The proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions since Thursday have been interesting in the nature of the cases. The fore noon of Friday was occupied by the attorneys in speech making in the case of Nero Littlejohn for the kill ing of Wm. Tally. Thursday after noon at the conclusion of the testi mony Mr. J. C. Jefferies addressed the jury on behalf of the prosecution. Friday morning Mr. H. K. Osborne opened on behalf of the defense. He was followed by Mr. J. B. Bell for the prosecution, and was in turn follow ed by Mr. Butler for the defense. Mr. Henry closed for the State. The speeches were all able and to the point. Messrs. Butler and Osborne deserve credit for the masterly man ner in which they conducted the de fense. They had what appeared to The Ledger man a difficult case but presented it in an able manner and brought out every point that could be brought out in favor of the pris oner. The case went to the jury about 1 o’clock and a verdict of man slaughter was reached between 7 and 8 o’clock. When the verdict was read Mr. Butler gave notice that a motion for a new trial would be made. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Butler asked that a new trial be granted because of newly discovered evidence. Judge Klugh granted the motion. While the jury was out in the Nero Littlejohn case, the case of Jim Jeter for the killing of Santa Anna Tate was called. There were but live wit nesses in this case and when these were examined Mr. Butler addressed the jury on behalf of the accused while Solicitor Henry spoke for the prosecution. The jury remained out all night and until nearly noon the next day and finally sent word to Judge Klugh that they were unable to reach a verdict. The judge order ed a mistrial announced. In both these cases Mr. Butler’s examination of the State’s witnesses was most crucial. Yesterday morning tho court of General Sessions was convened. The first case to come up was that of Gaily Perry vs. the Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Company. In th'S case Mr. Perry seeks damages because the Carpet Mill empties the refuse from its dye vats into a branch that courses through his land. The en tire forenoon was occupied in the ex amination of witnesses for the prose cution. The case promises to be ^he most interesting one cn the civil docket and there will be lively tilts between council and a great deal of testimony. ACCIDENT AT ROCK HILL. Sold by R. M. WILKINS & CO.

The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial results than from months spent at different lithia springs In diffi rent parts of the Cnlted ‘'tales.

Luke's in Lancaster county, met with an accident at tbe Southern depot in this city Wednesday even ing that resulted in the loss of his left hand. He was a passenger on the northbound train, which arrives here at 8:28, and when the train ar rived at Kock Hill Mr. Moore says he did not hear the porter call Rock Hill, but when the cars began to move after the passengers were dis charged, Mr. Moore, who thinks be must have been dosing, suddenly took in the situation, and after being told that the station just passed was Rock Hill, left the train hurriedly and leaping from the platform out upon the ground fell forward upon his stomach, his left hand upon the iron rail, and in a moment the hand was crushed under the ponderous wheels of the train. Bystanders took liim in band and carried him to the office of Dr. ftteven*. where the arm was amputated at the elbow. The injury was so serious that there was no hope of saving the hand. Mr. Moore is now at the home of Dr, Stevens on Hampton street. He will be able to return to his home in a few days. We understand that Mr. Moore has a policy for $5,000 in one of the acci dent insurance companies. [Mr. Moore is well and favorably known in Gaffney and by many throughout the county. Our readers will remember him as having written several interesting letters in The Ledger under the nom de plume of “Farmer’s Friend," in which he im parted much useful information about farming; and we feel sure that ail of them will regret to hear of his recent misfortune.—Ed | A Coining MarrlMgo.

Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood Its severest tests, hut her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally dis covered a way to recovery, by pur chasing of us a bottle of Or.

Narratt and *011 Will Open One In Gaffney at an Early Day. I. G. Sarratt and his son, Boyd, will open up a leather and harness shop at au early day in the building opposite The Ledger office. These gentlemen have been running a lan yard near Limestone during the year and their harness will be made from the leather manufactured at their tannery. They will also have a shoe making department, and both their shoes and harness will be sold at wholesale and retail. They have se cured the services of Mr. Jarvis Kimbrel, a man who has had forty or fifty years experience in the leather business, and he will have charge of their harness-making department. This will fill a long-felt want in Gaff ney, especially in the harness line, and as the Messrs. Sarratt manufac ture their own leather, which should enable them to compete with other houses of a like nature at a distance, we predict for them a success. We hope they may realize our prediction. Mr. ItohertHon Warmly Graded. Rev. B. 1\ Robertson met with an extra warm greeting from the stu dents of Limestone College on his re turn from Charleston where he had been spending a month's vacation. The courses he is giving in the col lege are very able,thoroughly popular and up to the highest standard of ex cellence and they are creating great enthusiasm among the young ladies. Every woman in the country ought to know about Mother’s Friend Those who do know about it wonder how they ever got along without it. It has robbed child birth of its terrors for many a young wife. It has preserved her girlish figure and saved her much suffering. It is an external lini ment and carries with it therefore, absolutely no danger of upsetting the system as drugs taken intern ally are apt to do. It is to be rubbed into the abdomen to soften aud strengthen the muscles which are to bear the strain. This means much less pain. It also prevents morning sickness and all of the other discomforts of pregnancy. A druggist of Macon, Ga., says: “I have sold a large quantity of Mother’s Friend and have never known an instance where it has failed to produce the good results claimed for it.” A prominent lady of Lam- berton. Ark., writes: “With my first six children 1 was in labor from 24 to 30 hours. After using Mother’s Friend, my seventh was born in 4 hours." Got Mot bar'* Friend at tho druir Store, 81.00 per bottle.
