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.?

Mr. Money said it had been
claimed that the American people
were losing if 1(50,000,000 a year
because that amount was paid to
foreign vessels for carrying our
'jouimorce. He alleged that the
United States hud*lost nothing, as

Americans of ten or twelve millions

will be a profitable investment.

Path, in this county, is to have a

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
