MORE UNWRITTEN LAW.

The Thaw case in New York and the
Strother case in Virginia are to be fol-
lowed by a trial of Judge Loving, a
former county judge living in Lynch
burg. In the Thaw case and the Low
ing case the unwritten law was ap-
piled without giving the victims any
opportunity to state their positions
whatever. Nor can it be said in either
case that the evidence they acted on
was absolutely trustworthy.
These considerations have led L. M.
Machen of the Richmond bar to propose
the writingofthe unwritten law He asks
the lawmakers of Virginia to pass a
statute to read about thus: "In all
criminal trials involving a charge of
assault and battery, assault with intent
to kill, or homicide, in which it is
proven that the person upon whom
such assault was alleged to have been
committed had been guilty of a wrong
upon the person of the wife, mother,
sister, or daughter of the accused, the
jury shall be the Judge of whether such
prONOCallOH WAS SuIIC1SuI " justify
such assault, and may, if such assault
was so justified, find a verdict of ac-
quittal."
In other words, Mr.. Machen thinks
the unwritten law should be applied
after due and actual proof, and lot as
in the Thaw or the Loving case, at the
end of a gun held by a man afflicted
with dementia Americana of one sort
or the other. Delaware, Texas and
Utah have in whole or in part adopted
the Machen plan, and some plan that
would bring the law and the practice
of iuries together would certainly have
some points in its favor.

CROP PROSPECTS In THE SOUTH

Our cotton farmers are confronted by
the reassuring statements of President
MacCalI, who, in his annual address
before the National association of cot
ton manufacturers, sitting in Boston,
declared that the demand for manufac-
tured cotton products is fully abreast
of the supply. That supply is a crop
exceeding thirteen million bales, and
the increased spindles Of the world are
kept busy in spinning and weaving
that crop, and yet no surplus OF goods
appears anywhere. AS long as the de-
mand keeps up, said President Mac
Call, a manufacturer, speaking to and
for manufacturers, there need be no
apprehension of a decline in the price
of cotton.
Our cotton farmers have seen a crop
of over thirteen million bales marketed
at about eleven cents, and they know
the demands Of a naked world are in
creasing yearly. They know, too, that
a cold, untoward April has damaged
and delayed the crop. Replanting is
difficult on account of the scarcity of
seed, and termination is checked and
injured. There are today no indica-
tions of another thirteen-million-ba
crop.
A short crop, combined with an in
creased demand for goods, or even with
a well-maintained demand, would be
apt to put all cotton farmers who do
make a crop in clover. The outlook
was never better, and our cotton farm
ers know it. When the cotton growers
of the south are prosperous everybody
else is happy and the entire south pro-
ceeds to pay off debts and to make
plans for the future.

April 80 1867.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Snipes,o of Prince
ton, were visiting Sunday at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cicero Gurley.
Rev. j. NJ. Carraway filled his regu-
lar appointments at Pine Forest and
Ebenezer last Sunday. His discourse
at Ebenezer was said to have been one
of the best sermons which this section
has heard in sometime. He is greatly
liked on this work, and we trust his
labors here may have rich reward.
The faithful few, and the few faith
full of Ebenezer, gave their pastor, Rev.
j. NJ. Carraway, a pounding last Sat
urday afternoon. There was a good!y
crowd present, but, it not being gener-
ally known, the Iarder of our good pas
tor was not as much replenished as it
would have been. However, the few
in attendance, and the things they car
ried, will help out considerably.
Our truckers began picking peas, or
pops Monday, and in a few days they
viii be in full blast, and as usual the
price will in all probability go TO moth
ing. But when a farmer plants truck,
it is just like throwing "heads and
tails and he just gets money enough
out of it to keep him in good heart, and
make him plant again. The railroads
and commission merchants get the pro-
fits.
If the miserable scoundrel or scoun-
drels, who killed and skinned four OF
our Poland China pigs one night last
week will call on us, we Will return his
cigarette package and give him a pig
hide, as a suvenir of the occasion, and
assure EN- that no questions Will be
asked. More han that, we will give a
reward of five dollars for the apprehen-
sion of the guilty parties.
Our boyhood friend Mr.. j. R. Grit
fin, and wife, were out here Sunday af-
t%ernoon, from your city, and called at
out shanty, but when they pulled the
string to raise the latch, they found a
peg over the latch, as that was meetin'
day, and the occupants OF "Oak Glen"
had gone to attend divine worship.
Come again, Bob, and phone ahead, to
see if the way is clear, and we will give
you a glad welcome.
Since the last stunt done by the
weather last Saturday it really seems
that spring is now with us, Eut like ye
editor, there is not much hopes of its
coming to stay until the spring poem,
puts forth, and permeates the air with
it's springtime fragrance. From now
on the readers of the ARGUS will have
more respect for the ground hog, and
await with more confidence the effusion
from our worthy legislator, than all the
signs in forty almanacs.
To satisfy the desires of our N
Gus posterity, and while away a few
