Columbia. S. C.. 8?pt. 14.—Governor
Tfllm&n has rec eived a letter from Con
stable Swan, at Charleston, who was
jailed by Judge Siincnton for contempt
of court. The constable say*: ‘T came
out of jail yesterday afternoon after be
ing badly treated. My bedding was
aeut to me and was refused by the jailer. <
I was put in a room with burglars and
^tbjeves. 3Iv bed was a narrow bench, i
with my coat for a pillow. I have to
report to the United States marshal daily, j
My instructions are to make no new j
cases or arrests.”
Commenting on this the governor said: j
“This shows the animus of the jailer i
and his friends. I simply publish that |
letter as a warning that if this kind of
thing is tried here I will see what can
be done by the legislature or somebody
else to make that crowd down there
know that the state (unstable* have not
been just picked np from the scum of
the earth and that they are to be re
spected. That jailer, in refusing to let
let him have his bedding in there, is sim
ply acting as the dirty tool of a dirty
crowd, and if he has any regard for his
job he had letter not try it any more.
The sheriff is resixmsible for his em
ploye’s conduct, and if he can't be
reached by a jury, be can be reached by
a legislative committee.

| famous scheme, his reputation on that
j point will lately need investigation,

at .Secretary Smith's endeavor to make
pension lists rolls of honor. He says it is
an attempt to starve the old soldiers,
and that the only way to stop it is to as
sassinate the president and^he secretary.

is kept secret for the present. The en
tire matter was reported to Washington,

The Secret of Success for the Monopoly Oppressed Farmer
IS TO PLANT ORCHARDS. California found not her greatest wealth in
her gold mines, but in her vineyards and orchards. Georgia and the South can
excel the dry, hot climate of Calirornia in the production of fine fruits ; but to do
o we must quit planting cheap, worthless brush, and plant none but southern
grown trees procured direct from the Cherokee Nursery. The people of Ware and
urrounding counties cannot afford to waste money buying northern grown trees.
We invite every one to examine our stock before buying. We wiil take pleasure
in showing you what we have. GOOD TREES AT FAIR PRICES IS OUR
MOTTO. If you cannot come to see us, write to us before you place your orders
