composed of seven men and fit* wo
men which tried fUm oe AibucV* on a

with the death of Vlrtflnla Hawo. was
discharged today when It was unable
to rt^rt't! ui>on u verdict.
The jury way brought into oouit at

disagreement and asked that It h*

August Frit**}, foreman of the jury,
l^ued a signed statement, tonight say.
lug that one of the women, jurors, who
was In the minority, refused to cou
ajder the evidence from the beginning
iiud declared that "she would cast her
ballot ami would not change it until
boil froBe over,"
There were two jurors who voted
for conviction , a^rdllW to FflUe,
Ills statement follows :
"I make this statement as a duly to
the public:
"There was a tacit understanding
that the members of the Jury would
t<o( make individual statements. 1
have leainicd since that h numl^r of
the jury have, however, done so. and
1 believe, as foreman, that it is well
for those interested In the administra
tion of justiw that the citizens or
H,u? Francisco should have the facts.
"Until Hell Froze Over."
"Tho ten members of the jury who
voted on the last ballot for acquittal,
felt that they voted on the evidence
fully considering It all. One of the
two minority refused to consider the
evidence from the beginning and sud,
Ut the opening of the pro. -ceding*, that
<he Would cast her Ijallot ami would
not change it until hell fi oze over. The
other was fluctuating, sometimes oilst
ins a blank banot-~sometlmes voting
for the defense and sometimes voting
for the "prosecution. -
??Considering all the evidence, it
seemed to us that the prosecution s
ease was an insult to tho intelligence
of the Jury. It adked us to substitute
conjecture for facts without showing
! what has been done, and asked us to
guess what might have been dono and
to guess only one way.
"Human liberty and American rights
should depend, not upon the guesses of
anybody, but upon evidence."

Winchester Rifle Inrailfd by Mao
Named WUm of CiMitor.
The Dillon Herald Ik authority for
this Ktory : "It may apt bo generally
known." remarked Mr. W. W. Rvans
in conversation with a Him aid man
about the woi id's groat Inventions,
''but the Winchester rifle whs invent
ed by u man of the name of Wiuty of
t'h.-K i. S <\. and tbut is how it got
i its mom*. It wan during the civil war.
Winn was a native of tester. He
iiicd to got the Confederates to use
the rifle in rbo civil war, but for some
unknown reason the head of the war
department did not seem to think
much of it and he turned Winn's -offer
down. Wiiiu then went north and dts*
posed of it to the Union army. The
rifle was usod against the Oonfed*
orates with deadly e.ffwt toward the
close of the civil war, When the war
was over northern manufacturers se
cured the patent rights und made a
tremendous fortune out of it,
.
; ; "And there was another useful ar
tli-Y in, vented by a South Carolina
man who lived nearer home. The old
turn plow was 0k> iproduot of the In
ventive genius of a Mr, Williamson
the father of Bright. Williamson
and Alelver Williamson of Darlltigtort
county. This was along about 1870.
Until then everybody used the old
shovel plow. Air. Williamson was a
largo planter and usod the most mod
ern methods of the day In carrying on
his farming operations. His son, Mc
Iver Williamson, also a largo plant
er, is the originator of the Williamson
method of growing corn. I don't think
Mr. Williamson ever patented tho turn
plow, but gave it as u contribution to
the advancement of the agricultural In
dustry. '?
"Although history gives him the full
credit, still KM Wbitney -was not the
Inventor of the cotton gin," continued
Q.-.
Mr Kvans. "He was the patentee, but
not the luveutor. Whitney, as history
(cache* ua. . wa*< a northerner -who
came clown here to teach school. Ho
taught near Hamburg, an old town on
this side of the Savannah river oppo
site the eity of Augusta. The real In
ventor of tlje cotton gin, strange as
it may seem, was an oM negro ? r. a
sla\?- Itefore the gin was iuvtmted
they used the old method of "rolling
out'' the lint cotton, This was a slow
process This old ne*ro conceived tho
idea of cutting nulls in the roflers
with the small1 ends pointing outward.
It was n jukvohs. The nails stripped
the lint from the seed with a great
deal less labor, Whitney saw the In
vention and built a machine with
brushes that would work agninst the
protruding nulls, and from this crude
affair he evolved the present day
cotton gin. It Us true that he ingproved
on the old negro's idea, but the Idea
of the eotton gin originated in the
brain of this old slavery darkey."
Smoking Meal After Curiiig.
Clemson College, Deo. ft.? Fallow
ing the instructions given recently on
curing meat by the brino method and
the dry method, the suggestions given
below on smoking meat after curing
may be of interest and vahie to many
farmers, says K. G. Goodbey, nssistnnt
professor of animal husbandry.
After the meat is cured, wash it
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
hang In tho smoke house for smoking.
Hang the pieces of meat so they will
not touch, but will i>ermit a free circu
lation of air. After the meat has been
hanging 24 hours, start the smoke
using hickory, maple or some hard
wood. Corn cobs will do, but they
give the moat a dirty arH>earanee.
Don't get the meat, too hot, I^et
the fire start sTowly and keep it well
smothered. Tbirtysix to 48 hours'
smoking is sufficient, but in hot wea
ther it is better to start the fire
