Death Of Mr.. Josiah Poster.

We are called upon this week TO announce
the death Of Mr.. Josiah Foster, which
occurred Mt his residence, near Jones lille,
last Saturday morning, after brief illness,
at the great age of 80 ycars,--the 2lst inst.
being his birthday.
Mr.. Foster connected himself with the
"e"'~ L.. n'---.'' --h"n n,'ite n Young ran
and ever after lived consistent christian
life.
His wife was n sister Of Mr.. Jehu Spears,
and preceded him TO the grave about ten
years a2,.
MIR. Foster is supposed to be tho last
member Of his immediate family. lie left
no children Of his own, but several niece,
and ncpbcws, children of his brothers and
sisters, survive him. He left large estate,
which he had accumulated by economy
and industry.
Intellectually, Mr.. Foster was enc Of the
most remarkable men of his generation. Hi
education WAS very limited hc,ing only
attended school about ten days in all his life,
but he was said to be one of the best read
men of his day.
On ono occasion, whilo conv versiug with
surpt svu u mo nuowI:ugo rnat seruuue,
and said to him: "Mr. Fostcr, what Coll ege
arc you II graduate OFF" DR.. wofford was
still more amazed Mt his rcrly that he was
not graduate Of any institution of learning.
Mr.. Fnstce -ns n very charitable man,
and to-day there arc great many men who
attribute their start and success in life TO
his generosity and good advice. The poor
always had his assistance. None worthy
were ever turned from Iris door empty
handed.
II is said that he gave eighteen thou sand
dollars during his life towards building
churches and school houses
Fosters Chapel, that rightly bears his
name, was largely built by his iiberality.
He gave a considerable amount towards
building Wesley's chapel, the Flat Rock and
Jonssvillc churches. Among his first dona-
uons towards church building was $500 to.
build the Methodist parsonage here. When
Union was n District, many noble deeds Of
kindness, of which but few knew anything
about at the time, can be traced to his
liberal hand and kind heart.
lie had the love and respect of every one
who knew him, and it may be truly said,
that, a good man has fallen in Israel"
The body was inferred in the Foster
Chapel grave yard, beside his wife, in the
presence Of larg" r"n"""-.c c: friends, VINO
had assembled to pay the last mark of re-
spect and esteem to one whom they loved
and rovcred.

In RE JoNEs.-A past midnight special 10
Ihe State from Lexington county this morn.
ing announces that Robert T. Jones, tho slave,
OF family of three men six years ago, has,
aher six trials, been convicted Of man
slaughter.
The verdict is startling to civilization,
perhaps, but il is one which might have
been anticipated when the character of tho
jurors favored by law aud the extraordinary v
prejudice against convictins white neu OF
murder are considered. Here was n man
who had deliberately murdered three men
In one afternoon cunning, without provoca-
ton and without ruth. Tried five times in his
own county of Edgefcli, 40 was once convict
cd Of manslaughter, and four times the Jury
disagreed. Tho conviction of mansauC hter
WAS upset by the Supreme Court and the
resources Of justice in Edgcficld County
seeming exhausted, his case was transferred
to Lexington County, where his sixth trial
has resulted in verdict which is prcpostsr-
GUS.
How long will our people connvc at or en-
dure system Of justice which permits such
outrages,
How long will the ignorant juryman be
supreme in our courts?
How long will South Carolina be content
TO rest under the disgrace of such vcrdicts
the State.
