HELD FOR CONTEMPT. f Treasurer Montgomery Defendant. Peculiar Case Arises as Result of Division of Marion County and the Forming of Dillon. The following correspondence ' from Marion is taken from the Col\\ umbia State: Ik A peculiar, and to J. D. Mont; anVonicry, treasurer of Marion oounty, an annoying situation, was to- \ day brought about as a result of ; the division of Marlon and the formation of Dillon county. Prior to October 190!) Prevatt was required to put up a cash bond for his appearance in court at Mar- i Ion. Failing to appear the bond was forfeited and by order of the court paid to the treasurer of Marion county, the amount of the bond ' being $150. There was then no i Dillon county so the cash was en- ' tered In the general fund and paid out as was other revenue derived from taxation, that part of Marion I 1 I that is now Dillon receiving its pro- I partlonate share in the distribution. When Dillon county was created provision was made that all pending cases from that part of old Mar- , ion county now Dillon, should be \ transferred to Dillon county. At the first term of court held in I Dillon the case of Prevatt was call- | ed and Prevatt failing to apear. j the solicitor demanded the bond, j When it was ascertained that the i bond had already been paid in Mar- j Ion county an order was obtained ! from Judge Prince demanding the I treasurer of Marion to pay to the | county of Dillon the $150. When the order was received the treasurer filed his reply with the clerk of court of Dillon, and 6ent a copy to Solicitor WellB, who was to represent him if the case came to trial, said reply being that Dillon county bad already received her share of the forfeit, and as there was no money in the treasury at the close of the year 1909, there was consequently nothing with which to pay. At the term of the court just closed in Dillon 8oilcltor Spears obtained an order from Judge DeVore ' adjudging Montgomery in contempt; ot the former order issued by Judge j Prince, and ordered the sheriff of I Dillon to arrest Montgomery and I hold him until he purged himself | of contempt by paying the $150. In ! compliance with this order the sher iff of Dillon came to Marlon and ar- j rested Montgomery and would no j doubt have taken him to Dillon had j not Montgomery got into communi-! cation with Solicitor Spears by telephone, by which arrangements were ' made to try the case at some fu-1 ture date and Montgomery was re- j leased. The case will probably be I tried here at the October term of the court. 0 Petit Jury. Following are the Jurors for the { Court of Common Pleas, October. 10th. J. C. Adams, Hillsboro.

Cavalry church, came into town early Monday morning and swore out warrants for John Rrvu lif llnwujor,! T J ? ... j ..V/XBIU Ul J U'll, UlIU" ley Ivey.Charlie Herring,H. Willcox Herring and James Lamb, Lonnie and John R. Bryant and Howard and Loss Allen, all young white men whom he charges with having terrorized and threatened his family with shot guns and pistols Sunday night. McKenzie is a prosperous young farmer and owns a valuable sevenacre farm near Mt. Cavalry. He alleges in the warrant that on Sunday night the party came to his house in a drunken condition, fired into hte house, then entered the dwelling and threatened to kill him and his family. After entering the house the rioters fired bullets through the ceiling, brandishing their weapons and when he remonstrated with them they held him at bay with shotguns. According to McKenzie's version of the affair the conduct of the party was outrageous and they will have a serious charge to face at the next term of the criminal court. The statutes hold that when a disturbance is raised by two or more persons the offense constitutes a riot and if the young men are indicted and convicted of having raised a riot they will have a heavy penalty to suffer. The warrants were placed in the hands of Sheriff Lane Monday and he left for the scene of the disturbance immediately. Will Cox, one of the alleged rioters, is now under bond for having attempted to kill the sheriff of Robeson county. 0 HOX1) ISSUE CARRIES. Out of 52 Votes 40 are for Bond Issue. Three (Hood Men Klected Commissioners. At the election held Tuesday upon the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $15,000 for the purpose of erecting a new electric light plant the vote was 40 to 11 in favor of the bond issue. Very little interest was taken in the eelction for the bond issue as it was generally agreed that the issue would be carried, but there was at times during the day some interest manifested in the election of th^ three commissioners. The vote was as follows: For the bond issue, 40. Against the bond issue, 11. For commissioners: M. A. Stubhs, 42. E. T. Elliott, 30. A J. C. Cottingham, 27. The terms of the commissioners are two, four and six years.
