It paina me to know tbat be bae left ua, and croa*ed over the river where we all have to eras*; but I want to bear testimony to at least one honest and patriotic act In his good life, which I think it proper at this time to be brought before the minds of the people of Barnwell County, to refresh them as te what be did In the past. la the year 1077. the people of Aiken and Barnwell Countlea were put under in dlctmen’, and tried In the United States Court in Charleston for com plicity in what was called the * Ellen ton Kiote.” The people were lu the right; whet they did was patriotic and necessary at the lima. When the jury was drawn In the United dtatea Court, there were alx white men and fix col ored men on the jury ; among the white men was Lunsford Harley of WiilMton, and hi* every act was for the white people and for what he oonatdered right, and Just, and that through a period of six weeks trial, and be abould be given full credit for this act by the honest white men Reapectfullv D. 8.
