No END OF MAD DOGS.-On Sat urday a party while fox hunting with thirty-three hounds on run, noticed that thellead dog, belonging to New ton Crosson, was mad. About half the pack was supposed to have been bitten. The rabid animal got away and roamed through the county till Monday, when it was shot by Jas. P. Sligh. No doubt other damage was (If~',~ 1w it. Mr. Sli~h says that no COURT OF SESSIONS AND COM MON PLEAS. Our last report of the proceedings of Court closed with Monday night, the 10th. The following cases have been disposed of since that time: State vs. Newton Renwick, Grand Larceny-Guilty. State vs. Thomas Keitt, Bigamy Guilty. This case was considered a very important one, on account of the position of the defendant, he being a member of the Legislature from this County. It was tried Wednesday, oc cupying nearly the entire day. Keitt was defended by some of the ablest le gal talent of Newberry, but the case was so clear that the jury returned a verdict of guilty in ten minutes. State vs. Brown Hunter, Grand Lar ceny-Guilty. State vs. Tolly, Thomas and Boky Williams and Caddy Simmons, Assist ing Prisoner to Escape-Nol. pros'd upon defendants' paying the costs. ORDERS. Concerning the presentment of the Grand Jury, the Judge passed an order referring so much of said presentment as related to roads, bridges, repairs of public buildings, &c., to the County Commissioners for their action; so much as related to the bonds of County offi cers to the Solicitor of the Circuit, who shall serve copies of said presentment on the Comptroller-General, Secretary of State and State Treasurer, These three State officers constitute a board to examine official bonds. If they con sider the bond of any officer insufficient they notify him of the fact, and require him to "procure (within thirty days) such additional and sufficient surety or sureties as the said board shall approve of," or to produce satisfactory evidence before them that his bondsmen are worth the full amount of the bond, clear of all debt; "and in default of com pliance with either of the said requisi tions within thirty days, the office of the said defaulting officer shall be declared vacant," and the Governor will order an election to fill such vacancy. So much as related to the evil of Bastardy was referred to the Senator from this County, that he may secure suitable legislation on the subject. An order was passed transferring $3,226.76, deposited in the National Bank of Newbery in the name of Jesse C. Smith, former Treasurer of the County, to U. B. Whites, the present Treasurer, giving to the former credit for said amount in the settlement of his accounts with the County. SENTENCES. At 3 o'clock P. M..

Tribble)-Four years in the Penitentiary. Fortune Satterwhite, Manslaughter Ten years in the Penitentiary. DISCHARGE OF THE PETIT JURY, AND THE JUDGE'S REMARKS. Thursday afternoon the Petit Jurors were called, and the Presiding Judge, before discharging them, commended them for the manner in which they had performed their responsible duties. He told them that they had acted without fear or favor, and without regard to race or color; that they had decided all cases against colored men as if they had been white, and had made no discrimi nation on account of race, color or pre vious condition of servitude. Their verdicts were just, not one ought to be disturbed; they rest on evidence and the immutable principles of justice. His Honor then refered to the fact that out of the panel of thirty-six petit jurors only four were colored-he wvas startled at this; he attached no blame to the Jury commissioners, for they no doubt in preparing the jury box were able to find the names of very few colored people in the County who would come up to the qualifications of a juror re quired by law-"a citizen of sound judgment and good moral character." He knew the colored people were not as competent generally as white men to sit upon juries, especially in the Com mon Pleas, where frequently compli cated accounts and calculations were in issue before them; but this common objection to the colored jurors was ob viated to a great extent by the fact that whenever a juror was discovered not to be capacitated to comprehend the mat ters in issue, that fact was a sufficient ground for challenging him; that had been his invariable ruling in such cases, and would be the ruling of every judge in the State. His Honor mentioned that during the year 1874 he was assigned to hold Court at Sumter. One of the first bills found by the Grand Jury was an indictment for murder against six white men, the victim having been a man of color. The panel of the petit jury stood thirty-five blacks and one white-the white man being unable to read or write, and upon his own request was excused. .He saw at once that there was a conspiracy to take human life under the form and uise of law. This jury was swvept to t"he four winds of heaven. When he first went upon his circuit--Chester, Lancaster, Fairfield and York-out of thirty-six petit jurors one or two were usually white. Times have changed. We live under an administration that promises equal rights to all men of bot1 rae, nder the law; an administration I represented in the administration of justice. True the whites, who repre sent the highest civilization of the State, were excluded- during the evil days through which we have just passed, but there should be no retaliation. Those who represent the highest civilization should also represent the highest justice. If equal numbers of white and colored citizens, possessing the requisite quali fications of "sound judgment and good moral character" can be found in the County, they should be placed in the jury box forthe next term of Court. We have given as well as we recollect the substauce of the Judge's remarks. They touch a very -important question that the white people of South Carolina all over the State will have to meet con tinually. There is much of philosophy and sound reason, as well as justice, in the remarks, and they will no doubt have due weight. + THE NEW JURY LAW. The jury law passed at the recent ses sion of the Legislature was severely com mented upon by His Honor, and char acterized by him as a backward step in civilization. The portion of the law so objectionable is that which provides for supplying deficiencies in the petit jury. Its practical operation may thus be illus trated :-A prisoner is arraigned for trial on a charge of murder; there are say only thirty-one jurors on the panel, five having been excused; the prisoner de mands that the panel be completed, and it must be done. How? The Jury com sioners are called into Court, or, if they are miles away, are sent for, and bring the jury box with them. Section 4 of the Act says, "That when the jury lists are prepared by the Jury commissioners for each year, they shall place in a sep arate apartment of the jury box the names of one hundred persons qualified by law to serve as jurors, who reside within five miles of the Court House,. from which shall be drawn the jurors to supply the deficiency," &c. The Jury commissioners, then, in the presence of the Court, draw the additional names required-one juror so drawn may live five miles from the Court House, ano ther three, and so on. All these must be summoned and make their appearance before the trial can proceed. A whole day might thus be wasted. It is hoped the Legislature will correct this defect in the law as soon as possible. THE JUDGE. Though suffering from indisposition. Judge Mackey occupied the Bench for twelve successive days, Sunday exclud ed of course, giving the closest and most earnest attention to the trials in every case, small and great, and deciding dis puted points of law with a readiness and fairness that gave satisfaction to all, and won for him the respect and admira tion of the Bar and citizens generally. THE SOLICITOR. Col. Ball had his hands full; the criminal (locket was extremely heavy. His labors were severe and constant, but were performed with untiring zeal and energy, and with commendable ability. Although not an orator, his logical reasoning and intimate know ledge of the criminal law make him a very effective speaker, and few are the guilty that escape him. It is the gen eral opinion here that not a single guilty prisoner did escape him. The conduct of the entire Court throughout meets the sproval of the people, and the results attained are eminently satisfactory. We have struck a higher plane in judicial affairs. the effect of which will be a greater regard for the laws and a consequent decrease of crime in the County. COMMON PLEAS COURT. The Court of Common Pleas was opened Thursday afternoon. The lim ited time left was employed in disposing of Calenders Nos. 6 and 4. THE NEW SHERIFF. The only case in the Common Pleas of general interest to the public was that of the State of South Carolina and Dan'l B. Wheeler vs. Jno. J. Carring ton. Messrs. Wheeler and Carrington were the candidates last Novemibei'. C. was declared elected, and W. brought an action against him in the nature of a quo warranto. C. demurred to the complaint; but when the case was called Thursday he withdrew his demurrer and allowed judgment of ouster to be taken against him. Mr. Wheeler has given bond and entere<c upon the duties of the Sheriff's office; his bondsmen are J. M. Wheeler, J. D Cash, J. S. Floyd and J. B. Floyd, Judge Mackey has gone to Laurens and is holding Court there. We have given much space to the poceedings of the Court this wveek, be cause we believe that they would inter est our readers throughout the County. SUBURBS OF MOLLOHoN. As your columns are open for items from all parts of the county, I will dot a line occasionally. Begin first with crops. Wheat good; <%rn good ; cotton has suffered for rain and is sorry. Farmers have had a fine time for saving fodder and hay. Our Trial Justice, J. W. R., has been very busy for the last few days trying negroes for stealing wheat. Health has been remarkably good this summer. "Palmetto Guards" drill once every fortnight. We have had fine rains this week, which makes a better prospect for sweet potatoes, turnips, late cabbages, &c. If you are fond of ginger cakes and molasses candy come up soon, as near ly every farmer has his cane patch and is busy making molasses. Mrs. Osborne J. Bishop died last Monday. One of my neighbor farmers has a new kind of corn that he calls onions. There has been a great deal of fruit, and a good p>ortion of it has been made into brandy. M. Sep. 13, 1877. A VILE SLANDER.-The New York Times of the 6th inst. contai.ned a spe cial dispatch from Washington stating that "Col. Keitt, of Newberry, S. C.," had been arrested on a charge of Big amy. Col. K. is widely known, and his friends from different parts of the country have been writing to him for an explanation. As soon as the paper reached New berry Judge Mackey, then holding Court here, immediately sent the following dispatch to the Charles ton News and Courier, with 4irections that it should be given to the Associ ated Press: NEWRERRY, S. C., Sept. 11, 1877. The statement published in the New York Times that Col. Keitt, of New ber ry, has been arrested for Bigamy is ut trly false and without any fondratin POMARIA LOCALS. Rain on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday night-an abundance. Miss Chicora Holloway left on the 13th for the Staunton (Va.) Female Seminary. Hogs still dying from cholera in the Bedenbaugh and Kibler settlement. Peas, potatoes and other late crops flourishing. The fevers are still raging without abatement. Our highly esteemed physician, J. A. Berley, reports one of his cases of diph theria rapidly disappearing under a treatment of sulphur. He says: "The subject was an infant; and the case an unusually well-marked one. The pre vious treatment by the parents suggested the use of sulphur ; and I determined to give it a trial. I prescribed nothing but small quantities of 'flowers of sulpbur,' intimately mixed with sugar, and given three times per day. In twenty-four hours the patient had been so far relieved as ap parently to experience not the least incon. venience, and was playing about as usual. I commend this to the favorable notice of the profession, both because of its results in this case and the ease with which the remedy (if found such) can be applied. . I think an occasional dose might be found efficacious as a preventive of this dangerous disease." Mr. J. Bachman Boinest, a '77 "A. B." of Newberry College, assisted by Mrs. Dr. Wright, is engaged in teach ing at Seneca City, near Walhalla. Messrs. Wm. and Jno. A. Summer recently presented a fine lot of valuable books to the Library of Newberry Col lege. Their example is commended to the imitation of others. The influence of a good book placed in a public libra ry cannot be estimated. We are sorry to have our esteemed countryman, Thos. W. Holloway, Esq., returned to us "claudus in cruribus." Try to keep straight. Newberrians; or, at least, don't get crooked too suddenly. Vide alibi. Nobody hurt! Last Tuesday, whilst taking an evening drive, Mrs. Weda man and her lovely guests, Misses Ella Sligh and Louisa Greneker, were thrown out by the upsetting of the buggy. For tunately, they sustained neither physi cal nor mental injury; but gracefully accepted the situation "with merry bursts of laughter." The steed, how ever, could not participate in the mer riment, owing to the overturned vebi cle's having so strong an -inclination to compel his essaying locomotion with his heels in the air, to which he stub bornly objected. The fall was an ell or two; but it is to his gentleness and pa tience, until the Gordian knots of his harness were cut, that we are indebted for saving the lugubrious portion of the incident. We are reliably informed that "hops" exert a soporific influence. They may either hang around the person, or the person around them-from 9 to "late in the morning." We have known persons to look so drowsy after a six hours' trial that they probably would not have been able to distinguish a bear from a bean-pole. Picnics are 'still in season. There was one dinder the auspices of the Sun day-school at Mt. Pleasant on last Wednesday, and another at Geo. De Walt's, Esq., on the Friday following. Both are said to have been well-attend ed and pleasantly-conducted. Recently riding along one of the devious ways of this wilderness world, off from the principal thoroughfare, we accidentally came upon a short portion of the.. road that had actually been worked. Grasping our slackened rein, we ilied our whip and hastened away, not knowing but that the poor lunatic might still be "at large," nor in what direction might be the next exhibition of his strange insanity. Some of the roads are in tolerably good order-that is to say, the traveler may possibly sur vive a day's peregrinations, provided he has an-extra good frame of wrought iron and india-rubber; but his safest plan, even then, is to secure his coffin beforehand. His reasons for the new house are "rats !" He has already brought these corn-belligerents to so great an extrem ity, it is said, that they watch with tearful eyes for "Jim" when he goes to feed, and run along behind him squeal ing like pigs. But, unrelenting and remorseless, he urges on the corflict. The latest method we have ivi as for eliminating these rodents .s .be shrill notes of a bugle. To these, it is said, they will not listen any longer than may be required to pack their traps for parts unknown. The only known cure for hydropho bia is an ounce or two of lead, given to the dog internally. These canines are creating quite a furore in our section; yet it would be folly to hope any sup cor from the legislative halls, so long as there is so able an advocate of their cause there as is noticed in the follow ing by the Augusta Constitutionalist : The following is a speech made by a ne gro named Daffy-member of a Southern Legislature-mn opposition to a proposed tax on dogs: Mr. Speaker : I arise to a point of dis cussion, and to explain a few words of kinds of conversation to you, as has been long my desires to do, but has no oppor tunity presenting until this time of pi%sent, and which I conduct myself as a gentle man ter both black and white. In all this 'lection doings and speeching Ihave keeped my m&uth shut, but when you talk about dogs, you can count me in--yes, sah--has owned dogs--got dogs now-good dogs as ever treed a coon ; and when you remarks about killing them fellers, you know you're steppin' cn my toes, and you're bound to hear me growl. Whyfore should attacks be instituted on this useful friend of both black and white ? Which is the most ben efit to man, a dog or something that ain't no account ? Sense is sense, and dar ain't no foolin' about a dog. Come at me far aid equare. Politics are one thing and dogs is at other. Whenever you tax dogs you'se breaking ~up infringements on sas sengers, and you will have to swallow your own resolution, mind what I tell you. And des more wool gatherin' in de Governor's essage than they is dogs in the United States, Whar's do use of Jis infliction ? No, sar. HOW IT IS DONE. The first object in life with the Amer ican people is to "get rich"; the second, ow to regain good health. The first ::an be obtained by energy, honesty and saving; the second, (good health) by using GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER. Should you be a despondent sufferer from any of the effects of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Indigestion, &c., such as Sick Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Sour Stomach. Habitual Costive ness, Dizziness of the Head, Nervous ~ ~ ~niriLs. &c.. von need ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTY. Good rains have fallen. Now the turnip crop will grow. Scuppernongs are ripe. Crout will be scarce this fall. A mad dog passed through town Sat urday afternoon. Amasoka geese take possession of the public square; The Council favor them because they save expense of a scavenger cart; The miserable birds are screeching while we write-off with their heads so much for geese. Wm. Johnson killed a mad dog in his father's yard Wednesday. The dog was unmistakably mad. The chap who is quoted "as being as honest as the day is long" is going to take a back seat until next spring. Vacation is over, and the school-boys have returned to "addition, division and silence." Down in the Christian woman's heart forever lurks that sentiment, dear to all the sex, "A new bonnet, or no church." The man who nominated Henry Ward Beecher as a successor to Brig ham Young does not live in Newberry. It's a good nomination. Our friends are requested to send us news items from all parts of the coun ty. As. the nights are getting long, plenty of time can be found to write. "I think I have seen you before, sir. Are you not Owen Smith?" "Oh yes, I'm owin' Smith, and owin' Jones, and owin' Brown, and owin' everybody." T. W. Gailman, Thos. Lake and sev eral others had a fine chase after a red fox Friday morning with twenty dogs. They caught him near George Sligh's. Mr. D. N. Coates is entitled to a first class medal for a sweet potato weighing 2 3-4 lbs., which was left at this office on Saturday. He has more of the same sort. . This is the song that is heard in the land riow-"as soon as I bring in cot ton I will settle up." Wonder if the last bale is the cotton the sale of which is to make the printer's cup run over. bottle of Dr. O. A. Norris' A No. 1 wine of the Concord grape found its way to our cupboard on Friday. We regret to say that the bottle has a hole in it. It is pleasant to add that he has a large quantity of wine of different kinds on hand. The season for wood approaches, and it is hoped that subscribers who would pay for the HERALD in wood will give good loads. One dollar's worth of green pine or knotty oak is hardly an equivalent for two dollars' worth of pa per. A good article can be had at $2 per cord now. We know a boy who loves to make a noise. He won't have anything to do with anything unless it jars, or screeks, or thumps, or is otherwise dis agreeable. He'd much rather hear his sister or brother cry out from a sly pinch than eat rice pudding. If he be longed to us we'd put him out to scare crows in a corn field. A SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A most un fortunate and shocking case of shooting occurred in town Tuesday night, the 11th instant. The circumstances as de tailed by eye-witnesses are as follows: The parties to the affair are Mr. Sam'l D. Pelham and Mr. Thad. C. Sumerel, who occupy separate beds in the same room at Mrs. Bradley's. Mr. L. K. Vance and Mr. W. T, Smith occupy an adjoining room, Tuesday night about 8 1-2 o'clock, Messrs. Sumerel, Vance and Smith were together in the former's room talking. Mr. Pelham came in and entered into the conversation. No ticing Mr. Sumerel lying across his (P.'s) bed, he ordered him to get up. Mr. S. said he was not injuring the bed, and did not get up at once.
