Mistrial or a Verdict of Manslaughter, With a Rec ommeodation to Mercy, Expected. Spartaoburg, Jan. 19.-Argumeots were made ia the Newbold osee this morning by W. S.Thomasoo, Col. Wm. Mooro and Col. 0. M. So ha m pe rt for the defeoce, and by C. P. Sims, Capt. A. J. Mooney and Solicitor Sease for the State. Judge Benet charged the jary for an hoar and gave them the cate at 6 o'clock. At thia hour (10.15 p. m.) they have not txrived at a verdict It is thought quits likely that there will be a mistrial, ind about the most that is looked for is toan slaughter, with recommendation to mercy The eade is said to have bee ti badly managed by the State. Solicitor Sease is an inexpe? rienced attorney, and Mr. Tomer's fam? ily bad provided able assistant co un se I for him. He was not disposed to co-oper? ate with them, however, ?nd there was som? friction amooj; them as to the con. daos of the case. It is understood that he went against their advice ia several important matters, and paid no atten? tion to Lt io others. When Newbold introduced evidence to prove his repu? tation for good chat acter and cool loess and prudence, he was advised to bring forward evidence to prove the contrary, as be ?enid easily have done, bot be de? clined so do so.

However, at 10:30, sifter the judge bad been call? ed the jory handed in a verdict of "Not goUty." There was some little applause from ex-constables and a few others. Court adjourned sine die to-day. Insurance and Suicide. The United States Supreme court last Monday rendered one of the most im portant decisions that has borne from that tribunal in some time. The ease wis one in which the heirs of a mao who had committed suicide sued to re cover a large am a ont of i oso rao ce OD his life The plaintiffs Won tba case io the lower court, bot the supreme eoort held that no insurance could be recovered on an in sorance policy held by a mao who was sane when he committed suicide. The decision implies that the eoort does not accept the commonly held theory that no suicide is in his right mind. The court argued that to compel tb* pay ta enc of policies ?ooh as tho&e in qoestioc weald bi to put a premium upoo self-destruction by offering inoeo tives which might overe?me those who?e only hesitancy about committing suicide is the fear of leaving destitute persons who are dependent upon them If, by insuring their lives heavily and paying a tithe cf the premium required by tboe om pan iee they could make sore of the support of these survivors this bar to suicide, which may be fairly considered as infiueoeiog many men to prevent their self-destruc? tion, w^rtld be withdrawn. This is pretty good reasoning, bat iosurance is ofieo paid where ail the evidence goes to ?how that the holder of the polioy was sane and plaooed bis self destruction with the utmost delib? eration. Some insurance companies confider it good polioy to pay all such ol a i m 9 without question. The effect of the supreme court's decision will certainly be, how? ever, to increase litigation over the paymeot of insurance policies where the question of .suicide is ra's *d.-At? lanta Journal.

Alien McQaary, of Neosho, Mo , who is riding around the world io win a fortune and a eharmiog Arkan? sas girl, ca DOO into town* laut evening at 6 o'clock, and after putting bis sturdy little Indian pony up called oo Post? master Mowry and got bim to sigo a statement to the effect that he had been in this oity. Young McQaary is a handsome youth, whose persooal ap? pearance would attract attention even without the aid of the gay cos turne be wears. This consists of a velvet jaoket aed knickerbockers, a bright hued shirt and a black sash The wearing of this garb is a part of bis contract. He is getting used to the conspicuousness of lt now, however, and goes riding merrily forward like a k night of old With the conviction that wealth, health aod happiness await him at the end of his long journey. From here be will sail for Jacksonville, after disposing of his trusty little horse, and from there he will go tb Cuba. Having touched Central Amerioa, he will eros*' the Atlantic ocean ZB? on around the world aboard ship ootil be reaches California Ooee on American soil agaio he will take horse again and ride back to Arkansas and bis lady love. He is to accomplish this journey with? out receiving a dollar which he does not earn on the trip. Wheo he earns into Charleston last night he had riddeo nearly 3,000 miles Mr. McQaary has with him a num? ber of papers aod other credentials, which leave oo doubt of the fact that he has done aili that he claims to have done.

The Voice of Veterans. We referred yesterday to the fact that many of the most indignant pro tests against pension fraude and many of the strongest demands for the purging of the pension roll came from. Union veterans who have bad opportunities to learn how outrage? ously our pension system is abased. An instance in point is furnished by the recent action of. Encampment No 1 of the Union Legion of Penn sylvania, located at Pittsburg This encampment adopted a few days ago the following resolutions: "Whereas, Encampment No. 1, Union Veteran Legion of Pennsylva? nia, in encampment, composed of more than 1,000 veterans whose av erage term of Service is more than three years and two months, yet of whose membership not 50 per cent is on the pension roll, and of this per? centage fuur fifths are on the rolls of wounds received in line of doty, views with regret the alarming in crease of pensions, many cf which, we greatly fear, have been granted to undeserving men, and are at variance in many cases with the services ren? dered the government; but believing and insisting that liberal pensions should be granted for wounds receiv? ed and disabilities contracted in the service of the government, and that the granting of a just pension is not an act of charity, but one of justice, and that tte pension roll should be a roll of honor; therefore, be it "Resolved, that we are opposed to the pension act of 1S90, known as the indigent pension bill, as opening the door to frauds aud perjury, to the granting of pensions to substitutes and those who have rendered but lit tie, if any, service to the government and that we are also opposed to the granting of all special pensions." The honest and deserving veterans of the Pittsburg encampment hold in proper contempt the bounty jumpers and other frauds who have schemed their way to the pension roll. They demand that the pension list shall be a roll of honor, and that all names which are not there on merit be stricken. If the veterans who did the real fighting in the Union armies had their way there would be a review of the pension list which would result in its reduction to a very great ex? tent -Atlanta Journal. Darlington. Jan. 19.-There have been no quarantine orders issued by the town authorities of Darlington The police are on the lookout for ac? tual cases of smallpox only, and per? sons were stopped last night on ac? count of misapprehension of orders Habana. Jan. 19 -General Lube repoits that while reconnoitering dur ing the past 10 days in the San Mar? tin districts of Holguin he inflicted a loss of 30 men killed ou the insur gents. In addition, ho adds, his troops captured seven prisoners, 38 rides and a quantity of ammunition. The Spanish column, according to General Luqe, had one man killed and 21 wounded. 'Possums and Politics. The recent political 'possum sup per at Newnan ha? caueed a good deal of comment, one of ?he beat of which comes from "Bill Aip" On tbe 11 'poesurn" side of the question, '.Bill" says : ? 'Possum' seems to be the slogan of State politics. It is among the first Latin words 1 ever learned to decline, and means 'I am able/ As a filthy varmint I decline it still, and if I had been invitad to tLe feast I should have replied nun possum I can eat crow, but not 'possum. A buzzard wonld be as palatable; for one is a day scavenger and the other hunts for carrion by night Not long ago Mr. Hale told me at Rising Fawn that his boy caught three on three successive nights by setting his steel trap on a dead dog in the woods, and Mr. .Yoong told me yes terday that the last one bis dog treed was in the carcass of a dead horse. .Now, if a 'possum is kept np in a ! coop or pen for a month his oily car ! cass might be fitted for a scalawag or a hungry darky. Colonel Cand? ler in his letter sings the praises and the oily juices of the Nortb Georgia 'possum, but tums up his nose at the piny woods breed. The differ ence is that dead dogs and hogs and mules are few and far "between in the piney woods, and the 'possums can't get enough carrion to get fat But 'possum is jost now the political fad, and a politician will eat any? thing for office, except crow. They don't like that Dr Miller used to say that he could eat crow, but he didn't hanker after it We college boys used to have 'possum suppers away in the night, but Hansel, who furnished them, kept; them up and stall fed them. The chief satisfac tion, however, was in breaking the rules and dodging the professors and tutors Jim Warren and Chess How? ard used to give midnight suppers and pull up the 'possum and tat ers :n a basket by a rope and take it in at a third-story window." ---mmm . . 4mm Ex Governor Chamber iain is grow, ing JU Wisdom and grace.

"When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which wonld fester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the li ttle sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve? ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never ?ince returned." WILLIAM BARTZ, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
