on his lips.

Munsey Writer Tells of
Shakespeare Controversy

'Was Shakespeare a Plagiarist?" is
the title OF an interesting article in The
Munsey for March. The writer, Prof.
Brander Matthews, says 1T is obvious
" absurd to cry plagiarism when a
dramatist bases a play upon the rec
ords which a chronicler has collected.
Even according to the loftiest stand
ard of literary morality in the nine
teenth century, a poet has right ia
interpret anew any of the stories that
the historians have narrated.
THE poet alone is possessed Of the
philosophers stone which changes the
base metal of mere fact into the pure
gold OF everlasting truth. Tennyson
was no plagiarist when he chose to &c
10 Froude for the material of his
Queen Mary and TO Freeman for the
Substance of his Harold.

It is wise then to secure and grow the
varieties which are resistant to both
Of these diseases-the Iron and the
Brabham varieties. These varieties
are quite generally grown in some Sec
tions Of the State, but are still IN
known to many farmers who are badly
IN need of them. There is great de-
mand for pure seed of these varieties
now, which demand is sure to increase;
so it behooyes all who have these varl-
eties to plan to save all the seed possible.
No other variety of cowpeas should be
us I'd on any farm where wilt or root
krot occur.
A good rotation to practice where
walt and root knot occur is to follow
cotton with corn-planting Iron Brab-
ham cowpeas, in the corn. Follow
the corn with oats or wheat, then SOW
the stubbl~ in Iron or Brabham peas.
After the peas, SOW rye as winter

Attempted Assault.

Bamberg Herald, 23rd.
Tuesday afternoon there was
brought to Bamberg and lodged in
Jail a negro boy named Lee Jones'
with the horrible crime of attempted
assault upon little white girl, six
teen years old, the daughter of prom
inent farmer who lives lear town.
The child is very small for her age,
having been afflicted all of her life,
The negro was brought to town BY
the father of the child; which shox
a respect for law and that he was will
ling to let the fiend be dealt with &C.
cording to law.
Some time Tuesday the child start
ed to 60 to a neighbors house, and she
had to pass through small patch of
woods on the way. While passing
through the woods the negro attacked
her, but her screams and resistance
frightened him away an he did not
succeed in accomplishing his foul pur-
pose. The girl made a vigorous de-
tense, and in the struggle she was not
hurt but badly excited and her nerves
upset. AS soon as the negro fled she
returned home and told her parents,
she recognizing the negro, and he was
soon arrested at his plow in the field,
which he had left to attack the child
The negro worked on the plantation of
this gentleman, and had been fed
from his table. At first harsh meas
ures were advocated, but the mother
of the child pleaded that her husband
not stain his hands with the blood of
the brute, and finally the negro was
brought to Bamberg by the father and
turned over to the authorities. 1t is
said that he confessed to the crime as
soon as he was arrested, and he will no
doubt meet the death penalty for his
crime. ,..- -.. ....

Is It a Part Of a Game :

John Barrett, director general of the
Pan-American Union, speaks a word Of
soberness concerning the situation in
Mexico. He intimates that there is a
well-defned plan to force intervention
in Mexico for selfish ends, and he warns
the American people that if this plan
is allowed to succeed, the results will
be most serious. The Latin-American
nations, he says, are observing care
fully the attitude of the United States.
IF the United States" says Mr.. Bar
rett, should forcibly intervene in Mex
leo, or engage in an armed invasion of
that country without its permission and
without justification by all international
precedents TO the satisfaction of its sis
ter American republics, it would strike
self-infiicted and gratuitously stagger-
ing blow to its commerce and prestige
throughout all America, nullify half the
good of the canal, and delight all its
competitors for the favor and trade of
the world"
1t is worth while to give heed to Mr..
Barrett's warning. The United States
is not seeking self-aggrandizement or
additional territory. 1t has enough
problems in the Philippines, in Hawaii,
and in Porto Rico without adding to
them by an armed invasion of friendly
nation. .r.--. ...

Monopoly of a Patent.

The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court which holds that pat
entee of an article has the right to pre-
scribe the conditions under which that
article shall be used is one of the most
far-reaching and important decisions
ever rendered by that tribunal The
fact that it was sustained by vote OF
four 10 three and that the justices voting
in the affirmative did not constitute a
majority of the court gives TO the mi
nority view much force and considera-
ton
In this particular case patentec of a
mirneograph machine licensed its use
only upon condition that certain stencils,
ink, and paper should be used in con-
nection Herewith, none of the latter ar
ticles, however, being patented. The
person to whom the machine was IL
censed purchased and used other ma
terials and was sued for contributory
infringement. The Supreme Court has
sustained this contention by a majority
of one vote, although, as Chief Justice
White points out in his vigorous dis
senting opinion, the logical result of
such decision would be to allow the in
ventor of cooking stove to prescribe
the kind of wood which might be used
, therein.
A. IN many other instances, the court
has read into the law conditions which
were never contemplated by the Con-
gress which enacted it. 1t is but an
other instance where one justice, vot-
ing with the majority, becomes more
powerful than the executive or the. leg
islstive branches of the government
combined. Of course, there is remedy
in the power of Congress to amend the
law so as 10 prevent the decision of the
court from having its effect, but long
before this can be accomplished the de-
cision will be the basis of innumerable
suits as well as OF rules governing the
use OF patents.
The action OF the court is radical
departure from the law as it is under
stood and prac;iced, and it is to be hoped
that the case will have a rehearing be-
fore a full bench.
