Bownan for assault and battery with in Cent to kill resulted in a verdict of guilty. On account of his absence the sen tence was sealed. When the case was first called for trial Sir. Bowman's counsel asked . for s continuance on the ground that , his client, by reason of ? serious injury received from a horse would be unable, to come'to" Sumter at this term of the" Court. I t was the ?eneYeFtfpsbio? that this pies'was gotten ;trp for the occasion, and few believed that Mr. Bowman was suffering from any injury what soever. However^ Judge Pressley refused to coniinue the ease and it was brought to trial and'resulted in a verdict of guilty . Mrs. P. G Bowman arrived in Sumter on last Thurs day mor&iotf with the view of paying the fine in her husband's case if the sentence per? i;Bitted- it. Hence the following order was taken out: Th* State op South Carouka, S?MTicR Cous?t. In the Court of General Sessions. The State vs. Peyton G; Bowman and Wal ter I. Harby, Defendants?Assault and' bat tery with intent to kill, Ac. . Whereas the above named Peyton G.

On 2nd of this month he was on his ' way to see his brother, Mr. John Bowman, who has-a position some dis tance from Birmingham, and it was on this trip that be was thrown by bis horse and in jured so badly that he had to be brought back to Birmingham on a litter. Mr. Bowman is now confined to bis bed and has had a good many hemorrhages lately. His physician says that his, left lung is nearly all gone. . In tbe Court of Common Pleas tbe suit of H. J. Gregory ft Co. against Ducker k Buit man for claim and delivery of personal prop erty resulted in a verdict for tbe plain tiff in the sum of $400 or tbe ret arc of the personal property.

Tbe facts are these: Late last Summer Mr. Moses took the train from here to Harvro's Station on tbe Central Road with out having purchased a ticket before board ing the train. When tbe conductor request ed the extra fare Mr. Moses refused, saying that the office was not opened. Tbe conduc tor stopped the train aod had him put off.
