Among the reasons that were urged by counsel for the defence for the continuance of the case is that an appeal was taken to the supreme court from a decison of Judge Hvdrick in the matter of bail. Cer tificate from the clerk of the supreme circuit court was without jurisdiction. court in Columbia showing that this '.ppeal had been recorded i. the State supreme court and had never been decided was submitted to Judge Klugh, and it was argued that the circuit court was with jurisdiction. Judge Klugh overruled the objec tion and the trial of the case was proceeded with the araignment of the prisoner being had on Tuesday. Judge D. A.

Pope in Newberr y on Wednesday and secured an order fiom Chief Justice Pope restraining any further pro ceedings in the trial of the case at Union until the appeal now pending before the supreme court could be heard. This cannot be done until the supreme court meets in November, and, therefore, there will be no trial of Jones in Union this week. A FINE RECORD.

On Sunday the sad intelligence of TC the death of Mr. Win. B. Spence, of Columbus, Ga., was received here by Mr. Francis Bobb. -Mr. Spence grew up among us and was one of our TI finest young men. Shortly afte:r his marriage to Miss Sarah Dickert, about 18 years ago he moved to At lanta. For mnore than a year he had been in declining health. Some time ago the doctors info'rmed him that W: he would have to undergo a v'ery dangerous operation. This fact prey ed so upon his mind that it resulted K] in melancholia. The temporary un balance of his mind caused .him, in an unconscious state, to make an at- 3 tempt upon his life Saturday a week ago. He was carried to the hospital s and hopes for his reovery werie en tertained by the attendants and him self for he was shocked and grieved when he became conscious and dis covered what he had done. If he had recovered from a severed windpipe it would ha,ve been ,the first on re cord, therefore it was not surprising. when he became suddenly worse Sat urday and death claimed him. One of his last requests was that his body 4t. be laid to rest at his boyhood's home. Mr. Spenee was 43 years of F( age and it IS a nota6le fact that he held only three positions during his li'fe.
