•Tarrant and credit. Also, $18,591 inter

Tho other items were found for tbe de
fendant along with $24,780 ot interest
charged against him, but allowed by the
ary at offset to the abtvo amounts, it be-
ng theintereKt piidby Jones on the
“Clows bonds.”
THE BIO HIND ITEM
of $149,250, it wni oe seen, was found in
favor ot the defendant. Exaolly up n
what grounds it was so found can not now
bs ascertained, on: tbe likelihood is tba<
tbe jury were unable, from the evidence,
to find that Jones had been gnilty o'
fraud, negligeuas or oartlessuess, in pay
ing Fees* bond*. Tbe auditor baa oh.rgtd
them to hi* account upon the idea of care
lessness and negligence, bolding that he
had enffloient notice to pat him on *tmd
against these bond*. The jury either
moaght differently or adopted tho nr«u-
mtnt of Senator Hill that Clew- never
bad really paid thorn acd the.Jane* pay
ment was tho only and real payment, and
fonnd Jones vras not chargeable. This
was tbe most hotly contested, as it was
the largs.-t item in the bill of charges.
A DOUBLE CLEARANCE.
With reter-race to tue item of $21,500
it may be sa d that this was the real ngly
feature of the ootire proceedings. The
circumstances sarrounding this package
ot bonds all through the history of the
case were of arayire to ixci-e lively in
terest in the verdict of the jury as to it
It was to Alton Angiet’* connection with
the package that trie defease directed
their unroofing efforts, which caused him
on the stand to decUre 1>U belief that an
attemot wa3 aimed at bis character, and
which caused his foil and frank avowal
of where and bow he had made his
money.
The auditor reported this item against
Jones on tne ground of negligence and
carelesEness in making up his vouchers,
and it is probsble that the jury took this
view in confirming the charge, or count
ed it noon tbe idea that the bonds were
subsequently abstracted by unknown
bands, presented to end paid by JoaeB,
when be ought to have known that they
had been paid before.
The verdict, therefore really lifts from
both these gentlemen any suspicion of
fraud or criminality in the transactions
in whioh these bonds figure.
It is said that Messrs. Grant & Nntting
will appeal for a. sew trial on the gr uud
that the Judge ruled ont “parol evidence
of the allegation in their plea .that
they signed the bond, . believing it
to be only a temporary instru
ment.’’ Soma say. the State will ap
peal in tbe hop9 of securing a still larger
verdict. In any event, the case is des
tined to drag its slow length along
through many months, and perhaps years.

fiom his home folly ten days ago. This
turned out to be true, for snob is tbe faot
■s developed yesterday by tbe coroner's
inquest.
Miss Pauline Bleyer testified that ehe
reoognized tbe boy to be her brother by
his clothes. He had threatened to drown
himself. About eight o’clock at sight he
took off bis ooat and shoes and left them
in the bouse. He went off then and she
had not seen him since until now. She
said that her brother had been whipped
in the factory; that he had worked in tbtf
spinning room of No. 2 of the Eagle
factory; that he had been whipped with
a strap, and that one day he had been
bang op by cotton bands for ten minuter;
that Mr. James Benfroe, the superinten
dent of tbe room, had hung him up first,
aud that afterwards Maren Hendrix had
done eo and whipped him.
The general conclusion is that tbe poor
lad in the intensity of hie mortification
oommi^ed suicide by drownjqg.

Interesting Leg*l Decision.—V*1
dosta Times: beginning of the tri
al of' the Howell case laat Wednesday
morning. Judge Hansell made a rating
which .rill be of interest to the pablic
generally and to the press, touching the
iucompetenoy of jurors. After the usual
course of questions bad been asked a
juror. Captain Turner, counsel for de
fendants, aeked him it ho had read the
evidence before the coronet’s inquest as
published m tho Times. The juror
answered that ho had. He wan than
asked if from reading that evidence
he had “formed and «xpressed an opin
ion an to the gni’.t or innocence of the
prisoner at the bar.” Counsel for tho
prosecution objected to the question and
stated that the juror had already sworn
that he had not formed and expressed an
opinion from having heard the evidence
submitted aider oath—that the law re
lated eolely to having heard the evidence.
A lengthy debate ensued as to the mean-
rag of tbe statute ia question, and the
Judge dscidtd that the «pirit of tbo law
extended io those having formed and ex
pressed an opinion from having read the
evidence as well as having heard it. His
Honor slated that it was a -ques
tion which had never come up
before, but in these days
»f newspaper progress it
would bave to bo decided, aud he gave
it trie meaning above indicated. This
new ruling threw out many, and conse
quently did a good deal to prolong tbe
eearoh after competent jutore-—as a great
many had read tbe evidence and formed
and expressed some kind or shade of &n
opinion.
If this ruling bolds good, the Legisla
ture will have to prohibit ibe publication
of each testimony, or el?e, in many cases,
it will prove a serious obstacle in the way
of procuring intelligent juries, for well
informed mnn will read tbe newspapers.

The Maine Liquor Law.
GOYE&.NOa GAECBLON’8 opinion con-
CEENING ITS OPEBATIOJf.
When the present Governor of Maine
was in Atlanta, a few days sines ho was
interviewed by some of the apostles of
temperance who ere in favor of going all
lengtbB to whip King Alcohol, and
asked whether the prohibitory Maine
liquor law was a success or not. This
law has been in operation thirty years
and wa3 tbe handiwork of the famous
Neal Dow. The results of the Governor’s
revelation?, which are far from favorable,
have been published in tbe Constitution.
He sayt:
“I am not certain that its operations
have been beneficial. There are to many
ways of evading it that it is impossible
to enforce it. One of the most certain
ways is the organization of'elubs.’asthey
are called. A barrel of liquor kept at
a certain place, is free to all ‘members of
ths club ’ Tney of coarse pay their
share of the expense, and they go and
drink when they pl-a<e. Then again,
we find tbat there are a great many se
cret bar-rooms hidden away in the vaga
bond quarter* of tbe city, usually in cel
lar*, back rosins, etc. There bar-rooms,
by reason of their secrecy acd the des-
perateuess attending tbo keeping of them,
are much worse than ordinary bar-room?,
and are patronized by a lower class.
They are the most vicious holes that can
be imagined. Some of them, it Is feared,
will breed moire mischief than a dozen
ordinary saloons- ’
These vile sinks eoonnt be eradicated
because the police are “opsu to bribsa”
and in sympathy with the common peo
ple who patrenizs them. “It thus hap
pens,” says ths Governor, “that we have
a great many of these throughout onr
cutes and towns and even in the coun
try.”
Question—“But where there are hon
est officials do not the laws prove opera
tive snd efficient F”
“Not always—and indeed not generally
—you see it is very hard to enforce 'the
law. It 2b hard to determine just where
a man’s constitutional righ’s .end, and
where the power of an- espionage con
stabulary begins. The extant, for in
stance, to which a detective has the
right to enter a man’s house and search
it, or to disturb his freight in the search
for whisky or winos. Points are being
continually made on this, and gradually
there is a feeling being built up again3
the law. Tha American people do not
relish the visits of the searen officer, who
comes into their houses aud searches un
der their beds and in their closets, dis
turbing tbeir wives and obildren, eta.
Such things are against their traditions
aud their ideas of free government.”
Under the Maine law every officsr is
allowed a fee for each sabpossa he issues,
and the result is that a multitude of these
papers are constantly served upon inno
cent parties who know nothing ounce ru
ing the alleged offense. Bat tbe officials
get their fees all the same. Ths Governor
also gave some interesting faots concern
ing the enbstitntsB for strong drink,
whioh are peddlbd all over the State. He
says: A man will ooms into your store
and will ask you for tbe loan of a pitcher
and some fresh water. He will then take
a Utttle powder and sprinkle in a tumbler
of water, and ask yon to drink it, and tell
him what it is. You reply that it tastes
like peach brandy. And so ho goes
through the wholo list. The various
preparations are wonderfully alike
tbe liquor a they intend to represent.
The fact tbat tho prohibition Iswb make
it impossible to get the real staff, renders
it profitable to tbe quacks to deal in these
nostrums, and they demand big prices
for them. They will make a man drank
quite as qniokly as liquor itself, and have
tbe additional eff-ct of stupefying him
to a degree tbat liquor cannot reach. I.
have recounted only a few of the meth
ods by which those who really deeiro to
drink can evade the law and do evade it.
Tbo variety and ingenuity of their de
vices would astound you, if I had tbe
time to gs over them It ia enough to
say tbat they do succeed iu getting
around tho law. .
When wa reflect how muoh deadly poi-
ton in tho abapo of opium, strjoboine,
etc., is thus retailed all over Maine, it
is wonderf al thst this prohibitory law has
been allowed to stand.
When asked if the Iong-ooniinucmoo of
tha law had wrought any perceptible
revolution in tbo drinking propensities of
the people, tbo Governor replied :
The present gecorBtion is, I think,
more dissipated than we youngsters were
who were raised without any liqnor law.
I used to carry barrels of liquor to my
atber’s fields, at haying-'ime, for the
hands, and they oil had their three dram*
a day. I did not see then any mote
drunkenness, if indeed as much ns I see
now. I have heard men, who have been
to Boston and Chicago, come home and
say that they did not soo the eamo pro
portion of drnnkenneBS outside Mainb
that they saw inside the State. I tbluk
tbat it has been proved tbat it is im-
possible for any law to be enaoied tbut
will pat down liquor driubiog.
Governor Garculon concluded by say
ing that all his sympathies were on tho
eide of temperance, but he could not see
that tho present law had done anything
to check the vice of drnnkardness.
* • * A short time ago a socioty of
reformed-drunkards was founded in one
of onr cities. There were very near tjvo
hundred member?. Where they came
from I cannot tell. But they bad all be
came drunkards under the Maine liquor
law. So that wo hare use for temperance
lodges in Maine just aa much as else-
where.
It is tbo old, old story. Persecution
always acts m a contrary way, and tends
to inoreaeo tbo prevalence even of an ad
mitted error. An open Bible, precept
and example, and the preached word are
the best and only trne means to arrest
immorality and inculcate virtue.
De&tEi of a JECipe Scholar and
S a van—Dr. W. T. Feay.
The Savannah News reports tho death
m the hospital, ot which he bad been an
inmate for two years, of Dr* Wm. T.
Feay,. a native of Blaok Swamp, S. 0.,
and a most polished and thorough scholar.
The deceased, forty-three years ago, was
theprinoipal of old Banbury Academy,
once a famous institution in tbe days of
Dr. McWhir, Prof. Shannon, Bev. A T.
Holmes and Bev. S. G. Hillyer, D.D.
He was among the fits! instructors of
ths writer, who loved him tenderly
and well. Tbe' Doctor was the trneBt
typo ot the anoient, unsophisticated D>
minis that we ever knew. Simple hearted,
kind, even affectionate to his pupils, he
was literally a votary to science. Almost
everything we ever learned of grammar,
wa3 from the map like edition of Green,
leaf, which, together with Day’s algebra,
be literally drilled into you nolens volens
There was no resisting suoh enthnslastio
illustrations, and he was a dullard indeed,
even if be never conned hia text books
who oonld not learn under Dr. Feay.
So absorbed wonld be become in some of
bis favorite studies as almost to forget
the flight of time. Aa a consequence, the
primary eoholars were liebls to be neg
lected, bnt not intentionally.
Aside from snnff, which he took by
handfolls, strange to Bay almost the only
indnlgence of this devotee to books was
gunning on Saturdays. Occasionally,
however, he oonld be eeduoed into qnaff*
lag tbe deoeitfol contents ot tbe wine
cap. Nothing delighted him more than
field sportB, and many a snipe and par
tridge hunt have we taken together, al
beit lha writer, a mere stripling, ao*
eompanied bun only aa a companion.
It was veryjseldom that Mr. Fray ever
resorted to the ferule, but he did some
times in extreme easeB. On such occa
sions it was tafe habit to send the delin
quents ont to cut their own switches.
This reminds us of a scrape tbat the wri
ter and his lamented friend- the iste
James Seymour once got into. It was a
pure piece of mischief, but had to-be
atoned for. According to custom, we
were sent to procare the rods for oar own
flagellation. Poor James cat • most for
midable peaoh switch, whioh he then pro
ceeded to ring around with his knife, to
as to make it not so very terrible after all.
His compwion selected a tough oak
twig, bnt went aside and inserted an at
las batween his shirt and epidermis. In
due time, baofc we went, apparently in'
great trepidation, to receive onr sen
tence from the irate Dominie, but a trifle
consoled by tbe precautions which bad
been so deftly taken.
Oar tarn came first, atd the Doctor,
for once* completely thrown off of hie
balance, fairly tiptoed to tbe task he bad
undertaken. Down rained the blows,
each sounding like a small clap of thun
der as it descended upon the faithful at
tar. Of conns the viotim squirmed and
yelled is a manner calculated to draw
tears from his sympathising school
mater, while feeling nevar a cut. Pant
ing and half repenting the severity of the
punishment, tha teacher at length tamed
bun loose. Then came Jim'* turn, and
trie Doctor, placing him in the middle o!
the floor, Matched the dreadful looking
peach switch. One, two, three strokes
fall with smarting effect on the poor fel
low's beck, and then suddenly tbe form
idable rod went to pieces incontinently,
like a glass enake when struck, or the
fall cf an earthen pipe. There was a
pause, while the Dominie examined the
broken fragments, and detected tbe de
vice. Poor Jim then came infer a double
doso by tne aid of tbe tough oak spront
which the atlas had resisted so b rarely J

ineffso*bly stamped npon ths mind.
After leaving Suubury, pr, Freay asso
ciated with another noted teacher, Mr.
Charles Bosignol, for many yearn taught
a select oLasical school ia Savannah.
He was always regarded as one of tho
best educators of yonth in the country,
and this,.hundreds of his old pupil* will
avouch. Ho terer married, to far as wa
are informed, and was exceedingly shy Of
ladies society. T eJf
Taken all iu - all tbs dealer was n re

wrapped np m his profession, as simple
as a cnild, qnsint and unique la his man
ners, he was a good Impersonation of the
Dominie Sampson, of the great novelist,
while hi* gentleness and kindness won
the beans of those with, whom he was as-
aooiated. « , _ c t
It is a lamentable truth that the noble
calling of tas educator in' thl8 oountry,
