Our representative "C. L. S.," informs us that at Irmo, nothing new developed yesterday, and that Mr. Sturkie had dropped the discussion on the railroad tax question. And everything passed off nicely. For the first time in thirteen years the United States government has announced its purpose to purchase silver for coinage purposes. The stock of bullion in the treasury was exhausted more than a year ago and since then no bullion has been available for subsidiary use. 1 On the line of faithful and able ser| vices rendered to his State and the | just promotion due him, Col. John T. Sloan, he now being lieutenant-governor, is in the race and asks consideration at the hands of the voters of Lexington, his neighboring county, pf *that they roll up a substantial vote I for him for governor on the 28th. We regret that we were unable to publish the platforms of the different legislative candidates, as was intended, but work and space prevented our i doing so. They have, however, been in the various sections of the county in the canvass and the people met them and heard their v^ews, which our reporter, too, has given in brief, covering their general platforms, which should be sufficient informa^ * +a nrioto f.hpir , UUU iur iuc > v o iv iuuuv ? ?!& choice. m:: Mr. A. C, Jones, prohibition ?andijB^pdate from Newberry slapped the face f: of Capt. Joel E. Branson, also a pro Jc' hibition candidate from Snmter, at v Greenville yesterday, at the campaign meeting. ||Mr. Jones was roundly criticised for phis action, and at the time of the occurrence feeling ran high against him. jjfe Capt. Branson is a one-armed man ||| and has the respect and trust of all the candidates, as well as all who know him. Jones left, the park and f . went to the station house~ where he deposited bail in the sum of $5 on the charge of disturbing the peace. v Pp Court Continued. The sessions court came to an end Friday afternoon, and Judge Klugh returned to his home at Abbeville, after a busy week. The grand jury returned a true bill against Cleveland Rucker, Harry Backer, Marion Rucker and Jacob W. Cook for conspiracy to prevent and break up a public school closing exer0"' cises on the 13th last April, at the Culler and Taylor school house in Sandy Run. The case was continued* On July 8, last, Jerry Hope Killed I John Carter, at Gilbert, by shooting him with a pistol. The grand jury presented him for murder and carryunlawful weapon. The evidence was & strong against Hope, and even his attorney, Mr. Asbill did not expect an acquital. After the jury had been out for some time the foreman, Mr. B. L. Kirkland, come in court and asked Judge Klpgh whether they could regy commend mercy if they found him guilty of manslaughter. The judge again charged, the entire jury, and in a few minutes they returned a verdict of not guilty as to both charges, when M the defendant admitted having the pistol. The case of Eddie Bynum and Bunk Bynum for carrying unlawful weapons. Bobert Hoof and Adolphus Lewis for assault and battery with intent to kill; Preston Franklin for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and Lenora Sharpe, Noel Sharpe, Albert Sharpe and George Sharpe for assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying concealed weapons, were all continued to next term.

Roberts, Frank George, S. D. McCartha, Jas. W. Lindler, J. H. Hite and John H. Bailey. The first trial was E. T. Rauch vs. Harrett P. Koon, suit on promissory note for $75, brought by Mr. Graham. Messrs. Efird and Dreher represented Mrs. Koon. The question for the jury was, whether the note was out of date or not. They decided that it was not, and gave judgment for the amount and interest. The next case was Dr. John A. Milhous vs. Southern Railway Co., brought by Messrs. Crawford and Graham, and seeking $2,000 damages for the failure of a passenger train to stop at Perry, S. C., on February 8, 1904, and take on passengers. Mr. E. 3VK Thomson appeared for the defense. This case was tried February 28,1905, and a verdict for $500 rendered. The supreme court, upon appeal, set this verdict aside and ordered a new trial. Yesterday the verdict was $700. Another appeal will be made it was stated. The next case was Morten N. Price vs. Southern Railway Co., in which the same attorneys appeared, and growing out of the same incident. 1 Price asks damages in the sum of $2,100 for getting left by a passenger train at Perry., He is a kinsman of Dr. Milhous, who were both going toColumbia on an early morning train, | which failed to stop for them. The jury gave a verdict for the road. law u-overai&g primaries.
