and for the defense the accused, whose
statements could not be corroborated be-
cause of inadmissible evidence-affidavits
not accepted by the court of soldiers who
had been ordered to distant stations and
whose dispositions 1t would have required
much time to secure. Whether they would
have corroborated the statements of the
accused and, thus thrown the preponder-
ance Of testimony in his favor is uncertain,
but, as the case stands of record, doubt
as to guilt exists. and 1t is only proper that
the accused should receive the benefit of
that doubt: moreover. he has been awaiting

All Danger Has Passed

On last Thursday the sere
nifty of our town was some
what disturbed by the report
that there was a case of small
pox at Johnston. The town
council telephoned immediate
ly to the authorities of Johns
ton concerning the report,
receiving the reply that MIR.
VIM. Toney, business mana
ger of the Johnston News, had
symptoms of smallpox of a
mild type, Upon receipt of
this information our town
authorities very wisely estab
lished quarantine regulations
to preclude the possibility of
its spreading to Edgeheld.
However, the danger has en-
tirely passed and all fears can
be cast to the wind. If MIR.
Toney, who has almost en-
tirely recovered, really had
smallpox, of which there is
considerable doubt and diver
sity of opinion, 1t was OF a
very mild form, not as severe
as some attacks of chicken
pox. 1t appears now that it
was "nuch ado about moth
ing'', SO let the people OF
Edgefeld, Trenton, Johnston
and every other community
persue the even tenor of their
way, forgetting the reports of
the past and not be disturbed
by rumors that may be aHoat
in the future.

Church Row and Homicide.

Last Sundays services at Mt.
Pleasant, church of the colored
people near Johnston, did not ac-
cord with the name of the church.
Even if properly begun the services
had a tragic ending. There are two
factions IN the church, one of
which was opposed to the pastor
and the other in sympathy with
him. Long spent up feeling was
vented in angry words which LED
to a general row that was particl-
patod in by "the world, ths flesh
and the devil" After the smoke
of battle had cleared away it was
found that Joe Hammond had been
shot to death by James Henderson
and several others were wounded.
Magistrate N. L. Brunson, accom-
panied by DR.. ]. T. Patterson, went
down on Monday to hold an in
quest as required by law.

Remembered His Teacher.

The following from an exchange
will be of interest to many of our
readers who will remember that
Prof. David S. L. Johnson was pri-
vate tutor at Edgewood just prior
and subsequent to the death Of
Mrs. F. w. Pickens: The late N.
G.. Gonzales spent the last year of
his school life in Fairfax county,
Virginia. Prof. D. L. S. Johnson
was his teacher. Young Gonzales
was ambitious to prepare himself
for newspaper work, and Prof.
johnson did not classify him, 40
that he might have an opportunity
to make all the progress possible.
From that day until his death he
did not forget "Mr. Davy," az he
called his old teacher.
On last Christmas Mr.. Gonzales
wrote him: "My dear Mr.. Davy:
Please let me share with you this
Christmas my dividend from "The
State" enclosing liberal check.

A deserved Promotion.

Some days ago it was reported
that Mr.. E. G. Haltiwanger con-
templated resigning his position
at Aiken with tho Southern rail-
way. The officials Of the road re-
cognized his ability and instead of
giving him up rewarded his years
Of faithful service by promoting
him to the position of freight agent
at Aiken, furnishing him with a
Competent assistant. This promo
ton means not only increased pay
but less work. The Southern rail-
way has never made a promotion
tt at was more deserved than the
one in question. Mr.. and Mrs. E.
&. Haltiwanger have many friends
in Edgefield who will be glad to
know that they are not to remove
to a greater distance.
