assisted by J. C. Witherspoon, Esq. For defence,
Messrs. J. P. Gage and J. F. Hart.
Verdict, not guilty as to Simon Cooper. G uilty
as to Charles Campbell, and mercy craved.
Sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
The grand jury made the following presentment
:
State of South Carolina, )
York county, October Term, 1880. f j
To Tills Hon. Judge Hudson : Sir: The |
grand jury* have endeavored to perform the ,
several duties within their jurisdiction, and
herewith respectfully submit a rei>ort' of their ,
investigations:
The books and accounts of the county officers
have been carefully and critically examined,
and found neatly and properly kept.
The county jail is in very good condition,
and the prisoners properly cared for.
The grand jury find at the county Poor j
House 2*2 paupers^?12 white and 10 black.
Cleared land in cultivation, acres, 130
"Woodland, 150
Old field and pasture, 100
r Total acres, 470
^ The live stock consists of 1 horse, 2 mules,
4 cows and 11 hogs. Products of the farm:
7 bales of cotton, 500 bushels corn, 4,000
pounds fodder, 75 bushels potatoes. Aggregate
exnense of farm and paupers, ?008.75.
t The grand jury find this institution almost
self-sustaining, and by judicious management
think it can be made not only self-sustaining,
but a source of revenue to the county ; and
we therefore earnestly recommend the present
superintendent, Mr. J. C. Gwin. for reappoint-!
ment. and also beg that he be given an additional
mule for the coming year?1881.
The grand jury of York deem it obligatory
on them, in this their final presentment, to
fall into line with her sister counties and join
the crusade for humanity. Whisky and pistols,
the twin enemies of morality aiul prosperity,
are too freely "used, and the grand jury
earnestly recommend the passage of such laws
as will at least lessen the increasing evil.
Very respectfully submitted,
R. J. Latta, Foreman.
KERSHAW ON DUELING.
At the recent term of Court at Spartanburg,
Judge Kershaw had the followiug to
say to the grand jury on the subject of duelling
:
Public attention has been recently drawn
to a consideration of the lavrs against duel
ling, and I deem it my duty as a magistrate
and conservator of the peace, to lay before
. you some views of that subject, the substance
? of which I had the honor to present for the
consideration of His Excellency, the Governor,
last year in an official communication respecting
the statistics of crime, invited by
him. There does exist a necessity for further
. legislation to secure the enforcement of these
laws. In order to be abreast with the progress
of the most enlightened nations, it is
necessary that this offence against the law,
human and divine, shall cease to exist among
us. The first^nd highest duty of the State
is to protect the lives of her citizens. All
other subjects of legislation are of secondary
and minor importance to this. lu proportion
as a State fulfills this chief duty, she takes
rank among enlightened natious. It is with
great pride that the people of South Carolina
can refer to her statutes and laws as placing
her among the foremost in this-respect. On
the particular subject of duelling she has
not only maintained intact the stern mandates
of the common law, which pronounces
a fatal duel murder in all concerned, but
since 1812, has hy her statutes prohibited
every such offeuce by heavy penalties. These
statutes were the result of an agitation of the
subject begun in 1803 under the lead of that
distinguished officer of the Revolutionary
army, Major-General Pinckney, earnestly supported
by the Honorable Society of the Cincinnati
under whose auspices petititious were
sent to the Legislature containing the names
of thousands of gentlemen, the very "piuk
and flower" of tlfe chivalry of the State.
Her later laws have manifested a marked
advance in the same direction. The constitution
of 1868 declares that any person who
shall fight a duel, or send or accept a chal
Jenge for that purpose, or be an aider or abet
tor in fighting a duel, shall be deprived of
holding any office of honor or trust iu this
State, hud shall be otherwise punished as
the law shall prescribe. Laws have been pass
ed providing such further and adequate punishment,
the penalties of which are amply
sufficient to prevent the offence if properly
enforced. No matter from what source this
constitution and the later laws came, they are
characterized in this respect by the highest
Christian civilization. That constitution is
the supreme law of the land and expressed
embodiment of the sovereign will of the people
of South Carolina, ami upon which rests her
whole system of jurisprudence and her organ- ;
ie existence as a State. Every member of j
the General Assembly ami every other officer
of the State hohls his powers and authority
by virtue of this constitution, and is sworn
to "support, protect and defend it." The
Governor, under it, assumes the sworn duty
"to take care that the laws be faithfully exe
cuted in mercy."
Every citizen owes implicit obedience to
this constitution and all the laws of the land.
No man or class of men may rightly disregard
them. Nevertheless, it is well known
that the constitution and laws in this respect
have been frequently violated without effort
to enforce them against offenders.
This is not, in my opinion, because these
laws are not approved by the people; on the
contrary, I am fully persuaded that a vast
majority of them condemn the duel on moral
grounds, and earnestly desire to be protected
by the State from its pernicious effects. They
are fully aware that they prejudice the State |
and its people in the estimation of the civilized
world; cause them to be misconceived and
misrepresented, and tend fatally to obstruct
their material prosperity and moral advancement.
These offences spring from a sentiment of
supposed duty and privilege, which is confined
to a very small class of our people, a class,
however, possessing great honor and influence.
From its rauks chiefly are taken our statesmen,
legislators, members of the liberal professions
and leaders of society. To this fact
is due the quiescence and seeming supineness
and indifference of the opposing sentiments.
Hence the reluctance of private individuals
to undertake prosecutions against the offenders
of this class. Hence, also, the failure in
these cases of peace officers and others to see i
that the laws are faithfully executed, as their
duty requires. But this is a government "ot
the people, by the people and for the people.'
No class, however honorable or influential,
should be permitted to set at naught the con%
8titutiou and laws of the State?the organized
expression of the will of the people. So far j
as concerns past offences of this nature, while
courts and juries must perform their full du- \
% ty and vindicate the majesty of the law, of-1
lenders may well plead at the bar of execu- j
tive and judicial clemency that they were
tempted to the wrong by the criminal blind- >
ness of the officers of the law and the silence ;
of the voice cf the people. To such a plea !
the ear of mercy would not be wholly deaf.
But for the future, gentlemen of the grand
jury, it behooves the people to demand of the ;
Legislature security for the rigid and ample ,
enforcement of these laws. If such be your
opinion, and you should desire to give, it expression
in your presentment, I would, with
great deference, suggest a measure which I
think will affjrd the protection demanded.
Let the Legislature enact as follows :
"That in addition to the oath of office now
required, each officer before he euters.upon
the duties of his office, shall take and sub-;
scribe an oath that since the ratification of|
this Act he has not done any act which
wouljjl disqualify him from holding office under
the provision of Article 1,. Section 32, of
the Constitution of this State ; and that he
will enforce the laws against duelling to the '
best of his ability in every instance of their
violation, which may come to his knowledge,
and employ all legal measures in his power
to prevent such offences."
I am satisfied that no further legislation
would be necessary if these or similar provisions
were enacted.
If, however, it is not the will of the peo
pie that these laws should be enforced, then
they should be expunged from the Constitution
and obliterated from the Statute book.
And we shall stand before the world as a people
having the courage of our convictions,
however extraordinary or anomalous. If the
duel is to be tolerated at all, it is due to our
people that it shall be openly legalized and
regulated under the law, and the Code of
Honor, so called, spread upon the Statute
book. Our people would then no longer be
subjected to the demoralizing influences consequent
upon habitual deficiencies of the most
solemn provisions of the law; a condition of
things which tends to bring all law into contempt,
and amounts to a confession of weakness
wholly unworthy of the people of South
Caroliua.
*? ' 1 -i -i ? ?A
ir tne nuei wore inus MtucuuuL-u uj mc
law and this form of homicide legalized, we
would at least comprehend the necessity of
training our sons from infancy to the skillful
use of the pistol, reverse our ethical system
and omit from the Lord's prayer so much as
"doth teach us of the deeds of mercy."
Gentlemen, I make no apology for detaining
you so Ion". The subject is one of vital
importance t< the State. The victim of the
duel is often ' ikeu from the brightest of our
jewels, the nci est aid truest of her sons.
A people wh.) tolerate such sacrifices will
not be held guiltless, either in the just judgment
of enlightened nations, or at the bar of
the Supreme Ruler of the universe.
Charleston Girls in 1733.?A petition
was addressed, in "733, to the Governor of
South Carolina, by sixteen maidens of Charleston,
which ran thus : "The humble petition of
all the maids whose names are underwritten :
Whereas, we, the humble petitioners, are at
present in a very melancholy disposition of
mind, considering how all the bachelors are
blindly captivated by widows, and our own
youthful charms thereby neglected ; iu consequence
of this, our request is that your Excellency
will, for the future, order that no
widow presume to marry any young man until
the maids are. provided for; or else to pay
each of them a fine for satisfaction for invading
our liberties ; and likewise a fine to be
levied on all such bachelors as shall be married
to widows. The great disadvantage it is
to us maids is that the widows, by their forward
carriage, do snap up the young men,
and have the vanity to think their merit be
yond ours, which is a great imposition on us,
who ought to have the preference. This is
humbly recommended to your Excellency's
consideration, and hope you will permit no
further insults. And we poor imuas, in duty
bound, will ever pray." The forlorn sixteen
would have vt y much approved the edict of
the Portuguese King, which forhade widows
above the age of fifty from re-marrying on
the ground that experience taught that widows
of that age commonly wedded young men
of property, who dissipated the fortunes marriages
brought them to the prejudice of chil
dreu and other relatives.? Chambers' Journal. \
Cost of Picking Cotton.?Some of the
papers have expressed surprise at the estimate
made by a correspondent of Bradstreet's,
that it costs $40,000,000 to pick the cotton
crop; but as that estimate was made on the
basis of fifty cents per 100 pounds for picking,
and as fully eighty cents is the prevailing rate
in Texas, whil; as high as $1.25 has been
paid this year, it is probable that 850,000,000
would better represent the cost of picking out
the cotton of the United States. Of this
amount probably $30,000,000 is paid to colored
men. The cost of picking has been
higher this year than usual. We see iu an
exchange that there were recently received at
Columbus, Ga., two bales of cotton which
were ginned and packed in 1857. The bagging
and rope were in good order. The cotton
was sold and brought uiue cents per pound
for one and ten cents for the other.

SAFETY TO LIFE AND PROPERTY.
THE NON-EXPLOSIVE OIL CAN.
rilflE object of this invention is to keep the
J. flame from getting into the can, and thereby
prevent the many accidents that occur almost
daily by the explosion of the common Coal Oil
Cans, now in use. Rufns S. Merrill, of Boston, 1
having recently declared, in an address before
the American (jhemical Society, that between 5000
and 0000 people perished in this country last year,
victims of kerosine oil accidents.
Reasons for using Bennett's Patent Oil Can:
1. It is non-explosive and can be used with absolute
safety to pour a stream of oil upon a burning
fire, hence cannot explode when filling a
burning lamp or used in kindling fires.
2. It is more cleanly than the ordinary can, as
mere is no unp iruui tiio spuui, mc mum w v?itv
allowing the spout lo be inserted in the lamp hefore
the flow of oil is started, and stopped before
the spout is removed.
3. It saves time and trouble of unscrewing and
screwing on tops, removing and replacing stoppers
every time the can is used.
4. It can be carried in a wagon or buggy, and
will not spill by jolting.
5. Being self-closing, requires no stopper on
the spont.
6. It is the most economical, because it is at all
times (when not in the act of pouring) air tight,
thereby preventing loss of oil by evaporation and
saving the cost of the can the firstyear.
7. It is the cheapest in the end, being made by
experienced workmen, of the best Charcoal Tin
and best materials throughout. For sale by
