UP TO OUR JURORS.
Much is being said over the eour-
try just now about the kind of jury
service being given by jurors in the
discharge of their duties. A great
deal of this is not complimentary to
the individual juror, or the juty
system in general. This is due to
munerous miscarriages of justice in
the trial of cases. Criminals are ac
quitted when they should be convict
ed, and so much is done in violation
of justice and a proper penalty for
the acts of persons guilty of crime
that it is getting to be commonly
talked that justice is never done in
oar courts. Now the remedy for
this lies stfthe door of the jurors,
both grand and petit, and other
court officials. This passing on the
question of the guilt or innocence of
the accused is a responsible duty for
a juror, and a most honorable office
to perform.
Knowing this, and believing in
maintaining the honor and integrity
t
of our courts of justice, we trust
our jurors and court officials, from
lowest to highest, will not allow any
verdict at this term of court for
Colleton county, that will reflect
upon its integrity. Crime must be
suppressed. There is too much
disregard paid to established law
and order in this county, and it is
the function of our courts to cor
rect this growing disregard for the
rights of others. Let our jurors
sericously consider their oaths, and
do their full duty towards making a
respect for all law in this county.

TO THE PUBLIC.
I desire to say that I hear of many
false and malicious statements made
in reference to my candidacy for the
legislature, which I desire to contra
dict, So far as the stock law ques
tion stands, I am in favor of the peo
ple in each township, or portions of
each township if they can territorri-
ly do so, to settle this question for
themselves.
So far as the road law stands, I am
of the same opinion in reference
thereto as expressed above in refer
ence to the stock law.
For the reason, that I desire the
will of the people made known to
me, and hold that a member of the
legislature should endeavor to the
utmost to carry out that will as ex
pressed to the servant who goes out
to serve them. •

In so far as I am charged with be

sire simply to refer you to the voters
of my section, where I have been a
magistrate for about ten years, to
answer the same, who repeatedly re
turn me to said office.
I stand the same on any and all is
