THE LANIG TIMES. Maimi 1inag, 0. C . S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, February 25,1891. Local History. We desire to publish all the local history we can get. Recently the Thins published an interesting account of the campaign of the 23rd in Virginia in 1862. The demand is now that the writer of that article contin ne, and give the history of the 23rd, from beginning to end. A private letter f'om that distinguished young writer, McDodald Fnrman, tells us that he will shortly furnish the Tnar-s with the rolls of Co. H, 5th S. C. Cavalry, and such additional information as he can ob tain of the company's history. This will be of great interest. We want all such, and will take great pleasure in publishing any local history, military, religious, or civil. We know of a score of writers in this county who could furnish valuable and in teresting papers on these subjects. Will they do it? ICOURT. The February term of court is now in ses sion. The general sessions opened prompt ly at 10 o'clock Monday morning, with his Honor, James Aldric'i, presiding. The us ual ceremonies of opening court were gone through, after which the grand jury was em pannelled ard sworn. They selected Mr. I. Keels as foreman. His Honor gave the jury a clear and com plete charge, covering fuily their duties as jurors. He said in substance, "Custom and experience have established it, and it is my duty to instruct the grand jury as to their various duties. You are drawn from the various portions of the county, and you are presumed to hsve a general supervision of the different L-atters concerning the affairs of your county. Your privileges as .and jurors are broad and extersive, and you have the power to bring to the attention of - the court all matters pertaining to your countyaffairs. "'It is your duty to consider carefully the oath that you Lave taken, a part of which ays 'you shall well and truly keep secret the State's counsel, your fellows', and your own.' You should Dnderstand by that not to divulge any matters that are reported to yu except as they are presented by your y in open court. The object is to ad minister justice and at the same time pre vent those who are reported from knowing who reported them. "You have other important duties to per form. You are to look into the financial m-nagement of your county, especially the offices of county commissioners, treasurer, school commissioner, and trial justices; to see whether these officers have performed their duties according to law. The law pre sc ibes the duties of all the officers; there are different officers assigned to the difier eat departments of -your courty government; and it is your privilege to investigate the manner in which they conduct their offices. "You have a general supervision of all the rorsa-bridges, and ferries, and have the right to make such suggestions as you thinkt will be needed for their betterment and im provement. You also have charge of your county poor house, and it is your duty to see that the inmates are properly cared for: they are to be properly fed and clothed, and not to be treated like criminals. "It is your duty to see that the county jail is safe and comfortable. The law pre sumes every person innocent until he is found guilty by a petit jury of his county, and persons placed in the jail are not placed there for punishment until they have been convicted. "I read a few days ago in the newspapers how a prisoner from your jail was taken out and carried to an adjoining cointy to pro tect him from being lynched. The accounts in the papers were somewhat confused as to t whether or not the jail was strong enough to keep the prisoner or whether the jail was strong enough to keep out a mob .who do violence to thie -prisner. ~ ami ot cer'iiwhil if was, but lynch law must not be tolerated in South Crinand, those engaging in such an ou eous violation of the law should be p 'ised to the full extent of the law. It Ss a crying shame and ablot on our civiiza tion. .I did not believe when I read the ac count in the newspapers, that any lynching was contemplated, and now, after looking at these persons before me, from all sections of * orcounty, I do not believe o-ae word of he ubihed threatenings of lynch law." Tecourt then irstructed the grand jury asto the several bills handed them by the solicitor. The first ease tried was that of Madison Ballard who had been convicted at the last term of the court for an aggravated assault and battery with intent to kill. After his conviction his employer got an attorney to intercede for him as the witnesses in behalf of the prisoner did not get to court in time to testity. .Upon this statement being made to the court anew trial was granted. This, -1also, resulted in conviction, the proof being conclusive that the prisoner, 'who is a young colored man, struck a very aged "mauma" with a large billet of wood, knocking one eecompletely out. The Judge told the prisoner that the jury very properly convict ed him, and that he would double the sen -tence given him at the former trial. .Hle then sentenced him to pay a fine of $200, or to serve 18 months in the penitentiary at hard labor. John A. Ward was arraigned on the charge of murder. He pleaded not guilty, and by areement of counsel the case was set for Wednesday morning. Edmund Holhaday was also arraigned for murder, and the plea being not guilty the trial was set to be taken up immediately af ter the Ward case. The next cas~e was that of A. C. Briggs for selling liquor at Silver without a State li * :nse. T1his case created considerable in terest owing to the prominence o? the par ties concerned, and was hotly contested by _the State and defence. Court imposed a "'ine of $100 or 3 months in the county jail.: The $ aspaid. 'esday morning March Holladay (col ored) charged with assault and battery with intent to kill was called and not appearing for trial the court empanelled a jury and trie~i himi in his absence. Guilty. Sealed sentence. The case against Thos. W. Brown for as-t sault and battery with intent to kill and car rying a concealed weapon was continued on account of the illnessof the defendant.1 Charles F. McFai din entered a plea of t guilty against himself for carrying a con cealed weapon. He was fined $20 or two 'mths in jail. He paid the $20. Herny Owens, (colored) housebreaking and grand larceny. Plead guilty. Sentenced to 3 years in the penitentiary at hard labor. In the following cases the grand jury found no bill, and the cases were dismissed: JT. C. Stakes, assault and battery with in -tent to kill. J. C. Stakes, carrying concealed weapons. Wash Tennison, assault and battery with The case against A. C. Briggs and E. P. Briggs for selling liquor at Silver without a license was then tried, and as in the for mer case against one of the - defendants great interest was exhibited. The jury ren dered a verdict of guilty as to bcth of the defendants, and the sentence of the court was a fmne of $100 each or imprisonment in the county jail 3 months each. Counsel for defen ts gave notice of appeal. 0 ih mcnyrnrted to did not believe one word contained in the newspapers about an effort to resort to lynch law in this county." We have no doubt but that a rumor did reach the ears of our worthy sheriff that some persons were talk ing about such a thing, but we are satisfied that the very few indulging in such talk would not dare to make the attemot. How ever, when we consider the weakness of our county jail we think that our sheriff did his full duty in not running the risk of ascer taning whether or not the rmuor had any foundation. We have no lynchers in this county, and will have none as long as the courts of justice are administered by true and brave men. The county jail is a wooden structure, very insecurely built, and totally unfit for the purpose of incarcerating prisoners. Its mnagement is good. it is clean, and the prisoners confined therein are as comforta ble as incarceration will permt. We rec onimend that the present jail building be sold, and a brick jail be erected in its stead. We have not had an opportnunity of exam ning into the county offices nor the county inances, but at a more convenient season will select a committee of our body to make said examination. The roads and bridges are not in as good condition as they should be, but we will make a special examination of them and re port the result of our examination at the next term. Complaint has been made to us, and the fact is of our own knowledge, that in a great many places in the county persons do not confine themselves to their fields when plowing, but also plow up the roads. This should not be allowed, as it is a nuisance as well as injurious to the traveling public, and we wish the court would direct the attention of the proper authorities to this matter, so that the evil can be remedied. A committee of this body visited the county poor house, and find the buildings in a very dilapidated condition, needing immediate repairs. The management of the institution is as good as could be expected with the means allowed. We do hereby present one Isam Thomas, alias Dr. Isam Thomas, for selling spiritu ous and intoxicating liquors without a State license. and give as material witnesses to prove the charge the following persons, viz: W. E. Davis, J. S. Davis, and J. L. Eadon. . We present also one Benjamin Ward for selling spirituous and intoxicating liquors without a State license, and give as witness es to prove the charge the following persuns, viz: John Corbett, Jr., T. A. Davis, Andrew Hamilton, Rev. S. F. Parker, Seth A. Short er, John B. Mellette, and C. B. Shorter. Respectfully submitted, J. H. KEELS, Foreman. The court was delayed this morning by some important witnesses being absent. Warren Burgess, one of the witnesses, was brought into court upon a bench warrant. His Honor asked him why he had not ap peared before, and his reply was that he had a corn on his toe and could not walk with any pleasure. The Judge then gave him a severe lecture, and told him that if his pres ence was not needed immediately he would lodge him in jail: under the circumstances he would only instruct the clerk not to is sue a pay certificate for hiui. Owing to the absence of an important witness the Ward case was postpoued this morning, and the Holladay case conimenc ed. Considerable time was consuied in getting a jury, and as each of the jurors were presented they were examined on theii voir dire. The case was begun about 11 o'clock A. y., and was given to the jury at 415 r. x. Every inch of ground was con tested by the attorney for the defense, and at the ecnclusion of the testimony able ar guments were made on both sides. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty. He will be sentenced to-morrow to be hanged. Immediately after the jury retired to their room, another jury was empanelled and the case against John A. Ward for the killing of Henry W. Shorter was commenced. A Few Political Questions. Enrron T .E MArnG TzrEs:-Is it Dos sible that Gen. Hampton has condescended to hunt up such a man as Ingalls? We were grieved a short time ago to hear read from that noxious paper, the News and Courier, an article in regard to the pleasant and agreeable meeting between Gen. Hampton and Ingalls. The idea is perfectly shocking to think of. To hunt up such a man as In galls, to shake his hand, and then sit down beie him to hold a conf.ab. What does this mean ? So might we have asked the same question in regard to Has kellism in our last campaign. It undoubt ely means something. While I don't claim to be anything of a philosopher, neither a statesman, but my advice to the people of South Carolina is to keep their eyes open to any such proceeding. Who is Ingalls but o~ne of the vilest sort of Republicans, un worthy of the notice of any true and patri otic South Carolinian. A man who would not hesitate to heap upon the people of the Southern States all the epithets an d all other things damnable to them, that might be in his power to gather up in the New England States or his own. I think if Mr. Ingalls would do as Mr. Jay Gould has done: travel around a little and try and hear somet'dng about the world and especially the negro of the South, he might then say as Mr. Gould so sensibly said about the negro problem, "Let this matter adjust itself.'' I am con strained to think that it would have been ar better for some of our so-calle-d smart men to have come to the same conclusion in de last campaign: to have let the people idjust such matters as they saw fit.- My private opinion, publicly expressed, is that here is a certain element in our State that s so blinded by prejudice that they would lo most anything to break down the present tdministration of the State. There is so nuch of that old dominating, bull headed, tristocratie, blue blooded ideas still existing imong some of our so-called brainy people hat they fail to see and to realhze that we ire a free and independent people. We pro pose that each and every man shall have an squal and fair chance. If a man is trust orthy and qualified otherwise should such Sman be debarred the privilege of filling my position that he might aspire for, pro ided he mreets the ap~probation of the peo ?le? Such has never been the privilege in ur State, for there has alwvays been so much artiality, ring rule, bossism that the so alled common people had no showing at dll, howv well they might have been qualified. ut I thing we have pretty well got theid ider the hack, and we propose to hold the -eins of the government for a little while nd see if we cannot deal out justice to all dike. We do not claim to be perfect, we do iot claim that every man who claims to be i Tillmanite is a trustworthy man. There tre bad men in all parties, there are bad men n office now, but it is a matter that wvill have o be adjusted by the people, and I hope the lay is not far distant when all the offices of ur county, as well as the State, will be filled y the very best men that we have in order hat peace and justice may prevail forever ore. mAot~uTE. Panola, S. C., Feb. 10, 1891. The Medical Profession. The attitude of the medical profes sion toward what is known as "patent medicines" is not at all unreasonable. Lhousandls of these nostrums are of ~ered to the public every year. Some f them are dangerous, and most of hem are futile. Swift's Specific (S. 3. S.), we are all glad to say, is not lassed among these nostrums. It has >ercome the wholesome prejudices f physicians in all parts of the coun ry, and some of the strongest testi nonials in its behalf come from med. cal men who have used it in their >racti onot hesitate to -sults. This -tby no lanm HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS. S. A. NETTLES. Mrs. JEROME'S SwEOAlm.-Jerome's wife has wanted a sidtboard for some time, and keeping in mind the en couraging motto of "all things come to him that waits," she has waited and waited, and as her faith in this good old saVing has been much weakened by this waiting she finally decided to accept a substitute, and went to a fur niture factory and bought the lower part of a soft wood bureau in the white. It had three drawers. The top one she had divided a Ia the reg ulation sideboards and lined with can ton flannel. Six antique brass draw pulls were purchased, and a can of prepared stain, which transformed the plebian soft wood bureau into an an tique oak sideboard. Over this she put one of tLe hang ing bookshelves which can be bought anywhere for from fifty to seventy-five cents. It fastened with hooks to the wall, so was perfectly secure. This was finished with the same stain. Small brass hooks were put in front of one shelf to hang her pretty after dinner coffee cups on, and filled the shelves with odd and pretty things in china. One of her drawn work linen covers was laid on the top of the bu reau, and when her wedding gifts of silver and glass were arranged on this you would never stop to think that this was a common bureau masquer ading as a Louis XVI sideboard. Happy Horry. Coswa, Feb. 21.-There are very few delinquents on the tax books now, nearly the entire tax having been paid before the penalty was added. 'The county is out of debt, has a gsod surplus, pays its bills as they are presented, and has not a prisoner in jail. Can any other county in the State make such a showing? Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic cures every pop, or no pay. Mr. Way Rl-plies to Sufferer. EDITOR MANro Tois:-From Sufferer's belabored effort in your last isne of tue Times one would suppose that he is as preg. nant with ignorance as he has been with swamps, causeways, and roads. From his total ignorance of county comissioner's salaries, ignorant as to their pay pee day and mileage, ignorance of the charges lie brings of obtaining money ur der fiase pretenses, his silly boomerang needs no reply or furth er notice from me. The general character of the man with his many notab!e adiiases (and those who know him best will agree with me) by no means warrants u-, i cnter ing into a new.qlpaper controversy with For eston's dangerous and most troublesomce adversary. He like all other ld men has need to pluck some sabient feather from the wing of his ignorance and stick therm in the tail of his judgment. Blat who is Sufferer? As usual be cow ardly hides in ambush and strikes his o)po nent in the back. Has this been the true character of Sufferer under all of his many nom de plumes? Is not this the character of an assassin? Will a brave man strike another in ambush? The old brother will pardon me, for I in tend to reveal his true identity and give him a parting shot in the heel. The people must know how the old animal looks. If Sufferer had been prompted by pure motives in his criticisms he could have given me much help to better the condition of Mount Hope causeway, but, no, unless he is the bell sheep in any undertaking he always bleats for the newspapers, and is not careful wvhether he libels a man or public oficer, or not. He reminds me of an opossum hanging by the tail. All the tinme he grins. He wants to be the bell sheep in every movement or un dertaking: if not he bleats. When I was at Foreston to devise sonme plan to work Motat Hope causeway, -theT place which impregnated Suff'erer with so much horror, I called upon him to hl lp me with a team. This he positively refused. Maj. Land and other good citizens of Fores ton helped me with teams very readily. This will show which side the wind blows. Med dlesome, pestiferous fellow, Sufferer. Did you ever see yourself as others have seen and known you? This, I am told, is the general character of the man. While at Foreston sonie talked to mec and put me on guard for fear of this swampl critic. I learned more of Sufferer's general character than I had ever known beo, as Sufferer and I had been very slightly ac quainted, but I found him most universally disliked. Parties told me he was a mo'ddle some old fellow. Was this so with -F'ores ton's city government ? Was this so wvith the city officers? Nowv, Mr. Editor, I wash my hanid as far as Sufferer is concerned. I think, however, justice demanded that I make this state ment. T. A.
