Change Of Venue
Judge Johnson Orders
That Trial Be Held In
Abbeville Court.
Judge J. Henry Johnson last week
issued an order from chambers at
Allendale granting Carroll D. Nance,
of Cross Hill, a change of venue for
trial at Abbeville on a charge of as
sault and battery with intent to kill
in connection with the alleged shoot
ing of Mrs. Ella McSwain Coleman

October,
The order was filed last/ Thursday
in the office of Clerk of Court V. R.
Fleming at Laurens togetner with a
similar order to try the civil action for
$20,000 damages in connection with
the same alleged shooting.
In his order Judge Johnson said
that in his opinion “a stronger show
ing” had never been made before
him for a change of venue, and that
he was “fully convinced that nether
the state nor the defendant could get
a verdict in Laurens county and cer
tainly a fair trial means that if the
defendant be guilty, the state is en
titled to a verdict; if he be innocent
he is entitled to more than a mis-

Overheard conversation (one friend
to another): “Are you going to see
‘Gone With the Wind’ when it comes
back to Clinton?” Reply: “Surely. I’ve
seen it only once before.” It seems
you aren’t an average American if
you haven’t seen it at least twice.
- Clintonians responded generously
in opening their homes to cadets on
Sunday. So well in fact there were
more homes than cadets and there
weren’t enough guests to go around.
