Tomorrow, TII?: LAURENS AD?
VKRTISEK '.viii enter upon the third i
year of existence. When we look
buck over the past two years, '.ve :
are filled with conflicting emotions
--of pain and pleasure, started in
the most modest manner-without
experience, friends er m ney t"
fight out nattie for us-at a time of
unprecedented financial depres
ei >u-THE ADVERTISER lia- found j
numberless obsticles to oppose. At
the outset we determined, that
when questions should arise, con
cerning the people ot tai- County
and South Carolina, to speak our
convictions in unqualified terms.
Determined to hattie for the right
as we conceive it. te? uphold our
convictions, regardless of friend or
foe; we have been the organ of no
section, no faction, nor any indi
vidual. By adhering strictly lo 1
this platform, we have most fre
quently found thi* jmper with the
minority. But. while readers have
Often opposed the view- of Til E A [>?
VERTISER, bo i1 said YA itli credit
to the intelligence of Laurens Coun
ty, that they have had the magna
nimity to allow an honest differ
ence of opinion. It is true that a
/cte have sworn "eternal enmity"
to this paper, but it is gratifying in
the extreme to note that from thc
first, THE ADVERTISER has been
appreciated, and our effort- duly
rewarded. To-day there are but
few intelligent families In this
county, where this paper i- n? ; re
ceived, and before wo close our
third year, wo hope that it may bo
read around every fireside.
For the furture WO have no new
promises. "Nothing extenuate,
nor aught set down in malice." Tho
eucouragment of thc past Inspires
us to greater exertion, we appreci
ate the efforts of our friends and
duly acknowledge all favor-. We
always endeavoi to give full value
in return.
LET I'S REASON TOGETHER.
Doubtless some people will look
upon the festivities at Greenwood
-Tournament and Base-ball eon
test-as a matter of little conse
quence, but we can conceive of
few enterprises Into which the. cit
izens of this progressive little town
could have invested an equal
amount of labor and capital and
have reasonably expected -neb re
turns. The mere fact of getting
up such an affair is of itself an ad
vertisement t<> thc world, that thc
town ls ali\'c and aggressive. These
"finished" towns never go into neb
things. The people are too busy
hovering over tho little they have
accumulated during half a century
of close economy and hard work,
to think of giving anything for the
benefit of tho community at large.
Borne people in these de ad to wns,
belie\-e that n. ney -??n:,l in a iwr
tising the town in which they live,
in showing tn tho world their ad
vantages and inviting others to
cast their lot with them, is a clear
loss. Indeed it -ome time happens
that merchants at sue!, places do
not believe in advertising, when
they bave tho testimony of every
successful business man, common
sense, and their own experience,
staring them in the face, showing
the contrary to be true.
Why is it that the great million
aires of Now York pay annually
over $10.000 per column for adver
tising space in a newspaper? Be
cause it r-.v-v-s them to do it.
Ask the business men ot Allan
ti, Ga., tho eau-?'of the phenome
nal growth of that great city, and
they will tell yon that it Is due
more to the fact that Atlanta was
thoroughly advertised than to any
thing else. Tho newspapers pufft d
Atlanta, ?md thc citizens supported
the newspapers. Great' Exposi
tion^ were given, which brough!
thousands of people there, who law
for themselves that they were wel
comed, end that the people were in
earnest; consequently, many wore
induced to make Atlanta their
home. This in turn, bonoflttod
every business.
We como now to a matter close
at home to the people of Laurens.
This Fall, our Cr-'nty Fair will be
held at this place. This Fair will
advertise Laurens! Now what
kind of advertisement will it be?
Will it show that the people of the
town aro ?cad? Will it provo that
our merchants are so short-s ight cl,
illiberal picnyuniah, that they will
allow such an occasion to fail ? Will
the farmers allow it to bc said that
they are indifferent to thc advan
tages of a County Fair. Will they
wlthold support because they can
not count in dollars and cents the
benefit to ho derived therefrom?
Will the stook-raisers eount the
expense greater than the profit, de
rived from aiding in this great an
nual exhibition ?
These oro questions which oro
lung will Iv answered. Why can
not this exhibition of the Laurens
County Agricultural and Mechan
ical Association, ho wade second
only to the groat Piedmont Exhi
bition of Atlanta or the Inter-Stutes
Encampment of Spartanburg. Let
the officers of the Association meet
frequently, let them appoint com
mittees who will work faithful
ly and by concert of action and de
termination, much wiii certainly
bc accomplished. We now pause
for a reply.
MISTRIALS.
It must he admitted that tho
number of trial- in criminal cuse?,
wlu re tho jury fail t> roach a ver
dict, have in tho past few year- in
creused enormously. The expense
of our criminal court s, barring the
inconvenience and demoralization
occasioned by such delay In the
machinery of tho government, ls
sufficient to put cur Solons ti? thc
task of devising n remedy. Ho?v
to facilitate the work of reaching a
conclusion, without i m paring the
Integrity of the jury system, is not
readily discovered. All efforts
must be directed towards securing
impartial jurors. While the ulti
matum of power is in the people,
yet public sentiment is not a safe
jury to try offenders; ami for this
reason it i- highly Important that
tio prejudice, no pieconceived no
tions; no ?vidence save that devel
oped ut the trial, should influence a
juror in determining the guilt Or
, innocence "f a party accu cd of
crime. The law says that certain
rules must be followed ii; adduc
ing tcstlmonv beibr? a jury, and
evidence which comes t ? the jury
otherwise than by those establish
ed rule-, should md weigh in form
ing n verdict. If a Jury could iib
: w.iys be had, who knew nono of thu
parties, who know nothing of th"
case beforehand, who wore Willing
tu draw conclusions from tin- law
ami evidence in tho particular
case in band: then, wc might have
fewer mistrials. A man may form
an opinion on a oa<o which would
render ?lim incompetent as a juror,
Without being Conscious Of tho fact;
ami thi- is most frequently the
cause of mistrials.
Kow feu a remedy. In this 6tato
the defendant, in certain cases of
felony, ls allowed twenty peremp
tory challenges, while the state hus
two. To ! cgln with then, the de*
fence has twenty chances of got?
j ting a man on tho jury who v. ill
make a mi-trial, rather than con
viet, or who will at least favor him
to such au extent a- *>> l ias his
judgment. Thirty-six intellegout
citizens of tiie county are imparta)
I ly drawn from tl:- citizens at hug ;
I after finding that the- - men -rt
I competent to try the case, th, ? .
j fondant ear. then Object t.. twei ly,
j in order to secure ono, who alone
can moko a mi iii;-.!, which thc
state cannot prevent. If the de
fendant were limiten to ter. chal
lenges and the state should bo al
lowed an equal number, we believe
there would br far less complaint
against tim administration of jus
tice in t!:i- state.
"We endorse any resolutions con
"demningthe action ofthejury who
"sat on this case and also any reso
lution forgetting ri<l of Jue. 1 ?.

This appears in the procedings of
a meeting called, as we take it. t<>
brand ns faulse.a statement made
! in the New- and Courier that pub
lic sentiment justified the Bishop
! homicide. Nowlt appears from
the above, which ls made *\ part
{ Of the procedings ?f the meeting
that in their zeal c. protect tho
fair naine of Laurens, this mas<
meeting was willing to charge the
jury wiio hud tried the case v* Ith all
the evidence before them, on oath
rendered a verdict, with wrong ac
tions. 80 far as we can see and
know, there is no reason to sus] eel
that flny*mau acted otherwise than
on Iiis conviction* and certain it i
tbat no law Abiding citizens ought
to pass resolutions to "get rid" of a
man whom0 jury of hil country

TUB CitAUO K. j
i Oentlomen of tho Jury: This case !
; having been so fully discussed on
both sides, very i'ttle remains for

separate duties and separate re

you correctly. 1 have no right lo

Tin- Coustitutl m puts tho facts i .;

of law. If I usurp your privilege
and comment upon tho facts, l ; tn
guilty of violating the lav.-. So

are divided. They ore sop .rule.
!NoW, I nm going to perform my
share of that duty and leave you to
perform yours.
Hut whilst I a hi not ni liber y l .

And t n.de is i

The rule of common sen.-o i- thai

Now, that is a matter which you

Wli.it are tho circumstances ?
Y?u are bound I ? consider in the

Furthermore, Oentlomen, when
be testifies to you that nfl er be br

laking his lifo, but for fear that the
deceased had a gun ?a tho Clerk's

How docs that t illy with what
Mr.Coopi r testifies to, tint when
be came up ami ordered tho (Iring
to cease, that Instead of looking to
see whether tho deceased was g<>.
lng to shoot or not he turned upon
Mr, Cooper and presented bi? pis
tol saying, "Yep stand back. I'on'l
interf?re." How does that tally
with th?- fact that bis brother Inter
posed b.'tw M the marshal aud
tlo defendant to prevent his put
ting fi -top to ibe matter, and did
so preven bim a- to enable the d?
fendant meanwhile to fire three
more shots after ho was ordered to
t o:i - .' firing? Mow does that tally
with the facti and it is lor you to
consider, !hat ." going around to
the wine - ws of the Clerk's office bc
was thereby exposing himself to be

W?S afraid wa- gOiUg to ghOOt him.
'1 here va- that person in the
Clerk's office, capable of dodging

paring for him,and yet he follows
around and goes to tho very win
doww through which he could be
shot, lt is for you to say.'doesthat
look liko be was afraid tho deceas
ed wa-? going to shoot him? You
are obliged to consider all these
matters und account for them.
They ure matters of testimony in
the case and it is for you to consid
er! w these things tally with the
testimony which he gives.
His Honor then read certain ro
que-dato charge with his rulings
thereon, after which ho remarked
that he would endeavor lo shorten
thia cane ns much as possible. You
ve heard lt fully discussed. I
Charge you that that doctrine of
higher law is the most dangerous
and destructive that can peuetrato
or rule a country, lt has cov. r-ul
our State with the blood of some of
lt- best citizens-that doctrine of
higher law and tho right of man
to avenge his own insult or tho in
suit of his family by attacking an*
ether with a pis! >l. It hus not on
ly covered tho fields of our State
with ibo blood of our best Citizens,
but it hos covored the whole- Con
federate States with the blood of
our best citizens,-(hat samo doc
trine of higher law.
Now cb. not lot me bo understco 1
:\- rebelling against our present
condition of things under recon
struction; but 1 doc? ntend and al
ways will Contend that it was the
doctrine of higher law that brought
on that wai j it was that doctrine of
higher law that slaughtered our
citizens, it. was ihat doctrine of
higher law that didall tho mischief
to us, that very doctrine of higher
law extend? i toa nation insten 1 of
to an individual. You aro not al
lowed lo consider it for a moment.
You ure violating your duty j ii -
ry men, you u*e trampling upon
the oaths you havo taken it for a
Ingie moment, you listen to that
doctrine of higher law. You arc
to consk'- r tilia case according to
I tho In -, not higher law, an I tho
I evidence.
Now, what i- Ibo law? Admit
ting that those threats w re used,
: that all tbi< villainous language
was used against the mother and
.dder of tho defendant; that all
I those messages wert -eut lp the
defendant admitting everything ol
that sort, what then follow?? It
did not justify him In law In sum
moning his brother from Green
ville boro, neither In arming (hem
selves and seeking the lifo of thc

decide is, "ls that what they di'.'.'

ho could have been put un 1er hea

you believe ho summoned his Moth
er here from Cfreonville, that they
in conc?n', bot lt armed, went te

thal they acted togothti in keeping
back tho citizens who would have
prevented the shooting, If you aro
satisfied and have no reasonable
doubt of it that .-tu b uro tho facti!
of the case, thci be is guilty of
murder.
Can then- benny point of law in
whl di you can reduce the offense
to ?o mslnlighter ? There i- some?
thing about a case of sudden boat
und passion, which law does ro?
duce thc offence I ? manslaughter
if the defendant killed the deceas
ed in sudden heat ami pasi?n lib
eler gre.it provocation. The law
ba- ?a ver vet citied it that the
abu-,- villifying and "dandering
one's family is sufficient provoca*
ti< n. I am not pr- pared to - ny
what tia- jury should ?lo under
(hose circumstances, and I in va ri .
ably leave the extent of the provo
cation to them, if it ba clearly of ii
very sorii us and unbearable nature,
rn doing this I am not taking tho
law in my own hands at all. I am
following what has boon tho ruling
of some of our ol ler Judge- who
have left it to the jury, limier those
circumstances to say was that a
prover a tl u that any m.ci could
I? ..r. If it was a provocation that
lu.MI could md be.ir then (lie ease
i < for you ami you have a right to
say be was gullly of manslaughter
if you don't look upon it in that
light, ibcn tho next question is: Is
It such J.revocation ns in law will
entitle you to recommend I he d?
tendant to mercy In case you find
bim guilty of murder. That i- a
matter entirely within your power.
If you thluk that all the circum
stance!1, pftho caso entitle bim to
mercy, then you have a right to
rei ruin.tend him to mercy, und that
right invariably acknowledged by
Governor ami acted upon hythe
(levi rnor.
Now, suppOSO defendant and bis
brother did not go there to seek (ho
doeca-e and fired upon bini, then
what. Tho law ls for you to say if
It was an accidental meeting, anil
lM>th drew, and after the defendant
tired first (be deceased ran and
cried for mercy, and went into the
Clerk'sofflC0, The defendant had
ho right lo pursue bim a single step
after he ran from the contest, and
his pursuing bim and killing him,
would make lt nt least a case of
manslaughter
That is the law of the case. now.
Tho facts are for yon. You will
apply the finds, as you nndor-d i a 1
them, to the law, as thus laid down
by me, and yottlf verdict will beac
