The Court of General Sessions and
Common Pleas concluded its business
on Friday last. Judge Watts holds
court this week at Spartanburg. The
case of the State vs. M. C. Cunning
ham charged with the murder of Mr.
Wilson Boyd was heard on Tuesday
last. The ciho went to the Jury about
5 o'clock p. m, They deliberated all
night and at !> a. in, on Wednesday
came into Court and announced that
they could not agree. Whereupon a mis
trial for t he second time wasorderedand
tho panel discharged. Charley Greon,
colored, was tried on Wednesday for
arson In burning the dwelling of Mr.
J. U. Halrston, The Jury found a ver
dict, of guilty with a recommendation
to mercy, which saved "bio neck bano"
and he was sentenced to til teen years
in the Penitentiary. It will be remem
bered that this man was formerly con
vlctod with two confederates, who were
executed, but a new trial was awarded
Green which resulted ? as Stated. Mr.
J, I). Halrston, one of the best young
citizens of Laurens, was subsequently
assassinated sitting at his fireside In
his dwelling and no arrests havo ever
been made.
Dennis Book, colored, was tried for
tho murder ol Perry Book, his brother.
It being clear it was an accidental kill
ing, the Solicitor consented to a vor
diot of acquittal. This ease had an
unprecedented feature. The two Kooks
burglarized tl.c store of Messrs Owens
Bros, at Clinton, among the plunder
being three bull dog pistols and in de
ciding these spoils one ol* the pistols
was discharged, killing Perry. Thus
in the very execution of a crime came
awful retribution.
Sam Caldwell, colored, was sent to
the Ponitontary six months or pay
$100. This ended the Sessions business.
The Grand Jury were discharged for
tho term on Tuesday and their present
ment will be found elsewhere. The
new civil business is as light as a gos
samer, and like Othello, the festive at
torney has about lost his occupation.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to bo Incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced It a local disease and pro?
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced It incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to bo a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional eure on tho market.
It is takon internally in doses from 10
props to a touspoonful. It acts di
rectly on tho blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They oiler one
hundred dollars for any caso it fails to
eure. Send for circulars and testimon
ials. Address,

Terrtllu Explosions,
SAVANNAH, July 20.?A series of ex
plosions occurred in one of the powder
magazines at Fort Pulaski, the first
explosion being very heavy. Sergeant
Charles Chinn, of the United States
army and his wife, were both badly in
jured. Further damage is not known,
as communication by wire is cut oil.
The explosions are still going on at in
tervals.
There is a gang of 40 men working
on the new magazine constructing a
mining casement, and part of the fort
is now on lire.
Captain O. M.Carter of the. United
States engineer corps has gone down
to tiie fort with physicians. The fort
is If) miles down the river and is being
put Into use for harbor defense by mak
ing submarine mines and planting tor
pedoes. Tho new work may be dam
aged.
Pulaski was tho llrst fort seized by
Govornor Brown boforo Georgia seced
ed in 1801.
Viands not Asked for. -The
tramp reached the kitchen door with
Out accident or incident and knocked.
At the third knock the hired girl,
with her sleeves rolled up and several
dabs of soapsuds on her nose, came to
see what was wanted.
"Can I get some cold victuals here?"
he asked, as if there was a doubt in
his mind.
"How would chainpaignc and a little
chicken salad strike you?" she Inqulr-,
ed, with that koon and cuuol sarcasm
every hi rod girl seems to be loaded
with for just such occasions.
Ho looked at her scornfully.
"I didn't say cold viands, mam." ho
replied, reprovingly. "I said cold vie
tuuls victuals ?v-i-t-t-l-e--.: do you un
der.;! and that?''
What, he got after that is too pain
ful to narrate.
