The roof tim bers and sheeting of the main build ing are all on and the masons are at work on the clock tower, which, w r e learn, will be nearly one hundred feet high.

THE WEEK IN COURT. Kutlre Time Nltice Tuesday Morning De voted to LipHcniiili Littlejohn Case. Court convened at the usual hour Tuesday and resumed the hearing of the case of Littlejohn vs. Lipscomb. This caee originated a year or two ago in a criminal prosecution of Lit- tlejohn for stopping a country road, in which he was acquitted. Lip scomb removed the obstructions of the road and then Littlejohn pro ceeded against him for damages. But ler <t Osborne and Hall it Willis re presented the plaintiff and J. C. Jef feries and Hydrick and Wilson, of Spartanburg, represented the defen dant. There have been about one hundred witnesses sworn in this case, some of them were sworn on Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday was consumed in taking the testimony of the balance of them. By request of counsel the jury was sent on Tues day morning, accompanied by the sheriff, to the scene of contention about twelve miles from the city to view the obstructed road and take in the surroundings. They left the city early, in handsome livery stable vehicles, the sheriff driving the front team. The jury completed it’s work in the country and returned to the city about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The court convened at the usual hour and disposed of several minor cases, and took up the case of Morris vs. Littlejohn, which occupied most of the time of court in the afternoon when it was given to the jury. The judge then heard some arguments and passed some orders. The jury in the Morris and Jjittlejohn case was out when court adjourned, but came out about II o’clock with a sealed verdict.
