Why He Loves Cleveland.
An Editor Who Has Stood by the
Old Man Because as President
He Stood by the South.
GoIdsboro Argus.

boiuSOofO Argus.
All through the years of its en-
tire existence The Argus has
stood by Grover Cleveland even
when it cost something more than
talk to be his friend in the politi-
cal maelstrom engendered by Of
tice-seekers and augmented by
time servers. The Argus las
ever been his friend because he
has ever been the unterrlfed and
unfaltering friend of the South
ern people, and The Argus is of
the South and the Southern peo,
pie as a whole are the grandest
people on the earth.
When he was fist elected
President he not only took into
his cabinet Southern men AND
Confederate generals, at that, but
he sent Southern men and Confed
eratesoldiers as ministers and con
suls abroad; and he did likewise
in hissecond administration. But
why recount these incidents now:
Theyare familiar knowledge the
world over.
Mr.. Cleveland was right. He
knew he was right: he generally
is right: and when he knows he is
right he dares to do and take con
sequence, md wait for time, the
tomb. builder of sYchophauts, to
bring the people round to right
thinking again. Hence it is that
the people may be trusted, for,
"you may fool all the people some
of the time, and some OF the pee
pie all the time; but you cannot
fool all the people all the time.

CONVICTED OF KILLING HIS son.

CONVICTED OF KILLING HIS son.
Kingstree, April 21.-The case
Of the State against j. w. Boddi
ford, charged with the murder of
his son, Robert, on she 23d of
last December, took up all Of yes
terday and this morning. 1t
seems that Boddiford met several
members of the Gains family not
far from his home on the night of
the day mentioned, and quarrel
ensued, being superiuduced pro.
badly by unfriendly relations
existing between the above name
parties. Both parties resorted to
firearms, both pistol and gun, and
n general melee followed. 1t was
discovered after the shooting that
young Boddiford, son of the de.
fendant, was lying dead with a
bullet in his head. The father, it
seems, did not know that his son
was anywhere about the place of
the shooting.
Most of the testimony brought
out showed that it was general
combat between the several Gain
ses on one side and Boddiford on
the other. The bullet in Young
Boddiford's head was the same
size as the other bullets that the
defendant fired and it was testifi
cd that this was the only pistol of
that calibre in use.
After the testimony vas all in,
the arguments heard and the inry
charged, the jury retired, return
