Common Pleas Court.

The spring term of the court of
common pleas opened here Monday
Imyrning with Judge Frank B Gary
of Abbeville presiding, Court Ste
nographer L Z Wood Of Sumter and
all other court officers were on hand,
ready for business. There We're
only two jury cases on the docket,
one being the case of J G Scott
against the Liverpool and London
and Globe Insurance Co, Ltd, suit
to recover the sum of $500 on an
insurance policy. The other was
that of Mr. NJ II Jacobs against John
deS Gilland, Esq, to recover a sum
of money claimed by the defendant
to be due through the purchase Of
the goods and accounts of the Caro-
lima Furniture Co, bankrupt con-
Germ.
The case of Mr. Scott against the
insurance company was the first
taken up and occupied the attention
of the court during Monday and
until Tuesday noon. The case was
ably represented on both sides,
Messrs Kelly & Kinds being attor-
neys for the complainant, while
Messrs Leroy Lee and Frank c
Tompkins of Columbia took care Of
the defendant company's interests.
Able arguments on both sides were
made. Judge Gary charged the
jury at some length, and at y
O'Clock they retired, returning with
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
Motion for a new trial refused.
In the matter of Jacobs against
Gilland, R j Kirk, Esq, represent
ing the defendant, stated that he
had been out of his office for some
time and was not prepared to go
into a trial of the case; that Mr.
Gilland who had possession of all
the records pertaining to it, had
recently removed his office to Flor
ence and it was impossible for him
to get hold of such records at this
time. Judge Gary reluctantly con-
tinued the case until the June term.
After considering a number of
minor motions, issuing DEGREES, etc,
court adjourned sine d'e at noon
yesterday.

while he aims to please, he makes no
concessions to the doubtful taste Of
the undeveloped man: he strikes high
and carries the crowd right with him.
He is an artist in every sense Of the
word.
AS a lecturer he is as charming as
he is pictorial artist The running
talk with which he accompanies his
varied creations on the block" is full
of fine philosophy, spontaneous wit
and delightful humor and appreciation
of the truth.
At the. last session of the Interna-

the highest honor that can be con-

Here and there al editor in discussing the larger aspects of the re-
cent civil warfare in Colorado, has paused to remind the advocates of
womansufrage that this appalling outbreak Of blood-shed and anarchy
occurred in a state whose women have been enfranchised for twenty
years. This point is answered by The Womans Journal Boston) with
the assertion that while the women voters of Colorado we're o respon-

slaughter OF men,, women and Children since it "a only in response
to their firm and insistent demand that Governor Ammons asked for the
intervention OF federal troops The story OF the part played in Colo

and from the narrative of Senator Helen Ring Robinson:
when armed warfare had broken on in the strike and mel
were being moved down by the machine guns of the state militia, when
novels they we're occupying after eviction, when the trouble had reach

authority was interfering, the women OF Denver thought it time o act.
They issued a call i'll the name OF the wOnanhood of their state for
a meeting at the capitol. One thousand Of them, with the cries OF the
slaughtered in their ears and aghast a. the horror OF ruthless state muir

audience with the governor. He refused to see them. They stood firm
and repeated their demand. The governor hesitated; he did O wan to

inspiring in their spirit and numbers; they meant business. The govern

WHY FREE TOLLS?

Phnander {. Knox. exSecretary of state, thinks the Hay Paunce-
foe treaty is no bar to the right of the United States to maintain dis
criminatory tolls at Panama in favor of American coastwise shipping.
Very good; Mr. Knox is a able lawyer and entitled to his opinion. But
EHhu Root, also an exsecretary of state and equally eminent in Repub-
lcan politics, is If anything a ADLER lawyer. and his opinion is diamet-
rnay opposed to that of Mr.. Knox. But. admitting that there is ground
for a honest difference OF opinion o. the technical aspects of the case.
a ex-Secretary Knox furnish my good and sufficient reason why the
1O0OO0OOO inhabitants of the United States should be taxed to build d
S40OO00M0 canal and then tax themselves further year after year to
give special favors to a small body of shippers and vessel owners II
joying the benefits of that canal? Why should the coastwise shipping
monopoly be given free tolls, aside from any consideration of treaty

people.
