Letter From Wedgefield,
WEDGEFIELD, March 20,1S94.
The Coroner's Jury in the case of the mur?
der of Mr. JDO. E. Gayden hus not jet arrived
at a verdict. It baa bad repeated meetings,
and yesterday adjourned to meet again on
next Wednesday, (to-morrow week,) 28tb
instant. It has, though, on evidence lately
adduced, recommended the release of Ron t
Weeks from jail. It is generally believed
around here now, that neither Weeks nor
Andrews had anything to do with either the
attempted robbery at Eas to ver or the murder,
and it i? supposed that the two acts were com?
mitted by different parties, Gayden being
mistaken for some one else. Everything
though it seems, is only conjectural. Ii is
astonishing how little we know, eleven days
after the heinous crime committed at Eastover
OD the night of the 9th instant, and a few
boors later the most brutal, uncalled for and
cold-blooded murder committed at this place
that was ever perpetrated. But while all
this is true, people of every class and condi?
tion have never worked with more untiring
energy and zeal to bring criminals to justice.
In this connection I will simply add that the
people of Wedgefield did all that they could
. in the matter, and their only regrets were
that they could do no more. Even this much
would not have been said ba i it not been for
the very unjust and misleading statement
published in last Tuesday's Freeman, furnish?
ed by "parties7'from Richland, etc. Who?
ever these parties may have been the private
letter of Mr. Franeis H. Weston, published in
this issue of the Watchman and Southron and
requested te be published in Freeman, I trust
and feel assured,* will put our good people
where they belong in the eyes of every fafr
minded and unbiased person. It ts generally
known that Mr. Weston is the leader and ad?
viser of-the Richland posses which went ont
on the matter in question. Consequently,
what might have been said by some ot perhaps
less importance and might be irresponsible,
cannot outweigh Mr. Weston's letter, and the
word of all the good people of Wedgefield
whose generosity, patriotism and ever ready
desire to reward the good and punish the
wicked, is so well known.
Some of our leading citizens are working
up cases against several parties who have been
destroying tbe fish by wholesale in our
streams ia Wateree Swamp, by means of dy?
namite cartridges, and as they have good data
to work on, the guilty parties will we hope
soon be brought to justice.
The Rev. B. C. Lampley, being quite sick
at his home in Summerton was unable to fill
bis appointment here on last Sunday, but
sent the Rev. Mr. Sublett in bis place, who
preached to a crowded boose.
Next Friday being Good Friday, Rev. John
Kershaw will conduct Divine service at State
burg.
Miss Emmie James, of Darlington, is visit?
ing Miss Bettie Aycock.
Miss Gertrude Waddill, of Cheraw, who
has been visiting Miss Lucy Singleton, return?
ed to Sumter last Sunday afternoon, where she
is teaching in -the Graded School. j
There was a very pleasant sociable at the
residence of Mr. A. E. Aycock on last Friday
evening.
Mr. G. P. Hartsoe is very ill at his home
near Wedgefield.
Miss Lucile McKie, wbo bas been visiting
friends ir. to wo, returned to her borne in
Edgefield County, this a. m.
Mr. J. Scott George, with bis bicycle, from
Mayesville, spent last Sunday in town.
Chief cf Police Weeks, of your city, spent
yesterday in Wedgefield in tbe interest of
Robt. Weeks. Be carried back good news to
the young man, whose innocence has been
proven.' _. _
A Letter of Acknowledgment to the
People of Wedgefield.
EASTOVER, -S. C., March 18, 1894.
DE. F. M. DWIGHT, Wedgefield, S. C.,
.Mj Dear Frank: I was commissioned by tbe
gentlemen wbo composed the posse thal
visited Wedgefield on tue 10th instant io pur?
suit of the murderers of Mr. Gayden, to ex?
press to the citizens of Wedgefield their pro?
found gratitude for the many evidences of
kindness which was received at their hands.
I request ;hat you convey to the people of
your town our sincere thanks. We will
always keep a lively remembrance of tbe
neighborly feeling which makes us all realize
in our hour of trouble, that whatever our
political differences may be, above all we are
South Carolinians. Personally your people,
by their extreme kindness, has placed me
under obligations to them that I can never
discharge. 1 hope the sad necessity that re?
quired your assistance may never befall yon,
but if it does, rest assured the people of my
community will, as one mau, rally to your
support. Of these true noble men, of lower
Richland, I need not speak to you. ? I cannot j
forbear however to say that in the discbarge
of their duty on 'this occasion, I am justly
proud. Nothing has been able to deter them
in their determination to capture the mur?
derers of our lamented friend. They have
endured all manner of privation without a
murmur. No undertaking bas been too dan?
gerous to prevent numbers from volunteering.
They have displayed virtues which I recall
with great pride, and I shall always cherish
a heart full of love for these men.
What I have said about my own fellow
citizens, I know, if the opportunity bad pre?
sented itself, could be said about the men of
Wedgefield. 1 found them always ready and
willing to respond to any call that was made
upon them, and tbeir great kindness and
attention to us will not be forgotten. 1 wish
I could thank them individually. This I will
trust to you. Please excuse baste. With
kind regards to Mrs. Dwight, I remain, your
sincere friend, FBABCBH WESTON.
Death of the Wife of Bishop Har?
grove
We are pained to announce the death ;
of Mrs. Barnet C. Hargrove, wife of
Bishop Robert K. Hargrove. This sad event, |
brought about by a sudden attack of
pneumonia, took place at ber home in West
Nashville, on the moroiog of the 27th ult.
Mrs. Hargrove was born in Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
in the year 1832. Her father, Captain David ?
Scott, was a very wealthy and influential
planter and merchant; and her mother, nee
Miss Stella Houghton, a sister of the present
head of the'great publishing bouse of Hough?
ton & MifiBin, was & woman of extraordinary
intelligence and piety. Mrs. Hargrove was
educated at Summerfield, Ala., nader the
tuition of the venerable Dr. A. H. Mitchell.
At a very early, age she was converted, and
joined tbe Church of her parents. Ia her
twenty-first year she was married to the
young mi o ister whose faithful wife she re?
mained for forty-two years. Her ebaracier
was adorned with many nobie traits. She
was a sincere Christian and a true friend. ,
Her home was a centre of genuine hospitality.
She took great interest in the poor and suffer?
ing, contributing both personal attention
and money to their relief. Her devotion to
the Church never flagged. To the last she
kept a class io the Sunday school, and taught
it punctually and diligently in spite of many
physical infirmities. Funeral services were
held in McKendree Cnurcb. a great concourse
being present. Mrs. Hargrove's pastor, Rev.
J. W. Cherry, made a most f?licitons address.
He was followed in brief talks by Revs. H. S.
McBride, Geo W. Winn, Thos. L. Moody arjd
J. D. Barbee, each one of whom had at some
time or other been her pastor. The whole
service was marked by simplicity, sobriety
and tenderness ; it left a deep impression on
all who were present. The body was laid to
rest in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.-Nashville Advo?

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. March 19, 1894
! What will President Cleveland
I with the Bland bil! fur the coioa
! of the seigniorage, now in his hand
i There is more anxiety among dem
j crats to have this qaestioo answer
I than has been observable for a loi
I time. It involves a great Meal mo
! than the mere coinage of 55,000,0'
silver dollars, for which it provid*
It will 'decide whether the atteai
now being made to unite the democra
in Congress and the administration on
basis of let-by-gooes-be-by-gones shi
be a failure, or a success that w
enable the party to go into tl
! Congressional campaign with a reaso
able hope of retaining control of tl
House. It may also decide the fa
of tbe tariff bill, as there are mai
democrats in both House and Sena
whose constituents are more direct
interested iu silver tba? in the taril
A number of eastern democrats wi
did everything in their power to prevei
Congress passing the Bland bill a
now advising tbe President to sign tl
bili, or at least to allow it I
become a law without Signatare
he feels that he caanot conscientious]
sign it, and silver democrats who ha*i
not been to the White House sine
the big silver fight at the exti
session have gone to Mr. Clev<
land and urged as a matter of part
policy that the bili be allowed to b<
come a law. The silver democrats (
the west and south-how oumeroi
they are tn Congress may be seen b
referring to the vote on this bill i
both House and Senate-many (
whom supported the administrado
against their own conviction in seem
ing the repeal of the purcbasin
clause of the Sherman silver law, sa
that the veto of this bill will b
accepted as proof positive by thousand
of their constituents that Presiden
Cleveland is unalterably opposed t
silver, and that the result woul
certainly be disastrous in the Congress
ional elections. Three members c
the cabinet-Secretaries Gresham
Smith and Herbert-have advised Mt
Cleveland to sign the bill. It i
believed tbat the delegation of Ne\
York bankers who are here askiog tba
the bill be vetoed are adding to it
chances of becoming a law. In fact
there has been a change in public opin
ion within a week, and a majority not
believe that the bill will become a law
with or without the President's signa
ture.
The revised tariff bill will be reporte;
j to the Senate this week, and the debat?
begin Monday, April 2. This ii
authentic and official. No one cai
possibly regret the unexpected dela]
in getting the bill before the Senat?
more than the democratic memben
of the Finance committee do. Tbej
have worked until they are almost io s
state of exhaustion, but fresh ob?
stacles have constantly confronted them,
and as they could not be avoided they
have had to be overcome. Since the
bill bas been before the full committee
tbe republicans have taken advantage
of every opportunity to add to the
delay, and owing to the absence o?
Senator Vance, these opportunities
have been frequent. The fact should
not be forgotten by critically inclined
democrats that when all of the members
of the Fiuance committee are present
tbe democrats have only one majority.
With one democratic absentee the
committee is a tie politically. It was
the absence of Senator Yance tbat
enabled the republicans on the com
mittee to stave off the beginning of the
debate until April 2.
Unless all indications are at fault the
administration will soon start a pro?
gramme that will cause the working
democrats to enter the Congressional
campaign with enthusiasm. I cannot
without violating confidence enter into
particulars, but if this programme be
carried out the republicans who still
remain in federal offices, outside the
classified service, would better be look?
ing around for new jobs, unless they
have money enough to spend the
summer in idleness. Those democrats
who believe that the offices under
a democratic administration should be
filled by democrats will be pleased with
some things that will occur in the near
future, unless my information is wrong.
Representative Tucker, of Va., al
though not yet 41 years old, has a right
to feel proud of the part he has taken
in shaping the legislation of the present
Congress. Although there were
several other bills providing for the
same thing it was his bill for the repeal
of the federal election laws that was
reported, passed and which became a
law. Another compliment has just
been paid the skill of Mr. Tucker by
the House committee on the election of
President and Vice President and
Representatives in Congress, which
selected his joint resolution providing
fo'r a Constitutional amendment for the
election of Senators by direct vote of
the people, although there were several
others of a similar nature before the
cqanmittee, to be favorably reported to
the House.
The House has been working faith?
fully on the regular annual appropria?
tion bills and it has beeu making a good
record both in the quantity o? business
done and in the amouu: of money
appropriated-every appropriation has
been reduced materially.

? A LABOR CRUSADE
j _
j One of the most remarkable signs
j the rimes is outlined in the fol lowie
i telegram to the New Herald of Sundaj
I dated Masillon, Ohio, March 17.
"1 propose to march forth from th
city at noon ou Easter Sunday next ?
the head of a cavalcade that will strik
terror Iii the hearts of those who bav
been abusing their power by legtslatin
in favor of the rich against the pooi
My destination is the Capitol i
Washington, D. C. My object is t
demand of Congress thd passage of th
non-interest bearing bond bill prepare
by the J. S. Coxey Good Road
Association of the United States.
"Upon my departure from Massillo
I am at this time uoable to accurate'
estimate the number of lovers of bones
government who will follow me, but m
impression iis that there will be at tb
least calculation five hundred of us
When we reach the Capitol I will bav

over one hundred thousaod persons. 1
not, I bave misjudged humanity am
have been misled by advices sent m
from my agents in all parts of th
United States. At this time I wonh
prefer not to make public my entir
following. The undertaking is a bug
one."
Thus spoke J. S. Coxey, of Paul'
Station, a hamlet five miles north o
Massillon.
Arrangements have been about con
eluded for seven thousand acres o
land in Washington, owned by Senato
Stewart, of Nevada, upon which th*
army is to camp. Editor Redstone, o
the National Tocsin, is the agent
When the army reaches that city Red
stone will meet it with the uoempioyet
of Washington ac?d vicinity, and escor
it to the Capitol.
When these pilgrims have surround
ed the Capitol with a hollow square
they will separate into groups accord
?Dg to their Congressional districts, an<
will call upon their R-epresen tali ves t<
come out. They will be petitioned ?<
feed the army during its stay.
Congress will be demanded to pas*
two bills. One provides for the issuing
of $500,000,000 in legal tender notes,
to be expended by the Secretary of Wai
at the rate of $20,000,000 a month in
constructing roads in the various States,
Common labor is to be paid $1 50 a
day for eight hours' work. Anothet
bill is to provide than any State oi
municipality down to a village desiring
to make public improvements may
deposit with the ' Secretary of the
Treasury non-interest bearing bonds
not exceeding one-hsdf the assessed
valuation of its property upon which the
Seoretary of the Treasury shall issue
legal tender at ninety-eight per cent of
their face value. Jerry Simpson is to
be asked to introduce these bills.
Said he in closing :-"Trades and
labor assemblies freely indorse our
plans, and we are promised contribu?
tions in nearly every State iu the Union.
The Economies, the Pennsylvania
communistic society, have assured us
of substantial support. We have a
Philadelphia letter assuring us that
20,000 will go from there to Wash?
ington by rail. Perry, Oklahoma,
promises to send a train load and
Cbillicothe, Mo., another.
TO SELL CARTOONS.
"As to the expenses, two original
cartoons on roads and road work will
be sold along the line for the inciden?
tal expenses. Iodviduals must count
upon paying their own living expenses,
but these will be materially lightened
by the contributions of provisions
which are promised all along the
line"
Coxey's son is to ride at the head of
the army. He will wear a combina?
tion suit of blue and gray and
carry the white flag of peace which is
the emblem of the Commonwealth.
The grand army, setting out next
Sunday, expects to reach Washington
May 1. Its progress will be watched
with iuterest.

Death of Dr. Ferdinand Jacobs.
Dr. Ferdinand Jacobs died at the home of
bis daughter, Mrs. Henry Sperry, at Nash?
ville, Tenn., on Saturday. To many friends
throughout the State this intelligence will
bring sorrow but perhaps to none more than
to the women to whom he was '.he model of a
Christian and a gentleman, when he was
President of the Laurensvilie Female College,
thirty years ago when the institution was in
the zenith of its popularity. Dr. Jacobs was
a Presbyterian minister and at the bead of
the college here first in sixty-one and then
again in seventy-eight. After a residence in
the low country for several years, he came
back to Laurens and had charge of the
institution tor a short period.
He leaves a wile, three daughters and two
sons. His daughters are Mrs. Henry Sperry,
Mrs. Wreu, and Miss Bessie Jacobs. His sons
are Dr. W. P. Jacobs, President of the Thorn
well Orphanage and Rev. Ripley Jacobs,
who is thc pastor of a church in Texas.
To his family in their distress a great
sympathy goes out from the hearts of the
