo Eyes," a piece of rag time
music, bordering on the vulgar.
The owner of the store had three
sons and each Of these boys was as
full of mischief as any boys in exist
ence. They were not mean-just
fun loving something to
laugh about and talk about some
new fun for each day in the week.
While Bill and his boy, Bud, were
watching and listening to the phono-
graph so intently these three boys
disappeared, but of course no one
took any notice of their leaving.
The owner of the store kept on
putting new records in the machine,
and the time passed off rapidly,
but the store was closed, and each
one present went different ways for
their homes. Bill and Bud were both
scary, and it was not often that eth
er ventured out at night, so they
started for their home in a brisk
walk, and they had not proceeded
very far before just to their right
appeared three objects the like of
which they had never seen before.
They stopped, and took a careful
look at the fearful objects. These
things had blood red eyes as big as
ones fist, bigger mouths than any

SAVED LIFE OF LADY.
But Brave Negro Came Near Losing
His Own.

The Augusta Chronicle says Pat
rick Hughes Nell, age sixteen, the
son of DR.. G. l. Nell, is the young
hero who saved Cleveland Evans, col
ored, from drowning, who but a few
moments before had rescued Mrs.
Hattie Parker from like fate, at
Lankey's Bathing Pond, Thursday
afternoon.
Mrs. Hattie Parker had sufficient
ly recovered to be able to leave the
City hospital Friday morning.
Cleveland Evans, whom it was at
first thought would die, will be kept
at the Lamar Hospital several days
before able to resume his duties.
Should there be no complications as
a result of remaining in the water so
long, he will recover.
- Young Mr.. Nell, a perfect little ath-
lete, suffered no inconvenience as a
result Of his immersion.
Philanthropic Augustans will be-
gin movement to secure a Carnegie
hero medal and fund for Evans and
young Mr.. Nell, for their heroic con-
duct Thursday afternoon.
Evans almost drowned to save a
lady who had dived into deep water
and could not swim. Entangled in a
rope which had been thrown out as a
life line, he succeeded in reaching
the drowning lady and getting her
to safety. He was, however, unable
to swim after doing so. His efforts
entangled the rope the more and he
was forced to give up the fight for
life.
In the excitement which followed,
while men stood around and failed to
be Of any assistance, little Mr.. Nell,
perfect swimmer and diver, plung-
ed in the water and began a search
for the body Of Evans.
In ten feet of water, alone and un-
assisted, he succeeded in locating Ev-
ans and bringing him to the shore
where he was lifted from the water.
Evans was unconscious and expected
to die, until late Thursday when
there was change for the better.
It has been suggested that while
efforts are being made to secure rec
ognition for Evans and young Mr.
Nell from the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission, Augustans should show
some appreciation for the fine action
of the negro and contribute a sub
stantial purse.

Barnwell, S. G..

I hereby announce myself as a
candidate for Solicitor Of the second
judicial circuit of South Carolina,
and pledge myself to abide the result
of the Democratic primary. On ac-
count of the fact of having to hold
four terms of court during the
months of June and July, it will be
impossible for me to make a thor
ough canvass of the circuit, but
trust that doing my duty, will ap-
peal to the voters as much as the
popular mode of electioneering.

mot GUILTY." VERDICT
FOUND BY RICHLAND JURY
John Bell Towill, L. Whit Boykin and w. O.
Tatum Declared Innocent of Conspiring
to Defraud the State

straight upon end at the manner in
which things have been run and at
the extravaganza that has been
shown"
Mr.. Stevenson, in reply, declared
that his employment as additional
counsel had been authorized by the
legislature and that in one case alone
he had helped in saving for the
State 100000.
"All I got for five years work, -
he said in reply to question of op-
posing counsel, was s12,500."
"You make that as a positive as.
sertion?" queried Attorney w. S.
Nelson.
Witnesses for Defence.
Gen Willie Jones was the first wit
ness called by the defence in the
label" trial this morning. He was
questioned by Col. E. l.. Asbill as to
John Bell Towill's reputation for
truth and veracity, which he said
was good.
Mr.. P. H. Corley testified to To-
wills good character and reputation,
as also did Mr.. S. P. George, former
clerk of court of Lexington county,
and president of the National bank
of that place.
Mr.. Stevenson asked witness if he
had heard of any foreclosures of
mortgages going on against Towill.
He said he had not.
Mr.. S. J. Leaphart, postmaster of
Lexington, testified to ToWill's good
character and reputation, as did Mr..
F. H. Hendrix, of Leesville. They
said they knew nothing of any ware
house trouble between Towill and a
Mr.. Jones, growing out of some liti-
cation over alleged mismangement
on the part of Towill. The character
witnesses for John Bell Towill con-
cluded the testimony, and Col. Mel
son and Col. Asbill announcing they
would offer no further testimony, the
arguments were begun, each side be-
ing allowed two hours.
The Arguments.
Attorney General Lyon opened for
the State, and spoke for forty min
utes. He was followed by E. L. As
bill, of counsel for Towill, who began
his argument at 1O:40. Col. Asbill
closed at 11:10 o'clock and was fol-
lowed by Solicitor w. H. Cobb, for
the State, who spoke for fifteen min
utes. R. H. Welch, Esq, of counsel
for L. Whit Boykin, followed Solici-
tor Cobb, opening his argument at
1880 and concluding at 11:55. At
torney Mclaughlin, of Bishopville, of
counsel for w. o. Tatauln, following,
closing his argument at 1914. Col.
P. H. Nelson commenced speaking
Immediately following, concluding at
lis. Then w. F. Stevenson, Esq,
made the closing argument for the
State, concluding at 2:20 p. m.
Before the judge commenced the
charge Attorney General Lyon made
the statement that as W. O. Tatum
had gone on the stand and made a
clear explanation of the whole mat
ter, and as under the law he had
nothing to do with the label pur-
chase, he would not ask the jury to
convict Tatum, thus practically drop
ping the case against him, and max
ing il certain that a verdict of mot
guilty" would be returned in Ia
tum's case.
The Judge charged the jury, the
records were given to them and they
retired to their room at 2:90 to find
a verdict.
