The Lynch burg Advance. in an editorial
very unfriendly TO The Times, denies that
it is In favor Of cheating in elections. This
statement was ELECTED by our remarks
on the quotation from the Advance re-
Gently made by the Dispatch. We will
not. however, permit the harshness Of the
Advance TO prevent our expressing re-
gret at any language which. even in
ferentially, put it where it does not be-
long, in the list of aiders and abettors
of frauds in election. The Advance should,
however. keep better company. as the CID
proverb "noscitur g socio" still holds good.

The Farrall Case.

In our issue Of January 3, 1895 we pub
lishe ed letter from Bryantown CORES.
pendent mentioning the alleged death by
poison of Mr.. Frederick Farraii, of the
Hughesvile neighborhood and stating that
his body had been exhumed, stomach and
contents, etc, been removed and taken to
Washington for examination by an expert,
and that the cOroner's jury had adjourned
to await the doctors report. From the
Charles county papers Of the Sth instant,
we learn that the jury resumed its sitting
Thursday of last week, and that DR.. l.. &.
Carrico was the first witness called by the
State. The Crescent states that the doctor
testified to being summoned on Sunday
night, the 10th of December, TO the bedside
of she deceased; reached him shortly before
midnight; found him suffering with con-
vulsions, thought by the Doctor TO be
uremic commissions from the symptoms.
Patient thought he had mania posu;. said
he had been drinking very hard. Later,
patient said in response 10 inquiry tina: his
wife had given him dose of quinine that
evening, but that it might have been dose
of strychnine for all he knew. Witness
administered grain of pure morphia by
hypode-mic injection, and grain COM
bined with atropia by same means. Had
no perceptible effect. commissions continued
and patient died of asphyxia, resulting from
cunyulsions, at o'clock the next morning.
Witness had no reason 10 believe that the
patient was suffering, from strychnine
poisoning, as he found on examination that
the usual and well known symptoms of
such poisoning were lacking, and he did
not treat him for such.
DR. E. N. Schaeffer was the next witness.
DR.. Schaeffer testified to conducting the
autopsy, assisted by DR.. T. S. Owen, on
December "a, 1894. He found body well
preserved, although seven days after death.
Deceased aged IS; height feet, 5 inches:
