To the Editor of the Dispatch: Winter continues to hold that weakling "spring tide" in its arms and is lulling it to sleep, (how we wish it would arouse and shake c ff its sponsor and come forth in all its Bunshice and warm old mother earth and cause vegetal ion to grow, the flowers to bloom and the birds to warble their enchanting notes) we live on trustiog, for "hope is eternal in the human breast," aDd we know' that the life giving rays 01 summer will surely come anil our cold hearts will warm up. and even the female aide of the house will forget that the peas have not been able to grow, that the beans have been twice killed in the crook, that thrice has the corn been bitten to the ground and the early potato has been returned to mother earth more than once, to say nothing of the total destruction of the fruit crop. Indeed, could Jack Frost and Fierce Wind have heard the maledictions that have been hurled at them they might have relented, and in sorrow for stricken humanity, have gathered their 8gencies of luin about them and sped to the Arctic regions where their presence does no harm and where field and garden are * i 1 not a prey. Oar farmers are sii'l working with * might and main to get corn in the ( around and cruaDO ready for the cot o w ton and it is astonishiDg how much they have done between showers and in the mud and cold. Business is fairly good, however, and the merchants, though blue, are not really as unfortunate as the agriculturalists, though no one has any ground to boast of. f Since my last a good woman of the Samaria neighborhood has been called to her reward. The widow of the late Maj. Emanuel Quattlebaum answed the summons after a pilgrimage of over eighty years. She was a mother in Israel and though gone to the haven of rest, her deeds to her family, to friends and humanity at large, will live and bear fruit so long as memory endures. The society of the Baptist Young People's UnioD, of the Baptist church I here, is a flourishing one and much good is being accomplished among ' the young people. The State con vention, which met here last year, ' wis held la3t week in Columbia. The 1 delegation from here was a full and an enthusiastic one. Rev. A. C. Wilkins, our pastor, than whom ro church in the State can boast of a superior one, headed the list, Albert C. Jones, the Secretary of the State Committee, Ef. Ridgell, Miss Lottie j Ridgel), Miss Eva Cooner, Miss Robbie Wakefield, Mrs. Dr. F?x and | Prof. Edwards, President of the lo cal Union, and perhaps others I have ' forgotten, attended. They report a J grand meetiug and are more than ever < advocates of the work among the * 1 young people and training them up in the Masters cause. Dr.E.C Ridgell f was prevented at ihe last moment from goiDg, though he was first on * the program and cue of the hardest 1 workers in the cause in the Stito. 5 Our town is delighted now by the * presence of the Rsv. J. H. BolJridge * and wife. For years he was pastor ( of the Baptist church here. He 1 preached one of his inimitable ser- ( iuods yesterday, and it having been noised abroad that he would preach, * standing room was almost at a pre- 1 miurn. He is doing a great woik at ; Lancaster and bis influence is largely c felt throughout the denomination in c Ko Rfofn liicrVif anntlipr f.irm. I f er pastor (and the first oik-) of the Baptist cburcb, Iv*v. N. N. Barton, preached an able sermon to a crowded house. Verily, yesterday was a field dry for the Master's cruse. In the afternoon Presiding Eldtr Hodges preached a magnificent sermon in the Methodist church. Mr. Hodges is one of the foremost ministers and is perhaps one of the ablest men in the South Carolina Conference. Batesburg has lately been enlivened by the presence of a number of visiting young ladies, some of whom arc: Mi9S Utsey, of St. George's, Miss Mary Wiugard, of Lexington, Miss Clara Harrigal and Miss Irene McNeil, cf Graniteville, Miss Holme?, of Charleston, Miss Kate Branch, of McCormick, Miss c Bauskett, of Columbia, Miss McLaurin, of DiilioD, Miss Miller, Miss c Henry and Miss Perry, of Trenton. 8 Tbe reception at the Batesburg ? Club Friday night was a biilliaut ' 8ffiir. Tbe youth and beauty was J very much in evidence; also the ma- v trons and men ^of the town were numbered among the guests. ? Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, of Edgefield, 3 widow of Captain J. M. Jones, is | spending awhile in our village. Occasional. April 10, 1899.

A rn yt4Si\jkiL y vyC' v Vv'hcn death "^,' -f ^? -'- ientles?s hand v ^ h^band.^ -1votion and work fv and helpfulness v>"~ were worth the while, when il comes so soon to this tragic end. If men would only take the most comfvir,*' ct>ncp acainst the en croachiaents of ill-health, there would be fewer bouses of mourning, and fewer women left alone almost helpless before the battle of life is half over. A man's liver and stomach are twin machines that work together, cither to make or unmake. If they work wrong, they deplete and poison his blood. Impure and impoverished blood mean sickness and death. If they work right, they purify and enrich the blood. A man whose blood is rich and Sure, and whose liver is active cannot well e unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, indigestion and costiveness, which men generally disregard, are Nature's warnings that the twin mechanism, stomach and liver, is working against, instead of for him. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best medicine to use under these circumstances. It creates appetite, corrects all disorders of the digestion, invigorates the liver and fills the arteries with rich, red. healthy b!<?od. As an invigorating. restorative tonic, it is far superior to all the malt extract?. It is the great bloodmaker and flesh-builder. It docs not build sickly, flabby fat as cod liver oil does, but the firm, muscular tissues of health. " For the last nine vears," writes William Miller, Ksq.. of 651 Mulberry Street. Reading. Pa.. " I have been very poor in health. I suffered with a running sore leg. I tried many kinds of different medicines, and doctors with out relief. Then I used three l>oti!es of'Golden Medical Discovery' and can say that I am en tirely cured. I can now do as good a day's work as the next man." Unfailable?I)r.

Tbe first matter before the court :his morning was tbe bearing oi arguments on the motion for a change )f venue in tbe case of Constabh Crawford, charged with tbe murdei )f Mrs. Stuart. Tbe defense and the prosecution had a number of iffi 3avit?, which were read and intently listened to by the large crowd pres ?nt. Mr. John Stuait was in the jourt room. He has practicaliy completely recovered from his wounds md there is no scar on his face to ndicate where the bullet entered Mr. John McMaster is assisting the solicitor while Mr. Cole L. Bi a e md Mr. John P. Thomas represent the defendant. Mr. Thomas read the affidavits of the defense. The first was from CJol. John D. Frost, assistant adjutant general. He said that on the nt fchnntinor fhfl Crowd in UlgUU U? JV VMVVVMg - ? _ front of the magistrate's office was determined and excited and he believes that for the presence of the military the constables would have been lynched. Capl. Walter N. Kirkland states that on orders from Col. Frost he had assembled a squad of his company around the office; that the crowd of 400 or 500 people were very excited and boisterous and that when his company came up thej were jeered and hooted at, and stones were thrown at them one of his men bsiDg injured. His company was stationed in the rear of the office and he had to charge bayonets cn the crowd in order to disperse them. Toe bitterness was great against the constables and he thought the pre jjdice against the dispensary aud everybody connected with its enforcement was so intense in Cjlumoia that Crawford could not receive in impartial trial. Mr. Meltiah 13. Green affirmed that ;he crowd was very loud and angry n their demonstration. That he law a man with a rope with which le said be was to hang the constables; that the affiant had left a rope >n the fence at the ice bouse and hat it had been taken away by some >f the crowd. Secretary of State Cooper affirmed hat he had resided here since Janlary, but previous to that had to -isit tho city often in his official rapacity as a member of the board >f control. He is familiar with the eeling of the people as to the dis>ensary law and be doe3 not hesitate o.say that the prejudice against that he defendant cannot get a fair trial. Colonel Vance swears that the eeling and temper of the people, in lis judgment, is such that the deendant can't get a fair trial. Mr. J. Barnett, 82 years old, has ived in Columbia for twenty-five ears and believes that there is a jrejudice against the dispensary law md a general feeling of resentment igainst the constables in the exercise >f their duties, especially in this )articular instance. E. H. Westfield testifies that there s a deep seated prejudice against he dispensary law, and that there is general sympathy with the violators ?f the law. ^ John Black, shipping clerk at the lispensary, thinks that while there ;re men in the county who would jive constables a fair showing on a rial, yet there is such general preudice that he does not believe they vould receive justice. Col. W. W. Bruce believes there is ;rest prejudice agaiust the dispenary and the constables, and that the eeling has been intensified by the filling of Mrs. Stuart. E. M Stevens, formerly of Gaffley, who has lived here for several ears, believes there is intense proji lice 8gninst the dispensary law and ts enforcement. J. B. Coleman, odo of the constats implicated in the killing, avers hat in no other section of the Stub tus he encountered such opposition o the dispensary law as in C lumna. The un re fucc of the pr;?fes don of a constable, he stttes, is suffi ieiit to preveut their testimony being given any weight. J. B. Cooley, iu his affidavit, statetthat he was at rested, and that th* general presumption was that he was a constable, which, he says, is not a fact, nor his he ever been. Yet, believing him to be a constable, the prejudice against him was so great that the coronei's jury hc-ld him as an accessory to the murder, while tb< repoit that be bad anything to d< with it hid no foundation. He wa^ on the street, fifty feet away, whet the shooting occurred. He furthei stated that be would be afraid ti come to Columbia to stuud tmleveD. as he bad been informed that b< would be killed if be ever came bark Consequently be is staying away a* oreseut. J. C Doru, another of the const b'es. hffirais that there is a deep seated prejudice against the eonstable iu the county. W. R Crawford, the defendant, doesn't btlitve that he can get a faiand impartial trial and asks that th< case be sent to another county. Ba* for the protection aft' irded him and the constables by the Sheriff and hi.deputies, the Mayor, aDd the police and the military he believes he would have been lynched. The sho t ig ol Mrs Stuart has greatly intensified the deep feeling heretofore existing against the constables. The feeliDp had been further intensified by tb? publication of the articles iu tbS,ate and Southern CnristiaD Advo cate. The people generally are in sympathy with the violation of the law and be alleges that defendauU hava been acquitted not withstand i ig the positive evidence of the fao given against them by theconstabler Cases have been disposed of ever when defendants themselves admit ted facts which were in violation ci the law. Merchants and reputable nifi^ono Viort OilmJffod fin tlfi WftR ill formed, that constables could not gel a fair trial in Columbia, but they declined to make affidavits because tbej feired it would injore them in tbeii business. Finally he alleges that if he should return to Columbia his lift would be in jeopardy, even though he came to stand trial. This completed the affidavits 01 the part of the defense, but Mr Thomas read extracts from the loca and editorial columns of the State which he held were calculated < prejudice public sentiment againsl the constables in this particular case He also read an extract from tb< Christian Advocate to show the sami thiDg. Mr. Thomas, referring to the testi moDy before the Coroner's jury, saic that Crawfoid was the only coneti ble mentioned in the testimony ex cept Cooler, who, it was stated, waf on the street fifty feet away, and th< others, only so far as to say none ol them were drunk, yet the verd cl mentioned all of them a3 bein^ ! guilty of mal.clous murder. The prosecution, curium-ly e .ougb brought in an affidavit from C Jom! Fiost, also, to sustain itsicontentior agait st granting a change. In tbit affidavit Colonel Frost says that th< crowd would have assembled any where in the State under similar cir cum stance?; that he believes that th( defendants eau get as fair a trial ir Richland as they could aDywbeit else. Mayor Lipscomb thought thai equally as large a crowd would have gathered elsewhere in the State. Thai he had talked w ith citizens that night and he had heard no threats made against the constable. The dispen sary law is a3 well enforced in Columbia as in any other place in the State and prejudice against it is not such as to preclude a fair trial being given the defendant. J. S. Campbell, F. H. Hyatt, Owen Daly, J Q Marshall, W. H Funder burk and E E. Calvo individually affimc-d that they believed that a fair trial could be had. Practically the same were the affidavits of F. P. Mcintosh, W. F. Muller, E. C. Sfcull, W. D. Eadcliffe, C. 0. Marshall, of the city, Chesley Jones and W. H. Cobb, of the county. W. T. Martin declared in his affidavit that the crowd before the Mag. * ,*% , % t istrate s omce was just sucn a crowa as would assemble anywhere and he believed a fair trial could be obtaioed. T. J. Harper and L. H. Bryan declared that it was reported that Crawford had put his pistol to the breast of Mrs. Stuart and fired and that the same resentment under the same circumstances would be shown against any other officer. W. J. May declares that only a small number of the crowd were making the fuss and most of these were under the influence of liquor. An cmLibus effidavit signed by eight or ten citizens collectively was introduced declaring that the defendants could secure justice in Richland. In reply, the defence submitted an affidavit of John T. Duncan declaring that great prt jadice existed, and that it was almost impossible to secure convictions in courts when the dispensary is involved. H P. Harris declares that no such pr< judice against the law exists any where out>ide of Charleston unci be said constables are cot b-. lit \\ c) w Le n hev eive testimony arc! aie iften insulted. Sber>ff SlcCravy, of Lumens, dedares that he was iu the city two days after the killing and he heaid ifcVrral men, whom he didn't know, leelure that they would not make in affidavit that constables to. Id not get a fair tiial because it would in jure their business. He further dedared that of his own knowledge the lispensary law isopenly an flagrantly violated in Columbia as it is nowhere else in ihe S ate. Mr. John P. Thomas, Jr., opened ,he argument for the motion for a ;hange of venue and cited a number f authorities iu favor of his motiou Among Ihe cases quoted was the State vs Semmes, Alabama reports, in which the court held that a fieiy lewspaper editorial was a good cause 'or a change of venue. Severul other casts were quoted i? favor of the motion. He said: There is undeniably bit er hatred in this county against the aw and cffi -ere, who under the law, are -f quired to enforce it. He ciiiiciz- d he verdict of the coronet'e jury and trgued that it showed conclusively he feelings of the community. Aftej liscussing the affidavits in favor of he motion for a change of venue b< hen attacked the affidavits of the State against the motioD. He said hey were ueaily all opinions of citi ^ens who stated no facts and did li ;t deny the state of affairs as the defence claim they exist. Mr. John MeMaster was the first peaker for the State, who made a hort but effective talk against the uction. He said the affidavits sub uitted by the defeEce were made b* >ew citizens of Columbia, thedefendmts themselves and from officers ot be dispensary law. , Solicitor ThurmoDd spoke n< xt and talked freely about the croud f oefore Magistrate Smith's office and said a large majority of tbem weie there merely out of curiosity and to I learn the facts about the killing. Only a few of them were boisterous , and bent on mischief. He said it . was hard on a county to say that tbe jury could not render a fair verdict, ven if they were opposed to the law. Mr. Cole L Blease closed the argument and spoke in highest terms cf j the men who swore that the defendants could not obtain a fair trial ir. 1 his county. He showed conclusive, ly that there i3 much prejudice in j this city and county against the constables. Judge R. C Watts granted tbe motion for a chaDge of venue on the ' following grounds: That the sentiment of the com munity was shown by the action of j the mob in front of the magistrates'*office and that there was no doubt in hi8 mind tb*t there was some prejudice against the constables, therefore he felt justified in granting the motion and making the change of venue ' to Kershaw count v. t .. .... f Doctors Say; ' Bilious and Intermittent Fevers which prevail in miasmatic districts are invariably accompan, ied by derangements of the - Stomach Liver and Bowels.
