NEW COURT HOUSE TALK.
Action In Favor Of Finishing the
Building as Originally Planned
Taken By the Board Of Commis-
n1issionerS.

At the meeting Of the County
Board Of Commissioners Saturday the
deferred question Of using stone ana
terra Gotta for cornice and parapet
on the new Court House was taken
ND for discussion with Architect Ed
wards and Contractor DeLeon. 1t
will be recollected that the plans and
specifcations, as originally drawn
called for stone and terra Gotta as
the material to be used in the cornlce
and parapet, but when the contract
was let, it was decided as matter
OF economy to substitute metal cor
nices and a plain brick parapet. Ine
reservation was made, and written III
the contract, that the county board
should have the right to change the
contract and have the building I'm
lished in accordance with the plans on
payment of the difference in cost be-
tween the metal cornice and the stone.
The supervisor and commissioners
desire to have the building finished
in accordance with the plans, but DO
NOT feel that they have the authority
TO contract for work in excess Of the
sum provided by the act passed at
the last session of the legislature. 1t
was therefore, decided by the Board to
recommend that the building be fin
ished as the plans provide, on the
condition that the legislative delega-
tion endorse their action and will see
that the expenditure for this purpose
be validated.

Must Live at Home.

Tn 2. recent bulletin of the expert
ment station Of Clemson College q
practical plea is made for a wide ex-
tension Of agricultural industries in
the State. This plea is based upon the
results obtained with forage crops
crown at the coast experiment sta
ton. It is urged that some forage
cron should be grown on every farm
and good list to choose from is
given. including alfalfa, beggar-weed,
the velvet bean, cat-tail millet, teo-
sinte. kaffir corn, sorghum, COW peas,
crimson clover, hairy vetch, oats, rye
barley, Canada field peas, rescue
grass, Texas blue grass and wheat.
The bulletin adds:
sThere is no good reason why
South Carolina should not grow every
found Of hay that is needed for feed
ing farm stock, nor is there any rea-
son why butter, cheese and =. meats
should not be produced. In this
latitude the winters are very short,
and it does seem, from the many
winter crops that are adapted to the
soil. that farmers could, with almost
M expense, grow enough green food
to feed their stock through the win
ter months
"rhe city cf Charleston alone con-
sumes s10,6S0 worth of hay per
month. This is hay shipped from the
North, East and West and why send
to other parts Of the United States
for hay when the soil in this State
will produce hay superior to that
which is shipped here from other
States?"
South Carolina farmers have no
definite conception Of the vast pos
sibilities that their soil opens up to
them. The facts set forth in the
above cannot be controverted, and
they should open the eyes Of every
intelligent planter in the State to a
realization Of his unsurpassed oppor-
trnities and imitless advantages.
South Carolina farmers will not be-
come Independent until they find out
from practical experience that they
can live at home and grow at home
everything that is necessary for their
maintenance. They must not only
produce at home much Of what they
eat, but they must also feed their
stock on home grown corn and
ha,y and other crops. They must
stop sending their money away from
home for farm products that can be
grown on their own fields.-Green-

( LETS HAVE SEWERAGE.

The time is at hand when actlve
steps should be taken to begin the
construction OF a sewerage system IN
Hhis city. The necessity is admitted
by all intelligent citizens, and we are
confident that ninety per cent OF the
eaxpayers favor the beginning of Work
at the earliest practicable date. WORK
has been proposed and delayed here
sofore on account Of the lack Of funds
TO pay for the system, but that oo-
stacIe no longer exists. 1t is stated on
the best authority that with ordinarily
ors,s7ent naanagement Of the finances
OF the city, there will be on hand at
the expiration Of the current fiscal
wear on March 31st, about $4,000 to
Che credit Of the city. To supple
gnent this the city can be bonded Tor
$4,000 on the basis OF
nresent taxable valuation Of property,
and if this should not pay the total
cost of the sewerage system, then the
balance can be paid out Of the cur
rent income Of next year and the year
after.
There IS no need to enter into an

Unsatisfactory Verdict.


A reading Of Judge. Hydrick's S

and George Spivcns. convicted Of the
murder of J. z. Ga;lla-d, does not :ln-

witnesses aao hearing the testimony,
rendered verdict which does not do
Sumter County credit. J. E. Gail
lard was the victim of an uT1provoked
murder, no excuse whatever was
shown at the trial for taking his life,
that his killing was the result Of a
devilish spirit of wantoness there is no
doubt, then his alleged slayers were
either guilty of murder, or innocent,
no room for extenuating circum-
stances upon which to base a recon-
mendation for mercy, one or both Of

but the fact Of an intelligent jury, the
foreman a man of prominence, re-
turning a compromise verdict, leaves
room to suppose the jury were not al
together satisfied with the proof that
the parties on trial were the men
guilty of the crime-there was doubt,
and it must have been strong doubt,
or, under the circumstances the jury
would not have spared the death pen
atty. That such doubt existed is
affirmed in Judge Hydrick's remarks
in refusing to grant a new trial. He
intimated testimony was suppressed
because of fear, and that the whole
facts had not been brought out, and
vet, from his own remarks witnesses
may not have been intimidated and
the verdict was a compromise to ap-
pease public sentiment. He, after
virtually intimating that the prison
ers had not had a fair and impartial
trial. would not rise above the public
sentiment and give the prisoners ali
other chance.
