C.: WEDNESDAY, OCT. 1, 1893. irby Ij'd Ils -. ; I i I.lsword " Senator John L. M.1 rby is out in the newspaplers with a long inter view, which may be summed up to mean a declaration of war against those who do not come out right now and say they will support him for re election to the United States senate. Ostensibly he is opposed to the re port of the "suffrage committee," of which Senator Tiliman is chairman, but takes this occasion to a deliver a long political harangue to make known what he conceives to be a plan to disfranchise thousands of white men. The senator simply says he is "agin" it, and makes no sug gestions to guide the committee in formuiating a better plan. - Senator Irby means war, for he says that "he has drawn his sword and thrown the scabbard away." At the same time he attacks the Re form leaders and he professes true loyalty to the Reform faction. There is no doubt that the distinguished senator has a host of friends, for he deserves them, but he had better go and hunt up his thrown-awsy scab bard or his sword might get rusty. The people are not going to stand any foolishness from Mr. Irby no more than they did from others, and if he persists in spoiling for a fight, he may get a contract which will be more than he can handle well. As far as we can see Senator Irby --has taken up an idea that Governor Evans will oppose him, and that Senator Tillman will aid the Gov ernor. What grounds there is for -this idea we do not know, but we do know that Governor Evans or any. one else has a right to aspire to the high honor, and if they are stronger with the people than Senator Irby, it is their good fortune. We well remember when it was being rumored that Hon. John L. McLaurin was a candidate to suc ceed Mr. Irby that gentleman in one of hig speeches showed fight, "drew his sword and threw the scabbard away," and boasted that he "always -wore a suit of clothes two seasons." His friend, Mr. Gantt, in the Head light kept up a weekly grind on Mr. McLaurin trying to injure the man, and at the same time was making all that is great and good out of Mr. Evans. The Headlight's general has partially withdrawn his forces from McLaurin, and is now courting a conflict with others. Just how it will all end is mere conjecture, but we do not think we are far out of it when we say that Senator Irby should wash his linen elsewhere than in the convention, and if he persists in raising a rumpus in the Reform camp he will be summarily bounced. The Reformers do not want anyone to draw a sword on them, and when they see a man so unappreciative as to throw away a nice scabbard that was presented to him by them, they will look upon him as ungrateful -and will find somebody who can appreciate such a good thing. It does seem really strange that as soon as a politician begins to feel his strength failing him he at once makes for Tillman's scalp, and he always gets left. A western exchange wants to know how any farmer can conscien.tiously vote for any political party whose whole tendency of legislation is to uce prices of all products of the farm, ke gold sole master of the situation ; m,. ny farmer, who has -watched the trend orts-.markets for the past few years, can co liiin~ to vote to enrich the already rich and further reduce the products of labor, is one of those things that borders close on the marvelous. An exchange says that the great game of freeze-out being played by Wall street on the money question is still going on. N{ot satisfied with de stroying our silver, they have now -started a movement to corner the greenbacks and thus force the gov ernent to retire them. Two banks already have more than one-third of the entire amount in their posses sion. Surely we are in the hands of the gold lords of Wall, who are try ing to sap the very life out of the nation and bring the people to a level with the serfs of the old world. How long will the people stand it ? We reproduce the following from the Washington D. C., Silver Knight: And Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold."-13 Genesis, second verse. This is the first mention of money in the bible. It will be noticed that silver is men tioned before gold. The next place where money is mentioned in the bible is in the 23d chapter, 16th verse of Genesis, which reads as follows : "And' Abraham hearkened unto Ephram and Abraham weighed to Ephram the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Hieth, four hundred shekels of silver carrent money with the merchant." It will be seen that during Abra ham's time silver was the current money mn use. In our last issue we advocated the passage of the Ellerbe resolution i. e., to have the convention make the necessary levies and appropria tions to run the government and then do away with one session of the Legislature. We have 'given this matter serious thought, and the more we think of it the more are we con vinced of the wisdom of such a course. The omission of a session of the Legislature this winter will not inconvenience the people near so much as the levy of an additional 50,000 tax. The people are now in such a financial condition that the saving of money to them is greatly appreciated, but if to do away with this session of the Legislature will do an injustice to any partictular public int-rest we would not advocate it. The onlv interest interfered with that we Can see bV the conivention taking 4ueh a step would be to cut the members of the Legislature out of a few weeks of lung pract'ce. The Ellerbe resolution, if adopted, will not only make the necessary tax levies and appropriations, which will answer the purpose, but it will cut a small amount off from each taxpay er's tax receipt. We therefore favor the resolution if its purpose can be carried out without embarrassment to the State government. COURT. The October term of the general sessions opened here last Monday, with Hon. R. C. Watts as presiding judge. As soon as the court was organized the judge presented his commission, which was duly filed and recorded by the clerk. This being the last term of the court for this year no special charge was delivered to the grand jury. The solicitor handed out the bills of indictment, and in a short time the court was ready for work. True bills were found in the fol lowing cases: Ladsen Lawson, Solomon McDuffle and Will Richardson, housebreak ing and burglary; two different cases. William Thomas, larceny of lve stock. Solomon Hatfield, burglary and larceny. Julius Thomas, larceny of live stock. Ben F. Fleming, Harvey L. B. Hodge, Henry Reddin and Monroe Peters, murder. Welborn Deas, Gus Deas, William Dickson and Powell Dyson, house breaking and larceny. Elias Lee Sims, disposing of prop erty under lien. Michael J. Blackwell, assault and battery with intent to kill. Pinckney Pearson, assault and battery with intent to kill. The solicitor nol prossed the fol lowing cases: Lou Collins, assault and battery of a high and agrvated nature. EdIward e~kwell and Hattie White, adultery. Palme Ard and Susan Hicks,'adul tery. TRIALS. William Thomas, guilty; eighteen months in the chain gang, or same term in the penitentiary. Ladsen Lawson, guilty; same sen tence. Solomon Hatfield, guilty; three months in chain gang or same term in the penitentiary. Pinckney Pearson, guilty; six months in chain gang and $50 fine. Julius Thomas, not guilty. Henry White, not guilty. Elias Lee Sims, not guilty. GRAND JURY REPORT. To His Honor R. C. Watts, Presiding Judge: The grand jury, having passed o'i all claims placed in their hands, and having disposed of such business as has been brought to their attention, submit this their presentment: We have examined, through committees, the books of trial justices, and found them correct and kept in a neat condition and all moneys accounted for. They report the morals of the' people in their juris diction good, very little liquor sold unlaw fully, and a great improvement in the ob servance of the law. We have examined the books of the treasurer, auditor, school commissioner, aheriff and clerk of the court in a cursory manner, not thinking it necessary to go into a minute examination, as the State officers will do in a short time in the pre sence of the foreman. We found them, as far as we are capable of judging, in good condition, well kept, and all moneys prop. erly accounted for. We have inspected the dispensary and found everything in a neat and orderly condition, the law rigidly enforced except in one particular-the name of the buyer Is not always recorded, and we r ecommend that this feature be more strictly enforced. From information from different sources we consider it a model dispensary. The report of the county commissioners has been handed us as the law requires. The supervisor thinks that a good deal of money has been saved the county in the different expenditures, and we wish to congratulate the present board on their economy and management. We find in the commissioner's office, nithe following amounts : 188788. 2w-.........$ 70.47 188889...................... 27.41 1890-9.......... .......... 30. 1891 92..................... 369 83 89293.....................1;20.97 189394......................2079.99 Total.. .................1507.1() We recommend that the Legislature pass a law that will enable the county to bor row the money and p~ay the back indebt edness, and run the cou..ty on a cash basis in the future. We desire to return thanks to his Honor ad the solicitor and county officials for courtesies shown. Respectfully, J. HI. McCouarz Foreman. October 15, 1895. The News and Courie-r paid our mer shants a handsome compliment in its issue last Friday for the plncky way they are working for the trade. 9ER Cures * OTHERS, WILL ~~ Cure You.
