C., "WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1906. 11 Court Proceedings. The court of General Sessions convened here Monday icorniog, r?hlr. itfe the rea aired hour, wiib -x Judge D. E Hydriok, of Spartanburg, presiding. Judge Hydriok succeeds Hon. D. A. Towneecd, of the 7th Judical District and was commissioned on December 7ih, last. The grand jurors were on hard and were sworn in with Mr. Isaac Edwards, of Batesburg, as Foreman. Being a thorough business man it is well for os to have Him in charge of this part of the machinery of the court. We admire the manoer in which j Judge Hydriok dispatches the workings of the court acd w e are sorry we cannot give his charge to the grand jury in full. He give them their general duties, plainly and clearly, called their attention to shortages and defalcations, so nnmerous of late year*; . recalled the origin of 4iLaw ana Order Leagues," as to which be stated it was both a good and a bad sign to have them. Good when the best citizens take the proper interest to give os law acd order, and when | it was necceseary to hsve 009 of these Leagues. That is if Magistrates and Constables would do their duty, there would be no need of them. Henry Leapbart, colored, was up p for carrying an unlawful pistol. The occurrence was near town here, at the colored Baptist eh urcb, on Christmas, and a good number of the congregation became involved.before the day was over. Mr. T. C Sturkie appeared for Leaphsrt and msde a hard fight, but the jury found bim guilty witb mercy aua me sentence 01 j $25 00 was promptly paid. Preston Franklin, Jr., a member of thft church was charged undf r a new law of firing a gun in 50 yards of a i highway, which be said he fired in the air to get the load out. He *c knowledged his part and begged fo: mercy and hence got off for $15 Qaite a number of others were up for disturbing religious worship, &s, but the Judge seat",them down to Magistrate Wingard ;to answer for ^ their sins. L. H. E. Lybrand, of Gilbert Hollow township,entered a plea of guilty for violation of the dispensary law and received the minimnm sentence of $100 or three months. His attorney, Mr. Asbill, gave notice of annan! from the KPntenea and teeur "rr""* ed bond for Mr. Lybrand in the sum of $200, and he was discharged Abraham Hedin, colored, of Barrs, was up for violation of the dispensary law. Mr. Sturkie defended bim. The jury gave bim mercy, and bis sentence was $150 or six months. Oq December 2, last, John Carter, colored, threw a rock at a passenger train at Fredouia and came very near bitting Mr. Doc Smith, tbe fligciao. Jobn plead guilty and was ? i/en $50. which be paid. Frank Turner, a one armed white man, was up for grand larceny. His charge was stealing a $75 watch and $8 in silver money from J. A. Bell, Brookland. Without an attorney or witness he plead bis own case, only to get three years on the chaiD gang. John Stevens was tried in his absence for obtaining money under false pretense. Mr. Graham appeared for Stevens who is reported sick. He was found guilty, but lo sentence was passed. George Wright and Ei jib Hunis, colored, were up for stealing twu watches valued at $20. Ween the? were brought into court, Harr;* took it all on himself, and was giveu tnree years on the gang. Wrig&t ws3 released. On December 1, 190-1.

The case has leen called several times, but had to be continued because Dr. Adams could not be gotten before the court to testify. Two beach warrants have been issued for him, but to no avail. This |s the fourth term the witnesses have been on hand at the expense of the county. Mr. Sbarpe appeared for the defendant. and the olea was self de J __ 4fease. He was acquitted. Today tbe trial of Sam Cfieman for killing Watkios,3t Bateeburg la6t November, is in progress. Peak News. Lots of rain and muddy weather, the roads are almost impassible at | places. Trade is dull, due to our farmers j holding cotton for higher prices, which I hope we will succeed in getting but why is it that we farmers in Lexington county can't organize and get on tbe band wagon with tbe rest of the cotton growers of this Stste and the rest of Southern States? it looks mighty selfish in us. We want all that is coming to us, but when we are 'asked to give jaet a small amount to the good work we sniggle and laugh at it. Let's do better and when tbe next State Cotton Growers' Convention is held let's have our delegates there, and iet them report, as good as any of our neighboring counties.

Pope's Story ot tlic Sleep Vision of Sir Godfrey Kneller. I dreamed I was dead, said the paint- J er. Before me I saw a door and a i J great number of people about it. As 1 I drew nearer I could distinguish St. Peter by his keys with some other of the apostles. They were admitting the people as they came next to the door. As the first after my coming up approached for admittance St. Peter asked his name and then his religion. "I am a Roman Catholic," replied the spirit. '"Go in then," says St. Peter, "and sit down in those seats on the right nana.' iuo next was a lci^u. He was admitted, too. after the usual questions and ordered to sit down on the seat opposite the other. My turn came next, and as I approached St. Peter very civilly asked me my name. I said it was Knelier. I had 110 sooner said so than St. Luke, who was standing just by, turned to- , ward me and said, with a great deal of earnestness, "What, the famous Sir Gddfrev Knelier of England?" "The very same, s;r," says I, "at your service." On this St. Luke embraced me and made a great many compliments on the art we both of us had followed in this world and entered so far into the subject that he seemed almost to have forgotten the business for which I came thither. At last, however, he recollected himself and said: "I beg your pardon. Sir Godfrey. I was so much taken up -with the pleasure of conversing with you. But, apropos, pray, sir, what religion may you be of?" "Why, truly, sir," says I, "I am of no religion." "Oh, sir," says he, ?I - ?? tlwn oo tn cm in y{JU Will L/IZ nu lu^a uo tv am i and take your seat where you please." ?Pope. Origin of the Derby. The twelfth Earl of Derby is unknown to the reader of the ordinary history book. Lovers of art know hiin vaguely as the peer who married the pretty and popular actress Eliza Farren, whom the young Lawrence painted so brilliantly. But the earl yearly has his revenge when all the world and his wife dock to Epsom to see the race for the Derby stakes, for that race, in its institution in 17S0, was named after the jovial young peer who was one of the leading patrons of the Georgian turf.--London Standard. Bolter In Slices. From time immemorial in Cambridge. England, the dairymen roll the butter so as to form a long stick weighing a pound, which they sell in slices, as if it were sausage. In the market the butter merchants do not need to use ; either weights or scales. A simple J glance is snrrioiont for those people ! accustomed to the time honored practice. A very neat cut with the knife | divides the yard into halves, quarters { or eighths very exactly, and it appears J that the customer is never given short j measure. i The Laxt Word.
