VOL. NEAL DEFENDS HIMSELF.
During the recent Senatorial con
test it will be remembered Candidate
Evans made the charge that he placed
Colonel V. A. Neal, Superintendent.
of the State penitentiary in the Kee
lev Institute to be treated for the
wiskev -abit and that he had tele
graphed for Colonel Cunningham, of
Chester, to take charge. Colonel
Neal waited autil all of the political
exoiteaent passe'l over and in his
us. d basin sS-like manner proceed
ed to pro e the ex-governor a twist
er of facts, and after submiting his
proof he denounces John Gary Evans
a slanderoius liar.
A :rat many allowances should be
muade . what is said during a heated
caimpaigiu,out when a man maliciously
seeks to destroy another by wanton
falsehool it is unexcusable. Gover
nor Evans said also that Colonel Neal
shooid be wea ing stripes, and he
nevcr did s.Ly wh t for; but when
John T. Duncan said that John Gary
Evans should wear stripes he said it
was for pilfering the people's money.
We did not take any stock in Dun
can's charges, we believed them false
and time has convinced us they were
without foundation, and we have no
idea now, that Governor Evans can
establish one scintilla of proof to
back up his assertion which reflects
upon Col. Neal's integrity.
Colonel WV. A. Neal did what many
others would not have the moral
courage to do. and that was, when
slandered, to wait for the people to
cool down before he made any at
tempt to exonerate hituself. He did
not deny going to Keeley, but like a
manly man he came out and told the
whole story of his affliction and back
ed it up by his attending physicians
and other honorable gentlemen.
Now since the matter has been drag
ged before the public it has con
vinced us, we. were mistaken in
our estimate of John Gary Evans,
and that instead of his being the
high, broad-minded man who has
been badly treated, we have been
converted to the belief that he is nar
row, selfish, spiteful and to accomz
plish his own advancement would
slander an opponent,and thepeople of
South Carolina are fortunate in their
thorough repudiation of him.
We sincerely hope the next legisla
ture will repeal the act that gives
Clarendon a two weeks fall term of
court. When this proposition was
first mooted-we opposed it upon the
ground that it was not necessary;
nothing has come up since which has
changed our mind, but on the con
trary we are more thoroughly con
vinced that we were correct in our
position. The people are not, ben
efited by this extra week, a few liti
gants may be, but that is no reason
why the masses should be taxed to
keep up a ponderous law machinery.
If our legislators who are so solici
tous for litigants will make those lit.
igants pay the court's expenses and
thus relieve the tax-payers it will be
all right, b at under existing con
ditions it is a burden that should be
lift M.
The Charleston Post, whenever it
gets cornered, puts on a very conde
scending air and charitably mentions
Tii: TInEs. However, this does not
do away with the fact that the Post
and other anti-dispensary newspapers
have done lots of free advertising for
the original package shops, not in
their regular advertising columns,
but in a more desirable position, the
local or news columns. We need no
better pr. of of this assertion t han a
perusal of the file of the Post since
the first original pachage sho-p opened.

he proceeded t deliver ouc o
ablest addresses on the du y a
grand juror we have heard in many
years. He told them that their atls
required them to bring to the cris
attention any violation of law and ihe
went on to give his reason while ::e
deprecated the existing spirit of law
lessness. The judge's remarks werc
timely and impressive and th2 well
tilled court room gave him th(t un~
divided attention.
At the conclusion of theyjLdge s re
marks be c&lled attention to a recent
act of tle general assembly requirin
six of th: present grand jury to hold
over 4r.d serve with twelve others
that will be drawn next year. Cleik
Timmons placed the names of the en
tire paiael in a hat and the followr
ing gentlemen were drawn: J. H.
Johnson, S. H. Alsbrook, T. P. (,u
tino, W. C. Cannon, J. S. Nelson and
W. E. Jenkinson.
The Solicitor then gave out the
following bills:
State vs Charles Harper, assault
with intent to ravish and assault and
battery of a high and aggravated
nature, true bill.
State vs Gus Deas, housebreaking
and larceny, true bill.
State vs Manly Jenkinson for dis
turbing a religious meeting, true bill.
State vs James Ridgill and Sallie
Wells, adultry, no bill.
State vs Adam Green, buring
house by tenant, true bill.
The first case ready for trial was
against Gus Deas. This defendant was
charged with breaking into -the ,r,
of the late W. P. Peagler, at .:1:a11
and stealing therefrom a quantity 'f
dry goods, shoes and clothiolg.
amounting to about seventy dollars.
The testimony had not procwea-d r-r
when Mr. E G. Barrinean, o!:e of ii
jurymen, took ill and the procecd
ings came to a sudden halt, a recess
was taken until yesterday m r:in;
when the trial was resume,1. The c:se
was a long and tetious one an-I re
suited in a verdict of not guilty.
The next case was agai'st Ma.,
Jenkinson. This was where a n

sheriff to keep him from bemng Iyna

among the colored folks by a rumor
that a crowd would be in town that
night to lynch the prisoner. It turnesi
out to be a false alarm. nevertheecss
the sheriff hearing the rumor took
every precaution to protect the pris
oner intrusted to him.
The case wended along its weary
way until the hour of adjournmuent
arrived and a recess wvas taken until
this morning when it was again re

been assigned by the court to dle
fend the prisoner and he handlea the
case well. The jury found him guilty,
and tbe prisoner's sentence was six

Io view of this con'dit:ou of afairs, a
number of imrnitaut merchants and su
gar planters of Spanish origin, in con
junction with several Cubans of promi
nence, have been holding secret meet
ings and corresponding with people in
various parts of the island with the ob

eral It is expected that the majority of
the renlies will be favorable to annexa
tion of Cuba to the United States, as the
Washington government alone, appa
rently, is able to guarantee peace in
Cuba and the protection of life and
property.
Cuban Committee Coming.
As soon as it is ascertained that this
element of persons appealed to are in
favor of annexation, a committee will
be sent to the United States, with in
structions to lay the case of Cubaclearly
before the business men of prominence
in the United States, and ask the latter
to unity with the business men of Cuba
in anppaication to the Washington gov
ernmesnt, aslingt the United States, in
view of the failure of the Conservatives
to suprress the insurrection by force of
arms, and poin:ing out the 1mpossi
biiity of the Liborais ending the war by
establishin, a: autonomous form of
government, to bring about the annexar
tion of Cuba to the United States.
The plan of Senor Sagasta, the new
Spauish premier, to give autonomy to
Cub.:. is far fro:a giving eatisfaction
and has greatly inrcreased the feeling of
disco::tent. The Autonomist party, it
is pointed out., exists only in name, the
actual majority of the autonomists be.
ing in the insargent ranks, and, with
the exception possibly of Senor Montoro
ad a few otier prominent sutono

It would be fo~prudent, it is added, to
give such offices to the party known as
the R.eformists. as the more influential
Spaniards hatte them, and the adoption
of such a pohicy would mnean rioting and
