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.

GEORGE, 4w4 Administrator. Eiviiu.iJi.iinn mil iwbiiii iiiii - 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. Fourth W?ok Jurors.

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.
