The two were charged with the killing of Adam Watts, a Confederate soldier, 72 years old, and the brother of Jacob Watts. In passing sentence upon the men, Judge Shipp said that if there is any one thing that he has been criticised _ for doing since he has been on the bench, it is tor his leniency in passing sentences, and in this case^he expected to show mercy, because he believed that neither of the men went to the home of Adam Watts with the intention of taking the old man's life. The two joined the chaingang party on Thursday afternoon. Davis Cook, Hiram Cook and John Johnson, the three Aiken county white men who were convicted of cheating and defrauding J. C.

Mimnaugft's - i n.i L .Big department 9tore in uojumoia is one of the greatest shopping centres in the Caiolinas. The store i9 teemed over with new and seasonable merchandise, and every department is a complete store within itself. Mr. Mimnaugh went to the northern markets several weeks ago, before the price of goods advanced and bought his stock at rock-bottom prices. There is no better judge of goods than Mr. Mimnaugh and he knows just what his trade demands. It is needless to go into details; suffice to say that Mimnaugh -has the goods, and the prices are always right. ? Final Discharge. Notice is hereby given to all concerned that I will apply to Geo.
