THB JBTER CASB. Ordered Back to Newberry County.-Bail Reduced from $1,000 to $'50. The Order. On a motion made by Cole L. Blease, Esq., before Judge R. C. Watts, in Charleston on Tuesday, the case of W. B. Jeter, charged with breach of trust. was ordered transferred from the County of Charleston to the County of Newberry, and the amount of Jeter's bail reduced from $1,000 to $750. The case is familiar to the readers of The Herald and News. Jeter was in the employ of W. L. Nelson, of Charles-. ton, and was engaged in the business of buying and selling cattle. He is charged with having appropriated'the sum of $500 advanced by his employer, Nelson, to be used in his traffic in cat tie. The motion for a tranfer of the case was made by Mr. Blease on the ground that the alleged crime was committed in this county, and not in Charleston. It seems that Jeter was in Newberry about three weeks past, and drew on Nelson through the National Bank here for the $500. The bank at first re fused to cash his draft, but finally did so upon a receipt of a telegam from Nelson himself saying that the draft would be honored when it reached Charleston. It was argued by Mr. Blease that inasmuch as Jeter was in Newberry when he secured the money, the crime, if crime there be, was com mitted in Newberry. Jeter while in Newberry entered into partnership with McWhirter under the firm name of McWhirter & Jeter, doing a general butcher business on lower Main street. He was arrested here by the Sheriff of Charleston on a warrant sworn out by Nelson. He applied to Judge James Aldrich for bail, which was granted in the sum of $1,000. Failing to give bond on last Saturday he was carried to Charleston by Deputy Knox. The following is the order of Judge R. C. Watts, concurred in by Solicitor Hildebrand, tranferring the case to Newberry, and reducing the amount of bail from $1,000 to T50. On the motion before Judge Watts the State was represented by Solicitor Hildebrand and Legare and Holman, and the defense by lon. Cole L. Blease. The order follows: THE ORDER. South Carolina, Charleston County. -In General Sessions. -- State vs. W. B. Jeter, Defendant, Breach of Trust. It appearing that the offense charged in the above stated case was committed in the County of Newberry, State afore said, and that this court therefore, has no jurisdiction herein, upon motion of Cole L. Blease, defendant's attorney, It is ordered that this case be trans ferred to the County of Newberry for trial, and that the defendant be con veyed by the Sheriff of Charleston into the custody of the Sheriff of Newberry County at once. It Is further ordered that the defend ant be released from tho custody of the Sheriff of Newberry County upon his entering into bond in the sum of seven hundred and fifty dollars, conditioned for his appearance at the next term of the Court of Sessions for Newberry County, said bond to be given before and approved by the Clerk of the Court of Newberry County, wvith not less than two nor more than five securities. It Is further ordered that a copy of this order be served upon the Clerk of the Court of Newberry County imme diately. R. C. Watts, Presiding Judge 1st Jud. Cir. I consent: R. F. Hildebrand, Solicitor. Charleston, S. C., Feb. 24, 1903. A subsequent order wvas issued on Wednesday requiring the SheriIr -f New berry immediately to go to Charles ton for the prisoner.

FIne Specimen of Sugar Beet. A fine specimen of the Mangel Wur .el sugar beet, weighing twenty-two >ounds, grown by Mr. David Pitts from Iced dlistributedl by Mr. John Scott for practical dlemonstration as to whether he sugar beet can b)e successfully crown here as a crop, proves beyond all luestion that it can. The favorable re >orts from various farmers who tried ;he experiment warrant preparation for i. more extensive cultivation the com-, nig season. From twelve to twenty bons per acre is rep)ortedl as proportion ite yield, and specimens weighing from rouriteen to twenty-two pounds were grown by those who tried the seed last season. The sugar beet is largely grown by dairymen andl sheep raisers. The for mer prize it not only for its great yield, but for the rich milk it produces, and it is saidl that all stock fedl on it thrive and keep in fine condition. The variety resists the cold in this climate so well that it dloes not require housing and may be gathered from the field as wanted for stock food, which proves a great advantae WIPED. OUT OF EXISTENCE. Thriving Little Town of Peak Reduced to Ashes Yesterday Morning-Spark From Engine the Cause. The thriving little town of Peak. or the Southern railway about midway be tween Newberry and Columbia, was al most totally destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. In the business portion of the town only three unoccu pied buildings are left standing. It is supposed and generally believed that the fire was caused by a spark from one of the Southern's locomotives. About two o'clock it was discovered in five bales of cotton on the platform alongside the railroad. The bales on fire were hemmed in on one side by about fifty other bales of cotton and on the other side by freight cars on the railroad track. The track at the time was greatly congested with cars on ac count of the wreck which had just oc curred on the Southern at a station a few miles below towards Columbia. At the time the fire was discovered, had it been possible to move the bales on fire or to secure water the town would have been saved. Only one bucket of water was available, how ever, and two hours later, or at about four o'clock, the whole business por tion had been reduced to ashes. The heaviest losers, probably, were Messa. S. T. Swygert and Henry Suber. From the best information obtainable the following are the losses: Depot and two box cars belonging to the Southern railway. Fifty-three bales of cotton on the platform at the depot. Store house and stock of general merchandise belonging to S. T. Swygert. Store house of Brooks Swygert, in which was located the dispensary. Postoflice building owned by Wm. White, of Columbia. Furniture store owned by Henry Suber. General hardware establishment owned by Henry Suber. Warehouse belonging to Henry Suber. Drug store and several buildings torn down in order to stop the spread of the fire. Mr. Suber saved a good deal of his stock or goods. Mr. S. T. Swygert's stock was entirely destroyed. The buildings left standing are an unoccupied store house of W. M. Wil son, store house of .1. C. Swygert, oc cupied by Mr. Bundrick, and the city and masonic hall. The insurance, it is understood, was very light. None of the dwellings caught. Black Art in Wcst End. Black Art will be played in the Old Chapel on : aturday night, March 7, by the young men of West End. The play has been well rehearsed and the boys' promise a good and interesting show. The admission will be 10c. for children and 15c. for adults. Doors open at 7 o'clock. Performance at 8 o'clock. Bishop Smith's Lecture Postponed. The lecture to be given in the opera house by Bishop A. Coke Smith, under the ausp)ices of the ladlies of Centr-al Mtethodist church, has been postponed until the evening of Mar-ch 10. Bishop Smith has been called to Nashville to attend an impor-tant comn mittee appointment, and hence the postponement. Mr. 0. M. Jamnieson. Ther-e is a very gener-ally expressed regret in Newvbe-r-y that Mr. 0. M. Jamieson has r-etir-ed from business here. During his long car-eer as one of the city's leadling merchants he has gainedl hosts of friends throughout this andl adjoining counties, and had built Ut) for- his business a pat-cnage second to none. The peop)le had long since lear-nedt that his goods wvere first-class and that he wouldI make none but a legitimate profit. Trhat when he adver-tised a cost sale, his goods would go at cost. And here was one secr-et of his suc cess. Hie knewv the value of printers' ink and he used his knowvledge to the best advantage. He adlver-tised, andl when he adlver-tised his promises wvere just as binding as if they wer-e inco porated in a str-ictly legal contract. Mr. Jamieson wvill leave in the nea future for a visit t.o relatives in Missis sippi. He will then r-etur-n to New berry. His many friends wish him a long life and a great deal of prosperity in any business which he may enter. Letter to H. G. Meyer-, Newberry, S. C.
