a MISTAKEN IDEA.

There has been considerable trouble of late
in getting up juries to serve on cases in Trial
Justices Courts, owing to mistaken idea on
the part of those gentlemen who have hereto
fore served on these juries, thinking that the
law in relation to the subject laid down in the
Code of Procedure which only refers to Jurors
drawn by the Jury Commissioner, referred to
Trial Justices juries also but such is not the
case, for the Code expressly states that persons
shall be liable to be drawn on the Circuit Court
jury only once year, not referring to Trial
Justices juries, they not being drawn by the
Jury Commissioner, but by Constable in an
entirely different way. Satisfactory explana-
tions of the subject may be had by perusal of
that Chapter in the Code on the qualification of

STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.

Despite the torrents of rain which came pour
ing down on Saturday morning last, many of
our citizens interested in manufactures repaired
to High Shoals to attend the meeting Of stock
holders. Although great many who were in
terested could not be present On account of the
bad weather, yet sufficient were present for the
transaction of business. The meeting elected
the following temporary officers:
RresidenNJohn B. Moore
Ca:sc.ors-W.A A. McFall, Jesse French, D.
Brown, J. II. Reid, c. s. Mattison, r. Cink-
scales, w. B. Watson, Lewis Clinkscales, 8.
Bleckley, Moses Dean, VIM. McGukin and
J. w. Norris.
This looks like business, and we trust that
ere long business viii be commenced in ear
nest, for delays ere always considered danger
GUS.
We notice that the annual meeting of stock
holders of the Graniteville Factory was held
last week, and from the reports presented by
the different officers, the Factory is in most
fourishing condition, despite the late great
financial panic. Not bale Of manufactured
goods was sacrificed, and the average profits
stood thus: Profits from sales. of goods, $685.
1884; total profits $ls6,577,s5 from sales. To-
tai profits 1924 62451. Expenditures, ,SlO1 0O7 .52
Balance, $52a,el6.ss. This company operates
23,eOO spindles, and employs $50 hands. Twen-
ty-one shares of stock were sold for $173 per
share. This shows that we have at least one
factory South that can fairly compete with any
of the far-famed factories Of Lowell, Mass.
Now, with the necessary display of energy,
cannot the High Shoals Factory be soon made
a second Graniteville, enhancing the material
interests and prosperity of the up-country, and
enriching all interestedY 5..;. 8 g.: ,.-

DEATH.

1t is with a feeling of sadness that we record
the death of an estimable lady, Mrs. F. E. Har-
rison. wife of Col. F. E. Harrison, which took
place at her residence Andersonville, on Thurs
day last, 23rd inst. Her illness was of short
duration, she surviving only about two days
from the time she was first taken Ill. Ihe de-
ceased lady was daughter of the Hon. Thos.
c. Perrin, of Abbeville, and was highly re-
spected and much beloved by all who knew
her. She leaves behind to mourn her loss a
kind husband and loving children. Our sym
pathies are with the bereaved family.

CULTIVATION OF RICE.

Although the majority of persons heretofore
engaged in the cultivation Of rice have aban-
doned the business, chiefly on account OF Its
deleterious effects upon the health of the COM
munity, we regret to learn that there is an
intention of planting rice again in the Rocky
River bottoms, noar this town. We trust the
gentlemen engaged in the projected enterprise
will hesitate before subjecting the neighbor-
hood to the probable effects of rice culture. IL
has certainly been demonstrated that the nee
essary irrigation for the cultivation OF rlce pro-
duces or intensiies malarious influences, and
the sad record of last summer is enough to
excuse any anxiety in the public mind at this

= Suit against the Air Line Railroad.

20 In the United States Circuit Court, at
Charleston, the case of the Assignees of the
Blue Ridge Railroad against the Atlanta and
Richmond Air Line Railroad occupied the
attention, of the court for two days last week,
andoresulted in q verdict for the plaintiffs in
the sum,of s., $50, This was an action for tres
pass, quars Icssausuns frsqit. The Blue Ridge
Railroad Company complained that the Air
Lime Railroad Company has 'encroached upon
ta,eirsiighs Of way for nearly two miles in Their
aspIproosach Is Seneca city, and had crossed the
Blue Ridge Railroad at such . sharpe angle as
prevented the eomplainants from obtaining
proper space for depot grounds and side tracks.
ct one point the embankment Of the Air Line
Road is so close to the other track as to be
deemed, dangerous and inconsenient. The
fight of property and damage was denied by
ths Air Line Railroad. The verdict, however,
settles the right of property as belonging to
the Blue Ridge Road, and as rejecting the
actual damages up to the time of the trial
Unlessa compromise is effected, it would ap-
pear, that the Air Line Road will be subjected
so,future litigation and mulcted in damages
ffoTaat tine to time, or be compelled to remove
their track from its close proximity to the Blue
Ridge tack, and find a new crossing. Where
IS the lsgaI authority for the Air Line Railroad
to- cross the Blue Ridge Railroad at er- near
Seneca City, or indeed at any point north Of
Apderson9 Certainly, the original and amen
ded charters never contemplsaltted such thing
and resnlt of this suit shows that perDis,
sion has never been granted by the authorities
of the Blue Ridge Railroad.

SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE FEDERAL CAPT.
TAL.-The annexed dispatch gives cheering
aspect to the efforts made by the taxpayers
delegation for an Investigation into the alleged
misrule and corruption in South Carolina. 1t
may be that Congress will not take any posi-
tive action in the premises, but the impressions
created already will help to mould public opin-
ion against the thieves and plunderers, which
will steadily operate in favor OF honest govern
ment, and indirectly afford relief to an op-
pressed people:
WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a.
The House sub-judiciary committee held a
brief consultation to-day on South Carolina
matters and postponed final action until next
Monday. The subject of the taxpayers memo
rial exctes the grave consideration of the sub
committee, who will report in conformity with
the magnitude of the interests deemed to be
involved. The influence wrought by the argu-
ments of the taxpayers is felt in government
circles outside of the judiciary committee, and
is daily growing more potential as is evidenced
by the gravity with which the subject is being
considered. 1t is noticeable that the disposi-
ton to sift the complaints of the memorialists
and the answers of the State officials very close
ly accumulates force every time the subject
comes up for consideration, though the solution
remains involved in apparently impeenetra6ole
obscurity. The honest sympathy, and, so far
as possible, the cooperation of all right-think-
ing people in authority here, seems to be going
out towards the oppressed victims of misrule,
not only in South Carolina, but in other Sec
tions of the South.

Inc lOTCy-lOuE ulllOuS Lave cfeT UeeH re-
garded as reserve, to be used only in case of
occasions, and must occur whenever receipts
suddenly fall below expenditures and such
reserve is necessary, because the fractional cur
rency, amounting to fifty millions, is redeema-
BILE In legal l-tenders. 1t may be said that such
return of factonal currency for redemption
is impossible, but steps may be taken for re-
turn to specie basis, and it will be found that
silver will take the place of fractional currency
as rapidly as it can be supplied when the pre-
MUM in gold reaches a sufficiently low point.
With the amount Of United States notes to be
issued, permanently fixed within proper limits,
and the treasury so strengthened as to be able
to redeem them in coin on demand, it will then
be safe to inaugurate system Ot free banking,
with such provisions as to make compulsory
redemption of the circulating notes of the
banks in coin or in United States notes, them
selves redeemable and made equivalent to coin.
As measure preparatory to free banking or
for placing the government in condition to
redeem its notes in coin at the earliest practi-
cable moment, the revenue of the country
should be increased so as to pay current expen-
ses, provide for the sinking fund required by
law, and also surplus to be retained in the
treasury in gold. l am not believer in any
artificial method of making paper money equal
to coin when the coin is not owned or held
ready to redeem the promises to pay for paper
money is nothing more than promises to pay.
It is valuable exactly in proportion to the
amount of coin that it can be converted into
While coin is not used as circulating medi-
um, or the currency of the country is not con-
vertible into it at par, it becomes an article of
commerce as much as any other product, and
the surplus will seek foreign market as will
any other surplus. The balance of trade has
nothing to do with the question. Duties on
imports being required in coin creates limited
demand for gold About enough to satisfy
that demand remains in the country. To in
crease the supply I see NO way open but by
the government boarding through the means
above given, and possibly by requiring the
national banks to aid. 1t is claimed by the
advocates of the measure herewith returned, !
that there is an unequal distribution of the
banking capital of the country: was dis
posed to give great weight to this view of the
question at first, but, on reflection, it vii! be
remembered, that there still remains 100000
of authorized bank notes in circulation assigned
