Lester chapter, IT. I). C., of Bros pcrity, will meet with Miss Mosele; on Wednesday afternoon ?t 4 o'clock tow THE SESSIONS COURT. t i Ed Jesse Acquitted of Murder?D. G. Livingston Acquitted of Violating Dispensary Law. I ho court of "cuoral sessions finished ihe business before it on Tues?l;:y afternoon and adjourned sine die. It was necessary to continue a number of casus of account of llio absence of 'Mr. Cole. L. Blcase, in the Stat.' senate, and for other reasons, and there were not many cases which could <be disposed of at this .erin. So<veral cases wore tried, (however, and the calendar was somewhat relieved. In many of the important eases Mr. IHcase was counsel, aud these could not be forced to trial while he was absent engaged in the discharge of public duty. I'.d Jesse, colored, was acquitte.l of muider on Tuesday morning. Jesse killed another negro, John llardy, on M'r. Z. (). Whittle's place, in August ol last year. The eye witnesses to the killing made out, in the opinion of the court, a case of self defence, and at the conclusion of the State's testimony Judge Gage directed the .jury to write a verdict of not guilty. I'lie defendant was represented 'by Kugeno S. Blease. Ksq. Jake liyrd, colored, was tried in his absence on the charge of transporting contraband liquor from Laurens county into Nowberr.v count v during July of last year, liyrd was captured by t wo 1.aureus otlicers while liyrd was on his way to Yaugiianx 'He mi Sunday, going to ihurch with a demijohn ami a quart and a pint, lie was convicted, and a sealed sentence awaits him. lie was under bond for his appearance at t-liis term 01 court. Mi'. D. (i. l.?\'iii;isiou, of the Dead Fall section of (he county, was tried on Tuesday morning on the charge ol violal i:itv the dispensary law. Mr. Livingston was acquit ted. lie was indicted in three counts, one charg ULi- selling a .drink labelled "sarsaparilla. containing alcohol, anothei charging him with storing ami keeping alcoholic liquors, ami another with keeping a place where alcoholic liquors we.e sold, hartered and niven away. Dottles were introduced in evidence as having been sold by Mr. Livingston, containing the following label: " Sarsaparilla Tonic. Kxlrael Willi Iodide1 Potash, 2'i per i cent Alcohol. Sugar ('oloring Prepared by John 15. Daniel, Atlanta, f!a. A lilood Purilior. Dose.?One tablespoonful three times a day until relieved. Xo. lo7(). Guaranteed under I no Food and Drugs Act June W), 1SMM5." Constable T. Williams testified that tlie sale of this stuff had been reported to him. and he had warned Mr. Livingston, but that Mr. Livingston continued |n sell it. Messrs. O. R. Dawk ins a.id T. Scurrv Coleman testified that they had I bou-j-hj it from Mr. Livingston to drink as a substitute for whiskey when they were getting off drunks. On cross examination Mr. K. S. lilease. who represented I lie defendant, produced a bottle of Vinol, labelled IS per cent alcohol, and asked Constable Williams if he know that was being sold in Newberry. Mr. v\ illiams said he would inmosti?rate it. lie also produced a mouth wash labelled as containing liS per cent of alcohol. and asked Mr. Williams if lie ku"W that was being sold in Newberry. Mr. lilease's position was thai some alcohol was necessary to preserv-' medicines, and certainly there had been no intention on Mr. Livingston's part of violating the law. The defendant offered in testimony. The jury remained out only a few minutes before returning a verdict of not guilty. Several aippoals from lower courts were dismissed by Judge Gage on Tuesday afternoon, on the ground that they had been on the calendar more than two tonus without a formal order continuing them. This action affirms the judgment of the lower court in these cases. Library Association. The Library association will meet in the labrary rooms on Monday afternoon at four o'clock. Mrs. W. IT.
