'iMW~ER i EyRY. Evidence on Which the Accused Were Held for Trialfor Murder. Greenvzlle News. Newberry, S. C., June 24.-The defendants charged with the murder of Lovet Williams, a negro woman at Pomaria in 1895, were given a pre liminary hearlug before Magistrate S. S. Cunningham on yestereay. Owing to the absence of Solicitor Sease, Cole L, Blease appeared for the State, while the defendants were rep resented by Hunt & Hunt and J. Y. Culbreah and Senator Ragsdale, of. Winnsboro, the latter for two Fair fie:d men. The warrant charges W. T. Hatton, Adam L. Aull, Albert F. Riser, Jim Blair, Robert Blair, East tFulmer and Wash Wicker with the murder of one Lovet Williams, at or near Pomaria, in Newberry county, in 1895. Owing to the fact that this affair has created a great deal of interest the magistrate's small court room was crowded with people who seemed to be eagerly- expecting some startling disclosures to be made. Mr. Blease says that the reason he examined so few of the State's wit nesses was simply to bring out enough evidence to make a probable case and hold the 'defendants without making known to the defense the character of the evidence the State's side had in its possession. It may prove best for these defend ants, five of whom are prominent white men, charged with-such a grave offense that the case has been sent to the sessions court, where they will hava a full investigation, and if the evidence the State is holding biek is no stronger than that brought out at the preliminary yesterday they will have very little trouble in being vindi cated and acquitted of the crime charged against them. At the be ginning there was a little tilt between the lawyers on the question as to the prisoners pleading to the warrant. The attorneys for the defense insisted there was no law to require them to plead, and Mr. Blease said there would be no hearing unless some answer was set up to the warrant. After some discussion Mr. Ragsdale said the de fendants wore not guilty, and this was taken as a sufficient plea to the charge and the case proceeded. The follow ing is an exact transcript of the - testi mony: By Mr. Blease: D. A. Livingston sworn, says: Lived on 8th January, 1895, at 'omaria. Went over to Pros perity on or about that date to have work on teeth. Didn't do anything much that day. Went with Hatton, Aull, Riser to-Prosperity-W. T. Hat ton, Adam Aul!, Albert Riser, the two Blairs (defendants), East Fulmer, Wash Wicker. Went to Kibler's office and had teeth fixed. They were hunt ing Williams. woman, who had stolen some stuff from Mr. Blair. I had seen her at Pomaria day before dressed in si.lk. They found where she was and went and got her. Tied her and carried her and put her in buggy and carried her to Pomaria. Saw her in buggy with Aull and -Riser sitting on her lap or she was on their lap. Went to Pomaria with them. Treated her as kind as could. Didn't mistreat her. She asked to stop and got out of the buggy and Wash Wicker followed and out a cedar switch and cut her over back. Aull, Hatton, Fulmer saw this done. They had charge of her but let her step to one side. Didn't see her at Pomaria. No cross-examInation. Redirect: This was in Newberry county, State of South Carolina. Have never seen her since and' would not know her if I[would see her. By Mr. Blease: L. L. Bolick sworn, says: Live at Ridgeway, this State. Was constable for trial justice in 1995. Knew woman named Lovet Williams. Never had warrant in my hands. Ther. was warrant for her for breaking in Robt. Blair's house. Warrant was placed in R. T. Blair's hand, but not directed to him to serve. Do not know of my own knowledge what became of war rant. Mr. Blair did not tell me he served warrant, but said woman had been arrested. Could not tell whether she was ever -brought before any trial justie-not 'while I was present. My, duty to- bout there when trials are' had, arid if she was ever brought there don't know it. Lovet Williams had cooked for Mr. Blair, but when house was broken in Mr. Blair was not at home. Lovet Williams had been about there about month or six weeks. Never have seen her since. -yMr. Rsgsdale: She was a stran ge around Ridgeway. Had no peo pl aroud there. Had only been there moth or six weeks. First place sbe worked was at Robert Blair's. By Mr. Blease: P'olly Sligh sworn, says: Lived in January, '95, in Newberry county, near Pomaria. Heard some hollering around my house 1895. Can't tell what time of year it was. Heard some one holler murder three times. Can't tell whether man.or woman. Beard shooting-pistols-not far from creek. Mr. W. T. Hatton came to my house after shooting, called out Joe, my husband, and asked* if he saw any woman pass. Joe said no. I live two miles from Pomaria. Mr. -Hatton came- to izy house about 11 o'c!ock. Hadn't long ate supper when I heard noise, but when Mr. Hatton came had supper good smart while. From my house. shooting -was up towards rail' road. Cane on each side of railroad thik. Didn't see anybody else. I[n the evening saw buggy pass my house with two men in it in road toward field-not public road. Couldn't tell who they were. After shooting never heard anything mote. Have never talked to Mr. Hatton since. Tue State closed testimony. Magstrate Cunningham said at the conclsion of the argument: "I would like to say that the attorneys for the defendants do not think there is a probable cause of guilt, but I do think there is a probable cause of guilt, and therefore I send the case up." The defendants, through their attor neys, gave notice they would make ap plication for bail, and it seems from the evidIence so far adduced they should have little trouble in secnring it. 1(ow to Look Good.

MU "'HOBSON'S CHOICE." .iew York World. Whenever the question What is be done for Hobson? is put to t proper officials at Washington, reply has invariably been: "We waiting to find out from him what wants." That is, a hero is to be requested t put a price on his heroism, to estimat carefully the worth of his own gal lantry. At first glance the proposal seem generons. On second thought it be gins to take on an aspect of sordi vulgarity. It invites Bobson to ma a second self-sacrifice by modestl asking for some very little reward day off "to see his Belle Aurore,s perhaps. Or it compels him to pud himself forward as a conceited hero who thinks he ought to have the earthr and the moon also as a reward. That is, the officials at Washingtou hreaten this hero with a true prover bial "Hobson's choice"-a choice 0? vils, a choice that is no choice at alL. Clearly, the only way in which thisl atter of just recognition can properly .nd decently be left to Hobson is by arranging twyo distinct. and definite' chemes of promotion and lotting him choose between them. And incidentally it may be well to emark that the World has informationl of the plana of certain enemiee of [obson at Washington, and that they will only make trouble for themselves fthey insist upon the proverbial Hobson's choice" instead of an hon est, generous American choice for [obson. Perhaps the officials who are ow bein.g deceived by these same in triguers will realize from this hint hat sort of business they are in dan ger of aiding. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than tall other diseases put together, and *until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro onced it a lo~cal disease, and pre scribed local remedies, -and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu tonal disease and therefore requires onstitutional treatment. Bali's Ca tarrh Cure, man'ifactured by F. J. Cheney &i Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mncous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.
