Even when the juries do their duty there are often other difficulties in the way?the leniency of judges and the mercy of governors. In Ocenee last week couvictions were secured in two homicide cases that appear to have been particularly atrocious, hut the sentences imposed were ridiculously light. Three men tried for the killing of a woman were convicted of manslaughter only, which would seem to be leniency itself, but the presiding judge let the prisoners off with a six years in the penitentiary for each. In another case the defendannt was convicted of manslaughter having killed, his father-in-law with an axe, and he, too, got off with a term of six years in the penitentiary. Attention would not hAve bean directed to these instances ware it not for the fact that there have been previous cases in which very light sentences have besn imposed by Judge Ernest Gary, who in many other respects, is an excellent judge.?

The Hate Colonel William Walkup After Tears of Research Maintained that It was in \' nth Carolina. Rook Hill Herald. Referring to the publication in Tho Herald of Saturday concern: a.1 i *?ii i r a _ i lug uit) uinupiacu oi AU<irew Jackson, Mr. E. B. Mobloy on Mooday related to us u conversation be once bad with the late Colonel William Walkrtp, who lived in iJnien county, N. C.j not far from old Tirzab church. Colonel Wnlkup had made extensive research to ascertain tho tact aa to the place of birth of Jackson and he felt convinced that the spot is in North Carolina, but enly about three hundred yards froas the State line. Hie statement to Mr. Mobley and Rev. W. M Anderson, who was also a visitor at Col. Walku^'s home at the time, was that Mrs. Jackson's home was in Beuth Carolina, the old t4Crawford place," very near the State line. She had been on a visit to a daughter, a Mrs. Lessley, who lived in North Carolina, and urLan nn tko wa w T,nvu t/u vu? TT?7 IW UCl IIUUiCf she stopped at the heuse of another daughter, a Mrs. McCanie," where Andrew, the future presi-; dent, was horn that night. As stated abere, the McCamie house was in North Carolina and a pile of dirt and broken bricks, which are still te be seen, are to this day pointed out to the traveller as the ruins of the birthplace of Andrew Jackson. Whether this be a true account of the event which gave to America one of her greatest presidents and nsost distinguished statesmen, must remain a secret until the gravo shall give up its dead. Mr. Mobley made the point at Col. Walkup's home that nightthat the Waxhaws was his birthplace whether Old Hickory lirst i saw the light of day in North ! Carolina or South Carolina?that if in the former State, the place is about 300 yards from the line; if in the latter, the distance is abeut 500 yards. "But," remarked Mr. Andop- ; soa, "it matters not which of the 1 ' I Caroliaas he was born in?be never amounted to anything until ; Tennessee crot hold of him" " ? I That seemed to be one point settled. At any rate, it wan not disputed. (Mr. Anderson is a Tennessean) ; When on the return from Col. Walkup's heme, Mr. Mebley and Mr. Anderson hitched their horses and went to the pile in the cotton patch, which is said to be i the ruins of the McCamie house, and each obtained a brick as a souvenir. On that of Mr. An- . derson was the imprint of a cat's ' feet thai had been made before the brick was burned. The farm j is now owned by John F. Redman. The glory of that historic section has departed, and where once was the gaiety and happiness of j cultivated Southern homes, the stranger now is not even greeted by the bay of a friendly dog. All that was best in that land is gone, only a white farmer here and tbe#6 being left to tell the mournful*' story of its former greatness. /. j mmmmm to writ? fbr our con1* 'cntlal Utter before applying for paten' ? be worth money.
