The Press and Bannei Wednesday, Nov. 23, 1887. false Parked Cotton. Messrs, W. Joel .Smith & Son have had tubule.* of cotton returned to them tor the res son that they had been water-packed. The are now at the depot and the man who pack ed them will he called upon to mukcgooi not only the loss of the weight, but the inji ry which the eotton sustained by being w<-t. I our respected friends who desire to turn ou honest pennys, without iloiug much w<>ri forit, would try some other plan than that, r packing wet cotton, they would succeed muc! better. We would suggest, It' they are <n termlncd to try to cheat in packing cotton that thev put In someoth> r weight than wn ter. Water will mildew imd ruin the eottoi every time. If a rock or some other dr; substance Is put into the bale, there will b no loss except the rock?no damage to th cotton will ensue. In either ease however, the false packin of the cotton Is sure to be detected. Then Is no possible chance to escape detcetlon, am only Inexperienced persons will try th< experiment, whereby reproach may* b brought on themselves, besides submittiii! to all losses in damage to cotton Includiu,1 reshipment., Victory of Mr. Benet at Edgefield. Josh and Lige Briegs, colored, of Kdgelleld have been admitted in the charge of murde in killing Jams S. Blackwell, white. A. 8 Tompkins opened for the defence, followed bi Solicitor Nelson and Ex-Governor Sheppan for the State and W. V. Ik-net, of Abbeville for the defence. The ease was given toihi lury at 7 o'clock; at forty minutes Inter the.i brought iu a verdict of not guilty. It will i>? remembered that the defendants were fount guilty August. 18SC, and were sentenced to bi nanged on the 24th of September of that year The case was carried to the Supreme Coiir and a new trial was granted. In August. 18S7 they were tried the second time and a mlstria was the result. Their third trial has just ter minated In an acquittal. To be instrumen tal in securing tne acquittal of a negro charg ed with killing a white man in Edgefield, it an honor which, we believe, has never beer accorded to any man before. Mr. Benet ami his associate counsel have the very best tea son for self-congratulation. They selected tht best men in Edsjefleld as their Jurors. Dentil of MIm Jones. Miss Olivia H.
