THE SENTINEL. D. F. BRADLEY, Editor. PICKENS 0. 11., 8. 0.: TEUUEDAT, 3ANUAiY 13, 1881. TERIMS: P For 6ubrcription, $1.50 per an',nm, for six months, 75 cents; strictly in advance. Advertisements inserted at one dollar per e-juare of one inch or less for the first inser. ion and fifty cents for each subsequent in sort ion. Liberal discount made to merchants and others advertising for (six months or by the year. Obituary Notices and Tributes of Bespect charged for as advertisements. Announcing Candidates five dollars, In advance. Our Census. The stalwarts of the North were not satis fied with the census returns from this State, and caused the department to send back the third time to make the enumeration in town ships which they declared were fraudulently returned by the first enumerator. The cen sus bureau makes the third report which show, in the eighth township re-enumeratad, an aggregate population of 17.372 against 16,993 reported by the local enumerators in June last. Under the new apportionment, South Carolina will gain one Representative in Congress. The llonid of Directors of the South Caro lina Pnitentiary at their recent ineeting, hired owt 125 convicts to a phosphate conpa ny at ',10 per month each. Another phos phate company has 72 at the same figures. This includes, board, clothing, guarding and medical attention. The hire of convicts to railroads was raised from $5 to $7 per month. The Directors also have a $16,600 contract for getting rock for the Charleston jetties. They expect to make the institution self sustaining and will not likely call upon the State for a cent of appropriation next year. 4w+ The Stock Law. At the late session of the Legislature, the Stock law was extended to the entire coun. ties of Marlboro and dumter, and to a por tion of Edgefield, Orangeburg, Oconee and Greenville (in Greenville county the fence was put to the North Carolina line). In Oconiee the law extends from the Keowee iver, where the line fence of this County goes to the river to Jarrett's bridge on the Tugaloo river. Nothing was done with the law in this County, thare being no petitions asking it sont to the members notwithet and ing, we understand a majority of the land owners outsido of the "hog up" desire the law extended to the North Carolina line. This law wherever tried gives almost universal satisfation and grows constantly in public favor. We believe it is only a question of time when it will be made a State law, and would advise our people to make their pre parations accordingly. No Court.: AtL the last session of the Legislature the time for holding Court of General Sessions at this place was changed to the Second Monday in .Janury, First Monday in June and Third Monday in September; and the Court of' Comn mon Plens to tho Wednesdays next following Lbe Second Monday in Jan uary, First Monday in June and Third Monday in September. Last Monday was the itime that the first Court should have been hold under this new law, but the officers of the Court and others at this place were under the impression that the law did not take effect until twenty days after its ap proval by the Governor, and as the bill did not pass until about the close of the Bession it could not take effect until after the time fixed for the hold-. ing of' the first Court at this place hence no juries wereodrawn. But the Act provides that "from and after tho passage of this Act" the Courts shall be held, &c. Under this clause it scorns that the Act took effeot im, mediately after its passage. Judge Kershaw and Solicitor Coth ran so con.. strued it and camne up to .Pickens last Sunday for the purpose of opening Court on Monday, but finding no ju.. ries they loft on Monday, and we will not have a Court until next June. The lawyers, we understand, on aos count of the short time from the pas sage of the Act until the first Court should have been held, were not pre pared with their cases, and if the ju ries had been drawn nearly all of the oases would have been postponed until the next Court, consequently no. body is hurt, but the County Is saved the expenses of one Court which would have amounted to a coosiderable sum and It is really an advantlage to the tax payers of the County that no Court coulid be held. Mrs. A. M. Bunion died at Easley last Friday morning after a very short illness. The Pickens liigh School opened on Monday last with a large number of students. Mr. W. G. Coley of this County, caught 225 rabbIts.und a witch durisig the Juta Snne -. eomilide-Andrew Anderson, white, Killed by Maeck Gowan, colored. On Sunday night, the 12th of December last, Andrew Anderson, white, and Mack Gow an, colored, (known by some as Mack Blythe) both tenants of Major J. H. Ambler, got into a dispute in the kitchen of Major Ambler, about seven miles North of this place, which resulted in the killing of Anderson by Gow., an with a piece of lightwood. Coroner Park ins held an inquest, and Dr. G. W. Earle, og this place made the post mortem examintion. AnderS)n was intoxicated at the time the difficulty occurred, and lived twenty-three days after he reeeived the blow. The skull of Anderson, Dr. Earle says, was fractured, which caused his death. Gowan has been arrested and lodged in jail to await his trial. The following Is the tessimony taken at the Coroner's inquest: Jacob Lay, colored, sworn, says: I live in Pickens County; know the deceased. On Sun day, Dec. - 1880; I was in Maj. J. H. Am bler's kitchen. Mr. Anderson went in and called for me, and when he got to me caught me by the hair of the head. Says, "where is that G-d d-d nigger," and struck Mack Gowan on the shoulder. Mack moved his chair, but said nothing-reached over and got a piece of pine and struck Mr. Anderson, who fell on the floor-struck him on forepart of head. Mr. Anderson lay about a second or more and, trying to get up, caught door and it gave way, so he fell out at door backwards on his head-door about three feet high-was a rook and block at. door, but do not know if he struck either. Have seen him several times at his house since that; about three weeks since he was struck. Alfred Price, colored, sworn, says: I live in Pickens County, with Mr. Ambler. I know the deceased, have known him six or seven years. I was in Mr. Ambler's kitchen on Sunday night about three weeks ago and Mr. Anderson came in and got after Mack Gowan for some money he owed him. Mack told him he did not have it. He came into kitchen the second time and after taking hold of Jake and me lie asked for that "damned nigger" and bays, "Here he is," and struck Mack on the shoulder. Mack moved his.chair and took a piece of pine and struck him on the head-on the front part of his head. Mr. Anderson fell on the floor, and Mack walked out of the door. le lay about a minute and got up. I did not see him fall out of door, as I walked out. Have seen him several times since, It was three weeks last Sunday night since he was struck by Mack. Mr. Anderson acted as though he was drinking, and seemed mad at Mack. When Mack struck he was standing and broke the pine in striking-stick about size of my arm. He fell backwarks when struck Willie H1. Ambler sworn, says: I live in Pickens County; know Mr. Anderson, the de ceased. On Sunday evening, three weeks last. Sunday, he came to our house and stayed till after supper, then went into kitchen. le got after Mack and struck him on the shoulder. Mack got a piece of pine and struck him on the head and he fell to the floor. I then went in the house, and when I came back out Mr. Anderson was falling out at kitchen door. I afterwards went down to M1r. Anderson's house and he was down in floor and seemed to be suffering a great deal. Stick was about the size of a man'swrist and broke in three pieces when Mack struck. I think Mr. An derson was bare- headed. Was blood ori kitchen floor next morning. Beauregard Ambler sworn, says : I live jii Pickens County ; know the deceased. Onr Sunday evening, about three weeks ago, Mr, Andersun went into our kitchen and asked Mack GIowan to settle with him. Mack toldj him lhe did not have the money and if I.e gol it before he could to let him know. Asked rot that "damned nigger" or said "here he is& and struck Mack on the shoulder with his fist. Mack moved his chair and picked up somne thing and struck Mr. Anderson over the head. lie fell on the floor and did not speak for five or ten minutes' When lie got up he started toward door and fell out backwards-door about three feet high. Ho got up and tried to get a plank and I caught him andl brought him down home, lIe walked it about I00 yards. After he got. home he lay or fell ori the floor. As we came on he said his head hurt. I saw blood on the floor. Said nothing to his".wife after getting home. I stayed witL him about fifteen minutes or longer. llave seen Mr. Anderson a few times since he was struck but he said nothing as to what was the matter. Mrs. Rosa Anderson sworn, says : The de ceased is my husband. Mr. Anderson has been spitting blood ever since he was hurt three weeks ago last Sunday. He also com plained frequent ly of being sick at his stomach. As soon as he was brought borne from Mr. Ambler's I felt of his head and it was perfect,. ly soft, and rushing with blood. I have'had to at tend and wait on him ever since. The blood he spit, smelt very offensive. I am con fident the blow he received was the cause of his death. The verdict of the jury of inquest is in the usual form, and concludes as follows: That the blow given by Mack Gowan upon the head or the deceased iD the kitchen of Major James Ii. Ambler on last Sunday night three weeks, was the cause of his. death. And so the jurors aforesaid upon their oaths do say, that the aforesaid Mack GIowan, In man nor and fornm aforesaid, Andrew Anderson, then and there feloneously did kill, against the peace and dignity of the same State afore said. The Btringent Whiskey Law. MR. EDITOR : I hail with gratitude and pleasure the law recently passed by the Legis lature respecting the whiskey trafio. It Is certaiuly a step in the right direction, andI hope that it is but initiatory to a more exten,. ded and stringent enactment. Whiskey and like intoxicating beverages, have wrought in. calcable damage to our country. It has ruin ed some of the best talent, and brought shamie and disgrace upon the most honorable families of our State. We are glad, indeed, to see that the aut horities of the State have at last awak ened to the Importance of suppressing so dis tructive an agent. Some, I know. will con demn this action of that honorable body, but the good peoplo of the State will applaud. Pickons County will be largely benefitted if her good citizens will profit by the law. In this County It amounts to a prohibitory law for the County, as no man in the County has a right to sell it in any shape whatever, since It is prohibited at Liberty and Central. It was wise to include Bittern made with intoxi cating liquors, as these, for the most part, are disguised with some kind of drugs stmply to obtain a patent, and do not possess any medi,. cinal value. Miany of them are gotten up by bar-keepers who make no pretension to tbe knowledge of the science of medicine. It re quires no chemist to determine their worth lessness. Each bottle has upon its label the times a day Is suficient to secure its medicinal efect, (which Is usually the dose.) then a whole bottle full drank at once (as it often is) would produce other effects than mere drunk, ness. This of itself is sufficient proof that they possess no medical worth ; and the sell. Ing of them, in a moral point of view, is as condemnable as the selling of whiskey or oth er intoxicating drinks, which Is nothing less than the price of blood. When men have no more respect for moral obligation and charso ter than to make and vend such a gigantic evil, and thereby Impose such suffering and sorrow upon a peaceable public as necessarily follows, it in prudent and right that the law-making authorities of the State should, by special en actment, suppress it. It is also right and the duty of every good citizen to aid in carrying the law into effect. On the 14th day of this month the act referred to takes effect. Let every man promptly enforce the law against all violators, without respect to persons or position, so that the still houses as well as the bar-rooms may be closed up and Pickens County be freed from a curse and reproach she has long endured. Should we be silent and allow persons engaged in this vile traflo to ignore the lar, and neglect to avail ourselves of its benefits, the law will be repealed and the future of the County will be darker than her past history. Let us be free from this curse while we may. SrMA. [Fon THE SENTINEL. MR. JOHN E. GILLESPIE-D0ar Sir and Brother: I have noticed your last article in reply to queries Nos. 1 and 2 and as I see no answer in Scriptural proofs to them, I now simply say that I never asked the questions to got to answer them, and would further say that you will have a right nice job when you prove by the Word that the Caunch as fine linen sets apart a man for ordination, calls a presbytery and by the laying on of hands ordains him to the full power of the gospel minis try to administer her ordinances,'&c., (that he has no power,) and I would further say that you will have a right nice job to fully define the power of a minister, and as I bogan to ask for in formation, when you get able let me hear from you. I don't proposo writ, ing just to got my namo in the p:.per. Yours frator nally in Christ, JAs. T1 BURDINE. Eastatoe Items and otherMatters. MR. Em-ron: Snow plenty, about twelve inches deep. Thle boys had a fine time, but the rabbits enime out behind. Thle law prevent ing the stock from North Carolina rangoing across in to Pickone and other' counties of this Stato isi a splendid retaliation. Guess it will put a damper oni some of those stickey fingered fellows over the ridge. WVell, don't care it it does. I'vo taken the word we, 1.ut can't help it no0w. Sutherland and Edens are so well lelased with their lazrmon Wheel they dont knowv how to tell it. Not much small grain sown, weath. er too badl for some time to sow. Weoll, the w hiskey lawv has aibout come to a point. Guess it is all right, but those who favored it ought to wash the tobacco stain off their teeth and stain them with the nasty wood no more. Suppose we all petition the next Legislature to stop the dale of the weed. Well I'll do without the dram and backer if de ole woman will quit dat foreign poison and kauphy. John Gravley and family and Jas Stan-ell are gone to Texas, and three or four more families are fixing to go soon. Better watch where they are going. CITIZEN. State Laws.
