Lectured the Jury.

Here is the way St. Louis jury was
recently lectured by the presiding Judge
and assistant circuit attorney after they
had acquitted pretty woman of the
charge Of larceny:
"Gentlemen ofthe jury, it is pity that
a sickening Irritation between jurors and
the defendant in criminal case has the
power in this court to defeat the ends Of
justice"
This was part of q severe lecture Civ
en- by Judge Taylor to the jury which
had just acquitted Maud Williams. a
pretty brunette, of the charge of robbing
Aldon Mather, caller, of $400.
Judge Taylor said he was disgusted
with such action by men sworn to give
a fair and impartial verdict based upon
the law and evidence. He dismissed the
jurors and expressed the hope that none
of them would ever again be on case in
his court.
Assistant Circuit Attorney G.. Orrick
Bishop said: "Gentlemen thank you fol
your verdict in the name of all that is law
lawless and shameless. I thank you fol
the discriminating taste you have shown,
for the high order of citizenship you have
displayed in being Influenced in your yer.
dict by pretty woman's winks and a
glimpse at a bit Of open-work stockings.
You are credit to your class"

Big Fire at St. George.

ST.. GEORGE, June 16.-Fire destroyed
large part of the business portion of
this town, between 10 and 10 this morning,
near the Southern Railroad. It was the
most disastrous fire ever known here and
originated in the rear of the store occupied
by Mr.. Robert Baker. 1t soon spread to
the stores of Mrs. A. Y. Breaker and Mr..
Charlie Breaker, then to the beef market
occupied by Messrs Stokes s. Stokes
and the tailoring establishment of J. NJ.
Stokes. These buildings were soon burned
to the ground and at one time it was
thought that the entire block would 60.
Only heroic work saved the stores of
Messrs. T. L. Lott and D. F. Dukes.
Before the crowd dispersed from this
place it was learned that the house oc-
cupied by Mr.. Fitz Parler, two blocks
away, was on fire and before help could
be obtained his residence was too far
gone to be saved.
It was a day of misfortunes and the
losses will reach high figures. There
was some insurance on some of the
stocks of merchandise and on the resi-
dence owned by Mr.. ]. 81. Abbey, but
the stores, which were owned by Dir.
II. n. Harper, were all uninsured.
The telephone company suffered con-
siderable loss. Its wire and poles were
burned, cutting off all connection with
some subscribers.

Death Of Mrs. Spann.

It is with sorrow that We chronicle the
death of Mrs. Jane A. Spann, wife of
Mr.. P. C. Spann. For three weeks she
had been in a very critical condition, (be-
ing taken with a stroke of paralysis or
apoplexy) at times thought to be near the
end, then again rallying.
On last Thursday she was so much bet
ter that hope was entertained of her get
ting up again. But early that night an
other stroke rendered her unconscious,
and proved to be the last and fatal one.
All that medical skill and loving faithful
ness of the family and friends could do,
was done, but to no avail The time of
her departure was at hand, and on Sun
day morning at 10 o'clock her stay and
service on earth closed and her spirit
went up to Heaven.
Mrs. Spann, before her marriage, was
Miss Steadman, sister of Colonel Stead
man, of Lexington county, a family Of
prominence and great sterling worth.
She married Mr.. P. C. Spann, a son of
Rev. Henry Spann, an influential minister
of the Methodist church in its earlier his
tory. They lived in Lexington county,
near Leesville, 8. c., all their married life
until few years ago, when they moved
to the town of Bamberg, where several of
their children had married and settled
She was the mother of nine children, all
living. Four Of them live in Bamberg
four in Florida, and one in Chester, wife
of Rev. G.. P. Watson, of the South Caro-.
lima conference. She was sixty-six years
old.
In early life she Joined the Methodist
church, and was faithful therein until bel
death. Her character before and infu
ence upon her children was such as turn
ed their thoughts toward Christ and the
church, and she had the pleasure of know
ing they all were members of the church
in which she was an earnest worker dur
ing life. As wife she was indeed help'
meet for her husband; as mother, de-
voted, true and loving; andsas neighbor
kind-hearted and helpful. In all these
relations her departure is great Joss.
On Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, in
the new cemetery, her body was laid to
rest, the burial services being conducted
by her pastor, Rev. NJ. W. Hook, in the
presence of a very large number OF
friends. The pall-bearers were: Jno. q.
Cope, E. G. Bruce, W. NJ. Brabham, c. R.
Brabham, DR.. F. F. Johnson and. D. j.
Delk.
We extend sympathy to husband and
children in this hour Of grief and sorrow,
and pray God, the Father, to comfort
them as he alone can comfort in such
trying experiences.

White Man Kills Negro.

MANNING, June 16.-Forest L. Collins,
the engineer on the Alcolu road who
killed a negro by the name of Lawrence
Thompson few days ago, has been
brought to Manning and placed in Jail
here.
The shooting occurred just across the.
line in Sumter county, in the Shiloh sec
ton, and Collins went and surrendered
to Sheriff Scarborough, of Sumter. Col
lins was in charge of a squad of hands
working in the woods near the end of
the railroad and there had been some
former trouble between him and the
negro, but reports as to just how the
shooting occurred are very conflicting.
The negro was brought to Alcolu in
this county, where he died, and the
coroner of Clarendon county held the.
inquest.
Under such circumstances Collins
can be tried in either Clarendon or.
Sumter counties, but it is understood
that he will be tried here, as the in
dictment originated here with the finding
Of the coroner's jury. #
Court convenes on July 4th and it is
likely that this and the Youmans case
will consume most Of the time Of the
court.

TRIUMPHS OF MODERN SURGERY.
Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are taken
out and scraped and put back, or may be
removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, which causes
them to heal without maturation and in
one-third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this, same principle. It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal quickly. 1t allays the pain
and soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save time and
money, not to mention the Inconvenience
and suffering such injuries entail. For
