We take the following from the Jacksonville Times- Union: The convention boasts of the states manship shown in the Panama trans action. This may be appreciated when we know that the sum we agreed to pay Panama Is to be "left on deposit? with Morgan & Co., and that we are to guarantee Panama's currency a . contract that must require $150,000 more than the gigantic sum Congress contacted to pay for the right of way. it is nard to see a proat Here ror any body but Morgan x Uo. According to the Republicans, when the administration was under criticism abont the Panama transac tion, the Panamenos did the busi ness wnen they "stood up as one man," and afterwards the United States simply bought some of the assets after they had stood up. Now the Republican party Is trying to make it appear that Roosevelt is the Raisoull that kidnapped Panama without any Intention of giving Co lombia a chance at ransom. Doubt less the -Colombians agree with the Republican platform that they were Ralaoulied out of Panama by the Roosevelt administration. HABDEY PBOBABLE. Says our esteemed contemporary the Savannah News : It Is to the credit of the Republican party of Missouri that some of Its lead era are advocating the endorsement of "Joe" Folk and making him the can didate of the Republicans as well as of the Democrats for Governor of the State. Mr. Folk stands for purity In official life and the imaihlng of boodle rings. If the Republican party in Mis souri will endorse Folk, it will be different from the Republican party In most of the Southern States. The former Republican record has been to put up and follow men who had lost the respect of their community. The story of our Savannah contem porary is hardly credible. THE BOLL WORM IN SOUTH . CAROLINA. The Columbia Record announces that the boll worm is causing con siderable uneasiness in portions of South Carolina. Says our esteemed contemporary: "His work, while destructive, is not as great as the weevil by far." Probably the boll worm is the weevil under an assumed name. Like as not he is masquerading so he won't be recognised by the Qautamalan ant. That worm needs watching, for certainly he is a boll evil anyhow. ESOPUS IS STILL ON TEE MAP. . "The shallows babble but the depths are dumb." "Still water runs deep." Judge Parker hasn't babbled and is entitled to the regalia as the pastmaster of quietude. That is the reason the Republicans do not like the candidate who is to be initiated at St. Louis next week and will be the chief at the inaugur ation ceremonies at Washington on the 4th of next March. Just keep your eye on Esopus when the gen eral roll is called. In accordance with its invariable rule the Stab hoists the Democratic banner this morning, and will give the candidates whose names are in scribed thereon its earnest support. The owner and editor of The Mtsx snq Stab does his fighting before the nominations are made. When that question Is settled he is "for the ticket." He never sulks, and never has he "scratched" a Demo cratic condidate. "Rally 'round the flag," boys, and all will be well. Col. Bryan declares that the dele gates supporting the Bryan idea and those favoring Hearst will unite and ontrol the organization of the con vention. We are out of gold bricks now, Colonel, or we would follow -jou up with one with a sure prospect of a sale. However, on your way to St. Louis, be careful not to lend any money to strangers on the train. The government is completing at Columbia, S. C, a dam for the benefit of the navigation of the Congaree. The Columbia Record ..wants the event to he celebrated, and we agree that tht-r ought to be a dam celebration of some sort. v The scientists tell us that water melons are the most deadly of all fruits. Then something ought to be done with Georgia for assaulting til wil'a a deadly weapon. Uncle Joe Canton said in M. nAnVi at Chicago that the tariff was worth 75 cents a day to every working man in America. He failed to tell how much more it gives the trusts so they can flim flam the workiDg man out of his 75 ' cents before it burns a hole in his pocket. I am Charley Fairbanks and I'm In a sorry plight, For Mrs. Fairbanks husband is the tall to Teddy's kite; Oh, Charley, we are sorry a sorrow smite profound; For Teddy's tall, you bet, sir, is bound to drag the ground! P. S. Look out, Charley, 1 13 syllables lurk in every line of this poetry. - One of the delegates to the Dem ocratic national convention remarked to a Stab representative that the majority of the North Carolina dele M. gatlon is favorable to the nomina tion of Mr. Cleveland, but he does not believe the former President will be nominated. We see that It is stated that -two Kentucky colonels have made affi davit that while crossing a wheat field the other day they saw a flock of angels flying heavenward. The colonels probably "saw snakes" in the wheat field after they had made the spirits fly. President Roosevelt is rushing things now In order to get off to his Summer home at Oyster Bay. Probably he will play the part of a clam at Oyster Bay. That will be an augury that he is liable to get into the soup. "After a man gets to be a multi millionaire what can he do?" asks an exchange. Well, he generally buys a seat in the United States Senate, if he is a Republican. We want Roosevelt alive. After the election he can be pseserved as a Hying example of an ex-Acting President and not as an ex -acting President. There is some talk of a "dark" horse at St. Louis, but there are several politicians who will "bet on the Gray." Alter to-morrow there can be no more June brides until 1905. Hur ry up, girls.

All day long yesterday until 6 o'clock in the eyenlng the Buperior Court was engaged In the trial of the Nelson and Williams murder csae, particulars of which are well known to readers of this paper. Haying con ferred with Coroner Bell and a num ber of the State'! witnesses on the day before, Solicitor Duffy announced unon the opening of court at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning that he would not ask for a yerdlct of guilty of murder In the first degree but that he would strenuously contend for a conviction of either manslaughter or murder In tne second degree. The penalty for manslaughter Is from four to twenty years In the Btate peniten tiary and for second degree murder from two to thirty years In the penitentiary. The trial will likely eontlnue through to day and a part of to-morrow. A large number of wit nesses hare been summoned by both the State and the defence. The tier of seats reserved for colored persons In the court room was completely filled yesterday and a number of the colored spectators found it necessary to stand. The defendants are a woe begone trio with very depraved countenances and are exciting no sympathy. Be aides the counsel assigned the defend ants by the court, Brooke Q. Empie, Ktq., Is appearing for Albert Nel son as special counsel. Solicitor Duffy Is unassisted with the prosecution. Upon the convening of court yester day the sheriff returned 1S5 of the 200 talesmen ordered summoned for the day.

The defendants each pleaded not guilty to the charge and the hearing of testimony was begun. Dr. O. D. Bel), the coroner, was the first witness and be told of the circumstances sur rounding the murder. Mr. B. A. Parsley, of the Hilton Lumber Co., testified to having 'paid Fisher, the victim of the murder, something over $15 for timber which he had brought to the mill, his person having been relieved of the money when the coro ner went to investigate.

Fennell is nothing but a strip of a boy and Judge Allen was loth to send him to the peniten tiary when there was a possibility of reforming him. The judgment was that In the absence of a house of cor rection, and on account of the extreme youth of the, defendant! judgment would be suspended, provided a suit able person could be found to whom he might be bound.

A swimming contest between Mr. George Seal, life savtr a- the Seashore Hotel, and Mr. Jo Crewa, a member of the orchestra at the hotel, threw sereral hundred excursionists on Wrlghtavllle Beach Into a panic early yeaterday afternoon, singular as It may seem that an ordinary match be tween two expert surf bathers might attract more than passing notice at a crowded resort. But It must be re membered that Messrs. Seal and Crews are deep-sea swimmers and care nothing for disporting themselves In shallow water like ordinary folks. Upon a wager yesterday they went down opposite the Casino pavilion and were to swim bsck to the hotel at a given signal from Mr. H. M. Foard and other attaches who were In the cupola of the Jtraildlng. At the same time a number of excursionists were In bathing, but the experts went way out to sea and lined up for the contest. The excur sionists knew nothing of the match and when some of the ladles saw two men throwing up their hands and waring, as If In need of help, they were sure the men were drowning and each' one was more or less satis fied that one of the two was her husband, son, father or sweet heart, when, in fact, the swimmers were only giving signals to the starters on the cupola of the hotel. Several of the frightened excursionists fainted, others screamed at the top of their voices, while still others hurried to and fro In search of loved ones, fearing that it might be they who were battling with the breakers. Pandemonium reigned for a while and life boats were dispatched to the rescue from seyeral points. The swimmers resented the Intrusion of the boats upon their match. Mr. Seal persisted and swam on down to the hotel, but Mr. Crews, to satisfy the "wimmen and childun," hopped In one of the boats and came ashore as a "guaran tee of good faith." Mr. Seal won the bet.

Chas. M. Stedman, and their intense oyalty and enthusiastic and unfal tering support to the "last ditch" was a tribute such as but few men in this world merit and receive. It was the crowning glory of that "grand old man's" brilliant career and beau- if ul life, and it has been given to Major Stedman the priceless privi- ege oi realizing that there Is some thing better and nobler and more en during than temporal political ad vancement. For what greater tribute could be paid any man than to show o him.' that so many representative 'ollowers (more that one-third of the convention and personal admirer a would lay down their Uvea for their friend.

( A coin dropped Into the sea will sink to the bottom, however deep It is, owing to the fact that the metal is heavier than the volume of water that it dis places. It Is a common but mistaken notion that the density of tbe sea increases with Its depth and consequent pressure, as does the density of the atmosphere, which we all know Is greatest at the earth's surface. The air, however, like all gases, is elastic, and, when under pressure (as with its own weight), shrinks in volume and gains in density. Water, on the other hand, is abso lutely incompressible, and, although the pressure In the sea increases at the rate of about one pound for every two feet we descend, tbe density of the wa ter remains tbe same; consequently the penny continues to outweigh the water It displaces and the coin sinks until It finds a solid resting place. The pres sure of the water has no Influence at all on the coin, acting as it does on all sides equally. Fast Day In Russia. Fast days in Russia are numerous. Besides the ordinary Lenten period, which, however, in Russia is forty- eight days long instead of forty, they have three shorter periods of fasting- one of nineteen days in June, one of fourteen days in August, and another of thirty-three days in November and December. There are also three single days of fasting, of which two are also holidays. Fasting Is a serious matter in Russia, for fish, milk and eggs are forbidden as well as meats. The result Is that tbe markets for such products are largely cut off for about one-third of the year and dairy farming becomes unprofit able, as strict observance of fasts Is a weightier matter with the people than honesty or any other feature of our system of morals. Charles Laanb'a Grace. On one occasion when Edmund Clar ence Stedman .was visiting In New England he was called upon by the bead, of the house while at dinner to invoke the divine blessing. "I was rather surprised and for half a minute sorely tempted," said Mr. Stedman In relating the incident. "Then I rose to the occasion and asked a grace which I remembered." "But, Mr. Stedman." demanded a young woman of the party eagerly, "to what were you sorely tempted V "To do as Charles Lamb did under similar circumstances." "And that was 7" "He looked about the board and asked in surprise, Is there no clergyman present?' Tbe host shook his head. Then Lamb Drayed. 'For this and all other mercies, O Lord, make us truly thankful!' " When "Wit Ia Perfect.

Ashbvillb, N. 0., June 29 -JudgeJ. O. Prltchard, of the Unit,.! Stales Circuit Court, at noonto-da-, filed his opinion in the celebrated cat of Josephus Danlela, before him on writ of habeas corpus, charged win. contempt of court. Mr. Daniela, who Is editor of the Raleigh "News and Observer," had been fined $3,000 for contempt of District Judge Purneli Judge Pritcbard'a onininn .m'.. recognized as an Important leel record, and Is a careful and comnrn henslve review of the law aa applied tonewapaper utterances that might be construed as contempt of court The text of the decision, In part, isasfol lows: "In order to determine whether tbe petitioner is entitled to the rellrf prayed for In the petition upon which the writ of habeas corpus was issued It Is necessary to determine two ques tions: (1) Did the court which im posed the sentence In thla jurisdiction I (2) Does this court have Jurisdiction to hear and determine this esse on a writ of habeas corpust "The force of public opinion in tb. country in favor of the freedom of tU press bss restrained the" free exercio of the power to punish this class uf contempts and In many jurisdictions statutes have been enacted deprlviti; the court of the power to punl.h them. It was taken from the Federal eourta by the tot of Congress of 1831, which act deprives those courts of th common law power to protect by this process their suitors, witnesses, offi oers and themaelves against the libi of the press, thoueh published ai.d circulated pending the trial of a came therein. "That newspapers sometimes makn unwarranted criticism of the couru cannot be denied. In some instance they construe the liberty of tbe press ws a licenae to authorize them toengan In wholesale abuse of the court; but theee inatances are rare and do ni warrant a departure from the well se . tied principles of the law as declare! by Congress and construed by the courts. If judges charged with tb admlnlatralion of the law are not t be criticised on account of their oSi clal conduct the liberty of the press u abridged aod tha rights of individu.u imperilled. "There may be instances where the publication of editorials or other mat. ter In newspapers would bring ti, author within tbe limitations of th statute. For Instance, if a newspip, r should publish an article concerning a trial which was being considered by a jury, and should send a cop? of thn paper containing such article to the jury or a member thereof, during li e, progress of the trial, for the purpose of influencing them In their decision, it would present a question whetbtr auch conduct would not be misbe havior in the presence of the court or so near them as to obstruct the admin istration of justice. "It appnara that the disttuguisheil judge wbo adjudged the petitioner ( be ia contempt of court, exceeded the authority granted io the act of 1831, and tbat the court was without juris dictloo. Such being thn case the judg ment of the court is void aud itim fore a nullity. "Io view of the foregoing-, iheucourt finds that tbe petitioner is unlawfully restrained of hla liberty, aud it u therefore considered and ordered by the court tbat the said Josephus Daniels be discharged from the cus tody of the marshal of tbe Unltm Statea and tbat he go bence without day." A YOUNG WOMAN MURDERED, Her Body Found Partly Submerged lo a Creek Near Her Home Slfos of a Straffle aod Pool Play. Bt Telegraph to tbe Hornlnz Btar. Danville, Va., June 29. Miss Pauline Edwards, daughter of a well known farmer, was drowned in a creek nesr her home in thia county late yes terday. The body, partly submerged, was discovered before the young wo man was missed from her home. The discovery of the body was made by a farm hand. There was every evidence of foul play. The young woman's clo thing waa torn and disheveled and the sod on the bank of tbe stream was loosened as If in a struggle. It is be lieved that tbe girl, wbo was not more than sixteen yesrs of age, was assaul ted, and tbat her head was afterwards held In the atream until ahe drowned. The water in tbe creek ia not more than a few inches deep, which elimi nate! tbe possibility of her having fal len In and drowned. Clasped in the cold fingers of the dead girl waa found a piece of cloth which might have been a part of a man's coat. Tne po sition of the girl as ahe lay In the wa ter, the condition of her clothing and tbe algna of a struggle on the bank, all Indicated that she bad made a desper ate fight for her life and her honor. There were marks on her neck, which mlgbt have been tbe impression of hu man nngers.
