Quiet Her merchants are rejoicing
over the heavy trade that followed a
full crop, and farmers find no dlthcu.-

other year 1t is safe to say that the
people OF Clarendon are more pros
porous now than at any time since the
war. Everybody seems to have set
tied down to work and there is conse-

ever before.

This has been an unusual winter for

This is one reason why the oat crops

A Trial Justice court was lately
held at Greeleyville. After the jurors
were sworn the foreman suggested to
the Justice, that in view of carrying
concealed deadly weapons, and of re-
cent disastrous events resulting there
from in courts of justice, he would do
well to examine the parties in suit,
and not allow them to enter with such
weapons on or about their persons.
The request was complied with, no
weapons we're found, the itigants were
in peace and friendship with each 9th
er, and the court proceeded with no
prospect of a bloody tragedy before
their eyes. Now, if THIS justice had
right to do what he did, have not all
the Judges the same right? Ifajudge
