Editor Prens and Standard—U have no hobby, nor am I a crauk though I would like tobe one in ,ihe sense that cranks are made to turn things. I would that I could turn every man in Sou h Carolina to the principles of prohibition. I would that I could turn every poor wretch who is a slave to strong drink and make him what hia wife and child ren would have him he. I would that j I could turn every grog shop, whether it be a respectable (?) disueosary or a dirty "blind tiger" upside down, empty ita contents inte the gutter, let it run to the nearest stream and let the fish and frogs get on a breeze. No I am not a crank but shall con tinue to advocate n principle which needs no argument but of its own force carries conv'etion to the heart of all who are unbiased. A principle that is founded upon justice nud right. Where do we stand? What are we doing to bring about the fruition of our long cherished hope? Who ia on the s'de of right? Let us be op and doing. Let us teach it. "precept ujk)u precept, line up >n hue,' heu- a little and flute a little." Let the press jo»n In the song aud wield the iuflneiicA of its power cm the side of right. Let the pulpit take up the chorus from the mountains to the sea that all who can be reached may hear. Let the teachers sing the glad refrain and work into <hu foundation of oar citizenship such safeguards as will shut out the conmmiuating influence of pres ent conditions. And when the great end is achieved all will have won a vie-, lory for which our fathers fought.

The second week of coart copvened this marring and the entire day, Mon day was taken up in the trial of 8am Matthews, for murder. The case had previously been tried, resulting in a mis trial The jury returned a verdict of guilty for man slaughter with recom mendation for mercy. The aentence was ten yenrs on the chain gang. When court couvened this morning, J. G. Padgett, Esq. asked tor a contin uance of the Price murder triat, w hich was set for today, on account of the physical Inability to continue the trial. ^ This was followed by a request lor a continuance of almost every case sat for trial by other attorneys, consequently juror* were dismissed and court ad jourhed sine die. Dbpensiug justice wifh a thermome ter p!s)iog around the 100 mark, is too waim lor our court offlciala. After the adjournment of court, Judge Gary bea'd a number of appeal cases, and graated motion for bail for aeveial prisoners in jail. At the opening of court this morning Solicitor Jervey m«de the following statement, he said "I have been request ed to make a short statement in order to remove an impreeeion which eeeme to have gone abroad promleoously. When the cnan of the peneion fraud wes dis posed of the other dav, I made a tow remarks eouiKcted wit ft the history of the case aad I am informed that the impression has gone abroad, or was im plied, from what i said that the County Pr»*ion Board had reported to me that the ease wee a weak oae aad that they had not suffloieat^proof against the defendant aad thtt induced me to lake the etep I did in nol proesdog the oaae.

The question of going into Lhar leston county is being actively dis enssed and while I am conservative^ 1 think if old Colleton wants to keep this part of her family, she'd better be np and doing, for they say we shall derive many benefits if we become a part of Charleston county, viz, good roads, long school term, com for tabl« and well equipped school house, representation in our legisla tive halls, and last but not lesit, leas taxes, which I imagine, is the great est inducement, for the pocket took is the Anterioans heart ao tb» French man says. * - More Anna.
