We thought all therogues In our section
wei dead, but We were mistaken. A lev
days ago Mr.. J. 81. Hancock's dwelling
house was entered and 500 were stolen
from his trunk. He has no idea who the
thief is. We think it good policy for q

sence.
On last Saturday Mr.. ,. P. Smith. while
crossing the trestle, near Williamlton,
heard the passenger train coming. He
started off at brisk run to get across, but
the train gained on him aud was about to
catch him, and when be reached the end
of the trestle he jumped from the track
and rolled down the embankmept, q dis
tance of about one hundred feet. Fortu.
nately, he was not seriously hurt. The
engineer stopped the train as soon as ne
could, thinking that Mr.. Smith had been
killed. In reply to the engineers ques.
ton, .sare YOU hurt ?" the old man raised
up and exclaimed, "No, go ahead"

We trust, Mr.. Editor, that the extreme
mental depression and nervous disorder
under which we labor, due to recent de.
plorable occurrence, will be sufficient
excuse for the dryness Of this epistle.
While peacefully resting in the embrace
of morpheus, enjoying the breeze that
came through our window, we were sud-
denly awakened about midnight by q
noise without. We seemed bound by a
spell, We could not carry out our pre-
Yious resolutions of demanding of an in
truder to halt, and, in case that was not
done, to send the unfeeling bullet on It's
mission of bloody work, but, alas! we
fell short Of our resolutions, for our
tongue refused to speak and hands to
bring out the revolver from its accus-
toned place under our pillow. However,
our courage was not at faultI it was only
of the latent kind, for no sooner had the
intruder neighbours cow-passed out OF
sight into the corn field behind the barn,
than we quickly seized our trusty weapon
and, coolly taking aim, fired, with the re-
result that We awoke our neighbors from
their peaceful sl4mhers and amazed them
the next morning with story of the bur-
glars desperate attack, his complete de-
feat and hasty retreat. Information as to
the owner of said COW thankfully received,
as we have several charges to make
against him, viz Damages to corn to the
value Of several such boYines; the hope
less arrangement of our nervous organi.
cation, and the deprivation Of our repu-
tation as brave when our neighhQrs
afterward learned that It was only COW.
We think the fellow who said the other
day that his corn was suffering from the
continued droqth erred. He meant to say
that it suffered from 8 too intimate asSoci-
alton with sundry no1ious cyershed2wing
vegetation, or at least this was the impress
sion produced on opr mind when we
passed by the field whore We Yero told he

in England, and generally II this coun'

The Court of General Sessions for
Richland County was brought to close
in novel manner last week. The va.
lidity of the grand and petit juries was
called into question on the following
grounds: The law requires that the
panel of the petit jury shall consist Of
thirty six good and lawful men, compe.
tent to do jury duty. Also, that each
iuryman must be served in person with
the venire tacias by the Sheriff or an an.
thorized deputy. The point made by the
attorney who raised objections to the le-
gaiity Of the jury vas that thirty. six
good and lawful men had not been drawn,
as the returns of the Sheriff showed that
one man whose name appeared on the
panel had been dead for q number of
years, and another had been exempted
from jury duty. Also, the yeaire .tacias
we're served by persons whom the records
did not show to be regularly deputized
by the Sheriff. The objections were we'll
taken, and the Judge sustained them.
But we are not one of those who think
the Law devoid of common sense because
the business of the Court was abruptly
brought to an end for the reason that the
panel Of the petit jury was less than
thirty.six men by two; and even had
there been thirty-six good and lawful
men, that it would not have been COM
petent jury, since the Sheriff had not
regularly deputized the officers who
served notice on the jurymen. The Law
is explicit, and the Sheriff of Richland
is to blame. 1t is good law, because it
is good common sense, that thirty six
men, live and competent and ready st
that time to do jury duty be drawn, and
that notice of such drawing be served by
the Sheriff, or by an officer deputized by
him. The Sheriff of Richland can pre-
vent recurrence of this by doing his
duty as plainly prescribed by law.

CARLISLE vs.. TERRELL.

When Ben Terrell lectured here few
weeks since he excited some amusement
among his auditors by the innocent, self.
complacent style and mock heroic man.
ner with which he told how boldly and
persistently he had sought a joint discus
sion with Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky,
of the demands of the Ocala Convention,
and how the distinguished Senator ig-
ANONYMOUSLY failed to appear. though his
friends repeatedly affirmed that he would
come, and how he waited a day or two in
the hopes that the distinguished Ken
tuckian would get his courage screwed up
to the sticking point, and finally how he
was forced to leave without meeting him
the Senator evidently feeling himself
no match to cope with the little giant
from Texas.
Senator Carlisle doubtless finds much
in the demands of that Convention that
he fully endorses, as every good Demo
crat does, but he just as surely finds much
that cannot and ought not to be endorsed,
and no one thinks he feared an argument
with Mr.. Terrell.
Recently delegation of the Peoples
Party Ito which Mr.. Terrell seems too
friendly called on Mr.. Carlisle to consult
him regarding their political movement.
Government control of railroads and tel.
egrsph lines was discussed, it being one
of the Ocala demands. Mr.. Carlisle ask
ed the delegation. how they proposed for
the government to get possession of the
railroads and telegraph lines, by confsca.
ton or purchase They replied, by pur-
chase. The Senator thereupon laid the
following stumbling block in the way OF
this awild.cat" scheme:
"Our government debt at the close OF
the war vas more than $4,000, 100000,
and we have been almost thirty years in
paying half of it. The railroads, tele-
graphs, telephone lines and steamboats, in
the country represent about s1O,OOo,0oo
600 invested capital; s4,oOo,O0o,o0o is
bonded Indebtedness which must be paid.
Are you ready to tax yourselves to raise
this money? Then, after yod have got
the property, are you ready to tax your
selves to operate it-for the government
never yet succeeded in doing business at
proft7 Consider another effect: Such
plan would add perhaps 100000 men
and women to the roll of government
employees. How would you succeed in
turning out of power an administration
with such resources at its command ? The
more corrupt it Was the more difficult it
would be to displace it."
The delegation is reported to have
slooked downcast and perplexed at this
statement"
Can Mr.. Terrell successfully combat
| these arguments? Cannot every clear
headed man see the absurdity and folly Of
this demand? Gould our government
Withstand such centralization of wealth
| and power? What say you, MIR. Terrell
and gentlemen7
