TIIURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1887.
Yard-master B. F. Turner, of Co
lumbia, and Joseph Taylor, a colored
man, have been bound over to the
Court of Sessions, charged with steal
ing a carload of twenty-five bales of
cotton from the railroad.
Lewis Stewart, colored, who is to be
hanged at Laurens to-morrow for the
murder of his wife on :th May 183
has made a confession and says that
he was driven to the deed by the
unfaithfulness of his wife. He at
one time lived in Newberry county.
We publish this week the speech of
Senator John Sherman deliv nred in
Tennessee the other day. We sup- I
pose it is the beginning of his Presi
dential campaign. He is conserva
tive in his utterances and is endeavor
ing to catch the Southern Republican
support.
R. T. Jones. who was convicted of
manslaughter at the last term of
court for Edgefield, and sentenced to
twenty-five years in the penitentiary,
has applied to Judge Norton for
bail, pending the appeal to the Su
preme Court on the motion for a
new trial.
Benjamin F. Huger, Postmaster
at Charleston, S. C., died on the 25th
inst. There are a number of appli
cants for the position. Some of them
must have been presented to the Presi
dent almost before Mr. Huger was
dead, as the President is reported to
have said he would take no action
until the late postmaster was buried.
In the case of Chas. P. Barrett a
lawyer of Spartanburg. charged with
gambling, at the recent term of
court for that county the grand jury
found "no bill" and the matter is
ended. The matter has been ex
tensively discussed and lawyer Bar
rett, and Editor Jones, of the Spartan
burg HIeraMd, had some lively writing
about the matter.
James G. Blaine has gone West to
visit his daughter in Indian Territory,
and to look after his private business
and no doubt to feel the way for the
Presidency in 188S, and Senator John
Sherman has come South to start a
boom for his nomination and election
bthe Republicans in 1888. But
with all this, Grover Cleveland, if he
lives, will be nominated by the Dem
ocrats and reelected President in 1888.
The Evangelists seem to have cap
tured Atlanta. About three weeks
ago, Evangelist Tillman, went from
Edgefield, where he had been holding
a series of meetings, and spread his
tent in Atlanta and began his preach
ing. He is still there and seems to
have completely aroused Atlanta.
The C'on'stitutiont of 25th inst., s ays:
The religious ball which was -at in
motion in Atlanta a few weeks ago
has gained such momentum that it is
sweeping before it all wordly things.
The spiritual awakening is more gen
eral, more fervid, more p)ractical than
any religious revival ever known in
Atlanta. The atmosphere seems to
be surcharged with evangelical oxygen,
spiritual hydrogen and soul-reviving
nitrogen.
The various evangelical churches in
all parts of the city have joined in the
movement against Satan.
Last night the meetings were sim
ply overwhelming. Tillman's gosp)el
tent was jammed, and scores of con
verts rose and knelt for the prayers of
the congregation. MIr. Tillman is
receiving the cordial co-opcration of
half a doze:t preachers.
MIayor Harrison, of Chiicago, seems
to take a rather gloomy view of af
fairs in that citv. Anarchism and
the anarchists seem to be the bones
of contention. He refuses to allow
the use of his name in connection
with the office for another term. He
"I am sixty-two years old, and a
life of quiet 'for a 'few years may
give me r. happy and vigorous old1
age. MIy fear is that we will have I
some terrible trouble in this city in
the next two years. If the supreme
court gives the anarchists a new trial.
Judge Gary has told me they could
never have another trial. Theyv couldr
not get a jury. These men' would
give out that the-: were vindicated.
and they would cause troub)le. On
the other hand, if they were hung,
we may- have convulsions. I have
been successful in being able to quell
all disturbances with the police. The(
future may develop something differ
ent. If I should be elected mayor j
again. I should feel that I would 'not I
dare to be away from Chicago w~here 1
a half day's ride would not b'ring me
home."
It see ms to us that there migh
possibly be another matter whinch
would cause nia~-or Harrison to take
a gloomy viw of the futur of
Chicag'. There ar said to be more
more than thirty indictments now
pending against "Boodle Aldermen"
in the city of Chicago.
In another column we print an ac
count of the shooting affray in Trial
Justice Biease's Court on last Satur
day between Col. J. B. Jones and
Col. George Johnstone. We have
eIdeavored to state the fact- impar
tinily and :tithout comiment as to
that transaction. We regret very
much that any such affair should.
from any cause, take place in New
berry. If these gentlemen had not
been in violation of the law against
carrying deadly weapons concealed,
in all probability it would not have
resulted so seriously. It was wrong
in them to go armed in this way, and
especially to go into a court of Jus
tice with deadly pistols in their
pockets. And as long as men of
high standing in the community
go armed, in violation of the law,
and public sentiment stands as it
does, we may expect such things
to happen. And how can we expect
men in the lower walks of life to be
law-abiding when men of influence
thus disregard the law. We some
times think that the law against
carrying deadly weapons concealed
is a dead letter any way. and it will
remain such, until public sentiment
condemns i'3 violation in terms un
mistakable.
TH E EXPERIMEXTA L STATION.
A joint meeting of the citizens of
Anderson, Oconee and Pickens coun
ties, was held at Anderson last Sat
urday in the interest of securing one
of the Experimental Stations to be
appointed by act of the last Legisla
ture. These three counties have
combined and propose to put in a bid
together and locate the Station, if
they secure it, at some place conven
ient to all the counties. Several bids
were proposed from different sections.
The most important action taken.
however, will be seen from the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted
Resolved, That it is the judgment
of this meeting of the farmers of An
derson, Pickens and Oconee counties,
that the agricultural stations provided
for at last session of the General
Assembly should not be located until
after the next meeting of the General
Assembly, when the stations as
changed by the passage of the Agri
cultural Education bill by Congress
can be considered and provided for
by the Legislature, and such addi
tional offers as may be prepared and
made in connection therewith from
different sections of the State can be
received, particularly as no practical
purpose can be secured by immediate
location.
A resolution was also adopted re
questing Greenville and Spartanburg
counties to co-operate with them in
this petition to the Board of Agricul
ture not to establish this Experimnen
tal Station. We do not think the
Board is obliged by the terms of the
act to proceed at once to the establish
ment of the Stations unless bids from
the counties or sections of the State
desiring these Stations are presented
and are acceptable to the Board.
We understand that Laurens
County has taken similar action to
that taken at Anderson last Saturdav
And that seems to be the desire of the
Newberr-y farmers.
We think it the proper and better
course to pursue and our reasons are
simple. If the Agricultural College
is to be established the wiser plan
seems to us to establish the col
lege first and let the Experimental
Stations be the outgrowth of this in
stution and under its supervision and
direction. It seems to be the almost
unanimous wish of the farmers to
have an Agricultural College, and if
they want it we see no reason why
they should not have it. The better
plan then will be to establish the
college first and then let the Experi
mental Stations be an outgrowth from
it and save the ap propriaitions made
by the last Legislature to help in the
establishment of the college.
We hope that all the counties con
esting for these stations will take
this view of the miatter and ask that
the matter of establishinlg'these sta
Lions be deferred for the present and
re have no( doubt that the Board of
griture would withhold action.
The Inter-State Conunerce Bill
>assed by the last Congress. and
,vhic-h will go into effect in a few
lays, seems to puzzle nearly every
ody in trying~ to find out exactly
that is intended by it. We do not
>elieve there was any need for this~
ill, and do not believe that it will
e of any benefit to the commerce of
he country. It will take the Comn
uissioners some time to get a set of
ules adopted from it, and get it in
'orking order. No doubt a great
lal of litigation will be the result of
his law. The Atlanta Constitution
avs:
"It is no usual thingr for an act of
ongress to be loosely drawn. Many
ets have to be stretched upon the
udicial rack to undergo the patceh
vork tinkering of the bench lawyers
>efore they can be practically utilized.
We are accustomed to all this.
he old gag of the lawyers about
rivin.g a coachi and fou throug-h
e yawn. g' gas of a statute no
onger- strikes us as an extravagant
0
)oast. But. familiar as we are with
tis sort of uLny. it must be admit
tedl that the inter-state commerce bill
makes us stare and gasp.
Here is a bill concerning v.hich
nothing dtfinite is known by any liv
ing human hbeir. The author of "
the bill h:s ira:kly a<hnitted that tr
the p)u.-biities al p)otenitialiti(,s la
v.rappe'd up in his o-.%-n overpowering C
diction are h)(oin(1 hi - com prehensioin.
The able advoent-s and opponents of E
the bill a;re-d upon only one point, n
viz: that ther di1 not u11dertan( it. \(
The railroad'men. expss men. law- C
yers and ]business :.("en in every t 11
of the country have risen en masse Ii
to pronounce the bill hope-lessly un- '
intelligible. (
Under the circunstances, then, it (1(
is out of the question to ex)eet any P
speedv settlement of the points of i
difieulty with which this bill fairly 10
bristk-s. It will be a work of time th
for the comm11issioners to formulate a e]
Pod of rules, and it will take years et
for the courts to dispose of the litiga- w
tion that is sure to result. ft
Perhaps it was a radical mistake to ti
call such a measure an inter-state A
commerce bill. State lines are mere
ly political. When it comes to geog
raphv, commerce and material things,
the states are not separate entities.
We do not need the regulation of d
inter-state coi)ierCe so much as the ti
regulation of commerce between far r(
apart commerce centers having con- 1l
flicting interests. E
But it is necessary to go thorough- T
lv into the discussion of the subject. .y
The bill will have to be amended a
again and again. It will have to run J
through the mills of justice. Possi- t
bly it will, in the course of time. be r
moulded into an efficient and bene- h
ficial law."
".WOMAN Sl"FFRAGE."
b
We publish on our outside this n
week the much-talked-of letter of ti
M?. S. F. Chapin on the subject of P
woman suffrage. We do not seq why t
b
the Adcocate refused to publish the
letter. The position taken by Mrs. h
Chapin is simply her opinion. and b
she has a right to be heard. We see t<
no argument in the letter to convince t
us of the position taken by Mrs. Cha
c
pin, and we do not believe the ladies b
care anything about voting, and do a
not think the- would vote if the ti
privilege were extended them. In C
some of the Northern States the
right of suffrage is extended the wo
men in the electicn of school boaids, t
and our recollection is that after a
having this privilege for about six ti
years. not more than an average of t
one woman in twenty-iive takes ad
vantage of the privilege, and we do t<
not believe the proportion would be v
that large in South Carolina. We t1
know it would not be among the '
white women.
C
If MIrs. Chapin desires the success
of the prohibition movement she
must work on the public sentiment
and get a healthy public sentiment
in favor of prohibition. Let the wo- t
men use their influence in that di- 13
rection in their homes and around c
their firesides and on their husbands, C
fathers. sons and brothers, arnd her
cause will be successful much quicker
than by giving woman the ballot. b

The shooting afiray which took place ~
in the office of Trial Justice Blease, at 1t
Newberry, on Saturday last, is a re
proach to the State. The principals in t:
the duel wvere not cowboys, but promii
nent lawyers, men of fine education and B
large political influence, w~ho, whatever
their real or fancie d grievances, should
have had some consideration for the
public welfare.
3Mr. Johnstone is known as one of the c:
ablest yong lawyers in the State. He tl
ha:s several times tilled the position of a
Representative from Newberry County,
in the State Legislature, where he at
tained distinction. In the last campaign c
he was a prominent candidate for Con- V
gress from the Third District, and at the I
bar Nhas for a long time enjoyed an 0
enviable reputation. Mr. Jones is a 0
young lawyer of excellent origin and oft
imuch promise. Both are sworn officers
of the Court, and would doubtless de.
noninee in others lawlessness of which J
they themselves were guilty on Sat ur
day. If there is any law in South Caro
lina that will reach them, they should
be most severely punished. What hiope
is there for the State wvhen lawyers, who,a
of all men, should be shinuing exemnplarse
of the dignity and supremacy of the law,
convert a crowded Court-roo-n into a 0
shooting gallery and try to fill each
other's bodies with bullets! What fu
ture can there be for South Carolina
when huminan life is hell so cheap that 0o
lawyers go into Court with pistols in
their pockets, ready to shoot down each T
other for "hot words,'' used in "the pro- 1.3
gress of ani argument:!' What right
have wye to object to the criticismns of our
pohitcal enemies wi-'en we sta:ini the
temipie of jmi.tice itself with the blood of I
personail foes: la1
From allI the ':irdim t anees oi thme N ew
berry- affray whicbh have conie~ to our r
knowledge, it appeurs that hoth Mr. Ii'
Johnstone and Mr. Jones wvent into mn
Court with the initention of "having a I,
row." Each of them carried a pistol in a
direct violation of the law in regard to T]
concealed weapons, and the olfence is we
punishable by line and imprisonment. i
liot words passed between them. They p
drew their wecapons, -md, in less t'han a th
ninute, fired ninec shots at each other-.n
They might have killed any innocent Hi
person in the room. Mr. Johinstone was at
wounded in threce placens, but not seri- mi
oasly hurt, and Mr. Jones was shot it
tbrough the body andl will p)robably die. de
The trivial ease in which they were en- be
gaged nas been amicably- aijusted, and co:
their honor, it is to be presumned, has p
been vindicated by the blood which was in:
:hied in Trial Justice Blhease's Court. ha
But this s.hould not be the end oi the de
matter. Certainly there should be some wc
neans by wvhmi the evii examle that he

Case of Forgery Discoverey Just in time to te
Save the Money.
Aobbrrille -fes.senger, March .29.
About the last of February, a neatly C
ressed young nn presented himself at
sei
te AbbevilIC National Bank and rep
sented himself as being the son of
[rs. Jane C. Williams, who lived in
dgefield, six or seven miles below
roy. lie was possessed of a note for Y
,300, payable to Mrs. Jane C. Williatm, of
ad sied by J. F. Wideman, A. B. be
:ennedy and R. J. Robinson, all well
> do citizens of the vicinity of Troy.
le desired this note discounted, but was
iformed by the bank officials that they of
nuld not do so, but that if his mother,
irs. Williams, would give a note to the H
ank for $1.000 and deposit the $1,300 B
ote as collateral, they would discount
iat. In a few days the two notes,
roperly witnessed, were returned with fr
de request that the money be sent
y express to Augusta. This was done.
'he party, however, failing to identify ac
iniself in Augusta, rcquestel the bank, v
y let:nr, to have the money seit back
> Troy. This was also doie, but when ci
be money was called for at Troy, there
eing some suspicious eircuni-tancesu
onnected wiih its delivery, and the
ank being informed thereof ordered the
ionev sent back to Abbeville. Invts
igation then revealed that the sign:tures ,
f Messrs. Wideman, Kennedy and
,obinson and also the witness to the to
ut note, 3Ir Geo. C. Bradley, were
ery clever forgeries, and that the young 0
ian himself was an imposter as neither fr
Irs. Williams nor her son knew any
king about the aflftir. It is but just to in
tc bank officials to state that they used Cl
very picauion in this affair, and that
ic fo"geries were so well executed as
> mislead qutite a number of gentlemen

Compounding Petit Larceny.
