J. li. Copcliind being duly swora says.
M r. Orter started an aouount at my
atme on the 26r h dny of February, 1882,
and gave me a lien upon bin crop for
eighty-five dollurs; Mr. Carter, how
ever. owed rue a note for $02.U8 balance
on previous year's btrameiw, which wns
aecured by the bill of sale of March Pth,
1882. On (he 21 at day nf July, 188:1,
the lien for eighty-five dollar* was ex
hausted and I refused to advance any
further without further security, where
upon Mr. Carter executed the bill of oulc
of July 21st, 1883, for one hundred and
fifty dollar*. Mr. Carter paid all hi* ac
count leaving a balance of £.'»(). U) uu-
paid. In the fall of 1884 I scut to Mr.
Darter p nr a settlement and ho wrote me
« letter, (which vu* submitted). Jn a
few diy* Ik- came up uud a .-Led about hi*
m'ouiit had brought mo a letter from
Mr. Fairy ntuinig (but he would pay me
.seventy live dollars for Mr. (’alter. This
seventy'live dollar* was appWe 1 hy roe to
the piy ment of the note of $(>2 38 ond
the remniuder I placed to credit of his
aceounr. This pay ment was appli d with
the full consent of Mr. Carter. AVlmt
goods I sold Mr. Car cr afier July 21st,
1883, were sold to him under the secu
rity of that date. Mr. Carter at (he tiimr
the ITo.OO were paid promised to pay
the balance soon, but never paid it. 1
never proposed to distress Mr. Carter
W'ltlTe he ttVcd ibd had 1 known of 1rw
death I would Imre token the property
at once As soon .as I beard of Mr.
Carter’s death I at euce sent a p. rty to
take tire pn-purty into his cus'ody but
failed to find it; he was searching two
or three days. 8omc few days ukr that
Mr. T. J. Counts, Jr., told me that he
knew where the property was and that
one C. P. Robinson, colored, had the
horae in his postession and was working
down here near the river. 1 thereupon
deputised Aaron Kite to go aud take the
horae. lie fi-und it and brought it in.
I never knew that Mr. Williams was in
any way connected with the horse or this
ease up to the time a deputy came to
aeixe the horse under a search warrant.
At this point Dr. Stccdly asked 31 r.

evewng tbs fcuiH of r ,,<1
rikI otherwise, and all oifcusiv<yiaiigu.ige
ngaiust Mr. Copeland and oiske friends.
To which Mr. Williams replied that not
ody did he withdraw oil leijal proceed
ings nod offensive language but Imd he
understood (he case as lie now docs and
had be not believed that Mr. Copeluud
bad been influenced by other parlies be
wsuld not have commenced it.
Mr. Copeland deo’cd having been in
fluenced by anybody in this trun.-aetiou,
had friends in the transaction.
The ciaaiiiiation was continued a*
follow*:
Cross-examined by 3Ir. Willianrs—
Mr. Fairy wrote me a letter that be
would pay me the $7-’>.00 for Carter. It
was not a dr„f, I hr Id the letter for
some time afterwards when Fairy paid
ras the 175.00. I returned him his let
ter. I remember a couversatioa I had
with Fairy. He told me he had come tc
pay mo ilie money tbr Carter and asked
me for the bill of tutle uud 1 refused to
give it to bim. '1*1101* was nothing said
iu ItU letter about giving the bill of rale
up. When 1 refused to give him the
bbl of sale be said it mad* oo differcucc
as he was going to take a mortgage on
real estate to secure him anyhow I hold
no note against Carter now and $50.40
is all he owes me now. I gave Carter a
receipt tor seventy-five dollar* on account
of note and account when lie brought me
the letter of Fairy, did not tell Fairy
why-I refused to give him the bill of sale
but there was very little said «ud he gave
me the money right off. I do not know
why F*iry paid me the money. Carter
told ore that Fairy would pay mo the
balance bo owed uud loaned bim th« mo
ney only for the kind fueling lie had for
him ; the second bill of sale had nothing
at all to do with the first one. The fir»t
mortgage covered th* note he owed roe.
I would not hare tukcq the second hill of
sal* had he not exhausted the lien. J I
suppose the horse was worth fn-m $75
to $100 when Fairy paid me the money.
1 did not tell Fairy that 1 bad given Cur -
ter all his papers. I told Fairy that I
gave Carter ull the papers that was nec
essary, in fact, I staled that I bad given
him his note; h*d but very little talk
with Fairy, When Carter gave mu the
not* to dune hia account he went right
on trading and it wu understood that I
Held the bill of sale to cover what be
bought of me thereafter.
\v. A. Riley states that he keepe
books for J, D. Copeland ; bus been do
ing so siute January 1883. ( alter owed
no amount to Copeland early iu tbu year;
Copekmd hod a lien on Carter’e crop f*r
$85.00.' in July afterwards we took a
bill of sals during Copeland’s absence:—*
Carter came Bar more goods and as his
lien was exhausted I required- bim to
give tbe bill of solo over His sorrel horso;
bill of sale was lor something over |100
I think, ( did uot know whether Cope
land had a bill o$ sale over the same
horse previous; was present when Fairy
.Copclmad some money; cannot re-
call what passed between Fairy and Cope-

tain day he lurd to have eitlrcr the horse
or the money at Bamberg, flo raMM
that the «l«im against the horae was some
sixty odd dollars, but did not know what
tire Interest would make it. Carter
seemed to be iu a great deal of dUtrea*.
1 told him I did not have the money but
if Copiland would writ w lew do}'" l
would arrango i»-. I told him I would
give him a letter to Copland if he would
wait a few days I would take it up. I
wrote Copeland that if he would wait a
few days 1 would take tho claim against
the hoi sc up 1 received * letter from
Cppobuttl that it would be nil right and
that he had taken a draft from Carter
on me for seventy-five dul ars. Orn-r
did give Copeland a draft on me fur $75
and! paid it. I was to hold the moil-
gage over the horse until I got other se
curity. When the draft became due I
came up aud asked Copeland. He said
yes and I p-'dd it. After I paid Copeland
the money I asked him for the paper*
and he said he had receipted them aud
given them to Carter, told Copeland
that I ha-1 calculated oo hoviug the
mortgages transferred to me. Copeland
tohl me he had receipted the papers and
given them to Carter. Copeland at-ked
me if 1 was not to get other secaiity. I
told him ye*; we did not have much
talk about it. I wits to get a mortgage
of real estate but Carter il.edsoon there
after. I understood that Carter had
•rotten all the pa;»cr.* belonging to him.
I thought 1 wa* buying the claim over
the horse ; I would not hare loaned tho
money .f I had not thought 1 wu* getting
some show for it. I thought l was to
get the mortgage over the horse 1
wrote f/opeluod 1 wouldtake up the claim
over the hinse.
Crosa-exauiined—I keep no copy of
letters I write; the letter was written
*ome time in January ; I urn not posi
tive when it was ; it was some day* be
fore the receipt on the draft dated. I loan
out money fr^qjaiMitly and take security
for tho money. J canurt teool.ect the
details ol transactions *ix or eight months

tho claim over the horse if he would wait
ihiity or sixty days aud authorized Car
ter to draw ou me for the amount ; did
not write Copelaud I would pay him the
money when I emne up; I don’t know
whether Fstated any amount or not —
Carter promi-'cd to give me a mortgage
on real estate. He first wanted me to
take only tho mortgage over the hor e
but I would uot do it. 1 bad tho draft
of Carter’s on me up here some time
’ago but have miqdact d it now. I paid
Copehuul the money liefote I asked for
the bi‘l of sale; knew nothing of any
claim against the horse except the bill of
sale. When 1 heard CopeUmj had lev
ied on the horse lately 1 thought he was
fighting under my morignga aud for me.
Copsload told me he had receipted Car
ter’s papers and had given them to him
when he said that we were talking of his
claim o'er the horse it being the only
claim I knew anything about. I told
Copeland I was to get a mortgage over
real estate to secure me. I considered the

J. W. Hill bad ibr mortgage to collect
at the time Mr. Fairy paid ms the
money, and bail up to the time short

Hill had tbe mortgages simply because
I knew they were safe and possibly I

er wrote Copeland that the mortgage
wag to be transftrrcd to me but wrote
bim I would take it up. When I hilled
to Cbpehmd about the papers I meant
tbe note and mortgage aud supposed he
meant the same.
Mr. C. li. Carter states' I know Mr.
J. 1). Copelaud. My lather's name was
Jos. T. Carter; he is dead. Last spring
my brother and myself were at Bam
berg making arrangements for suppites.
31y brother had dealings with Copeland
leiore und thought wt could make ar
rangements with him again. Wu met
Copeland near the Railroad and he told
him be coidd not tell him then; he
thought he had shout us many as he
could carry but to wait a little while and
if ho saw a chance later he would cer
tainly do it; that he had boen pretty
punctual with bim so fur in bis dealings
aud that the old debt hud been settled by
Mt. Fairy of branchville about a hapse.
Mr. Copeland toll mo that he had told
the old gentleman that ho might rest
contented that there was noth'ng now
agamt bis horse, that Mr- Fairy hud
settled it and that he owed him nothing
now excepting a debt of $26, for which
h« taken hi* note payable in October.—
At tltAt time I suppose the horse wue
worth about $75 00. This conversation
occurred after my ETtlicr’g death, I think
tbla conversation took place about the
last of February or flrst of March last,
my father died sometime In Jauuary,
Mr. Williams also introduced a in-rt-

Wauled—Cvminou sense.
It has been some considerable Utae
since I writ any for tbe beu« fit of the
pubilik for reasons, us the auctioneer
sed,‘too numerous to mention.’ But
I have been jiet bilin over all the same,
and storing up some few obevrvatioue,
hoping tbe time would come when
woide of wisdom, as the scripter says,
wott'd be like applet) of gold in pteter*
of stiver.’ I alut lived so long iu this
world for nntbiog.and every day con
Arms me, more ami more, that Job was
right when be sed : Great men are
not always wise,’ If any body doubts
that be *ed so, let 'em look iu tbe thir
ty second chapter aud uluth veros
which be writ, at least, I BU|*po#e be
did, but It ulnt easy now a daysioknl
kerlatu much about the Bible, seuce
those smart theologians have been ca
vortlug all over It, cutting out heiw
an I putting In yonder, revloiog aud al
tering to suit tbelr notion* as to wbat
the Lord bad ought lo have done at
the start. I think Its about time any
way for tbe world to come to au end
and let os make a new stall some
what e also, for Uiiuca, to my notion,
have got mightily tangled. Pears to
mu that vim all the learning uud ad
vancement iu the arts and sciences aud
profession*, among the lawyns, doc
tor , farmets and preachers, the more
knowledge people get the less common
use they have. - When all the UUulu-
tiu goes Is, good, hard, old fashioned
common sense goes out. This is ac
cording to the philosophy that no two
things parLkuiut iy opposite things, can
occupy tbe same space at the same
time. The trouble to-day to tbe laud is
ubtTbtit we ulnt got rhcbe&t country in
the world, because wo buve not that,
we aint got all the first class material
lying around, that rcttsouable people
need to build up a tnaidtial prosperity,
that would make tbe mouths of cur
northern blethering water to‘look -at
us’, but because we lack what JoeHteb-
bius wife sed he would be a tlranger
to tdil the inilleniiuu resurrection give
him a telt of new brains.’ The old
lady had a hen, which Joe told iter one
day iu the late spring, had ‘tuck the
nest.’ Being busy at the time, she
said : ‘Joe you git the aigs and set her,
and see what luck you'll have, mind
now Joe, aud you put a odd number-
odd numbers is allers lucky.’ Now, It
so happened, that the old Indy bfid a
lot of eggs In a box packet I In salt to
keep ’em sorter fresh so as to carry a
heap to th* store, to trade out at one
time, and there wax another lot In a
big calabash. So Joe thinking that of
course, a* the salt was to keep tbe
egg* ‘fresh’ they ought trs be fresher
tbau the others, iook a setting out of
tbe box-.- And so, the old hen, she sot
aud sot for several wofeks.aod finally,
when aH hope of petting any cblckenr

'Joe where did you git them alggs
