It wVas reI)Ortetd in Ne&.wblerry yes r1av that about t\welve negroes had inl eenl arrested on last S t unrlay at lt incty Six on the charge of '-oispiracy ev : . :.t they are now in the Green- ea ood jail. to The report was that about fifty egroes had organized and guns had of een ordered from Savannah to be re [ipped to Chappells in trunks. It w1 not known whether the guns fail- wl d to come to Chappells or not on tei ecount of the flood, but if they were stI seeived at Ohappells no one seems > have known of it. do Since the trouble at Ninety Six er ime time ago the negroes have been an rganizing through .their societies and w le matter became known through a ca egro preacher at Greenwood who by ave the names of those who were ci rrested. It is said that they had ma I.nned to kill all of the white men w9 t Ninety Six, and another report is th iat they had selected four who were te > be killed. di The conspiracy seems not to have of een generally known and it was the th urpose to get the ones who were in ivolved in it under arrest and in th til before it was generally known. ea a fact we have seen nothing of the sti tatter in the newspapers yet at all ti< ut the facts as here given were re- pc ted to The Herald and News yes rday by a gentleman from that see He says it is also -rported that 1ey had organized against Cross Hill nid probably other communities. If ie reports are. true the situation is tost alarming, but these matters are ometimes Overdrawn. It is true, Pl owever. that a number of negroes th rom Ninety Six were arrested and a iken to the Greenwood jail on Sat- "f rla v. _________________fe ti, Mr. W. G. Peterson On Vacation Mr. W. G. Peterson, one of Newber y's most genial mail carriers, is at la rasent taking his vacation. Mr. Pet- B1 rson, accompanied by Mrs. Peter .)n and two little girls, recently made I t, visit through .the country 'to -Clin an, Sandy Springs, Tylersville, and ,aurens. Mr. Peterson reports that ea he crops in Lanrens county are bad- g r damaged by the rains of a few th .eeks ago, and that the bridges in se hat county- suffei'ed more than the it nes here as they were nearly a ll s cashed away, and he doubts very m mech if the farmers will realize more H ban two-thirds of 'the crops planted 'a] his year. re A SUGGESTION, hi L Matter in Connection With The e New Court House-A Sugges tion to the Officials. It was observed in the proceedings B. f court in the new court house yes-tl erda.y that the jury -boxes on each c ide are somewhat far from the judge H iaking it difficult for the juries to bi atch distinctly the judge's rulings nd charges except when the judge aise's his voice to a pitch -th.at must e inconvenie.nt and wearisome to im, when the fact is taken into con- gi idera:tion that court goes on a um- f er of days in succession. th As at present arranged the jury w oxes consist of twelve chairs on ither side of the court <house, there 5 eing two rows on each side, of six C( hairs each. It has been' suggested ai bat it would be a good plan to put, nother row of six chairs in front of h1 he two rows on each side, making s ighteen chairs, on each side. Tihe P~ etit jury could then oe.eupy the first ta nd second rows, putting its mem ers nearer to the.judge, and when t be grand jury is in court it would e~ cupy the three rows of chairs ont ne side or the other. UTnder the resent arrangement every time the rand jury comes into court it will e necessary to secure additional tE hairs to accommodate the jnry, the oI rand jury consisting of eighteen th~ tembers. and the jury boxes pr-ovid dl with chairs for only twelve-the va umber ~on a petit jury. f The suggestion. it appears. wouldu hvia'te the. difficulty w,hich will bef xperienced by the judge in making le imself heard by the petit juries, and bie inconvenience of providing extra hairs every time the grand jury omesinto the .court. thl It i.s simp1.y given here for what the fficials: may think it is worth. It appears to '. Tube Herald and P ews: that it' is an excellent sugges- 'a lon. The court house is one of the se :mn1lom.-t and most niodern in outh Carolina or in this section of 4 le country, and this is a slight in- m onvenienee which could be easilyt nad effectivel remedied. ta REMOVE THE MOSQUITO. -oducing Malaria Fever-Stagnant Pools of Water a Fruitful Source of Mosquitoes. O('ne of th1e 11ysicians of the city, a(tive practice, states that in the .1 week he 11as attended about forty e Of malaria fever and in every she attributes the cause directly the mosquito sting. We mention this to call attention the people to the importance of moving as far as possible all causes ich produce the mosquito. and ien that is done to an effort to pro -t tihemselves by screens from the ug of the mosquito. After the heavy -rains there are no ubt places left where stagnant wat is standing. and this. of course. is unfailing source of mosquitoes. It >ild be much easier to remove the use than to cure the disease, and a little care on the part of our :izens we could get rid of these >squito producing pools of stagnant ter. We suppo"e, of course, that e !health officer is giving this mat r attention, but as he has other ties to look after the co-operation the people should also le given for eir own pro)teetion. The physician question seems to have no doubt at the large number of malaria cases n be traced directly to the mosquitt in. It is a matter of selfpreserva m. Make war on the stagnant ols of water.

First Court Held in The New Build i ing Convened Yesterday, Judge Memminger Presiding. "Te :ir-t enil of court hell in the t ellua cnt h;s ulsc"e eovilVeed vest e rda V morning. Judge R. Withers Menniin eer. f (alirleston. presidin g. There i were n, formal ceremonies in the nature of a dedication of the new tem ple of justice. The fact tihat it was the first term of court held in the new building was not formally men tioned. The building, however, spoke for itself. It is oe of the handsomest court houses in South Carolina, or in this sectiii of the South. Judge Mem minger in private conversation with the members of the bar and other cit izens expressed himself as delighted with the building as a whole, and with the convenient arrangement of the court room, and the jury rooms and retiring rooms. The court which converted yester day morning was the fall term of the common pleas court. Had it ,been a terni of the court of general ses sions, with the grand jury in atten dance. the presiding judge would have had an opportunity. in his gen eral charge to the grand jury, to cay something in regard to the new building. The court being a term of the common pleas court, however, there was no opportunity for any re marks of this kind, and the court proceeded with the ordinary .routine of business. The court convened at exactly ten o'clock. The petit juries were called, and Judge Memminger then called the eases which had 'been set for tri al. a roster having been arranged by the bar. The first ease set for trial on the roster Wvas continued by consent of counsel on both sides, and several otiher eases were disposed of in like manner. The first ease in which a trial was asked for was that of Bouk night v. the Southern railway, the plaintiff being represented by Messrs. Hunt. Hunt and Hunter, and the de fendant railway company by Messrs. Johnstone and Cromer. The plain tiff's attorneys announced ready. The defe.ndant's attorneys stated that they did not desire a continuance, but that several material witnesses for the defence had not arrived, but were e:xpected on the train reaehing Ne wberry at 1.40 o'clock. Judge Memminger stated that he would not force the ease to a trial at that time, but that a.fter the dinner hour the ease would be forced to trial.. A preliminary motion on the part of'counsel to strike out certain alle gations in _the complainft was heard by Judge Memmninger, this being the first bus'ness actually tak-en up in the new court .house. The motio'n prevailed in part, and was overruled in part. Judg~e Memminger, who is holding this term of the eourt, comes from Charleston. He was elected judge when the number of circuits in this State was increased at the session of the legislature in 1905 from. eight to ten. He is perhaps the youngest man on the circuit bench in Soubh Carolina, but he is one of the strong est members of the State's judiciary. He presides with' dignity and. firm-' ness.. His rulings are prompt and de cisive. . His aim is to mete out jus tice and to dispatch -business, and he succeeds.. This is Judge Memminger's second term as presiding judge in this circuit. He held the Newberry courts in the fall of 1905, and the celebrated ease of McCarley v. the Glen-Lowry Mfg. Co., was tried before hbim. REEDY RIVER ASSOCIATION.
