THE EDGEFIED LYECHERS.

In the Edgefeld Court of Sessions, last
week, the thirty-one alleged lynchers of O..
r. Culbreath were arraigned, when, on rep
resentations of counsel for the accused it
became manifest to the presiding Judge
(Hudson) that the interest of all parties
would be best subserved by ordering con-
tinuance, which he did, admitting each of
the prisoners to bail in bond of $4,000,
which was promptly furnished, and the
prisoners were released on Thursday night.
Of the turn which this celebrated case has
taken, Mr.. Orchard, of the Columbia Reg
ister staff, who was an eyewitness of the
proceedings, writes to his paper:
The wholesale release of the reputed
lynchers was the occasion for general rejoic-
ing in the village, and the event was cele-
brated in the genuine Edgefeld style, only
the killing feature was asomitted. Unlimited
quantities of fiery whisky was drunk and
the revelries were kept up till daybreak.
Strange to say, no casualties happened.
Some of the best and wisest citizens of
the country deprecate the turn the case has
taken, while nine-tenths of the people re-
joice that it has come to close in this way.
A few hot-headed and inconsiderate per-
bail; but this is all wrong, for he is un-
questionably one Of the ablest, most con-
scientious and careful judges in South Caro-
lima. My opinion is, Notwithstanding the
fact that the prosecuting attorneys profess
a determination to press the trial to a con-
clusion and ultimately secure conviction,
that the case will never be heard of again.
Judge Hudson had most potential rea-
sons for granting a continuance, and he was
in right bound to allow bail. If he had re-
fused bail the prisoners would have taken
leg bail, which is not surprising, consider
ing how lax was the surveillance of the jail
or and bailitfs. Well. the case is ended,
and it is not my province to comment fur
ther upon it.

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.

The National Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, in session last week in Boston,
adopted resolutions recommending that
officers and members of subordinate oranges
make their instruction and principles a
matter of special and careful study; that
above all party considerations stands the
American government, and pledging the
order to defend law and order everywhere,
deploring the attacks on the private char
acter Of candidates for official position ;
recommending biennial State elections !;
opposing the creation of all unjust monopo-
lies by force of law; recognizing the equali-
ty of the two sexes and hailing with de-
light any advancement of the legal status
of woman; urging farmers to. united and
determined efforts in protecting their in
terests through the ballot, and favoring the
promotion of the office of Commissioner of
Agriculture to Cabinet position.

SHE SwoRE.-The efficacy of the cold
formalities of the law as against religious
sentiment had curious exemplifcation in
an Illinois court the other day. At Mt.
Carroll, in the trial of Keech and Millard
for conspiracy, Miss Hattie Lines, the as
sistant postmaster at Lanark, a witness for
the prosecution, refusing to take the oath or
affirm, having consciensious scruples on ac-
count of being in what is termed a state Of
''sanctifcation," was committed to the
county Jail, to remain till such time as
she would comply with the orders of the
court Judge Brown explained the nature
of the requirements of the law to Miss
Lines, and told her that if she never did
anything worse than to say she would tell
the truth she would be in no danger of mis-
sing heaven. The young lady took the
matter quite cool and seemed determined
to defy the court; but after a short sojourn
in the dungeon cell she compromised the
matter by taking the usual statutory affirm
alton, less the pains and penalties Of per-
Jury.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, November 23.-John Lee, COL
ored, charged with stealing bananas from
Mr.. A. G.. Fischel, was brought before Trial
Justice Leckie on last Tuesday and tried.
The trial resulted in the conviction of the
accused. He was sent to Jail for fifteen
days. He is a young boy, about II years
of age. Instead of sending criminals of
this age to the penitentiary or county jails
where they are hardened, would it not be
we'll for the State to establish reformatory
institutions with the view Of restoring, if
possible, such characters to right and hon
est ways? Institutions Of this character
have been been attended with beneficial
effects in other States, and would doubtless
do good in this State.
Mrs. G. l.. Morgan, representative Of the
Franklin Square Publishing Co., Louis
Vile, KY, has succeeded in securing a suf-
ficient number of names for the establish
ment or a circulating library at this place.
The list of books will be made out and Or
dered without delay. The books will be a
source of great Improvement and pleas
ure to the members of the Association. 1t
is hoped that the library will be the occa-
sion of developing taste for reading
among that portion Of our community who,
at present, have no fondness for books.
Among the articles on exhibition at the
late Chester Fair was "Clawson's Hair Re-
storer." It's claimed for this preparation to
have the efficacy of not only cleansing hair,
but restoring hair to the bald pate. 1t is
said to have caused hair to grow on some
bald heads at this place. This is written
for the benefit Of the members of the bald
headed fraternity.
A large amount of land in this county
will be sold on the 1st Monday Of Decem-
ber next. The following tracts will be sold:

and proprietor of the Cotton Plant, died at his
residence in Marion on Friday last, after pro-

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

The statement of the total earnings of the
railroads in South Carolina in September, 1885.
as compared with the corresponding month OF
the previous year, shows that the revival OF the
transportation business continues. Theshowing,
as published in the Ne,cs and Courier, is capital
one Of seventeen roads, only five show de-
crease, and in three Of these-the Laurens, the
Cheraw and Darlington, and the Cheraw and
Salisbury roads-the reduction in earnings is
apparently solely due to the recent construction
of competing lines. The average net increase
for all the lines is 1916 per cent.
THE following is the per centage of decrease: :
Asheville and Spartanburg, 7.s9; Central ofSouth
Carolina, 1888 Cheraw and Darlington, 5.s2 !;
