Have Trial Justices Jurisdiction of
Petit Larceny?

Trial Justice d. S. Craig holds that his
court has no jurisdiction to try cases of
petit larceny, thus raising new ques-
ton as to the constitutionality of the
special Act of 1887, limiting tho punish
ment of petit larceny to fine of 800 or
Imprisonment in tho county Jail for not
more than thirty days, thus bringing it
within the jurisdiction of the trial JUS
tice court The case in which Justice
Craig made this ruling was that of Mary
Muchaplease, colored, who was brought
before him last Saturday by Sheriff Moss,
on warrant charging her with stealing
dress, of the value of one dollar, from
Miss Mary Maxwell. The State dovol-
oped q strong prima facte case and she
was committed to Jail to await trial at
the November torn of Sessions Court.
Justice Craig bottoms his opinion on
tho alleged nconstitutionaiity of the
Act of 1887, which he holds conflicts
with Article V of the Amendments to
tho Constitution of the United States
which prescribcs that "No person shall
be held to answer for u capital or other
wise Infamous crime, unless on present
ment or indictment by q grand jury"
Petit larcony is an infamous offense at

CoNNERoss, S. c., September 4, 1880.
DEAR CoURlGR: Crops arc decidedly
the best in this section since the war.
The following farmors have fnc crops OH
the banks of Conneross creek, viz: Horny
Lee, w. b. White, g. w. Broom, A. l..
Beechem, Morgan Jofferson, VIM. Stoll-
ing and j. B. Burdett.
Mr.. Jefferson is an enterprising fai mer
who lately moved from Anderson ccmnty
and bought farm which he is rapidly
improving. He was born and raised near
London, England.
mir. John Reynolds, OF Chattahoochic,
Ca, is visiting Mr. Henry Butler. He
was raised OH Cane Creek in this county,
but went to Georgia fifty sig years ago,
where he is a large planter. He says he
killed many deer where Seneca and VOL
halla now stand.
Messrs. Jacob Barnett and Frank, Nor
ris are enterprising young men and are
building barbed wire fence to enclose a
stock pasture. 4
We recently attended tho Mountain
Baptist Association at Long Creek church.
We noticed along the route thatthe crops
were good. We spent the night with Mr..
Ebert Cobb and his kind lady and were
we'll entertained. Arriving at the church
site early Saturday morning we found
the Association in session under n large
oak tree {the fine new church building
having been burmed) and proceeding with
business just the same as if they were in
a house.
We spent tho night with Mr.. Jonas
Phillips and were kindly entertained.
Here we found large fields of fine corr,
and acres of tho bost cabbage we ever
saw.
On Sunday the attendance OH the ses.
sion of tho Association was large. There
were from five to eight hundred people
coming from all parts of the county.
There wero two most excellent sermons
preached by Revs. j. S. Dickson and T..
Philyaw, of Clayton, Ga. The pooplo of
Long Creek and community distinguished
themselves for their kindness and hos
pitality. o. NJ. A.

DEAR Courier DR.. John N.
Doyle and, wife boarded the West
bound train here this morning for
their home in Granbury, Texas. We
wish them a pleasant trip and a long,
happy and prosperous life.
Miss Minnie Butler, of Eatonton,
Ga, spent several days with friends
in our town last week.
Fodder pulling is progressing very
slowly, and if the weather does not
clear up in few days the crop will
be very short.
Cotton has commenced opening
nicely and if we could only have
clear weather the fields would be
white in few days.
Some of our farmers were some
what disappointed in the Hon. Ben.
Terrell, and since we have heard of
the language he made use of in his
speech, we do not blame them. Let
us throw cold water on all such
"Cow Boy" profanity and show the
Hon. Ben. Terrell that if he expects
to claim anything for the elevation of
tho moral standard of oar farmers
he must get up higher himself.
Mr.. w. Z. Dendy has returned to
the North Georgia College at Dah-
lonega. Messrs. J. p. Dendy and
81. Dendy Stribling, of our town,
have also gone to enter the same
college. We are glad to see such
a thirst for knowledge exhibited
among our boys. r..

than probable that its sovereign efficacy as
preventive and remedy for intermittent and

action upon the liver, an organ prejudicially
involved in all malarIal complaints. Persons
