county in the circuit. That in his ca
pacity as foreman Of the grand jury.
deponent wrote Governor Cooper to
theenect that he thought it would be
best, not to bring the defendants back
TO Abbeville county for trial.
Reasons for Change.
Reasons set forth by counsel for the
defense for the proposed change Of
renue are:
Il. The aroused public sentiment
z against the defendants, which is SO
prejudiced that a fair and impartial
trial can not be had
~ 3 The inf1amed public mind induc-
ed the county sheriff to join in the
petition for military protection which
fact would render it difficult for the
jury to give fair consideration to the
defense OF the young men.
A fair and impartial trial Is not
easily had if the lives Of the young
men were not safe in the Jail Of the
county in which the crime was COM
n1itted.
4. The prosecution comes from
prominent families. while the defend
ants are strangers and without lnflu-
ence or friends in Abbeville.
5. That no local attorney would ap-
pear in behalf Of the defense while
one Of the leading attorneys Of the
Abbeyille bar assists in the prosecu-
ton
The impression prevails here that
no trouble will be encountered when
the prisoners are brought here. II
judge Sease should deny the motion
for a change in venue. While the
community was naturally much eNclt-
cd soon after the alleged crime was
committed, passions have died down
appreciabIy, and since the case IS IN
the court. no one here anticipates any
such action as mob violence. Too, the
prosecution comes from prominent
people, and from families least DIS
posed to resort to mob violence.

How Pebbles Travel.

The pebbles on the beach, in their
relations with the sea, afford endless
subjects of observation and interest
saws Hallam Hawksworth, writing in
St Nicholas. BY what simple magic
the waves breaking on the beach
transform them from dull stones to
snarkling gems! CAS- pretty as wet
pebble" says Victor Hugo of girl
of sixteen. But it is not only for
fine complexion hat the little pebble
is Indebted to the sea. He is also a
great ocean traveller. Even on the
calmest day the pebbles travel a little
distance every time a wave strikes
them. Take out your watch ana
time these pulsations, and you VIII
find that the beats occur about SIX
times a minute. The distance travelled
by a pebble, back and forth. as tne
result of one wave stroke, Professor
SbaIer of Harvard placed at an aver.
age of ten feet-taking all kinds OF
summer weather together; sixty feet
every minute. Multiply this by sixty,
and then by twenty-four, and what is
the aggregate of the daily prone
nades of one of these little fellow
summer idlers of ours? over nfteen
miles!
