Testimony of Rev. Charles NJ. sheldon
The Charge to the Jury

The Charge to the Jury
The case against Druggist Lee Jones
for selling liquor, IN which Rev. O. N.
Sheldon IS the prosecuting witness. WAS
tried IN the district court this morning.
The charge TO the jury and the argu-
ments are in progress this afternoon
There seems to be little doubt, how
ever. that Lee Jones will be acq Quilted, as
the evidence against him is weak Never
theless County Attorney Stafford says he
is going to give the case 'the best lie has
in the shop" Jones is defended by David
Overmyer.
The weak point in the evidence, and
the one through which Jones viii prOba-
bly, escape, is this: The alleged pur-
chase was made by I. s. Hand, formerly
a member of the firm of the Kellam
Book and Stationery company, but now
of New York. AIr. Sheldon and A G.
Carruth, by prearranged plan, were in
the store drinking soda water at the time
the purchase was made. Mr. Hand is
not in Topeka to testify in the case. and
the conviction rests entirely with MT. Shell
don and Mr.. Carrutn. Neither 0i these
gentlemen were Die to swear th at they
saw Jones give Hand the pint bottle Of
whisky in question. although they saw
Hand pay for something. Dir. Carruth
however, noticed bulglng in Hands
coat pocket when be left the store. This
is the only evidence IN the case.
Mr. Sheldon when he was on the stand
produced pint bottle Of whisky wrap
ped in a pink paper which he said was
just as il came from Jones' place
"Who's got corkscrewt" inquired
County Attorney Stafford.
Etenorra pher Ralph Cav indicated
Eugene Quinton, but Judge Hazen said,
why not use your own"
Mr. Sheldon stated that he saw Lee
Jones since the arrest and he said Hand
was a member Of his lodge, the Eiks, and
being a member WAS guilty Of a breach Of
the obligations of the order in making
the case against him, as they took an
oath to do each other no harm.
Then Mr.. Overmyer examined Mr.
Sheldon.
''Why did you happen to 60 to Jones'
drug store that day9"
30 see whether or not the law was
being violated"
"Why did You want to find that out9"
"To satisfy myself regarding the point,
and to inform the public about it,"
Are you an officer Of the law"
mo, sir"
Are you a member of any detective
agency"
s'No, sir"
Did you have any hope of rewards"
"When you went there did you expect
to have Dir. Jones arrested9"
mo, sir; that did not suggest itself
until afterwards. As I say, 1 went there
to find out for myself regarding the en-
f0rcement Of the law
~Why did you select Lee Jones drug
store7''
because he had the reputation Of VIC
lating the law"
Did you ever hear Of his being con
victed9"
con what did you base your idea of
his reputation9"

WILLIAM E CURTIS the we'll known
Washington correspondent Of the Chioa-
40 Record says:
Senator PETER attributes to Mr. Cleve-
land an uncomfortable ambition to be-
come the leader Of the Republican party.
He says that the tariff having been dis
posed Of for a decade at least. there is
u D Issue between the two political par
ties but the silver and currency ques-
tiOns, and upon these the president is
just as much a Republican as John Sher-
man or Benjamin Harrison, William
Mckinley or Tom Reed Mr. PETER be-
Heves that before the next election the
people Of the country are going to di-
vide on a preference between two metals
or one as money, and that Mr. Cleveland,
by the logic Of his position. will be the
the head chief of the gold bugs And
strange as this suggestion may seem,
large number of other men believe it.

EVER since last summer the tabor
leaders" have been trying to place the
responsibility Of the failure of the great
strike last summer. Much bitterness and
hard feeling have been engendered in
consequence. The fact about the aband-
onment Of the strike is that Eugene
Debs suddenly found himself at the head
of al incipient revolution, which he had
not calculated on, and for which he was
totally unprepared- He had lighted
fuse which only required little tanning
TO cause it to ignite magazine. He
saw that the only way out was to back
out and be did it Gompers. Evans,
Mcguire aud the rest realized the situa-
tion and declined to call out their fol-
lowers, and the country was probably
saved from very serious consequences.
When anything like a general strike
occurs again, it will be safer for every
body not to let il 60 50 far as the one of
last summer.

INJUSTICE TO CATHOLICS.
George Parsons Lathrop says the Church
Is 1Iisrepresented-

New YORK, Nov. 22.=George Parsons
Lathrop delivered an address last night
on the subject of religious federation.
Mr.. Lathrop's address went to show
that the Catholic church in the United
States today stood IN a false light There
was as great a misappre hension concern
ing it as there was in England in the days
Of the @No Popery" riots in London
which were led BY Lord George Gordon.
He spoke Of unjust attacks made on
the Catholic church by the a. p. A. and
kindred anti Roman Catholic organiza-
tions. He declared the Catholic church
was not opposed TO the progress Of civili-
cation, was not guilty Of Intolerance and
was not in favor Of union of church
and state

Wooten s. McWhirter.

Yesterday was opening day 1 at
Wooten & McWhirter's. Their store
was most handsomely decorated with
hot .house plants end evergreens
and with the beautiful dress goods
draped with the latest colors and trim
mings, presented a picture of beauty
and loveliness. All day long yesterday
the store was filled with the ladies Of
Newberry who were sdmiring the ele-
CANT dress patterns and the good taste
displayed in ishowsng off the trim
uings and combinations of colors.
This lovely combination and happy
effect in displaying the beauty of the
fabrics was due to the excellent taste Of
Miss Helfrich, the new dress maker
who will superintend the dress making
department at Wooten & McWhiter's
this fall and winter. Jet and velvet are
the prevailing trimmings for this
season and as arranged by the aGmlra-
bic taste of Miss Helfrich, from the
latest French plates, make dress love
ly enough for the fairies. There were
some very pretty patterns Of dress
goods on exhibition yesterday and to
look upon had the effect of making
one wish that cotton would take an
upward movement. Messrs. Wooten,
McWhirter, Martin, Miss Wooten and
Miss Reess, and Miss Helfrich will
take pleasure in waiting upon the
ladies when they call.

At Two Dollars for the Next Sixty Days.

At Two Dollars for the Next Sixty Days.
We have mentioned the fact several
times before that we had published
the Annals of Newberry. The book is
much larger than at first contemplated,
and We cannot sell it for less than $500
per copy without loss, but as every one
seems to think that is too high and re-
alizing the hard times and the low price
OF cotton, we have decided to sell it for
the next sixty days at $500 copy.
We have quite number on hand yet
and we ask every one who wants a
copy of this valuable book to call and
get copy while it can be had at this
remarkably low price. 1t is book that
should be in the hands Of every family
in Newberry County. If it is not con-
venient for you to call at the office, send
50 and we will mail it to you promptly.
Newberry is the only County in~the
State that has the honor of having its
annals written and published, and the
people should not suffer the publishers
to keep the books on hand. At this
price we cannot afford to-pay agents to
sell it, but we more than save the COM
mission to the purchaser by his sending
to or calling at the Office for his copy.
Mr.. C. F. Boyd has few copies on
hand which he will sell at the same
price. We ought to sell all that we have
on hand by the first Of November. so
call early and be sure of copy. Let
every man in Newberry County secure
for himself copy ofthis valuable book,
and our word for it, he will never have
cause to regret it.

Dots from St. Philips

A big rain Monday evening.
The 18th of next month (October) has
been appointed as the time for having
tie siuging-school picnic.
The young folks met at the church
last Saturday evening and organized a
Young Peoples Society Of Christian
Endeavor. The society has our best
wishes.
The Herald and News made lots of
mistakes in setting up our last "Dots." J."
The word clearer" as it appeared in
the paper, was written "clever" in our
MS. The word "regret" appeared in
place of ''neglect,n and the word "cir-
culation" in place of "legislation"; and
then, again.. we found that several
words had been left out, which spoiled
our composition. That kind of "doc-
toring" won't work.
A certain gentleman in this county
who, it is said, intends to enter the race
for Congress, went to colored school
| house y few miles from this place
sometime ago, and while speaking and
giving out registration tickets, a negro
on one Of the back seats commenced
| laughing, whereupon an old fellow sit
ting just in front Of him turned on him
| with scornful look and rebuked him
thus: "What you laughin' at, you d-n
fool you, when somebody's tryin' ter
put er silver spoon in yo' mouf an' you
won't take it." We tell the tale as
twas told to US.
We read the following in a story
paper under the title of "Items of In
terest." 1T is estimated that a man
sixty years old has devoted seven
months of his life to buttoning his
shirt collar" If cotton doesn't 60 up
will the coming generation lose that
| much time fun bling with their shirt
collars.
Mrs. Mahala Fulmer, Of Orangeburg,
is visiting friends and relatives in this

A new schoolhouse has just been
completed near the junction of the

as the Fork Academy.
For the benefit of those late aspirants
to Gubernatorial and Congressional
honors we quote the following:
Thou hast charmed cup, o fame!
A craught that mantles high.
And seems to lift this earthly frame
Above mortality"
It is our opinion that this same
"charmed cup" has lifted some Of the
politicians not above mortality, but
above the atmosphere of reason, where
they are now reposing like infants
! though not so harmless-on the lap OF
fanaticism while q kind Of 'possum
smile lights up their countenance
which leaves US under the impression
that they are dreaming Of being carried
| in the arms of fame along the rough
and rugged road to Office. But at last
the election, like bolt of thunder, will
shake the political armament to its ut
most limits, and then will our dream
ing, scheming, office-seeking 1nde-
pendents, Republicans, etc., awake and
stand like blasted sapliugs mot tree,
though old enough to be,) after the po-
litical storm is past, ever after bearing
the mark by which they will be known
and known only to be detessed, and
