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. Sunny Side Scintillations. Sunny Side, Ga., May 29.- -Dry! ohl how dry it is. Cotton is looking well considering’ the dry weather.
