The matter of a dispensary to be

from Ingersol, Texas, asking for The

At Home.?Mr. D. A. Crawford
will now realize, as he never has before,
what home meant. He is in his

give the place a homelike appearance !
at quite a distance off. Mr. Crawford J
put his house a long distance from the!

belonging to Dr. John Wallace, which
was in Court five or six years ago. In
reply to a question about his title to
the property, at that term of Court,
Dr. Wallace said "it is the completcst
chain of title in existence. I got it
from Chappell, Chappell g?t it from

and he stole it Jrom the Iudians." The

see such recklessness displayed by not

one foot against the box in which the
axles turn; sometimes they make an

have two monuments to this foel
hardiness now. Peg-leg and Means,
the barber, and if something is not
done to prevent such risks as are daily
taken, somebody will have a corpse
brought home to them. The favorite
time for such pranks is about dusk or
later. We see three or four instances
fcverv week. Parents, and tho:e iu
terested, liad better make inquiry and
keep a lookout.

sheriff of Orangeburg County, and <
brother of Dukes, coroner of the
same county.. Ilis father, mother, j
sister, and brother were at his bedside (
when he breathed his last. He gave i
up as soon as he took sick, which, ?
some think, hastened his death. His ;
body was conveyed to the -depot ac- ,
-companied by the faculty and the corp ;
of cadets. The following men acted 1
as pali-bearers: W. L. Felder of '
Orangeburg, J. B Ford of Yorkville, j

iTOTVE CIDER.
Mr. n:trl>er\s Defense.
Mr.. Editor: Sometime ago you published
au account of the trial of Mr.
Jas. A. Gladden, before Trial Justice
Jones, for scliiuij intoxicating drinks.
As I was prosecutor in the case, I
nrvntn oil ?irtu*'r> in iv?nlv orivino-ft -f niter
account, correcting the errors and denying
the charge against me of being
a spy, but before sending my article
off you published a reply by Messrs.
Gladden, Hall and Jackson, which I
tkought would be a sufficient refutation
of the charges in the first report.
Since, Mr. Jesse Gladden has replied,
and his article while withdrawing the
chargo of spy applied to me in the first
report, makes a statement about me
which might be consl rued to my injury,
and contained a bitter attack against
Mr. W. S. Hallj and other charges!
that are false. Under the circum-j
stances iustice would cause you to^ivei
me space for reply.
I prosecuted Mr. Jas. A- Gladden j
because he was selling cider which 11
believed to be the caase of the drunkenness
at his store, which was a nuisance,
in that the neighbors were
aroused by the drunken, rowdy men
and boys,'for I have been told that
boys of even twelve years old were
getting drunk. This drunkenness had
been going on for a good whilet but
increased about tho Christmas holidays.
Several rows or lights occured there,
and one in which both black9 and
whites were engaged. Seeing that the
peace of the c?mraunity was being
disturbed, the lawi broken and the
morals of the boys corrupted,- I went
to Mr. Jim Gladden and asked him to
discontinue the sale ?f the cider," because
the neighbors were speaking
very harshly about Iiim, and it would
injure his character. He said that I
could work for character, that he (Jim
Gladden) would buy his. Seeing he
was determined in his course, I told
him then that I wonld prosecute him,
which I proceeded to do to' the best of
my ability. I perhaps did wrong in
prosecuting Mr; Jas. Gladden instead
of his father, as he was acting under
bis father, but being young myself it
seemed natural to prosecute against
Mr. James Gladden. I take occasion
just here to say, that in workiug up
the case, I neither saw nor had a word,
hint or suggestion whatever from Mr.
W. S. Hall The trial was pronounced
bv some who were present .a farce,
owing perhaps, partly to my ignorance
in prosecuting a c:;se, an5] partly to
what I considered an error in the
judgment of the trial justice, in that he
contended that the party could not be
found guilty unless the State could
prove that the cider contained* alcohul?that
proving that the eider would
make drunk was not sufficient,'and he
told several the same before' the trial.
The trial seemed to be a farce because
the justice did not allow me the chance
to cross-question some of the witnesses,
did not give me a chance to put up
two important witnesses and further
it seemed to be a farce because Mr.
Jesse Gladden called one of the State's
witnesses, a white man at that, a liar
while on the stand, andthe justice did
not fine ?r otherwise punkh -faini. Is
not that sufficient evidence that the
trial was a farce? What would yon
consider a farce? After die-trial Mr.
Jesse Gladden called-me & spy, arid I
denied it and told him as he was an
3ld man, his sons, some of whom were
present, might lake it up. I was surprised
to see the same charge made in
;he published report. Since he has
withdrawn the epithet and is trying to
saddle it on some one c'se, 1 ask why
use the term spy at all, if he wsis doins:
a proper and legitimate business,
:>pen and above board? There was uo
need of a spy, for "where the carcass
is there will "the zopelotes be collected",
ind where the whiskey is there will
the drunkards be assembled, aud they
were assembled at Mr.Giaddens'.store.
Mr. Jesse Gladden .charges that the
tvhole business was malicious spite.
[ deny the charge, and I am satisfied
that after telling of the disgraceful
conduct around Mr. Gladden's store,
tvery decent man can see that it waa
not spite, nor was there any politics in
Lhe prosecution, as Mr. Gladden insinuates,
and I think it has come to a
pretty pass, if decent people'cannot
attempt to maintain' the' Tawsr of the
land aud preserve "denceiicy and good
order in a neighborhood without being
cnargeu wun uwig it jlui- (juuuuui
reasons. It discloses the weakness of
Mr. Gladdea's cause to resort to such
measures. Mr. Gladden says I could
if I w?uld: tell where some of the
whiskey came from that caused the
drunkenness. Yc>,.I can. and will,
but the telling' will operate more to Mr.
Gladden's discomfiture. A gentleman
in the neighborhood had a gallon of
nrViiofc-otr wrhi/?Vi fl-ff-pi* savino* a nfti'f. for
bimself, he treated the balance^ to
eighteen or twenty persons at two separate
times, with' an interval of two
or more hours between, butlhad noth-'
ing to do with it, only knew the fact,
rhis little taste might have increased
their thirst for more, but I do not say
it did, but if it diet, they knew where
to go to get move, or they thought they
did- Since the trial I have received
from reliable gentlemen more evidence
is to' the intoxicating quality of the
;ider sold by Mr. Gladden. We do
not exnecfc to bo driven from what we
lonceive to be our duty by empty
threats, false charges and insinuations.
While I have not told all, I think I
iiave told enough to prove the falsity
Df the charges made by Mr. Jesse
jrladden,-andeaongh to prove that I
liad ample grounds for the indictment,
3ven though I bailed, for the reasons
ibove mentioned, to prove the chirge
before atrial justice who had prejudged
:he case. Respectfully,
Will S. Barber.
