Stoe Just Talked Too Much, Ladjes who bring damage suits should not be ten) pleasant and com municative when the members of the jury a ?*0 around, unions they want to ox pc r ii;iuo t'urtlu'r law's dola> s. Down in Aiken last week, Judge Mem minger had to call it all off just be fiiusf the lady plaintiff in an action for damages was jfou nd chatting plea santly with the jurors who were to sit in judgment of her claims. It is quite evident that the lady did not "moan anything" by her friendliness, but chatting with jurors is not just the thing you know, in the beat regu* la tod tribunals. . ' , Wlun Judgo -M? -mminger arrived in the court room he discovered the wo man plaint ill iii a damage suit chat ting pleasantly with several members of the jury which had been empanelled to try the case. The woman evidently had not intended any breach of court vuU : , and was, possibly, unaware that she was doing anything wrong. The jurors wore in the box, and she was sitting several feet away, await ing {he opening of court. Just how the conversation began no one can tell, and theVsubject of it was, in no wise reluted to the cast^ before the court. Hut Judge Memmiriger, when court was convened, stated that in view of the fact that she had held con verge with t)ic jurors, even should they return a verdict in her fav?r it would be his duty to Het it aside, and, therefore, the case was continued and court adjourned.--Spartanburg Her ald. s Ex-Slave Dies at Age of 91. Klow Henderson, respected negro of the city died last Saturday at the remarkable age of 91 years. Ho was in good health until a short time be fore his death. He had been in the employ of the Southern Railway for about *16 years, being flagman at the Broad street crossing for some six or eight years until advancing age forced his retirement. He was held in high esteem bv the railway officials and by all who T$new him. Henderson was one of the few re maining ex-slaves born in Africa. He said lie did not know the exact year that he was brought to America but that he was six years old at the time. He and a twin brother were sold to a man named Martin, and were later sold to a man named Henderson, on the coast of South Carolina. After he was given his freedom in 1865 ho kept the name of Henderson. In "tell ing of his' childhood he said*/*. he re membered the voyage across the At lantic with a great company of other negroes who were being sold into slavery, i but he did not remember the, number. 11c thought ho was brought over on a ship that .smuggled slaves into the country, but he was not sure about* this. Soon after being sold in to slavery he lost sight of the others who came with him, and he did not remember the part of Africa that he came from. Henderson lived an upright life and was respected by all who knew of him. He left several children, two of whom are ministers. ? ^.Carolina Citizen^ Cotton PooIh Close May 1st* Columbia, April 1(3. ?
