John EPSON, six years, manslaughter; VIM.
Hutchinson, FIVE years, rape; and Bob.
Jones, three years, grand larceny. jamie
Jones, indicted for obtaining goods by false
pretenses, was acquitted. A package was
sent from Stanford 10 a woman named
Jennie Jones, and our jamie by falss rep
reservations obtained il. One Of the cases
againts one Of our druggists for selling
liquor was presented for the consideration
of the court, and with the consent Of the
prosecution a verdict Of mot guilty" was
rendered. The Commonwealth attorney
willSsk the Cour, Of Appeals to pass on
the matter though il is but fair 10 say, that
he (the Attorney has no confidence in the
legal merits Of his case. Ii does injustice
TO no one 10 say that these prosecutions are
men who rule Danville in various other
ways, have been striving 10 build up for
some time past. Wines and liquors belong
to Druggists stock and the druggist has
the same right, under the law, to vend them
a. the grocer has TO vend tea or coffee
The druggists do not propose TO make dram
shops Of their places Of business, but when
gentlemen step in and asks for bottle Of
liquor or wine, the druggist has the same
legal right to sell the liquor or wine, called
for, IA he has to sell the came customer a
bottle Of temperance bitlers or paregoric
Druggists in Danyille have sold liquors
since the first drug Store was opened, neal
ly a hundred years ago, and no one quest
ioned their legal right to do 30 until recent
ly. All the druggists in Danvilie are gem
tlemen of character and standing, and they
should in no way compromise with this in
reference with their legitimate business
They do not dictate 10 men Of other call
ings how they shall conduct thier business
within the bounds Of the law, and they
would be spiritless indeed should they sub
nit TO the proposed dictation as to their
affairs. One individual of advanced views
said to your correspondent in talking OF
this very matter. "If the law gives the
druggists the right TO sell liz uor, WE will
have the law changed"
