This is a case that has attracted Wide atten- tion in the county, Burdette having shot the deceased in the presence of the former's sister when the three met together in a secluded spot near Owings. Mrs. Dee Bolt, the defend ant's sister, was not present at this trial being 1 kept at home on account of sickness. Wednesday morning the court took up the ease ol the State vs Will Pin son, charged with assault and battery upon the person of Walter C. Davis. This was one of two indictments giv en out by the grand jury for attacks on Davis' and in this case a verdict of assault and battery of a high and ag gravated nature was returned. The defendant was given a sentence of one year’s imprisonment or a money fine. * Three other murder eases were tried during the week’s work. Prelo Lloyd. Henry Barksdale and Charlie Griffin, three young negro hoys, were tried for the murder of an old negro, Abra ham Alexander, in the - upper part of the county.

Huff,- young barristers of the court, who put up an able defense hut could do no more than save them from the electric chair. Prelo Loyd, who claimed an alibi, was represented by W. R. Richey, Sr., re ceived a similar verdict from the court. All three were sentenced to life im prisonment. hut the attorney for Prelo T^ivd h^s filed an anneal for a r new trial.

Byrd, a young farmer of the Tylersville section, was ac- aequittod. The evidence in the case tended to~sdiow~fhat a difficulty arose between’Mr. Byrd and his father, Mr. W. D.

Ac cording to the construction put uiwn Major Workman's message, the 118th will likely land in Charleston about the first or middle of next week. Cables were also received in An derson yesterday from their husbands by Mrs. P. K. McCully, wife of Colonel McCully,, the commanding officer of the 118th, and Mrs. R. .1. Ramer, wife of the captain of the machine gun company of the regiment, to the effect that they had sailed for Amen, a urday. With this, information * at hand, there can ho little doubt but that these local veterans of many battles are at last on their way home and that, upon their arrival here, they will be demobilized at Camp Jackson within a pretty short while. That a large and representative body of'Green ville citizens and peo ple from over the entire Piedmont seefloff~wiIF be at Chartesfoh ttr’weU come the returning heroes is cer tain. As yet, no organized effort has been made locally to send a delega tion of representatives of the people of Greenville to the port to greet the members of this regiment which saw service on the Mexican border, and in training at Camp Sevier and then wery m the thick of the fighting with ♦ he 30th (Division in France. There is not a man among thorn but has a host of friends and relatives in this seo : tion. and it is expected that immediate action will be taken to provide a pro per and fitting welcome to the regi ment upon its debarkation. Company A of the 118th is the old Butler, Guard company, Greenville’s own. In the fighting .this company lost several men and suffered many casualties, as did every organization in the regiment. The other compan ies of the 118th are composed mainly -if men from the following cities and towns: v- Company “R," Anderson. Company “O’’, Pelzcr. Company “D”, Laurens. Company “E.” Union. Company "F.” Spartanburg. Company “G,” Fort Mill. Company “H.” Rock Hill. Company “T.” Cheraw. Company “K,” Anderson. Company “L.” Hartsville. Company “M,” Camden. From the wording of Major Work man's cablegram, it is gathered that the regiment sailed on the 16th, which was Sunday. ’Should only • V- , - seven or eight days be required to make the voyage, the transports C hearing these troops would arrive at Charleston oh Sunday or Monday of next week.
