The offense was charged as occurring on October 13th, 1922, and that it was committed upon Q. G. Strickland, and that it was done with a gun with intent to hit the injured party. Q. G. Strickland testified that defen- ' dant forbid him to tear down the fence or he would shoot him. He tore it down and the man shot, but did not ! hit him. After shooting the defenJ x x I 1_ i.1. _ cuint went oacic in ine nouse. He is a cousin of the defendant. On cross examination he said the , defendant was off about 20 yards from , his mother's home when he fired the shot. No one was living: on the place. The fence he tore down inclosed the field Where defendant lived. He had been at the place once before that day. He had been by there and had started to tear down the fence and when he quit and came back his wife i and G. B. Shelley were with him and i he then went back to tear it down. They are involved now in a law suit about this land, but was not at that time. G. B. Shelley is his uncle. This time he tore down the fence regardless. His mother was also there. He had not come directly from home to the place. Strickland's mother was not in the field going toward him at the time. After he shot Mrs. Strickland came to him. Witness' gun was loaded. They had a stick but did not run witness ,iway. Only one shot was fired. Saw Luther take the gun from a young lady who brought it out and it was already loaded. He pointed the gun at witness and fired. Witness had bought the land and the fence 1-*-. t 1*1 _ A A _ 1_ _ 1. f was nis ana ne oia not taKe nis own gun there until after the other m,an had gotten his. Mrs. Lutie Strickland, wife of Q. G. Strickland, was there when Luther Shot at her husband. Mamie Strickland had gone in the house and got the gun. Luther took the gun from the girl and fired at Q. G. Strickland, as directly at him as he could point the gun. On cross examination she said that he had come there to tear down the fence; that he had a right there and that he was going to tear the fence down. Luther shot at Q. G. Strickland when he first began tearing down the fence but Strickland went on tearing it down and finished before he -quit. G. B. Shelley testified he saw Luther Strickland shoot at Q. G. Strickland. He had gone because Q. G. Strickland had asked him to go with him. He heard the shot striking the hushes and fence close to Q. G. Strickland. Luther's mother was close by at the time and so was the prosecutor's wife. Luther had a breech-loading gun. The prosecutor did not point his gun at anyone. There was nobody hit. After the shot the prosecutor picked up his gun and stepped off a few steps, then came back and finished tearing down the fence. y* The Defense. Luther Strickland, the defendant heard some of the family say that Q. G. Strickland was tearing down the fence. He took the gun out of the girl's hand after she had taken it out of the house and shot the gun as straight up as he could. He took the gun from Miss Minnie to keep her from shooting the other people. He feared there would be trouble and he fired off the gun to stop this trouble. He denied that he shot at the prose/>n + Al* Ho ilnninrl Vin uroe mo/l V V* vwi I 1 1 V.4 V? 111 V- \ A VllCIt IIU ?' UO 1IIUVI | and that he had cursed anyone. On cross examination he was asked to explain why he shot the gun 0fT after he took it out of the girl's hand. He did that, he claimed, to keep them from shooting it in case they got the gun back. He would not admit that he had known there had been trouble that morning. Mrs. Strickland, mother of Luther, came, there that morning that prosecutor started to tear down the fence. She had asked him to stop and he had laughed at her. He came back later and had his gun. She stated that Quince had pointed the gun at her and said he would tear it down or would kill the last G?d one of them on that hill. She went on to the house and this was about the time that Luther shot off the gun. Quince continued to tear down the fence and lacked a rail or two in erettinir it down when he saw that Minnie was going on him, and he left. She said she had lived there 31 years. She did not know that Minnie had the gun hut expected that she would get it. She had started to the house when the gun fired and she did'nt took back. She said it was over 100 yards from the place where the gun was fired to the place where the fence was being torr down. R. A. Strickland said he is the step< father of Luther. He was at the home on the porch. Minnie ran in the house to get the gun when she saw Quince tearing down the fence. Luther took the gun away from her. He heard Quince say he had come to tear dowr the fence or he would kill the last one on the place and about then the gur o T? Cor# C?M la On Day Tmkm LAXATIVE MONO QUININE (Ttbfcu). l sisters kvas fired, but not in the direction of I Quince. He said Quince, when he went there to tear down the fence, irew the gun on his wife. He did not take the gun away from the <?irl because he did not care whether she^hot Strickland or not. He did not*' have anything to do with the selling: of the land. Mrs. Luther Strickland testified that her husband took the gun away from the girl and shot up in the air. When Luther took the gun away from the girl she got a stick and went on in the direction of the ?lace where the fence was being torn ?own. Minnie Strickland, I >now Mrs. Mark Strickland, having married since that time, told about how she heard Quince say he would tear down the G?d? fence when he got ready. He went off and came back with his folks and said he would tear it down if he had to kill the whole G? D? family. He went to tearing it down and she ran into the house and got her gun. As she passed the corner of the house Luther wrung it out of her hands. She then picked up a stick to use. She had taken the gun out of Luther's room. Sh<? imitated the wav that Ouinro had laughed and prilled, shaking herself in a fair imitation of the shimmy dance. She created laughter which court officers suppressed only with difficulty. This was in the morning and some time before he had returned and tore down the fence. She said thflt G. B. Shelley had a gun. G. B. Shelley was recalled *o testify that he did not have the gun as the young lady had said. The jury found him not guilty. SHORTCOURT FOR MARION The Court of General Sessions convened at the court house Monday morning and so rapidly was the business of the court dispatched that at noon Tuesday the last case of the trial docket was being tried and adjournment on the second day of the term made certain. Judge W. H. Townsend was presiding over the Marion court 'for the first time, and he m.ade a splendid impression unon the officers of the court His deep knowledge of the law, coupled with his courteous manner in presiding over the court makes him an ideal judge. The spring term of the Court of General Sessions proved to be a "Nigger Court," almost all of the business having to do with the col ored brother and his troubles. And, the brevity of the term was due to the fact that the colored boys, figuring that Solicitor Gasque had the goods on them, fell over each other in entering pleas of guilty. The following cases had been disposed of earlv Tuesday morning: Preston Thomas, assault with intent to kill, plead guilty and sentenced to serve thirty days and pay a fine of $100. Bart Baker, assault with intent to kill, plead guilty, sentenced to serve five years at hard labor. Eugene Smith, larceny, plead guilty, sentenced to serve 9 months. Arnett Lester, murder, plead guilty i to manslaughter and was sentenced | to serve 2 years.

McKay, assault with intent to kill, found guilty, sentenced to serve three months and pav ,1 fine of $150. Eh Owens and Hoyt Owens, violation of prohibition laws, not guilty. At noon the case of the State vs. Will Keith, charged with rape was being tried, and this being the onlv easel on the docket not completed by trial I or continuation, adjournment was almost at hand. Solocitor Gasque stated that he would return to Columbia and his duties in the Engrossing Department of the Legislature just as soon as he could get away from Marion, having promised the attorney general to do so. Grand Jury Report. The report of the Grand Jury contained nothing outside of routine matter, except the recommendation to the county delegation to the Legislature that the county of Marion pay the abutting charge for J he paving of Main and Godbold streets, in Marion, through the public square, which is county property.?'Marion Star. o NOTICE OF DISCHARGE A.

SENATE KILLS BRIDGE BILL House Delegation States Reasons For The Bill UPPER WACCAMAW RIVER Big Bridge for Pee Dee May be Taken Care Of Dear Editor: I noticed in The Herald of last week the statement that the Horry delegation has passed a bond issue of $30,000 fqr the purpose of building roads and bridges. The delegation in the house pleads guilty to the charge. This was for the sole purpose of building a bridge across the upper Waccamaw river, at a point to be selected by the voters of Little River and Simpson Creek townships on the 24th day of April of this year. Also this bill provided for the building of our part of a new bridge across Lumber river, near Nichols. This bridge has already been condemned and a notice posted "Unsafe." We admit that the big bond issue for more than $100,000 was voted down during last year, yet we realize that it was the big proposition of building a bridge across Big Pee Dee river at Bull Cheek which defeated this measure. We are more interested in the small bridge across upper Waccamaw than either of the other two, for the reason that if the State should vote for the $60,000,000 bond issue for hard surfaced roads and bridges the big bridge across Pee Dee and also the bridge across Lumber river will be taken care of out of this item. We can not hope to build a bridge accross the upper Waccamaw out of ( CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.) o NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the decree and judgment of the courtmade by his Honor W. H.
