Should he decide o become a candidate he will make it a live race. He is a very strong man and well kno'wn in the state and has a strong personality. Those who 'popose to contest the election of Mr. Latimer, and many have been named, will have to rub the figures off of their slates and commence to figure aain and will have to fig'ure very close at that to make the result suit +hem-Edo-efield News. COURT COMES TO CLOSE. The Goodwin Case. Continued-Eight Jurors Try Murder 'Case-Barn Burners Convicted. har. arm ( soicitor. Ie toIk hldd If the wrk like an old hi at tie lhsihless and the maIlinierv -i the court moved on smoothlv. Will Sanders. who pleaded guil.ty to killinlg t wo negro wOnl't Marll ch and who was pu, o tini On Wednes day and wh1lo entered a ]ea for iner e\Y. iL will be riteeibered t1he ijury failed to azgree on 1his point and a mistrial was ordered. This ca-e was Iut on rIiat again on Frida and Sani deis' attorney -by appointment of the count. Col. W. H. Hunt. agread to go to trial with eight jurors. The same evidence was submitted and the same plea made -as in the former trial and the eivht jurors agreed to recommead him to merey and thus his neck was saved and he goes to the penitentiary for life. At the same time this case was be ing tried another jury was in the room with a case against three ne groes. Lewis Burton. Lawson John son and Lmore Miays, charoed with the burnin of the barn td st.)ck of Mr. P. N. Boozer. In this case Bur (n confessed and implicated c oth er two. The jury found Burt n. il ty w'!ich han.s him and conviieted! the other two with a recomme.da tion to merey and Judge Gary gave eeh ten years in the penitentiary. It does seem a little queer freak that justice is playing to show mercy to a man who confessed to the brutal, murder of two women and at the same time to put the severest penal ty of the law to a man who confess ed to burning a barn and to convict two others substantiallY on this con fession. Burton is sentenced to hang in December. His attorneys, E. S. Blease and Geo. B. Cromer, will ap peal the case to the supreme court. The other negro, Elmore Mays was defended by Cole. L. Blease. Jno. Shell was convicted of assAul. on the guard of the chain gang and was sentenced to four months or a fine of $100. Geo. Walker and Jno. Walker, charged with the murder of Nelson Payne at Cahppells some months t.o in a game of craps, were tried' und Georget convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years. .on the chain gang while John was convicted of carrying concealed weapons a-id given thrirty days on the gang or a fine of $20. Robt. Ruff was convicted of as sault and battery of a high and ag gavated nature and was given four months on the chain gang or a fine of $100. Mid Bridges, Sol Lewvis, Lee Gary and Drayton Bailey pleaded guilty to violation of the dispensary law and were given $100 or three months Will Johnson -who was convie'tid of reanslaughter wasagiven five years onl the chain gang. Cole. L. Blease, Esq., in one of the cases raised the -point of the legality of the frrand jury in that one of the original panel, Mr. W. A. Counts, was a magistrate. This same point was raised before Special Judge F. B. Grier at the summer term but was overruled by him. Mr. Counts is not now on the grand -jury an extra panel having been drawn. Judge Gary intimated that he would have sustained the point but it was noit a live issue now as Mr. Counts was to on the panel. The Goodwin case which was set for trial on Saturday was continued and Mr. Goodwin on Friday was granted bail in the sum of $5,000. It as feared, if the case were started it could not be finished by Saturday niht at 12 o 'clock and as the court closed at that time it would be virtu ally an acquittal because a mistrial could n.ot be ordered and to call it aain would be twice in jeopardy. The case will not now likely be tried before next summer -as during the spling term, Goodwin 's attorney, Mr. Cole. L. Blease will be in the sen ate. Thecre are- still quite a number of eases on the criminal docket and this is a prohibition county, too. County Teachers. T'ae county teachers' association will meet in the g'raded school build ing in Boundary street on next Sat urav at i1 o'cloek.

Thomas, of Newberry college, will deliver an address on "The Taher's Ideal."' STOU. S AND TR.NSPORTING. Two ITegroes Convicted Before May or Brown-Policeman Watchful.

The Herald and News has not idopted the cash in advance system. and, therefore, we find that a great many of our subscribers owe us for one or more years in arrears.

We need the money now and need all of it.
