Edgefeld wants her Courts OF Justice,
and will be deeply sinned against if. they
are not holden Mt the appointed Tunes.
! Persons lie in, our JUL who have lain
there over SIX months. Sinners and suf.
ferers are, alike denied justice. And
meanwhile the State feeds and pampers
many noisome criminal. a
We call upon the Governor to do his
plain and unmistakable duty in this
matter.
P. s.-Slnce the above was putin type,
we have been informed by letter from,
Senator Cain, under date of the Oath,
that "the Bill providing for Drawing the
Jury for Edgefield, spartanburg and
Lexington has passed both Houses Of
the General Assembly, and Is now ready
for ratification" Gnodi '1''-'
