TIE CS OF COTURT. The Figures Given in View of the Recent Discussion as to the Court. T'lilere las.; been some disenssion )f thle N)St to Newberry of thie one day's criminal court held here last week. Th expenditures of the court, accord ing to the amounts paid out by the treasurer, were as follows: Jurors, $177.60; bailiffs, $16.50; witnesses, $5.70; total $199.80. The county treasurer stated that there were prob ably a half dozen jury tickets still unpaid, and that they would probably average $3.00, which would make the total a little over $200. Of course the salaries of the court officials go on just the same whether the term is long or short. To the above amount, of course, should be added the cost of summon ing the jury. There were only three new cases to be disposed of by the court. One of these was an assault and battery case, in which the facts did not jus tifv a verdict of guilty, and the ne oro was promptly acquitted. Another of the new cases was against a negro for using a mule without the consent of the owner. After looking into the case, the Solicitor decided there I was nothing in it, and transferred it to the contingent docket, which means that it will probably be dismissed at the next court. The third case was against a negro charged in two in dictments with forgery, which case was continued on account of the sick ness of his counsel. Several cases had been brou%t ov er, from the former term. Of these, on account of the condition of the crops and the urgent necessity for immediate farm labor, Solicitor Coop i er decided to continue misdemeanors of minor importance, where farm la borers would be kept from the farms as witnesses, in addition to keeping jurors in attendance upon the court 1onger than was absolutely necessary. I He, however, pressed for trial in cases which he thought demanded a trial at this term. These, however, were con tinued, for various reasons which ap pealed to the sound discretion of the presiding judge. Newberry will have two weeks of criminal court in the fall, which will be ample to dispose of all the busi ness. AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Manager of Amus-U to Present a Large Vaudeville Attraction, Beginning Monday. The manager of the Amus-U thea 'tre has procu.red an extra large as well as good vaudeville bill, to be pre sented at the opera house for three days, beginning Monday, June 28. On account of t:he small stage at ;lhe Amus-U, it will be impossible to play so many people there, and in order to give a first class production the mana ger of the Amus-U has made ar rangement to use the opera house for this attraction only. The head liners of this bill are well ~known to the peopl-e of Newberry, having played here before. They are Taylor and Crawford, who will be remembered with pleasure there. Be *sides these two stars, there are Miss Edith Murrilla. a singing and danic in commedienne, and Billy Van, the wvill known minstrel man. presenting his monologue of songs, dancing, andl ,funny sayings. Taylor and Crawford bill themselh s as originators of fun and well hia up to their title. With the good sup port of Billy Van and Miss Edit'1 'Murrilla they will undoubtedly pre ent one of the - funniest sketehies fever present-ed .here. The quick ness of Taylor and Crawford in changing so many costumes is mysti fying to any audicence, as they no sooner leave the stage, in one cos tume. than they almost immediately Ireturn in anothet:. The manager has made arrangements with these people to change their bill every night. Prices, 10 and 15 cents. Barebcue at Mr. J. P. Wicker's.
