THIURSDAY, JULY 24, 1890. T1E Co1 119 1OUS11. If anyone was ever in doubt about to necessity of tho enlargement of ic court house at this place, the in )Iveniellee suflered by the people at ie recent term of court here has ispelled all of that doubt. The ac :mmodation that were amply suffi ient twenty years ago are entirely adequato for the purposes of to iay. Pickens county is rapidly com ng to the front as one of the pro resSive counties of the upper tier of ounties in the State, and we are sad y in need of public buildings in -eep)ing with that progress. The ?opulation and wealthll of the county ins about doubled since the present >uildings were erected, and they vero never moro than suflficient for he needs of the public. Now they tre entirely incapable of accommodat ng the public or the officials, and in some respects they aro inafe as was demonstrated last week wlein the portico of the court house caie near Calling under the weight of the crowd standing on it, when if it had fallen, perhaps moro than one lifo would have paid the pelnalfy of the delay aused by thosio who antagoniz-ed the anlargement and repair of the buil. ng. There is nothing so detrimental to lie well being of a stetiol of coun 'ry, as a spirit of opposition to pub lic improvement. The benefit of such mproveinent is not con fined to any oeality, but rcdounds to the good of ,bo whole country. Tho agitation caused by tho oppo_ dion to the court house measure, has 'amnged the county's interest more than ono hundred thousand dollars, vhile there is not the ghost of a :bance of those who have raised tho >bjections of ever being benilited by ,bo delay, but instead they would m1e been benelitd had they clped Mr. D. .1I. Russell has about coin >)kted his job of miaking aii extract >f the mnortgage indebtedness of Pickens, Anderson ond Ljaurens coun ies for tL.o census department, and( ye feel sure the wvork has beeni well lone. We learn that sonme who don't .vant Mr. Russell to lbe school comn aissioner of Anderson county again ire tryin to miako capiital of hisi hav-. ng taken this job. This is not fair. [t is no refletion on his democracy wvhichm has been fried in the lire, lie iceeptedl the plae as a democrat, aceded the money to supplement his smaall salary' and did ntot allow the .vork to interfere w ith his oilicial dui ;ics. lHe has been doubly loyal to the part. Prof. HI. A. Strode, of Amherst -munt.y, Vai., has beu elected presi lent of the Clemson College by the :russtces and has aecepted the posi iOn. The~ conltractors for brick for .he building of the college prol)p, md all the buildings, are mannufact wring the brick as fast as a large 'orce of hiaud1s and ma~chuines can do t. Every building en the place will be brick. There was a report of a serious race war in Barntwcll county lust wecek. There was a collision between the whites and blacks neatr ilamburg nd one negro was killed, several whtites wvounded, and one seriously. The malitia were called out to quell the disturh,auce.

After pro ~urJng (r~t of tiw I)wto340 ;wn M 0n1 coats of the stomach, the following tests were applied with the results men r tioned. First test applied was a large needlo imimersed in liquid obtained from stomiich for sovoral hours. lIesult, the needle was slightly but plainly coated with a red layer of copper. Second test was to add to filtrato a solution of am mnonia. The result of this wa4 first to give a bluish white color with a precipi tate, which was rejdily dissolved by the addition of at solution of ammonia, giv ing a violet blue color, showing plinily the presence of copper. 'hird test: A weak solution of toro cyonide of potassiun added to filtrate in test tube. Tire was a precipito of a red color, showing presenco of copper.. We then pit solid tissues of the stom acl in a porl-elinii crucible and applied heat with bellows for two hours, reduc inlg it to ashes. Added diluted nitric acid to ashes, adding small quantity of water and then drove off the acid by the aid of heat, then filtered and applied first, the1 amnuonia test by adding a so lution of ammnionia to a small quantity of the filtrate inl the test tuhw. Result: at deep violet. bluo liquid, showing more plainly thall tihe first, test the presenco of copper. Next, immiersed a largo i-eedle for a short, time in the filtrate; result: a deposito of copper oil needle. Again, added a weak 'olution of feroeyolido po 3 tassii to small 1quantity of the iltratO inl the test, tube; result: gave a liquid of i a light red color with a precipitate.

Lizzie Dillard: Same as former wit ness in material particulars as to habits condition and and treatmentof deceased This witness read a letter written to he by the deceased telling her of her il health, dated October 19th, 1889. Dr. It. F. Smith: A question describ ing the symptoms, condition, treatment c., as above ascribed to deceased, wa; was put to this witness as an export, anc his judgment as to cause of death, wa reque.ted. "The symptoms are incom plete. No temperature is given or th( character of the pulso. The patient ha< some kind of malirial fever. The symp tons here do not indicate death fron blum-tone poisoning. The characteristi< syiptoms of poisoning are absent. Oni iN frequent p)urging, bloody stools, &C. pain in Yoiding urine. If the poison ha< bcon absorbed in thosysten,thore would have been convulsions or paralysis, &c One to three grains is a tonic dose; fiv to fifteen graius is an emotic.

Cross examined: The first antidoto iq in emetic, and eggs would be beneficial Never attended a case of copper poibol og. By use, the stomach would be Dome tolerant. Ito direct: Thickening of the Atom ach wall does not necessarily indicat poison. Mrs. Dillard re-called: The patient'i strengthli held out well to the last. Morn ing before she died she raised up in th< bed. Billie was alwaya kind to his wife ])r. R. .J. Gjilliland: The same hypo thectical question was put to this witns; as to Dlr. Smith: "'Thle symptoms ara general. No temperature hias ever beex taken. I think the woman died of somi form~ of fever. T1hie charactistic symptoni of eop)per p)oiing are absent.

Cro)ss-examinedl: There are exceptiom to these general rules. 'There are pois onous drugs which can be given in amaal dloses and gradually increased until th< stomaichl becomes tolerant. Ro-direct; It would be hard to havc i case of copper poisoning without ~omo of the characteristic symptoma nentijoned. Alex. iIallumis: Deceased was sicl4 then I wvent there last fall. She helped iie awhile in loading some cotton. Eddy Wiggins: Deceased helped te an(d ab)out h.lf the cotton. Pa was at he gin. I told him Ma was sick, Hie anme home. Cross-examined: Pa left home at day glht that morn)ling. W. S. Kirksey re-called: Defendant sked me to stay with his wife until he ould go for the doctor. 'This closed the ovidenco for the do ense. Mr. Bowen then addressed the jury in ehalf of the accused, lie made a hurt, logical speech of one hour anti wenty minutes, in which ho went over be filets of the case, anud presented them a clear iand conici.io manner. Solicitor Anasel for the State, made a lear statemient for the State's side, lie poke forty minutes. His Honor then harged the jury on the law poiints in olved. His chnarge was clear, brief anti mipartiial. 'Thon jury went out at 4 p. m. and in houiit one one hour returned a verdict of equiital, and WVigginms was a free man. hoi. prisoner never seemed to have any onhts about the verdict, but lie gave a igh of ralief as the clerk pronounced lbe words that set him free.
