Z. W. Wcoten Released.
Z. W. Wooten, the white man who
ha& been in jail here for several days
charged with crimflkally assaulting
his little step-daughter, Zora Moseley,
t an embecile, was released from custody
on Thursday, the grand jury
failing to find a true bill.
It is said that Mrs. Hutto, the lady
at Pelion to whom Mrs. Wooten said
she bad sh?wn the child soon after
the crime, failed to corroborate the
testimony of Mrs. Wooten, hence the
grand jury's action.
Bids Received for Bridge.
The board of county commissioners
I on Thursday received bids for the
construction of the new steel bridge
over the Saluda river. There were
* ten bids and many prominent
bridge men appeared before the board

day9 before the successful bidder
is known.
The bridge is to be built midway between

- Criminal Court Proceedings.
The criminal court was reconvened
Wednesday after taking a recess on
{ Monday in order to allow the jurors
> and witnesses to go home and vote in
j the general election on Tuesday,
j The first- case taken up was that of
[ Maxcey and Percy Sternberg, two j
I small white boys, the eldest not over
| fifteen and the joungest less man
twelve, for assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature upon the
person of Miss Alma Livingston, a
prepossessing and attractive young
lady school teacher of North, Orangeburg
county, who had charge of a
school in the lower part of this county
last winter. It seem9 that Miss
Livingston had occasion to whip one
of the boys for misbehavior and the
next morning the boys returned to
school, armed with wooden knucks
and other weapons of warfare, and it
i6 said that one of the boys proceeded
to use the knucks while the other laid
on the switch. Miss Livingston stated
that she was bruised about the face
and otherwise injured. The boys put
up the plea of not guilty. The State
? ~ ?nf o xrortr fct.rnncr naflft and So
Uiituc vuu a ?v?j ~
licitor Timmerman made a masterful
and eloquent plea for conviction, but
the age of the defendants evidently
had its weight with the jury and a
verdict of not guilry was returned.
Messrs. Graham & Sturkie represented
the defendants.
The case of Toland Jones, a negro,
charged with murder, was next taken
up. It will be recalled that Jones
killed "Funny" Blue, another negro,
on the turpentine farm of Mr. George
Clark several weeks ago. This was
one of the most brutal murders ever
committed in the annals of the county.
Jones, after shooting Blue's
heart out with a shotgun, pulled his
knife and cut the dying man's throat
from ear to ear. Jones was convicted
- . ? J
of manslaughter and was sentenced
to serve twelve years in the State
penitentiary. Col. E. L. Asbill, of
Leesville, represented Jones.
Truesdale Carr, the young negro
who shot and killed Robert Stevens,
another negro, in the pressing room
of Joe Davis in this town about two j
, weeks ago, was convicted of manslaughter
and was sentenced by Judge I
Shipp to serve three years on the
chain gang. Carr was ably defended j
by Messrs. Efird & Dreher.
John Efird, a negro, was tried on
Saturday for rape, his alleged victim
being a 15-year-old negro girl of New
Brookland. Efird was acquitted in
short order. He was represented by
Messrs. Efird & Dreher and T. C.
Sturkie.
The grand jury failed to find a true
bill against E. J. Thornhill, M. L.
Fox, S. D. Shealj7, William Mitchell,
Pink Mims, James Addy, Eugene
Boyer, J. N. Mathias, Rufus Addy
and Jake Brennemer, for gambling.
Henry Moore, a negro, pieaaea
guilty to the charge of gambling and
was sentenced to serve three months
on the gang.
John Starling, a negro, pleaded
guilty to assault and battery and got
one year.
Arthur Banks, a young negro boy,
confessed to housebreaking and was
sent to the gang for one year. Banks
is the same boy who a few years ago
entered the postoffice at Swansea.
He was convicted of the charge and
served two years in the United States
reformatory in Baltimore.
Judge Shipp and Solicitor Timmerman
are to be congratulated upon the
work accomplished last week. All of
the jail cases were disposed of, and
only the bail cases remain on the
docket.

Precocious Strategy
The other night when Johnson was
putting his 4-year-old daughter to bed,
the following dialogue took place:
"Can God hear what I say now?"
from the daughter.
"Yes," replied the father.
This time in a whisper. "Did he
hear then ?" inquired the daughter.
"Yes. He hears you just the same,"
was the reply.
This time apparently lower. "Did he
here me rhen ?" asked the child.
"why, yes, of course he does,"
said the father,
"Weil, I didn't say anything that
time at all," declared the child, in
triumph.
