Nature.
As a fond mother, when the day is o’er.
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half williog, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the
floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wbolly reassured and comforted
Dy promises of others in their stead,
Which though more spleudid may not please
him more ;
So nature deals with us and lakes away
Our playthings, one by one, and by the
band
Leads us to reel so gently that we go
Scarce kr owing if we wish to go or stay,
Reiug ‘oo lull ot sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the
what we kuow.—Lonyfellow.
Hon. B C. Pressley.
(From the Daptist Courier.)
It is known to oar rentiers that
Judge Pressley intends to retire
from the tlistioguished position he
has occuDicd lor th« xuuit ten or
{eating to bear something of a new
sect that baa sp ung op in Sumter
and some of the adjoining counties.
Some years ago a man nuined
Boyle, who bad been a Methodist,
and who resided near Lynchburg,
in Sumter County,' conceived the
idea of founding a new church. Liia
followers were at first culled ‘‘True
Light Baptists,” but they are com
monly known as “Boyleites.” They
have spread up hoih sides of Lynch?
os River, through Sumter, Darling
ton, Kershaw and CjiesterfieUl
counties, and perhaps faVtber, tak
ing hold ot the lowest and most ig
norant classes. It is not a lar^e
denomination, and, thanks t-o the
intelligence of our land, never can
be; but its followers ate very stub
born in their belief, so that it is al
most impossible to reclaim one of
them.

JOE JAMES GRANTED A NEW TRIAL.
The State ol South Carolina.—
In the Supreme Court.—April
Term, 1889.
The State, — Respondent, — vs.
Joseph W. James,—Defendant—
Appellant.
Opinion,—MoIvkr, a. J.
The following is the lull text of
the opinion of the Supreme Comt
in the James case, and it will doubt
less be read with great interest by
the people of Darlington County:
The appellant was iudicted, joint
ly with William Scott, Lewis Wil
liams and Robert Arthur, for the
murder ol his father, Joseph James,
and a motion to sever iu the trial
having been grauted at a previous
Term of the Court, the Solicitor
elected to try appellant first, and
at March Ti-rm 1889. the appellant
was tiled and found guilty. Sen
tence having been passed defen
daut appeals npon the severs
grounds set out iu the record. The
tbeoiy upon which the case lor the
Slate rested was that the appe lam
bad hired his three co-defendauts
to kill bis father, by offering to pay
each of them the sum ot two buu
dred dollars; tind the testimony
mainly, if not entirely, relnd upon
to support this theory was the testi
mony of an admitted accomplice,
William Scott, together with var
ions circumstances which, it was
claimed, supported or corroborated
his testimony. The testimony
tended to show that the deceased
was shot, at night, just as he step'
ped out iuto the frout piazza of the
house where he aud his son, the
appellant, where theu boarding;
that the latal shot was fired by
Lewis Williams, the other two de
teudauts, Scott and Arthur Ixing
present aiding and abetting, while
the sppellaut was in the back part
of the Louse taking a drink of
water; that when the gnu fired
appellant and Howell with whom
he was boarding went out on the
front piazza, when they heard the
exclamation alluded to in the
Judge’s charge— >( Joe! Oh Joe!’
1 am shot and killed,” aud when
a?ked by Howell what was the mat
ter, deceased replied “1 am shot;
they have kilUd me”; that search
was immediately made for the as
sassin by Howell aud appellant
which proved to be ineffectual; they
hurried back to the old ma.i, who
very soto afterwards d ed. Testi*-
mony was also adduced to show
that deceased h. d been previously
shot on three different occasions;
that three persons—Bell, Daniels
and Fields, bad been indie ed aud
tried therefor; that oo each of these
timls appellant waa a witness for
tiie Btate; that be bad assisted iu
the arrest ot Daniels, who was con
victed aud sent to the penfiteutiary,
aud that the other two persons.
Bell and Fields, bad been acquitted.
One James Hoo en, whose charac
ter was attacked, was offered as a
witness to show that appellant bad
attempted to hire him to kill bis
lather, and one Haile)', whose
character was likewfee attacked,
and one McKay, who was not at
tacked, were offered to corroborate
Hooteta’s testimony, by showing
that they were asked by appellant
iocarry messages to Hooteu, though
McKa\ does not say what was tbe
purport ot the u-essage be was ask
ed to tarry, as be decliued to bear
any message at al!.
Tbeie was much other testimony,
all of which is fully set out in the
“Case,” but the toregoiug Irief
statement is sufli ieut to enable us
to consider the several objections
to the Judge’s charge. The first
ground uf appeal is iu the follow
ing words: “Because bis Honor
erred hi admitting in evidence the
declarations ot Joseph Jauit-s tie*
oeast d, to tbe witness, D. U. Du>
Bose tour weeks btfore his death.”
Ou turning to tbe “Case” we find
that when the witness, DiiBoeu
was ou the stand he was asked (he
following question: “Shortly be
fore the old mau was killed, do you
know, Irom what you beard eitner
of them say, whether tbe relations
between the old mau and bis son
were friendly or hostile 1 Object
td to. Obje tiou overruled. Ex
ception taken. A, From what 1
heaid Mr. Joe James, Senior say,
they were not friendly. He said
that to me about four weeks before
he was killed. (J. Could you state
whether he had hostile leeliugs or
friendly feelings f A. My opinion
was(iutenupted) Defendant’s coun
sel obiects to the opinions or im-
piessious made ou the mind ot the
witness by tbe declarations ol de
ceased. Objection sustained.
By lAe Court: My ruling is, that
an expretsiou of hostility is ao act,
not a declaration. 1 have not al
lowed declarations to be testified to.
By the Court: (to witness.) It
you heard him express hostile feel
ings towards bis son, state it. A
I did sir. (Defendant's counsel
at-ked that bis exoeptious be noted
to II testimony as to expressions
of hostility between the father and
the son, aud to all declarations of
hostility.) From this extract from
the “Case” showing what occurred
at the t ial, iu reference to the
testimony objected to, it is very
mauitest that tbe Circuit Judge
drew a distinction, whether well
founded or not is not now the ques
tion, between expressions of hos-
tilitv aud declarations which tbe
witness beard. This is clear from
what occurred wtu-u Hug; ins, who
was examined immediately before
DuBose, wasoutbet-tand. Foi when
Huggios was asked as to ihe rela
tions between the old man and bis
son, and he replied that he could
not tell except what the old man
told him five days before he wa*
killed, he was not allowrd to say
what the o d man told him, the
Court ruling that, iu reply to the
evidence adduced on the o‘her side
to the effect that lather and son
were upou good terms, the witness
might prove expressions of hostili
ty, but could not be allowed to
prove what words were used bv tbe
old man showing such hostility,
could not prove the old man’s de*
delations. Now while tbe excep
tion noted at the trial does embrace
both points—expressions ofhos ili-
t.y, as well as declarations, it will
be observed that the first ground
ot appeal, which is all that we can
properly consider, only impales
error to the Circuit Judge iu ex
cluding the declarationt of tbe de
ceased, which a> we have seen weie
expiessly excluded. But as this is
m< rely technical we would not be
disposed, in a case of this gravity,
to rest out deiasiou upon it. W hetb -
er tbe relations between two |»er-
sons are friendly or otherwise, may
be testified to by a witness who has
bad an opportunity of observing
tbe intercourse between them, tor
although such testimony may, to a
certain extent at least, be regarded
merely us the opinion ot tbe wit
ness, yet it seems to fall uuder the
exception to the geueral mle ex
cluding opiuionsof witnesses, which
exception, as is said iu Common
wealth va. S u t vaut, 117 Mass.

with approval iu Jones vs. Fuller,
19 S. C. Rep. 68 -9, “Is not con
fined to tbe evidence of experts,
testifying on subjects requiring
special knowledge, skill, or learn
ing, but tucludes the evidence of
commou observers, testifying to tbe
results of their observation made
at the time in regard to common
appearances or facts, and a con
dition of things which cancot be
reproduced aud made palpable to a
jury.” Amongst the numerous il
lustrations given in that case and
the note thereto, may be found the
following: “So those who have
observed the relation and conduct
of two persons to each other may
testify, whether, in their opinion,
one was attached to the other.”
