Conocrniujt Our Juries.
Much has been written of late
concerning the juries in South
Carolina and the members of
several recent juries on important
cases have received much
censure because of the verdicts
rendered. While we admit that
very often incompetent men are
drawn on the jury lists and are
accepted by both State and defense,
yet we can not but feel
that the average juryman is of
late getting more than his share
of condemnation and we think it
but Just that our fellow citizens,
who are so ready to censure,
should take into consideration
the other side of the^case.
Do our solicitors always make
out strong cases against the
defendants? Do they present
witnesses that are so well informed
and intelligent that they
can but be believed, no matter
what the defense may strive to
show to the contrary? In other
words, is die State's case always
proved beyond a * reasonable
doubt? Are our solicitors as
competent as they should be?
We do not wish to reflect on the
ability of any of the State's attorneys,
but we know instances
where tney are not the match
for the brilliant array of legal
nroconlod hv t Im
Give us better witnesses for
the State in all cases and let the
people be more particular in
selecting the solicitors and we
believe that our jurymen as a
whole will do their duty. Let us
pay our solicitors larger salaries,
so that more able lawyers will
want the positions and we think
the State will be benefited many
hundredfold in return. Make
the State's side stronger and the
whole trouble will be remedied.
Would a North Carolina pickpocket
have done such a thing?
A resident of Charlotte at the
South Carolina fair last week
had more cash than he could conceal
and was relieved of his wad,
together with his watch, by a
South Carolina pickpocket. Imagine
the Charlotte man's surprise
when a few days later he
received his watch by mail.
South Carolina pickpockets are
far more considerate than those
of North Carolina.
When will people learn not to
handle carelessly' the unloaded
gun? Several tragedies have
been reported in South Carolina
within the last few days from
the firing of guns thought to be
unloaded. Will people never
learn that all firearms are dangerous
and exercise good judgment
in handling them?
It is said that there was no
great amount of enthusiasm in
Columbia during President Taft's
visit there last Saturday. Perhaps
this can be accounted for
by the fact that Gov. Ansel had
ordered all of the dispensaries
closed on Friday and Saturday.
The State fair, which closed
Saturday, is reported to have
been one of the best ever held
and the record for attendance
was broken. We are glad Gf
this for it shows the general
prosperity of the State this fall.
Get to work at once for the
organization of the York county
fair for 1010 and let us show the
public that we "have the goods"
and can do as well, or better,
in getting up an exhibition as
any other county anywhere.
We are glad, truly glad, that
President Taft will land back in
Washington tonight. We trust
that he will be so glad to get
home that he will remain there
for a time and give the newspapers
a rest,
rider's Body in Columbia Cac&L
The body of W. Norman Elder,
whose disappearance from his
home in Columbia on Thursday,
October 28, was told of in last
week's Times, was found early
Saturday morning in the Columbia
canal near its lower end, evidently
having floated down from
near the locks, where several
days oefore he was last seen
alive. The body was in good
state of preservation. Indica!
tions were that Mr. Elder hac
j committed suicide, though there
i was no direct evidence of this.
He is said to have made a will in
his wife's favor two days before
his disappearance, and also that
he feared the return of a severe
nervous attack.
Mr. Elder was 70 years of age
and a Confederate veteran. For
four terms he served as a representative
in the legislature and
was formerly a trustee of Win!
throp college. He moved from
I this county to Columbia some
years ago and was a bookkeeper
for the State dispensary. Lately
Mr. Elder was a land surveyor.
He is survived by a widow and
three children: M. L. Elder, of
Pittsfield, Mass., W. C. Elder, of
Alabama, and Mrs. J. P. Moore,
of York county.
'"The body was brought toGuthnesville,
this county, Tuesday for
burial.
Fcrt Kill's Fersccal Frcpirty.
The Yorkville Enquirer of Friday
published a list of the returns
of personal property of
York county, as made to the
county auditor and equalized by
the county board, for the year
commencing January 1, 1909,
which shows an aggregate value
of $8,025,180. For Fort Mill
township it is shown that the
values total $320,805, distributed
as follows among various items
of personalty: Ilorses 161, value
$8,605; mules 338, value $19,285;
sheep and goats 90, value $90.00;
hogs 359, value $1,105; dogs 268,
value $1,340; cattle 549, value
$6,470.
Holding Cotton for 18 Cents.
Rock Hill Herald.
Notwithstanding the high
price of cotton there are some
citizens in this vicinity who are
storing their cotton for higher
prices. Among this number is
Mr. Henry Massey, who has already
stored 116 bales. Last
week he offered to sell for 15
cents. He was offered 14 3-4
cents, but he refused to .#11.
While unloading his colton at
one of the warehouses he was offered
15 cents a pound for the
entire lot. This offer was made
over the phone directly to Mr.
Massey. Here is the result of
the conversation. "I offered
you the lot this morning for 15
cents, but I am storing it now,
and will hold it until I can get
; 17 or perhaps 18 cents for the
entire lot."
Those Who Sold Ahead.
Colu-Tibia Record.
All over the South -more's the
pity?there are farmers who last
spring sold their cotton croy
ahead for 10, 11 and 12 cents.
At the time these sales were
made, the farmers may have had
reason to think they were doing
well, and it must be admitted
there is ordinarily a good profit
in cotton at these prices. But
with 15 cents staring them in
the face now, naturally these
' farmers do not feel very pleas!
ant about the situation. At least
: one of them is able to take it in
| good humor. Capt. W. H. Johnson
of Meriweather county, Ga.,
| sold tor 10 cents, October delivi
ery, and he has issued a call for
a meeting to be held in Greenj
ville, Ga., as follows:
"A repentance meeting of all
j persons who sold cotton for Oc|
tober, November and December
delivery will be held Saturday
evening at Masonic Hall. The
10 cents idiots will meet at 7
! o'clock sharp. The 11 cents imj
beciles will be received at 7:80
' and the 12 cents invalids promptly
at 8. Urgent business will
come before the Octobers,
prophetic talks will be made by
! the Novembers, and the Decem:
bers will sing something appropriate.
A 'Never Again'
resolution will be introduced
?arly in the evening. The moet'
ing will be closed by singing that
1 grand old hymn, 'Show Pity,
Lord; O, Lord, Forgive.' "

Fair week 1n Columbia always
means the gathering together of
I the leading spirits in Palmetto
! politics and incidentally the anj
nouncing of the candidates who
. will probably enter the next
campaign for the various offices.
In the crowd of fait visitors the
! past week there was, as usual,
| many political aspirants and reI>ort
has it that there was a
great deal of political talk and
logrolling on the streets and in
! the hotels of the Capital City.
The greatest activity and the
largest volume of talk had reference
to the gubernatorial candidates.
The week appears to have
; developed one entirely new entry
and to have made definite candii
dacjes of several others, There
' k
appears to be now several definite 1
possible candidates who will
enter the race for Governor next
> summer. These are Richard I.
Manning-, of Sumter, Lieutenant
; j Governor Thos. G. McLeod, of
': Bishopville, C. C. Featherstone,
t of Laurens, John G. Richards, of
i Kershaw, F. H. Hyatt, of Columbia,
Cole L. Blease, of New
t berry and Attorney General J.

Boy Injured by Dynamite Cap.
I The 31-2-ycar-old son of Mr.
j Eugene Neolv, who manages the
| Whitner farms just across Ca-1
! tawba river from Fort Mill, suf- j
I fered a severe accident Saturday,
j The child in same way ran across
; j a dynamite cap in the yard, got
a hammer and laid the cap on a
:; rock and hit it with the hammer, j
! the cap exploding, tearing and
; burning the boy's face and.
' chest considerablv. Dr. W. W.
! | Fenm 11, of Rock Hill, was summoned
and attended the little
! fellow's wounds and stated that
unless some complications set in
j he tliihks the child will recover,
but is likely to have some bad
scars.
! A HIGH-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT COMING.
In commenting upon the results of the
| work of the lyceum bureau, the new- '
1 papers of several places have recently
laid particular emphasis on the value
I of the institution as an educational
! force in creating a higher ideal of recj
recreation and furnishing a course of 1
I entertainments oi character designe 1 to
, j sustain and foster that ideal. The re,
' suit has heen gradually to elevate many
: iui-m.1 aiunuurus ana 10 develop ;? new
' I und wholesome sentiment thai reflects
\ J itself in many phase: of the ?. iwn life.
By the interest they have displayed
in our recent announct merit a majority j
' of the people of Fort Mill have shown j
' that they prefer high-class concerts to
the ordinary shows and circuses that j
come here and also that they appreciate :
the educational value of such attrac- j
' tions to the community as a whole. It j
would now he well for these people to '
1 impress their own convictions upon
i the remaining portion of our people so
that the effect of the good work may
, not be lost in any quarter. In this way
they would render valuable aid to the
j local committee and thereby, with little i
, loss of time to themselves, make ceri
tain the success of the undertaking of
' those gentlemen who have given their j
' j best efforts generously for the benefit
' i of the community at large. The con I
: certs will furnish genuine .entertain- |
j ment to all who have the foresight to !
j attend them and in addition will be of i
direct benefit to our town by the im- '
I petus they will give to the best of \
J those endeavors in which our people are
