TUESDAY, April 14th. On the assembling of the Court at 9:30 a. in., the verdict of the jury in the case of the State against J. E. Johnson for selling laud, upon which there existed two mortgages and a judgment without giving notice of their existence was published, and the defendant found guilty with n recommendation to the mercy of Court. , . . . This defendant was convicted at a previous term, but his case was taken on appeal to the Supreme Court, and a new trial obtained. This convic tion is under a new statute, which makes the disposition of property under lien a criminal offence. The next case was that of the State against Lazarus Posey, for breach of trust with fraudulent intent. ll.’e counsel for the defendant were Messrs. DeVore A Woodward and Henderson Bros, and the State was represented by Acting Bolicitor Jauiea A lunch, assisted by W. T. Gary, Esq., of Au gusta. This case was brought by the Singer Sewing Machine Company, by whom Posey bad been employed. The case occupied the entire day, and was ably contested by counsel on both sides. The verdict of the jury was— ‘•not guilty.” WEDNESDAY, April 15th. 10:30 a. m. preach. Mr. W. W. Woosley is addition of four rooms to his house, 5 miles from Aiken. makii.g an tarm- Dr. R. C.

GRANITEYlLLiE NEWS. .r • aid Court convened at the usual hour, and as the tirst business of the day, Acting Solicitor Aldrich entered a uol 2>roH in the second case of the Slate ys. JLazarus Posey for breach of trust with fraudulent intent,, assigning as hi> reason that since the last term of the Court Mr. Erwin, the most mate rial witness for the prosecution had died. The case of the State vs. William Cleary (colored) for burglary and larceny was then called. Messrs. DeVore & Woodward appeared for the defendant and Mr. Aldrich for the State. Verdict—guilty. The Court adjourned for dinner at 2 o’clock, and upon assembling at 3 o’clock James Thomas (colored) was arraigned for the murder of Robert Ford, also colored, in January last, an employee on board of the United States dredge-boat Tocoa, then an chored in the Savannah River, one mile and a half from Graves’ Point. He was brutally murdered for his money on the highway leading to El- leuton, and left on the side of the road. Though the evidence was strong as to the circumstances of the murder, yet the identity of the prisoner in con nection with the crime was never sat- remain- .oved. The jury ight, hi and was discharg> d ed out until 10 o’clock at night, but and for that reason no mention whs made by us of their names am >ng the) list of cases actually tried before a jury. We would also mention that John E. Johnson convicted on Tuesday for selling property under a lien, was sen tenced on Wednesday to 6 months imprisonment in the County jail. After tlie delivery of the sentences a number of orders were asked for and obtained, among them an order was applied for by W. Q. Davis, Esq., for the release of A. I’. Tarrant on his own recognizance, as owing to the illness of Solicitor Gantt and the ab sence of a material witness; no bill was given to the Grand Jury in his case, which was for the forgery of the name of G O. Rob inson, of Augusta, to a check which was cashed by J. H. Heck man, of Aiken. In view of all the attendant circumstances Judge Fraser granted the order, and the defendant will be released from jail. The following important present ment by the Grand Jury was made on Wednesday: Presentment of the Grand Jnry. To the Honorable, the presiding Judge at tlie present term, we the Grand Jury, for the year 1S85, do re spectfully report at this term: Attention is called to advertisement of Hutson <k Co., Real Estate Agents, who desire to purchase a building lot, and a substantially built dwelling. The meeting of the stock-holders of the Graniteville Manufacturing Com pany, will take place on Thursday next. Important matters will come up for consideration.

The defendant was represented by W. Q. Davis, Esq., and the State by Acting Bolicitor Aldrich. ^RUBSDAY, April 16th. Court convened at the usual hour, but considerable Uglay^fiiisued owing vs. L. W. James and Sumter James for murder, which had been set for trial this mornirg, could not proceed in consequence of the absence of a material witness. The time however, was utilized by the Solicitor, applying for various orders which were sigma by the Judge. This occupied tlie time of Court until the adjournment for dinner. Upon tlie assembling of tlie Court In the afternoon, the case of L. W. James and Sumter James for murder was called. The counsel for the de fendants were Messrs. Croft & Dunlap, Henderson Bros, and O. C. Jordan, Esq. Acting Solicitor Aldrich and W. Q. Davis, Esq. for tlie State. The case was for the killing of Amos Jordan on the plantation of Capt. A. 8. Seigler, a few miles from Aiken, on the 12th of August, 1884, an ac count of which was published in The Rkcokdek at the time. The affair originated in a quarrel concerning the v tresspass of stock, which brought on an attack from Jordan, who cut L. W. James with a knife in several places. In the collision L. W. James shot Amos Jordan with a gun, handed him by his brother Sumter James. All the parties were colored, and this in brief was the origin of the difficulty. The evidence went to make out a case of self-defence, and the jury re turned a verdict of not guilty. The case was sharply contested by the op posing counsel. Three speeches were made for the defence, viz., Messrs. 1). S. Henderson, O. O. Jordan and G. W. Croft, and Isith Messrs. Davis and Al drich spoke for the State. The trial of this case was not concluded until Friday night. SATURDAY, April IStll. Court convened at tlie usual hour, and the ea-e of the State vs. John Scott for murder was culled. The de fendant was represented by Messrs. Henderson Bros, and the State by Act ing Solicitor Aldrich. 1’he ottence was committed on the 28th of February, 1885; originating in a quarrel on the streets of Aiken, be tween Scott and the deceased James Burris for the possession of ten cents. Burris was armed with a pistol, and in a scuftje it fell from his pocket, Scott picked it up and shot the de ceased with itis own pistol. The de fendant was just 14 years old and the deceased about 21. Both parties were colored. The case was well managed on both sides. The case consumed the entire day, and the jury found a verdict of not guilty. MONDAY, April 20th. Court convened at the usual hour, and some time was consumed in the siguingof various orders by the Judge, i Judge of Probate after which tlie case of the State vs. i served on tne Board 1st. We 'thank your Honor, and acting Solicitor James Aldrich, Esq., for the aid given us in discharging our duties. 2nd. We regret to find so large* a number of prisoners in our County jail for trial at this term, and that tlie criminal docket of our County con tains so many cases for trial, but we believe that this state of atlairs is due to a great extent, to the fact that no session of this Court has been held since early in September, 1884, and not to an increase of crime in our County. 3rd. "We find that tlie public roads all over our County are being tresspassed upon by being ploughed into, and by the cutting of tlie shade trees within the right-of-way, and recommend that the County Commissioners do lay out said roads to cure this trouble. We also notice that a portion of the plas tering in the court-room is in bad con dition, and suggest that this be ex amined into by the County Commis sioners. 4th. We have examined all the J ublic offices. We find that the Probate udge’s office in our opinion is in b:,d condition, that same lias not been carefully kept by the last incumbent; that the present Judge of Probate has not received all the books and papers of this office from the last incumbent, and states that his reason for not re ceiving same, is because of the condi tion in which he found the same, and we recommend that tlie last Judge ol Probate be required to put the records and papers ot his office in a prop, r condition, and that then the present Judge of Probate be required to re ceive tlie same and to keep same in E roper condition, and that necessary ooks and stationary be furnished by the County Commissioners for this purpose. So far as we can judge, all the other offices are k/ ,>t in a busi ness-like manner, and the incum- * nts of these offices are attentiveito icir duties. We reconirueud Bjat the County Commissioners do furnish the Clerk of the Court with all neces sary books for his office and proper lettering for the pigeon holes in his office. 5th. It has been called to our at- tiou that Angus P. Brown, late Clerk of this County, was administrator of the derelict estate of R. D. Prior; that when tlie term of office of said Brown expired, lie turned over to W. W. Williams, late Probate Judge of this County, certain funds and property belonging to said estate, that the term of office of said Williams’ lias expired, but that neither the present Judge of Probate or the present Clerk of Court hold tlie property of said estate. Mr. Williama*states that he is ready to account for same, and Mr. Jordan, the present Clerk of Court, states that he can find no record authorizing him to receive the same. As the matter stands at present, those entitled to the funds of said estate cannotget the same, and we feel their must be an error or a wrong somewhere, and call this matter to the attention of the Court and ask that the error or wrong, as tlie case may be, be corrected as tlie wisdom of the Court dictates. 6th. We have appointed a commit- teeofour body/ o isisti ng of the follow ing members namely: Messrs. Frank Dunbar, J. H. Beckman, J. H. Busch, A C. Small, J. L. Davis and William Stevens, to meet before the next term of this Court, to wit on May 18th, 1885, at Aiken, 8. C., and examine into the present condition of the bonds of all of our County officers, and to report their action at the next meeting of this Grand Jury. 7th. We regret the present illness of our friend Solicitor F. H. Gantt, and trust he will soon be restored to his usual good health. Respectfully, Frank Dun hah, Foreman. On Monday the 20th, just before the adjournment of the Court of General Sessions the following order of Judge Fraser, wasread by acting Solicitor Aldrich. Alderman J. H. Bredenberg, of Augus'.a, attended tlie Schtietzen Ball, and was remarked upon by some of the ladies, as one of the most graceful dancers upon the floor. Visitors to Charleston, will find the Pavillion Hotel a most desirable resort, where they will enjoy the ex- cel encies of a first-class table, airy and comfortable rooms and polite at- tendence. President Henry Hahn, of the Aiken Schuetzen, feels justly proud of the success of the Schuetzenfest of 1885, espec’ally the ball. It ce<» tainly was a successful and well managed entertainment. As warm weather is approaching, our citizens generally should thor oughly cleanse their premises of all trash and other matter liable to fir- mentation. Backyards should be thoroughly overhauled, and lime ap plied in liberal quantities. Miss Carrie Izlar, daughter of Gen. Janies Izlar, of Orangeburg, S. C., Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, is visiting her friends Mr. and Mrs. George Curtis. She attended the Schuetzen Ball, and was one of the belles of the evening. Revival services are being conduct ed at the Bamberg Methodist Church, under the auspices of Rev. T. M. Norris the pastor. Tlie Rev. W. M. Duncan of the Aiken Methodist Church, preached on Friday and re turned on Saturday in time for his own services. He reports that the meeting is well attended and much interest manifested. Bishop H. P. Northrop during his stay in Aiken, was the guest of Dr. W. H. Geddings. Being a native Carolinian, he is naturally fond of horseback riding, and yesterday he rode out in company with the Rev. P. J. Wilson pastor of the Aiken Church, for the purpose of exercise and recreation. He left last evening for Augusta and will visit Barnwell to-day or to-morrow, and on Sunday next, will preach at Beaufort. Base Ball.
