Wh'le searching around in my old tr0u-

eaftlv! an old silver dollar which looked
as bi.'ckl>h and ANTON sted AS though il
had been dug from the RUNS of flcrcula-
neum on i'oinpelt. Ii reused my dander at
once, to think how badly I had been need
ing money, and this old dollar stored
away, snug and warm, in the crums of to-
bacco at the bottom of my pocket. Then

being burned out, lock, stock and barrel.

be extremely unpleasant. In the mean
time kept cogitating and ruminating aud

Amend the Jury Law.
From Charlotte Chronicle. I

There is a growing sentiment In this
country in favor of SO amending our laws
relating to jury trials that conviction
therefrOm may be had by IA certain ma iOr
ity rather than as now by unanimous
vote. 1t will not be long before this change
will be made We heartily favor it. 1t
too often happens that a mis-trial is the
result of a long, wearisome, expensive and
demoraiiziny court investigation on ac-
count Of some pig headed juror who sits
up his judgment against his eleven col
leagues. a large majority, say not less
than min ;, should be adequate to convic
ton or acquittal. As the law now stands
there is too much chance for the accused
and guilty to effect at least failure to
convict This may be done by one obsti-
nate Juror Such failures are exceedingly
bring the courts into disrepute and tempt
the people to take the law into their own
hands and resort to lynch law. They
cause a re opening Of cases which are too
communicating 10 society to be exposed
even oLce to say nothing of twice or three
times. They oftentimes involve very great
expense which the tax payers of the coun-
try have TO meet. Such are some Of the
| many reasons which may be advanced for
a chaHge in the law
l~ The strong presumption, if nine men
out of twelve, all having an equal opror
| tunity 10 judge, concur in an opinion, is
| that the opinion is right; and if to this
we add the corroborating opinion of the
trial judge, then we have as great Ger
tainty as can we'll be attained by iudicia
processes.

Jacksonville's gugitIves.

Macon has officially opened her gates to
fugitives from Jacksonville, and it is not
improbable that other towns in the upper
part Of this state, and In other states, will
do the same thing Indeed, it is fair to as
sumo that all places which have not
quapautined against Jacksonville, arc open
to those of her citizens who wish to seek a
place Of refuge during the continuance of
the fever there.
There is no reason why places which have
always been free from yellow fever, and
where experience has shown there is no
| danger of it spreading, should not welcome
Jacl1sonville's refugees
Savannah, Brunswick Charleston and
other coast cities would act very unwiseiy
to admit the refugees within their limits,
| because they have had epidemics of the
fever, and are liable to have them again if
| exposed to it, Their first duty is to look
out for their own people, and there is no
| reason why they should take any risks
There are plenty of places to which the
refugees can go without danger to anybody.
| If there were not it would then be time for
| the coast cities TO think of offering the
| fugitives a refuge.
If the Jacksonville authorities are salts
fed that they arc Ger ain to have an cpl
demic, would it not be advisable for them
to urge everybody to leave the city who can
possibly get away. If the city could be
almost emptied, the epidemic would soon
run its course, and that, too, without the
oss Of many lives. The railroads, doubt
less, would make liberal reductions in fares.
so that even the poorest could leave the city.
The refugees should be taken to the hill
country, where there would be no danger OF
the fever spreading if a few cases of it
should develop. This method of meeting
the emergency appears to be practical, aud,
in the hands Of practical men, may be
adopted, it would scem, with the very best
results.
