All of tin* attorneys who wen

the .luilge and agree that he is j
profound lawyer, ami a fair, fear

We are pleased that Judge I'ritch
ard in his decision in the .1. (?

Howell ease came tip to the measur
of judicial integrity given to him it
oar editorial last week when we as
serted tliat he would not jeopard i/j
his reputation as a judge hy deeid

"iN MAYOR S COURT."
We cheerfully give space to ,
statement in explanation and eor
rei tion < f any discrepancy of at
article which appeared in last week'
Tnri> with regard to the Mayor';
Court. The editor is not one of tin
party "concerned'" in the "misun
derstHiding'' alluded to in the state
ment signed hy Mr. V. K. hel'as
and Mayor MeNally, therefore i
not included in the compromise
The editor i~ alone resporrsihle fo
tlie article alluded to appearing it
Tiik Timks last week, lait is not re
sponsible for tin- facts therein stated
hid he thought that the facts wen
not absolutely correct it would no
have been published. As to tlx
Hen Jeter matter, the mayor in
forms us that this is the only easi
in which he has ever taken a verba
bond, and now that we know tlx
gentleman who stood for Jeter, w<
regard his word as good as his hon<
and think the mayor sale in taking
it, lint we think it a little injudicious
\\ e never desire or purpose to d<
anyone an injustice; hut we fell
that those of whom we wrote wen
public servants, and if guilty, tin
public should know it.
The .Mayor's court is an inferior
court of limited jurisdiction
and not a court record and con lined
t i the trial of offences in violation
of published ordinances, and in
every case of conviction and sentence,
the Mayor should write out a
regular commitment directed to
the shcrilf, when the county jail is
used for a place of imprisonment.
Thh commitment is tin- Sheriff's
voucher ami his authority* for placing
the prisoner in jail. The prisoner
is then in his custody until released
l?y the proper authorities.
A magistrate's court is also a court
of limited jurisdiction and not a
court of record and a commitment
should he furnished the sheriff in
every ease, otherwise the sheriff
might some day he prosecuted for
false imprisonment. Where a city
lias a station or lock-up in which to
place offenders, then a commitment
would not he necessary, for the reason
that the prisoner is in the ens*
tody of the city police or city
authorities;*

| ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
YOUMANS' OPINION. 1
I <
I
Assistant Attorney General You-. j
mans rendered an opinion a few ,
days ago which is likely to cause
considerable discussion. The l<aw '
and Order [/ ague at Prosperity de- j
sired information in regard to the
disposition of liquor shipped to j
, parties from without the State. I
(leu. Youiiiaib gives it as his opin-1
, ion that all liquor except dispell-1
sary liquor can he seized. And I
this, though, it may he for personal (
use. flubs have been in the habit i
, of shipping in all they wanted for
) a number of years. This decision
i applies to them as well as to individuals.
So now it is "Drink dis- !
peiisary liquor only." (ireenvillc!
( Mountaineer.
1 We trust that Gen. Voumans'
r opinion will be sustained, but it
strikes us as contrary to former de- J
- cisions of some of the courts, and

f hasty reading, that this point was

it is true tliut the State (if
South Carolina sets the soul of her
I approval upon the liquor traffic, for
beverage and any other purpose.
' and therefore is not in an advantngcous
position to say to others,
Sou must not sell intoxicating
liquors to our citizens,"' but outt
siders ought to he forced to come
e under any restrictions applied to
I, our own citizens. If a citizen is
not allowed to ship liquor from one
II part of the State to another and
" sell it. then a citizen of North Carolina
should not be allowed to ship
it in and sell it. If the sale is proI

The opinion of Assistant Attorney
Ceneral Younians cannot have

any decision of any court in South
Carolina on the point in issue in

1 Cemetery.
> Clcinson College, October 27.? '
i' lu the. history of the. old Stone
t Chureh, recently published by the
. (>ld Stone Church and Cemetery
Association, there is an interesting
paper by Mrs. Julia Miller-Brown
on "John Miller and his Descend 1
ants." This pioneer journalist of j
. the up-country, who established and ,
, published the tirst newspaper in !
. this section, "The Pendleton Mes- |
sender," was an interesting charae'
ter, and the sketch hy his deseend.
ant is given helow for the benefit
, of the readers of The Sunday News:
l Three John Millers are buried at
the < >Ul Stone Church; father, son
and grandson. The first John Mil
ler was horn in London, England,
about 17 - ?0; he was one of the
fifteen parties who owned and published
the London Evening Post
and the Advertiser at the time that
' the fatuous "Junius Letters'* were
' published in those papers. lie,
i with two other partners, Henry
Sampson Wood fall and Mr. Almon,
were tried for libel before the General
Assizes in London in 177for
1 publishing these letters. History
says that the largest crowd ever
seen assembled in the house and in
the streets of Loudon during the
trial and evinced the greatest enthusiasm
when they were found not
guilty. These three men, Henry
r?ainpson wooaiail, Air. Ainioii Mid
'Joint Miller, no doubt knew who
was the author of the .Junius Letters,
hut the secret died with them.
Many believed that John Miller
himself was the author, as his handwriting
and that of the Junius Letters
were very much alike. John
Miller's penmanship is very neat
and peculiar, as is show by the
ledger kept by hint of the London
Evening I'ost from 17tU> to 177-i, j
which ledger is well preserved and i
is in the possession of his descend- '
ants in this vicinity.

landing at Philadelphia. From
there lie came with bin family to
I Charleston, S. C., in 1873, and began
the publication of the South
Carolina Gazette and General Advertiser,
one of the first papers ever
published in the State. After the
treaty with the Indians in this part
of the country, he was given a grant
of land of 640 acres by Governor
Benjamin Pendleton and including
tjbe site on which the Gld Stone
t hurch now stands, lie or his son,
Crosby Miller, deeded the site to
the trustees of Hopewell church.
After getting this grant of land, he
and his family moved from Charleston
to Pendleton in 1785; this was
then known as Pendleton district,
lie then commenced the publication
of the Pendleton Weekly Messenger
and continued to own and
publish it until his death in 1809.
It was the first paper published in
upper Carolina.
After his death his son, the
second John Miller, took possession
of the paper and published it until
his death in 1822. The second
John Miller was born in the city of
London in 1770, and came with hit
father to Charleston in 17811. lb
married Jane Gray in 1791; te
them were horn twelve children,
many of whom arc buried hosido
himself and his wife in the < >ld
Stone church yard,
j The third John Miller was oia
of these twelve children, lie was
born in Pendleton in 1794. lb
was for thirty years a printer in the
Pendleton Messenger office, and was
known generally as Printer John
Miller. In 1813 he married Lydiu
Ann Perdreau, an adopted daughtei
<?r Col. Samuel Warren, who was a
hravo soldier in the Revolutionary
war and a man of wealth and culture.
