\ Quiet Day at FoDlston-The Day
Taken up in Securing a Jury.

waycross. Ga. Oct. 27.-The second
dav of the trial OF Hillary and Charles
Altman at Folkston. charged with the
murder of Jackson Duncan has been
completed and as yet none OF the wit
nesses IN the case have been heard.
The entire day was taken up in en-
paneling a jury and when Judge Par
ker called a recess late this afternoon
the required twelve jurors had not
been secured. Long before noon today
eleven Jurors had been accepted and
the balance of the day was consumed
IN the unsuccessful attempt to secure
the twelfth man. Bailiffs have been
sent out in all directions from Folkston
and during the afternoon several
patches Of men were brought in. 1t is
claimed that every competent man for
a distance OF four miles from Folkston
has been summoned and for one reason
or another has been excused from the
case. The bailiffs are out tonight
securing the country under Judge Par
ker's order to have twenty-four tales
men by morning.
Another quiet day has been passed
at Folkston. Five negro witnesses in
charge OF three deputies were again
brought to Waycross tonight. The
Duncans also left Folkston on the AZ
ternoon train. 1t is believed now that
the trial will occupy the whole of To-
morrow and Saturday. as the argu-
ment viii be quite lengthy after the
examination Of witnesses is completed.

A Wonderful Tribute to a Negro.

Charleston News and Courier.
We ave seen nothing in any Of our
negro-loving northern contemporaries
TO match the very remarkable incident
that occurred at Lancaster, South Car
DINA, yesterday. When the court on
vened there yesterday morning Mr.. r.
h. Allison, the oldest member of the
Lancaster bar. announced the death of
Bishop Isham Clinton of the African
Methodist church and moved that the
court adjourn in respect to his memory
until Monday next. The motion was
seconded by Major Wylie, of the Ian
caster bar and by Solicitor Henry. The
speakers all paid proper tribute to the
lamented dead, and Judge Watts
granted the motion INT ordered the
adjournment of the court. expressing
his high appreciation Of the character
and services Of the bishop to his peo-
pie n the cause of religion.
Bishop Clinton was a negro and had
been exercising the office of the min
istry for more than fifty years. He was
a slave in his early life and lived at
peace with his white neighbors all his
life. They knew him and he knew
them and between them existed the
kindliest relations. So deeply had he
impressed them with the e~arnestness
of his religion and the good quality Of
his citizenship that when he died they
all sorrowed hat he had passed away.
The action of the court in Lancaster
yesterday was a notable tribute to the
dead bishop. The lawyer on whose
motion the court adjourned, and the
lawyers who seconded the motion and
the judge who granted the motion are
all native South Carolinians. and thor
ough going Democrats, and in their
desire to honor the memory of a ne
gro bishop they spake as they we're
moved by the natural promptings of
their hearts They were not hunting
for the negro vote or trying to cor
ner the delegates to a nominating con-
vention.
