A VERDICT FOR McCRADY.
Conclusion of Notable Libel Suit-the
Amount Of Damages Decided by Lot.
T TSpecialto News Courier I


COLUMBIA, April 26.-Col Youmans
spoke about six hours in all, and it was
undoubtedly one of the best efforts of
his life.
The charge of Judge Kershaw con-
sumed half an hour in delivery.
At l.45 this afternoon the jury went
to their room, where they remained for
five hours. 1t did not, however, take
the jury five minutes to decide that
their verdict must be in favor of the
plaintiff. In the letter written to Gen.
McCrady by DR.. Robertson there We're
seven charges made, all of which, ac-
cording to the law, had to be sustained.
Upon the first ballot the vote was
unanimous that five of these charges
were without fc ndation and unwar-
ranted. AS to the other two charges
eleven men agreed they were false, and
one, the foreman, considered that they
had foundation. It is understood, how
ever, that the vote was subsequently
made unanimous, and it was decided
that all the charges We're groundless.
The next question which arose was the
amount Of damages. 1t was decided
that a vote should be taken and each
man should put down his figures. The
foreman led off with $50 as his valua-
ton of damages. There were others,
however, who considered that a mans
character was more valuable. The re-
suit Of this ballot was that seven jury
men voted for $4,000 damages, one
iurymen 5000, and the others smaller
amounts. At last all agreed to {.
promise, but the foreman would n /
consent to over $500. Some Of the
iurvmen swore that they would not 60
into the Court room with Il verdict for
less than $1,000. Finally, after much
arguing, it was decided to put four
tickets into hat, marked respectively
81, ,000 81 l,500, $1,000 and $500; that
one of these should be drawn out and
the damage fixed at the amount upon
that ticket. This was done and the
ticket bearing the numbers $500 was
drawn. The verdict Of the jury was
therefore that they found damages for
the plaintiff in the sum Of $500.
immediately upon the reading OF the
verdict Mr.. Lyles gave notice OF mo-
ton for new trial.

surprise to the defence. 1t has been
generally conceded that in this case the
defence had the advantage, inasmuch
as DR.. Robertson is resident of this
city and was probably known to many
of the Jurors, while Gen. McCrady was
from city one hundred and thirty
miles distant, and only one of his attor-
nevs was Columbia man. This case
has occupied ten days in hearing, was
probably the most complicated and the
heaviest civil case which has been
heard in this section for many years.
Both plantitfand defendant We're ably
represented. Mr.. Lyles, who conduct
ell both the direct and cross-eNamina-
ton for the defendant during the long
and tedious trial, displayed, besides
great ability, remarkable endurance,
and has received the liberal praise of
his opponents. He certainly left moth
ing undonc that could in any manner
benefit his cause, and the loss OF the
case cannot he attributed to want of
ability Or energy in the defendants
attorney. W. r.. u.

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE.

The most absorbing question in the
State at this time seems to be the Glenn
son bequest in connection with all Agri-
cultural College. We present this
week Oh the first page of this paper a
considerable amount Of information IN
regard to this bcquest. Mr.. Lee the SON
in-law of Mr.. Clemson will contest the
will for the Benefit Of his daughter, who
is the granddaughter Of Mr.. Clemson
and only surviving heir of the late John
E.. Calhoun. Size has plenty We are
told, and it docs seem strange to us that
she or her father should desire to
rhwart the execution of the long cher
rishcd wish Of Mr.. Clemson, and then
what better, more fitting or lasting
memorial could be erected to the me-
mory Of Mr.. Clemson, or how better
could the historic home Of John G. Cal
houn be kept in tact, than by the erec-
ton thereon of All Agricultural College
for the education of farmers. 1t would
be more lasting than bronze or marble.
Conflicting statements have been
made as to the value Of the estate but
the return of the appraisers puts the
share the State would receive under the
will at $4,000. WithI that amount
available we see no reason why a college
should not be established without any
additional taxation. But with an Ag-
ricultulal College We will not need all
Agricultural" Annex at Columbia; or
rather we can very easily remove the
Annex from Columbia and make it
part of the Clemson College.
We advocated the enlarging of the
South Carolina College and the adding
Of an agricultural department, and did
not favor the separate college scheme,
because We thought the cost would be
too great for an experiment Of the kind
at this time, but now that difficulty is
out of the way and we heartily favor
the cooperation b.; the State with the
Clemson trustees in the establishment
ofan Agricultural College.
We are or should be an agricultural
people and our tastes should be educat-
ed and cultivated in that direction.
And when this can be done without ad-
ditional cost nothing should be thrown
in the way to avert its accomplish
ment.

Attempted Assassination Ola Young Wo-
man.
.Spartunhurg Herald.

Last week Miss Mary Young. of Cam
pobello, was walking along the road not
two hundred yards froma house, uncon-
scious of danger, when she WAS struck
down by an assassin's bullet. The ball
entered her back near the spine and
passed almost through the body.
Who fired the bal! was not known.
The whole affair is wrapped III mystery.
She had no difficulty with any one, and
it is not known that she had all enemy
in the world.
About the time she was shot 4 boy Il
quarter of mile off fired alta hawk,
and for a time If was thought that his
bullet might have glanced and inflicted
the injury. But this could not have
occurred. The hall was too large for
the rifle, ANA was evidently 4 pistol
ball; the young lady was going toward
the place where the lad fired the rifle,
and she was struck in the back. 1t
seems to have been the malcvOlent deed
Of dastardly devil.
The Young lady still lives but is III Il
critical condition.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

You talk about 4 prosperous country
and the progress that is being made in
the South and all that. We believe the
South is deve.o ping, but there Is one
suggestion We desire to make. Can a
country or people become prosperous
and rich and clear of debt if it or they
spend more in other or foreign markets
than the amount of the production Of
that country or that people: Certainly
not. 1t is just like 4 man spending
more than his income. He may handle
plenty Of money for time and to all
appearances may be proSpering, but he
is getting deeper in debt. Now we have
not the information at hand and cannot
say whether or not that is the condition
Of our State or our section, but certainly
If we do not make more at home than
we spend abroad We will be accumulat-
;ny debts that will tell after L while.
No State can ever accumulate wealth
unless she can produce within her bor-
ders its representatives i'll surplus VAL
ueS.'
Ii we are IL bvvGniea prosperous State
We must produce at home more III rdItc
than the rGiu" Of what we buy from
other States.

THE CLEMSON ESTATE.
Surprising Results of the Appraiselnent of
the Property.

Especial to the News and Courier.1
SENECA, April 27.-I have refrained
from writing about the Clemson be-
quest because there was nothing known
positively about the value Of the legacy,
and deemed it useless to write hearSay
when the papers already had an album
dance Of that kind Of matter. But now
I AM in position to write positively; fer
the estate has been listed and appraised
and | have seen the return OF the
appraisers.
The appraisers appointed by the
Judge Of Probate We're: NJ. w. Coleman,
J. W. Holeman, II. +. Alexander r..
II. Jaynes and J. W. Todd. They went
to Fort Hill on Wednesday, April %,
and appraised the real estate and perso-
nal property there, and yesterday they
met at Pendleton to value the invest
ments, the papers being kept there in
safe. The total amount of property
listed by the appraisers was SlO3,3 32l 81.
The ADVERTISEMENT will amount to per-
haps $4,000 more, inasnuch as Il large
proportion of the stocks, bonds. &c, are
worth great deal more than par, such
as stock in the national banks OF
Winnsboro and Chester for instance.
There being no certain information
at hand, the appraisers deferred the
completion of their work until they
could ascertain the true value of all the
investments. But enough information
was furnished to assure me that the list
Of investments showed me were worth
all of $4,000 more than par. Of all the
investments there Is less than $3.50 that
is not gilt edge. And it must be remenl-
bered that the books, maps, oil pain
tings, portraits, &c, were not valued at
all, for the simple eason that any at
tempt at valuation would be very much
like guessing at the number of beans in
a bottle.
Not having taken these items accur-
ately | can't give the exact figures on
each item, but in round numbers they
are as follows:
Bonds. ,2OO
StOckS..
Notes, mortgages, &c..................24,l ~
Other personally and cash sh........".4, ,S29
Fort Hill place, Sl4 acres.........~."l5, COO
Other realty. y......................... O,OOO
Now these are the items Of the estate
furnished to the appraisers by the exc
cutor and by them listed against him.
Having kept his business in the hands
of discreet men, such of Mr.. Gorrdin,
of Charleston, Col. Rion and Mr. Simp-
son, outsiders had no idea Of Mr.. Glenn
sons wealth. in fact, am convinced
that his own relatives were entirely in
the dark as to the value of his property.
am informed that Mr.. Lee has en-
ployed Mcssrs Child 4 Cary as his
attorneys, and proposes to open the
fight, and if necessary carry the case to
the Cour( of last resort. On the other
hand, Col. Simpson, the executor, says
he is anxious for the contest, us he has
no doubt about the result being favora-
bic to the State, and then there vii be
no question about it.
