BSFOEM IN PUBLIC OPINION.
r> Public opinion is far-reaching in its j
effects. 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.
The Tile and Stoneware will be kept at this
office for a while for the inspection of those
who would like to see them. They are, as
he says, ..'useful about the house, and pleasing
to the eye

It is a new iudustry with us "here, and is, I
believe, the only one in this country, or the
world, bornicg natural gas as fuel. The ?
stoneware is also burned with natural gas. j
It is undoubtedly a great improvement over '
any other fuel for such purposes. The tile is
used mostly for hearths, grate fronts, counter i
panels, &c, and bas a Sae egl-ct. Cine of the
patterns which surrounds the grate front
represents a vase with vine on which are
cupids and birds, &c.. There are two of Mrs.
Cleveland's portraits in the box (the same as
that sent to her framed a short time ago) ono
of which 1 wish voa io give to friend Jervey
