The following appeals from Trial Justices

The following appeals from Trial Justices
were heard:
The State vs Americus Frazier, which was
an appeal from Trial Justice In case prose
outed under tho stock law. The defendant had
rendered to the land owner what he considered
the damage was, and on its being refused, he
took the stock foroibly. He wes found guilty
and tho Trial Justice imposed fne Of So.
From this the defendant appealed. His Honor
held that defendants appeal presented only the
legal question: whether he had q right to estimate
and tender tho amount of damages ho believed
tho party had sustained, and on its being re-
fused, to take his stock. His Honor held the
low on this point TO bo against the defendant
and the appeal was dismissed and the case re-
manded to Trial Justice Shelor to enforce the
sentence.
The State vs.. Dave Jordan, appeal from Trial
Justice on conviction for failing to work the
road. The appeal was dismissed and the fine of

Commencement Incidents.

A correspondent Of tho Baptist Courier,
referring to commencement at Wake Forest
College, says:
j. II. Graves, the redoubtable Baptist polomiS
Of tho Southwest lie disappointed public
expectation in two partioulars-n the arst
place, his sermon to the graduating class did
not contain single seosaran sontimens, aud
in tho second plaoe, 1t was not two hours
and half long. rs arc most Of his disoourses
and as was the bacoaaureate sermon he
gave us at the same college twenty-six years
ago. Tho theme Of his sermon was Moral
Courage, as illustrated in the throo Hebrew
children in tho fiery furnace. am not
very cordial admirer Of Dr.. Graves, but am
bound to say that this Discourse was admir-
able in conception, in dction and in deliy-
cry"
The Board Of Trustees of Wofford College.
has been looking carefully into the interests
and fortunes Of the college. which was found
to be closing the most prosperous session Of
its history. A hundred and forty students
have been martriculated during the college
year, and the averngo Of work and improve.
ment Of the young men has bcen quite good
indeed The President Of the college re.
ported the names Of twelve students who
had not been absent from single college
duty during the year. We arc sorry that
wc have not the names at hand. They ought
to be published to the whole world as q roll Of
honor. Work, regular, systematic constant
work is what takos the prizes and wears tho
honors Of life and tho man that finds this out
early in his career is worthy to be congratu.
lated aud distinctly recognized.
Some young men will not be denied an
education, ms is shown by tho following also
from Wofford College:
"Betwcen twenty and thirty young mon
cIubbed together during the last session, and
by Mess Hall arrangement in the college
building. procured board at tho rate Of 81 o
month apiece, or at q little less figure even
than this. The board approved this arrange.
ment and provided for lis continuance. A
young man, hungering and thirs,ing otter
an education. need not, and must not, and il
seems to US, will not, turn aside from its at.
tainment with all the opportunities and
advantages afforded him."

Court Proceedings.

Court for 0conee county convened at Walhalla
on Monday, the 2sth instant, his honor Judge
PRESLEY presiding. Mr. Solicitor Orr was pro-
sent and handed out the following bills of in
dictment:
The State vs.. r. b. Aldridgc charged with
carrying concealed Weapons
The State vs. Rederiok T. Casey, charged
with aggravated assault and battery
The State vs.. John Tins, charged with ag.
gravated assault and battery.
Alter the witnesses iu tha above indictments
were sworn, his honor on inquiring was in
formed by the foreman Of the grand jury that
they had examined, under tho previous order
Of the court, BY committee, a.! the public offices
except one. lie instructed them to examine
that Office to their satisfaction and under tho
same order, and that if anything should arise
which in their judgment required further or
re.examination Of any of the offices, they
should mako il.
AS they had been heretofore fully instructed
in their dates, he deemed it unnecessary to
repeat the instructions. especially as at this
busy season tho farmers should not be kept
public service required.
His honor then instructed them briefly as TO
The law in regard to carrying concealed weapons
| and stated that an erroneous impression pre-
vailed as to the law. 1t is believed by somo
that carrying pistol or other weapon, with tho
handle exposed, so that it con be seen under
certain circumstances, is not violation Of tho
low. This is not the case. The weapon must
be carried openly SO as to be subject to ordinary
observation or 80 that any one con see il at all
| times easily. Any other carrying Of concealed
weapons is violation Of tho law
Afterwards the following additional bills
were handed out:
The State vs.. Belle Hutchins, charged with
grand larceny and stealing from the person.
