Carolina Law-Making Court Proceedings

N the conduct of public bus
iness South Carolina has
more formality and dig
nity than any other state
In the union. The mem
bers of the United States
supreme court when pre
siding wear silk robes,
and this fact Is often the
subject of comment among
those who are not accus
tomed to such attire; but
that judges should be so
habited Is a matter' of
course In South Carolina, where from
time Immemorial Judges have worn robes
when holding court. The custom in-
\ gives tone and solemnity to the proceed
ings.
The Inauguration of the. governor and
lieutenant governor Is always attended
with elaborate formality and much dig
nity. What was done at an Inaugura
tion In tihe fifties will give some Idea of the
style then prevailing. At the hour ap
pointed the governor and lieutenant gov
ernor-elect escorted by the committee of
arrangements of both houses, entered
the (hall of the house of representatives.
The retiring governor und the governor-
elect then addressed the joint assembly.
The speaker of the house of representa
tives then administered the oath of of
fice to the governor and lieutenant gov
ernor-elect.
Thereupon the senate retired In a
'body preceded by the sergeant at arms
bearing the sword of state to the senate
chamber, and immediately thereafter the
speaker of the. house of representatives
accompanied by the members led by the
sergeant at arms bearing the mace en
tered the senate Chamber. The joint as
sembly coming to order the senate de
livered to the governor and lieutenant
governor their commissions. Then the
governor and lieutenant governor, with
the president of the senate and the speak
er of the house, with tlhe members and
officers of the general assembly, repair
ed In a body to the east portico of the
capitol, where the sheriff of Richland
county, in whioh the capitol is situat
ed. read jtihe commission of the governor
and made proclamation of the election
lr. the same manner as the heralds pro
claim the successor to a deceased king
fir queen in England.
Of late years the ceremonies attend
ing the Inauguration of a governor are
nearly the same as described above. The
governor receives his commission, how
ever, from the secretary of state with
out any public ceremony and the oath of
office is administered by the chief jus
tice of the supreme court of the state
Hon. Tom C Hamer, clerk of House of
Represen ta fives
eludes the members of the supreme court
und the circuit courts. These robes are
made of handsome black silk and add
much to the dignity and appearance of
tne judges.
In the olden tlme3 attorneys at law
wore required to wear black silk gowns
whenever they appeared in court, and
unless they were so attired they would
not be heard. In 1758, according to rule
21, .the requirement was, "that gowns,
bands and wigs be tne habit of the gen
tlemen pf the bar." Bands and wigs
were required until 1800, when they were
discarded, but gowns were retained.
In 1802 one of tho rules of court read,
•‘Nor shall any gentleman of the bar
be allow-ed to take his seat fat the bar
table) uni. ss he be first robed, nor to
continue seated unless he also continues
In his robe." The rule was enforced
Until 1837. when It was amended and the
•wearing of robes dispensed with.
The disuse of the gown by attorneys is
accounted for by the mishap of a dis-
Jtlngulshed lawyer of the eastern or Pee
!Dee section of the state, who on one
ccaslon had lost or mislaid his gown,
was a serious matter with him for
would not be heart! unless he had a
gown on and the interests of his clients
would be put in jeopardy. So he put
the black silk dress of his wife and
Into court. His app aranoe ex
cited so much laughter among the poj-
that shortly afterwards la wyers were
visions of the constitution, by the elec
tion of a president pro tem and a clerk
and Is now ready to transact such busi
ness as may come before It.” At the end
of the session the phraseology Is changed
to. “Mr. Speaker, I have the honor to
announce that the honorable, the senate,
having finished the business before It. Is
now ready to adjourn sine die.” The
clerk then bows to the speaker. The ser
geant at arms then escorts him back to
the door, they salute each other, and
the clerk returns to the senate cham
ber. The same formalities are observed
when the clerk of the house of represen
tatives makes similar announcements to
the senate.
When a message Is sent from the bouse
or from the governor to the senate all
business Is suspended until the message
Is considered. That much respect is due
to the house and the governor. The same
course is observed in the house when a
message is received from the senate or
from the governor.
Communications from the governor are
delivered by his private secretary' with
much formality. The private secretary
makes known his presence at the door to
the sergeant at arms. The sergeant at
arms, with the black rod. admits the
private secretary, and walking on the
right hand side escorts the private secre
tary to the front of the president's desk
and announces: "Mr. President. I have
the honor to announce a message from
his excellency, the governor.” All busi
ness is suspended at once. The sergeant
at arms steps two paces back. The pri
vate secretary says: "Mr. President, I
have the honor to present a message
from his excellency, the governor." The
president says: “Let the message be
received.” The private secretary ad
vances in a brisk walk inclining to the
right, ascends the president's rostrum to
the left of the president, delivers the
message, the president and the private
secretary bow profoundly to each other,
of the senate reads tbs ooMtaslon and
the signatures of the tw« l*«**ng offi
cers in distinct voice beCpr* the joint
assembly. If the act in the
senate the clerks change phew.
In the olden time, water the parish
system the lower parf of the state was
represented by territory, certain divisions
being: entitled to representation because
of certain ancient rights derived from the
proprietary government. In the upper
part of the state representation was ap
portioned according to population. So
«5n th*e lower part of the state a half
dozen men could elect a senator while in
the up-country hundreds would be re
quired to choose a senator.
The state had two treasurers, one for
the upper division and one for the lower
division.

Hon James H Tillman, Lieutenant-Gov
ernor and President of Senate
bars of the senate, but It was- -never good
form to apply it to members of the
house of representatives except to the
speaker.
Any qualified elector of the state,
white or black, may become a member of
the general assembly, but this was not
so In the olden time, just previous to the
war between the states. The old con
stitution, article 1, section 6, reads:
“No person shall be eligible to a seat
In the house of representatives unless
he js a free white man of the age of 21
years; and hath been a citizen and resi
dent in this state three years previous
to -his election. If a resident in the elec
tion district, he shall not be eligible to
a seat In the house of representatives
unless he be legally seized and possessed
In his own right of a settled freehold
estate of five hundred acres of land and
ten negroes; or of real estate of the
value of 150 pounds sterling, clear of debt.
If a non-resident he shall be legally seized
and possessed of a settled freehold es
tate therein of the value of 500 pounds
sterling, clear of debt.”
Notwithstanding all these formalities
and the property qualification, the sen
ate was always truiy democratic and as
late as 1858 the style of addressing that
body was: “Fellow-citizens of the sen
ate."
These forms and ceremonies do not In

relieved of the necessity of wearing
gowns. Vet to this day the dress of
lawyers is' regulated by a rule which
reads as follows:
"The habit of the gentlemen of the
t>ar shall be black coats, and no gen
tleman of the bar shall be heard if other
wise habited; and it shall be the duty of
the sheriff to attend to the execution of
this rule.”
The cut of the coat Is not prescribed
but the Prince Albert is the prevailing
style. It Is not necessary to add that
a Souffi Carolina court with the Judge in
Hits robe and the lawyers all dressed in
black commands the respect of all who
may be present.
The judge Is honored because he repre
sents the majesty of the law. When
ever court Is about to convene the sheriff
waits upon the Judge at
Court Ills hotel and escorts him
Open, to the court house. The
With sheriff wears a cocked
Anatar, bat with a handsome
CaitBOar plume, and has a sword
hanging to his side. Ar-
giied at the court house the Judge goes
to his retiring room, puts on his Judicial
robe and then steps out and directs the
sheriff to call the court to order. In the
conduct of business some of the ancient
English forms are observed and this

The Minister of Public Works having
submitted to this body a series of ques
tions concerning the advisability of sub
stituting Zinc White for white lead in a'l
'Government works, the Council formu
lated the following conclusions:
"The substitution of paints based on
oxide of zinc for white lead paints is
entirely desirable from the point of view
of hygiene.
"This substitution appears to be feasible
tn the^great majority of painting work;
and consequently the state executives
would set a salutary example and would
perform a very useful service to hygiene
in ordering, wherever it may be possible,
the substitution of zinc white for white
lead In work executed cm account of the

Issued an edict that the use of white lead
.should be interdicted, tin edict with which
all the Government Departments and

In presence of the Joint assembly and
generally a brilliant host of spectators
| composed of the elite of the land.
In the transaction of business by the
I general assembly there Is as much form
and ceremony as In the courts. The pres
ident of the senate and the speaker of
the house of representatives wear ele
gant silk robes of royal purple. The clerks
of the two houses wear robes of hand
some 'black silk. Up to the last session
the clerk of the house was always called
the. "dark" of the house, a pronuncia
tion handed down from the distant past.
Communications between the two
■houses are In writing except notice, of
organization at the beginning of a ses
sion and notice of readiness to adjourn
at the close of a session. These are made,
orally by the two clerks in manner as
follows: The clerk of the senate attired
In his elegant black silk robe goes to the
house alone. When he reaches the door
his presence is made known to the ser
geant at arms of the house, who admits
/him to the hall. The sergeant at arms,
holding In Ills right hand the black rod,
which is an emblem of authority, made
of wood, about 7 feet In length and 2
Inches in ■ diameter, escorts the clerk
about a third of the way up the center
aisle, halts and steps back about two
paces. The clerk then says: “Mr. Speak
er. I have the honor to announce that
the honorable, the senate, has been duly
organized in accordance with the pro
The STpord of State and thi Royal
Hare '
the private secretary descends from the
rostrum to the right of the president and
In a quick step leaves the senate chamber
by the same door at which he entered.
When t’ne senate goes to the house as
on the occasion of an election bv the
joint assembly it marches by twos In
procession, the president and clerk lead
ing the way, and the sergeant at arms
walking In front holding before him th
sword of state. When the body enters
the hall of representatives the members
of the house arise and remain standing
until the senate is seated. When the
house goes to the senate the same formal!
ty is observed except the sergeant at
arms carries as his emblem of authority
the black rod.
On more formal occasions when both
houses march in procession the sergeant
at arms of the senate goes before that
body bearing the sword of state and
the sergeant at arms of the house precedes
that body bearing the royal mace as ills
emblem of autfiority.
The sword of state and the mace are
historic emblems. The sword of state
is about four fc-et in length, of serpentine
shape, the hilt being
Sword of of solid silver and the
State tad blade of steel. It
Mace came down from' the
Emblem, of time of George III,
•Authority and when not In use
is preserved in a scab
bard of blue plush velvet. The mace is
made of silver and is washed with gold.
It is about three feet in length and on
the top Is a crown of the same material
and a fac simile of the crown of Eng
land. The coat of arms of England Is
engraved on one side of the crown and
on the other is the king with his crown
and royal robe presenting the mace to
a kneeling woman, and this is supposed
to typify that the king is the source of
favors to the public. There are other
emblems representing commerce and agri
culture engraved on the crown. The king
of England sent three of these maces to
the colonies before the revolutionary war.
One is In Virginia, one in New York and
one in South Carolina. They are exact
copies of the royal mace In England, but
South Carolina Is the only state that
uses the mace according to the royal
customs.
When the British took Charleston in 1778
they captured this mace and carried it
to England. After peace was made the
mace was sent back to the United States
government which was established in
Philadelphia where congress met. Some
time afterwards Judge Langdon Cheves,
of South Carolina, accidentally saw It
in a bank. The government would not
return it to South Carolina and Judge
Cheves paid $600 in gofd of his own money
for it and restored it to South Carolina
and it has been in use ever since.
In the senate and in the house, follow
ing the custom of the British parliament,
it is in order for members' to weair their
hats while sitting down, if they so de
sire. but out of order to do so when on
their feet.
When the time appointed for the rati
fication d£ acts arrives the speaker of the
house, attended by the clerk of the house
in their official costumes
Ratification with the members of the
Attended house preceded by the

received formally as de
scribed above. The president of the sen
ate and the speaker of the house then
Interchangeably sign and present to each
other the acts from their respective
houses by their respective titles. If the
act originated in the house the clerk of
the house reads the title and the clerk

order, so that the evils of hasty legis
lation are avoided.

Mte HE world does not contain
two turfmen not million
aires in which the people
are more interested than
they are in Major Barack
G. Thomas . and Frank B.
Harper. The health of
the famous breeder. Frank
B. Harper, the owner of
Nantura Stud, where Long
fellow and Ten Broeck
first saw the light of day,
is falling fast, and Major
Thomas has been seriously j
111 all winter. Last autumn Mr. Harper
fell from the back porch of the old
homestead, a distance of about 3 feet, to
the ground, and this accident, adding to
fcls other affliction, loss of sight, has
rendered his present condition highly pre
carious. All winter and so far this spring
he has not been off the farm and his
relatives and friends now fear he has
but a short time to live. Major Thomas,
the breeder of Nlmyar and the mighty
Domino, has also been housed up all
winter and spring, but he gamely says
he will outlive many of the turfmen of
the present day.
The similarity of the lives of these two
men, the oldest breeders still in the thor
oughbred business In all America, Is de
cidedly marked. Both are 78 years old,
both have earned world-wide fame
through horses they have bred, neither
ever married and both have lived sur
rounded by faithful servants they owned
as slaves in ante-bellum days. Each has
dispensed to friends and visiting strangers
an unbound hospitality and both will de
part from this world leaving no heirs
save distant relatives to divide between
them the vast fortunes they have made.
When they die the family name of
Harper and Thomas will die with them,
as neither has a living relative by their
own name.
They are the only living turfmen who
witnessed the Gray Eagle and Wagner
match so famous In turf hlBtory, which
was run off at Louisville sixty years ago,
and both also saw the sensational un
beaten Lexlngt%n run his great races.
Both have been warm personal friends
and advisers of all the great statesmen
Kentucky has ever produced. Henry
Clay. Tom Marshall. J. C. Breckinridge
and James B. Beck, among other great
Americans, often sat down to spreads
furnished by these two noted turfmen.
Mr. Harper is one of the warmest
friends of Senator J. C. S. Blackburn in
the state and has named several good
horses after Members of his family, while
Major Thomas has also often entertained
that distinguished Kentucky statesman
at his home. Major Thomas saw Abra
ham Lincoln when the martyred president
was a young man and knew well Mrs.
Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother of
the author of the proclamation of emanci
pation.
When the famous cavalry leader. Gen
eral John H. Morgan, with his fearless
band of raiders were seizing all thor
oughbred horses in Ken-
General tucky that the members
Morgan’s of his command ran
Friendship across, the noted chlef-
*o Famous tain issued a special or-
Turfmen der that none of the
horses on either the
Harper or Thomas farm be molested.
The mighty Hlra was then at the side of
Himyar's dam at the last place and the
famous Nantura, dam of Longfellow and
grandam of Ten Broeck. was at the
former s farm, so but for Morgan's
friendship for both these gentlemen two
of the greatest brood mares might have
been lost to the breeding world. The va
rious papers exploiting the statement
that President Roosevelt Is the first presi
dent to attend races and take an Interest

NEW CURE
FOR FITS
Major Barack G Thomas, famous Ken
tucky breeder of thoroughbred horses
the race was over. He also says Presi
dent Grant expressed the greatest admi
ration for the race horse and was at
the track whenever state affairs would
permit him to enjoy the sport. He stated
during his visit to Longfellow's stable
that he had ridden a thoroughbred horse
bred In Kentucky through the great bat
tles in which he had participated during
the civil war and it was the best horse
he ever owned. Major Thomas once In
vited President Grant to one of his big
dinners at Dlxiana. In reply the famous
man said; "I regret that affairs of state
deprive me of participating i| such a
social and pleas:^it entertainment. Drink
to my health, as I will to yours, hut
the article I will have to drink in Wash
ington is hardly up to the standard you
will so liberally dispense to your friends
Frank B Harper
in old Kentucky tomorrow. I hope you
will live to give many more such in
years tn coma."

is slowly hat surely creeping over the
heads of two of the most famous Ameri
can thoroughbred breeders. Their .pass

was free from scandal.

erate government. Once more the -at-

determined to protect the people and the
soldiers. He seized the salt held above
a reasonable price and sold it to the
poor at the lowest possible figures.
The legislature also took hold of the
matter and established a salt bureau for
the -benefit of the people. This bureau
operated extensive salt \*orks, but the
people were never afforded adequate re
lief. though the legislature appropriated
$500,000 at a time to buy salt fgy them,
and the governor seized It, right and left,
when the speculators charged too much.
Some speculators were not oppressive or
offensive. They let the necessaries of life
alone and dealt in diamonds, gold and
silver coin and greenbacks.
They were to be found in every south
ern town of any size, and their extrava
gant and showy mode of living made it
evident that they had prospered.
It was unpopular to buy specie and
greenbacks, and those who got rid of
their confederate currency in this way
kept their transactions vjry quiet.
In some localities it was considered al
most treasonable for a man to exchan
confederate money for the currency of the
enemy, and In more than one instance the
purchasers were forced to leave the state.
Never in the state's history were there
so many poor people. They were gener
ally the families of the soldiers at the
front, and the legislature appropriated
millions of dollars for their relief.
♦
Frequently the depreciation of confed
erate money worked great hardships.
In some cases men tendered confederate
bills in repayment of gold, or/other sound
money, borrowed a year before the- war.
This was shamefully fraudulent. It
was very like robbery to force a creditor
to accept rag money when flour was $1,400
barrel, and sometimes the creditor
would refuse to take the trash in place
of the gold which he had loaned as an
accommodation.
But the debtor had the advantage. All
that he had to do was %> point out the
creditor as a disloyal citizen whose guilt
was clearly proved by his refusal to take
the currency of the new government.
In such a case in Atlanta both parties
were Jews—retail merchants who had
been close friends for many years. The
debtor borrowed $500 in gold from the
other a year before the war, and offered
1 payment In confederate money when it
stood $20 for one in gold.
Tne creditor was mad. and made the
air sulphurous with his profanity. Then
it was the debtor's turn.
"You refuse confederate money? Very
well—shall I go over there?" '
As he spoke he pointed to the head
quarters of ,ue commander of the post
and the provost marshal.
The creditor burst Into tears and ac
cepted the money. •
And thus the friendship of two men of
the same race and religious faith became
a thing of -the past, at a time when they
should have stood together In a mutual
ly helpful way.
♦
It has always been the fashion to get
off jokes and witticisms at the expense
of confederate money.
Some years ago Colonel Henry D.
Capers wrote several chapters of a his
tory of this remarkable currency.
The colonel Is Inclined to look on the
humorous side of life, and in his exag
gerated way he published a statement to
the effect that, after running the printing
presses all day to supply the government
with money, the toilers in tl)F press room
were allowed to run off bills all night to
pay them for their work.
Things were not quite that bad; but It
must be admitted that the government's
constant Inflation of the currency was a
very serious blow to the confederacy.
However, it may not be amiss to re
mark that our patriotic forefathers, al
though successful in their struggle for
Independence, made no effort to redeem
their continental shinplasters.
“Too much of It," was their excuse, and
they certainly had good grounds for their
opinion.

tempt was to be made by Brigadier Gen
eral A. V. Kautz, who, on the morning
of the 5th of May, in accordance with
verbal instructions from the commandant
of the department, set out from near
Suffolk, in the southeastern corner of the
state, and directed hls maroh toward
the north. In front of him was the Black-
water river and the existence of this
stream was the cause of hls pushing
northward instead of directly westward.
All former expeditions had been turned
back on reaching Its course. It was Gen
eral Kautz's design to head the stream
and attempt a crossing near Its source.
He made a pretense of threatening the
crossings, but pushed on rapidly, through
Windsor and Isle of Wight Court House
to Fearnsvllle and then on across Cypress
Swamp to Birch island bridge. Here a
skirmish took place between hls men
and a picket force of the confederates
with the result that the stream was
crossed on the remaining bridge, two
othors having been taken up.
On the day after tne passage the com
mand moved northwest about 50 miles to
Wakefield In Sussex county, where they
encamped, tore up the track of the Nor
folk and Petersburg, railroad and de
stroyed the station house, some freight
cars and a small quantity of stores.
They broke camp on the morning of
the 7th between 2 and 3 o'clock and now
moved In a southwest direction via Lit
tleton and Peter's bridge to Stony Grove
on the line of the Petersburg and Weldon
railroad. Small confederate forces were
captured at Littleton and Bolling's bridge.
At Bolling’s abridge a force of about forty
men were captured and the bridge, a
wooden structure about 110 feet long, was
destroyed. Besides this, two wood sheds,
two water tanks, a large extra lot of
bridge timber, three freight cars loaded
with lumber, a culvert and turnpits were
destroyed.
The next move was to send Colonel 3.
P. Spear down to burn the Nottaway
river bridge, but as he did not reach it
before night and found

Bridge upon the bridge, which
was found strongly for
tified.
The bridge across the Nottaway was
210 feet long. It was defended by Colonel
Tabb, of the Fifty-ninth Virginia with
several hundred men. Both sides of the
river werfe occupied by. the confederates.
The federal artillery was placed so as
to' command the- bridge, and a number
of men were dismounted and sent down
the railroad track to attack the intrench-
ments. This force and the artillery com
bined drove the confederates through the
bridge, and then fired the latter, which
was soon In flames, and in about twenty
minutes was totally destroyed. General
Kautz now considered it the part of pru
dence to retreat, as he knew that five
train loads of Beauregard'? men were on
their way from Weldon, N. C.
The command returned to City Point on
the 10th, and on the 11th crossed the Ap

started for thg Richmond and Danville

track of the road where some damage
was done. There turning south, they
