Young-, president and secretary and treasurer, respectively, of the late ^"rninnlps Securities Comnanw iu which so many Lexington people were humbugged, were convicted of breach of trust in the Richland county court last week, and the former sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary and the latter one year. T. A. Whittlo Acquitted. T. A. Whittle, the Saluda county white man who escaped from the Lexington jail on the night of November I 25 last, together with Thomas J. Craft, [ was tried and acquitted upon the charge of forgery in the sessions court here on Friday. Immediately, after the verdict of the jury was announced Whittle was arrested again I upon a warrant sworn out by Sheriff | Coney, charging hirn with jail breaking, one of the most serious crimes [ known 10 our laws. Whittle had 110 lawyer and pleaded his own case. He questioned all comers to the witness stand in characteristic style. After all the evidence had been submitted Whittle addressed the jury, declaring that he was entirely innocent of the charge, and asking the jury to let liim go so that hu could | continue to work for his wife and children. The verdict of the jurywas a general surprise. Judge Watts himself was very much surprised at the verdict, as he thought the State had made out a clear case of forgery. Whittle states that he will be able to convince another Lexington jury that he had nothing to do with breaking jail; that he knows nothing about who put the saws in the cell and expects to be acquitted. On the other hand. Sheriff Corlev is aroint: to push the case to the bitter end and is confident of securing a conviction. Whittle was released from jail on Monday on a 31,000 bond, signed by 0. S. Strom and J. P. Buzhardt. Court Proceedings. Following the trial of "Coot" lover on Wednesday came the case of Eiza Hendrix, a negro, charged with murder. Hendrix was convicted of manslaughter with reoommendation to mercy and received two years on the cbaingang. Hendrix killed "Will Martin, another negro, at the home of "Tilde" Mack, also a negro, in the Hollow Creek section 011 Jan. 3rd. He put up the plea of accidental killing, claiming that the two were tussling with the gun at the time it "went off." The State sought 10 show that the killing, if accidental, was inexcusable under the law, ?s it was a clear case of careless handling of fire arms. Credit for conviction in this case is largely due to the efforts of Coroner B. D. Clarke, who conducted the inquest and who took the position fh;,t there entbely" a-cidental kiliingt" of late. Hencirix was represented b}' Col. E. L. Asbiil, 0'' Leesville. James Pop well and Martha Barres, white, were acquitted of the charge o' adultery. They were represented oy Hon W. II. Sfcar) e, Jerry Seals, a neg o, syas tried and acquitted upon the cuarge of assault aud battery. He was represented by County Superintendent of Education Martin. Littleton Bynum, an brother of Ed Bynum, the nerjro who shot Sheriff Corley several months ago and who is srrving a ten year sentence in the nenitenti iry, was tr e:l and convicted of the charge of assault aDd battery aud was sentenced to serve two years on the chaingang or pay a fine of $100. He will pay the fiue. Theodore Morgan pleaded guilty to house breaking and was sentenced to serve four months on the chaingang. Garner Barner, a negro, pleaded guilty to the charge of disposing of property under lien and was gentenced to four months on the chaingang or to pay a fine of ?50. Elliot Stuart, a negro, was sentenced to serve two and one-half years on the chaingang for assault and battery with intent to kill and carrvinc con c.--alert weapons. Wade Watts, white, pleaded guilty t") the charge of entering the home of his wife together with John Jacobs, and received a term of three months on the chaingang. Frank Moon and Dove Thompson, negroes were found guilty of the larceny of live stock and received two years each on the chaingang. In less than four days more than twenty cases were disposed of, which breaks the record for this county. Juge Watts sustained his reputation for keeping the courts running and is unquestionably one of the ablest.judges that has ever adorned the ben:h in South Carolina. Solicitor Timmerman is to be congratulated for his successful efforts to clear the docket. There is at present only two cases on the criminal docket for trial, and they were continued by consent of all parties. - ? - im a Every Woman Will Too Interested.

Loriek appointed foreman, and nroneeded to the discharge of its uu Lies. We have carefully considered all bills of indictment given to us, and reported t he same to the Court with our findings indorsed upon them. A special committee of our hody has visited the County Poor Farm; ar.d after carefully examining the premises report the same as being well and neatly kept with a large supply of farm produce raised last- year on hand for the use of the institution during the present year. Our attention has been called to the condition of the fencirg around the Jail. Tnis matter, we understand, was reported to the Court by the J&sfc report of the Grand Jury; and we respectfully urge this matter upon the attention of the Count}7 Supervisor and his board of County Commissioners, and recommend that the dilapidated fence in front of the Jail lot be removed and a substantial new fence of either wood or wire be built thereon. We have selected a special committee, consisting of our foreman, H. A. Lorick, and Messrs. G. B. Wingard and J, P. Richardson, to examine fully the various offices and the fiscal affairs of our county at such times during the year as may suit the convenience of said committee and the public's interests may demand.

Swygert, was destroyed by lire here tonight and 15 of the 30 mules that were in the stable at the time perished in the llames, entailing a loss of ?3,000. It is not known whether or not any insurance was earried on them as the shipment of mules had just been received from the West. Tne origin of the lire is unknown. Naws Items From Selma. To the Editor of The Dispatch. There is a lot ol sickness in this section, keeping the doctors on the road all the time. Several eases of pneumonia. Willard Amiek and John Kesler, Jr., being both very sick. Grip is in nearly every family in the whole surrounding country. Not much preparation for this year's crop ha . been made by farmer.,, the weather being too cold. The small grain is not looking well, owing to cold and dry weather. Water is very scarce and many wells have failed and some people have to haul water for their house use.. Two new church buildings are row going up. The Methodists at Shady Grove have pulled down their old church and are erecting a new one on the old site. The Lutherans, near Folk's School House, are building a chapel for Sunday School purposes, and expect to organize a congregation when circumstances will warrant it. Rev. Dr. Groover, of Columbia, preached at Bethlehem last Sunday. Rev. Mr. Burgess preached at Shady Grove the first Sunday afternoon and made a fine impression on the people. Major John E. Fuhner, a prominent and highly respected citizen oT SpringHill section, died very suddenly on the 13th, .and was burid next day at I Mt. Unvet church, of which he .was a faithful and active member from its organization. He was in his 71st year.
