THE LADY GRANGERS on THE

feature about the Grange movement
it utilizes woman's capabilities for use

The Tax Payers Convention.

The Convention Of tax payers to
meet in Columbia on the 18th inst.
has our unqualified support. We be-
licve that much real and lasting gocd
to the State can be accomplished by it,
if its members seek to make the meet
ing harmonious, and if its proceed
ings are conducted in . dispassioned
manner, with prudence and determi-
nation. Every delegate who attends
it should forget self and ever keep in
mind the object OF the Convention,
which is, to discuss intelligently the
grievances of South Carolina. and to
seek honest means of redress. To
make long and windy speeches and
give vent to the angry passions caused
b. the dishonesty Of our State govern
ment will do no good, but rather harm.
Abuse never has corrected an evil,
and the trouble is, when INDUCED in,
nothing else is done. The objects of
the Convention should not be many.
A few important aims we'll designed
and executed are far better than a
score Of plans i'll considered and in
harmoniously acted upon. Let every
man who takes seat in that Couveu-
tion have his mind made up in these
four things; the preparation Of a
manly and digni6ed address to Con.
gress on the subject of our grievances;
the immediate and permanent organi-
cation of ! society in every county
| for the encouragement and promotion
of immigration; recognizing certain
facts to devise a plan for the uniting
of all honest men of whatever party
or color against dishonesty,ln in the COM
ing State election; and at once to or
ganize for vigorous prosecution IN
the courts against mal-administration
in office. This is enough, probably
more than will be accomplished: but If
done the Convention may adjourn
satisfied that it has not met in vain.
We believe that something tangible
will be accomplished. The press all
over the State see the importance of
the proposed meeting and hail it as an
omen of good in the future. Scarce
ly any oppose it, and few doubt its
practicability, Sewberry will be ably
represented On that occasion. An
ticipatiug the action Of the Executive
Committee, provision was some time
ago made for an enlarged delegation.

Incompetent Jurors.

Trial by jury has become farce in
Newberry: if We take as fair sample
the jurymen of the last Court Of Cen
eral Sessions, composed almost exclu-
sively Of colored men. 1t was truly a
lamentable spectacle to witness the
utter un6tuess Of the great majority
of these men VINO were chosen to try
their .couutrymea according to the
law and evidence. Some Of the vcr.
diets rendered were in direct oppoS!-
ton to the overwhelming evidence Of
the guilt of the prisoners, as for iu-
stance, in the case of the State VS..
Adam King, and ia plain contradic-
tion Of tie law as given from the
Bench. We charge the most Of these
Jurors, not simply with iuca2acity by
reason Of ignorance, but with iucapac-
ity by want Of the proper moral quallf-
cations. The law requires Jurors to
be chosen who are ''persous Of good
moral character, Of sound Judgment,
and free from all legal exceptions"
and it vas most shamefully violated
at the last court. Upon whom rests
the responsibility? Of course those
jurymen could not help being chosen.
Why, the responsibility rests simply
and heavily upon the Jury Commits
sioners, who seemed On this occasion
to have utterly ignored the fact that
intelligent and upright jurymen are
necessary to the liberty of the people.
We have no objection to the selection
of negroes as jurors because Of their
color they have the right, if qusli-
fed, and they should be allowed to ex-
ercise it. But We do most seriously
object to any one as juror, whether
he be white or black, who is not Of
"good moral character, of sound judg-
ment and free from all legal excep-
tions." This is the law. and the Off
GERS who fail to execute it should be
held to q strict account.
Trial by jury is the dearest right Of
the citizen, the palladium of our lib
critics, what nfamy then must attach
to them who bring it into contempt!

The report Of the Committee Of three ap-
pointed at the January meeting being called
for, Mr.. VIM. /. Tarrant, on the part of the

OF Equalization was alone responsible for
the enormous assessment in this County, as
the State Board Of Equ al;Zation had not
raised the estimate OF the County Board thai
they had been unable accurately 10 ascertain
i'll what proportion tue present assessment
exceeded that last year; that in conference
had with J. D. Boston, one OF the repEesen-
tativeS from this County in the Legislature,
he had pledged himself to use every effort 10
procure such action on the part Of the Legis-

tine in a cup, dip the finger in it. and
then l.old the hand near q hot FIRE till

for fifteen minutes, or until the pain
ceases. The next day, with a sharp
knife, pare off the thick skin, and you
will find something ike honey comb
filled with clear water; open the cells,
and the felon is gone. If the fclon
is too far advanced for the turpentine,

The taxpayers Of South Carolina ale

but we are not deprived Of reason YET.
Why not levy 4 tax Of 40 mills on the

payer-not double and treble the as
sessment. What does the Equalization
Eourd know as to the value of lands in
the different localities? Nothing but to
raise the amount equal to the de-
mands Of their pockets. The State Is
worse off to-day than when Sherman's
army crossed the Carolina line. The
people under this high handed robbery
of double assessments, will not be
able to meet the demands, consequently
they are not able to employ labor for
the ensuing year. Freedmen are dis
satisfied because they cannot get ad-
