-Th-: 2nd N. C V. passed through
Winnsboro Monday morning at 9.30
o'clock. They were en route to
Raleigh, N. C., where they will be
rnusterod om. The poldier buys
seemed very jabilant at the prospect
*of leaving the service.
?Duriisg the next two or three
weeks abaut thirty joung people will
? leave Winusboro for the vario?s
K mff schools and colleges of this and other
" ^ States. Some of them go as teachers,
but the majority go to resume or commence
their duties as students.
?A. Wiiliford's ^pica is filled today
with something of interest to
prospe ;tive buyers, and sellers of
stock of ail kinds. He still ha; on
' hand a few nice buggies to be disposed
of. Persons indebted to Mr.
Williford, and whose notes fall due
r>n rWnb<>r Tqf-. and November 1st.

?A sergeant of Troop 11 2nd
^ Ntvada cavalry was in Wiunsboro for
w? a shore while Friday morning. He
cane up from Florida wiib some of
his comrades in a c >ach' attached to
the F. U. & P. train. The car containing
these ssldiers was switched off
at Columbia, but the above mentioned
sergeant"being in another part of the
train at the time the switching was
done, was blissfully ignorant of ihe
change nntil the train had almost
Winnshnm. FTe didn't <?0
any farther, bat got off here and returned
to Columbia on the midday
train to rejoin his comrades. The
sergeant is on sick leave, and enroute
to his home in Nevada.
?The weather bureau officials have
been badly mixed up on their forecasts
this week. Showers were predicted
for Tuesday and Wednesday,
but we had sunshine instead. On
Tharsdsy, according to the bureaa, |
we were to have had clearing weather,
but we bad as a substitute, a deluge.
I Everybody realizes tbat forecasting
meteorological conditions is no "snap,"
and nobody is inclined to jump on the
weather people for an occasional slip.
Inaccurate predictions do not occur
'g frequently. The Augusta Herald adi
vances the following theory to account
for the continued downpour of rain.
"Old J. Piuvius pulled open the valve,
tied tbe striog and then went off on a
summer vacation."

AS TO MR. MILLER.
Oar attention has been callcd to
what seems to be an injosiice t > Mr.
Miller, in our remarks concerning the
examination for Citadel Beneficiaries
from this county.
We wish to disclaim any intention
whatever of misrepresenting Mr.
Miller, or of accusing him of wrong
motives. We understand ttat while
i - c n v iJ-i J /i a. t
ne )s a nauve 01 r airijeiu ^oamy ue
has made his home in Chester connty
for a number of years past, and was
legally justifiable in standing the examination
in Chester county, lie consulted
tin Citadel authorities and
Supt. W. D. Knox as to his eligibility
in Chester county and was advised
by both to stand the examination
We simply calied a:tention lo the
"talk going the rounds'' in justice to
Mr. Simms. We were not acquainted
then with the facts in tbe case and we
didn't want to see a Chester boy lose '
bis opportunity.?Chester Bulletik.
The young gentleman referred to
in the above is a son of Mr. R. G.
Miller row in the employ'ot J. 0.
Boag in WTinnsboro. Young Miller's
appointment as a beneficiary cadet is
being contested on tbe ground that he
is not a citizen of Chester countv.
Mr. R. G. Miller lived In Cbe't'-r
uDtil a comparatively short time ngu,
and his son has lived there most of L *
life.

A NEW TRrAL FOR HENRY DAVIS.
Henry Davie, the negro boy who
has been twice convicted of billing
Mr. Jac E. Suber, has again been
granted a new trial, and Ibe case will
come up for the third time at the ap
proaching term of court. The opinion
which secures a new I rial for
Davis w>;s handed down by the
Supreme Court Jast week in response
to an appeal presented by his attorneys,
Messrs. J. E. McDonald and
Jas. W. Ilanahan. Mr. Suber was
shot by Davis on August 10ih, 1896.
Almost -.verybody is more or less
familiar with the facts in this now
celebratf d case and we shall not give
them here.
The folio wine extracts from the
opiDion of the Supreme Court grant'
ing the prisoner a new trial appeared
in the State of last Sunday:
The grounds of appeal allege that
the circuit judge commented on the
facts, in violation of that provision of
the constitution which intercedes such
a course.
By the bri-f it appears that the
circuit judge used this language:
"No**-, in considering this whole case,
Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, if you
have a reasonable doubt as 10 the
orii?lf nffha flwnepd if vnn hflvi* n
doubt in considering the testimony
whic'i i? well founded, a doubt such
as a reasonable and prudential man
wonM entertain in affiirs of his own
concern, under the facts aud evidence
as that in this case, that would be a
reasonable donbt. And also in his
chargc !:e said: 'In this case, the
question of the right to make an arrest
cannot ari^e.'
As to the firet quotation, it is evident
that the circuit judge was betrayed
into an (expression of his opinnv?A?i
*! ??-? r\ ( (Ka f ftsfi mrtn xr
1UU uputj tug WClgUbUl lUt (UCllUJ VUT
So, also, in the second quotation, it
appears that unwillingly the circuit
judge s'..fi'?red himself to state what
was his inference from the testimony
which had been offered. Such a
course as -. > either of the questions
was not: open to the judge; by the
constitution he was debarred this
privikg;, and both instances present
reversi'*' error. This disposes'of the
seen:.; forth grounds of appeal,
An^iiicr qu-wion is as to the power
?.f th-. nicuit judge in his charge to
:iinit lie inquiry of the jury in the
ipp'i iiiT. of re facts to the crime
of tu ir.sl .tighter by declaring that
::nuslaa^iit't lr m the accidental but
.i killi ^ of a human creature
e?:;! nri'i- in this case. This
.i;.? It is but due to the circa-{
ju I,- stale that his charge in
la;,ior fl-vn the principles of law
f*n?*h.^urder, manslaughter and
self utie^sc weie admissably put, but
it is to be regietted tbat these mistakes
have occurred.
Ia the Coal question considered, tho
court decides that when a thief is
caught in the act of stealing from the
person, or the house, or the premises
of scch an owner, that the owner., in
such a c?.se, is authorized to arrest
fhe thipf mid rpwain his nronorfv at
that moment in the possession of the
thief.
Tne court holds that only in such a
restricted sanss could the jadge have
made the charge as fo tne right to
arrest.

A Letter From a Private of the. 1st S. C.
Regiment.
The following letter has been handed
ns. It will give the views of the
privates in the 1st S. C. Regiment:
Camp Caba Libre, Jacksonville, 1898.
D<?flr hrnfher?When T ffot back to
vv" ?*? *" O' *
camp I was informed that a petition
had been started while I was at home
and that over 900 names had been
signedtoit. Col. Tillman has taken
it in charge and has promised to ste
that we are mastered out of the service
of the United States. When Ireturned
I was pretty sick and snffered
all last night. I went to Dr. Liwson
this morning and explained mv condition
to him and he tnrned to one of
his assistants and told him to give
me some quinine, and marked me
duty wbicb means a march of uboul
fivo miles to Jacksonville and return.
Col. Tillman seem-; to b* pretty sure
that we will be mustered oi.t of the
service and a great many of the commissioned
officers are willing to beltthat
we will be mustered out of
service inside of 20 days. Almost all
of the boya * a .1 ;o <ro home. Host
of th'm !i .ve left good, paying positions,
to join the army to protect the
hjuor of tiicir couutry and would
gladly shed the last drop of their
hlnod in the disshar^G of thnir
duty, but now that hostilities have
ceased and peuce ii reasonably sa:e,
I think that thev should be allowed to
return to their business and loved
ones. Someofihe men are married
and joined for patrio.ic .reasons alone
and not for the paltry $15.60 that the
government allows them, and now
that the war is ended they desire !o
return home to wife and children,
who need their help more '.ban the
government, that ibey gave up so
much to serve^ Ot course there are
some of the officers that are mating
more tbau they ever did before and it
is not supposed that they are very desirous
of returning home and giving
up what they consider a good job. I
think that the boys have gone through
enough hardships for wh4' seems to
be a "thankless government, and thr;J

done enough for lbs officers and trfa-"
it ought to bo left t:> them a*, to
whether they wa:it to go h';mo or not.
Of course some of the officers are nicc
enough and left better pujing situations
lhau they have at present and
! ihey see that we have dcue our duiy
to oar country, but there aji som*
[others that are receiving more pay
j than before and they are tlij ones that
I are doing the most kicking.
j . Whiie I was at h )me (Jo!. Tillman
J made some fpeccht's to the boys and
| told them to go ahead and sign their
pennons aud bring them to Lun anc!
that he would see thai they would be
mustered out- During one of these
meetings Dr. Lawson made his appearance,

out and lie came Jo the front wi;h
'tears in hie eyes" and promised to
resign which called forih great applause
from the crowd. We are sorrj
to see him at his old place again as
we hoped and prayed that we had
gotten rid of him for good, and to see
that he did not keep his promise to
the boys and resign as he said he

will now close, hoping to hear from
you soon.
Deafness Cannot be Cnrcd
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.;
There is only one way to care dea*- {
ness, and that i3 by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
tbis tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf-J
ness is the result, and unless the in-]
flammation nan be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of '.en are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mnou3 surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any ca-e of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Mali's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars;
