rled over until the next term. Judge
Prince, of Anderson, is presiding, and
made one of his usual forceful charges
to the grand Jury, which Iuih been fa
voruhly commented u|>on on all sides.
Taylor Helton, a negro, was before
the court on a charge of disposing of
property under lien, in that he failed j
to pay rental for land according to (
crops gathered from the land. The ac
tion was brought by H. L. Schloshurg. |
The negro admitted paying the landlord!
out of money he had received by sub
renting the land. The jury did not
think Helton guilty anfl he wn? re
leased.

housebreaking and larceny and plead
guilty to grand larceny. He was sen
tenced to serve nine months. Palmer

L. J. Jordan and Hoy Jordan, charg
ed with killing a negro in the northern

C-arl Moor*' a white man, charged
with stealing an automobile belong
ing to Itobert Mickle. of West Wateree,
came up Wednesday and occupied a
greater jx>rtion of the. day. The /tes
timony went to show that Moore took
the car from tt? owner at Camden and
drove it to Columbia. Mr. Mickle hgd
him intercepted in Columbia. Moore
attempted to show that he only bor
rowed the car and was going to re
turn to Camden. After staying out j
all night the jury failed to agree and J
a mistrial was ordered. It is said the
jurors stood evenly divided "Us to a
conviction. The wife of the defend

ton, charged with the murder of Green

by Attorney Mills, who represented
I* r ox ton. claiming that the negro was
advancing upon him with a pitch'fork
when shot. The Jury rendered a ver
dict of not guilty.
Joel Jordan, Murphey Jordan, Fred
die Jordan and John Jordan were all
convicted of assault and battery >vith
intent to kill, and were sentenced to
pay fines of $200 each or serve one
year each. The case grew out of the
shooting of I>ewis Spears, a neighbor,
several weeks ago, in which the de
fendants killed one of their own mules
and seriously wounded Mr. Spears, in
a ftw?t!ade of shots fired at Spears.
The testimony showed that the defend
ants all went to .their fields that njprn
ing armed With shot guns, and were
going to plant a piece of land that had
been in dispute by Spears and another
party. Spears weot to the field to
protest and was fired upon'. Attorney
hi T. Mills assisted Solicitor Cobb
