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.

A DOUBLE WEDDING.
An Auspicious Event in New York of
Interest to Darlingtonians.

ding—in Mr Jerkowski’s family.
On Monday next two of Mr.

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.

been somewhat delayed in their
movement. 1 an glad, howev

I that we hope theie will be no
further complaints about dplay-

NOT TILLMA 8'S VIEWS.
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

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.
