PAGELAND CASE GOES TO TRIAL \ ii CASES BEING HARD FOUGHT Ten men Face Charges at this Term of General Sessions Court. The spring term of court of general sessions convened at Chesterfield Monday morning with Judge S. W. G. Shlpp p res filing. The charge of His Honor to the grand jury was clear and pointed. In charging on the several indictments handed out by the solicitor, His Honor departede con ' * * - 1 1., Siaeraoiy xruui |4ie usum luiui m Uim he used practical common sense illustrations initehd of abstruse legal definitions, and he was .very emphatic in his congratulations to the county on the fact that every member of the grand Jury was present to answer to his name. 'hie most important case before this .* ter* of court is the trial of the Arants. Wests and Wallaces of the western part of the county for riot and murder. On March 19, 1915, after a lawsuit before Magistrate Evans at Pageland, the principals of "the case became involved' in a flst fight. Other members of each faction Joined in, pistols and rifles were brought into play. The fight resulted in the death of Wesley Arant and the subsequent death in a Charlotte hospital of i. D. Wallace. Several others of each faction were wounded. Solicitor Spears had all the parties indicted for murder and riot The grand jury returned true bills against C. W. Ararit arid J. M. ^rant, II. II., West, Luther West, Baxter West, Arthur Y^est, Shepherd West, Jno. West, Luther Wallace and Walter Wallace. When the case was called the attorneys representing both the Arants and the Wallaces and Wests tried to have the indictment squashed, so that the trials for murder might be conducted separately. This motion was overruled and the case ordered to trial. The following jury was selected: E. J. Moore, foreman; C. A. Baker, J. E. Short J. G. Hoffman, C. A. Hoffman,, J. E. Brown, C. E. Snipes, W. M. Raley, J. C. Smith, J. E. Steen, M. D. Gardner, J. N. Tolbert and D. H. Brewner. The Arauts arie represented by Frank A. Miller of Hartsville, Geo. W. Brown of Darlington and G. K. Laney.

A Friendly Chat on the Peaceful Sabbath. MARLEY. as president of the Ring City Street Railway company and as chairman of the impromptu convention of street car magnates, was so full *of business that lie felt stuffed like a sausage. To his mind the fund they had raised to fight Alfcrton's iniquitous legislation was woefully inadequate, and the men who should have been most interested were strangely optimistic He suggested to several of them thai they appoint a committee to see Aller ton aud arrange some sort of compr<> aaise, but here again he found an uucx oected lukewarinuess. Nobody s< euicd to think that Alierton could bo 'reached." and as a rnaiter of fart ,-v ;ry time be broached iliat subject In found bis fellow magnates evasive.

"How did you come to get tangled up with Sledge?" d "I met him down at the city hall. He was weurlng one of his fool red rosea, r. and I think he saw me looking at it Perhaps I did grin. At any rate, he stopped and asked me when I was to ? be married to Molly." 0 i "What did you tell him?" "Christmas.

"What did be say that scared you r so?" j, ,. .. - ' "Nothing." confessed Bert "He onlj a smiled. I felt as if I had been In a cold rain." ' i "Same smile Molly described," Mar 3 ley laughed, though he was quite out of patience. "I cannot understand | Molly's taking a whimsical fright based on nothing, but I didn't expect It ol t you. Bert I have myself found Sledge 8 | co be rather decent in the last few e days, and I am only annoyed because i he does not seem to see the necessity e of using his Influence with Allerton to 9 stop this street railway bill. 1 think 1 s shall see Allerton myself tomorrow. * He comes home every Saturday night." ' Pursuant to that happy Idea, the ^resident drove out to Allerton's bouse 9 die next morning and found the sena.. : tor in the luxury of pajamas, easy slip pers and lounging robe amid an extrav. agant confusion of Sunday papers. At - his right hand was a taboret, on which ^ bubbled an electric coffee percolator. e and at his left hand was a feather; weight serving table, on which waa a 1 comfortable supply of cigarettes. In e front of him sat Ben Sledge. "Hello, Marley," greeted senator "You're just in time for coffee." "Had mine hours ago," returned MarI ley, nodding his return to Sledge's, ?, grunt. j "Then It's time again," Insisted the I senator pleasantly, rlngtaff for another - gflp. ' 'Ol' W'WTM you ptftFer a cocktail?'', "A little of your exclusive rye, I think. If you Insist on anything," accepted Marley, drawing a chair Into the cozy little circle. "You're trying to save that rye or you would have offered it In the first place." "No; only trying to promote sobriety," bantered Allerton. "I suppose, however, that a memory of that good Kentucky stock Is what brought you out here on this peaceful Sabbath morning." "Hardly." denied Marley. "Frankly 1 suppose I came on the same errand as my rival and competitor here." "What's that?" asked Allerton, with a glance at Sledge. "To flud out what the dickens you meau by that Infamous street railway bill of which you are the disreputable , parent." Allcrton gazed at him blankly for a moment and again glanced quizzically at Sledge. There was a low rumble down in Sledge's throat, but neither his face nor liis eyes betrayed any sentiment or emotion whatsoever. "I mean to protect the honest work( inginan. to save our houses and firesides and ndd honor and glory to the American flag." responded Allerton sol emuly. Marley accepted that merry quip with the courteous chuckle which Itdej served. "Outside of that and drying the tears : <?f the widows and orphans, what do , you propose to accomplish by It?" he persisted In like vein. "If 1 didn't know you were above spitework I should tliluk that you had It In for the street car interests." Again the senator looked at him with a puzzled air, then he turned to Sledge. "Doesn't be know anything?" he queried. "Naw!" rumbled Sledge. "I see,'' answered Allerton coolly. "1 supposed you all knew that before the bill was passed It would be amended to conserve the Important floapclal Interests." 1 Marley pondered that statement awhile, and then he laughed. 1 "Of course." he said. "It's only political claptrap, intended to make the voter think you are eternally on the job In his interests." "I jvouldn't put It la eiacjtly tbut way," soberly reproved Allerton, Justly offended by this coarse method of Impugning his motives. "I apologize," snid Marley. "f should have said "the bill displays that you ! constantly have the Interests of j-our constituents at heart.' We were rather exercised ubout It. but we should nul have been, for In your long service for the public 1 do not think you have ever v promoted or fostered any legislation I whi h would be destructive of capital." "Certainly not," agreed Allerton, wht " never let down his pose in the presenct II of a man who had not proved his righi '> to sit within the sacred circle. "With ' I out the proper and legitimate fosterlnj I of enterprises requiring extensive flnan 7 ! da I support there can be no nationn I prosperity." "That's sound enough doctrine,' ; ; commended Marley. "What are tin :< | amendments which are to soften tin II i blow?" .? | With kindly patience the senator ex i ' plained to him the amendments, on< ?' by one. being careless enough, how ever, not to mention the fifty yea d. franchise clause. I At the eud of an hour Marley, Tiuel Id relieved la hi* mind, took his dtpar T ( ' J / i 1 ? 7'- "?' - tort, regrettfag that Sledga was not ready to accompany him. .*"* "It's strand how easily a man In control of important investments takes fright." be acknowledged, as he.arose to go. "Ws-caa be.out on the run with a penny's-worth of flrecnickers r. Not long age, oar friend Sledge, here, hjid me^tgirpeded, but I'checkmated the"o!cf villain.

"Whatever it was ' I'm glad of it You must have met Sledge;'' and she giggled. "Sledge must have smiled at him." laughed Bert keeping up the Joke. "I have excellent reasons."
