A Servant of the Law.

There was exemplified in the York
county courthouse last week one of
| the most admirable cases of genuine
reverence for the integrity and majesty
| of the law that has ever been recorded
in York county, and very probably in
the state of South Carolina.
The case in point was that Of the
State of South Carolina against three
young 1fiiscreants, charged with con-
spiracy with intent to rob.
The prosecuting witness was Alex
ander Long, Jr., a young man Of about
&c years, son of gentle, refined and
wealthy parents.
The details Of the case were printed
in the last issue Of The Yorkville En-
quirer and while it is frankly admitted
that the facts out of which the prose-
cution grew were hardly more credi
able to the prosecuting witness than
they were to the defendants, the sub
sequent conduct of the witness, The
Yorkylle Enquirer desires to say, was
such as to win for him the thanks of
every good citizen.
No, not a word of commendation for
the unworthy desire because of which
this young man so nearly fell victim
to the conspirators. The only thing
that can be offered in mitigation of
that is the reproachful truth that he is
no worse than large per cent of his
fellows.
"If had been Alexander Long" said
n leading attorney 20 the editor of The
Yorkville Enquirer a few days ago. 81
would not have let my son go on that
witness stand FOR ten thousand dol
lars"
And neither would Alexander Long
have done it for ten thousand dollars"
was the reply. The only thing that
could have induced him to do it was
his admirable conception OF his duty as
a citizen
The fact is that Mr. Long was ad-
vsed by sincere friends to drop the
whole thing rather than incur the pub
licity that was inevitable i'm connection
with it; but he held steadily to his own
conviction of what was right. Than
Mr.. Long, probably, there is not man
in the county who would more keenly
feel the modification Of such situa-
ton. 1t is probable that if he could
have done so without violence to his
conceptions of duty, he would have
gladly forfeited ten thousand dollars
rather than mix up with such mess.
And to the credit of the young man
too whether it belongs to him or his
parents, makes no difference, let it be
remembered that he came clean with
the truth, making no effort to shield
himself by lying--thc most depraved of
moral offenses.
In view of the common usage in SIM
liar cases, it is not surprising that so
many people should be shocked ut the
remarkable developments in this case;
but all the same The Yorkvillc Enqui-
rer insists that by and through their
conduct and actions the Longs have
eXemplified Il citizenship that over
shadows the indiscretion into which
the boy was inveigled.

- Burglars ramsacked the home OF
Mrs. Ida NJ. Wylie on East Liberty
Street, Friday night about 10 O'CLOCK
and made their escape through the
lot in the rear of the house when the
police were summoned. Residents Nv
ing across the street saw two men
walking about in the house from room
to room and gave the alarm. When
the police arrived, however, they had
gone. Several drawers and trunks had
been broken open and a number of
articles scattered on the floor gave
evidence that the burglars had
dropped them in their fight. Exami-
nation of the back yard resulted in
the discovery of other articles which
had been dropped. Whether or not
the two men got away with anything
of value is, not known since Mrs.
Wylie, the occupant of the house is
spending some time in New York and
her daughter, Miss Rachel Wylie who
lives with her is touring Europe.

" hat Is that you are saying about the Snow Queen?' inquired Mr. Junco | "Whirr, whirr," answered the wild wind as 1t tore the dry leaves from the tree and whirled them about like l dancing brown elves on the ground | below.
 Cant you stop whlrring minute and tell us what you meanY" asked Chick"dee. How do you know so much about this queen?"
 Wild wind calmed a little and came nearer to the questioning birds, "How do l knoWY' he said. Why shoudn t l know wien l always go to meet her l am getting ready now, that is why l am whirring and circling about, for you can never tell just how the Snow Queen wishes to be escorted from her home away up North.
 Sometimes she comes silently and shakes her feathery robes over the land and then again she chooses to come dancing like mad Queen, Shak- ing her robe of feathery white until there is not a feather left and she has to hurry home and get another robe
 "So you see 1 have to be prepared to do her bidding and that is why I Whirr and act so wild.
 But if I stay here gossiping I shall not be ready to escort the Snow Queen, so l must be off. Good day. You watch out and soon you will see the land covered with feathers from her robe"
 Away went the wild wind with loud whirr, whirr, while the two little birds sat looking at each other and wondering if 1t were all true.
 The next day while they sat on limb talking it over, little snowflakes came dancing down about the tree. They whirled hther and thither. turn ing over and over before they touched the ground
 "It is a good thing wild wind was ready for the Snow Queen" said MT. Junco. "She must be shaking all the feathers from her robe; see how fast the snowtlakeS are falling?"
 "Yes, and how crazy they act" re- piled Mir Ghicleadee. "It will not last long for the Snow Queen will soon shake all the feathers from her robe and have to go home for another"
 As Mir ChicEadee flew 10 the top of the tree to sing merry song, he called to Mir Junco, T have learned two things since yesterday-tha you are not the real Snowbird and what snow- flakes really are"
