E. B. MURRAY, Editor? THUESDAY, JULY 9, 1885. TB RMS: ONE Y3AK.^ -m..?1.00. 8IX MONTHS.?. 7?c. Two Dollars If not paid In advance. It is announced that iu a few days the Palmetto Yeoman will be changed into a morning paper, in which Mr. H. N. Emlyn will be one of the proprietors. It will be ably edited and conducted as a first class Newspaper. We wish the enterprise much success. In securing the editorial services of Hon. J. ?. Boggs, the Bickens Sentinel has one of the most progressive, upright and able young men in the State at its head. Candid, straightforward and earnest, he will continue the influence which the Sentinel has exerted, and do valuable service for hits county and bis State; There will- be no uncertainty about the position of the Sentinel, and no unfairness will characterize it while Mr. Boggs guides its course. We understand that the friends, of 1 Hon. C. Richardson Miles, of.Cbarleston, will present his name for renomination to the position of Attorney General for this State when the Democratic nominat? ing convention meets next yean Col. Miles is an able and learned lawyer, a cultured and thoroughly conscientious gentleman and an uncompromising loyal Democrat. He has filled the position of J Attorney General for the past four years with distinguished ability, and will doubtless have many warm and enthusi? astic supporters for re-election. THIS CUBE WOBS& THAN THE EVIL. In an article, headed "The Law's Delay," the News and Courier says: "In the North American Review for April, 1885, Chief Justice Hargis dis? cusses this well-worn topic. The article itself is mainly an animadversion ,- a repetition of the* reproaches and charges which are daily made and repeated. The.causesof.lhe law's delay, he says, are demagogism, untaught and selfish legislators, lobbying^ a poor judiciary, corrupt and ignorant jurymen, the bulk and, therefore, the uncertainty of the law. All this may be so, but the evils Judge Hargis names are evils to be cor? rected. ! The legitimate conclusion, from his point of view, is that the law's delay is an inevitable evil, like original sin, that can only be cured when the body politic is itself thoroughly purified and . made regenerate. * * * * "Assuming uncertainty to he an inevi? table evil, how can the delay resulting therefrom be practically reduced to a minimum? The evident answer is: first, by having questions finally decided as speedily as possible. When the first heat of a controversy is in the minds of 1 the parties they are best prepared to go to trial, and the more speedy the decision the sooner are the ill feelings consequent on litigation buried- and forgotten. When a cause once takes the form of a lawsuit, and drags its slow length along, it gets cold, as it were. Both the parties ana their attorneys dislike to take it up, and to prepare, time and time again, for trial, only to encounter a postponement, until the heartsick litigant cannot can? not contain his reproaches for the Maw's delay/. "As it now stands iu this State, in a majority of the counties the,re are but two terms in the year at which civil jury cases can be tried. As a practical fact, every lawyer knows that a case can be and is continued by one side or the other at the first term; but the clients have to be prepared lest, by some mishap, they should be forced to. trial. Indeed, out of the average of civil cases in the State the great mass never come to trial until they have been in litigation for over a year. Meanwhile, both attorney and client on one side or the other have had to prepare and re-prepare until the client, at least, becomes sick of the whole thing. Then comes the appeal. There is a delay of six months before the case is heard by the Supreme Court of the State, and then of three or four months more before the Court decides. In the case of the.Bnited States Supreme Court, it is from three to four years from the time of an appeal before the appeal can be heard. "The remedy, so far as the mere ma? chinery of justice is concerned, is to have more terms of Court. For this in South Carolina an increase in the num? ber of Judges, and a large increase, is necessary. Inasmuch as jurors dislike to be dragged from their work to try cases, the class of civil causes requiring juries should be reduced. There is not the slightest reason why the large class of civil cases not involving fraud should not be tried by one or more Judges with? out a jury; and certainly the absurd and illogical rule that creates so many mistrials and delays, viz., that there shall be the unanimous concurrence of the jury, should be abolished in civil cases and a majority be allowed to control. - Continuances should be more rarely allowed. Let it be an understood thing that a cause will be tried at the first term, save upon the strongest kind of showing; and enforce a penalty for de lay, although both parties be willing. "The Supreme Court must sit of'tener, and if the Court as it stands would be overworked there is necessary such an increase in the n imber of Judges, such a change in the l?rm, as will allow di . visions of the Court to decide ultimately on different classes of cases. And fur? thermore ther; needs to be a change in the methods ri the bar. ? * * *. * If our contemporary had attended the Courts and watched the administration of justice in this Stale with that close? ness with which a practicing attorney is compelled to do, wc imagine that differ? ent impressions would have been made upon it in reference to judicial proceed? ings in (his State. If we had eight Circuit Judges like Judge Pressley aud others now upon the bench?learned in the law, diligent in work and ready in deciding?there would be nocomplaintof | crowded dockets in South Carolina. TI.e trouble comes from the fact that there are one or two Judges who hare neither the physical nor mental calibre to dis? charge the duties of their office, and hence they hold short sessions aud do little work, leaving crowded dockets and dissatisfied litigants. The law now provides for speedy trial, aud no jury case can be continued beyond the first term unless the party moving for a con? tinuance shall submit an affidavit that a material witness is absent, that he cannot go safely to trial without such witness, and that he has used due diligence to procure the attendance of such witness. To force a cose to trial under these cir? cumstances would defeat instead of{ hastening justice. Neither would it be wise to abolish the right of appeal upon matters of law, for that would place the lights of parties at the caprice of au unprincipled or weak Judge, and thereby bring the administration or justice into contempt. Nor should the Supreme Court be iucreased with a view of per? mitting divisions of the Court to pass on different classes of cases, tt is a small portion of causes that are appealed, and though our present Court has been hard worked, yet we have it from the best of authority that the work is grow? ing lighter, and the Court does not desire an increase in its membSrsip, as they do not think such increase would add to the efficiency of our system. The greatest objection which we have, however, to the views of o?r contempo? rary, is to that portion in which it advo? cates the abolition of tbe right to trial by jury in all civil cases, except those involving fraud, and the substitution of a trial by one or more Judges. The sub? ject of fraud is one of equity jurisdiction, and though tbe verdict of a juryman be resorted to for the determination of specific facts, the verdict is only to en? lighten the conscience of the Court and does not bind the Court; therefore in abolishing jury trial in all cases except fraud, the News and Courier would prac? tically abolish jury trials in all civil cases. But this change would not relieve of the necessity of summoning a jury, for they would have to be present to try questions of fraud, and the greater part ? of the expense would still be incurred. We are old fogy enough to favor the | jury system, tt takes men from the vicinage, who know the character of the witnesses, and who can judge more cor? rectly and justly between them than one or two Judges could do. The unanimous verdict is right, to prevent passion or prejudice from sometimes getting control of the Jury? To permit a Judge to de? cide questions of fact would cause the Supreme Court to have jurisdiction of appeals upon tho facts, or place the rights of litigants absolutely in the hands of one man. This would be too much power. It would Inevitably lead to corruption and oppression. We want as little one-man's power in this country as we can have, and instead of abolish? ing the jury system, we favor elevating and improving it by having the law properly enforced and the juries taken from the best men of the country. The law's delays are vexatious and expensive, but they are better than a sysfem which would place the country practically under a one man power. A FftOPER DETERMINATION". The press for some time past, upon both sides of the Atlantic, has beeu in* dulging in predictions as to tbe probable result of Mr. Keilly's appointment to the Austrian Mission, after his withdraw? al from the Italian Mission. It has been frequently stated in a semi-official man? ner that the Austrian government would not receive Mr. Keilly because it was not complimentary to have assigned him there after he had been withdrawn upon objection from the Italian Mission, and for the further reason that he cannot be received because his wife is a Jewess, and, ?s such, not eligible for presentation at the Austrian Court. The matter has been settled by President Cleveland, and Mr. Keilly will either go to Austria or that country will have no Minister from the United States. There is no reason in tbe first objection that it is uncompli? mentary to send a Minister to one coun? try who has been rejected by another, as is shown in the career of Mr. Sargeant, who was appointed Minister to Spain and rejected by tbat government, after which he was appointed to Germany, and served for some time, until personal disagreements with Bismarck led to his appointment to Russia, where he was serving in the first diplomatic position of this government when President Cleve? land was elected. Surely Austria can afford to receive a Minister who has been rejected by Italy if Germany and Russia could afford to take one who bad been rejected by Spain. The first objection by the Austrian government is nugatory, ander the precedents which leaves the correctness of Presideut Cleveland's determination dependent upon tbe second objection, which is that Mr. Keilly's wife is a Jewess and cannot be received at tbe Austrian Court. If this is a fact, and had been known by the Administra? tion in advance of the appointment, no doubt the President would have selected a Minister not so situated as to incur this objection, but having been appointed the United States cannot with self-respect recede from the appointment. It is the cardinal point in our theory of Govern? ment that all of our citizens are equal, and as such that they are eligible for such honors as our government may bestow. There are no distinctions under our laws between native-born citizeus of ary origin, and but one between native and adopted citizens, and that distinction is made by tbe Constitution, wbicb makes the adopted citizen ineligiblexfor the office of President. Therefore, if Mr. Keilly were himself a Jew he would be eligible for the Missiou to Austria, and when appointed he is tbe representative of the United States. It is not a right which we can recognize for foreign gov? ernments to select our representatives for us, or to determine their qualifications. They might as well object to a man because be believes in the doctrine of republicau government while they adhere to monarchy, or to object to him because he is a Protestant while they are Catho? lics, or because he is au adopted citizen of the United Stales while their laws forbid expatriation, as to object that a man is a Jew because they do not like Jews. The United States cannot recog? nize such distinctions as to its citizenship, much low can they recoguize it where the distinction is attempted to be applied to tbe wife of a citizen. President Cleve? land has therefore, we think, very prop? erly determined tbat Austria shall not be permitted to classify Americau citi? zens. It is the only diguificd position be could have taken, and shows that the new Administration intends to make this government and its citizens thoroughly respected abroad. The United Slates has of late bceu so subservient to the whims of foreign governments that they natui ally have become supercilious in dealing with us, and we are glad to see tbat an American policy has been restored which will maintain the honor and indepen? dence of our goverument ?

Mr. Editor: Please adnouncein your next issue that the age for admission to West Point is between seventeen and twenty-two. Having passed the exam? ination on arrival at West Point, the candidate is admitted, add the following July again eaamined to secure a warrant as Cadet. He is then required to sign articles binding himself to serve the United States for eight years from the date of his admissiou, unless sooner dis? charged. The Cadet defrays his own expenses until admitted. Then the Government pays all expenses, Congress appropriating annually $640 for the ex? penses of such cadet. At the end of four years, if he graduates, he may, at the option of the Government, be dis? charged with $540 in his pocket to begin life upon. Very truly, D. Wyatt Aikek. THE JOINT SUMMER MEETING. President Duncan Explains Abont the Passes, What they are for and How Ob? tained. Columbia, S. C, July 1, 1885. To the Editor of the Nexos.and Courier; As there seems to be some misunderstand? ing about the arrangement for the joint Summer meeting, I ask to make the fol? lowing explanation, which I would like to get before our farmers before Monday next, and through your columns is the most available source. I am daily in receipt of letters asking if the passes obtained are to include the Grangers, or if the same courtesy will not be extended to the members of the Grange as I have obtained for members of the Agricultural Society ? Last February I had the pleasure of attending the spring meeting of the Georgia Agricultural Society, held in the city of Brunswick. I found in attend? ance some 225 delegates. These dele? gates, three from each agricultural socie? ty, had transportation furnished by the railroads. 1 compared this meeting with our last meeting, held in the city of Greenviile, S. C, where, outside of the immediate Piedmont section, there was not two dozen delegates present. Furthermore I was very favorably im? pressed with the fact that our meetings were growing into seemingly more favor with our political friends than with our I farmers, and that in a measure they were failiug in their intended mission. So after learning how the free transportation plan had built up the Georgia meeting.", how it had been the means of organiz? ing agricultural societies where none before existed, I determined to make an effort to obtain the same privilege for our farmers, and with that view opened a correspondence with some personal railroad friends. Mainly through the assistance of Mr. Sol. Haas, traffic man? ager of the associate lines of Virginia and the Carolinas, I obtained the con? sent of all roads in the State to transport three delegates from each County to the Bennettsville meeting. I am asked why I did not ask for three passes for each society. In the first place I was fearful of asking for so many passes, and, in fact, at the time I was I only thinking of building up the State Agricultural Society, fori was well aware I that the Grange was most ably presided over by the present Master, and that furthermore the subordinate Granges paid the expenses of their delegates to the Spring meeting, whilst our members paid their own expenses. I am also asked if in a county where there is no agricultural society the Grange of said County could use the passes. My ar? rangement is for passes for three delegates from any agricultural organization prop? er; no matter, then, if it is called an agricultural society, club or grange, so any County that has no agricultural society or club, but has a grange, will I most certainly be entitled to the passes, I and, I hope, will send the uames in due I time to the secretary. Now, one word more for fear I may be I misunderstood for a remark I made above I about our meetings being popular with the politicians. I hope they will contin? ue to attend ; we will be glad to see them I and to hear them talk. Many of them I talk much better than they plant, and practical farmers get some good ideas from their theories. But the first motive I have is to get a full delegation of all classes of our farmers that they may reap all the advantages possible to these meetings; after that we will be most I pleased to see any and all of our friends who are interested in the material pro I gress and prosperity of South Caroliua. 1 D. P. Duncan, President. Foremau's Fearful Fall. Several days ago the Constitution con? tained an account of the frightful fall of I young B. F. Foreman, of New Orleans, from a precipice at Tallulah Falls last I Friday. It was at first thought impossi? ble that he should recover, but now I there is hope that he may survive a fall which it seems impossible for any human being to have suffered without instant death. 1 Yesterday Dr. Willis F. Westmoreland returnei from Tallulah Falls, where he had been called to see young Foreman. The doctor say3 that his injuries are very severe, but are not necessarily fatal. His I right arm is broken and there are several bruises all over the head, face and body. A severe wound was made in one of the legs, which penetrated the bowels. The patient suffers severely, buf is perfectly conscious and relates the cir? cumstances of his accident. He was walking on the edge of one of the lofty precipices near Tallulah Falls, when a I stone turned and he was precipitated down. At every few feet of his frightful de? scent ho would strike a ledge of rock or a tree which would break the force of his fall but would not stop him. Thus be bad a succession of falls until be reached the bottom of a ravine nearly three hun? dred feet below the point from where he fell. At one place he had a perpendicu? lar fall of fully thirty feet. By the time he had reached the bottom of the ravine he was, of course, unconscious aud almost dead. For twenty-four hours be lay there while Inn family and friends were searching for him. The young man is a strong well formed fellow and may sur? vive an experience such probably as no living man ever had. He is a son of Judge Foreman, of New Orleans, and is a young man of fine promise. Hampton's Quiet Way. Washington, July 3.?Senator Hamp? ton in a quiet way is looking into the Charleston collectorship business. He called at the treasury department and carefully examined several papers on file in the case. When he had obtained the information he desired he proceeded to Secretary Manning's room, and was closeted with tho secretary for some lime. Your correspondent asked the senator if there were any new developments in the case. He replied that ho was endeavor? ing to obtain some information on that subject, but he would not give out any? thing he learned. When asked whom he considered the moat acceptable candidate, he said they were all good men, but he declined to say whom he would recom? mend if the President or the secretary should ask his advico on the subject. A new candidate, in the person of Mr. H. T. Williams, has entered the field, and I am informed that his papers were examined by Senator Hampton to day. Congressman Dihblo has not been here for over two weeks aud id not expected ? here soon. Tlie Florida Convention. Tallahasse, Fla., July 3.?The Con? stitutional Convention is about half through with its work-; The' time for the meeting of the Legislature is changed from January to April. All State and County officers are made eledtive instead Of appointive ?s at present. A bureau of agriculture will be established, tbe office of Adjutant-General abolished, and tbe Governor is authorized to remove incompetent officers under certain condi? tions. Many other changes are propos? ed. The constitution will not be submitted to the people till November, 188G, and all tbe present officials will hold to the end of their terms. Terriblei If True. Wilson, N. C, July 3.?Willie Sams, aged 6 years, son of a farmer living near here, to-day murdered his infant brother, aged 3 months. Tbe child had been given him to hold, and he went out in the sun with it. He had some time ago been taken to a child's funeral, and man? ifested great interest in its burial, which he did not seem to understand. He has frequently prattled about it recently, and asked many questions as to how the child was got into the coffin, and when it would come put. To-day, when he reached the grove, about three hundred yards from bis father's home, he took a small box, which he had previously carried to the spot, and after scooping out a grave in the sand by a small broolr, he placed the infant in the box, nailed down the top, and buried it, even going through the form of delivering a prayer and singing tbe hymn. After he had filled the grave he stamped on it, and slowly went back home and told his mother what he bad done. Ho said it "was just like Mrs. Arthur's little baby's funeral." The mother hastened to the scene, the grave was reopened, and the infant found dead, with its right arm broken and its skull crushed.?New York Sun. The Electric Bell Wire. Tbe following description of an inven? tion of Mr. A. G. Warren, of Mayesville, 6. C will be read with interest! Wires are to be permanently fixed to ! cars of any kind, forming a complete circuit on each car separately. When the cars are coupled together the connec? tion is made between tbe wires on one car and tbe wires on the car next to it, forming one circuit over (or with or through) as many cars as may be coupled together. Cars may be shifted out or taken in without interfering, and even "foreign" (those not provided with this attachment) will not necessarily break the circuit between the engine and tbe last car. It is an electric bell line, intend ed to take the place of the old, heavy and uncertain bell-corn, which is imprac? ticable on freight trains, It can be U3Cd not only by tne conductor while on the train, but also by the coupler while on the ground or between tbe cars. This will be appreciated where shifting is done, especially at night. Several attempts of this kind have been made, and some have been patented, but we have heard of none that went any further. There is a working model of the attachments, which was pronounced by Mr. Munn, of the Sicntific American, the best design for the purpose that had ever come to tbe patent office. Tbe inventor will in a few weeks be prepared to put it on the cars of any railroad' that may wish to use it. ? "You may look out for a brilliant comet in tbe southwestern heavens early in August or the latter part^of July," said Prof. John M. Klein, Kentucky's astronomer. "Upon what theory do you base such a prediction?" "Well, the fact of the matter is that I have noticed for several nights the unmistakable path or orbit of the comet. Look I Do you see that great streak in the heavens resembling somewhat the milky way? It is the path or orbit of a great comet, and that great streak of light is the gaseous matter that follows in the wake of a comet. It is impossible to see it at present, as it travels in tbe orbit of the sun, whose brilliant light during the day prevents the human eye from gazing at it. The deflection by the latter part of July or August will, however, bring it above the horizon during the early even? ing hours when it will be plainly visible, and when it will be of the first magni? tude." As Prof. Klein has heretofore predicted and discovered comets with unfailing accuracy, the fulfilment of this prediction will be looked forward to with interest by the scientific world generally. ? Fifty years ago it cost six cents to send a single sheet letter any distance less than thirty miles. Between thirty aud eighty miles tbe rate was ten cents ; between eighty and 150, twelve and one half cents; between 150 and 400, eigh? teen and one-half cents; and over 400, twenty-five cents. For two sheets double price was charged. In 1845 the unit of weight was fixed at half an ounce and the rate for any distance under 300 miles was fixed at five cents. Above that distance the rate was ten ceuts. Six years later tbe rate was reduced to three cents, for which letters could be sent anywhere under 3,000 miles. In 1863, three cents was made the uniform rate throughout tbe Union; and in 1883 the rate was reduced to two cents. Every one of these reductions has been productive of an increase in revenue; and it is not likely tbat the reduction just affected will prove any exception to the rule. ? An Arizoua editor thus records the virtues of a dead townsman : "We drop a tear as we record the demise of poor Billy Muckrow. His genial presence and hearty laugh added a new grace to tbe most exclusive saloons of the town. We say it without fear of contradiction, Billy was as a chessboard. He was no chump. He never killed a man without cause; he never forgot to settle bis score on the slate. He never refused to go out on a hunt for boss thieves, nor to ante up his little pile when he bucked tbe tiger and lost. And he was a rustler when out with the boys. But bis crown? ing virtue was that just before his death he paid us a three years' subscription in advan'e for the Howler, and we assure his widow that the paper will be deliver? ed to her on lima every week. Stranger, go thou and do likewise." ? The New York iMail and Exprcts reminds the public of the following facts : Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, under instructions of his house of borgesses, offered the resolution declaring the colo? nies free and independent on June 7th, 1770; the committee to draw the resolu? tions was appointed June 11th, reported on July In uud the declaration was adopted July 2nd and was signed on the 4th only by the President and Secretary of C'iingress It did not receive llie sig? natures of the "signers" until August 2d. It was passed unanimously by a vote of States only because two of the Pennsyl? vania delegates were absent, the majority of that delegation opposiug it. All the congressmen were induced to sign it only on the 3rd of August. ? A lady in this city, who has a false tooth sot on a pivot, sneezed it out the other day while feeding chickens.

After a long chase the hen was captured, beheaded, its crop opened, the tooth found and restored to its owner's mouth, where it afterwards helped to masticate the old hen.?South Bend, Ind., Tribune, ?

July 2. 188fi_?1_Gm For More than Half a Century The Daniel Pratt Gin HAS been in .successful operation, during which time over 20,000 Ginn have been made by them and distributed all over the face of the globe where Cotton is grown. We are prepared tu furnish the Improved Gins, Feeders and Condensers to parties wanting them, and from the large number sold by us in this and adjoining Counties in the past nine years, we feel confident of entire satisfaction on the part of the purchaser. The main features in the Pratt Gin are the Revolving Heads in the ends of the Cotton Bos, thereby destroying the friction, and preventing the Roll from breaking. It gins the seed cleaner than any other Gin, and makes a splendid sample. The Feeder is the most perfect machine made for the purpose. The Condenser is so constructed that no dirt or dust can got into the Cotton, which improves the sample greatly. The whole outfit is more simple, less complicated, stronger and more durable than any Gin on the market. Parties desiring to purchaso will be furnished with any further information as re? gards terms, prices, tec, by writing or calling on us.
