Fluctuation in the cotton market
keeps the farmers in suspense.
They don't know what to do. Cue
day it is up and next day it is
down, and so it keeps them in a
state of expectancy. The farmer, as ;
a general rule, has the poorest chance
of any of the industrial classes. He
has no remedy for low or high prices;
he can’t set a price on the cotton he
makes, any more than the goods he
buys. The man at the other end of
the line does that every time, and he
can take it or let it alone, just as his
circumstances suggest. vVe know
farmers who won’t go in debt. They
do without what they actually need,

that in a quarrel the young doctor

received in the office; that is, refer it
to the presiding judge and solicitor,
and then act on their recommenda

Capt. O. K. Mauldin of Greenville
has forwarded a petition to Governor
Heyward asking the commutation of
the sentence of Alecs Land of Green
ville county, who is now serving a
life sentence for burglary. It is urged
in the petition that Land is a young
lad and that he committed the crime
only at the instigation of an accom
plice. He was sent to the peniten
tiary in September of this year, con
victed of entering a store within 200
yards of a dwelling and in the night
time. Judge Dyntzler, who presided,
and Solicitor Boggs, who led the
prosecution, have endorsed the peti
tion, saying that commutation to
three years would be sufficient sen
tence for Laud to serve.
At 8 o’clock Friday evening near
Cheraw Arch Rogers was shot by
Cuffin Nesbit, the ball going through
his abdomen. The ball was from a
parlor rifle. Rogers was taken to
Cheraw from about eight miles in
Marlboro Saturday in a wag'on, to re
ceive medical attention. The doctor
seeing that he was mortally wounded,
advised the men with Rogers to carry
him to some house iu town to die.
Instead of this he was carried to a
negro house, about four miles from
town. Both of the men are negroes.
The coroner’s jury’s verdict was
"That Arch Rogers came to his death
from the effects of a gunshot wound
in the hand of Cuffin Nesbit, with
four witnesses as accessories. Nesbit
was arrested Saturday morning and
has been placed in the Marlboro
county jail at Bennettsville.

Then again, the farmers are not all
philanthropists, not by a long ways.
If they could make the cotton mill
men pay fifty cents a pound for their
cotton they would do it and claim it
was right. It is a kind of a “tit-for-

Had Judge John Belton O'Neall,
who in his day was an ornament to
the judicial bench in South Carolina,
have presided at that trial, he would
doubtless have dismissed the prison
er with the lecture similar to one he
gave an unfortunate man, who under
great provocation had killed his fel
low man. He said: “Notwithstanding
a jury of your countrymen have ren
dered their verdict, ‘nor guilty,’ you
are nevertheless a murderer. The
blood of your fellowman cries unto
God from the ground ;its voice has
been heard and will be answered be
yond the grave. Oh, that I could
point you to the blond of a crucified
Redeemer, where you might wash
away your guilt and find acceptance
with God. I can see no extenuating
circumstances in your case to com
mend you to God’s favor. You must
settle that matter with God yourself.
Then let me entreat you to pray.
Pray earnestly, pray without ceasing.
If you can’t pray, I beg you to do
like the publican of old, smite upon
your breast and cry, 'Gid be merci
ful to me a sinner.’ Don’t be de
luded with the false hope that the
verdict of ‘not guilty’ will avail you
anything at the bar of a sin-avenging
God. So far as the laws of your
country are concerned, you as a free
man will return to the embrace of
vour faithfuf loving wife and children
for whom I have the tenderest sym
pathy. But the me/nory of your vic
tim will haunt you wherever you go.
In the dark and solitary hours of the
night, when sleep departs from your
eyes and slumber from your eyelids,
you will ever hear the whispering of
that still small voice saying ‘murder,
murder, murder.’ May God have
mercy on your soul.”

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS, has, in an issue of your paper same
: time ago, attempted to answer some,
but we fail to see wherein he has
done so, except, possibly to his own
already prejudiced mind. When Mr.
Walker was a candidate for office
last year he told us he had four years
experience as superintendent in
Union county and was thoroughly
familiar with the duties of the office,
and in a controversy with his oppo-
uant, he boasted he could “get rid
of any trustee he desired, whether
his term bad expired or not,” and
we have every reason to believe he
ilid this in this instar ce. Then this
same officer that knew his duties so
well while hunting votes, immediat-
ly after election, admits he dooo not
even know the law on appointing
trnstees, for if be was so familiar
with the duties of hie office, why did
he not ascertain when the commis-
Hous expired? as he *aid ’‘When
Mr. McArthur went out of office, 1
supposed the commissions of all
trustees had expired and I was free
to appoint those who were suggested
to me.” Was it not his duty to know
the law? Then if he did not know
it, did be not obtain votes under false
pretenses? While hi said he did not
know us, being entirely unacquaint-
er< with our community, he appoint
ed two trustees to supplant those
whose terms had not expired, and it
was his business to know when the

should you not have ma ■ me t n-
quiry about our wants? LMU you ap
point all the trustees in the county
on such petitions? Did you appoint
all the trustees as soon as you went
in office? And is it not a fact that
while you say “you thought the
commissions of all trustees had ex
pired when Mr. McArthur went out
of office,” that some trustees that
Mr. McArthur appointed are now
holding under the same commissions
issued by him? Mr. Walker, you
