T. ID. Mathews for legal services and expenses
In the case OF Griffin against VIM H. Gray,
begun away back In 1878. Z. D. Mathews and
W. A. Matteson appeared for the plaintiff and
Josiah Perry for Uncle David. There was
good deal OF interest manifested in the court
room in watching Uncle David and hearing the
evidence as the case was unfolded on both
sides: but the trial was not concluded when
court adjourned for the day

attendance thirty-fve ministers and seven
ty lay delegates. Our statistics shows GS Or

We desire mildly to remark that
che Legislature just closed did little
credit to South Carolina. At the be-
ginning, both houses, the lower house
especially, consisted largely of gas
bags whose aim seemed to be to let
of campaign eloquence. Public bus
iness was neglected till too late, and
then everything was lushed through
in an almost disgracefully undignihed
manner. There were several young
lawyers there who ought to have been
in their proper place, before some trial
Justices court. Why are the people
so foolish to send such delegates? No
allusion to Clarendon's delegates.
They were each quiet, sensible, hard
working members who did their duty.

The Legislature has passed the
Clemson College bill, but Governor
Richardson declines for the present
to sign 1t, and consequently it cannot
for the present become a law. The
bill was passed at the close of the
session, and by constitutional provis-
ion he can, il he wishes, defer sign
ing or vetoing it, until the Legisla-
sure meets again. He says he viii
take advantage of this provision. Gov
ernor Richardson IS opposed to ac-
cepsing the bequest just as it stands.
