42 Cotton and 10c Beef
From the Daily Item
The fact that there are so many beef-stalls
in Sumter, Mr. Editor, is suggestive of many
things. A pla ?e. of this size, ander ordinary
?ad proper conditions, could sot support six
or eigbt renders of beef, nor am I sore that
they are ali being supported ; bot the bare
fact that so many are "thus seeking a suppor;
means something Almost every article of
food bas coate down in price, except the sin?
gle item of beef. Tbe butchers are ?eliiog it
to-day for eigbt and ten per ponnd, just as
they did ten year? ago, when cot too was
worth ten cents That it can be sold at all
for ten cents b*8 induced too great a number
of mee to enter upon the beef business. The
result ia that no coe of them is making an
overlarge support, b?casse the trade is too
much divided up If two men had the entire
beef trade of Sumter, at eight aod ten cents
per round, they would soon become ia de?
pend solly ri di.
What "is to be done? Ia the opinion of J
yonr bombie scribe, tbere is an opea way
some orfe rn;*, or may be for more, to make
money." The first man who will solicit pa?
tronage at fire and seven cents for beef will
?od that a targe proportion of the borers
wilt torn to bis stall. Let some one try it.
A week in the ousiness need not break bim.
He will be able to sell several beeves a day at
these figured, and while he may not make so
mue? on any single beef, he will make more
is the aggregate from increased sales than he
is making now. Of course, when one cuts
hifi price, others will follow snit; but tbs
wilie citizenship will patronize bim who first
brings down tbe price, jost as was done in
ir.? ice business.
B?E?-EDYE?.
Who Will Answer ?
ia>. Editor : Please allow the writer space
ir your columns tc ask two questions, which
coyer matters of great interest to oar citizens.
1st Will the Samter Light Infantry re?
organiza and gire os a good company for

2d. Why was the Associated Charities
Society, which was organized and officered
here -several mouths ago, strangled at its
birth ?
These questions are appropriate to the
times, and an answer from some ooe who
knows, wilt afrVc very interesting reading
to many persons in SUMTES.

QUALIFICATIONS
OF JURORS.
The Recent Decision in New?
berry not the First of Its
Kind.
To the Editor of the News and
Courier : In your editorial in to day's
issue under the heading "All Jurors
Must be Qualified Voters*'you state
that Judge Klugh had granted a new
trial in a case of aggravated assault
and battery at Newberry, because
one of the jurors who tried the case
on its first bearing was diqualified for
such service, inasmuch as he did not
possess a registration certificate, and
was therefore not a qualified elector.
You and your Newberry correspond?
ent have gotten the Judges somewhat
mixed. Judge D. A Townsend ie
holding the present term of Court at
Newberry, and he it was who granted
the new trial in this particular case.
Judge Klugh, so far as we know,
has never had the point raised before
him
You further state in the same
editorial "that this is the the first and
only case of the sort in this State.''
The decision in the case of the State
vs Hipp and wife, mentioned by
you. in which Judge Townsend has
granted" a new trial is not the first
case of the kind that has been decided
in this State In fact as long as two
years ago this same question was
raised in this county in the case of
DeWalt vs the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens Railroad Company. A
motion was made for a new trial by
Mr. Cole L Blease, representing
the plaintiff, upon the ground that
one of the jurors who served in the
case was not a qualified elector, he
having not registered under the.
Constitution of 1895 That was, I
think, the first time that the point
had been raised in this State, and
after careful and mature deliberation
Judge R. C. Watts decided that the
verdict was null and void, and grant?
ed a new trial. In recent decision
in the case of Garrett vs Wineberg.
the Supreme Court, in an opinion de?
livered by Mr Chief Justice Mc?
iver, has sustained the decision of
Judge Watts in the DeWalt case
upou the same point. The motion
in the Hipp case is the second time
that a new trial has been granted in
this county. Mr Blease also repre?
senting the parties who secured the
new trial in this case ; therefore to
Judge Watts belongs the credit of
having first rendered the decision
upon this point in this State. I
agree with you this "decision will
probably result in a more thorough
sifting of the jury lists in every coun?
ty of the State " At least it should
do so. I also agree with you in the
j "hope that it will not result in ere
ating a larger class of those who es
cape jory duty."

REFUGEE NEGROES
ASKED TO RETURN.
Mayor Waddell Anxious to
Keep Down Suffering.
Special to The State.
Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 14 ^-The
three visiting military companies, the
Sampson Guards, Kinston naval
reserves and the Clinton Guards, who
have done patrol duty since the race
war, were sent to their homes to day.
At a meeting of the board of
aldermen held to day, the chief of
police reported that he is sure his
present force of T5 police can, in
view of the general desire of the
people, white and colored, to have
peace maintained, easily give thor?
ough police protection throughout
the city. Then, too, if they should
be needed the local military, com?
posed of 150 men, with two rapid fire
guns, could be quickly called into
service
Mayor Waddell announced to-day
that investigation showed that there
are still hundreds of refugee negroes
hiding in the woods, the large
majority of them in dire need of food
He employed to day a large number
of reputable negroes and sent them
through the surrounding country
with the following notice : The
bearer is authorized to go out of the
chy into the surrounding country and
induce the negro refugees to return
to the city and be quiet and to assure
them that they will be fully protected
(Signed) A. M. Waddell, Mayor.

Carlyle Silence?* a Watchman.
Airer several visits in Scotland etas
j hy? the summer of 183S, Carlyle went
I borne again to i-cor.-brig. writes Charles
T. Copeland in Thc Atlantic. On his
re4fr.ru thence he spent a few days in
Manchester with Mrs. Hanning. "He
had been put to sleep in an old bed,
which he remembered in his father's
house." "I was just closing my senses
in sweet oblivion," wrote he, "when
the watchman, with a voice like the
deepest groan of the. highland bagpipe
or what an .ostrich corneraik might ut?
ter, groanec?out 'Groo-o-o-c!' close under
me and set me all in a gallop again.
'Groo-o-o-o !' for there was no articulate
announcement at all in it, that I could
gather. ' Groo-o -o-o ! ' repeated again and
again at various distances, dying out
and then growing loud again for an
hour or more.
"I grew impatient, bolted out of bed,
flung up the window. 'Groo-o-o-o!'
There he was, advancing, lantern in
hand, a few yards off me. 'Can't you give
up that noise?' I hastily addressed him,
' You are keeping a person awake. What
good is it to go howling and groaning
fell night and deprive people of their
sleep? He ceased from that time-at
least 1 heard no more of him. No
watchman, I think, has been more as?
tonished for some time back."
English Children sad Xegroes.
The negro is not so well known as
one might expect, considering that geog?
raphy is widely and often excellently
taught in our primary schools. The
ideas most frequently expressed con?
cerning him are that he is black and a
foreigner.
Here are some of the definitions: "A
black man who lives in India." "A
dark man who comes from America."
"A negro is ? slave we read of them in
'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' " "A gentleman
who lives in a foreign country."
The country children are even more
lively in their descriptions than the
town children : "A negro is a foreign
man with black skin all over him with
thick lips and curly black hair he goes
naked."
"A negro is a man and they lire in a
very hot country and they have little
huts to live in." "A negro is a black
man who acts in a circus."
"A negro is a man whose skin is al?
ways black, they are strong and they
live in huts, and do not wear clothes
and they shoot with a bow." "A negro
is a man what eats missionarys. " The
Sunday school missionary stories and
the traveling circus color the village
children's ideas on negroes.-National
Review.
Glycerin and Fore ord i na ti on.
A glycerin man in conversation with
a reporter the other day said that the
majority of those who are engaged in
the business of shooting wells believe
in foreorclination. "I think that a man
will not die till his time comes, " he
said. "A man is liable to die at any
calling, no matter how safe it may be
considered. He will pass through all
kinds of dangers and never sustain the
slightest injury. Then he is knocked
out of existence when he least expects it
"Glycerin, men have to be quite
nervy, but there is not one of them who
does not feel that he is in no great dan?
ger. They think they will live out their
allotted time and will not be blown up
until the predestined event is due. We
are handling death every day and know
it, but by the exercise of caution and
common sense there are but few of us
comparatively that are killed. The rail?
road men are much more liable to acci?
dental death than glycerin men are."

An ex-sea captain, now living in Syd?
ney, many years ago was in charge of a
ship carrying some convicts. The con?
victs mutinied, murdered the crew and
ordered the captain to navigate them to
the islands, and, being a prudent man,
he did so. When satisfied as to their
course, the convicts deliberated, decided
that he had behaved himself well and
put him ashore on the first large island
they came to. He was a musician and
took his violin with him. A threatening
crowd of savages greeted his arrival,
but Orpheus played to them till they
thought him a god, brought him unlim?
ited pigs and yams and bowed in adora?
tion. Finally he married the chief's
daughter, succeeded him and ruled the
island for years, till a ship called in and
he sailed away.-Sydney Bulletin.

Porpoise Oil.
Oils, animal, vegetable and mineral,
are second in importance to bnc few do?
mestic articles of commerce. Already
medicinally invaluable in the bygone
ages of hand labor, lubricants have be?
come almost a condition of existence in
this century of machinery, and of all
oils porpoise oil is the finest, the most
difficult to obtain, almost the most cost?
ly. The difficulty, be it incidentally re?
marked, lies not in expressing the oil
from the porpoise, but in catching thei
porpoise itself. These cetaceans, like the
fish they prey on, are most uncertain in
their movements, at one time playing
by the week in our very harbors, at oth?
ers staying a whole month far from the
coast An economic and reliable method
of obtaining a regular supply of por?
poises from our seas would be worth a
fortune.
At present their capture is no more
than accidental. Porpoises are known to
venture into salmon estuaries during
spring flood tides, returning to salt wa?
ter with the ebb, and, as an improve?
ment on the present casual supply sys?
tem, strong rope nets might be cast at
the mouths of these estuaries to inter?
cept the invaders as they leave. Prob?
ably, however, the ultimate solution
will be found in the rifle and some par?
ticular cartridge, preferably fronted with
soft, hollow lead to flatten in the crea?
ture's ribs. It may be that even with a
fatal bullet the difficulty is not ended,
for it has not yet been shown whether,
when fatally hit, the porpoise sinks or
floats.-London Spectator.
Webster Cowed Them.
William Wetmore Story, the sculptor
and poet, was one of the few men who
presumed to call Lowell "Jim" to the
end, and Miss Mary E. Phillips, in her
"Reminiscences of William Wetmore
Story," tells, in Story's own words to
her, the following tale of the two young
men: "James Lowell and I were very
fngry with Webster for staying in old
Tyler's cabinet, and as he was to speak
in Faneuil hall on the evening of the
30th of September, 1S42, we determined
to go in (from the Harvard Law school)
and hoot at him and show him that
he had incurred our displeasure. There
were 8,000 people there, and we felt
sure that they would hoot with us,
young as we were.
"But we reckoned without our host.
Mr. Webster, beautifully dressed, step
ped forward. His great eyes looked,
as I shall always think, straight at me.
I pulled off my hat; James pulled off
his. We both became as cold as ice and
as respectful as Indian coolies. I saw
James turn pale; he said I was livid.
And when the great creature began that
most beautiful exordium, our scorn
turned to deepest admiration, from an
abject contempt to belief and approba?
tion."
