If these boys were taught from or infancy that home was the proper place te for them after dark, rather than prow ling around the streets, annoying well th and sick people alike, much of this mys- w tery might be explained, and young men be with better moral character and more w intelligent minds would be the result. er No parent need expect pure morals in al a boy that prowls the streets at night, tb even if he does go to Sunday school.- es Leesville News. fu The Criminal Cout.w The case of the State against Willie s MLeod and Redus Hilton, charged with. murder, the trial of which was in progress at the time our report closed last week, resulted in a verdict of not ft guilty, and the defendants were dis- b chrEwi Stuckey was found guilty of bi house breaking and larceny. and the de- d< fendent was sentenced to serve one year ~ on the cbain gang or in the peniten- ih tiarv. T'he case against J Frank Driggers, ~ charged with the murder of his sister, Mrs. Mamie Boseman, was taken up c Wednesday afternoon and opcupied the C court throughout Thursday. This case attracted a great deal of interest, and ~ during the entire trial the court house c was taxed to its full capacity. Driggers cc was represented by Messrs. Davis and c Weinberg, and Mr. S. Oliver O'Bryan assisted Solicitor Stoll in the prosecu- - tion. The case was called on Wednes- t day at noon, and immediately pro' S.eded t8 to trial. tI The testimony brought out showed t that Mr. Driggers had been on a spree d< for about three weeks preceding the e homicide, and was a habitual drinker, b an.a that Mrs. Boseman herself Nas quite a taster of the bottle, and was s drunk on the day of the homicide, that i she went to the home'of the defendant on the day of the homicide in an intox- * icated condition, and became involvedu in a quarrel with her brother, the de fendant, about a mortgage over a horse; ~ that the quarrel culminated in a slap- f ping between the parties, and that then Mrs. Boseman got in her wagon with d her h usband and left the house, but told her brother that if he did not have sat~ isaction, that he could get it by coming on down the road. She proceeded down the road a few hundred yards and stop-~ ped, and the defendant followed her, and when he got within a few yards of the deceased and her husband he shot Mrs. Boseman as she was turning towards him, the shot taking effcct ia her face and shoulder. .s The defendant set up a two-fold de fence, viz, self-defence and temporary insanity. Evidence was adduced to prove that his acts for some time previous to the tragedy and some time afterwards~ induced insauity, caused by the habitu al use of intoxicants. Dr. C. B. Geiger ~ and Dr. L. C. Stukes were both exa-m ined-hyothetically-on this point, and the State introduced evidence to showt that the acts were those of- a rational man. Some witnesses swore that within a few hours after the murder the defen dant was in MIanning hunting for the residence of his attorney, Capt. W. C. Davis, and that he told them of the tragedy and stated to them that it was an accident, and then he proceeded to the jail and surrendered to Sheriff Gamn ble. The case was stoutly fought from both sides at e'ery step, during which the testimony of some twenty-tive witnesses was taken. At the conclusion of the tetimnony, on Thursday at noon. Mr. O'rvan made the opening argument< for the State, and was followed by Capt.1 Davis for the defence, Solicitor Stollt making the closing arguments. The ar ouments in the case were all very for-c cible and well presented. It was said several times by outsiders that Capt.t Davis made one of the best and most lucid arguments that he has ever made ~.in the court room. Mr. O'Bryan and Solcitor Stoll both handled their side of the case in a most creditable manner. eThe main feature of the case was the< clear and comprehensive charge. given the jui'y by the presiding Judge, Ernest tGary. - IThe jury retired about nightfall, and after a few hours' deliberation, return - ed a verdict of guilty with recommen dation to mercy. Friaymoning Capt. Davis argued a notion for a new trial, but the inotior vas overruled by Judge Gary, who ther aid: "The sentence of the court is tha he defendant Frank Driggers be con f n d at hard labor in *he State peniten iarv for the term of his natural life." The case of the State.against Johi ;elson, indicted for murder, was con inued on account of witness for th4 itate being out of the jurisdiction of th( ourt and the defendant was admitted o bail in the sum of five hundred dol trs. William Frasier. charg'ed with assauli nd battery of a high and aggravated ature. was found guilty of assault and -as sentenced to serve ten days in jail r pay a fine of ten dollars.

Of late years have traveled through it 'going to torida with my wife, never having dped at any place except Aiken. Two or three years ago the son of my ster, the pet of the family and one of Le lovliest women that ever lived, was dled to the postorate of the Pres'by rian church of your town. On my way )uth from Virginia I concluded to vis him. I-could only get a ticket on the -eat Southern Railroad to Sumter. hich I understood was in seventeen iles of Manning. I was compelled to y over in this beautiful town of Sum ter til after 6 p. m. While there I called i Mr. Marion, the Presbyterian minis I had slept badly on the sleeper and ought I could get a good nap there, bich I did. He insisted and so did his ~autiful wife, upon my taking dinner ith them, but I got the carriage driv to stop at the restaurant where I ate 1 I wanted. I was delighted with every sing I saw during my short stay there. pecially the magnificient and beauti 1 Presbyterian cnurch. When I got to your town and with my ~phew visited your public school and inessed the opening exercises, the lendid discipline. not having seen one ~parure from perfect order, I had not doubt that the professor was the right an in the right place, and his ten as tants were worthy and true and faith 1. Not satisfied with the present large ilding, the wide-awake people of Man ng are erecting a new public school ilding,at an expense of forty thousand llars a court house to cost sixty thous id. After visiting the new school build g and the court house I went to the resbyterian church, not costing as uch as the buildings T have mention L No language I could use would be >nsidered by the pastor of this church id those who worship there and who e him and whom he loves, and exag ration.

One I will mention, the home of te banker, Major Levi, whcse lovely mily I visited. I asked my nephew te IRev. Albert Woodson to go with me ere as Major Levi had met me at the epot and taken me to my nephew's. I m never forget his courtesy and the autiful span of horses. We also called on Mrs. Bagnal, who as a Miss Fulton, whom I understood a relative of the' Fultons, whom I now in Missouri. It gives me pleas re to say no better people ever moved lest from this county. I am getting so Missouri papers. In both of my st papers from Missouri there was a w lines about the illness the wife a noble man, whose wi e was the aughter of old Mr. Fulton and the rily living sister of Dr. Fulton, Mrs. orsythe, bad been ill. I thank God y last paper said she was recovering. I ulso met Mrs. W. M. Plowden, who 'as a Cooper and related to my friend ooper in Missouri.

Mr. McChesney, their astor, is very talented and earnest. e is held in high esteem by his peo. le. They have a beautiful church nd no lirmit to their hospitality. I have ever in all my life been more delight* ully entertained than I was at the onie of Win. Jenkins and Mrs. Frank .egare's. I never saw a more beauti ul country church. Several joined the hurch at the close of meeting, some v letter and others by profession. I can never forget the nice people 2 iet with in your town, and the kind ianner in whict I was treated.

A disheveled man much the worse for liquor, staggered out of a Maine "speak easy" and laboriously propper himself against the door. For a while he owl ishly surveyed the passersby. Sudden ly his foot slipped and he collapsed in a heap on the sidewalk. A moment later he was snoring. A hurrying pedestrian paused, reflec tively surveyed the fallen man for a few seconds, and then poked his head in the door. "Oh Frank," he called, "Frank, come out here a minute." Presently the proprietor of the joint, smoking a fat cigar, emerged. He blink ed in the bright sunlight. "Hello, Hud," he said pleasantly. "What's up?" Hud jerked his thumb toward the slumberer on the sidewalk. "Yer sign has fallen down," he ex claimed, and briskly resumed his walk uptown.-Everybody's Magazine. BUSINESS LOCALS.
