THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Promptly at 10 o'clock last Monday morning,
the summer term Of the Court of Common Pleas
and General Sessions for York county-hls Hon
or Judge Witherspoon presiding-was convened.
Solicitor Mcdonald was promptly at his desk
with an ominous bundle Of papers, which proved
TO he presentments, and when Sheriff Glenn gave
the word Crer Lewis proceeded with the time
honored slogan o Yes! Yes and called the
lists of Jurors, who filed into the court room as
their names were pronounced. The jurors filled
a small space in the court room, and with the
exception of the regular officials, few lawyers,
and three lonely looking colored men (who al
forwards proved to be jurors) the attendance DID
fair to be light for Sessions day, and 1t was re-
marked that for one day at least the colored ele-
ment was conspicuous by its absence. But no
sooner did Clerk Wallace commence calling the
grand jurors preparatory to their taking the boN,
than it was the signal for the colored citizens TO
assert their inalenable rights, and they poured
in, filling all the available space allotted to them,
the moving and surging mass recalling remark
once made by Judge Mackey on similar occa-
sion in the same court room, who said the scene
reminded him of the South Carolina State Ma
tional Guard making preparations for review.
The following grand jurors answered to their
names when called by the Clerk: r. T. higgins,
foreman; L.. N. Armstrong, w III. II. S"iiiPp0ii,
J. X. Davidson, James a. Gill, w. X. Hayes,
Andrew Jackson, colored; Joseph +. Love, L.
II. LESLEY, w. c. Latimer, I. &. Minter, }. &.
McGill, Felix Quinn, j. J. j. Robinson, l.. l..
Wood.
On proceeding to charge the grand jurors, his
Honor said that inasmuch as this was their second
term of SERVICE and as they had been previous
ly fully instructed as to their duties as grand
;uror, ha wOu1d content himself with only lln
pressing upon them the Importance of fearless
discharge of their duties. 1t was his duty TO
call the attention of the grand jury to certain

Prof: w. H. WITHEROW.

From his long and successful connection with
the Chester Graded School, and his relations to
the cause of education generally in this State,
DR.. Witherow, the accomplished Principal of.th
York County Teachers institute, now progress
ing in this place, is personally known by many
of our readers To liberal attainments and great
culture he adds great personal magnetism, and
has, therefore, succeeded as a teacher of youth.
He was mainly instrumental in organizing the
graded school system in the town of Chester, and
by generous donations from the Peabody educa-
tional fund has succeeded in placing it upon a
firm and substantial basis. Dr. Witherow has
been an Instructor in all our State normal in
stitutes save the first at Spartanburg in 1880, and
has never failed to please or instruct. He has
been pioneer in the movement of county in
stitutes, and has successfully conducted local
Institutes in different parts of Chester county.
The teachers of York county may congratulate
themselves on securing the aid of his proficiency
and valuable experience in conducting their
pioneer institute.

THE ARKANSAS CROPS.

MoNToNGo, Drew County, Arkansas, June
1--we have at this time as good pros
pect for crops in this State as | have ever
seen. Corn is good. Cotton was backward
in the first of the Spring, on account of the
lateness of the season, but it is beginning to
look we'll now, and gives promise of good
crop. Where a good stand was secured the
oat crop is as good as l have ever seen. we
sow but little wheat in this State, but the
crop sown last fall is good. l think our
State affords good country for the produc-
tion of everything that man could wish; tor
in addition to the promise of ofabundant grain
crops, we have fine fruits of every kind.

Bedloe's Island, New York, where the
Liberty Statue is being erected, has curl
Gus history, which makes it an appropriate
place for memorial to Liberty. Its owner
was Mr.. Isaac BedloW, and in 1910 the Gov
ernor of the State issued an instrument, de-
claring that for and in consideration of val
uable improvements made by Mr.. BedloW
on his island, it should in the future be
.known as Love Island, and should be a
privileged place where no arrest could be
made or warrant served, except by special
consent of the Governor. The people did
r not take kindly to the change of name; the
island continued to be known as BedloW's,
and this has been in recent time misspelled
Bedloe. In looking up the history of the
island, deeds were found to the most valu-
able part of New York, on both sides OF
broadway, which was sold to Isaac BedloW
about two hundred years ago for one dollar
an acre.
