Four Negro Men Charged With Unique Ofense. Ding dong deli, Dog's in the well; *Who put him iu ?~ Mr. Belton Stoekman swears to the best of his knowledge and belief that Julius Kinsler, Jdhn Kawkins, Mack Jackson and Forrest Davis did. War rants were issued against them by Magistrate Chappell, and they were arrested way down near Holley 's ferry, on Saluda river, in No. 9 -'township, on Friday .by Constable Cannon G. Blease and Mr. B. T. Bish ep,*and are now in jail awaiting trial on the charge. Mr. Stockman, who lives four miles .south of' Prosperity, has a well by the roadside, w4ere travelers often stop to drink and to water their hors es, and he never objects; in fact, 'iae takes pleasure in providing this ac commodation for the public. On the night. of October 28th-circus day in Newberry-a crowd of negroes in wagons were returning to -thpir homes and stopped at the well to water their teams. Mr. Stockman 's dog, said to have been a good . dog, was at the well,~.and -some one or more persons threw it in the well, and it was drowned; or it may have been killed and Vlhen thrown in. Mr. Stoekman 's family knew nothing about it, and the next day continued to use the water for cooking and * drinking; in fact they did not dis cover that there was anything the matter with the water,. until the mules ref used to drink it; then an investi,gation revealed the presen?ce of the dead dog. Mr. St.oegman made further investigations, which led him to believe that the four men named above threw the dog in the well, and he took out the warrant against them. The action is brought under Section 121 of the criminal -code, which makes it a crime to put poison into wells or springs.-The Observer. Golden Rule Encampment No. 25, I. 0. 0. F., will meet at Klettner's Hall the 4th Monday night in each month at 8 o'clock. C. G. Blease, Chief Patriar.ch. W. G. Peterson, Sribe THE SESSMONS COURT. Pleas of Guilty Taken Yesterday Morning.-Number of Cases on Docket for Trial. The fall term of the general ses sions court for Newberry county con vened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, with Judge S. W. G. Shipp, of Florence, presiding. The court. will be in sessioh only this week, no jury having been driwn for next week. While there are a number of eases on the docket, it is thought .that they can be disposed of during this week, and a good start was made yesterday morning when several pleas of guil ty were taken in cases which would have required considerable time to try. Solicitor Cooper and all the other officers of the court were on hand when court convened yesterday morn ing. A number of bills were handed out. to the grand jury. JUdge Shipp, in iharging the grand jury, stated that he would not go into a lengthy charge as to their general duties for the reason that they had been charged by two judges who had preceded him during this year. He, however, call ed attention to the oath which they had taken,- in that they were to pre sent no man on account of enmity or fail to present any man on account of friendship. 4 grand juror, he said, had great power,'holding one of the most important offices which a citi zen could hold. "The law and order of your county," he said, "depends to a large extent on your discharge of your duties. Your duties are not confined to the bills which the Solici tor has handed out, but wherever.it comes to your knowledge that. there is any violation of law, then it. - is your sworn duty' to. present .7any per son who has violated the law, it makes no difference who he .is. It makes no difference about his social position or whether h is a man of wealth or a poor man, every one stands equal before the law, and any one, no mat ter who he is, who violates the law, should be made to face a jury of his countrymen. Judge Shipp then took up the spe cific bills of indictment which had been handed out to the grand- jury and gave a clear. charge on the law as to eaeh offence charged. Eliiott Gallman and Melvin Wilson, both colored, pleaded guilty to man slaughter on a charge of murder in the killing of Nueks Tucker in Au gust, 1908. The case was investigated by Solieitor Cooper, who agreed af ter a thorough investigation to aecept a plea of manslaughter. Gallman was sentenced to serve five years and Wil son three years. The defendants were represented by Eugene S. Blease, Esq. Jonas Sulton, colored, pleaded guil ty in two cases to forgery.' One ease charged him with presenting to Shel ley and Summer, of this city, a false check, with the signature of WV.Chas. Shealy, for $17.50 in May of this year, and the other case charged him with presenting a oheek to Summer Brothers, for $15.75, purporting to be signed by C. F. Lathan. Both checks were on the Farmers and Mer chants' Bank of Little Mountain. Judge Shipp sentenced Sulton to serve one year and. to pay a fine of one dollar in each case, one sentencee to begin aft'er the expiration of the other. Constable Cannon G. Blease :raed these checks and followed the] evidences to t.he defendant, who has finally pleaded guilty, and in doing so performed a very clever piece of work. The pleas of guilty yesterday morn ing probably saved the court several. days' work. The grand jury returned, .a true bill in the case of the State vs. John Wheeler and Theodore Wheeler, harged with murder, and a no bill in the case against Odell Scott, nlarged with murder. Upon the convening of court yes terday morning only twelve of -the ~rand jurors were present. The fol1 lowing three extra jurors were drawn and sworn: W. L. Reighley, J. Taz Senn, C. M. West. After a thorough investigation So liitor Cooper concluded that the State's witnesses did not make out a ease against Love Philips, colored, charged with murder, and he nolt po~sed the case upon the payment of 25 .00 for carrying concealed weap-L ons the only count upon which the Solicitor could have asked for a ver-: dict. The Langf?ord case was conti.nued on motion of the defendant 's attor rieys. - The Baracas. : The Baraca business meeting will, e held Tuesday evening, No'vember 6, 1909. at 8:30 o'clock, at :he res dence of Mr. and Mrs. J.

'This morning in . the Clerk of ourt's office there were three sher Afs, all of them old Confederate sol liers, viz: J. B. Hunter, of Bamberg,' J. H. Lightsey, of Hampton and M. N. Buford, of Newberry. The men who wore the grey can usually be de pended upon and trusted in any posi tion. It will be remembered that 3eriff Buford was the man who cap ured the noted criminal, who was wanted in three counties, . UTlysses iay, last summer. Whenever he gets :i the trail1 of an evil doer he had just as welr give up for if he is in his country he is going to have him. -Bamberg Times, Nov. 11. The governor to-day paid a reward f $100 to Sheriff Buford of New berry for the capiture of- an alleged egro murderer named Mays, charged with the killing of Shelly Paul in Bamberg in April, 1907. Sheriff Buford caught Mays after n exciting chase from Aiken through eorgia and Florida and back to Edgefield. Sheriff Buford is one of :he- best sheriffs in the~ State at this sort of work. He seems to have a spe sial talent for 'running down negroes f the kind. Like a cat after a mouse e is always on the job and almost by ~nstinet he knows how to promptly at with results.. He catches these sort of criminals not only in his own ~onty, but is constantly picking up :hose wanted in various other coun :ies of the State.-Columbia Record, gov. 12. College Lyceam.

The change of schedule on the C. & G. division of the Southern about which so much has been said, went in to effect on Sunday. It is practically the schedule advo cated by The Herald and News be fore the final action was taken, and suits th6 people of Newherry very much. We copy a statement from the Greenville News, which gives the ar rival and departure of the trains from Greenville and Columbia. There is practically no change in the sched ule at Newberry, exeept on No. 18, which formerly passed Newberry for Columbia at 1:40 p. m. It now passes at 10:57 a. m. This will give an op portunity for people as far up the road as Ninety Six to come to New berry and spend four hours returning to their homes the same afternoon. And the people who live down the road as far as Columbia can come to Newberry on the morning :tIrain and have two hours here, returning home by noon. The following is the arrival of thej trains at Newbersy: No. 15 for Greenville, 8:55 a. m. No. 18 for ,Columbia, 10:57 a. m. No. 11 for Greenville, 2:48 p. m. No. 16 for Columbia, 8:59 p. m. The change in the schedules on the C. & G. division of the Southern rail way, which have be n for such a long time worked for by the people all along the line, will go into efect to-day. The Pullman service 6n' this line went on October 25; and since then, -the traffic on the line has in creased to some extent. The new schedules will be more -convenient to Greenville people, and no doubt tk passengers all along the line from greenville to Columbia will 'feel that the change is much for the better. The revised schedules are as follows: Train 18, leave Greenville 7:00 a. m., arrive Columbia 12:45 p. m., ' Train 11, leave Columbia same as present, arrive Greenville same as present. Train 16, leave Greenville 5:15 p. m., arrive Columbia 10:30 p. m. Train 15, leave Columbia 7:15 a. in,. arrive Greenville 12:30 p. mn. Train. 17, leave .Greenwood 5 :45 a. in., arrive Greenville, 8:25 a. .u., (connect with No. 42). . Train 20, leave Greenville 9:30 a. mn., arrive Belton 10:50 a. m. . Train 21, leave Belton 2:00 p. mn., arrive 'Greenville 3:10 p. mn. (connect with No. 28.) Train 22, leave Greenville 3:45 p. mn., arrive Greenwood 6:45 p. mn., (connect with No. 11 at Greenville). Trains 20 and 21 make connection with the Blue Ridge Railway at Belton. Greenville people and all those living in the cities aloag the line should certainly appreciate the change of schedules, for they have been brought to pass only at the expense of much gray matter and heated dis cussions between the railroad people and the committees from the different cities which wanted .better accoming dations on this division of the South ern, and after all they are only a compromise of the original requests made by the committees. 50 Dozen 10c.
