On the sixth page of this issue of rhe Herald and News there appears in article - utitled "Jones Before Dourt,'" which is copied from and !redited to the Columbia State. The :orm in which that article appears vent to press before The Herald and Teivs discovered that W. ,T. Jones >ersonally - was not ,before. the su reme court, nor was his son, as is tated ia that article. The- arbicle in question is in ref rence to the argument in the su >reme court of the case of the State 7s. W. T. Jones, charged with wife nurder, in Union co-ulity. Jones %as convicted of- murder, with rec mmendation to mercy, and was sen enced to life imprisonment in the 3tae -;penitentiary. B?e appealed, Lmd his appeal was heard in the su >reme court on Tuesday. The article - copied from the Co tmbia State says: "With his little boy at his side W. [. Jones, the Union county farm(r vho was convicted of killing his ife, Ii.Tened to arguments in his rwn behalf in thie supreme court yes erday. While his attorneys were aking earnest pleas for. a new trial rones sat with lowered eyes and iow and then his face betrayed some f the emotion that must have been urking in -his heart. The detailed tory of .the crime -with which he is barged seemed to move him most ,n,d- it could be plainly seen that the aemory .of that fatal night when his ouang wife went to her death bore leeply upon. him." Th4t is all very pretty, but the lip in the cog is that Jones was not n, the supreme court room, and not n Columbia, at all. The Herald and fews was in communication with 'heriff J. G. Long, of Union county, -esterday afternoon, and Sheriff ong stated that Mr.'Jones had been ut- of the Union jail oily twice inee his imprisonment-onee on mo ion: for bail and the other time dur ag his trial in Union. Nor, said heriff Long, was Mr. Jones' son in bilumbia. 'The article in the, Columbia State oes on to say: "Exercising the ight given under the laws the. de. endantt appeared at the supreme urt. He wore a light gray fait, as carefully groomed and alto ether gave the ap.pearane'e of~, being proseperous man." Seriff Long, in his long distanee ~lephone conversation' with The [erald and Nekws yesterday after oon; said that Mr. Jones did. not ven have a light suit of clothes. Sheriff Long said he had no idea Dw the story originated. The fact remalins that the case as argued'in the supreme court on uesday morning. It is equally clear at neither Mr. Jones nor his son as present, Mr. Jones -being' in the nion jail,:at the time. Following the publication of the ory that Mr.; Jones and his 'son ere -present at the hearing .in4 the ipreme court, and the pathetie ory in regard thereto, the .rumor~ ame current that Mr. Jones all e time was in the Union jail. .In der to set the matter straight .The erald and News got in' comnri ion with Sheriff J. G. Long, of1 nion county, yesterday afternoon, 2-d with the result stated above. Cl. George Johnstone made the ading argument for the defence on ie hearing before the supreme court.

Devega, of Chester, and Miss Carrie Pool, of Newberry, were married yesterday at 3 o'clock in the parlors of the -Hotel Jerome, Rev. K. G. Finley, rector of Trinity church, [performing the ceremony. While this well knoiviu hostelry makes no pretensions of being a rival to the '''little church around the corner" of matrimonial fame, it is probable that the littile church has never wit nesstd a prettier wedding, than the nuppials in Columbia yesterday af ternoon. Mr. Devega is proprietor of 'the Chester Drug company and one of the most popular young business men' of his native city. He is a son of the late Dr. Sumter Devega, who was one of the be-st known of South Carolina -physicians. .The bride is a daughter of T. C. Pool, an extensive piter and business man of New berry.

Pe den, of Chester, was best man. It .was at first proposed that the two couples and the minster .should compose the weddiAg party but be fore' the hour for. the happy event rolled around, a numiber of other friends. of the contracting parties were found to be in the city and they were in attendance. Anotg those present nyere: Miss Tilson, of Brtsvlle; W. H. Peden, of Che ter; Miss Mattie Mae 2Nevile, of Clinton; Dr. John ;Atki.nson, of'Ches ter; Dr. Madison Ross, of Chester;.

While the parents of the cou ple were not informed of the mar-. riage until that event had been con - chided, the manriage was not a has tily arranged one and the plans for the ceremony that- had been careful ly made were carried ont in perfect aecord. IMr. and Mrs. Devega will leave this afiternoon for Chester, whiere they will reside. COTTON MARKET. (Corrected by Nat Gist.)'
