It is more efficacious than law. | Forsooth it is the very foundation of law. For law is the very embodiment of organized sentiment. The voiee of the people is supreme, and it is to this great power we will have to look for se? curity and protection against evils so prolific lately of horrible consequences. Heretofore the law on our Statute Book against carrying concealed weap? ons has been a mere nullity because it lacked the essential qualiry of public opinion at its back to make it effective. Consequently all attempts to eradicate this evil bas been futile. A miserable miscarriage of outraged justice. To reason otherwise on this subject is folly. This law has been a failure because public opinion willed it so. But reac? tion has come at last. The consciences of one and all have been awakened from a long steep, and public opinion of a most pronounced character has been put j upon its oath not only to root out this j great evil, but to erect an altar to peace j and justice at whose shrine the citizens j of Sumter County wila worship hence? forth. A WHOLESOME G KAR GE. Judge Pressley's charge to the Grand Jury of Orangebufg Couuty cn last Monday was a most wholesome one in? deed, and its effects upon the country at large are bound to be felt. Much may alwaye be done by a good and in? dependent judge to mould public opin? ion.and hasten the time for.reformation generally. Any judge who will sit quietly on the beech like a mummy without reflecting an enlightened senti? ment, has certainly a very inadequate sense of his duty. For obvious reasons judges sometimes are afraid to modify public opinion, as it is often politic to touch very gingerly upon certain sub- ! jects, and consequently much of the j good influence that should come from ? this great source is Jost on account of j * the kid-glove policy. Nothing condu? ces, more to correct the abuses of the law and the crying evils of the day than the unequivocal and emphatic utterances of the judge as he is warranted in making by the circumstances of the cases under judicial investigation. Stern duty de? mands this much and no less will satisfy the people, let the position of the par? ties oa trial be high or low, rica or poor. The independence of a judge i should never be threatened by any cir- j cumstat ce. The people must have a j guarantee that law is law in all cases j tried. j The offence of carrying concealed ! weapons is itself on its trial and the ! verdict has generally been in its favor. The citizens of Sumter eoooty can now recognize this fact to its fullest extent. The Wateree Messenger of yesterday j gays : "we aregbd to see that the atice- j tion of the people is being called by our newspapers and our public ofScer3 to the flagrant mao-ner in which the law against carrying concealed weapons is violated. Thi3 law is so openly dis- j regarded io certain sections that it j1 amounis to a dead letter. And the j fault lies not only with our juries, grand and petit, bat with public opinion zs well. At a recent term of the Gen-j . era! Sessions for Kershaw county, our \ grand jury refused to Sud several trus j bills for this offence, not because ? the evidence was not sufficient to estab- j li>h i case against the persons charged ; with ?bis misdemeanor, but forsooth ou j i the ground that they, the grand jury. {; did not think the law in regard to car- j ryiog concealed weapons was a good [ ?ne. The terrible occurrence io Sum-1 ter has brought home to all of os the j evils of this dangerous habir, and we ! trust that it will tend to lessen, if not j to Stop, the ric4atk>n of the statute ! against carrying deadly weapons con? cealed apon the person." Thc bope is iu?u?ged by many that j the time has passel when a judge, the ; attorney-general, a so?jciror or any o?fi- ; cial who has a control tin g iu? ?lenee in ; the trial of cases are ?pt to lean to the j aide of that party whese i::2uence in thc i next election may be most v-A?uabie to j him, or them as the case may be. Judge Presley's charge to ?bc Grand j Jury in Orangeburg County on last j Monday has the right ring. Hear ! him : j ?'I have always hc?d and believe that ! FW? crime is punished by organized , law it is very much wore wholesome in its effects than when i: is done by un- ; authorized p rsons illegally, it is the j duty of grand juries ail over the : State to make presentments upon this j matter and of ali good citizens to u>e i their influence to pat crime down. . "You should not onlv go into your ' ffrasd jury room determined to find a \ true bi!! against every man proved to ! your satisfaction to have carrie d a deadly weapon concealed, but you should pre- j sent this practice as an evil, as a dangerous evil and one which will lead ta the deSance of ail law-net so bad as ? lynching, but very nearly so. appeal to yo?, and to all who hear | me, that you shot?-d lose no opportunity : whatever to set your voices and faces against th^se two evils, one of which is : introdoeing anarchy over this country ; and the other xs introducing a habit ia . oar community under which, if it con? tinues to grow, no man will be safe.*' People cf Sumter county, what say you ? POOR ECONOMY. The great harry in which many very important bills were rushed through without due consideration in the last General Assembly famishes the very best commentary upon clieap economy. So important an Act as the one to amend the "Act to create a Department of Agriculture," defining its purposes, duties, etc., was driven through in one day. Consequently it was passed in a slip-shod shape, and the question of the validity of the Board of Agriculture bod to be referred to Attorney-General Earle who after much study on the question has decided that the election of the same was legal. As a matter of coarse if the opinion of the Attorney-General should not be satisfactory the matter will be adjudicated by the Court. If more time bad been given to the proper con? sideration of the bill it would have bad all of the essential features to stamp its ; legality upon the very face of the Act I as it should have been passed by the Genera* Assembly. Quick and rough work is dear at any price, and the quicker our law-makers realize this the better for their constituents. Important Information. As a matter of news we accidentally came in possession the other day during a conver? sation with Mr. A. S. Brown of some im? portant information for the farmers of this county. As an experiment, last year, he planted a twenty acre 5eld of ordinary land with "The Allen Long Staple Seed,"'* aad from this investment he has realized nineteen five hundred weight bales of cotton of the most superior lint, which the local buyers hare pronounced the finest they have ever seen, and which ?rade of cotton can always bricg in any market from 3$ to 4 cents more a pound than the average cotton produced in this State. When cotton was Sh in this mar? ket Mr. Brown refused 12 cents for his Allen Long Staple Golton. Mr. Brovrn has letters now from Northern cotton buyers, and, also, from some in Au? gusta, requesting him to send them samples of his Allen Long Staple Cotton. It is stated that if this cotton is carefull ginned and packed it eau easily be sold for 15 cents per pound. In compliance with urgent requests from cotton buyers tn the U~:ied States Mr. BrowD has sent a good many samples of Allen Long Staple Cotton for examination, and every buyer who has seen it has pronounced it as of the very finest quality. As the Allen Long Staple Cotton has proven to be suth profitable investment to Mr. Brown, he intends to discard all other kinds of cotton seed and plant none oilier but this. Big Christmas Present and an In? teresting Letter from a former Eesident of Sumter. The proprietor of the Watclanan and Soutii- \ ron received in due time after its date, the j subjoined letter and also the articles referred ! to therein. The writer of the letter left here j about seven years aso for his present home, j and those of our citizens who were sufficiently j acquainted with him to appreciate the honest j and true Scobmrnaji that he was, will he glad to learn tba- he bas prospered by the change.
