The fact t'.iat there are ten murder cases awaiting trial at thc torm of court of general sessions which con venes Monday inorr/ng, is rather mis leading in a way. Although ten peo ple aro charged with murder, these will be tried for only five murders. In fioine cases as many as four are charged with killing the same mau. First on tho list of those- awaiting trial on t'i:c charge of murder ate tar names of four negroes, Charlie Don aldson, Jim Wakefield. Lawrence Cowan and Plummer Davis, all sup* posed to have taken part in tho kill ing of a negro in tho upper section of tho county a few weeks ago. lt will bo remembered that the killing took placo at a saw mill, and that af ter an inquest was held and the body buried, it was learned that there were serious burns on tho dead negro. Thu body was accordingly taken up and nnothor inquest held, which result ed in the arrest of three more no groes, making the number charged In this caso four. What promises to bo ono of tito most Interesting case3 tried In Ander son county in a number of years is that of Feaster Jones, charged with killing his uncle, Dr. L. Cv McCalhi. at Starr about five weeks ago. Tho outline of tho defense was announc ed several days ago, and this .with the promlnenco of both parties, will cause much interest to bo taken.. Henry and Walter Laboon aro to bo tried for murder. They aro charged with killing a negro at a church In the upper section of this county. The case was tried nt the last term of coure of general sessions but resulted in a mistrial. Another interesting case ls that of Doc Freely, Che negro charged with tho murder of Mr. Dodd last Febru ary, and who waB only arrested last week. It appears as If tho mystery of tho case ds to be cleared. Ernest Gentry and TJ2&$ Shaw, two young white men, are charged. with the murder of Waymon Cain, another young mau, in the Carawoll /Insti tute section on Thursday night. One noticeable feature in lookiug over the docket is the small number o? cases t'.:at arc to be tried in which thc defendants are charged with more or less minor offenses. Court will convene at 10 o'clock to morrow morning with Judgo Ernest Mooro of Lancaster presiding. Grand jurors as well as tho petit jurors for tho first week, and all court atten dants are expected to be on hand at that time. .
