14,> PtaoliisTox will never prohibit the e . of whiskey, but It will.fnally suacoed in accomplishing wonders In other directions. In .fact it has made startling advances already. The dry -people are -doubtless actuated by the best of intentions, but for our part we can never forget what old Beu Wade said in this connection, it was so ter. ribly true. It Might Not Have ecn. Now that all the facts that led up to and culminated in the death of Jno. -B, Jones have been laid before the public, and now that the party who slew him, has had it -judicially determined that ho acted in self defense, it may not bt amiss to say a word or two fpr the man who is not here. First the ancient retort "I will con" aider the source" means nothing mort than this, that anything you may if beneath my notice. The stinging epithet "dirty puppy" Is more than i rejoinder to this. The man who wil not fight when he is thus denounced If not i man. Secondly it is greatly to be regrettet that Mr. Johnston couldn't find timc to answer the polite letter of the de ceased. Every syllable of it bore thq unmistakable mark of courtesy. Anm suoh an explanation as one gentlemat under the circumstances would positive ly owe another, in reply to this letter would doubtless have obviated thi fatal "rencounter in :which Jones los his life. Tow it must be borno in mind Iha Mr. Johnston charges that there wa a-consilracy to persecute his client He does not say that Jones was I party to it. If he was of course tha alters the case. But until there 1: some evidence brought forward t show this, the public will be justifle in assuming that Jones was acting i a strictly prmfessional capacity. If this be Treason Make the Most o It. There is no denying the fact tha some of the gentlemen who follow thi pursuit of agriculture have laid clain of late to very high and interestini prerogatives. Stripped of its transparent die guises the Farmers' Movement is all assertion that the farmers as such hav4 tho right to rule this country atic make Its laws. But if the so-caled movement is per - slsted In the question must sooner oi later come up, "Will other classei concede this extraordinary claim?' Why should they? Upon what is 11 . basod? The farmers, it is said, make up th( - "bone and sinew" of the country But with the conditions of life thai surround us just now we think this, to say the least, very questionable, The "bone and sinew" is lower down, Go into the country when you may, and who is-it that is found at work ii1 the fields? There is where -'the farm. era' movement" ought to be visible, and there it Is not seen. The fact is ii few men have been overseeing a sub ordinate class now so long that they have suddenly come to think that they are entitled to supervise things in gen oral. The transcendant impudence of the thing is well nigh without a par allel. The cherished "movement" may comfort its votaries a little while long or, but sooner or later, mark you, there will come a recoil. EDITOR PRO TEM. Censuring the JYudge. The grand Jury undier our system of government is a very important Institution. It has especially a general supervisory control over the affairs of the country and should certainly not be criticised for a fearless discharge of duty. But when this body, which should always be composed of men of discriminating judgment, has so far forgotten Its legitimate office as to in. Rult the official head of the Court which it has been empannelled to servo, then it should be reprImanded, and promptly. Now if the Edgefleid grand Jury had directed its rebuke solely at the Solicitors of that circuit for failing to .proseeute their defaulting officials, it would have been all very well'and proper. But when it presumed to chargr for this neglect that all of the Judges who have lately presided at that Court have been recreant to their oaths of office, it was simply induig. lng impudent prattle. A circuit Judge 1s not a publio pros. ecutor. ils office is simply to hold the scales of Justice evenly. When he has called the attention of the Solicitor to the final preseutment oi the grand Jury and directed him to carry otit its suggestions as far as practicable, he has done his whole duty. If anything is then neglected the Solicitor alone Is responsible. It Is not the business of the Judge to watch after him to see that he does this, that and the other. Before a grand Jury assumes the extraordinary function 6f charging the Judge with violating his oath of office it should kno# whereof it ( g 4a rontol.) 8.otor . . ntir'B a eech in 'tra reek athe annual sace e 1eunioa,' as an ttemely seful and able one. S(Ju Aldrich i. a Odioial star; as he bives around is crcuits be. ecatts chunks of political light among the grand jurors, doubtless to thei ibuud edification. Judge Aldrich eadistinguished man,-and his views currenit political'issues are Interest Yng. Their appropriateness Is a very Wide open question. So far as we can understand, from his remarks, the presentment of Be p Tillman's agricultural college as a public nut sance by the Charleston grand jury is the proper thing to look for. (The Barntwell People.) So far nrom capturing Barnwell Capt. Tillmen lost ground that It will be hard , for him to recover. Many farmers In sympathy with the Im provement of their occupation will not touch a movement engineered by such methods. That Is a fact and not a more editorial opinion. Again it will be seen from the proceedings of the convention that It has pledged itself to nothing further than the at tendance -of Its delegates upon the State convention. It has not ket in line with the other county convenions that have "resolved" in favor of a separate agricultural and mechanical college. It did not even adopt a con stitution and by-laws, but postponed that work until a more convenient season. And to show that there is no epidemic of exthusiasm in favor of the establishment of such an Institution, we have only to say that our repuest, published weeks ago that such of our readers as fivored its creation would give posial card expression of their leanings, has not elicited a single response. It is still an open question with them and that meeting was no revival on that issue. The people of Barnwell will go slowly, but surely and when they are sure they are right they will go ahead and not before. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
