Fearful Crime Unayeneed.

TAvAREs, FLA, January 29.-To-
day, after a trial lasting sixteen days,
Irwin Jenkins, Marion Clinton and
William McRae were acquitted of
what are known as 'the Packwood
murders" The crime with which the
men were charged was committed on
the night of December 10, 1891, and
was most brutal. The victims were
Miss Bruce, a young woman, aged 80;
her nephew. Frank Packwood, aged
z; Mrs. Hatch, aged 40, and her SON,
Bennie Hatch, aged 10. The victims
were butchered in a horrible manner
and Miss Bruce and Mrs. Hatch were
ravished. The crime was committed
near New Smyrna, in Volusia County
and the case came here on q change
of venue. Miss Bruce was from New
York and came to Florida to keep
house for her widowed brother-in-law,
f. J. Packwood. On December 10,
1891, Mr.. Packwood left home for
Jacksonville, and not liking to leave
Miss Bruce and his son alone, got Mrs.
Hatch, a neighbor, to remain with
them over night. Mrs. Hatch took
her little boy along, and either on the
night of the 10th or the morning of
the 18th the two women and the little
boys were butchered. For a long
time the murder was mystery, but at
last suspicion fell on Jenkins. McRae
and Clinton, the first being an Indian
and the two latter prominent young
white men, and they were arrested
and indicted. Last year the men were
tried here and convicted, but they ap-
pealed. and the Supreme Court re-
manded the case for second trial,
which to-day resulted in the acquittal
of the accused, as stated The evidence
was purely circumstantial, but on the
first trial was considered strong. In
the second trial the State was handi-
capped Dy the absence of material wit
nesses, and did not make out strong
case. The two trials have cost Volusia
County thousands of dollars and
bankrupted the defendants and their
families, and after all thepersons who
murdered and ravished Miss Bruce
and Mrs. Hatch and killed two inno-
cent little boys are unpunished.

HPaY aa You Co.

The farmer cannot succeed until he
learns to live on what he makes after
it is made, and not on what he ex,
poets TO make before it is made. Many
years ago, an economical, thrifty far
mer, was asked by a large cotton
planter, why it was that, though ne
was called a poor farmer and made
much less to the hand than many OF
his neighbors, he was prospering,
while they, with all their broad acres
and heavy crops, were constantly fall
ing into debt and becoming embarrass-
ed. He replied: "You begin at the
wrong end; you buy your supplies at t
the beginning of the year on credit, |
buy mine at the end for cash." This
was the true secret Of the difference. Mr.
McDuffie, in an agricultural address,
delivered thirty years ago, IN the hall
of the General Assembly at Columbia
introduced, in connection with this
subject, the language of that remarka-
BILE statesmen, John Randolph, who,
in the midst of one of his brilliant
rhapsodies in the United States Senate,
suddenly paused and exclaimed with
the utmost tention of his squeaking
voice: Mr.. President! l have dis
covered the philosophers stone! 1t

monosylables: Pay as you gol

Some Good Advice.

A prominent Southerner, now iv-
ing in New York, but still interested
in the prosperity of our people, writes
to the Columbia State as follows:
IT have noticed several of your ref
erences to cotton acreage this year. l
think that if you could urge upon the
farmers the Importance of short crop
this year it would be the greatest good
any one could do for the South. The
professional bears are simply wild
with delight and are looking for a
grand bear campingn on account of the
Increased mule and fertilizer sales.
English spinners are over 100000
bales short, but they think the South
will turn loose its spots if large'area
is planted and that price will decline.
They are therefore doing their utmost
to break prices and make the South
turn loose its holdings" AS will be
seen by the above the immense trade
in mules and fertilizers is taken by the
cotton sharks as an indication that the
Southern farmers are going wild over
cotton planting again and they are
uSluS Iuo drSuulOuI VI q ioiSC SotooA
crop as a reason for reducing the price
of cotton. They seem to think that
mules and fertilizers are only used In
the South for making cotton. Already
they have their agents throughout the
cotton belt reporting the prospect OF
an increased cotton acreage, and on
these reports they predict fall in the
price of cotton. We adhere to the
opinion we have always held, that the
Southern farmer cannot afford to raise
cotton except as a surplus crop, and
when he does that he can do so profit
ably even if the price goes down to
five cents. Let your first object be to
make plenty of meat and other home
supplies and then plant all the cotton
you can cultivate and you will be
prosperous and happy.

further mountainous the roll was call
ed as required by the new Constitu
ton.
The election of Judge Pope was
unanimous. He is to serve for a pc
riod of eight years.
Mr.. Thurmond, of Edgefeld, nomi
mated Speaker Jones.
The same process was then gone
through as to the vote, and Speaker
Jones Was declared elected an associ
ate justice of the State supreme court
for term of six years. The senate
then retired to its chamber, the joint
assembly being dissolved, many con-
graduating Mr.. Jones on his elevation
to the supreme bench.
The house was then called to order
again, with Mr.. Breazeale in the chair.
Mr.. Jones rose and said: Mr.. Speak
er, having been elected as one of the
justices of the supreme court of South
Carolina by the general assembly, /
tender to this body my resignation as
speaker. to take effect Immediately"
Mr.. Bacot, after expressing regret
that the house had to part with its
able and popular speaker, moved that
the resignation be accepted. Miller
suggested that it bs done by rising
vote. This the house agreed to, and
the resignation was accepted.
The house then adopted appropriate
resolutions of thanks to the retiring
speaker for his uniform fairness and
coult tesy as presiding officer.

when the Senate met, there was
an acknowledged majority of men
open and outspoken in their determi-
nation to stand by the white metal and
who were elected on that issue. But
the process of debauchery began.
Vote according to my will or you will
have no Offices Vote according to
my will, and if your people do not like
it I will take care of you The news
papers raved and abused the Senate.
The bankers telegraphed and wrote.
Chambers of commerce passed resolu-
tions and slowly the Senate yielded.
In ninety days the deed was done and
the claims were riveted on the wrists
of the toiling millions. Did the raid
on the Treasury stop2"
Discussing then the tariff bill which
passed in the regular session follow
ing, he said: 1T is true he the Presi-
dent did not sign it, and allowed it to
become a law without approval. But
here again we have a spectacle of
charlatancy and hypocritical assump-
ton of superiority to his party which
has always marked his career. The
tariff law which he repudiated as un-
worthy, involving party perfidy and
party dishonor,' is the sheet anchor to
which he clings."
And again, referring to the Presi-
dent, IF he was honest at the start
(and l am willing to grant that much)
his association with Wall street and
his connection with wealthy men had
debauched his conscience and de.
stroyed all sympathy with the mas
ses."
The Senator then referred to the fall
in the prices of all farm products. The
impoverishment of the farmers had
destroyed, he said, their ability to
purchase on the one hand, while the
decreased price of their products of
export in European markets had left
our debts for imports and interest on
obligations abroad unpaid. Hence
the export of gold to meet these obliga-
tons. In this connection, he said in
part:
"Rothschild and his American
agents graciously condesend to come
to the help of the United States Treas
uIy in maintaing the gold standard
which has wrought the ruin
and only charges a small COM
mission of ten millions or so.
