Wednesday, June 27, 1900. A homicide yas committed on Saturday night. The court for ine trial ot criminal cases con vened Monday morning. The case against the man charged with this high offense was given out to the grand jury Monday morning. They promptly found a true bill, charging murder. To those familiar with the deliveries of Judge Beneton the importance of speedy trials of criminals expected that the case would be tried at this term of court, but it was not. Who is to blame for this tardiness of justice about , which you have all heard and ] read so much we do not know, < but ordinarily the continuance of a case is a matter for the discretion of the presiding judge. At any rate, the case was continued and now the county must foot the bill consequent upon the con tinuation. Court Proceeding*. Court convened here Monday, but only remained in session an hour or so. True bills were found by the grand jury in the , following cases, which were ( continued to the next term : E. J. Faulkner, obtaining goods I under false pretenses ; Job 11 E. Black moil, Geo. Hilton and Grant Allsbrooks, separate cases, violation of dispensary law ; James Pate, assault and battery with intent to kill ; ' Henry Magill, burglary and larceny; George Eubanks, murder; Paul Duncan, housebreaking and larceny. The case of J. A. Vaughn, obtaining 1 goods under false pretenses, was < nol pressed upon payment of ' costs, as was also the case of Alexander Blackmon, assault and battery with intent to kill. The grand jury recommended 1 in their report that a new car pet be put 011 tho courthouse floor. Helen Gould at Wellesley. Wellesley, Mass., June 25.?

X - -- - - WORKING IN CHINA. Oh sta South Carolinians Who are Missionaries There. *hi , Oa There are quite a number of ! South Carolinians in Ohina at t"1 missionaries, which gives people jf this state a deep interest in the troubles of the Flowery qu Kingdom. The following from Co the Greenville Mountaineer gives hai the names of many of the South Caroliua missionaries: "There is a great interest now j?r manifested in the safety of the . Christian missionaries in China, !n many of whom have gone from 18 this section of the country. In ^ 'act, South Carolina has furnish- Sti ?d a large proportion of the mis- C. lionaries from every denomination, and naturally their relatives ind friends are quite anxious ibout their welfare. ^ "But so far as can be ascer- op, tained there is only one South net Carolinian in the disturbed dis- Ri< trict around Pekin and Tien-Tain. ' This is Mrs. Gilbert Keid, who j4U was Miss Sallie Reynolds. She vel went out to China about eight "j" shears ago as a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church, kni South, but returned to this coun- ter try and while here was married te* in Columbia to Rev. Gilbert Reid, whom she had met in China. Dr. atc Keid was a Presbyterian mis lionary but conceived the idea of Founding an international insti- ' tute for the education of the uD higher class of Chinese, and upon , P this plan he has been working For the last few years. He has . the confidence of the powers that . be in China and is quite close to Qr( the ruling class. He has visited .' this country and Europe in the interest of his scheme and is regarded as a very able man. "Mrs. Raid is a sister of Dr. S. M. Reynolds, of this city, and Dr. Reynolds has not heard from her since he received a letter j5 written about the middle of Vu March, in which the "Boxer" troubles were mentioned only casually. When this letter was re< written, Dr. and Mrs. Reid were of at Pekin, and Dr. Reynolds be- m lieves they are still there. Inas- a i much as mail and cable commu- wj nication is interrupted. Dr. Re'y w, nolds is naturally very much ^ concerned about his sister's safety. "Nearly all the Presbyterian missionaries from this state are th in the Mid-China mission, as it is m called. At Hangchow is Miss th E. C. Davidson, of Yorkville. At co hashing are Rev. and Mrs. W. P. ex Hudson, the former a son of Mr. W. A. Hudson, of (ireenville. They are in no danger at present, ev A a.

Du- j Boee, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Wilkin- Fli ion, Miss AddieSloan, Miss Km ma I"' VlcKnight and Mrs. M. P. McCornick. Dr. Wilkinson is a tnedi- me ;al missionary who went from ter Jreenville and his wife is a to 1 laughter of Mr. G. D. Barr, of Lhis city. At Chu Chow Foo are he< Rev. Mark R flrmr M 11 1U? ?. Drier is well known in South Oarolina as a member of the ^ Family of that name. All these d0? ire stationed in the Mid-China wo mission except Mr. and Mrs. ^ Drier, who are in the North Ki- ? mgsu mission. ^ Of the missionaries maintained ay the Southern Baptist conven- Jl ;ion, Miss Lula F. Whilden, whose 'elatives live in Greenville, is at Canton, in the South China mislion. In the North China mission Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Ilartwell and Ar Miss Annie Hartwell are at Tung th< Jhow, province of Shantung, wa vhich is south of i'ekin. These missionaries still retain their ' 6 membership in the First Baptist on :hurch of Greenville. In the jrr Jentral China mission are L?i iral South Carolinians. Rev. j Wesley W.

Miss John* lie iSanders. of Union, a mission- q try sent out by the Woman's o foreign Missionary society of the A. K. church, South, is at Shang-' lai, out of danger. "Rev. J. A.
