The People's Journa PICKENS S. C The county courtroom of St. Anne was crowded to the door. It was a sesemblage unprecedented oven in th country Where a trial for murder a ways exercised an irresistible faseini tion, and where the allurements of ok tinae florid oratory conrferd upon th :ourtlhouse something of elit status o a theater. Never before within the memory o those pres,'int. lul a white woial cow ered under he 'nace, of a possibli capital sentetce. 1Ideed, there lurke( som' Lriling tlonht :i to the proprietj of the cirt .,istunce now.

The crime itself was as thl :as his tory- the tragedy famniliar to everl stage of 1ife. In this iw tance its ti t mltis personat.' were of the I west typ -gross, igniorianlt andtl dbeliel. .lenn: IIaskell was (the was ward wife. -he husband Jim was the victim; and tl third figure was a handsome oyster man known alolng the tide water dis tricts as " M1i1 'i 'l1omci.,. It, had beci a murder sta titn!e 111 its primitive bru tality and had actluired full-pagi prominence in sensational Sunday pa pters 'IThe husbtand's brains had heei shot out one night whit he lay asleel by his wife's side. 'I here had been ito Ilouht as the id entity of the nurder(r. The circuml stantial evience was crushing and n addition the widow herself had fran tically denounced ''i tne as her hut band's slayer. Ilis t aal had been rc moved to the State ietropolis and af ter his sentence he had been taken t its jail to await the day set for hi execution. 'l'he reason for this wa putely prudential. St. Anne's wa pitifully poor and there was a grom ing ditpositon to retgard the expense of the court as ex(essive. The neigl boring county if Marthorough ha averted the cost of a similar trial by quietly ordered lynching, and ha t,oasted of its thrift, and there ha been some warrant in the fear that th examl-le might prove contagiou This had been three months befor, and the excitement had begun to sul side, 'ien a new seisation was creatt by the arrest of Ilaskell's relict as a accessory to the mir:ler, at the ii stance of \W illis Howard, the State attorney. lr. Howard was a man pr Iseworthy oolitical amuhit;on at had aehieved no little notoriety I reason of the conviction of h'lhom lie labored underi'i the itual mnisfortun however, of not having been borin the conniiy, and having inspired1 ti natives with ungenerous disposition associate his ztealous activity with tl Vpproachingr nommnation for Congrei it was the third day of the Haski trial and the interest was imtense. J indefinite rumor wasu abroad that t State's attorney had a trump card play and a thrill of excitement 5w( through the crowd as he arose to dress the court. Hie proplosed, he declared, to produi a witness who would testify to the questioned guilt, of the prisoner-. hier identitication wvith the " foul deed recorded in the criminal aun11 of St. Anne's."' Thon, as lie turi to where the woman-white, Pal *. strieken and abject- -e rouched bes her counsel, the wvhistle of an preaching locomotive sounded shr from aciross the river. Tfhe only Li scheduled for the day would not arn until night, and the comning of asp al was an event unparalleled. It1 lhke an "' effect" in the melodrama the throng waited breathlessly. in the intense stillness every sou; without was audible.--thze rumibling the train ; (lhe stoppaige at the stati( and the ring of the footsteps ont flaga that led from the road to L courthouse. An instant later the was an agitation about the enitrant and Thomie, the convicted murdere guarded by the oflicials of the city ja crossed the threshold. Thie womi uttered a half-suppressed shriek, at the State's attorney smiled blandl "i This is my witness, your honor,"' I explaimed. and then sonorously, ti( William TPhome."' The tension was acute as the mi took the standl. It wals evident in ii agitation of the kindly, patriarcha judlge; in the feverish alertness of it reporters; in the hungry interest of ti country folk, andlt even in the mn * blinking gaze of the negroes who hun over the rail at the rear in stolid beat tude. The prisoner was livid au stared apphealiinghy at, the witness. "Judge," began the latter showl, "~ i've been doimg a heap of t hinkill over t,his business since I've been set tenceed. It's laid heavy on my mir and when I foundl it could be fixed un. 50 1 could come and tell I was gla -There was one reason in particul v hy I was so glad." his eyes reste upon the prisoner an instant as 1 ~, spoke. ils look was steady and h voice, , while low, was per fectly di tinct. " She's told what she knew at she's brought me where I am," lhe col * tinued. " She's done her duty and I' ready to do mine. A man's got a dui even if he stands within the shade( of the gallows." The woman's couns glanced up quickly here--the p)hra was distinctly suggestive of Howar( rumbling periods. " And I'm going to tell all I know went on Thome, " and it's this." I paulied an instant and there was slight gnile upon his face as he ir the gaze of the prosecutor. " Nobot is. gilty for .the murder of Jim Ha~ kdA bxat'me--and she's as Innocent Mt. ?oward hitnself." ? The crqwd was fairly stunned I this unexbected declaratida. Thi aiytbing less tha~n an Incrlijtinatin diadlosure was to follow had -been uz I dreamed of. All eyes instinctively - sought the State's attorney. ''hat oillcer wsv on his feet wild with dis comflturo and rage. is Do you mean to. say," he had ' furiously begun, when his words were - lost as the voice of Thome rang throuii the hall like a trumpet. $ " It isn't what you expected, is it, Mr. Lawyer lloward? You thought fbecause she told the truth about mu f you'd get me here to maybe swear her life away. And you thought your bribes would mnake mhe do it. Why, I s judge, this man offered 1me iiy life to u go back on her. Ile told me he could I Jt handle the (Governor like a child and c I- that he'd make him sign a pardon I if I 'd say she put me up to do it. As I I. if twenty lives and pardons could make 1 e rue do that." Then lie turned toward t f the jail oticals. ' I am done," hee said, "s we might as well go back." f The assemblage was quiet for a mo. I -wment and then someone with a finer I 3 appreciation of dramatic effect t,an i I decorum proposed three cheers and the hail rang with instant clamor. It was I an uproar too vast for the efforts of the court ollicials to suppre9s. It was 1 1 the glorification of what was regarded as undoubted perjury and of a convict i ed murdorer----but of one who had be I come, a hero because despite all bribes, - he had shielde(I and screened the woman who had betrayed him. She did not even give him a glance as he was led out. 1Ier whole soul was concentrated in the expression of smiling insolence with which she fa. vored the outraged prosecutor. It was a smile that later became a badge of triumph as the twelve good men and true delivered the verdict of acq uittal that enabled her to leave the %tourt room---an Innocent Proclaimed. It should be added, however, that there was a disposition to enlarge upon the theme of ingratitude among the groups that delayed to gossip in the courthouse yard and that in the evening the gentle men of the jury called upon the vinli cated widow and suggested the alvishi lity of her prompt departure from St. Anne's. And two weeks later the county seat again became a Mecca. It was the (lay set for expiation, and the natives had begun to jog into town hours be fore sunrise. There was something more than mere morbid curiosity in the throng that clustered about the little jail yard, and swarmed over the hill side at its rear, and the belief that Thome in his last scene would prove worthy of the prest,ige he had earned was full realized. It was a crowd that a lingered thoughtfully long after justice d had been done and that nodded ap provingly at an observation of the sheriff's. " Gentlemen,'' said that utlicer, it I do not propose to deduce any morals on this sad occasion, but what 1 do in tend-is to be present at the burial.'' - IT IS L.ACK OF KN lVI.1',Du, The kguorance I'revnalent at td the North inl Regard to tIe i. South. M Ir. Win. P. Calhoun, of ( reenville, .C., contributes the following timely to article t,o the Augusta (2Chronichl: se It Is very annoying to tihe p)eople of Sthe South to see how little our Nort.h 1ern and Western people know about, us. It is not, strange that men living in the backwoods of the N orth and WVest to should show ignorance of the South an lis)eople; butt, itsurpasseshu man understai'ding to account, for t4,e cewant of knowledge, mi soine cases Samounting to actual ignoranlce, among well iniformed Norlthernl antd WVestern alphress and Southierni meon know more1 of ied the N orth and W est, as a rule, than ie- t.he latter know of' the for'mier, and1. can write and speak more int.elligently of Northern and Western men01 and mat ters. Yet, our wvell inforied friends iand nilIeighibors5 of the North aund West asum i super'iorit,y over us that. is 3ci - very amusing. They interfere in our vasfairs and1( act.ually dictate to us. ini so1 doinig L.hey only t oo often show their want of knowledge of the South. Somec of our Northedrn 11en1 anid paper01s "acan give about, as good a descripi on of of the South and its peop1)1 as the lit ' tce boy (lid inl his 'ompIjositonI abouit he tihe horse, wvhich in substance was that be0 the h(orse wa's a very useful1 animal re wvith one leg at each cornier, a tail on 0, 01)e end andI a head on the other. r, We are a useful p)eop)le n sonme ro il, spIects, it is admitted, but, generally m~ speaiking we are a lot, of ignoi amuhses d( that have no idea howv to conduct our Y- own aiffairs. Th'e foregoing has boon 10 recently emphasized ini the miatt.er of Ithe stat.us of the negro at the South and how we ought to treat and( man. n' age him, and in whlich great ignlorane 0 as8 to the fact,s in the ciise are shown. Oi ur superior fellow citizens are at 10 timnes dogmatic and intolerant anid Sknow the facts better thanl we 00; and they ask us to " toe " their mar'k. I g have come to the conclusion that most I- Northern men and newspapers are in di need of a Southern mani to dlirect them, and each paper shiold provide 6 itself with an intelligent Sout,heirn man g in its sanctum to tell it somnething1 iabout the South whlen its editor do (I sires to direct or crit,icise us. In that P way so many evidences of want of I knowledge would not appear. ir 1t seems incredible that an intelli. ii genit man in New York, twenty--four i. hiours from Greenville, should be so is little Informed about matters inl South s- Carolina and in the South generally as (I Is some times the case. Last winter, 'an intelligent man from Providence, RUft. 1., caine to Greenville on his first yvisit South. He came with a friend w who had been South many times and eh knew our people and our climate. He se stated to the writer that he had had I's trouble to make his friend bring an overcoat, with him, he claiming that he ," knew all about the Southern. climate Jo and that an overcoat would not be a needed. Oni reaching Greenville, that et, wise man found the weather very cold, ly and he was surprised beyond measure. s HIe thought that it was all "summer" is here, lHe had never dreamed that the thermometer some times went ddwn y to aero and even below, lie wrote mt that news back home as a great dis. g covery just made by him in advance of . all other enporers. The fact that ..m had deep enow hero was a wonderful revelation to him. All along the line you will find the same unaccountable ignorance on the part of Northern and Western men bout the South. Before the North and West under- t lake to criticipe and direct the South s and in order that they may write in elligently of us, they must banish an- v ient and preconceived ideas about the I South. A small amount of research a Vould put the North in possession of v he real truth. Now comes the Ogden '1 lducational league, full of good in- ( entions and philanthropy, with a b cheine to spread education among the r( enighted masses of the South regard- I ess of race and color. The lengue nueans well but its movements show hat it has no intelligent idea of the it.uition as regards the two races. 'lhe If'orts of the league will do far more arin than good by reason of the fact a hat it does not, know how to direct ti is movements and efforts. The league Ii iould come here and study the situa ion antI consult with men conversant a with it, men who would tell it, plainly s hat the Southern people will stomach i o scheme, however plausible, that ,ontemplates mixing the Caucasian tnd the negio in any way. If the s eague understood the situation, it n would not have held a love feast at the, t University of (corgia and then atraight,way held another at Tuskegee, t the school of Booker Washington. In- 1 i,ance after instance could be shown on the above lines showing how little our Northern and Western friends and I neighbors know of us and our affairs, i t,houghts and inclinations. A ROMANCH OF CALI,FODRN1A Generni tl Slhelrrini' SwC t elthert Waited in Va1 U pon 1 If IN P'ronuise. Monterey, once the capital of Cali. fornia, contains many ancient build inigs, 0dobe houses and bits of history. Overlooking the intensely-blne bay is the old Spanish custom house, with the very flagstaff of historical signill cance. This building was originally erected by the Spanish, and afterwards successively added to by Mexico and the United States. The building is two story, with wide overhanging eaves, and its creamy-white plastered walls contrast pleasantly with the dull red titles and mossy shingles of the roof. There is a cool, shady porch running along the front, where fisher men are wont to mend their nets, or lounge about smoking or telling yarns. Oin a little back street is a tumble down building, very long and narrow, with the old stage upon which Jenny Lind sang in 1851. Back among the pines is San CUarlos Mission, built by Junipero Serra in 1770, in which may be seen the church ornaiunts and the priests' robes wrought in gold and sil ver embroidery. These and many other historic places could be mention ed, but most, interesting is the house where Mercedes (astro was wooed by (en Sherman. More interesting be cause she still lives her solitary life behind thn high, vhitewashied, tile covered stone0 wall which shuts in her ilower garden fromi (lie street. and t,he ey es ol tihe It.,o c rious5. lanly years5 ago NIericedes (Castrio wais a hap11py and1( beaultiful Iyoung Spanish girl, thie helle of Mont11erey.

IIler loving,f trust, ing nature had implicit faith in him, and he worshiped at, the shrine of her beauty. Oni a certaml evil day he was ordleredl lEast, and when lie told her they must, part her heart was almiost broken. TLo somewhat lessen her grief lie p)lant.ed a small slip of irose bush, known as the t2loth ol Gold, at thie left of her doorway, andit, covering it, with earth, smd:l " W hen this rose hush blooms I wIll retur'n and make Mier cedes Castro my bride.'' Years passedi, the little rose slip flourishedl aiid t,wined its beautiful braniches arounid l.he l atticedl 'rbor. hiercedes livedi happ)Iily wv ih her mioth er, tiniking always8 trustfnilly of her sweethieart. Al ways fond of flowers, (lie roise climedIijC her conistanit aittenltji. Al. hist she thought she saw some buds(1, and( eveni with her careful watch mug the peitals seemedC( to unlfohl before she knew into golden-yellow blossoms, just as if they hadi' beeni touched by some1 of the sun's rays. Still she wait ed expectanitly (lay b>y (day. How 50oon was her young heart made to feel the pangs of sorrow, for he in wvhom she had such plerfect faith had easily forgotten his promiise so thought, lessly given? Gen. Sherman retulrned to Mfonterey when the rose bush81 bloomed, but, lie brought wIth him his American wife. Again years passed, Mercedles Castro wals niow a woman111 aind devoted to her nothier. Many suitors souIght her innd(, but none received her favor. At ast came oneO of her own race who had I dlifferenlt aspect from the others, andl " e0 loved her so long and so truly that i he almost relented, but decided0( to re cir it to her mother. The elder lady, ot being desirous of losing her daugh- t or, stronigly objected. So Mercedes: owedh tbat so long as hier' mother lived lie would not marry. After the moth r's (leath she yielded to her lover's ~ntreaties, and1( the (lay for their wedl- 2' ing was sot, when euddenly the young" nan dIed. 6 I longed to visit, the 01(1 house and( L~ >btain a 1)0ep at, the senor'ta. The vi louse is a long, low, whitewashed t itructure, anid in the rear as well as in fron0t is a very pretty lower garden,, aontaing all the old-fashioned Ilow- 1C ars that, our grandmot,hers loved. I fta notIced the Sheiman rose bush as I I passedl It on my way to hieir doorway._ Its trunk, or stem, as noar as I could puudge, measured about tive inchies In hiameter, and (lie beautiful foliage wverhead was gay with the golden blossoms.
