with the ayowed determination 10 pre-

ambushed the party attempting the
arrest, continues and by morning the
number Of fatalities viii undoubtedly
have assumed larger proportions. The
whole country il terribly aroused and
thosherih's posse has been re-eniorced
with men from all the neighboring
towns.
Governor McLaurin has gone to the
scene, which is about ten miles north
Of Forest the nearest railroad point.
The trouble originated last Friday,
when a negro named Bill Burke had
an alteration with his employer,
Charles Freeman, o white man, in
which the negro got the best Of the
difficulty.
That night q crowd Of white men
went TO Burke's house 10 arrest him,
but no was not there. The white men
then decided TO go back the next night
TO capture Burke, and the plan was not
concealed.
Headed by Wallace Sibley, a white
man deputized to arrest the man, the
crowd went to Burke's house, which is
about one mile from Harpersville.
When they arrived upon the scene
and called for Burke they were greeted
by fusilade from the negroes, who
were concealed in the bushes surround
ing the house and in the house itself
Wallace Sibley, the leader, fell dead
at the first volley and three more white
members of the crowd, James John
son, James Hamilton and James
Wells, were wounded.
The whites returned the fire, but
were unable to do any execution, as
their assailants were all concealed.
There we're not more than eight men
in the crowd, and finding it impossi
BILE to resist effectively, they retired
toward Harpersville.
The wounded deputies were able to
get back to town with the assistance
OF their comrades. This occurrence
took place early in the night.
When the crowd returned to Har-
persville the news spread like wildfre.
During the night a large crowd gath
cred from the neighborhood. The
men Immediately went to Burke's
house and got from his mother the
names of all parties in the crowd which
had smbushed the men the night be-
fore. In all there were about forty
negroes who had gathered to prevent
the arrest of Burke, and a list was
made mp at her dictation. All of them
had fed before the crowd made its APP
pearance the next morning. Then the
pursuit and search began.
According to the statement Of relia-
BILE citizens, six of the negroes We're
found and killed by the crowd before
the sheriff arrived.

FOR ORDER IN THE COURT.
A Protest Against Dramatic Demcnstra.
lions In Trials by Jury.

tions In Trials by Jury.
There is a practice the universal
prevalence Of which in our existing
trials by jury makes justice a misno.
mer. It is a practice whose evils, SO
far as l can discover, have never been
commented upon, or even appreciated,
by the press, public or individuals. l
refer to the whole method by which,
right or wrong, innocence or guilt is
sought to be proved by the counsel on
! either side.
Assume, for Instance, a criminal case
for the same method is applied,
though usually to u lesser degree, to
civil contests. Beginning with the
opening arraignment by sthe prosecu-
ton, thence through tie examination
and cross examination of the witnesses,
the display of exhibits, on to the very
end of the final harangues of the oppGs-
ing counsel, the dramatic is never lost
sight Of.
The emotions, not the intelligence, Of
the jurors are appealed to throughout.
In a typical murder case which re-
Gently gratitied the mOrbidly sensational
element of the entire country the dis

with a TREMENDOUSLY tragic voice, proceed

Stunning without doubt that lie was
guilty and %endeavoring by the use of
every vile of the orators art to sway
the jury to his mode of thinking. And
this before the minutcst bit of evidence
had been taken.
Is eloquence a proper adjunct to our
jurisprudence?
Hereto though l may be, I hold en-.
phatically and with qualification that it
is not. 1t has no place in a hall of jus.
tice, where, we are led to believe, the
truth and only the truth is to be brought
out. Eloquence, as manifested by ora
tory, is inimical to truth, which car
only be discovered aud established by
calm, unprejudiced and dispassionate
investigation.
Eloquence appeals to the emotions,
and its victories are obtained by trick
ery-the trickery of masterful verbiage
playing upon sensitive but unreasoninl
ears.
The claim that cannot be justified be
fore the reason cannot be valid. Flo
Quence is the weapon of falsity. Truth
and right do not require its use. Tn,
sphere of eloquence is the stage. In thu
pulpit, before the bar Of justice and il
the hall of legislation it is a source O
unlimited evil.
l hold that for the accomplishment
: Of justice all the theatric displays, al
} eloquence, all excitants to the emotions
should be banished from our courts O
law by sentiment if not by regulation
They have no place there.
Judicial procedure should be a1on,
