~1>B. THOMTWELL'S LETTER.
;_
"The letter of Dr. J. H. Thornwell to
Got. Manning, on "Public Instruc
tion/*' and which was published some
" ' _ time ago a the News and Courier, bas,
by the liberality of some friends of edu
- cation, assisted by the City Council of
Charleston, been published io pamphlet
form, and CoL J. D. Blanding, of Su m -
;'.,ter, has a number of copies on hand
which he will bo glad to give to any
one desirous of reading,the same.
W* regret that we can not at this
?rne give a more extended notice of
this admirable letter, bat will do so at
an early day.
PABTI?Y BIGHT AKD PARTLY
WRONG.
-Oar correspondent "Ezra" feels
agrie red at some of the results of the
trn?s in the late court. We feel agriev
ed too, and believe that most of the
thinking people io the County look up
on the first week's work as a big farce,
the most serious part of which was the
hill of costs. Bat we think that Ezra
has gone further than necessary in his
censore. Io reference to the investiga
tioo of the illicit liquor trahie at Mayes
ville', we say that the gentleman who
did that work did it thoroughly, and,
laying aside all personal consideration,
Indicted the law-breaker ; bat the case
along with all the similar ones were
postponed by the court, and of coarse
'the County Commissioners could do no
~ inore.
These criticisms of "the powers that
ben are a healthy sigo. It shows that
the people are fearful that crime is not
punished as it should be, and that a lax
administration of justice will invite to
?t?l greater wrong-doing, but we should
careful that censure does not degen
jflb abase. We have profound
coofiaeRe^ in the power of the people
and while we have been deeply con
cerned at the cKf? towards lawlessness,
believe that a reaction has set in which
w?l compel the fountains of justice to
newness of life and vigor. ?
- The Free Trade Convention.
,We are glad to say the efforce aold
Convention in rnlnmHi fr?n* cr->?rrfliy |
\ e - ^? ?' ? t
'th-a-reasonable share of success. J
A. P. Butler was made chair
man and N. G. Gonzales Secretary.
Col. Dargan was called on to address
the meeting, and io doing so presented
letters from a number of Carolinians
' who, while necessarily absent were in
active sympathy with the movement.
He .made an earnest speech iu favor of
free trade pure and simple. Col. J.
rW~ R. Pope followed in a conservative
address opposing radical measures.
After remarks from a number of other
gentlemen, it was resolved,
**That, this meeting now organize
into a Free Trade Club for the purpose !
of disseminating correct doctrines of
taxation among the people of South
Carolina."
y Col. Dargan then moved that our
delegates to the Chicago Convention be
instructed to advocate such a coarse of
. tariff reform as shall pre ve gradaal,
moderate and justly considerate, bat
looking to constant and persistent re
daction of duties, antil first a revenue
basis be reached, and uhi ma tel abso
iote free trade be attained. This was j 1
opposed, bat after considerable debate !G
was adopted and the following gentle-1
men elected as delegates to the Chicago j
Convention : j r
Col. J. J. Dargan, Col. F. W. Daw- ! t
son, Col. J. W. R. Pope, Hon. H. A. L
Gaillard, Hon. W. L. Trenholm, Gen. jk
Edward McCrady, Jr. ? .
The elob adjourned to meet in Co- j 1
lamb?a 9th December next.
We do not think absolute free trade
practicable or even desirable, and there
fore consider the ultimate objects of the
club?absolute free trade?unattainable,
- bat we warmly advocate a tariff reform
which will change the present system
from one of protection to that of reve
nue. We can conceive of no better
way for meeting the expenses of the
government, eveo though it be a most
extravagant way ; but this protection
business is a fraud. If our industries
are so infantile as not yet to be able to
-standon their feet they should fall
Four meo are interested in low prices
where one prefers them high, and if the
greatest good to the greatest number be
the tree theory of political eeonomy
then do away with the insatiable mon
ster a Protective Tariff.
A correspondent of the Enterpris:
writing from Midway neighborhood
says:
By the by, t forgot to say that the
cow thieves haven't been arrested yet.
There is a warrant over here in the
hands of Dr. I. M. Woods, for their
arrest. I learned that he is empowered
with the authority to press men to as
sist him iu the arrest. He and others
were oat a few nights ago on that busi
ness, and it seems that he was pressing !
men in every direction ; at home, or
abroad, just wherever he could find
them. It was really aove!. I learned
tLat he arrested a gentleman that night
in the parlor of his sweetheart who had
rode ten miles to see h?r, aod wanted
to take him away anyhow before ho had
seen her. Now, Mr. Editor, is this
not cruel ? Please tell the Sheriff to
deputile some one over here that will be
more lenient and sympathizing with
?toe who may be 00 sueh missions.
TA&it home to yourself, Mr. Editor.
^SK^.:??:?',?.,. ? -, ?:: . .. .
Cao you imagine the embarrassment ?
It seems that I can realize the position,
and I will say candidly keep your head
level. Doctor, and don't be guilty of
such demeanor again, as it was certain
ly very unpleasant on the part of the
one whom you approached."
When we ioform our readers that the
correspondent is a young widower, who
is anxious to be a widower no longer,
they can understand why he sympa
thizes so sincerely with the young man
who was arrested in bis sweetheart's
house.

Gen. Moise's Speech.
Gen E. W. Moise, who assisted in the
prosecution of Ferguson at Abbeville
last week, made a most eloquent and
forcible address to the jury. In closing
he said :
If there is a blot upon the escutcheon
of South Carolina this day, it is that
lawlessness pervades the laud. If there
is a blemish on her fair fame, it is that
the laws of the land are not fearlessly
enforced by juries. We do not ask you
to find an innocent man guilty for auy
such reasons as these, but we do ask that
you. do that which your consciences de
mand. We ask yon to say on your
caths whether the prisoner is guilty,
of the charge, or not guilty and
blinding yourselves to alt? outside
considerations, we call upon you now
to write such a verdict in this case as
will make the law hereafter what it
should be a terror to all evil doers. It
is not vengeance that we seek. Tbe
State does not crave the blood of any of
her children. It is the example which
is needed. Unless you do your duty
here, next week may have its tale of
blood to record in your county. If you
turn this prisoner loose you give him a
carte blanche to slay whom he chooses.
Your verdict will have establishd a fact
that he is not responsible to the law.
Yet you will give him perfect freedom
to walk your streets, to carry deadly
weapons, to take any life or destory any
property without the fear of cons?
quences. Are you prepared to do this ?
If so, the future historian of your country
will write that liberty in your land was
sacrificed to license, and that freedom
was driven from her adopted home by
the uncurbed passions of your rising
generations.

I The Agricultural Association.
Stateb?rg, S. C, Oct. 29, 1885.
Mr. Editor : I see hy yoor last issue, the
Executive Committee of our County Agricul
tural Association have called a meeting of the
Association for the 3rd Saturday (which will
be the 21st day) in November next, with
quite an interesting programme for the occa
sion. It is hoped the farmers of the County
generally will attend and make the occasion
one of pleasure and profit. Farmers, on many
accouuts, should appreciate meetings of this
character. In the first place they should en
joy it in a social way, because tbey meet one
another so seldom. Secondly, they should
value it for the opportunities afforded to
take counsel together about their business,
which distance of residence from each other
and the nature of their work places beyond
their power, except on such occasions; third
ly, they have no conflict of interests to con
tend over at such meetings. They can meet
on common groun d ; because when farmer A.
makes a good crc;> it takes not a do?ar from
the pocket cf farmer B., but rather, by im
proving the cotcntry, gives B. that much bet
ter chance to nieke another dollar. So there
is no reason why such meetings should not
be hugely attended and as hugely enjoyed by
all the farmers. I would not be persuaded
that there is a. farmer in this Christian land
who would be so utterly callous to the in
junction to love bis neighbor as himself as to be
unwilling to give every other farmer tbe ben
efit of his th.tuf.bts and experience in plant
ing. It is the glory of agricultural pursuits
that they have a tendency to liberalize our
hearts, if not our minds.
Some farmers have said to the writer that
they have nor.. the face to take partin an agri
cultural mee ?ng while they are succeeding
so poorly in planting. Of all the reasons for
staying a way from the meetings this is cer
tainly tbe ijoorest. It would be an excellent
one for heiog a regular aud earnest member
of the Society, but a strange misconception it
is of the objects of such an association to en
tertahi such "a reason" for not taking a part
in th': meetings. The main end the Society
has rx view is to help us out of trouble. If
ever/body was prosperous?making a plenty
and to spare?there would be small need for
suc a an Association. But because we are not
we see tbe necessity for putting our heads to
ges her to help each other find our "way out
of the woods." And we must believe every
farmer who reflects upon the matter will see
it in ihis light and give us his presence on the
21 st nit., and an account of his successes and
ftiiluies, if called upon, to aid us in our work.
X. Y. Z.
More Criticisms on the Court.
Mr. Editor : You, as well as others, have
been saying a good deal about lynchera and;
regulators. Now it is my opinion, and I
think you will find it the opinion of nine
tenths of tbe people, that lynchers and regu
lators will continue to increase until the courts
are properly regulated.
Pray tell me what was done in the Conrt
the first week to pay the county for the great '
expense it incurred? And I would like to
know what benefit a man is. to the good peo
ple of the country, who will defend a man
for breaking our laws, but will not prosecute
him. We know what he is to the other class.
I hold and I think I have the endorsement of
all right-minded persons that any one who
attempts to convince a jury that a criminal is ,
innocent when he is convinced in his own
mied that he is guilty, is doing a direct inju
ry to his fellow-men ; and so far as he is able, (
upholding crime. You know a man who 1
has broken the law, will always pay more for
defense, than a good man will to prosecute
a Iaw-breaier." Theh^s^?xs^t^b-it that they -
are not to know whVther their client is guil
ty or innocent, and 1 admit that unless they ^
are fully convinced there can be no objection ^
to their pointing out uncertain points in the
law, or broken links in the evidence : but
t
they should not do any more and when they <
io tbey make themselves defenders of crime k
'i
I feel so utterly incapable of doing justice 1
to the subject that I will not attempt to touch
jn the investigation made by the Commis
sioners at May??ville, into tbe illicit whiskey !
;raffic, but simply say that one of them is said i
iO hare gone ronnd to see with his own eyes j
f it was as reported and made his iovestiga
iou a little too personal. Just so
hink the very men who set themselves up as
he ones for us to look to in trouble, saddling
Hayesvillc and the surrounding country with
vhiskey for tbe next 6 months. We all knew
he excuse that would be given but I have j
leverseena good man have a case in court \
tv bo wanted it put off. It is generally the
?ses that are favorable to crime that are pro?
enged. i
I am as much opposed to Lynch law as any
nan can be, but 1 do say that law-breakers
lave to be checked in some way and when
)ur courts become crime protectors we will
lave to resort to some other methods of keep
ng order. Yours respectfully,
Ezra.
That Bigamy Case.
Sumtkr, S. C, Nov. 2, 1885.
3!r. Editor: I see iu your issue of the 27lh
instant, a remarkable production headed "A
Criticism," over the signature of "Demos,"
insinuating upon, and criticising the action
of, the jury in the case of a white man tried at
the last term of the court in Sumter for big.
aruy and found not guilt.v. Demos, who I
suppose was not present at the trial, says,
"there are many persons residiug in that part
of the County wherein defendant lives with t
wile No. 2, * * who are all familiar with
the c.-<sc, and other persons there are who
were present at the trial and heard the
judge's charge to the jury," &c. The pub
licity given to the suit by Demos may mislead ,
others not familiar with the facts in tbe case,
as Demos was undoubtedly misled himself,
and I feel called upon to staie the facts as
brought outjon the stand. What a pity that
Demos and his familiar friends we;enoton
hand at the trial to testify. The high or low
social positions of the litigants would not '
have availed, a verdict would have been ren
dered in accordance with the creditability of j .
the evidence. The facts brought out on tbe | .
stand are as follows: Defendant was proven j
to have been twice married, which he himself j
admits, first, :n Sept., 1877, and f?cond, in j
April, 1883. Ilo was not confronted iu court ?
with wife No. 1, or with any evidence of her I i
whereabout?, or that she was then living, j
Une .State witness saw wife No. 1 three times
after marriage with defendant but could-not
telt where or when. The other two had never
seen wife No. 1 at all, but rumor reported her
at Lake City, better know n by some :?s Gra
ham s X it'iads. Defendant's wife No 1
eioped riip-c weeks after marriage with one
Cut ter to parti unknown, and he saw nor
heard nothing ot her up to January, 1 ?04, and
he then received a Inter froai Carter, post
marked from some point in North Carolina,
which was exhibited in court, stating that
wife No. I was dead ; that lie saw the last of
her. The o Hier* testified to visiting Lake
City frequently, looking around and enquir
ing for wife No. 1, bui no trace of her could
be found. The law presumes every ? in- (
noce:it till he is proven guib'y, and now. Mr. | -
Demos, this is the why and the how of ?he j
thing. The brilliant oratorical powers of ihe ?
defendant's defenders were not called into play !
at r.1! in this ca?e. Both sides submitted ^he j
case without argument, ?od if society jrroans j
and grums, and the father of wife No. 2 !
pockets bis grievances and goes home and ;
goes to work it is no fault of one of the
Juaous.
P. S I will add that a bench warrant was j
issued for wife No. 1, and every eJfort made
to iiud her without avail. J.

Fine Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, Silverware, &c.
We have not the space in this advertisement to enumerate
all the prices, or give in detail the varied styles. Below we
give some of the prices, and say that should you need anything
in our line we would be pleased to quote you styles and prices
more in detail. We can make it to your advantage to trade
with us. See our special offer :

? Columbia, S. G. $
* No claim for dlscouht will be recognized unless tbis Coupon is presented. ?
This offer is only made to the people of Sum ter and vicinity,
and for a limited time. It is liberal because our prices are as
low as the same goods can be bought for anywhere. There is
no chance for deception because our price mark is in plain
figures. Our reason for making this offer is, we desire to bring
to your attention the fact that you can buy your Jewelry, Silver,
etc., in Columbia as cheaply s anywhere else, and by our spe
cial offer hope to be able to induce you to give us a trial..
See the advantages of this offer. In the first place the prices
on the goods are in plain figures, so that there is no adding on
to take off in discount. On a purchase of $10 worth, you get a
discount of SI, getting $10 worth of goods for $9 ; on a $15
purchase the discount, is $1.50, which will pay your railroad
fare one way between Sumter and Columbia. The discount on
a $30 purchase pays your fare both ways; or a $50 purchase
pays your fare both ways and Hotel Expenses in Columbia.
Now, as you will doubtless need something in our line, say Jew
elry for wife, daughter or sweetheart, or Silver Ware, either
with or without handsome Plush or Morocco Cases for Wedding
Presents, would it not be to your advantage to buy it from us ?
We think so, and only ask that you give us#a trial.
We will send goods C. O. D. with privilege of examining
before paying the bill if 50 cents is enclosed with the order to
guarantee us express charges in case of no sale. If the article
sent was satisfactory, and bought, the 50 cents would be deduct
ed from the bill. It would be hardly fair to expect us to go to
the trouble of packing and shipping an article and also have to
pay express charges when no sale was effected. We will now
give you some of our prices, but should you want anything in
this line write to, or call on, us and state what you would like
to get and how much you wish to pay, and we can suit }<ou.
Remember, only one price on each article^ and that in plain figures.
