Geo. Z. Rowe Tried and Found Not
EuiitY.

The case of the State VS.. George L. Rowe.
manager Western Union Telegraph Com
pany at Manning, for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses was tried before Trial
Justice Wells to-day and resulted in an ac-
quittal of that yonng man by an lntelll-
gent Jury of white men from Sumter, all
veil acquainted with, and, no doubt.
friends Of Mr., Horace Hardy the prosecus-
ing witness. The evidence in the case
brought out the following:
Mr.. Rowe, in compliance with the re-
que of Mr. j. Mcleod, merchant and cot
ton buyer, OF Manning, loaned Mcleod S4O
that be had on hand, belonging to him and
the W. .. I. Co. Coming to sumter on
several occasions he drew several drafts on
Mr. Mcleod. OF which two We're honored:
On the 18th of November he borrowed
from Mr H. Hardy, of Sumter. 5! .OO. and
gave him II draft on Mr.. Mcleod. but when
the draft was presented there were only
81. so to his credit, and 'lr. Mcleod, al
though he had been accommodated by
Rowe, would not pay the difference. 81 oO,
and make out the full amount OF the draft,
therefore, the draft Was returned. lhere
was no evidence that MI. HARDY ever not-
fed Mr. Rowe of the draft not being paid,
and Mr.. Rowe claims that he knew nothing
of its not being paid until he was arrested
IN addition to drafts drawn upon Ar- Nc
Leo0, Rowe had a separate account IN the
store for goods, which his mother and faith
er got there, and not being fully posted as
to the amount Of goods taken up IN addl-
ton to the drafts drawn. Mr. Rowe says
he was positive that be had at least $500
on hand. The State entirely failed to
prove any intent upon the part Of Mr.
Rowe, to defraud or obtain any money un-
der false pretenses. MIR. Rowe stated on
the stand that il was his intention to pay
Mr.. Hardy the 500 whether the case
went against him or not and that if Mr..
Hardy hed notified him before his arrest,
he would have paid it then. The jury
after considering the evidence for a very
short Will, rendered n verdict OF not
guilty.
MIR. Rowe claimed that he was locked up
in Manning Jail for ten days and not al
lowed to give bail, although his friends Of
fered bail for him, and that only for Sheriff
Marion Sanders, of Sumter, who went
down there to get another prisoner and
found him in the Jail and took him out
and brought hum to Sumter when he gave
bond, he would have had to remain in jail
longer. This looks bad for the trial justice
at Manning, if what Mr.. Rowe says is true,
and it does not look like he would tell q
lie. knowingly, that the facts will be
brought out An explanation is in order
from the authorities in Manning, and it
ought to come out, and if it is true the
blame ought to be put on the officer, and If
it is not true it Is due the officer that the
charge be refuted. Mr.. Rowe says that Mr.
Abe Levi and others offered 10 so on his
bond, and their offers were refused. Mr.
Levi can be depended to say whether this
is truth or not.-Sumter Item, 18th inst.

with these headlines: ''Set Free'-"Geo. I.

the request of Trial Justice Tmmons, and
in Just ce to him, wish to correct that part
of the said article which reads Us follows:
"Mr. Rowe says that MIR. Abe Levi and
others offered to 60 on his bond and their
offers were refused" will State that

nor was l ever asked by Mr.. Rowe, or any

fact was not aware of Mr.. Rowe being
confined in the Jail here until the article
above referred to was handed to me to read

the Statements Made.
Editor The Daily Item:-In your issue OF
Dec. 11th, I notice that am charged with
being responsible for George T. Rowe haT-
ing remained in Jail for ten days without
case against him being investigated. The
facts in the case are as follows: Il. L. 3.
Wells, trial Justice at Sumter, issued the
warrant for Rowe, lodged it with the sheriff
of Sumter county; he sent it to the sherlft
of Clarendon county, who suppose exc
cuted it. I had nothing to do with the case,
and knew nothing of Rowe having re-
manned in Jail so long until since his re-
lease. You state further that MIR. Rowe
says that Mr.. Abe Levi and others offered
to 60 on his bond deny positively that
Mr.. Abe Levi or any one else ever offered
to me, or in my presence to go on his bond.
Mr. Rowe's friends if he had any, must not
have taken much interest in his case, or 1.
and others of the place would have known
of his confinement in Jail here, before we
learned it through the columns of your pa
per. Yours very truly,

Trial Justice at Manning.

NOTHING is SECRET IN CHINA.

"In China a private house is I'M
known. Any one can 60 anywhere, and
if there is the least provocation he will
do 80. To shut the door is bad sign.
What is going on within that he dare
not admit his fellowtownsmen?' people
are likely to say. There are no news
papers, no objects of general and human
interest to attract attention, and, as men
and women must be interested in some
thing, it is natural that they should be
fond of neighborly gossip. Every Chin
csc has relatives beyond all count or re-
membrance. His wife has as many
more. His married children add to the
ever widening circle. By the time he is
sixty years of age man is related to
hundreds upon hundreds of individuals,
each of whom is entirely conscious of the
relationship and does not forget or ignore
it. Not only do all the members of this
army of relatives feel themselves entitled
to know all the details of ones affairs,
but the relatives of the relatives
swarm branching into infnity-will per
haps do the same. II man is rich or a
magistrate they certainly will do it. One
cannot make business trip to sell
watermelons, to buy mules, to collect a

hold bills are often to him a matter of
annoyance IN their necessary auditing,
and it would be relief to the mother,
as we'll as to the father, to know that the
accounting was in the hands of daugh-
to the work. The lawyer. also. has at
times certain briefs and affidavits which
cannot always be written at the office,
and he, too, would be glad to have his
daughters assistance In fact, every
man has certain things in his life which
he would gladly turn into the hands Of
a daughter if ne felt that it would please
her to be able to relieve him. Few
daughters either realize this or even
imagine it. l have often felt that if girls
could enter more into the lives of their
fathers, and take from them some of the
little burdens, they would be the better
for it. Not only would such help be
relief to the father, but it would be an
educative training for the girl which
would stand her in good stead in her
later years. Helping her father to re-
member his daily engagements, seeing
that his accounts are properly balanced
following his personal matters-all these
things enter into the life Of girl when
she becomes wife. And, if she begins
with her fathers interests, she will have
a better idea of the things which con-
stitute mans life when she becomes a
wife. Daughters should come much
closer to their fathers than they do. And
it must be remembered that they are
not aloof because of any unwillingness
on the part of the father.

Are those which every mortal shares.

For rest it yields unnumbered feet

Because she makes the whole world sweet

AFTER THE RAIN.
BY IRENE PUTNAM.

The rain was over. and every leaf
Was flushed with rosy light:
The daisies laughed frem their childish grief
And their eyes were teary bright;
And the meadow spider with golden crown
Ran up by his silver stair,
Shaking the trembling raindrops down
That hung and twinkled there.
Their ebony flies the crickets tried,
And ever the shriller blew;
His furry bonnet the wild bee dried.
Scraping its dust and dew;
And the drops slid down from the green grass
stem
Into the moss cups fine;
The water glowed on the strawberry gen.
Brewing the fairies wine.
The hair. bird trilled in the pearl-strung bush.
And the roadside steamed with balm;
In the dripping forest the hermit thrush
Lifted his silvery psalm.
Over the mountain like amber mist
The sun on the woodlands lay,
He pledged to the glittering leaves he kissed
Tomorrow. a golden day.
Good Housekeeping.
