Work of thiConrt of General Sessions np to llteTme of Going to Press. The rcgula December term of court convened hee last Monday morning, with Judge It. C. Watts presiding Solicitor-clectTames E. Davis presented his commissioi and entered upon the discharge of lr. duties. Stenographer Byrnes was at is desk. The Solicitor landed to the grand jury a number of adictments as soon as possible, and th business of court got under way. The first case b come up was the State | against Robert Monroe, a negro boy. charged with housebreaking and larceny. He plead guilty, tnd was sentenced to ten months on Unchain gang. This was the case of enterinr the residence of A. Mclver Uostiek. Esi.. a few months ago. James Wilson, a negro, was tried for assault and battery with intent to kill. He was found guily, and sentenced to pay a fine of $40 or serve four months on the chain gang. The next ease trken up was that of Messrs. J. ('rum aid Marion Smbak, charged with assaultand battery with intent to kill and carrying concealed weapons. This was the case growing out of the trouble at Midway in August of this year, the day of the primary election. The evidence was largely contradictory. The trouble seemed to have started over politics, although there had been some family disagreement previous to this. Many witnesses were examined, and tlie case went to the jury at dinnertime Tuesday. They remained in their room until lifter nine o'clock that night without igreeing upon a verdict, and the judge ordered a mistrial. We understand the jury stood six for conviction and six for icquittal. Tuesday afternoon the case against Edmund Tyler, a negro, charged with murder was commenced. This was the ?ase of a negro killing at a hot supper a few miles from town last fall. This case ivent to the jury a little after dark, and hey remained in their room all night.

This is an>thcr hot supper negro killing scrape. The verdict had not been rendered when ve went to press. Tuesday afternoon the indictment gainst Rev. W. E. Johnson, for the killng of "Win. T. Bellinger last May, was jiven to the grand jury, and the case was et for to-day (Thursday.) There are a urge number of witnesses in this case, and t will no doubt consume the balance of he week. We understand that Attorney Jeneral G. Duncan Bellinger, Ex-Judge ames F. Izlar, of Orangeburg, and Capt. . A Mooney, of Greenville, will proseutc the case, while Col. Robert Aldrich, J Barnwell, Senator D. S. Henderson, of Liken, and Senator S. G. Mayfleld will onduct the defense. Solicitor Davis will iot act on account of being related to the amilv of the defendant. The grand jury had not made their inal presentment"up to the time of going o press, and it will hardly be made before o-morrow. Among the visiting attornevs here this reek are*. Robert Aldrich, W. H. Townend and C. A. Best, of Barnwell; James \ Izlar, of Orangeburg; Attorney Genral G. Duncan Hellinger, of Columbia; nd J. A. Mooney, of Greenville. Marriage. Mr. Isaac D.

Mr. Milton Reed, State agent of the National Union, a fraternal insurance rder of high rank, with headquarters in 'olodo, Ohio, is in Bamberg for the pur>ose of organizing a local council of the bove, and reports the outlook here most ncouraging, having already interested number of our leading business people. This is the twenty-sixth town lie has isited in this State during the past ighteen months, and in all of which lourishing branch organizations have >een established.

The highest cost per $1,000 since commencement of business is: $5, age 25; $6, age 30; $7, age 35; $8, age 40, To make it easy on its members the premiums are divided into tetassessments, that is every month in the year except May and November. The order operates in the healthy sections of the liiited States alone, solicits only men of good character and sound bodily health between the ages of 20 and 50 in non-haardous occupations, issues certificates fnm $1,000 to $?,000, The total o?st of becoming a member while the darter is opeu is only $3.50, which is to over cost of medical examination and ssuing the policy.

Quite a sad death occurred on Saturday, December 1st, that of Mr. Edwin Platts. Mr. IM.atts was riming the engine for Mr. John Smith, and in packing a bale of cotton he was soaping the belt. He was caught and carried between the belt and pulley and received injuries from which he died in about half an hour. He was unconscious almost when the negroes, wlni were up in the ginhouse, reached him. No one knows exactly how it happened as no one saw it. Coroner Besinger was notified and summoned the following gentlemen as jurymen: * Messrs. j. B. Kearse foreman, S. E. Neely, 1 O. G. Rhode, J. and II. C. Brabham, J. M. and Dr. N. F. Kirkland, J. B. O'Neal. C. | S. Rush. Mr. R. C\ Kirkland and Dr. ManI ning Brabham were the witnesses. I Verdict was, death by accident. There was a bruise just above his left wrist, and his left arm was broken just above the elbow. Dr. Brabham said that it was the shook that killed him. Mr. Platts was twenty-four years old; he was raised in about one mile of Buford's Bridge; his father died when he was only a boy; he was his mother's comfort in li?>r declining rears. He was announced by his nearest neighbors as being careful aiul obedient. It is sad when one in the prime of life with prospects for a long, useful, and happy life to be taken away so suddenly. He leaves a mother and three sisters, one the wife of Mr. Smith, where he was living, one the wife of John Harter of Ulmer, and Mr. J. C. Compton's widow, and a host of relatives |and friends to mourn his loss. On Sunday his mortal remains were laid to await the resurrection morn in the Diver's Pond burying ground in the presence of quite a large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives. Dr. N. F.

Gattis, was awarded damages in the sum of $20,000. The suit grew out of the charges preferred against President Kilgo, by Judge Walter Clark, a member of the board of trustees of the college. In the trial of these charges Dr. Kilgo, in his speech of defense, used language reflecting on Mr. Gattis, who was a witness in the case. Dr. Kilgo was exonerated of the charges brought by Judge Clark by the board of trustees, and then Mr. Gattis | ] brought a civil action for damages to his character on account of the language used ' by Dr, Kilgo. The verdict for $20,000 is the result. The attorneys for the defense have appealed to the Supreme Court. No matter what the final outcome is, Mr. Gattis's friends claim that his character has been fully vindicated by the verdict of the jury.
