Attorney General Earle. has d eided that the Act passed by the last Legis lature organizing a new board of agri culture and the election of the mem bers of the board is in accordance with law, and the board is a legal one. There was some doubt of this in the mind of the Governor and the matter was sub mitted to the Attorney General for his opinion. If the opinion by the Atto:ney Gen eral should not be satisfactory the matter will be adjudicated by the Court. Col. J. P. Thomas, who has for the past six months ably edited the Co lumbia Register, retires from that po sition for the reason that he and the proprietor do not agree on the canal question. Col. Thomas has m:de an excellent editor, and his retirement is a loss to the Rogicter and to the press of the State. He was independent and outspoken in his opinions and, at the same time, treating those who diflered from him with the utmost courtesy. We regret his retirement. Mention was made in these columns some time ago that Mr. George T. Reid, of Chappells, had made ninety bales of cotton on a five-horse farm, but the acreage was not given. Mr. Reid informs us that he had eighty five acres planted in cotton. This crop was worked by three different tenants, two of whom made plenty of corn to run them for this year, and the other has made nearly enough. The exact number of bushels cannot be given. The land planted in corn is not in cluded in the eighty-tive acres. This we call good farming, and the same thing can be done by a majority of our farmers. No extra care or cul-. tivation was given this crop. The land was good of course. -There seems to be opp)osition on the part of the republicans of the Senate to the confirmation of Mr. Lamar as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Lamar has resigned his position in the Cabinet, and the judi ciary committee of the Senate, by a strict party vote, has decided to make an adverse report on the nomination. We cannot see what the republican party hope to gain by trying to defeat the appointment of Mr. Lamar. Noth ing can be argued against his fitness for the place except he was a confede rate soldier, and that cry is too old to avail much even with the republicans. He has put down his sword and en tered the Union, and service in the confederacy is no longer a bar to fede ral appointments. And the republican party can gain nothing by making a fight on that line. THlE THREE C'S. Col. R. A. Johnson, the general manager of the Three C's railroad, accompanied by several officers of the of inspection of the whole line. They company, has recently made a tour were in Augusta on Monday and were interviewed by the Augusta ChIroinicle which says, "the general scope of the investigations of these gentlemen is to examine into the agricultural and in dustrial resources of the territory through which the road is to run." It seems to us that this exam.nation ought to have been made before the line was located. But it seems they were highly pleased with the country and its resources, and the work of con struction will be rapidly pushed. The Chlronicle further says, "Fromt what can be learned it is not at all unlikely that the projectors of the road will get alt the money they want. It is the current report that an English syndi cate will furnish a very large propor tios of the capital required, and, that the future of the road being now an assured fact, all that will be necessary to get unlimited capital will be to ask for it." Of course the party was very favora bly imxpressedI with Augusta. Of our division of the Three 's very little is said, but what there is of it is very assuring. The Chrouicle intervkaw on this point is as follows: "Col. Johnson, being asked how the work of construction was progressing em his road. rep)lied: "As rapidly as the prudent use of mloney will permit. Everything is * working along as smnoothly as wec could wish, and it will not be very long be fore the three C's is in successfui ope ration." "How about the 'Augusta divi sion ?" "We begin the middle of next mon th to perfect the grading and finishing up of the work of construction on the 'Augusta division.' " We would like to see wo,rk comn menced on our end of this line. WVhen it was reported some time ago thbat money had been deposited in Bank in Augusta to pay the debts of the old company, we felt like work would not be long delayed, but as vet we have heard of nothing being done. cREDIT Y.s. CAMI. The Atlanta Constitution says "the farmers of the l'nited States are more humbugged than any people in the land by the politicians," and then goes on to argue that the commis sions paid by farmers for loans or ad vances in ease they fall behind and have to go on credit, are so enormous that men in any other business could not stand such a rate of interest six inontli~ without breaking. The Uon .itutiin argues that cur banking sys- L ten should be changed so that land I would be good security and could be taken as such by our national banks. I It says, "if the land is not good secu rity for a loan of money in this coun- - try, then there is no hope for the farmer. The governnient says it is I not, and permits its favorite financial t system to boycott land and land own- e ers. This has been going on for twenty- s five years when there was no excuse ( for it. t There is no effort to remedy the ' wrong, and cousequently everybody h wants to oppress the farmer. The'U farmers can call a halt if they will." o There is much truth in these observa- e tions, but what the farmer most needs v is to run his business on a cash basis. I It is quite true that the rate of interest.! I he pays when he buys his supplies on a credit is so large that no merchant a or other business man would think of a paving it. In order to make farming profitable i there must be less buying on a credit, it matters very little what the system I may be. But sometimes it is necessary for the farmer as well as other business 1 men, to get advances, either in sup- < plies or money, in order to run his business, and if his property happens to be in land we do not see why it 1 should not be taken for its true value r as collateral security as well as bonds f and stock or property of other de scription. Not only this, but when it thus be comes necessary to make loans he should see to it that lie pays a rate of interest that is rease iable and one that I he is able to pay, otherwise he had best not make the loan. No man can borrow money to run his business and pay a larger per cent for the use of it than he can make out of the business, and farming is no exception. What the farmer most needs is less buying on a credit, and by proper man agement make his business profitable; for nearly every farmer, if he will, can raise his supplies at home. Action of the Newberry Bar on the Death of John B. Jones. J. F. J. Caldwell, Esq., made the follow ing remarks: May it please your Honor: It has be come my melancholy duty under the di rection of this bar to invite the attention of the Court to a vacancy recently caused in the ranks of the Bar by the death of one of its members. John B. Jones, a practicing attorney of this place, died on the second day of April last in the twenty-seventh year of his age. Mr. Jones was a native of this county and was born in this town. His parents were Newberry people. He received his education in this place. He spent the wholc of his life here, with the exception of a year or so during which he engaged in mercantile business in the neighboring county of Abbeville. He was a graduate of the Newberry College. Soon after he reached the age eligible for attorneyship he was admitted to the Bar, and practiced law from that time until his death here. He w as, therefore, as thoroughly ider tified with the county and with the town of Newberry as one could well be; and as Newberry men, as persons feeling the deepest interest in all that concerns this community and. the individuals which compose it, this Bar, as* far as I am able to speak for it, takes pleasure in making public mention of his ability, of his stand ing in the community and in the profes sion. He died at too early an age for any man to have achieved very substantial great ness. It is only in political or in military life that a man at such an age as that can possibly arrive even at prominence; and even in th >se p)rofessions that life is too short a one for tLe, rendering of any very great services. The delay is still greater in a profession which is affected by none of the accidents, none of the public senti ment, none of the fortuitous circumstances in general which affect political and military affairs; but a profession in n. hieh one must achieve success, and must rise to the position when he deserves success and honor, by constant, by unremitting labor, and that extended over a considera ble number of years. Even as great ge niuses as Hardwicke and Mansfield and Eldon were not great lawyers at twenty seven, nor at thirty, nor at thirty-seven scarcely. A man must haLve fine talents, and must have applied tLose talents most wisely and laboriously in order to have reached any very great prominence in this profession even at twice the age to which our deceased friend attained. But I feel safe in saying that with the natural ability which he displayed ou all occasions, with the attainments to which he had reached on account of careful and thorough education at home and in the schools and colleges which he enjoyed, with the charac:er of mind he had, the fine poise, the excellent balance. with the temperament which he possessed-a sin gularly cool. self-possessed, resolute one -and with that strong e:fmm!on-sense, that acute discriminaiti' n which charac t rized him even in is boyhood, with which 1 was well-acquainted, it is but reasonable to suppose that lie would have addca year by year to the reputation wvhich he had already won it the BIar. so that if he had been spared to reach that period of life at which the most of us here imve arrived it may well be said that we could count upon his having attained and deserved very considerablle distine tion in the profession. As it was. he managod the eases in which he was emraiged, so far as I was abe to see, and so far as I have been able to hear from others, with signal ability for one so young, indeed, in a manner which in some cases at least would have ione cred:t to the most experienced and learned p)ractitioner at the Bar. I saw; not muceh of him in the Court House, he c use hie. as all other practitioners of the age at whliich he was at the time of his d(ath, was enizaged almost entirely in a court w.hich I very rarely visit, the Court of Sessions. But I had occasion to speak with him frequently outs'<de of the Court House. HIe paid me the coamlimnent more than once of asking for my opinion on questions connected with civil suits and general legal principles, and in those con ferences with him I received assurance of his ability to master even the subtlest and most difficult principles of the law. It is. therefore, a matter of intense re gret to-me, as I think it is to my brethren here and to all of the community who were .ajlntelvith our deceased friend, iat ,o very fair a promise should have im ee"n so early blighted. is t is di1 ic;lt, may it please your Honor. pi a th.se days of exaggerated rhetoric, to hi pak to ouos own satisfaction and much gi iore to the satisfaction of others, in re- h ard to any individual, living, or dead; v ecause it has become so much the cus- 0i )m to indulge in the most forcible and si xtravagant terms on all manner of occa- hI ions and in connection with all subjects. )ne who is conscientious about those I dngs feels that when he has said all that ti e felt, he has not said enough to convey ni is own impressions to others. d, I think. however, that I may convey my si wn impression of the character of the i: eceased. I have already spoken some- fi hat in regm-rd to his mental capacity and ii is fitness for the chosen profession of his n ife. In regard to his character I am say- f< ag nothing more than I feel at all times, c nd nothing more than will be recognized k s due to him when I say -and it is o: onething to say of a person-that from h is earliest youth, at which time my ac- o uaintance with him began, until the last fi iour that I saw him. I never knew him to n udulge in any sentiments or purposes in c ife except such as were thoroughly be- e Vimin(; a conseientious and upright man. t Mr. Jones was too much younger than e avself, for me, being disconnected with it im entirely in the way of business and h elationship as I was-he was too young a or me to have been very intimately asso- n iated with himl. But I myself always b xperienced at his hands the greatest n ourtesy. the most considerate treatment i >f myself and my opinions; and, although, t] ( was natural in the case, I could not 0 iave had his confidences, could not have - iad him to open his heart to me on a good nany subjects, still his deportment to- o yards me and in my presence was always v auch as to cause me to esteem him most y 2ighly, to entertain a very great friend- I ;hip for him, and to regret his death very t ;criously. The following, may it please your d EIou,or, are the resolutions prepared I nder the direction of the Bar as the ex >ression of the sentiment of the Bar in regard to this melancholy matter, which I Lg leave to present to your Honor: "Inasmuch as death has lately removed amongst us John B. Jones, a mem >er of the Bar of Newberry, and because .t is proper to express our appreciation of !is character and our regret at his loss, :herefore be it resolved by the Bar of New >erry, 1st. That in the death of our brother attorney this Bar and that of the State of South Carolina have been deprived of a fellow-laborer who had already achieved in honorable and enviable position, and I whose cliracter and ability gave abun lant promise of distinction and large usc fulness in his profession. 2nd. That in the death of our deceased riend the people at large have sustained the loss of a capable, energetic and patri :tic citizen. 3d. That the Bar of Newberry extend to the family of the deceased their deep st sympathy in the sore bereavement with which they have been visited. 1 4th. That these resolutions be presented to the Circuit Court for this County with the request that they be entered upon the minutes of the Court, and that a suitable memorial of our deceased brother be in scribed among its records. 5th. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased by the Chairman of the meeting held by the Bar for the purpose of preparing a proper tribute to the memory of the de eased, and that the same chairman pro rure these resolutions to be printed in the newspapers published in the County of Newberry." The Court: Any remarks upon this res lution? T. S. Moorman, Esq., then said: If your Honor please: My friend, Mr. Cadwell, hlas with propriety and some elaborateness paid tribute to the talent and professional promise of our deceased friend. I feel that upon that point I can hardly add more; and in what I shall say reference shall be had briefly to those features of character which distinctly im pressed myself in my associations with the deceased. Since I hlave ceased to be a young man myself it is one of the greatest pleasures of my life to note the character,and espe cially the promise of young men around me, particularly of those young men who stand related to me either by blood or friendship. Before I ever expected to have tnis solemn pleasure it had been my privilege to s:y of John B. Jones that he had and manifested some distinguishing traits of character. Particularly was I impressed with him from time to time and did I find concurrence of my friends in that impressi n that he was a manly young man. He had a manliness in his private associations as well as in his pub lie and professional duties that to me ever seemed to be prominent above every thing ch-e. It was a manliness which grew out of and which was made up of the two most imp)ortant and necessary qualities to a true mnan. He had a degree of self-respect which never forsook him. I have sat in this room and noticed him in the conduct of his cases. There was a dignified composure, there was a deliber ation and a complaceney, which charac terized him at every step in every pro ceeding; and he seemed ever to feel that he was doing his duty. and was ever doing it in that manner which his self-respect reuired. It was that which made him one of the most courteous members of this Bar to the Bench. It was that which made him quiet and deliberate in the ex amination of witnesses. It was that which made him app)roach the juries with an ever uninterrupted dignity. It was that which made him ever, while true to what he conceived to be his duty and true to meet whatever he felt to be the demands of the occasion, respectful and temperate towards brother attorneys. This charac teristic of self-respect, as I said, was ever conspicuous in his p)rofessional, in his social, in his family relations. Hand in hand with this trait was an other. That was a remarkable degree of high and generous sentiment. As far as I know, and it seenms to me I cannot be mistaken in the bent and aim of his life, John B. Jones was a young man of ele vated impulses, of high aspiratione, not only so far as himself was concerned, but so far as justice towards others and the welfare and the pleasure of others might reqmre. He was a young man, in his social in tercourse with others, a remarkable de gree of alability and geniality and kind ness of heart. I think if the question were put to the people of this community, an nespeiallv to the women of this om unity, "-What was the chief character tic of John B. Jones? What most im ressed you in your associations with ;m?" the answer would come, "He was a 'utleman of remarkable geniality, affa lity, courtesy, true politeness." Such as his life; such were the characteristics his young and buoyant and active life; ich were the characteristics that marked im when he was living simply for death. As far as my own experience goes, and think the experience of others who knew ie facts of the case, agree with mine; ever has a man in this community met ath more deliberately and quietly; with ich exalted heroism as that which iarked this young man as he lingered -om day to day upon his death-bed, feel ig sure for days beforehand that he mst die. The manner of his preparation >r death, the open and frank' counsel -ith his friends and acquaintances, the eeping back of naught, the unbosoming r himself to them, and the giving up of imself completely to the one greatest aim f life, of meeting his death, with yonder ul composure gave the last proof of his ianhood; and beautiful as the rainboc clors which span the sky when the dark st clouds hang upon its surface were the mnderness and the gentleness and the :urtesy and the politeness and the grat ude that characterized every moment of is lingering, departing life. And in death s in life, John B. Jones was a manly ian, and a man of fine impulses and no le tendencies. These qualities which so iarked his young life, promised to ex and into the full lustre, which shone in Lie character and beautifully graced the Id age of his late distinguished uncle, Ldmiral McHardy, of England. This de'eased had a dear young friend f his boyhood, a beautiful young woman, tho passed from our midst only a few ears ago; and I hold in my hands his ines of tribute to her memory, which of hemselves indicate a depth of tenderness nd a warmth of friendship of the most elicate nature, that are hardly ever ex ressed. I read from these lines: But why should we grieve and mourn For the dear one who has gone a litt!e before, ['o that bright and happy bourne, Where sorrow and pain are felt no more? * * * * * * * 3ut the thought came like a sunbeam into the sorrowing heart, Some day we will meet her never more to part." Such hope we gladly entertain of our -oung friend. W. H. Hunt, Jr., Esq., spoke as follows: May it please the Court: I know of no )etter way of illustrating John B. Jones' haracter as a lawyer than by -relating a ittle incident of his life which occurred chile we together were working up a ause which was to be tried at the No ember, 1886, term of the Court of Ses ions. The case involved not only the iberty but the lives of a white woman and her son, who were indicted for arson. L'he prosecution was vigorous and power u1, so much so that we considered the ase a desperate one. In consulting over he case he suggested to me the impor. ance of our being thoroughly familiar iot only with all the facts in the case but ith the topography of the country where he crime was said to have been commit ed; and at his suggestion we procured a :onveyance and drove eighteen miles intc he country. The day was bitter cold, and when we -eachedl our destination it was after dark, iter supper we in company with the hus and of our client, who was quite an old nan, proceeded to walk over the road hich our clients were said to have tray ~led. The burned place was at least two niles from our starting point, and the oad without exaggeration one of the roughest and most rugged in this county. After going about half the distance, tc ny surprise Mr. Jones insisted on return ng, not. however, before getting a full lescription of the other part of the road romn our companion. After returning tc vbere we started and getting our convey meeo and bidding the old man good-bye, s soon as we were out of hearing dis :ance he said to me, "You seem surpriscd :hat I insisted on returning; but] ~ouldn't find it in my heart to allow thai poor old man to go any farther over thiu rough road this cold night, and I insisted n returning so that he could come home md rest. But we must walk over every toot of that road to-night." And witha letermination that would have done credii the leader of an army he led the wa: >ver that road that night, never seeming :o feel any discomfort from the cold o: mv weariness from the exertion. Hi: >nly thought and purpose seemed to bi bhe interest of his client. That, sir, was John Jones' character While kind and considerate of the feeling: f others, his client's interest was hi: guiding star; and when he believed thai Le was working in a just causo nothing uld swerve him from his course; n< abstacle could a rise to check him. He was kind. he was earnest, he wa: resolute; and I think his life among ux will bear me out in saying that John 1B ones was fast attaining an enviable posi. tion at this Bar. In my acqutaintance with him, covering a period of 19 years, I can truthfully sa: that as school-boy, as man, as lawyer:] never knew him to be guilty of a discourt, eous act. Socially his chief pleasur< seemed to be in contributing to the happi ness of others. rovidence has seen fit to remove hin from our midst. In his death the socia circle in which he moved has lost its chie: spirit; the political party to which he be longed, an earnest and efficient officer the State, a patriotic citizen; and the Bar a member whose life promised to be ful of usefulness and distinction in the pro fession, and an honor to the memory o that distinguished Judge whose nameh bre, John Belton 03eall. The Court: It affords to the Court melancholy pleasurg:o do honor to th name of a young man of so much promis and of so fine character, and who bad< fair to be useful to the Court and an or nament to the Bar.

"There is a prevaiil !* llt ipressill that, for o eo criminal ollence, to-na it. a crimi,lal a-sailt upon a Woma:n. it is laws ful to lvich. That for that ofelne lvciting i. law ful and is to be tolerated. Persons who hold that opinion forget that the law canniut be violated upon any i.e matter withount invoking its po'w4r in all other re-pects. Judge Kershaw struck the keynote in this matter in his charge to tie gr:inl jury at Aiken, when he said: 'Let the people acquire the opinion that it. is right to violate the l w;in this o.ie reg.ard] and they wiil soon lise all rep-ct for our law.' "It would be a misfortlutie to any j.:d;:e to acquire the reputation of being ani alarmist. It de-troys his illlnence for good. Yet, for teti ears, I have been try ing to alarm the peop;e of the State o:t this subj.c'. One point which I always bring to the attention of the grand jury when I touch upon this sub jeet is that the people forget that the colored race is very apt to imitate the white race. That the colored people ire very apt to fodow the examples which the %w hite race set them, and peo ple who follow the examples of othrer aire more apt to folloiw their bad exam ples than their g,,od ex:uipies. '"1 have said to mtore i: one grand jury: 'You let public opiuion tolerate this crime of lynching for criminal a sault upon a woman, and you do not know at what time a young white mat may be falsely accused and lyncheu be fore his friends can lesene hiini.' Ou that subject I have warned and warned, and I have sa:d to the pcop'le of the up country: -You do not know how yout example may injure is down in the low country where the colored race predom inates .o largely.' "No attention has been paid to n warning, and in the last few weeks on' of fhieir youtng men has paid the penalt: with his life, and most people believt that he Was unjustly charged. It i: wrong to violate the law, and it is ise less to say that it is nece,sary to do so People say that quick, sodien retribu. tion for this horrible crime will strik& terror to the perpetrators and to the criminal classes. It is the duty of those wvho plead necessity to show that ai execution accord.iig to law and Lundel the forms of law and justited by all the citizens of the St ate will not exert bet ter inti nence thani ani executiotn unlaw fully coi ducted by a niob. "I have always held aind believed thai wheni crime ispunished by organtized lav it is very muchl more 'uhoilesomne in it effects thtan wvhen 'it is dote by unan thorized persons illegally. It is the dut, of grand juries all over.the State to mak< presentmtients uponi this imatter andJ o all good citizenis to use tlieir inilutence t put. this crime down." TLhie Judge severity condlemnied thi carrying of conuealed deaidly weapons a a practiCe not to be tolerated and on wlihi hu,ldlt be frowned tuponi by a: good citizenis. Speaking to the grai jury on this point, lie said: "You should not onlyv go into you grand jury room determineiid to tindi: true bill aigaitnst every mani ptoved t< vour sati.factioti to have carried a dead ly weapont concealed, but you shiouli p)resentt this pract ice aus ani evil, as a dan ger-ous evil. andi One w iihib will lead( ti the defiance of all huin~-not so bad a lyinchinug, but, vet y tea rhy so, I atppeal to youi, antd Lio all who htea mue, that you .,houldI li., e no opport Lii t whatlever to set yourti voices anmd you faces amgainlst thise two0 evil-, One wi hieb is inutrodnecintg ainat chy over .thi coiuntry and the othe-r is introdutcing. habih i~n our coninitty uni:der whluich,i it conitiinues to gr-ow, nIO mian will L safe.'' pial k to thec 'ae.n und Courier.
