Mr. J. L. Burns, a merchant in low er Main street, has been missiig some pocket knives from his si.e for some time. He suspec.ed Lihat sowe one was either enteriug t*ae stote af ter he had closed or tint wey w- re stolen .through the day but he caiher thought ith-at the store was being en tered at night. On Saitudxay nigc iie employed Mr. 1. 0. 1>rcon, formerly of the Newberry police force, to watch the store during the night. Po liceman E. N. Austin was with Mr. Iarton a portion of the time and at a quarter past twelve o'clock they &aw a negro boy go to the back door of the store, a door which is not of ten used, and prize it open and enter. They immediately followed him into the store and found Will Haigler, Jr., a negro boy twelve -or fourteen years old, to be the person who entered. He was arrested and he told the officers that another negro had sent him into the store and that they would find this negro in hiding under the cotton pLatLform. Policeman Austin remain ed to watch 'the platform while Mr. Burton earried Haigler to the police station. On 'the way to the station Haigler 'told Mr. Burton that another negro was at this same time in Mr. J. W. White's store. Mr. Burton re turned with Haigler and let him climb a tiee near the store of Mr. Whit-e and he entered .through a win dow. P,lieema-n Austin remained on guard at the platform. There was another negro in Mr. White's store but instead of Haigler returning with him to Mr. Burton both he and Haigler jumped from the third story window of Mr. White's store to .the-'roof of his dwelling house a,nd ran for their liberty. In the meantime Mr. Burton had aroused Mr. White and 'they fired af ter the two negroes bat failed to bring them to a stop. They both made good their -escape. Policeman Austi;n, however, captur ed Haigler Sunday afternoon at the home of his pareults, and he is now in jail on the charge of house breaking and larceny awaiting trial at the ses sions court. He was very much bruis ed up on acount of jumping from the window .and can scarcely walk. The other negro has not been arrested though Policeman Austin has his name a.nd hias -a warrant sworn out for him and expeet's to capture him soon. Mr. White has missed several pis tols from hi's store during the past few weeks and it is probable that 'these boys have been committting these robberies for sometime taking only small articles.

Jary for March Term and Grand Jury -Small Criminal Docket-Judge Prince to Preside. The court of general sessions will convene in Newberry on Monday, March 15th, with Judge George E. Prince presiding. In looking over ithe docket there seems to be practically nothing con tinued from the last term of the ses sions~court, Ju;dge Memminger having about cleared .the docket. As is usually the case, however, just before court there seems to be an epidemic of crimes, and it is probable that there will be a pretty fair dock et for the court when it convenes. The grand jury for the year was drawn on last Friday, and the petit jury for the March term. There are only four prisoners in jail aiwaiting trial. though several are on bond. The following is the jury: Grand Jury. R. M. Caldwell. J. W. Hipp. L. C. Pitts. G. W. Summer, Jr. J. McDuffie Schumpert. G. H. Cromer. W. Hub Enlow. H. T. Cannon. T. H. Brock. J. M. Lester. M. L.

Supreme Courts Affirms Lower Court -Case May Go to United States Supreme Court. It is probable that there will be some aetion within the iext few days looking towards taking the ease of the State v. G. Wash Hunter, convict ed of manslaughter, to the supreme court of the United States. Hunter, who is under senttence of eight years, was convicted in February, l08, and he 'appealed to the supreme court of this State. During the past several days the supreme court has rendered an opinion affirming the judgment of the lower court. Unless the remittitur should be stayed pe.nding some other steps in the case, Hunter would begin the serv.iee of his sentence on Satur (lay. The Hunter case has been hotly contested and has created a great deal of interest throughout the State. Hun ter was e iarged with murder in the killing i . Elbert F. Copeland, during a poker game in the store of R. Lee Hunter, a brother of G. Wash Hun ter, near Goldville, in the lower pait of Laurens county. Hunter was tried first before Judge James Ald rich, 'at Laurens, in September, 1906, and was convicted of manslaughter. Judge Aldrich set aside this verdict on 'account of irregularities in the management of the jury while it had the case under consideration. Du,ing this same iterm of court Hunter was again tried before Judge Aldrich, and the jury failed to agree and a mistrial was ordered. Again in may, 1907, before Judge Watts, and in Sepbem ber, 1907, before Judge Gary, the case resulted in mistrials. FollowinJ the 1trilal before Judge Gary the State moved for a change of venue, whih was granited, the ease being transfar red to Greenwood county, where Hun ter was tried before Judge Gage, in February, 1908. and convicted of manslaughter, Judge Gage sentencing the defendant to serve eight years at hard labor. The appeal -to the supreme court was on a number of grounds, includ ing the question of jurisdiction, and elceptions in regard to the admission and exclusion of evidence, and the judge's charge. All of the execp tions were overruled by the supreme court. In order to 'take a ease of this kind into the Federal supreme court, it is necessary ito show that Federal ques tons are involved. The appeal in the Hunter ease contained *a number of exeptions raising constitutional ques tions' and it is presumed that if *a writ of error is aplplied for to go to the Federal supreme eoart, it will be on the ground that the defendant has the right to have these constitutional questions reviewed by the Federal court.

The pastor preached on " The Greatest Battle in the World.". basing his sermon on the temptation of Jesus. The music at this service was heard with much pleasure.

At the evening service a large con gregation filled the auditorium. The pastor preached a sermon to women. Text: Ezekiel 16 :44. "As is the mother. so is her daughter.'' The lessons were drawn friom the life of H-annah portrayed in I Sam. -1. He showed that t.he sum and substance of her beautiful, godly, and influential life were fonnd in four sentences. 1. She loved her husb)and. 2. She loved her home. :1. She loved and worshipped God. 4. She was a woman of prayer. Thre pastor laid special stress on te fact that the tr:1ining of the clil dren is largely in the hands of the mothers of today, and yet there are n 'r things t'o take them away from~ thl'eir .nomes and chil dre.i. One of the~ saddest things confronting the peopPle of the South today is :he fact tha thousands of little children are in the 1lands of servants. Th:is when Itheir minds are tender. and their enarner abeing formed the': are in t :da (of a1 rare onl a lit:le miore Ithan t)ri V years from!i slaver.y.
