Up to the timo of going to press on our last issue no conclusion had been reached in the case of Jesse Wesson for the killing of McBrayer in Blacksburg. A verdict was rendered, though, Tuesday, which was guilty of manslaughter, and a sentence of two years in the penitentiary was imposed upon him. Wesson is a colored man of unex ceptional character, as all who know him can testify, and has the reputa tion of being a very peaceable man ; and his unfortunate condition is a matter of sincere regret to every one. However, according to the law, Wes son’s own statement, and the testi mony of the witnesses, Judge Benet had no alternative but to pass sen tence upon him, which was the light est that was in his power to impose in accordance with the verdict of the jury. A petition for Wesson’s par don will soon be gotten up and we fee! sure that it will be liberally and conscientiously signed. The case against Zuek Spencer, for violation of the dispensary law, was discontinued. Case of Thomas I’atterson and Morgan Spencer for malicious mis chief—setting lire to grass on lands of another—was continued till next term of court. Levi Gossett, for wire beating, was continued. Clifton Smith, for assault and bat tery with intent to kill—continued. Newton Allen was next arraigned for larceny. He was found guilty and sentenced to (ifteen months im prisonment and a line of Jjil.OO. The case against W. Ellis Bay, for assault and battery with intent to kill, was continued. Next on the docket was the case against W. II. Self for assault and battery with intent to kill. Verdict, guilty of aggravated assault and bat tery, with sentence of fifteen months or if 100 line. Capt. J. B. Bell repre sented the defendant. Juke Phillips and S. B. Byars came next with the charge of violating the dispensary law against them. Guilty, and sentenced to three months im prisonment or .$100 fine for each. They were represented by Messrs. Hart and Bell. Henry Thompson was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying concealed weapons. Verdict of guilty of aggravated as sault and battery, and sentenced to eighteen mouths imprisonment or to pay $1'»0 00. He was represented by Messrs. Butler it Osborne. Case against W. M. Moore, alias Jack Moore, for assault and battery with intent to kill. Not guilty. J. C. Otts, Esq , was the defendant’s attorney. The court directed a verdict of not guilty in case against John C. Black- well. No bills were found in cases of A. C. Painter and John Byars for ob- >tmeting highway, and Ban Spencer and ‘ Hilly” Pennington for adultery. The docket was an unusually light one this term, and Judge Benet quickly disposed of the cases on hand.

Cou mmia, S. C., June Iff.—During the week ending 8 a. m., Monday, June 18th, the temperature averaged slightly warmer than usual, but was free from extremes, and was highly favorable to crop development. There were widely scattered show ers every day in the week, generally light but heavy in the western por tions, on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, where the ground was still wet from the previous week’s heavy rainfall On Saturday and Sunday the showers were more general, cov- oring the entire State. Except in the western portions, where the rains hindered cultivation, and in portion.-, of Bamberg. Barnwell, and Orange- hurgCounties. where the ground was very beneficial, especially so from Sumter northward and northeastward where gardens and tobacco stood in need of moisture. Lunds were badly washed in the Piedmont section. Crops of all kinds made favorable progress under the above weather con ditions except in those sections where there has been an excess of rain, making the soil too wet for cultiva tion, an I lit bis ur ; becoming grassy. Corn is small for the season, but has good color, and is now very promising. Earliest has been laid by. Bottom lands, in the western counties are too wet to cultivate, and grass and weeds threaten the crop. There is genera! complaint of grassy cotton fields from the western coun ties, where chopping is unfinished and cultivation was hindered and in portions of the south central counties. Elsewhere cotton, although small for the season, is growing rapidly, but lice continue to infest many li Ids; they are, however, gradually disap pearing. Sea island cotton needs hot weather and moisture. With the exceptions noted, the crop is clean and well cult’vated. Tobacco has improved and is doing well. It is buttoning low in places. Cutting and curing has begun in southern Marion County. Tiie wheat and oat harvest is nearly finished. Trashing has begun, and the reports continue to indicate good yields. Some grain was damaged in tho shock by the rains. Reports on rice, sweet potatoes, melons, sugar cane, sorghum, pas tures, gardens, and truck are uni formly favorable. Excessive dropping caused a di minution in the peach crop in places, hut as a whole the yield will bo very large. Apples continue scarce. Ber ries arc plentiful.

The wedding bells have again peal ed forth in our city, and this timo * » they announced the happy termina tion of a courtship between Mr. Joseph E.

Laven der,on Logan street, in tho presence of many friends and relatives of the loving couple. The occasion was not conspicuous for any pompous show or great display of floral decorations, but the simple and unadorned beauty of the, bride and handsome appear ance of the groom lent a charm to the scene whi'di nothing else could af ford. The bride has been visiting in Gaff ney for some time and has made many friends during her stay here. She is a young lady of culture, and re finement, and possesses ail the char acteristics of heart and mind which win for her the love of her friends and the respect and admiration of her ac- quaintan. e-.

Ezki.i., June 18.—Farm work is progressing finely, only when the ground is too wet to work. Farmers last year wanted more rain during the drought; this year they complain of too much rain, so you can’t fix tho weather to suit all of us no matter how it is. The small grain is very good through this section accept fall oats, they are a failure. The field crops such as cotton, corn,peas and sorghum cane are some what later than usual but growing, fine. A large attendance of court this week will come from Morgan town ship. Some of the boys are having good luck finding bee trees,there have been about a dozen found in this section this spring.

The game of ball yesterday after noon between Gaffney and Blacks burg, on the diamond of the latter, vas one of the most evenly contested games we have witnessed this season. Both teams did some very good play ing but both displayed a luck of prac tice. It was not until the last man at the bat for Blacksburg was put ) out that any one was sure of the | game. At the end of tho eighth in ning the score stood 13 to 10 in favor 1 of Gaffney but Blacksburg shut Gaff-j ney out in the latter’s half of the i ninth and on going to the bat made ^ a run and got two men on bases be fore the last man was out. Alto gether tho game was very interesting and it was only by hard work that the Gaffney team pulled out of a dangerous hole. For Gaffney Jones, Richardson and Humphries did tho battery work, i while Webb, Maze and Whisonant 1 performed a like service for Blacks- ; burg. Alexander and Hopper short stops for Blacksburg and Gaffney I respectfully deserve credit for good | playing. Our own Tom Brown led all the players in run getting, he hav ing four to his credit, while Ed. Clary was a close second with three. Rich ardson pitched beautiful bull the five innings he was in the box. Jones and Webb both deserve credit for their excellent catching. The Blacksburg team are a gentle manly set and our boys were de lighted with I he treatment received at their hands They will be over on the Fourth with a strong hacking and a good game may he expected. Blacksburg had the disadvantage of being short three of her best players, which might have hud the effect of changing the result had they been present. These players will be here on the Fourth.

This is a much needed enterprise, and as the wheat crop is good this year, there will be no excuse for our people’s longer eating bread made of chalk, mineruline, kaoline, and good ness knows what else.
