t AN OLD CASE RECALLED.
^
IOorbett Case Stirs Memories of One
Equally Interesting.
The case of the state vs, Corbett
decided yesterday by the state supreme
court and the circuit judges
of the state sitting en banc recalls
another interesting case somewhat
related to it by reason of the application
of the old common law maxim
-11?A - ?~ ? ha tiriao nil t in
r I.II til a mail- utuuui. ?."?w r ?
jeopardy of his life for the same offence.
That is to say, if a man has
been acquitted of a murder oharge
he cannot be tried the second time for
it.
The old case in mind is that of the
etate vs. McKee. The human interest
details aretgiven in Cuthbert's Life of
I Rev. Richard Fuller, I). D. The final
i decision of the Court of Appeals as
given by Justice J. B. O'Neal wi^l be
found in Vol. I Bailey's Law Reports
(17 S. C. Law)!
Dr. Richard Fuller, one of the most
Dnntic4 minlatapo nf fho
U101CUU juaytioi- 'UiiUiabWAo vi v**v
south, was educated for the law. He
was graduated*from Harvard in 1824
and entered upon the practice of his
profession in his native town of Beaufort.
Associated with him was his
first cousin, Stephen Eliott. An interesting
later development is that Eliott
;t also entered the ministry and became
the Episcopal bishop of the state of
Georgia.
? Circumstantial Evidence Strong.
It is said that the McKee case had
w much to do" with the abandonment
br' r>f fhft law hv Puller. Francis R. Mc
Kee was charged with the murder of
I a slave. The circumstantial evidence
I wa9 strong. Fuller was reluctant to
take the case even though he acknowledged
that It was the lawyer's
duty to defend when called upon and
that every man was presumed to be
A innocent until proven guilty. McKee
I finally won him over by showing him
? a hatch of letters from the young lady
to whom he was engaged to be married.
Fuller said afterwards he could
not believe any man could be guilty
of so foul a crime who., could arouse
such sentiments of devotion in the
bosom of a pure young woman as was
evidenced in this case.
The case came on for trial at CoosaA
%
hatchie, the judicial capital of that
% district, the first scene of the labors

f evidence was heard and Fuller concluded
his argument just before the
noon recess. The court announced
the noon recess and while this was
being held the solicitor heard the
foreman of the jury Temark that he
would never consent to see a white
man hanged for the murder of a
slave. Immediately oh the resumption
of the court the solicitor instead
of proceeding -with his argument, told
iin "fco,* tn fho winrt and i
nuaw auu uviuu w v?v . ?
| the foreman was asked if it was true.
He answered in the affirmative. The
I solicitor *fcben announced that he
would nol pros the case, remand the
prisoner to jail and try him b&fore a
r new jury. Puller objected and made a
& motion for a direction of a verdict of
|i acquittal. The presiding judge ruled
. against young Puller, but on appeal
t to the Court of Appeals Puller won
i this point and his client was ordered
. released, the concluding paragraph
of Justice O'Neall reading:
TThe solicitor having entered a
nolle prosequi, after the Jury werr
charged, and they being discharged
without any lawfnl cause, upon which
r , the prisoner can be remanded for
; trial a second time, it follows that he
" > is acquitted.
"The motion, is therefore, granted,
and the prisoner forever acquitted of
the said oflense and discharged from
prison."
John J. and Colcock, Jr., concurred.

K part of Florida.
R After Dr. Fuller entered the minisn
try it is said that he was attending
H a country church on one occasion and
B heard a soldier named Goss give some
IB account of his experiences in the FlorB
Ida Indian wars. In the course of
his remarks Goss said: "The most
H. strange, sharp, shocking sound I ever
BBfl heard was that caused by a bullet
aBM striking and crashing into a man's
skull. I heard it in our first batHHHtle
with the Indians in the EverKMraJklades.
The very first shot fired by
Hike enemy, lying in ambush, pierced
forehead of the man lying next
UBHBne and his brains were scattered
fl9H^H|^kiy face." One of the listeners
glflm^essly asked, "Did you know the
I" The soldier's reply was: "I
Tiim well, and a greater villian
lived. He was from Beaufort
is name was Francis R. McKee."

HANDLING OF COTTON.
Clarence Poe Tells How Dumping and
Careless Selling Affects Price.
"The selling and dumping of cotton
by individual growers, under present
conditions, is one of the greatest
conceivable 'bear* forces on the
cotton market. It is one of the
strongest possible forces for breaking
prices every fall on every pound of
cotton we sell."
So writes Clarence Poe, member of
the organization committee of the N.
C. Cotton Growers Co-operative association.
In further developing his
idea, he says:
"Suppose a farmer has good middling
cotton that is really worth at
the time it is offered 21 cents a
pound. Suppose a buyer says to him,
'I will give you 17 cents for your cotton.'
Suppose the farmer finally gets
19 cents. Then when another farmer
comes along with good middling, Mr.
Buyer says: 'Well, I have just bought
a bale as good as yours for 19 cents,'
or 'We are paying 19 cents for this
grade today.' The result is that the
second farmer is likely to take 19
cents also. And so on with other
farmers who come to the market. And
the same depression in prices is forced
by all other buyers of the less
scrupulous sort. (Of course there are
ipany buyers who want only a fair
profit, hut the farmer cannot discriminate.)
"Now, what happens further? The
average price paid for cotton on that
market that day is reported. Then
the average for all grades is seen to
be considerably lower than standard
market prices. Consequently, word
goes out that farmers are letting
cotton go at such and such a price;
why pay more? And on a thousond
Markets over tne scum, every uo.y,
there is more or less this tendency to
'bear prices.' The average price paid
for cotton 'basis middling' in each
market is reported and the cumulative
result is highly important. For
New York, New Orleans and Liverpool
betting is simply betting on the
price at which the farmer will turn
loose his cotton, and when he is
known to turn it loose .at less than the
standard figure, all prices drop accordingly.
"In other words, the cotton marketing
business today is dominated
by buyers,- and it is to the average
buyer's interest to get cotton as
cheaply as he can. In actual practice,
*
LUCrKi'Uro, it VCijr '5i cat yi nun ui
our cotton buyers become 'bear' influences,
beating down prices in the
ways just suggested.
"On the other hand the strong capable,
[highly efficient selling agencies
for co-operative' marketing associations,
would become one of the most
powerful 'bull' influences, an influence
for maintaining and boosting
cotton prices. It will be to the interest
of these co-operative marketing
representatives to see that cotton sells
not as low as possible, but as high as
possible, for they will be hired by the
farmer, and responsible to the farmer,
and the higher the prices they get
for the farmer, the more certain will
they be of continued employment and
*good salaries.
"At a risk of a little repetition,
let's sum up the whole matter this
way:
"Under the present system .the
main, voice in naming cotton prices is
that of the cotton buyers. They are
the keenest, best informed, best financed
and most resourceful group
in the cotton marketing game.' And
it is to the interest of the average
buyer to get cotton cheaply as he can.
Consequently he becomes naturally
and inevitably a 'bear' influence, and
the cotton prices suffer accordingly.
"Under the co-operative marketing
system on the other hand an equally
conspicuous factor in the markets
will be the selling agent, employed
^ ATVAWO f 1TTA C* rtl 1 1 T* CT
Uy LUC laiuicis LU-U yciauvc ociinj-t)
association?selling agents who will
be just as keen, just as well-informed,
just as resourceful, and just as
"well financed as cotton buyers are
now. It will be to the interest of
these selling agents to sell cotton as
high as they can, and by knowing the
full market price for every pound of
higfli grade that is offered, the cooperative
marketing association will
become the most permanent 'bull' influence
the cotton market has ever
known, the most powerful agency for
holding up prices, and preventing
their depression by unwise and ignorant
selling.
"In short, the present system oi
selling cotton is a 'bear' system that
undoubtedly forces down cotton
prices below the proper level every
vear that comes. The co-operative
... . .
marketing system will t>e a "Duir sysi
tern that will prevent the selling oi
! cotton below its real worth and .there!
by become a factor to hold up oi
j boost prices every season that comes
j "Which system should farmers
j choose."
