(Greenville News, 14th.) H. P. Dill, former overseer of the Greenville county chalngang, was ac quitted in the Court of General Ses sions yesterday of the charge of cruelly whipping a convict. The case, which has excited a great deal of in terest on account of the issues In volved, was the first one called yes terday morning;, nnd !t w?? disposed of before the adjournment for the dinner hour. The warrant for the arrest of Mr. Dill waB sworn out by Sidney J. Bauknlght, a young white man who was convicted of bigamy and sen- | fenced to I servo one year on the county cUaingang, and he was the | principal witness for the State in the trial. The defense contented it-elf j with the evidence of Mr. Dill. Bauknlght testified that TV he ri he ' was sent to the chalngang he was in 111 health and was unable to do any hard work. He claimed that when he told Mr. Dill, the overseer, this, he (Dill) whipped him unmercifully, 1 and forced him to go out to work. '? He claimed that time after time Mr. Dill would make him pull off his coat and would whip bim on the back with a strap until the blood would flow freely. He also testified that he had seen the overseer whip other prison ers unmercifully. Mr. Dill, the defendant, admitted that he had whipped the prisoner, but denied that he had done BO un mercifully. He cluimed that when Bauknlght came to the gang he told him that he was sick. Mr. Dill then had the county phisiclan, Dr. Maul dln, to exaittl?Q him. Dr. ..lauldln reported that the prisoner was able to work. Bauknlght repeatedly re lumed to W?rk, and lt became neces sary to whip him. He said that he whipped him only so much as was necessary to make him do the work required of the prisoners. Judge Prince charged the jury that an overseer had the right to whip a convict so as tc nake him carry out the sentence of the court, which was that the prisoner should serve one year on the chalngang at hard labor, ir tue oyerseer had whipped the pris oner more than was necessary he should be convicted, Judge Prince said. The charge of Judge Prince defeated the argument of the State that lt was unlawful to whip a con vict. The jury was out only a short time before returning with a ver dict of not guilty. Mr. DUI was warmly congratulated by his friends. When the charges were brought up against him he resigned his position ns overseer, as he did not think lt wouid be doing justice to.the super visor to remain In the orifice with tho charges hanging over him.

I am especially anxious that the Sun day schools of this State be repre sented by their most earnest, active and interested workers, and lt seems that it would be a good investment for any school to offer to defray the leading teacher, for In inspiration and helpful methods that could be secured and brought back the school would be more than repaid. "Schools adopting this plan, or In dividuals wishing to go as delegates, will please make application to me or to the genera' secretary, J. M. Way, at the State Sunday school headquarters, Pelzer, S.
