Our March term of court was convened promptly at 10 a. m. on Monday, Judge Benet presiding. And he presides with the dignity and courtesy of the old-time a-fore the war judges and chancellors. He talks like a judge, wisely and well ; he looks like a judge, and the people of Edgefield respect bim, aud regard him as "the right man in the right place." His charge to the grand jury was able, clear and directly to the point. And we are always glad when he is with us. ? j The grand jury was organized at the call of Clerk Hill, and Mr. Luther Reece was elected foreman. A compliment to Mr. Reece, aud a( worthy selection for the place as signed him.

MessrR. Geo. Wise, S. H. Menget, D. T. Grice, J. K.

The last case, that against Caro line Kimbrel, assault and battery with intent to kill. Verdict, guilty. Sentence, 8 months in the county jail, or $50 fine. J. W. DeVore, Esq., for defence. "There ' being no further busi ness" on the criminal side of court, the jurors were dismissed, and the court, as the Masons say, was "closed in*short form." And after about three-thirds of the jurors and witnesses had provided themselves with the requisite amount of the .'chemically pure," and departed hence, there was a deplorable "et?lness" abounding throughout our town. It is understood that the Prohibitionists will hold their Convention before the' regular Democratic Convention ia held. This, it is supposed, is due to the possibility of the regular Conven tion passing some rule or adopt ing some, oath or pledge which would handicap the Prohibi tionists. Some time ago the Prohibitionists ran up against such a snag, and they may be afraid ot some such thing again and may want to be the "early birds" in the political field ' A $250,000 cotton factory at Croft's mill has been chartered This makes three quarters of a million projected in cotton mills in South Carolina last week. The total for the year is $3,776,000, and if this thing keeps on by the end of the year 1900 South Carolina will have $18,000,000 invested in new cotton mills to say nothing ol the old. It ia reported at Montgomery, Ala., that General Wheeler, who is expected home noon from the Philippines, will announce himseli as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor of Alabama, and will not, therefore, be a candidate . for renomination to Congress from his distiict.

What farmers can do by co operation in the matter of road making is interestingly told by a Michigan correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer. It is a sandy country where the corres pondent lives, and the toads were generally poor throughout the year. The town was poor also, and refused to improve the high ways. Then the farmers decided to help themselves. About five years ago twenty-five of them came together a?d offered to haul marl one day free if the township would allow them to take the marl from its bed. The township wa? willing, aud about twenty men volunteered to shovel and level the marl, and so the first half mile was laid. That road proved such a success that the next year an other half mile was put down. This marl packed down so hard and made such excellent bed fdr gravel that the farmers donated $225 and labor for about one quarter mile of gravel.: This be ing put on in what was always a wet place, it was spread about eight inches thick. Next year $250 was collected and about one half mile was put down spreading this only about four inches. This year only $100 was collected,. but a quarter mile strip waB put down, finishing the mile started five years J0 before. Besides this about a . hal " mile of marl was put down ready for gravel next fall. This action of the farmers stirred up the] townspeople *i large, and now the town has offered to raise $600 fora _ gravel if the farmers will furnish^ the labor to shread it. That they will do willingly. ?I d I a Awful Crime in Georgia. Carterville, Ga., March 9. Details of a shocking murder in Paulding county, twelve miles, from here, is printed in tho News today. The victim was a young woman, Miss Nell McDowell. The girl had been reared by Son Jones, an old man, and his wife. The wife, it is stated, charged her husband with giving too much attention to the girl and left him. ? neighbor of the old man says that threats have been made to report the two to the grand jury. Sunday night, as the girl was sitting by the fire, some one stuck a shotgun through the window and blew her head off. Willie Jones, a son of the old man, has been arrested charged with the crime. The evidence against him is circumstantial, but very strong. The wadding from the charge that killed the girl was picked up. It was a piece of news paper on which appeared part of the cut of a chicken. The tracks of the man who fired the shot were just the size ol the shoe woru by Willie Jones. In his house a double-barrelled, muzzle loading shotgun was found with ooe barrel loaded and one empty. The load was drawn and found to he wadded with newspaper on which was the balance of the chicken cut. What makes the tragedy of mor? horror is, according to the infor mant of the News, that the girl is .said to be the daughter of the old man and a half-sister to the man who killed her. 9?Atttoi*CNUBIAN TEA cures Byspep J IttlBIVl * ai?, Constipation and Indi gestion.
