(Continued from ist page.) THE CLOSE OF COURT. End of the Criminal Court and Short Sessions of the Civil Court. As we went to press on Wed nesday of last week the trial of the four colored men, John Dukes, John Williams, Handy Morrison and Harrison Gordon, charged with being accessories to the sundry burnings in the Lamar neighborhood, was in progress. Later in the after noon the jury brought in a ver dict of guilty with a recommen dation to mercy and the Judge sentenced each prisoner to ten year’s imprisonment in the peni tentiary. Their attorneys, Mes srs Boyd & Brown, made a mo tion for a new trial, but the mo tion was refused. At the conclusion of this case on the same afteraoon, Kavenel Jones, colored, was tried and convicted of burglary and lar ceny. He was sentenced to im prisonment in the penitentiary for five years. The defendant was without counsel. His of fence was only stealing turkeys, but the sentence was the light est that the Judge, under the law, could put upon him. The Solicitor stated that he thought one year’s imprisonment would be sufficient punishment and he said that he would sign a peti tion for Jones’ pardon after that period had expired. This ended the criminal busi ness and the Court of General Sessions adjourned sine die on Wednesday night. Short ses sions of the Court of Common Pleas were held on Thursday and Friday, but the only busi ness transacted was the taking out ftf a few judgments by de fault. This Court adjourned sine die at 8 o’clock on Friday afternoon, all the civil cases, including the famous “Grange case,” having been continued until next Court, Judge Gary returned on the same day to his home in Edgefield. A CARD OF THANKS. A Sufferer from the Incendiary'i Torch Appreciates Friendly Aid. Editor Darlington News: On the 8th. day of January last my barn, stables and hor ses were burned by an incendi ary. Many friends came to my assistance in my unfortunate and dire calamity, rendering me substantial aid in various ways. I now desire to express through yourcolumns my heart felt thanks to them for their kindness, honing that not one of them will be called on to ex perience the unhappiness, un rest and disagreeableness that naturally follows the glare of the incendiary’s torch. In a special manner do 1 thank those whose elbow touch I could feel and whose sincere friendship 1 could at all times rely upon in this my unexpected trouble. E. L. Gray. Lamar, 16 Mch. ’63 A DOUBLE WEDDING. An Auspicious Event in New York of Interest to Darlingtonians. Mr. Samuel Jerkowski return ed to his home in New York on Saturday after a brief visit to relatives here. Mr. and Mrs M. Marco accompanied him for the purpose of attending an inter esting ceremony—a double wed ding—in Mr Jerkowski’s family. On Monday next two of Mr. Jerkowski’s daughters will be married. One of the prospective grooms for the happy occasion is Mr. Joseph AppelL of New York, a brother of Mr. J. H. Appelt of this place. The latter ter gentlemen will leave on Saturday night to be present at his brother’s wedding. The Story of« Novel. Mr. Howells’ latest novel, “The Coast of Bohemia,” now- running through the pages of The Ladies’ Home Journal, was written in four different States. Mr. Howells began the novel at his father’s home in Ohio last May ; continued it in Boston in June ; took it to the mountains of New Hampshire during the summer and worked at it; brought it to New York aud wrote a number of chapters there in October ; took it back agaiu to Ohio in November, and finally finished it in New York last December. And yet, des pite all these changes of places of writing, the novel turns out really.to be the brightest piece of work that Howells has done for a long time. NOT VERY SATISFACTORY.

The Tribute of the F ederal Grand Jury to Judge Simonton. The Grand Jury of the United States Court in session at Green ville last week—a Grand Jury composed of all shades of politi cal complexion—paid the follow ing high tribute to Judge Sim- onton in its final presentment: “We consider him one of the ablest jurists on the Federal bench. We think him incapa ble of making partial or biased decisions that may be tried be fore him. He is kind and hu mane, and whilst he is fearless in the discharge ot his duties as a Judge, he tempers the law with mercy. We congratulate the people of South Carolina upon having such an able and genial gentleman to preside over the United States Courts in this State. Long may he live to grace the bench.” OUR NEW ADVERTISERS. Several Prominent Merchants Make Ne w Announcements, People like to trade with en terprising merchants, because the best goods may always be found in their stores, and there is no better index to the enter prise of a merchant than the liberal manner in which he ad vertises. Out paper is full of advertisements this week and only a cursory glance is neces sary to show that the advertis ers are among Darlington’s foremost merchants. In this connection it is proper to call the attention of our readers to the new advertisements of Mes srs Joye & Sand ts, Edwards & Co., and Normert& Co. These are all well known and reliable I merchants. Messrs McCall & Burch have an interesting change in their advertisement. ADORNING T IE SQUARE. A Large and Handsrme Brick Building Shortly to b^ Erected. The Public Stiuare will soon be adorned by ai other large and handsome brick building. On the northwest si le of the Square are the vacant b tsof Mr H. M. Smith and Miss Mary Jane Gandy and upon these the building will shortly be erected. It has been decided to have two stores at least in the building, both facing the Square, but it is not improbable that the num ber of stores w ill be increased to four, three fronting on the Square and one on Orange Street. The building in either event will be two stories high and Mr. Smith and Miss Gandy have now under consideration the advisability of fitting up the second floor as a first class opera house. AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. Election of Officers for the Ensuing Yesrforthe Darlington Auxilliary. In accordance with the pre vious announcement, Rev. T. H. Law, superintendent of the American Bible * Society for North and South Carolina, con ducted services in the Presby terian Church on Sunday last, morning and right. At the conclusion of the night service the Darlington Auxilliary to the American Bible Society was reorganizes! and the following officers were electenl for the en suing year : President, Rev. J. G. Law ; Secretary and Treas urer, D. G. Coit; Executive Committee, J. G. McCall, S. H. Wilds and E. R. Cox. The pas tors of the town are ex-officio Vice Presidents. The Grand Army of the Re public has furnished completely | a ward in the Confederate hos pital at Richmond. This was done as a recognition of the! njany courtesies hown old Un ion soldiers by the ex-Coufed- erat^ss of that city. i ABOUT ASSISTANT COUNSEL. The Employing of Lawyers Under the Old Regime and the New. [Newberry Herald and Ncwh.] The editor of the Herald and News remembers to have been present at the campaign meet ing at Greenville at the opening of the campaign in 1890 and to have heard the first speech of Gov. Tillman in that famous campaign. We remember dis tinctly what a great fuss he made over former administra tions having spent the State’s money in paying lawyers who had been employed to assist in the conduct of certain litigation, when there was a paid Attorney General and eight solicitors paid by the State, and intima ted that it was a waste of the State’s money and charged it up to former administrations as ex travagance. During his admin istration there has been more litigation than in any adminis tration, at least, for the past sixteen years, and in every one of these numerous causes there has been additional counsel em ployed. We do not say that it was not necessary, but judged by Gov. Tillman’s own stand ard it would seem that he has been extravagant even beyond any of his predecessors. There has been a lawsuit with the Coosaw, the Agricultural Hall case, the railroad cases and various other cases, and in all of them assistant counsel has been employed, and in the rail road cases the Governor has gone out of the State for his lawyers and employed J. Ran dolph Tucker and J. J. Darling ton. These are high priced law yers and will have to be paid by the State and the people will have to be taxed to meet all these bills. This we presume is reform, and if the people who have the bills to pay are satisfied we shall not interpose any objection, but it is well occasionally to refresh our memories and compare per formance with promise.
