Chesterfield waa once considered a very poor eounty, but enterprising farmers hare found that there are some as good lands In Chesterfield as any other county In the state. In fact nearly all the lands In Cheste field is good when It is given the right kind of attention. This has been proven by farmers who have gone into that coun ty from Marlboro and elsewhere, as well, as by some of the progressive young men who are natives of Chesterfield. Marlboro people are buying * large quantles of Chesterfield land, because the eame land there is so much cheaper than It is in Marlboio. * ? ' Another fine section Is that around Teal's mill, six miles west of Cheraw. The lands are naturaly good, and they have been greatly enhanced in value recently by the building of an excelent graded road from Cheraw to the mill. There was already a good road from ;' the mill to Chesterfield court house and this is now the best automobile ! . route from Cheraw to Chesterfield. Dr. D. T. Teal of Cheraw owns a J large amount of land in this section t which he bought before the develope- g ments and the rise began. He is * going to sell this property at auction 1 s to white people only on November i 80th, and through an advertisement c in the Advocate, he is inviting the 1 white citizens of Maiboro to come ^ over and get a home or make an n THE FIRST NA OF GH] WM.

Froseentors and Witnesses. 1) Mr. William Banks, correspondent if the Columbia Daily State gives an ^ interesting account of tae manner in Q which the attorneys conducted the t graft trial at Chester, and throws a ! ? I ? few bouquets at Hon. W. F. Stevenson, k One of the ohester papers also makes ' t interesting reference to Mr. Steven- j. son as will be seen by the clipping j. herein published Chester, Nov. 11.?The evidence is i in; the arguments have been made 'i and the case of the alleged dispensary ( grafters is in the hands of the jury of s Chester county men. t Up to today there has been much c dependence placed upon the rumors 1 that the issue would be not guilty or 1 a miss-trial. But after the powerful 1 and in fact, convincing argument of t W. F. Stevenson this afternoon^ a i great many have been heard to say ] i?.ii,.vn<i that the jury will f not dare "to" acquit. Mr. Stevenson , left for the North at 6 o'clock this { evening and he declared his firm 1 belief that at least one of the defendants would be convicted. 1 Never has a case been fought on j such lines. Every wile known to the < legal profession, every kind of special < pleading and specious argument has f been made in behalf of these defnd- , ants. Theic are on all sides evidences I of a regular political campaign dur- i ing the months preceeding. and the I attorney general, the commission to ' wind up the affairs of the dispensary [i and the witnesses for the state have all have been pilloried, ridiculed and < abused in advance of this trial. The settling of these issues in the coutt room has been an uphill fight, and if the verdict be for the defend- i ants there will be no surprise. The : most powerful man on the Jury is | vat iously reported to have said only j a few days ago that he would not j convict any of the defendants, and j the local attorneys for the prosecution j have by some persons been critized , for allowing the attorney general , to permit certain men to go upon the i? y- . . But the array of evidence produced j by Mr. Lyon and Mr. Stevenson, the wonderful argument of Mr. Abney on the law of conspiracy and the powerful address before the jury by Mr. Stevenson should be sufficient to create a reaction in favor of the prosecution. The attorney general's argument before the jury was the best effort of that kind he has ever made, no oratory, but convincing presenj tation of facts, but it was not such a rivit-clinching speech as that of Mr. Stevenson. The local attorney, Jos. G. McLure, representing Solicitor Henry, in a quiet and unimpass'oncd manner, made an argument to the jury this morning which carried great weight. He did not denounce the alg.-jftprctf ijlJiiV "Ml 1 dr^TS? tTuT ne snowed by homely illustrations how facts proved the existence and operations of the plunderbund. The attorneys for the defense indulged in earnest appeals to the jurors and from their viewpoint, with no evidence submitted by their side on which to argue, the lawyers made effective speeches. As samples of oratory these speeches were complimented. The speakers on the respective sides in the order in which they appeared were: For the defense, J. H. Nelson opened Thursday with brief and effective statement of the case in five minutes; John M. Wise of the Chester bar today spoke forty-five minutes; M. R. Howell of ^alterboro, R. H. Welsh of Columbia andA. L. Gaston, of Chester, were other speakers. For the prosecution B. L. Abney, in an hour and 55 minutes, expounded the law in such an address as the court house in Chester has not heard in many a year. He was followed by Jos. G. McLure, J. Fraser Lion and W. F. Stevenson closed in an hour and 15 minute' address. The defendants attorneys who did not speak were: F. H. Weston, W. T. Avcock, W. S. Nelson. J. Team Gettys. Mr. Abnev started in Thursday afternoon to speak about 30 minutes, confining his remarks to the law entirely. lie had carefully prepared 19 requests to charge and by the time lie had concluded he had spoken nearly two hours. This morning the defence opened the reply with John M. Wise addressing the Court, Mr. Wise made a clear and earnest address in which he commented upon the fact that this case ought not he brought to Chester county and put the taxpayers to the expense of hearing a trial which belonged to Richland. He grew exceeding wroth at the idea of a redheaded Yankee" like John Marly coming down here and testifying against some of our own prominent citizens. That attack on John Karly gave the prosecution a cue on which to hand a powerfut argument, namely, that in liquor drinking and money borrowing limes John was a fine fellow, all right and it came with had grace from the attorneys of Karly's beneficiaries to [ all him names now. Following the homely style and manner of liis partner. Solicitor Henry, now ill at home, Mr. McLine proceeded to take the jury into his confidence, lie explained that this whole matter wsa new to him and his only knowledge of the ease was the testimony as it developed from day to-day and it hud convinced him that the charges in the indictment were true. He urged he jury not to get excited over the kvord conspiracy. The matter is very simple. There may he a conspiracy to rob an apple orchard its well its to rob a State or to end a kingdom. Mr. Howell, of Colleton then nade ; .vhat was regarded by many as the irineipal speech for the defense. He ittacked themethods of theprosecUion n granting immunity to some and rushing so vigorously the cases of >thers. He also flayed the witnesses or the prosecution. In reply, Attortey General Lyon said lie would not e side'traded by suc^^^^Hresi, ut be stated that thei^^^Hl no )undation in facf for thfl^^Hpidoes gainst himself.

Hampton, Geifitrame* Conner, granted immunity tAAp conipirators in order to catch^Hsthlrd, ind that this had been donHHVjother >ccasions. As to why theflM| had lad not been tried in Richlanft rounty le cited the manner in which the case tad been handled by a Rhhlaad couny Jury. The venue of this Laae was n Chester as well at In Richmnd. Mr. Lyon said that the work ofMe last our years had been a burd? and a >*ery distasteful duty, andB/s was rlad to place this burden MSn the marts of the jurors. W In a remarkable piece jf word minting, R. H. Welch madi a horrlible caricature of Jos. B. Wylie. He rnlled the state's witness Is Judas, said he had of deliberat?~purpose 3unk to the level of a commbn thief md had the greed of a monster with the lack of morals of a fatherless andj motherless waif. He spoke powerful-; ly of the manner in which Wylie had "betrayed his friends." Mr. Welch's address no doubt made a strong impression on the Jurors, but after the dinner intermission W. F. Stevenson took up the debate for the prosecution. Inch by inch Mr. Stevenson fought over the testimony. He was particularly savage in denouncing i Black's banking methods. He declared that Mr. Welch had admitted th%. whole case when he said that Wjlie had betrayed his associates?in crime! Mr. Stevenson rediculed the idea that Black could have made $15,000 in one summer of live stock buslriess for live stock is not paid for until.the fall of the year and yet Black had a check for $5,000 for "live stock" sold to M. A. Goodman in August. And this was the Goodman to whom Black had paid or claimed to have paid the $25,000 he ngrafted from John Earley i March. Mr. Stevenson mingled humor with satire and exccorations persons with denunciation ar of particular crime and his logicjswayed the jury. He appealed for theVsonvlction of all three of the accused. The last speech in the caie was made by Authur L. Gaston of theater. Like some of heis predecgg^^&he made an eloquent speech, but have been difficult to have was on trial, the attorney and the dispensary commlsslc^^HB men accusedq^^jg?w^|^^^H Murray of that commTsfl^HW^yp? crlte in the garb of a saint, who had come befor the Jury lying land a party to this diabolical schemi hatched up against his clients. ,He denounced Dudley and Roy and) Earley and spoke of Samuels as a whitelivered coward. It was alsb quite evident that he did not like his fellow townsman, Jos. B. Wylie, whom he denounced severely. Judge Moore charged the Jury for an hour and a half, discussing the 19 regucst made by Mr. Abney. The judge was impartial, but under hii charge it would be difficult indeed to render a virdict of not guilty. How Black Was Convicted. Chester Reporter. There were some magnificent speeches in the graft cases last week; but the public is agreed that it was the intensely forceable speech of Mr. Stevenon, perhaps, more than any other that made the conviction of Black possible. Mr. Stevenson rehearsed the evidence item by item, to the jury; there was not one piece or particle missing. His irony went true to the mark and laid bare the rottenness.
