The usual lat'tfe crowd was not presentowin# to the fact that the circus was tixod for Tuesday. Most of the people put olT the trip to town mi Tuesday and the day brought a large crowd to see the circus. C>n Tuesday morning the court went into the trial of the Durant cases, brought by the lieirs of Win. W. Durant named in the pleadings as Virginia D. Young, (lertrude Lido, Louisa Drown, b\ 1). Kvans, ICleetwood Wilden, Pauline Durant, Claudia Durant, II, W. Covington.) Jesse \V. Liles, against various par j ties, as defendants, to recover 1000 i acres ot land granted to John Du rant in 181H. The suits, about thirty in number, had been filed for some time but not tried, owing to the c rowded condition of the dockets. The contention in these suits grow out of the fact that in the will of Henry Durant to whom John Du rant conveyed the 1000 acres, was a provision giving the 1000 acres to W. W Durant for life and at his death to any son he might leave surviv- ( ing him named Henry, but should i he leave no son name IJenry, then prooerty to go to such children as he (W. W. Durant) might leave him surviving at the time of his death. W. W. Durant, although he had on ly a life estate, sold the land to < James Hoaty, and by various convey uucos uown to inc present owners. Following is a copy of the will of i W. W. Durant, out of which the contention grows: i In the name of (Joel amen, I Henry DuRant of the State of South Carolina District Horry Planter, being weak in body but of sound mind memory and understanding, knowing that it is appointed for all men , once to die, I do hereby make my ; last will and testament in manner and form viz: I hereby give to my brother John DuRant and my friend Eleasor Waterman, all the estate I die possessed of with the following exception and limitations, that is to say in trust to the intent that Wil liam W. DuRant, do be permitted to take use and enjoy all the profits and income of my estate real and personal, without lot or hinderance from the period of my decease during his natural life. It being my I express will and intontion that no part or parcel of the said estate, shall in anywise be subject to the debts or contracts of the said William W. DuRant that do now or may hereafter exist, and it is further my will that after the decease of the said William W. DuRant, then in that case the estate aforesaid shall descend to the son of the said William W. DuRant, should any such be then living and called Henry, and in default of such male child then to such other child or children of the said William W, as may be then living. Item, As an exception to the above 1 hereby give to my friend H. A.

The pastor, Rev. I). I). Cox, who had preached for that people in a School house for four years began this meeting in the new building on the third Sunday. He was assisted the iTrst of the week by Rev. J. H. Skipper. The latter part by Rev. Pink Hardee. Although it seemed that, preaching was not so much needed,there being only three real sermons preached from Tuesday until Sunday. There were twenty thfeo additions t ) the church, twenty-one by baptism and two by restoration. One by the last named was An aged woman who stated that years ago she was turned out of Mt.

On last (Kunday about seven or eight hundred people gathered at t he water's edge of the Spivey Mill pond near Mt. Tabor to witness the baptismal scene. As their feet be gan to tread the chilly waters of the Jordan, led by the pastor, we could almost read the lips of llrothor Cox as he prayed the Father to give him graco and strength to perforin this humble act of obedience for his Master. Everything was in such silence until the sweet voice of that dove-like spirit was almost heard to whisper and say to each one ''This is iiiv beloved Son (or daughter) in whom I am well pleased." As they came up out of the water this silence was broken by soft voices from bank singing "Children of the Heavenly King etc." From here many returned to the church whore the christians enjoyed a heavenly foretaste of good things around the communion table after which the, parting hand was taken and we all returned to our homes we trust a better people.

The large tent was parked to it's utmost capacity, ami the side shows run in connection with the larger show all did a good business. The Sparks show has been hero twice before, but it 'vas pronounced to be up to its best, this time, Mujrltttrutc's Court at Flnklea. There was quite a crowd of pbo- " pie last Friday at the residence of Magistrate George Fowler near Fink lea to witness tho trial between J. A. Neely, K. J. Dullard and a colored man by tho name of Jos. dermic! over the ownership of a steer. Mr. Dullard first claimed the property and brought suit against Gerrald to recover it. Mr. Neely attended the trial as third party and was permitted to put in proof of his ownership. There was no jury and the magistrate announced there was not enough before him from which he could decide the case. This was some weeks ago. The parties then agreed to arbitrate, but in some way pending this mode of trial the beast mco possession oi uerraid again, and Neely at once brought claim and delivery proceedings to recover him of the ne&rro. It was the trial of this latter proceeding that took place last Friday. The jury, after remaining out for some time failed to agree on a verdict and the magistrate ordered a new trial to take place at Boris on tho third Thursday i 11 November. Ferd D. Bryant Eaqr. represented Gerrald, H. H. Woodward Esqr., represented Neely aud Bullard was represented by B. Wofford Wait Eaqr. It is said that the costs in the ease already amounts to more than the value of the property, and the next trial at Loris will likely double it.
