The History of Sheep.
November Outing.

November Outing.
Of all the domestic animals the
sheep has from time immemorlal,
been most closely associated with
mankind, An erudite author sixty
years ago having laboriously COL
lated an assortment of illusions to
sheep made by sacred and profane
writer's. concluded that "the history
of these animals is so interviewer
with the history of man that they
never existed in a wild state at all.
Biblical history from the time of Abel
is full of illusions to the hocks which
formed the chief possessions OF the
Jewish people and their neighbors.
The spoils of war and the tribute
Of vassal kings largely consisted OF
sheep. Thus we read that Mesha,
king of Moab, was a sheep master,
and rendered unto the king Of Israel
an hundred thousand rams with the
wool. Moses after his victory ovel
the Midianites obtained as loot no
less than $4,000 sheep, and long be-
fore the Christian era sheep were cul-
tivated in Western Europe. Spain
and Italy possessed them from an I'm
known period, although the inhabi-
tants had not learned to sheer the
fleece; and, until the time of Pliny,
the practice of plucking it from the
skin was not wholly abandoned, so
long had the humble shepherds of
Syria preceded in their knowledge OF
necessary arts, the future conquerors
of their country.

Some Ancient History.

Governor Heyward's action yes
terday in granting respite to Aaron
Williams was based Upon the con-
struction of law as given by the SUI
preme court of South Carolina in the
case Of Jeff David. This is one of
the most celebrated cases in history,
and although it occurred nearly 80
years ago the facts are familiar to
many people. /
1t was in this case that the princi-
pie of "after discovered evidence"
was established, and the convicted
person, no matter how long after the
crime, has the right to demand a new
trial upon "after discovered evi-
dence." Not cumulative" evidence,
not evidence which was neglected at
trial, but evidence which was not
available after due diligence had been
exercised by the accused and his legal
representative. Ex-Judge w. C..
Benet, now of this city, represented
Jeff David, who for three years lived
in the shadow of the gallows, who
eight times was respited, once while
the moose was around his neck and
whose case was passed upon by four
governors, the supreme court, four
circuit judges, and who was prose-
cuted vigorously by two solicitors
with press and public clamoring for
his execution.

Election Controversy.

Greenvil1e, Nov. 5.-A bomb was
thrown into the camp of Walker sup
porters in the supervisor contest this
afternoon when it was made known
that a telegram had been received
from Senator Tillman declaring it to
be the duty of democrats to support
Speegle. The message came from
Corydon, Indiana, and was addressed
to Messrs. c. L. Verdin, w. H. Whit
mire, w. E. Wright, E. P. Burbage,
w. J. Bramlet and read as follows:
"Your telegram received. The ac-
ton of the committee, right or wrong,
is final and all democrats must bow
to its decision. If I lived in Green
vile l should vote for Speegle. AS
fraud was charged and shown on both
sides the committee should have Or
dered another primary.
"Walker should vote the ticket and
urge his friends to do so and appeal
to the people hereafter to right his
grievances.
The democratic primary should be
above suspicion, or the negro will
come back into Our politics, some
thing we cannot afford.

from the receiving telegraph opera
tor made before notary to prove its
authenticity.
It is believed the message will have
some conciliatory effect in the coun-
trv neighborhoods, where is fact the
fight has been the strongest against
Speegle. In the city surprise is ex-
pressed that the senator should take
a hand in what appears to me purely
d local factional fight.
