M’DOW ON TRIAL
For the Killing of Editor Dawson.
Charleston, S. C., May 29.— The
jury to try T. B. MeDow for the murder
of F. W. Dawson, editor of the News
and Courier, in March last, .was
drawn to-day. Out of thirty-six in
the panel fourteen are negroes. The
proportion of negroes is unprecedent¬
ed since 187$, when the whites ob¬
tained cohtro) of the state govern¬
ment. Some friends of the murdered
man charge that the jury box has
been tampered With in the interest of
the murderer. The average propor¬
tion of negroes on juries since 1876
has been from four to six in each
panel.
It is known here that shortly be¬
fore Dawson was slain he had incur¬
red the enmity ot most of the leading
colored preachers. In an editorial
article written by him, he urged the
governor to pardon the negroes in
Pickens county under sentence of
death for lynching a white man who
had raped a negro girl. It wasinti-
mated in the article that while virtue
was not held as high among colored
women as among white women, the
principle was the same, and the
chastity of colored women should be
guarded as zealously against ruffians
as if their skins were white.
Sbon after the publication of this
article, the negro preachers called a
meeting and decided to boycott Daw¬
son and his paper. Only three of the
leading colored ministers refused to
join in the boycott. The others de¬
nounced him and his pape-i in the
pulpit and withdrew their church no
tices from its advertising columns.
Hence the presence of such an unus¬
ual number of negroes _in the jury
to try this case looks to Dawson’s
friends like an organized effort to
acquit* MeDow. The jury commis¬
sioner is a mulatto.
The excitement here is intense.
The trial comes off about June
27th.

Misses Lillie Stallings and Minnie
Springer, of Griffin, spent Sunday in
town as the guests of Miss Ethel Em¬
erson. Several of our young men
that live within % mite of the depot
were so carried away that you could
stand off ten steps and hear their
hearts throbbing with sorrow. Such
boys, and they all know “that a faint
heart never won a fair lady.”
Our town was well represented at
the Alliance picnic Saturday, and
all report a good time. Guess they
had it as two of the boys didn’t get
back until Sunday afternoon.
