Won by the Change of Letter.
Thaddeus Stevens once saved a
mans life by a single letter. He was
defending a prisoner indicted for MUIR
der, and the chief witness against the
culprit testified that he had heard him
exclaim, "By heaven, have shot himw
The great Stevens insisted that may
be the prisoner had said, "My heaven,
I have shot him"
The change of the letter ''b' to an
I'M in the first word of the sentence
would make a mighty difference. since
the latter expression might be one Of
surprise or exclamation over an acct
dental shooting. The witness confess
ed that perhaps the prisoner had said
tiny instead of "by," and the jury
freed him.

The South in the Saddle.

During the Colonial period and for
some years Immediately following, the
affairs of state were administered
largely by Southern men, and it ap-
pears now that history is repeating it.
self. Although it has been very long,
a turn has at last come in the lane.
To-day Southern man occupies the
White House and half of the Cabinet
are either Southern men or were origi-
nally frorc the South. In addition to
this, the fact that the Democrats are
in the majority in the legislative branch
of the government gives Southern SEN
ators and congressman greater power as
lawmakers than they have enjoyed for q
number of years. Paraphrasing the
immortal words of Lincoln, we have q
government of Southern people, by
Southern people for the whole people. u

A Victory for Prohibition.

The passage of the Webb bill has pu
|the whiskey houses to confusion. Here
to fore the great liquor octopus has on
ly been handicapped by local legisla
ii on, which it has ruthlessy tramplec
under foot when rot held in check by
a strong public sentiment, but now
hat national Legislation is curtailing
his power new problem confronts
the wholesale liquor seller. Of course
the passage of the Webb bill is great
victory, especially so when the enor-
nous majority by which it passed over
the presidents veto is considered, but
we do not hope to see very much ac-
complished for prohibition by the meas
ure. What delights The Advertiser
most in this connection is the fact that
the national congress has begun to
con slider liquor legislation favorably.
H eretofore it has been impossible for
the prohibition forces to have meas
ure even favorably reported. Attempts
at Legislation always met defeat before
the committees of the house and
senate.
The passage of the Webb bill is only
a beginning. We next expect to see
congress prohibit the granting of Uni
ted States licenses to sell LIQUOR in dry
territory. After. this step has been
taken, crystalized public sentiment
will assert or manifest itself through
the passage of some law that will 60 a
step farther. Nothing rash or radical
should be done. Let each step be sus-
tained or "backed up' by a whole
some public sentiment and then there
will be steady advance instead of re-
trograding.

Court of Common Pleas.

The civil conrt convened Mon
day morning, being presided over
by Judge 1. w. Bowman, of Or
angeburg.
The case set for the first day was
called but resulted in a non-suit. 1t
was an action brought by the Cen
tral National Bank of Kansas City,
Mo-, against Messrs. Garrett, ldar-
kert and others to collect note of
something over $4,000 that was
given for the purchase of a French
Coach stallion. The plaintiff was
represented by Folk & Simkins and
the defendants by Thurmond &
Nicholson.
The court was engaged yesterday
with suit by w L Sanders, of
Spartanburg against the Charleston
g. Western Carolina railroad to re-
cover damages in the sum of Sl0,-
600 for injuries alleged to have
been received while in the employ.
ment of the defendant company.
Mr.. Sanders was member of the
construction force which was a,
work on the road at some place in
Barnwell county and while lying
on bed in his car a freight train
was backed againstthe carr, ,esulting
in the injury alleged in the com
plant.
The railway company was rep
resented by Sheppard Bros and the
plaintiff by Thurmond d Nichol
son and Capt. N. G. Evans.
After being out about an hour
the jury rendered a verdict of $3.50
for the plaintiff.
The case of Owens vs.. the West.

Make Your Own Ammonia.

The most expensive element of plant
food that farmers have to buy is ammo
MIA. The price Of commercial fertiliz-
ers advance in proportion as the guam
tity of ammonia contained therein is in
creased. In this section farmers who
do not use high grade ready-mixed fer
tilizers purchase their ammonia in either
cotton seed meal or nitrate of soda,
and for that reason they are greatly
concerned over the very decided ad-
vance in both meal and soda.
If large yields are to be harvested,
heavy application of ammoniais need
ed because of the impoverished condi-
tion of our soils. This is particularly
true of land which has not been rota-
ted The absence of humus or vegeta-
BILE matter makes the application OF
fertilizers containing ammonia necessa-
ry. If crops are rotated and cover
crops are used vegetable matter can
be gradually restored and then the
purchasing of large quantities of am,
monia willnot be necessary. The sharp
advance in meal and nitrate of soda,
being now around $50 and $50 per ton
respectively, will force farmers to
make their ammonia at home by SOW
ing peas in the summer and vetch anc
the clovers in winter. Just as high
priced western corn causes farmers tt
make more corn at home, so will the
high price of ammonia force them tc
look to other sources than commercial
fertilizers for their ammonia.
There is nothing yet that equals
barnyard fertilizers for both feeding
the growing crop and increasing the
fertility of the soil. And while these
homemade fertilizer factories have
been in a measure closed down fol
some years it is probable that the pres
ent price of commercial fertilizers viii
cause them to resume operation. What
The Advertiser urges is that as far as
possible make the ammonia on the
farm. It can be done. There is nc
better soil restorer than the clay pee
and there is no more satisfactory fer
tilizer than barnyard fertilizer. Il
msy prove to be a blessing in disguiss
if nitrate of soda should advance 10t
per cent in price.

Minister to Cuba.

Monday the name of Capt. VIM. E.
Gonzales, the editor of The State, was
presented to President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan for appoint
ment as minister to Cuba, and it is al
together probable that the appointment
will be made. Both President Wilson
and Mr.. Bryan have personal knowl-
edge of the splendid service that Capt.
Gonzales has rendered to the Democrat
ic party for the past twelve years and
longer. No name has been presented
to the president that is more deserving
of recognition and honor at the hands
of the administration than is this dis
tinguished South Carolinian. Nothing
need be said of his fitness for the po-
sition. Capt. Gonzales is abundantly
able to represent the United States at
the court of any nation.

Month of Fires.

March is regarded as the most fruit
full month of the entire u for fires.
In fact statistics show that fire losses
are heavier throughout the country
during March than during any other
time of the year.. This is doubtless
due primarily. to: the prevailing high
winds of March. Not only is fire more
likely to break out IN March, bat once
star ted greater.damage is wroug ght, as
it is practically impossible to extin'
guish flames during a high wind un'
less modern fire fighting machinery is
at hand.
In the absence OF. water system,
fire fighting machinery or even an or
ganized body of men, it ,behooves the
people of. Edgefeld to be all the more
careful with fire while March winds
blow. Keep the ash-box out in the
y ard away from any building, and be,
fvre retiring at night see that the
buckets about the house contain wa,
ter, so they can be used if you are
awakened by the cracking of fire during
the night.
During the month of February, ac-
cording to statistics just issued by In
surance Commissioners McMaster, the
los ses by fire in South Carolina aggre-
gated the sum of. $l77,0O0 Of this
amount but little more than $40 is
credited to Edgefeld.. Let's keep up
the good record for March by using
every precaution possible. Of course,
fires occasionally occur when nobody is
to blame; butin the vast majority OF
cases losses by fire could be averted by
a little forethought and precaution.

An Inexcusable Laxness.

The people are complaining, and just
ly so, because of laxness that exists
in connection with the administration
of justice IN Edgefeld county. TIE
manner in which the courts are con-
Quoted, in other words, the handling of
cases after warrants have been issued,
increases the burden of the taxpayers
besides having tendency to encour-
age lawlessness.
The editor of The Advertiser has
been informed by Supervisor A. A.
Edmunds that there is negro in jail
who was placed there last August on
account of his failure to give oond as a
material witness in homicide case.
The case was continued from the Oc-
tober term of court and the negro, who
is only a witness and not part;ceps
criminis, was still kept in Jail. The
case was continued again last week
from the March term of court and the
negro is yet in jail. Granting that the
case will be disposed of next August,
which is doubtful if we are to judge the
future by the past, the negro although
accused of no crime will have been i'm
prisoned practically year before be-
ing given an opportunity to testify.
In the first place, common justice de-
mands that the negro be given his lib
erty instead Of being imprisoned for
year. 1t was his misfortune that he
was unable to give bond last August
and it was then proper to place him
in Jail for reasonable time. But af-
ter two terms of court come and go, is
it right to thus deprive an innocent
man of his liberty? The sense Of JUS
tice that is implanted in every human
breast answers this question emphati-
ly in the negative We do not know
anything about the case with which the
negro is connected as witness but we
say let it be brought to trial or thrown
out of court and the negro discharged.
Aside from the view point of right
and wrong, there is financial aspect
to the question that must not be over
looked. Up to this time, in board and
per diem as witness, keeping the ne
gro in Jail has cost the county SITS.
That is not the worst of it. If the ne
gro is held until the August term of
court, the total cost to the county will
be S3l4.
This money will come out of
the pockets of the taxpayers without
one cent IN return. 1t is worse than
no return. Such laXness in admins
tering justice tends to encourage law
essness. Speedy trials and vigorous
have deterrent effect
upon the would-be criminal, while, per
contra, laxness and continuance after
together with long-drawn-
out trials, make the committing of
crime easy.
Should the prosecuting attorney be
lacking in diligence, become careless
in conducting cases that are sent up to
him, then the grand jury and presiding
Judge sb' u.d look more closely into mat
ters an. know the reason why the dock
ct is not cleared, why cases are not
brought to trial more promptly.
The keeping of a witness in Jail
year, as is probable in
the case above cited, costing the tax
payers more than $500 in cold cash, is
a matter that should receive the i'm
mediate attention of the grand jury.
