There has been some discutssionl as to why the sessiols court, which wias to have colivenled on Monday morl ig, wits adjourned from day to day tiltii yesterday morning. Whenl court convened yesterday morning the position of the Newberry bar was stated. Afte' soic remarks, Judge Chas. G. Dantzler, presiding, said: ''I was communicated with over the 'phone, I think on last Friday night, before I left Abbeville, wher'e I was then holding court. The resolu tion of the bar was communicated to ine in that way, andT I stated to Col. 'Johnuistonle over tlie 'phone that the wishes of the bar would be acceded to by me, a' suggested to hii that he notify the clerk of the court, and authorize the clerk, in anticipation of an order thereafter to be made by me, to notify the jurors for next week not -to come in to be present at court, but to adjourn the sessions court from day to day until half past nine o'clock this morning, when we would meet here for the purpose of tranacting such buiiiess as might properly come before the sessions court. That is the part I played in the matter, and it gave me pleasure to accede t6 the wishes of the bar, of course, under the circumstances. ''The solicitor, on the other hand, has a gieat deal of business on hand, and ho is very anxious to dispose of the crininal business, and I have Conferred with him, communicated with him with reference to the ad visability of ordering an extra term of court here later, for the purpose of trying to dispose of some of the criminal business of the court. And I agreed also, at the time of this communication I have just referred to with Col. Johnstone that I would -ive you gentlemen, if I could, later 01n, one( wTek it some other titte that I could give you, that I was on an other cireidt ; give you a week for civil husinless, Civil Jury cases. "Now it has been intiniMated to me( that there has been some little (triticism about this matter, and es peviaily in relation to the solicitor, the impression being that the solici tor is responsible for it. The solici tor had absolutely nothing to do with it. I amn responsible fAr the whole of this matter, a11(1 1 shoulder mly res posibility. I did it in deference to Ile wishes of tle bar. I did so with pleasure, an)d, under tle circunm stancees, I would do so again. I am respusible for tle matter. The solici tor is not responsible for it in any sense off the word. And I freely and volintarily shoulder miy part of the ITspolsibility. 0OURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS Two Murder Cases Tried Yesterday -Several More On Docket.

A few minutes before my encoun ter with Mr. Lyon I had received in. formation that my private affairs these affairs having no connection with my office, were being probed into and that private matters would he brought out in the course of the investigation and would be presented in an entirely erroneous, unwarran ted and harmful light, The receipi of such infromation naturally caus ed ine to become greatly indignant and happening at this moment to sc Mr. Lyon I was swayed by suddei heat and passion and I used languag and assumed an attitude which, how ever great I conceived the provoca tion to be, was not justified in the circumstances, and which I regret. I had no purpose to be in contempi of the dispensary investigating com mittee, nor to obstruct the commit. tee in any legitimate investigation. To this end I beg to submit thi! statement, and regret the occurrence (Signed) 'John Black. Upon receipt of this letter Gov Heyward wrote to the investigftinj committee as follows: Hon. J. T.
