Attorney Rhume argued a motion for a rew trial upon the -round that the verdict was not w.'arranted by the evidence, and as counsel aid in his argument the verdict was a sur rise to all those who beard the testimony. .udge Gxary granted the motion and re :iaked that the testimony showed the ex tortion of a contession by the tuost shock ing methods5. Under the circumstances, his con.ience would make him hesitate to sentence tue prisoners. A new trial was rntdad the pris.onetrs w.~ere adtiitted to bail in the sum of $200J each. This is the case where the parties were charged with breaking into the cotton house of -\r. H. S. Briggs and stealing a quantity of seed, and the testimony showed that some otf the parties charged were forced to con fss under the most trying c:rcuimstances. The case of JaCk MIurry, charged with as sault and battety, was called, and the de fendant rose and entersd a piea of guilty, remarking that he would as soon risk tue judge as the jury, and begged for mercy.

The goods are here and must be sold. and in order to sell them we are going to sell them at least 25 per cent. cheaper than ever before. I will save you 25 cents on every dollar's worth of goods you buy from me. You know very well that you cannot af ford to pay high prices for your goods at the present pricc of cotton. and if I will save you 25 per cent., I think you should give me a part of your trade. I am just from New York. Baltimore and Boston and have selected my stock myself. This is not like buying from diuimers. for vo know if you send to town for anything, this is not like going yourself. If you go you can get what you want. So that :.- the way in buving from drummers they will send you what they want to. not what yon want. I selected my stock myself and they are all new goods of the latest styles. They have not been in stock for three or four years. but direct from the factory. They are not like some of our competi tors say, old stock or bankrupt stock. When yon hear a man say anything like that. lie wants some bankrupt stock or has some old goods about ten years old that he would like to pit off on you, and you had better watch him or he will fool vou. This certainly is the way of it or he would not think of such a thing. Don't believe them. We buy our goods direct. pay cash and get all the discounts, and sell them cheaper. yes. 25 per cent. cheaper. Watch this space next week and we will give you prices that will inake you think the New York Rlacket is the cheap est store in the world. S0. VW. KENDA.LL, Proprietor.
