further payments. When he callec
his witnesses to the stand and ques
tioned them very confidently, nearly
all the evidence they gave was direct
ly contrary to his views of the case.
He called upseveral prominenH&w-
yers to prove that the title deeds were
not goed, but they all swore that they
believed the titles were perfectly good.
The old gentleman was quits taken
aback by the unexpected answers to
his questions, and his repeated fail
ures to elicit anything favorable to
bis side of the ease. At one time he
said to his Honor, Judge Fraser:
“The witness is determined to deny
everj’thing he said and done.” He
asked another witness the question:
“Is it the way with you, that it is not
convenient to remember anything?
Is that the way?” The witness re
plied that he always testified to what
he believed to be correct. “Y*es,”
said the self-constituted attorney,
‘but then you do not testify to facts;
you evade the facts.’ Do you ac
knowledge the facts or do you substi
tute something for the facts.’ ”
Finally the old gentleman gave up
in dispair, and turning to the Judge
said: “It is useless in me asking
questions, I can’t get truthful answers
from anybody.”
The case having been decided
against him. He said, “Your Honor
what will i now have to do?” to
which Judge Fraser replied; “
wiil have to pay up that bond.”
obi gentleman then desired the Judge
to instruct him how to make an ap
peal, but Judge Fraser, who had borne
with him very patiently, told him
that if he wanted to appeal from his
decision, he must get some one else
to help him. He left Court a sadder
if not a wiser man.

The
THE GOOD TEMPLARS.
Secoml Week of Civil Court,
The case tried on Monday was John
P. Lorenz vs. George W. Turner, ac
tion to recover certain amounts for
which it was claimed, the defendant
was liable as partner to plaintiff. The
referee hud found for the defendant
and the case came up on his report.
Argument consumed the entire day
and the Court reserved the decision,
Croft ami Dunlap and O. C. Jordan
for plaintiff, Henderson Bro’s. for
defendant.
On Tuesday the case of C. K. Hen
derson vs. Joel Bradley et al. was
tried, Henderson Bro’s. for plaintiff
and VV. T. Gary for defendant. Decree
for foreclosure for plaintiff.
Wednesday and Thursday, was oc
cupied with "the trial of the very im
portant case of H. C. Brabhan, admin-
istror vs. Jas. E. Crosland et al. This
case involved important questions of
Confederate investments, etc. At the
close of the testimony it was determin
ed not to argue the case then, but before
Judge Fraser in Columbia in June.
Croft and Dunlap and P. A. Emanual
represented the plaintiff, and Hen
derson Bro’s. and Hon. J. J. Maher
the defendant. After the testimony
was taken in the Crosland ease, the
Court heard arguments for a new
trial in the case of T. O. Brywn vs. S.
C. Railroad Co., and set aside the ver
dict of $400 which the jury had given
the plaintiff and ordered a new trial.
During the week a large number of
orders and judgments by default were
taken which are not of sufficient inter
est to the general public to warrant
the publication.
After nearly three weeks of busy
work, Judge Fraser left for home on
Thursday evening, leaving behind
him a good impression on all sides.
A Most Heartrending Accident.
On Tuesday last between the hours
of twelve and one o’clock in the day,
a most heartrending accident befell
little Oliie, the five year old son of
Mr. O. C. Jordan, which resulted
after much suffering in death.. It ap
pears that in an out-house on the
premises of Mr. Jordan were stored in
a barrel, some hundred or more paper
shells of a highly explosive character,
the relicts of a shooting match, which
had taken place many months ago.
Little Oilie while engaged in playing
with some companions, dropped his
rubber ball into the barrel upon which
hejumpted in to recover his property,
when the entire contents of the barrel
exploded, tearing up the soles of his
feet, frightfully lacerating his legs and
burning his face. Notwithstanding
the severe nature of his wounds, he
made his way to the dwelling unas
sisted and in a perfect state of con
sciousness. Dr. T. G. Croft the family
physician was sent for, and Drs. Ged-
diugs and B. F. Wyman were called
in and every effort made to save the
little sufferer, but lie died at lOo’cloek
that night, it is supposed from the
shock and internal injuries, as the
external injuries were not considered
sufficient to have produced death.
This very sad accident has enlisted
the sympathies of the entire commu
nity in behalf of the afflicted parents.
The little boj* was an uncommonly
bright and interesting child, and his
frank manner and winsome ways won
the love of all who came in contact
with him.
The funeral services were performed
atG o’clock on Wednesday afternoon,
before a very large congregation of
sympathizing friends, by the Rev.
Lucius Cuthbert, at the Aiken Baptist
Church.
The heart of our entire community
goes out to the bereaved parents in
this dark hour of a most u<
calamity.
Fourteenth Annual Convention of the
Grand Lodge. — An Encouraging
Outlook for tho Temperance Cause
in South Carolina.
Correspondence of the News nnd Conricr,
Piedmont, April 20.—The Grand
Lodge of Good Templars met here in
its fourteenth annual session yester
day morning with the following of
ficers :
Rev. H. G. Chreitzberg, Sumter,
Grand Chief Templar; Col. James
McCoIlough, Greenville. G. W. G.;
Miss Laura Cash, Pelzer, G. \V. Y T . T.;
H. H. Anderson, Spartanburg, G. W.
S.; W. F. Rhanie, Sumter, G. A. S.;
W. H. Cuttino, Sumter, G. W. T.; W.
J. Snider, Orangeburg, G. W. Chap
lain; H. R. Mosely, Greenville, G. W.
M.; Mrs. M. A. Dixon, Charleston,
G. D. INI.; T. F. Caliaham, Anderson,
G. I. G.; J. L. Simpson, Laurens, G.
O. G.; J. A. McCullough, Greenville,
G. Messenger; Col.T. B.Crews, Laur
ens, P. G. \V. C. T.
About thirty subordinate lodgers
were represented by sixty-five dele
gates and visitors. Mr. A. C. McGee,
in behalf of the Piedmont Lodge,
extended a warm welcome to the
Grand Lodge.
The Grand Chief Templar’s report
was read in the evening session, and
contained a full and complete state
ment of the condition and needs of
the Order in this state. The reports
of delegates, which followed, devel
oped two facts: First, that the mem
bership in this State is not as large
as It was one year ago, and secondly,
that the lodges are in better condition
than at that time, not so much in
point of numbers as in unity and earn
estness of purpose.
The main event of the day was the
welcome meeting, held in the evening
in the church. It was presided over by
Mr. S. F. Towbridge, and every avail
able inch of the building was packed
to its utmost capacity by an eager au
dience.
The address of welcome, in behalf
of the town was delived by Col. H. P.
Hammett, president of the factory.
His speech was a master-piece, and to
say that the Grand Lodge Lodge was
charmed and delighted would feebly
express the sentiment of that body.
After telling of the evils of drunk
enness and the great wrong to hu
manity resulting from the liquor traf
fic, and putting the blame where it
properly belongs—upon the liquor
seller, and upon the laws which made
his business legal—he told his au
dience of Piedmomt—bright, smiling,
happy, prosperous, sober Piedmont—
a town of fifteen hundred souls,
where, in its ten years of existence, not
one drop of whiskey has ever been
sold, in which there is not a solitary
drunkard, and where a violation of
the rules of sobriety is inexorably
punished. Col. Hammett’s address
made a profound impression upon the
Good Templars, who had before their
eyes so bright an example of the success
of prohibition in the town of Peid-
mont.
Grand Templar Chreitzberg re
sponded to Col. Hammett’s address in
an eloquent and impressive speech.
The Rev. C. L. Stewart made an
address of welcome in behalf of the
churches, und Mr. A. S. Powell in be
half of the secret societies, and the
rcspotiscs were made by the Rev. J.
W. Sinclerand \V. H. Cuttino respec
tively. The Piedmont Brass Band
and the church choir furnished music.
The meeting was altogether enjoyable
and was the best, taken all in all, that
the Grand Lodge has ever exper
ienced.
Robbery and House Burning.
Edgefield Monitor, April 30th.
The dwelling house of Mr. Benja
min Cato, four miles from Ridge
Spring, was burned about 3 o’clock p.
in., on Sunday last, together with its
entire contents. The family was ab
sent at the time, and there is suffi
cient evidence to warrant the conclu
sion that the house was first robbed
and then set on fire. There was some
two hundred dollars or more in gold
and silver in a shot-bag in the war
drobe, and in another place and more
secluded there was about forty dollars
in gold and silver. It is believed the
larger amount was found and taken,
as only a small amount of melted
metal could be found. Two silver
watches were also in the house—one
banging over the mantlepiece, the
other in a box in another room. The
melted cases of the latter were found
but nt> trace of the former. Mr. Cato
was on a hot trail of the suspected
parties on Monday, and we hope be
fore going to press to be able to chron
icle their capture. All of Mr. Cato’s
notes and accounts, and also the books
and accounts of his son, Doc, who is
engaged in the turpentine business
nearby, were destroyed. The loss is
fully $2,000, with no insurance.
Later.—Town officer Creed arrest
ed a negro this (Wednesday) morning
on suspicion of being one of the par
ties implicated in the burning and
robbery. He thinks he has the right
man.
Clearer Prospects of Peace.
London, May 3.—The News, in a
leading editorial to-day, says that the
prospects for peace have been much
clearer and more amply confirmed
within the last forty-eight hours. A
Russian dispatch, conciliatory iu tone
and substance, was sent to the Govern
ment by telegraph after the Czar had
conferred with his ministers, and a
courier with the oflicial written reply
to Earl Granville is now on his way
to London. The News warns its read
ers, however, against hasty conclu
sions that peace is assured.
Earl Granville and the Duke of
Cambridge, at the Royal Academy
banquet, spoke hopefully of a peace
ful settlement of the difficulties. Earl
Granville had an extended conference
with her Majesty, the Queen, on
Sunday.
Saloons North ami South.
St. Louis Republican.
Governor St. John, since his return
from the South, confesses that the
temperance work is further advanced
in the South than in the North. Mis
sissippi has 930 saloons; Minnesota,
with about the same population has
over 3,000 saloons; Arkansas has 1,334
saloons; California, with about the
same population has 9,369 saloons.
Old Bourbon Kentuckey has 4,461 sa
loons, and Ohio 15,390. Startling as
this statement may be in proportion
to the population, tlie North has twice
as many saloons as the South. And
yet the Soutli is Democratic and the
North is Republican and striving to
be prohibition also.
Cummunion Wine.
Mr. Alfred Speer the celebrated
wine grower of New Jersey preserves
the unfirmented Juice of the grape
for Sacramental use. It hhs been
adopted, and it uses sactioned by the
prominent devines of this country,
tt is also used by Invalids with re
markable effect.
