Une Man's Opinions. A paragraph in tha last issue of The Ledgor takan from Tha Abbarilla Press and lianner ?avs Southern l)?inocrata are holding up thoir hands ia holy horror at tha subsidizing whips, hut that ther said nothing against giring a bounty to the Louisiana sugar plantars or against giving extra pav to the Southern railroad for running a fast mail train That was n unfortunate comparison for tha McLaurin side of the aub^ sidy question, for it is not true. Southern Democrats did sav something against the sugar houn ty; ther fought it with all their strength, hut the Republicans forced it on the country over their protest for the purpose of securing the vote of the Lotiisian i Senators for their tariff hill and they and four Louisiana Reprasentatives were, if I am not mistaken, ii . ? uie omy uemocralic vote* it did pet. The sugar bounty was u teal pure and simple and ?o characterized by Democrat*, save by the Leuisiana beneficiaries. Ah to the $171,000 paid to the .Southern railroad, it ia cot true that no Southern Democrats have aid anything against it. The tight iu the House against it was led by a Southern Democrat; and in the Senate more Democrats were against it than Republicans, and one of the leaders againat it whs none other than Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic organization. But there is no comparison between the ship subsidy scheme and the Southern railroad bounty. The former is an outright gift it is proposed to make to a few tpu?t* and ship owners, or which nothing ie asked in reurn; the latter is extra pay that s given a railroad for making ixtra time with the mail. # # -? Mr. Amos E Datis is Acqaitted. routed of the Murder of Hi* Brotherdn-Law, J S Lyles, ia Fairfield County. I Special to The State. VTimnaboro, Feb. 23.?Mr. Atuoi E Davis baa by a jury of hie country men has been faund not guilty l^e charge of uiur der. Mr. Davie wae aoeueed of having taken the life of hie broth* er in-law, ,1 8 Lylee. Owing to the prominence and high social standing ot all the parties connected with this unfortunate tragedy a brief resume of the facta which led up to the ml affair will hegiven. The accused, Mr. A E Davis, ia ono of the heat men of thie county and hie family ie large and connections numeroua Therefore his trial excited a great deal of interest and from the commencement of the trial to its finish the court house wae densely packed with friends and sympathizers. Mr. J S Lylea was a brother-in law of the accused and fell out with Mr Dans on aacount of enine misunderstanding about the management of some property of the estate of Capt Thos Dries of which Mr. Daris had the ma age meat. Mr. Davis and the deceased were very close friends previous to the occurrence of the difficulty about the property. Previous to the fated Sunday morning when J S Lyles whs shot, he had made numerous threats to tnke the life of Mr. Davis and these threats were communicated t- Davis by his neighbors who cautioned bim to be on his gnard against his brother-in-law. The proof clearly showed that the defendant (lid everything in hie power to placate hie kinwmin hut all of hie attempts were of no avail. On the morning of the tr* gedy the deceased came to Davis' house and aaked te see him. Davis went out and invited deceased to come into the house. This was rudel v refused hy Lyles who almost immediately drew his pistol. Davie lost no time in drawing his and hoth parties began tiring. Lyles was shot twice and died almost immediately afterward. The smoke of the firing hail scarcely cleared away whon the nife of Mr Davis, who was also the sister of the dead man. rushed out of her home to her husband. The first words spoken by Mr. Davis were: "Mattie, there he liss. 1 hate it but it was mv life or his.'' The facts developed on thie trial showed beyond question that Davis was not at fault and that he was long sutToring It was truly a hard fate that after having done all ie his power to make peace between himself and his brother and former friend he should at last be doomed to the awful necessity of taking his life ' or Inning his own.
