Court Proceedings.
The Court was occupied Wednesdaj* of
last week in granting orders, confirming I
reports, etc., by the Judge. Thursday
morning the trial of jury cases was commenced,
and the first case taken up was
that of Eugenia M. Rice vs. F. M. Bamberg
?a suit for the possession of land. This
case has been tried once before in the Circuit
Court and a verdict rendered for the
defendant. The plaintiff appealed to the
Supreme Court, which reversed the Circuit
Court and sent the case back for trial.
On this last trial the jury again found for
the defendant. A motion to set aside the
verdict and to grant a new trial was made
by attorneys for the plaintiffs, and the
Judge signed an order to this effect, he
stating in his order that the verdict of the
jury was against the manifest weight of
the testimony. There promises to be
lengthy litigation in this case.
The case of F. W. Chitty vs. the Pennsylvania
Railroad was next tried, and the
jury found for the plaintiff $G00 damages.
This case has been to the Supreme Court,
and the Circuit Court was sustained,
which found for the plaintiff. This was
a suit for damages for the delay of watermelons
in transit.
In the case of J. II. Dixon vs. J. A.
Spann, a non-suit was granted by the
Judge:
Friday the case of C. B. Thomas vs. S.,
G. Mayfield?an action for damages?was
taken up,andthe trialof this caseconsumed
the time of the Court until adjournment
Saturday afternoon. The jury found a
verdict in favor of the defendant. The
contention for damages was based on the
deadening of timber 011 lands sold by the
defendant to the plaintiff. When the j
trial of this case was concluded the jury j
for the first week was discharged and
Court adjourned until Monday morning. |

Cruel Murder in Colleton.
I Charleston, April 21.?A murder of
, extraordinary brutality was committed
I near Raven el's station, Colleton county,
this morning. W. W. Jones, a section
master on the Plant System, on returning
to his home in the forenoon found the
body of his wife in a dog house near his
home. The throat of the young wife was
cut from ear to ear, and the head was
" - * V - -1- 4 1.1
almost severed irom ine uouy. a uiuuustained
sickle, which lay near the corpse,
showed how the crime had been committed."
As several articles are missing from
the house, robbery is supposed to have
been the main object. Whether, as has
been reported, there has been a more
fiendish crime depend upon the reports of
physicians.
A band of armed citizens was immediately
organized and the sheriff promptly
informed, but as yet no clue to the
murderer has been found.
From Capt. Hunter.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?I take
this method of extending my hearty appreciation
of and thank^-for the many
manifestious of sympathy for and interest
in our project to erect a monument to
Bamberg county's honored dead in the
civil war. I am glad to report a good
meeting Wednesday of last week, and to
state that I have since that time received
a very encouraging report from Mrs. Bennett,
chairman of the auxiliary committee
of ladies at Olar, as well as from Capt. W.
T. Cave of the same place. In fact, reports
from all sections of the county indicate
great interest in this work of love
and I feel safe in saying that our efforts
will be crowned with success. Let us
each one determine to know no such
word as fail. Assuring the committees
of my readiness to co-operate with and
| assist them at any time, I am,
Yours truly, J. B. Hunter,

Colston News.
Colston, April 22.?It has been quite a
while since we have noted anything from
this section of Bamberg county in your l
valuable columns. We claim this part of 1
the county to be one of the garden spots '
of the State, simply for these ,-easons:
1st. All of us are farmers and do not
depend upon the West to fill up our corn
cribs with their corn or our smoke houses
with their bacon, but most always have
some to dispose of.
2nd. We have two schools, Cuffy Creek,
which is under the able management of
Miss Alma Sandifer, and also has a special
levy of two mills which will enable us to
- -1 ? ? i.-'in lnnnoi*. the Hrtkfnn
I run si suurii ?line i?jugvi, v?v ^?. ?
school not having any special levy closed
a few days a*o, and Miss Hattie Smoak,
the teacher, has returned to her home.
3rd. We have in our midst a Baptist
church, the interest of which is sought
after by that noble and able divine, Rev.
W. D. McMillan, of Blackville, S. C. We
also have an exceptionally good physician
in the person of Dr. E. Kirkland,
who is ever ready to administer unto the
wants of those that need his services.
The colored people of Colston, after
obtaining permission from Rev. Robt.
Williams, a brother of the late Dr. Jno.G.
Williams, built a very comfortable church
upon his lands, the cost of which amount;
ed to about $500. The work was eom.
menced about one year ago and while it
| was not completed they have been hold
ing their services there for some time,
- and the night of the 20th instant, at some
late hour some unknown party or parties
' set fire to it and in a short while it was
t totally destroyed. We sympathize with
1 our colored brethren and hope that they
' may be able to bring the right party to
justice.

The following dispatch from Olar appeared
in The State last week:
Olar, April 13.?Many persons in this
vicinity who one month ago were doubting
Thomases as to the construction of
the Charleston, Augusta and Chattanooga
railroad via this place, are today fully
satisfied that the projectors mean business
and will surely build ( lie road in the
near future. In fact ground was broken
lien; on the 1st of March ult., and since
then a small force has been grading in a
street leading east and west.
Yesterday morning Mr. J. U. Jackson,
}f Augusta, Ga., and Chief Engineer
Warmsley, of Philadelphia, came down
:rom the former city- and had a short and
igreeable conference with the town
council, after which they proceeded across
he country to Ehrhardt, where they received
material encouragement, provided
hey would deflect from the air-line and
ap that place?one staunch merchant of;ring
$3,000 if the corporators would do '
io. These gentlemen said that after GO '
lays quite a number of hands, probably '
,000, would be put on at different points
Jong the line and then the work would
>e pushed with a vim.

Albert Gantt dropped dead on Tuesday,
le was a well known colored man in
iarnwell and a very good one. His passng
away suggests the lynching of eight
olored men in Barnwell some ten or
welve years ago. Albert was in the shop
r restaurant where the men were that
illed John J. Heffernan. He was sup- =
osed to be implicated, although he was
ot, and was arrested along with the
thers and put into jail. Tlie nigui 01
be lynching he was seized and would
ave been lynched with the others, but, it
eenis, some in the party vouched for him
s being a good darky and he was reeased.
Albert's account of his sensations
n that trying occasion was vivid. He
lever appeared to recover altogether from
he shock to his nervous system.
Mr. Uriah Dunn and his son, Jesse, who
iave been since last fall selling horses
nd mules in Barnwell, started back to
heir Kentucky home on Saturday on
lorseback.
Mrs. Molair, who has for many years
:ept the Molair Hotel and given uuiveral
satisfaction to the travelling public by
he excellence of her fare, died yesterday.
>he was 47 years of age, the daughter of
he late Mr. Charles Pechmanu. She was
i woman of remarkable judgment and
(ncrgy, and her success in even-thing she
tndertook was correspondent to those
reneralities. Her health was perfect unil
within a year, when it suddenly gave
vay.
Joseph Jefferson, the actor, relates that
n driving from Buzzard's Bay to Onset,
Jass., he encountered a woman in blooni;rs,
who had dismounted from her bicycle

jailed him with the query: "Can you
ell me if this is the way to Wareham ? "
'The way to wear 'em?" repeated .Tefferion,
looking at the bloomers. "Certainly,
noHom. it'c thp wav T wear mine."
