The telegram* staled that the Judge will nold a special court for Horry at the end of the Circuit. This means that the ilorry court is postponed until courts are held at Marion, Florence and Georgetown, There will be a week of court ai each of the other places before the special term can be held here, and this will make the special term be gin on Monday, March 15th, rne p mp moment 01 mo court here came as a surprise as well as a disappointment to many as it was not generally known unt il Monday morning ttiat .Incite Aldrich was sick and could notcomo. This postmenl inconvenienced many who left their homes in obedience to the summons of the court to serve t licit country in one capacity or another, besides there are a number of prisoners in jail who, if innocent of the crime chained against them, will have to "languish in duress vile" until sometime in March before they can be tried by their Uod and their country. Sympathy was expressed for Judoe Aldrich in his a ill ction and it is hoped that he will be restored to his usual health.

The purchase money of the property amounted to something over $4000.00, and as the town did not have the money to put into it, they had to buy it on credit and they are paying interest on this amount of money. This being tho case the town authorities should see to it that thus investment should not remain entirely idle and fail to bring in a return in a financial way on the amount invested. With the expenditure of a few hundreds of dollars tho old court room c mid turned into a very nice auditorium and used an opera house, and for any sort of public gathering that might take place.in the town It could be rented tfjfjnme one f >r this purpose who would hold it and manage it from year to year and probably pay a large rental for the use of it The opera companies which visit other towns would visit Conway if the ? 1 ' ~ iw? it iiau an u|n;i a uuusu i 1 v\ ?is statu! when the; purchase was much; by the town that the entire building would be renovated and repaired and that the town would rent the ollices and old court room. We have seen no move made toward this end further than to repaid the ollices down stairs. No alterations or improvements have been made in the f ut room It is hoped that the Us* ^authorities still have this matterTn mind and will put the build mg in snapeto bring a return to the town.

The aPlMlITlPlltS VPStonliiV nnm pic ted all the preliminary steps nec essary to a linal decision in ths , noted case, which began some months ago in the United States circuit court by a voluntary agreement of all parties interested to place the lumber concern in the hands of three receivers, and which has now assumed the shape of a light on the receivers themselves. Messrs J 0. Causey, Jr., Jno 11 Howuld and Frank B VVitherboel were appointed receivers of this estate, which is located near Conway, some months ago. They were agreed upon by the creditors and stockholders and went into ollice I with the support of all parties concerned. At least six months ago a petition was. presented to Judge IVitcharu, asking that the receivers be removed from otlico, the petition alleging that the estate was deteriorating in value by roason of the management of the receivers Messrs Causey, Uovvakl and Witherbee resisted the petition, aud as a result a number of references were hold by Judge MoCullough, who was app tinted special master by judge Rritchard'to investigate and report bis findings of law aud fact upon the allegations of the petition. Vv ilcox & Wilccx of Florence represented the receivers, and .yesterday contended that the evidence had not developed facts sutliciont to demand the removal of the receivers, rhey also contended that the receivers had a right as a matter of law to continue the management of the estate, in view of the fact that no wrongful acts had been traced to them. Meares & Ruark of Wilmington, George Rountree, Esq., of Wilmington and lion R. B.

A number of very intricate and technical quotations of law havo been argued before Judge McCullough, and the decision is awaited with great interest. It is probable, hov.ev? r, that Mr McCullough's repori will not- be made public until it is presented to Judge Pritchaid, who will issue a linal uecree upon his report. It is a foregone conclusion that there will be an appeal to too United States supreme court, no matter which way the matter is decided. The estate is valuod at about $500,000.?State. Magistrate's CourtOn last Thursday town marsha' J. M. Fortescue swore out a warrant before Magistrate N Sweet, charging W. M. Parker with violation ol the whiskey law. The basis of the . charge being the same as that on j which he was recently tried in the I town court, and lined in the sum of $100 00. The defendant promptly gave his bond lor trial in the eourt of General Sessions, and stated that that he would contest the case. The case of B. T. Hyman vs Mrs W, W, Crosby and Mr Crosby, concorning, which something was said in the papers recently, was tried before Magistrate N. Sweet last Thursday. A jury trial was waived, and the case was tried by the magistrate himself. Mrs Crosby did not appear at the trial, and her attorney submitted certain letteis from her stating that she eould not attond on account of the illness of a brother at Dothan, Alabama. The plain till was sworn, a? was also Mr Crosby, who was present. After hearing the te&timonv 1he magistrate rendered iris deoi-i >n in favor of the plaintiff, II. T.
