Therefore, it is ad visable to have this prompt and sure rem ed always at band to meet an emergency Court. The court of general sessions opened here last Monday. with Judge I. D. With erspoon presiding. Solicitor John S. Wil son's host of friends were delighted to see him at his post igain and as one of them remarked "John's voice in the court room again makes a fellow feel like court is going on."Thenew stereographer who is Mr. J. W. Mixon is at his post and he is making a fine impression upon all with whom he has an opportunity of coming in contact. After the usual preliminaries in getting the court organized. His Honor Judge Witherspoon delivered a charge to the grand jury, defining their duties and cal led their attention to the various things that will come within their province to investigate. The following bills of indictment were acted upon: Peter Rrunson, larceny of live stock. true bill. Peter Pompey, assault with attempt to ravish, true bilL Fred Green, housebreakzg, true bill. Ed. Meyers, burglary and larceny, no bill. August Barrinean, burglary and larceny true bill. Edward alias Ned Blackwell, Hattie White alias Hattie Hilton, adultry, tio bill. The first case tried was against August Barrinean which resulted in his conviction and sentence to the penitentiary for six months at hard labor. Then come the case of Peter Pompey who was charged with dec03 ing a little six-year-old girl off into the woods and there attempted to com mit a crime that his lite would paid the penalty had he succeeded. He was very properly found guilty and the judge in sentenceing him the next day gave him a lecture which should linger in his memory for all time. The sentence was three years in the penitentiary at hard labor. The court then adjourned. Yesterday the case against Peter Brun son alias Alex Gordan, charged with steal ing a horse from James Wilder, a respect able old colored man from the Summerton section was tried. Brunson had no attor ney and conducted his own dtfense, ques tioning witnesses mainly on the point that they did not see him steal the horse, but he failed to satisfy the jury of his inno cence and they returned a verdict of guilty This man on Monday created quite a sen sation for a short time in the court room by fainting; many people believed he was playing "possom." When he was called up for sentence the Judge gave him a good roa&ting for stealing the horde from the old man and also for perjuring himself on. the witness stand. The sentence was two years in the penitentiary at hard labor. During the examination of this case the grand jury came in with a true bill against Jerry Thompson alias Henry Lowry. charged with obtaining property under false preptenses and a true bill against John Richardson. charged with murder. John Ard and A. D. eonnor failed to an swer when their names were called as wit nesses and rules to show cause why they should not be adjudged in contempt were issuel. Fred Green was found guilty upon the charge of house breaking and sentenced to eight months in the penitentiary at hard labor. The grand jury again returned with a true bill against Pelvin Ard alias Tom Johnson and Susan Hicks alias Susan Johnson, charged with adultry. The last case tried yesterday was against Macey Kennedy. ;charged with breaking into a house belonging to Mrs. M. J. Reames and stealing therefrom a lot of cot ton seed. The testimony in this case was entirely circumstatial. the prosecution de pending mainly on the fact that Kennedy had sold seed about the time they were sto: en and peculiar tracks of a horse said to belong to the defendaat. The defendant disclaimed any knowledge of the theft and admitted selling seed about that time, but claimed that the seed belonged to his moth er who corroberated the prisoners state ments. It was late when the testimoney was concluded and on adjournment was ordered. This morning the case went to the jury who rendred a verdict of not guilty. A true bill was brought-in against John W. Frierson, charged with unlawful traffic in seed cotton, and no bill in another case of the same nature against the same part.. Jerry Thompson alias Henry Lowry plead guilty to obtaining property under false pretenses and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. Presentment. of the Grand Jury. Manning, S. C.. Feb. 27th1 895. To His Honor I. D. WitLerspoon -Presid ing Judge: We have acted on the bills of indictment presented by the Solicitor under instruct tions from the court.

DOUGLASS MATTER Populists Claim They Did and Democrats Claimed They Didn't, and All in she Sarin Body-The Besolution Acted Upon and Fassed. RALEImG, N. C., February 26.-Yea terday witnessed the most exciting and spirited debate yet held in the house. The epithets "liar" and "falsehood" were bandied about pretty freely, though in a rather indiscriminate way and no personal difficulty ensued. The cause of the hot debate was the following resolution which was intro duced by Mr. Lusk, republican of Bun comb county, in reference to the Fred erick Douglass matter: Whereas, The democratic press have wil fully and maliciously charged and published that the general assembly of 1895 refused to ad journ out of respect to the memory of the birthday of Washington and Lee, but did ad ourn out of respect to the memory of Fred riok Douglass and. Whereas, By such false statements they have reflected upon the dignity and purpose Of the present house, and Whereas. The facts in the case are as follows: That on the 16th day of January, 1895, that Mr. rench offered the following resolution: Resolved. By the house of representatives. the senate concurring, that when this house djourns, it adjourns to meet Monday at 3 p. m. Mr. French moved - to suspend the rules which was done, and the resolu tion was adopted without a dissenting ote and sent to the senate for concur rance, which resolution the journal shows was adopted. This resolution being non-concurred in by the senate, the house met next morning at the usual hour and after being in session less than half an hour, on motion of Mr. Young of Wake, the house adjourn ed out of respect to the memory of Robert E. Lee, the same being his birthday. 'The (deorge Washington M[atter. on the 21st day of February a resolu ion to adjourn from Thursday until Saturday, out of respect to the memory of George Washington, was offred by Mr. Williams, of Craven, and was passed by a very large majority, the same was not concurred in by the sen ate. The house met the next day as usual, a motion was made by Mr Lush to adjourn out of respect to the mem ry of George Washington, the same being his birthday. and the same was adopted naanimously ; and Whereas. On the 21st day of February a res lution was offered by Mr. Crews, of Granville, that the house adjourn at 1.2 o'clock out of re pect to the memory of Frederick Douglass, when his sudden death was announced, the house did not agree to adjourn at this hour, but when the purpose of the motion was ex plained to simply give publicity to the sudden and unexpected death ot this distinguished deceased. it was concurred in by all parties. and as a matter of fact, the house did not ad ourn until thirty-seven minutes after the time required by the rules for adjournment: now, therefore, be it Resolved. That in the interest of truth and accuracy of history, the utterances and exprea sions of the democratic press in this city are denounced as unjust, untrue, misleading, mali cious and libelous. Resolved further, That this record as above recited, and resolutions, be spread upon the minutes of the house. What are the Facts in the Case T Though no denial is made in the above resolutions of the fact that the legislature adjourned in honor of Fred Douglas. it is declared that that body did adjourn in honor of Lee and Wash ington. In reference to the first named, this is utterly false as is shown by the daily newspaper reports of all political par ties of that date. The house journal of that date is generally believed to have been doctored. It is well known that the house refused to adjourn in honor of Washington till severely castigated for their action by the newspapers and the public generally. The debate consumed the whole day, and though the democratic leaders clearly showed, by both democratic and populist papers, that the resolu tion was false, it was passed by a strict party vote of 53 to 27.
