Pturifoy, which we\ publirhed la&t week, was the cause of much comment in Chesterfield cminty. And it accomplished real goodfljPetit jurors who are the real representatives of the people, evidently listened to the able judge's words and believed what he said. Every case prosecuted by Solicitor Spears with -a single exception, the first caso tried, resulted in verdicts of guilty. On . Thursday when the whiskey cases came up Ave separate juries returned) verdicts of guilty. The Judge sentenced no less than four white men to the chain gang for terms of four to twelve months for making booze. Much favorable copnment was heard as to the intelligent interest the Judge took in youthful criminals. Two boys of Pageland Jiqd two more of Mt. Croghan who hhd pled guilty to house breaking and larcency were up before the Judge for sentence. Parents and friends begged for suspended sentences owing to the youth of the boys?about Average age of seventeen. The Judge reserved decision ^5Vid thought ove# the matter ?na neia private conference with the boys and their parentfe.t "Finally, he gave the boys chain S?Bg sentences, with all of the same suipcnded provided the boys hereafter regularly worked or attended school, were reg- J ular in church and Supday School attendance.

Ttfs is the ?4u?r-j test cotton crop in thirty sears and the worst conditon report fctynce the Civil War. Last year tilt Souffi. made thirteen muRon bales and now it is certain that one-half of that amount will. not be made this year. To date nearly three millon bales?nearly one-half of I the expected crop?has been ginned. ' In this section two-thirds of the crop has been gathered. Picking will be completed by the end of this month.
