I QI^LA PODRIDA, Wbat Our Editor? Say? ) Another C?se of Edgefteld bastide. ^ . : - ?tftira&a Register. The public sentiment everywhere outside of Edgefiekt will receiye an other and a more violent shoek than any which has been given by the atrocities heretofore perpetrated in that lawless section of the world by the announcement of the result of the $ -trial of Jones for the murder of the ' first of tue three Press?ey's who fell under the, murderous fire of his shot gun. The trial of Jones was begun on Monday of last week and continued until Thursday when ft was brought to a close by the feilure of the jury to agree upon a verdict. The jory stood one for murder, five for man 1 ; slaughter and'six for acquittal. ~ _T??e usual plea of insanity was not set up>,btk the line of defense was that the killing was1 justifiable on the ground that the slain man was a trespasser and the slayer was defend? ing his castle. A weak plea of self defense was also urged. Against this theory irrefutable proof was furn? ished that ihe Pressley's were the rightful holders of the land from the_ State, Jones himself having attached his name as a witness to the instru? ment by which the agent of the State had put PressJey in -possession, and --tfcaV-the victim was found to have been shot first fatally through the i body on the right side and the second time on the left side, and that when 'found where he was instantly killed the only weapon m his possession . Twas, a pocket knife in his pocket and closed up. These facts. showed that there was absolutely no plea or ex? cuse to mitigate the atrocious mur? der, and yet but one man of the twelve was willing to say it was r?jmur|fer. What is to be said of the 'condition of society where such a verdict in 'such a case is possible ? And what is to be the outcome of a public' sentiment where such killing is regarded as-no murder. ~ ~ It is stated in connection with this trial that one bf the jurors -of the panel who tried this case . was chal? lenged by tie. State on the ground .thaine was not the man* whose name had been placed on the jury lists, al? though bearing the same name ; that the. person intended had died since his name had been placed on the list, and that the person responding to the subpoena was a son of the deceased. lu spite" oT these facts~he was per? mitted -?by Judge'Aldrich, to be sworn on the jury. .K^B?s?des not being the person actu. -rally placed upon the lists, this juror it is declared, was further disqualified : by having declared .openly before the trial that he would never consent to a I 'verdictagainst the-?ccused. ~ "Two other trials await the murder er-for kfiHog-two other victims of his wrath on the same occasion, one an -aged cripple who bad passed his. three score years and ten, and was - ;to?.N feeble to-make a demonstration offensive or defensive against the ^aonster, and was deliberately killed because ?e was a relative of the first two victims and was near at hand. Judge Aldrich, of his own-motion, continued these cases until the. next - term,-by which time it ia to be hoped that twelve vmen can be found on the jury ??8ts;of Edgeheld who are willing c to .say On their oaths as jurors that rmurc*er is murder. Tue result of this trial was not a surprise to any one, bat so much the worse for Edgefield. ^ Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer. '? For the past three or four weeks there has been a good .deal of excite? ment going on;on the Texas and Hexican frontiers, in consequence of the arrest and trial of an editor named A. K. Cutting by the Mexican au? thorities. A war feeling on both sides of the Bio Grande has been aroused and much is being said about an open and armed rupture between .the United States and the Aztec . nation. If we understand the facts ' correctly, we have no idea there will be any war about the matter. Cu t xrting, -It seems, published a libel -against ? Mexican citizen for which he was arrested and about to be tried before ' avcourt of justice. f He ,then adjusted the matter with the libeled *man, promising to make a published retraction. Instead of doing as he promised, he went over to the Texas side of the river and there published in his own paper and also another journal, a statement that was a reiteration of the libel. For this act he is liable to prosecution under the Texas statutes. Ile next takes a number of the paper in which were printed the repeated libel and published them ou Mexican soil. This act was a violation of Mexican law, for which ke is justly amendable, and for which he has no doubt been properly tried, convicted and sen? tenced to imprisonment. These are the plain facts of the case, and we cannot see why the Government at Washington should be called on to have anything to do with the matter. It surely will not undertake to shield one of its citizen? when he is being punished for violating Mexican law. Besides, Cutting is stated to be a man of very indifferent character. It would be a shame for the two coun? tries, now at peace with each other, and who are % coming together com? mercially more intimately every year, to go to killing each other's citizens and destroying each other's property for any such cause or any such man. The great Gladstone of England not many months ago averted a war with Russia, when there was seemingly much more probable cause for ao ap? peal to arms than there exists ia this case. The Farmer's Movement. Carolina Spartan. We at e in earnest about the farm? ers' movement. It made a good start. The reading farmers of the State were aroused. They felt the time had come for united and intelli? gent effort. Having suddenly got rid of human slavery they also de? sired to be emancipated from the slavery to factors and money lenders. They wished to become free indeed. But the farmers must remember that enthusiastic conventions, high-sound iriir. resolutions, and the General Assembly, under the control of farm? ers, will not pay debts and lift mort? gages on Ihe farms. Even tho rc-1 peal of tb? Iren' ?aw will not nil the empty cribs with born and the barns with hay. They may vote and pass resolutions and enact laws until doomsday, and the meal tub' will be no faller m consequence thereof. The fact is the farmers' movement got oft on the wrong track. The en? gineer did not understand the busi? ness. Instead of moving forward slowly and cautiously on the track of real reform and progress, which is a steep up-grade, he dashed down the political side track that looked so inviting. Hence the derailment and the disaster worse than that of the Santee trestle. An attempt is made to rally the formers agaiu and that for the avowed purpose of controll? ing the General Assembly. If the real object of the farmers* movement is a political one and they are using ali this talk about bettering their condition as a sham in order to con? trol primaries, conventions and legis? latures, then the farmers movement will soon resolve itself into a political machine. But the real farmers' move? ment has hardly begun yet. One of the dangers is that farmers will be taught to look to conventions and spe? cial legislation to help them in their daily work. They somehow think labor will 5e improved by repealing the lien law and that all farmers in the legislature would bring blessings untold. Such teaching as this isa delusion. If there are debts on the farm they have to be paid by individ? ual effort. If labor is not trust? worthy, it must be improved by good example and good pay. If the crops are poor the.soil must be deep? ened and enriched. There must be general improvement in every nook and corner from the pig pen to the parlor. If a-convention, or any sort of meeting offers you any help, if it teaches you better how to do your work, then attend that convention. Do not be afraid to follow any 'Moses' who will, lead you to improved methods in farming, full barns, com? fort" and elegance about the home, good, healthful reading for the family. So not think for a moment the farm? ers' 'movement got a backset in Co? lumbia. It was not on trial there. Move forward, move slowly, move surely with an eye to individual suc? cess, and you will not foil. We Believe in the Fanner's. Barnwell Sentinel. We have always regarded the farm? ers of our County and State as deserv? ing of every particle of legislation that could in any. way better their condition as a class, and. we still hold to this idea ; but- we do not hesitate to say again what we said in the begiooiog of the farmers movement. That it will not do for the farmers to swallow all that Ben Tillman throws them. He not only tries to be the fanners leader, but plays the part of a very shrewd politician also. About this there can be no mistake. Orangeburg Tima and Democrat. For once in their journalistic lives our esteemed cotemporaries, the News and Courier and Columbia Register, have found something they agree about, and that is that the Ki cb land County delegation in the late State Convention voted wrong in supporting some of the candidates they did. If our friends will keep up the love-f?. ?t long enough it might ripen into enduring friendship. Who can say? Congress Adjourned. The first session of the 49th Congress which began December, 7, 1885 ended Aagnst 5th-a session of 241 days. Ia that time there were introduced only 13,202 bills and resolutions. Only a very few of these were of general or ! national importance. Pensions and private bills seemed to multiply, and altogether the session bas been barren of importance, and what was done has often been accomplished in two weeks. Millions of "Sunny Souths" Free.
