in immediate touch and sympathy

IN immediate toucn ana sympathy
with the people.
The issues of the campaign through
which We have just passed are well
understood, and it is quite unnec-
assa1 Cor me to rehearse them now.
One of these issues, and perhaps
the one that was fought with the
most bitterness, and excited the
most ethusiasm, was whether / should
be returned to my home III Edgefeld
with the stigma of the disgrace upon
me that was an unworthy and incom-
petent public servant, or whether l
should receive the plaudits of my
people as having tried to do my
duty. CHEERS and applause.) The
efforts p.t forth by those who be-
lieved that I was unfit to govern this
State were perhaps worthy OF patri-
OTIS, because they certainly fought
me with all the ardor, enthusiasm
and vigor of men engaged in a patrl-
otic undertaking.
But, l am not here to stigmaltze
their motive. l am here ready to
acknowledge that there are good
men on both sides, patriots on both
sides, and that those who fought the
Farmers movement and Reform in
State affairs made their fight on
what they believed to be their duty.
All now ask them is that they shall
believe and admit that We were ac-
tuated by asense of duty. (Applause)
l stand here, gentlemen, to thank
the people of South Carolina who
have sent you here, that they have
not sent me home in disgrace, but
have again placed in my hand the
banner which tney gave me two
years ago-that banner of unstained
Democracy under which we shall
again move forward, working with
common will, common zeal
and common energy for the
! we}farcof South Carolina. Ap-
plause. Let me ask you, gentle
men, when you go back home, to
return my thanks to the people again
Individually, too, l thankyou, because
you have been in the ranks with the
masses. And to those who have
fought us l would say, we extend to
you the right hand of fellowship,
friendship and brotherly love OF
Carolinian to Carolinian, with the
hope that we shall move forward.

them to separate rooms. Each waited

COUNTY COURT.
Several Cases Decided in That
Tribunal Yesterday.

The following business was trans
acted in Roanoke county court yester-
day: Commemorative Attorney Ballard
appealed to the court to revoke the H..
cense of William Karnes on the ground
that he was selling liquor to minors and
keeping disorderly house at his bar
room on the land of the Roanoke De-
velopment Company, near the factories
of the Norwich Lock Works and the
Bridgewater Carriage Company. The
commonwealth proved by witnesses that
Karnes had sold whiskey to minors on
the order of young man named Dono.
van, and contended that under the stat
ute it could only be sold to minor on
the written request of his parents or
guardians.
Col. Logan for the defense, contended
that his client had a right to sell to a
customer through an errand boy who
had the written authority from said Gus
toner, or even if he was technically
guilty, this being motion addressed to
the sound discretion Of the court, the
court should not revoke the license uu-
less it was satisfied that the defendant
was wilfully violating the law. The
court, whilst adjudging that the defend
oho Woo eOOnhiCallf RullGy,
the point that in it's discretion it would
not revoke the license, as it appeared
that the defendant was not wilfully
violating the law, but sold under mis-
apprehension and kept quiet and
orderly house.
The case of William Harrison, colored,
charged with destroying fish in Roanoke
river last May with dynamite, was by
consent of counsel tried before the Judge,
the right of trial by jury being waived.
Tie case was submitted without argu-
ment and the court re ndered verdict
of mot guilty" Nj. &. McClung repre-
sented TIT defendant.
A case growing out of the foregoing
dynamite case was that of Ellis Jen-
nings and Samuel Davis, colored,
Lloyd on the highway last May, the
same night that he arrested William
Harrison. The following jury was
sworn: John Burk, j. w. Peck, w. E.
Bowen, j. w. Graham, ]. G. Richard
son, Nat Wells, j. w. Broom6eld, Jacob
Parrish, L. A. Roberts, R. q. Ligon,
Samuel Parrish, Sr., and f. R. Nugent.
After hearing the evidence they re-
turned this verdict: 1--WE, the jury,
find Ellis Jennings guilty as charged in
this indictment and assess his fine at
SIS, and find Samuel Davis guilty and
assess his fine at S1O." M. G. McCluug
was the counsel for the defense.
