TOWN AKD COUNTY HEWS. ' T. D. KENNEDY, Local Editor. S COTTON STATEMENT. The following is a statement of the number of bales of cotton shipped from this place from September 1, 1874, to April 1,1875: Total shipped up to Dec. 31, 1874, - 8986 January, ------- 1745 February^? - ? - - - - - 1107 March, \ - - - - ? 782 Total up to April 1, 1875, ? - - 12620 We are indebted for this information to Mr. J. P.eese Fant, the courteous and competent cotton weigher at this place. THE CIRCUIT COURT. The Circuit Court continued its session until Friday morning last, at which time it adjourn? ed over to the regular term in May next. All the criminal business on the docket was dis? posed of in short order, and ample punishment .meted out to the unfortunate offenders against the law. On Wednesday morning, the case of the State vs. Nathan Jenkins for perjury was tried, and the accused found not guilty, on the ground that the-Trial- Justice who first tried him on a ?charge of larceny, did not have jurisdiction, as the amount of the property stolen was' more than^twenty dollars, and that hecommlttedtbe perjury" (if any) unknowingly. The Judge cautioned the Trial Justices to be more careful aWt?i?ture; and to make^ out their warrants j in accordance with the facts of each case, in order to preveat ft multiplicity of trials. The case of the State-vs. Henry Seiger, for murder, was next called, and upon hearing the aflBdavit of the prisoner to the effect that lie feared an impartial triat would not be grant? ed him in this County, and.upon the affidavits, and on .motion of Messrs. Burt, Broyles and J?^.Muirayi his attorneys; an order for a change of venue to. .Greenville County was granted by the Cour^^nd it was further order? ed that the prisoner be forthwith conveyed to Greenville and placed in the custody of the Sheriff of that County, to await his trial, which will take place on Wednesday during the June term of the Court of General Sessions at GreenviUe Court House. The Judge notified aU Witnesses in the case to be present at Green? ville during the trial, as no further notice would be given them. The Constables who had been sent to Pickens on Tuesday touring James Walker before the Con.rtliaying arrived with the prisoner, he was immediately arraigned, and his trial proceeded ?with. .-- The remainder of the day was taken up with the selection of a suitable jury, and the examination of the witnesses on the part of | th*e State.' Oh Thursday the trial of Walker for murder was continued, and the morning employed with the examination of tho wit? nesses for the defence, and a few on the part of | the State in reply. The whole of the evidence went to show that the character of Walker -was good, while that of the deceased, Hiram Coch? ran, was of the worst grade, he having been ?considered a dangerous character, while Walk? er was quiet, inoffensive and orderly. It was clearly proven that the difficulty which led to the killing of Hiram Cochran occurred in the store of Mr. J. F?. Cochran, whither Walker (who had been to the blacksmith shop with some ploughs) went to purchase a box of paper coUars, and being insulted by Hiram, he left the store, and proceeded along Granite Row, in the direction of Capt. J. B. Moore's, where he lived. He was followed by Hiram, who stopped for a moment on the way to borrow a ?knife from a friend, and then continued the pursuit until he got in front of Walker on the sidewalk, and with one hand under his coat, he clutched at his throat, when Walker (knowing him to be a dangerous man) drew his knife, and dealt the fatal blow, acting (as he thought) in self-defence. The whole of the evening was occupied with the arguments of Messrs. Mc Gowan and Moore, counsel for tho accused, and of Solicitor Blythe on the part of the State, all of which were eloquent and able. After hearing Judge Cooke's clear and lucid explana? tion of the law in regard to tho different grades of homicide, and the extenuating circumstan? ces of the case as set forth in the evidence, the jury repaired to their room, and after some de? liberation, returned with a verdict of "Guilty of Manslaughter," but recommended the pris? oner to the mercy of tho Court. Before pass? ing sentence, the Judge made some well-timed remarks, saying that the Divine law is, "Whoso ?heddeth man's blood, by man also shall his blood be shed," but that human law, regarding the weakness and frailty of man's nature, has provided for certain cases where, through force of sudden heat and passion, one human being destroys the life of another, the punishment meted out to him is in accordance with tho do gree of the offence, and the motives which ac? tuate him to commit the crime. He warned the colored people against giving "hot suppers,' whether for gain or otherwise, and said that he believed these very suppers were the origin of j more difficulties and crimes than anything else. He told them that during his short pe? riod of two years on the Benoh, it had been his painful duty to preside at the trial Of six murderers, whose dark crimes were aU traceable to "hot suppers." He said it was the duty of all ministers of the Gospel among the colored people to endeavor to put a stop to this demoralizing custom, and if they did not succeed, to report the case or cases to the near? est Trial Justice, who would investigate the matter, and if sent up to this Court, rest as? sured they will get twelve months in the Peni? tentiary as vagrants. The prisoners having been brought into Court, tho J udge sentenced them as follows! James Walker, convicted of manslaughter, totwro years at hard labor in the Penitentiary with a proviso, however, that if at the expira? tion of one year his conduct was said to bo good, he would be recommended for pardon. Alexander Campbell, convicted of an assault sentenced to pay a fine of g 10 and costs, or be imprisoned in the County Jail for thirty days. Andy Spencer, convicted of an assault upon an officer. Sentenoed to confinement in tho County Jail for three months, and to work upon the streets during the day time. Charles Murray plead guilty to grand larce? ny. Sentenced to bo confined at hard labor in the Penitentiary for tho period of ton years. James Anderson and Andrew Thomas, con? victed of grand larceny. Sentenced to bo con? fined at hard labor in tho Penitentiary for tho period of ten years. Judge Cooke and Solicitor Blythe deserve much credit for the courteous and satisfactory manner in which they dispatched tho business of the Court at this term. The prisoners, James Walkor, Charles Mur? ray, James Anderson and Andrew Thomas were conveyed to the Hotel de Dennis, at Co? lumbia, by Deputy Sheriff McConnoll on Tuesday morning last. We are informed that a delicate and skillful surgical operation was performed on Monday last by Drs. Holland and Drvver, in which a large tumor (weighing nearly one pound) was taken from the side of Mrs. Hackett, who lives a.few miles above this place. BRIEF MENTION. Cotton is in good demand at 15 cents for mid? dlings. B. D. Dean, Esq? our worthy and efficient County Treasurer, has paid out for school claims tho sum of ?7,200. Mr. Samuel Smith, of Broadaway, caught a turtle weighing twenty pounds in Breazeale's mill pond on Saturday last, fhis is the first of the season. i ? , j Since the pleasant evenings set in buggy rides are becoming frequent and fashionable. Even editors derive much pleasure from this delightful species of recreation. James L; Orr, Esq., has moved into his hand? some residence near tho Presbyterian Church, and is at present engaged in improving and beautifying the premises. Owing to tho dullness of tho times, and the enervating tendency of tho weather, somo of our merchants have ordered "Dutch Jokers," with which to beguile the lonely hours. The temperance society at this place is stead? ily on the increase. Six new members were received into the ordor on last Thursday even? ing, and many more are expected to join at tho next meeting.' Rain, rain, was the word during last week, and the farmers were moodily contemplating future prospects, but now the Spring-time has begun in earnest, andwith it has come sun? shine and fair weather. Mr. Simeon Smith, an aged and highly re? spectable citizen of this County, died at his res? idence near Equality P. O. last week. Ee was in the 92nd year of his age, and was character? ized by many good qualities. We are glad to observe that a new plank fence has been constructed around the Presby? terian Church lot. The horse-swappers who were here on Monday lasf, were very much chagrined because they could not get in. We learn that the "Harmonia Club" iatend "furnishing the music for the performances of J tt^'Anderson Theatrical Company" on Thurs? day and Friday nights next. This Club is too well known.to the citizens of Anderson to need comment. All who desire a pleasant time and good music would do well to visit the Masonic Hall on the above nights. ' Monday last (Saleday) was unusually quiet, there being but few persons in town. A few tracts of valuable land were sold at reasonable rates, and the remainder of the day was taken up with an auction at the "Red Sign Store.'' The old custom of horse-swapping has been j abandoned since the grass began to grow, and will not be resumed before the fall. I We learn that tho railroad hands between Belton and this place are accustomed to run their hand-cars off tho track, and across the public roads which intersect the track, thereby causing obstructions, and preventing the pass? age of vehicles over the road. There are better places to put hand-cars than on market roads, and the Section Master should put a stop to this custom at once. At tho last regular meeting of the Anderson Medical Society, the following delegates were elected to attend tho State Medical Association, which meets in the city of Charleston on Tuesday next, April 13th : Drs. W. H. Nardin, R. F. Divver and M. C. Parker. Alternate? Dr. M. L. Sharpo. The next regular meoting of the Society will take place on the 4th Satur? day in April, at which timo officers will be elected. Among the novelties of the season, we notice a new style of summer fan, which is called the pistolet. It is a fan, when open, with a curved handle, and it is a pistol when elosed, worn by? passing through a slide in the belt. Pulling the trigger opens the toy with a movement which is both startling and amusing. It en? chants young ladies, and transfixes the beaux. This improvement on the fan can be seen by caUing at the Ladies' Store. Wo are sorry to learn that the Rev. Robert King, so well and widely known throughout this County on account of his many good qual? ities and his indefatigable labors in the minis? try, met with a severe accident last week, which threatens his life. He was thrown from a wag? on, and fell on his head and shoulder, thereby sustaining serious injuries. Wo hope, how? ever, that his injuries may prove to be of a light character, and that ho will soon be re? stored to strength again. The funeral of Mrs. Theodosia D. Brook, on Thursday last, was attended by a vast number of our citizens, who repaired to the Baptist Church to pay the last sad tribute to the mem? ory of the beloved dooeased. Tho pall bearers on the occasion were the attendants at the bridal, little more than a year ago. Tho funer? al services were conducted by tho Rev. J. S. Murray in a solemn and impressive manner, after which the remains were carried to the cemetery near by, and consigned to the silent repose of the tomb. The stores were closed during the funeral, out of respect to the memo? ry of tho deceased. j Thursday last (April 1st) was All Fool's Day, j and many advantages were takon of the occa I sion to perpetrate good jokes. Quite a number I of the unsophisticated were what is termed "badly sold," but they pocketed their discom? fitures without a murmur, and joined in the search for new victims. Somebody was sent to the Depot after a telegram, but did not hap? pen to return through the square. He had bus? iness in another portion of town. Wo would have gotten up a "big snake" stor}r for the oc? casion, but our folks are too sensiblo for that, j Such a thing might do in Greenville, but it wouldn't take hero. I In order to show the exorbitancy of the ratos ! of freight charged by the Greenville it Colum? bia Railroad, over that of other roads, we give the following illustration. One of our largest and most reliable mercantile firms, ordered some weeks ago four barrels of molasses, which wero shipped by freight from Wilming? ton, N. C, ovor tho Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad to Columbia, S. C, for $3.52, and from Columbia to this place over the G. & C. R. R., a much shorter distance, ?13.10 (near? ly four times as much) was charged. This is ahead of anything that wo have ovor heard in relation to exorbitant freight charges, and wo trust tho G. & C. R. R. Co. will investigate this mattor so important to public intcrasts, and endeavor to modify their charges somewhat, j Since tho passage of the civil rights bill, many usos have boon made by the colored clement of the privileges which it allows, but never before have wo hoard of its being constructed to apply in the following way: A gentleman coming into town with a load of wood one day last week, was accosted as follows by a notorious colored character who resides in town: Sambo ?"Dat wood for sale, sah?" Whito man? "Yes, do you want to purchase?" Sambo? "Yes, sab; drive it round to my house, and I'll hand you tho change to-morrow or next day." Whito man?"I don't do that sort of I business." Sambo?"Don't you credit white j men?" White man?"Of course." Sambo?I "Well, now look hero, de swivel rights bill am done passod, and John Cochrum is oomin' dis 1 ovenin' wid do law on do subject, and if you don't lot me had dat wood on a credit, I'm gwine to hab you indicted." Ho didn't get tho I wood, however. J GRAND OPENING. According to announcement, tho annual grand opening at the Ladies' Store took place on Thursday last, consisting of the largest and finest display of the different styles and varie? ties of ladies' Spring dress goods, hats, trimmed in the latest and most approved styles, ribbons, laces, gloves, handkerchiefs, fan?, and last, but not least, beautiful creations of woman's ge? nius, in the shapo of artificial ilowers, of every hue and name, from the simple hyacinthe to the beautiful, blushing rose, destined to grace the brow of some lady fair, and lend a charm to her appearance. Despite the cloudy sky overhead, the Store was thronged from early morn until twilight with the lair ladies of our town, as well as with those from a distance, who remembered tho many attractions at the grand opening of October last. All were de? lighted at tho handsome appearance presented by the beauties which surrounded thein, and pleased with the kindness of Mrs. C. C. Pegg, tho accomplished proprietress. Every article was arranged with much precision and care. DirectPy in front was suspended the crowning beauty of the scene?a large cone of artificial flowors, tastefully arranged and interspersed with vines, lea"> 98 and grasses in green, making a lovely contrast with the golden, red, blue, white and other colored imitations of earth's brightest offering. On either side of this, oth? er cones hung down from the ceiling, upon which had been placed in decorative order, silken scarfs, gloves, and other novelties too numerous to mention. The walls behind the counters wero festooned with fringe, laco, illu? sions, etc., and the counters were packed with all the different kinds of dress goods, while the Spring parasols, hats and fans hung around promiscuousl}'. In fact, everything to excite the vanity or please the fancy of the most fas? tidious lady could be found within the walls of this fashionable establishment. HONE A PATH D?TTINGS. Mr. King, Section Master, is about comple? ting a new Turn Out at Honca Path. A Lodge of the Independent Order Good Templars was organized at this place a short time since. There is a prospect of much good being accomplished by the order. Henry Shockley, (colored,) caught a few days ago "borrowing" cotton seed without having asked the owners if ho amid get them, was arrested on a warrant issued by Trial Jus? tice Wilkes. No trial. The matter amicably adjusted between the parties. The Guanos sold this year will exceed last year very considerably, and perhaps equal the sales of 1873. The first rainbow of the new year made its appearance on Friday evening last, and was hailed with joy as a fore-runner of fair weather. It arched across the heavens from north to south, and its many colors, lighted up by tho last rays of the setting sun, cast a glow of beauty over the village and the earth beneath that will long be remembered. Extra Early and Prolific Cotton. THIS Cotton, planted and improved by me for the past three years, has no equal in foint of early maturity and productiveness, gathered a bale of this Cotton the past season four months to a day from time of planting. The seed from nine stalks, one and three quar? ters pounds, planted on thin land, yielded in three years nine heavy bales, proving conclu? sively that it is the most productive cotton grow'n. Tho staple is very fine, and the seed are very small. It is peculiarly adapted to thin gray soils. Seed may be procured from Towers <fc Broyles, or from C. A. Peed, Ander? son, or from the subscriber at Lowndcsvillo. Price??2.00 per bushel. L. C. MAULDIN. April 8, 1875 38 2 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, A NDERSON CO UNT Y. By W. IF.
