Walker Inissed the purse, and. i'emembering that this girl was the only one present outside of the store people. Policeman C'lark was notified and he at once set in on the case. He found the girl had made some purchases in the store of ~r. Louis Levi. and traced the matter uptil he got the little miscreant. who confesed her guilt, and took the po liceman to a place between Rigby s andi the Rhame law office. wher'e she nadi hid the pturse in the weeds by the fence. Mr. C.lark recovered the bulk of the money and turned it over to the owner. Court. The spring term of court opened last Monday with his Honor Judge G. W. Gage, presiding. At the hour for the court to open His Honor was engagevd in the hearing of a motion foi a tempo rarv injunction against parties who are engaged in fishing and dredging for oysters in waters in Georgetown. He had the argument suspended and then proceeded to open court. As soon as the usual organizing proceedings were completed. His Honor charged the -rand jury- on the bills of indictment handed him by the Solicitor. after which the grand jury retired. Later ther returned with the following true bills. State vs Wil Martin Burglary and Lareeny: State vs Jake Plowden Viola tion Dispensary law in two cases. William Martin was charged with the entering and robbing the house of Mr. Thos. Nimnier in this town. He was found guilty and sentenced to five years on the chain gang. Jake Plowden pleaded guilty to the charge of violating the dispensary law and he was sentenced to 9 months on the chain gang or pay a fine of $200. There remains another case against him which may not be pressed if the prisoner behaves. The case attracting the most interest being that against Joe Evans. charged with obtaining property by false pre tenses. It seems that Evans is a horse trader by occupation. and he traded a mare to' Stanley McKnight. colored. making representations which proved to be false. He represented the mare as being sound. and without blemish. and according to McKnight she turned out to be stifle jointed and had other intirmities. That her ailment was of ancient origin which was known to Evans and all those who had an inti mate knowledge of her. Evans made a general denial of the charges alleged in the indictment, but admitted the mare's balking proclivities. He in sisted that when he traded with M1c Knight the mare was not lame. and among the witnesses who testitied in his behalf on this point. was Mr. E. L. Wilkins. who at one timr' before the trade owned the animal. The jury after being in the room a good while came out and announced their inability to agree on a verdict. The Judge re minded them that mistrials were ex pensive, and he expressed the hope they would. when they went back into the room. come to an agreement. They retired for a second time and finally re turned without an agreement. Where upon a mistrial was ordered. Inquiry illicited the information that nine jurors favored conviction while three remain ed steadfast for acquittal. His Honor signed the general orders. and then opened up the court, of common pleas where he heard arguments in appeal cases from Mazistrates. The case of Barwick vs Barwark. the decission of Magistrate's court was confirmed. He also signed orders in other civil mat ters. Judge Gage made a verv favorable impression by his quick and easy man ner in disposing of matters before him. This is his first visit here. and the members of the Bar and those attend ing court express words of commenda tion. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. I Clarendon County. cOURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS-JUNE TERM. 1900. To His Honor Judge G. W. Gage. Pre siding: We. the Grand Jury, have acted on all bills handed us by the Solicitor, and not wishing to unnecessarily )rolong ur- stay at expense of the county. would ay that we have appointed a time of eeting at the court house of said coun v to examine into the books and ac ounts of the several ofiees and will report same at next term of court. We have hear-d no complaint as re ards roads, bridges. etc.. from any sec ion of the county, but regret to bring o the attention of the cour-t the matter f some telephone lines being put on public roads. rendering the tr-avel on same dui-ing an electric storm abso lutely dangerous. We would recom mend that parties owning said lines be required to keep the wires up and not to allow saging of same to the damage >f public travel. It has been bi-ought to our attention that the present cor-oner- has of late held n inquest of irregular form and we recommend that the Board of County Commissioners examine into the mat ter and if any irregularity, that the mount for holding said inquest be paid back by the coroner to the county.

It has reached the ears of the Sena tor of this county that there is an im pression trying to be created by certain of his political opponents to the effect that in the last session of the General Assembly he senured the passage of a bill to place the clerk of court's office on a salary in lieu of fees, ostensibly to save money to the people. when in fact he had the law so framed that it would increase the Senator's charges for ad vertising by giving his paper more ad vertising to do. In order to intercep~t such an ~ wr-ession we will state that under tile adlvertising arrangemenrt the ounty has with this newspaper it is an utter'impossibility for the advetrtising account to becotme any lartgetr than it has been for sevetral years. for the rea son that this newspap~er is under con tract to do all of the county printing all notices emanating from county offices and others which at-c to be p)aid fot- from the county trecasui-y at a stipulate-d con tract priice, matter-s not how mnuch is to be done. Then, again, if there was uo such conti-act, the law fixes a miaximuma price "-not exceeding $60 a yeai- fot- the publication of the Supervisor's quar terly reports. It will thus be seen that while under the act placing the clerk of court's of ie on a salary and r-eqtuiring his item ied repor-ts to the supet-visor to be p)ub lished therxe is no priovision for- addition al pay for advertising and therefore the suervisor could not pay any moi-e than he does at present and has done fot years past. We deem it pr~oper to make this explanation to 1)revent false un pressions. This p~ap~er is not only under contract to putblish the notices enia nating fr-m the county oflices. but all school notices froem trustees is incltuded 'in the contr-act.

Editor The Manning Times: News, fresh, sad or gay, if it is true I know you will appreciate as edi tor of your valuable and interesting paper which is circulated so far and wide, and its readers learn from its columns each week the doings and sayings of both county and State. We wish to report the news of the military investigation held at Packs ville on May 24th, and in doing so we shall endeavor to render unto Ca!sar the things that are Ciesar's. As you have stated before in the columns of THE TIMEs there was trouble in the camp of the Connor Mounted Rifles brought about by Capt. D. E. Wells' efforts to take his men to Privateer to man(muver and withholding the: State's appropriation from the com pany. This trouble seemed to rise to a terrible pitch until the Adju tant General directed Capt. D. E. Wells and the command to assemble at Packsville on May 24th, and as, the sun rose higher in the morning the troops began to fill the pleasant little village of Packsville until it re minded us of days of war; here and there in squads of soldiers you couid see them and hear them discussing the coming issues with a determina tion in the eye of every soldier. Cap tain Wells with some if his men from Sumter was a little apart and seemed to be prospecting for the coming bat tle which was delayed by the disap pointment of the general not getting off at the old Manchester depot as agreed. We directed the convey-, ance back to Packsville with notice that he would come on the 3 o'clock train, and as the train slowed up at: the station there was a rush to see the general. each vieing to greet him. first, but the general was not able to come and he sent Colonel Frost to represent his office. This young of ficer was escorted to the Packsville Academy, where the issues were joined by two attorneys, Capt. V. C. Davis, representing the Connor Rifles, and Mr. Mark Reynolds, rep resenting Captain Wells. By this time the academy was filled to over flowing. Capt. W. C. Davis opened the case: with an able and forcible address. His military training proved a valu able factor on this special occasion. Coupled with his legal ability he demonstrated that the only alterna tive was for Capt. D. E. Wells to re sign his commission and deliver un the property of the Connor Mounted Rifles, ase o captain could success fully lead men that did not want im. Mr. Mark Reynolds did the best he. ould, but all to no avail. Colonel Frost directed that every: ember of the company who was on he inspection roll (which he called t the time) that was opposed to go ng to Privateer to drill alternately with Packsville to stand up and 29 tood up. Thme negative vote was: ptut and 7 stood up. The remaining: ortion of the company could not vote as their names were not on the inspection roll. A good number of the members that were on the in spection roll wvere absent, I suppose :id not learn of the meeting in time. It appears that forty-odd names of the company was signed to a peti tion to the Adjutant General asking; for the resignation of Captain Wells: long with other complaints this w~as anded to Colonel Frost. Captain Wells handed up a copy of THE MAN NIN TIMEs to Colonel Frost, asking iim to correct the error published in that paper by your correspondent; :ne week previous, when it stated that the Adjutant General was mis led as to the drilling at Privateer, etc. Colonel Frost stated that the paper lhe read from was THE TIMEs, edited by Senator Appelt, and he would say that the statement was not correct. Captain WVells presented his wvrit ten resignationi with agreement that e was to deliver the property and; appropriation of the cor'.inpany to the' proper authority (except a small' amount for gloves and band expen ses of the committee which went to Columbia). It appears that Captain Wells had a barbecue at Privateer nd an effort was made to charge thei mount against the appropriation, but it failed. After Captain Wells~ resigned, the petition asking for his resignation was not read. It is just to say that Colonel Frost did his best to be fair in his decision and kind and true to his fellowv sol dier, and we extend to him our high est app~reciation for so many kind words for that grand and memorable old company. the Connor Mounted Rifles. He told them lie would soon ship them new uniformns and Krag rifles and equipments, and from all I could learn newv life and fresh vigor has set in with that grand old corn pany and wvhen the next inspection~ comes it will, as ini the past, be see ond to none, but always ready to obey orders as true soldiers for their county and State. I notice in the Sumter Herald that Captain Wells at the barbecue at Privateer had raised a comn paiiy of fifty men there. Captain Wells said that only two lieu tenants wvere elected there to fill thme vacancies in the Connor Mounted Rifles and men to swell the ranks of the old company. Col. Frost told theim however if they raised the coin pany commissions wvould be issued. He mnade an earliest apmpeal for unity and thanked them for so many cour tesies and bade the soldiers good-bye and Mr. Reynolds and Colonel Frost took the cannon ball express in the way of a dump car to Sumter the sanie evening and calmness soon set tIed over the busy little village again.

ALL THAT LOUD TALK ABOUT THE CHEAPEST STORE Might be very confising and misleading if people did not have a good test to apply, and that is, judge a merchant not by what he says in his advertise ments. but by what he does in value giving.
