And just before the pr'ormance in the big tent, he proved 5t to me-in a way. He told me be :triand what he was going to do, and.t was a test.

On Saturday afternoon, in Chester field county, Steve Williams, a half witted and a very inoffensive negro, was met in tVhe road and shot to death by two other negro boys, Thattus Jett and Will Horn, both of whom were full of booze, and on their way to church. They have been arrested and committed to the Chesterfield jail. A Puzzle of the Courts. News and Courier. The mistrial in the case of the state against Davenport. charged with in tent to kill, in Newberry county, is an other puzle of the South Carolina Criminal courts. Davenport, a well to-do and prominent farmer, shot Smith. a farmer and merchant equally prominem and well-to-do. The men disputed about a pianta tin road. a cause of quarrels among farmers scarcely less prolific than :he line fence. Both men were on horse back. Smith was in his shirt sleeves and unarmed. Davenport shot him through and through the body. He has never recovered, and the doctors testified that his mind and body are to a degree wrecked. The shooting occurred nearly a year gao. The one eye-witness swore that before he shot, Davenport cried out that Smith was "riding upon him," but that- Smith was not riding upon him. The facts are not disputed. The defendant, Davenport, did not take the stand himself and he offered no testimony. Workman, t'he third party and a friend of Smith, and two surgeons were the only witnesses. The state and the de fence were represented by lawyers of reputation. The jury was out six hours and then a mistrial was ordered. It is said that the jury wvas unani mously for acquittal of assault and battery wi'h intent to kill, and of as sault and bat tery of a high and aggre vated nature. b)ut two jurors held for conviction of a simple assault. When a man shoots another :hrough and through the body, what can his intention be? W\e have no comments to offer. The admitted facts carry their own co,mment. It is worth while for good citizens :o ponder them. It is an in teresting case, to say the least. TEACHER WANTED.
