JULY TERM OF COURT ENDED. Adjourned Sine Die Thurs day Afternoon. THE JAIL CLEARED. The Hugh E. Uray Case Tried. A Contempt lootd??t?Court Officials (lone?Hood Work lor Hot Weather. Tlio July term of the Court of Gen eral Sessions is over. The adjourn ment was hud last Thursday afternoon. Judge Chas. G. Dantzlor loft for his homo Friday morning, and Solicitor Scaso and Stenographer Motto de parted on the midday train. Along with tho other officials thoy put In a good woek's work for hot weather? and it was hot. Tho jail was practi cally elearcd. Tho convict gang now doing duty on the highways of trade, u factor in tho good roads movement, was swelled numerically by twelve re cruits. Tho case of John G. Wham for niur dor of L. W. Ramagc on July, Oth lust, was called at twelve o'clock Thursday. Tho Stato was ready. Hut on motion of defendant's attorneys, based on the fact Unit Mrs. Sallle Q* Wham, who was sutVering from nervous prostration, Judge Dant/.lcr continued tho case un til the October term. It was generally expected that this case would be tried und a large crowd gathered. Tho Stato against II. 13. Cray, in dicted for disposing of a balo of cotton under lien and mortgage to S. H. & M. 13, Johnson was tried, and the defend ant convicted, and sentenced to pay a lino of forty dollars. An incident in this caso that created considerable interest occurred at tho opening of Court Thursday morning. A printed state ment signed by H. E. Gray, giving a history of the ease, which had been distributed, having come to the notice of the Court, was the occasion of the Judge asking Mr. Gray if it was in tended ay him that tho jurors should read it. It being admitted that the circular was for that purpose, among others, tho Judge required Mr. Gray to show cause why he should not bo Judged in contempt of Court. Upon hearing his return the Court imposed a line of $'25. Judge Dant/.lcr made a few remarks in imposing this line as to the ovil ciVects of any attempts to influence juries, either in this manner or any othor. There were certuin facts in this case, however, that caused him to bo very lenient. This was an unusual incident and about tho only event of any significance during Court. A PLEAS\NT HOUSE PARTY At Tumbling Shoals?What Thoy Did Who They Were. i One of tho most delightful occasions of the season has been a house parly given by MIbb Sara Sullivan at her beau tiful country home, ntnr Tumbling Shoals. The party, consisting of twelve girls and boys, was met at Lanrcns, Monday tho 20fn, and after a drive of fifteen miles through tho country they were entertained with a reception. On the brightly-lighted lawn occuricd many touching scenes meant for other ears than tho stately onks. The decorations of greon and white were artistically ar ranged, and music by the Tumbling Shoals band lent grace to tho evening. On tho following day and night Miss Margie Sullivan entertained tho party with a dining and sociable, which was quite a success. Mies Sullivan has al ways proved herBclf a charming hostess. Wodnesday, after n pleasant excursion to the old Bethel Camp ground, a de lightful dining was given by the hostest*, many friends being present, the Rev. S. C. Todd amon, the number. Thursday tho party was met by tho Donalds, Honea Path and Princeton crowds to picnic at Ware Shoale. A very pleasant day was spent on the large roeWs and tho beautiful river. Ono of the young ladles, while attempt ing to cross the river with a very dear friend, forgot what a dangerous bridge v ?iio was walking qn until her foot sud denly slipped and she fell into the mer ciless waters. Tno friend, however, by risking his own life, saved her from tho terrible rocks below. Tho last evoning, Iho Mij6es Sharp entottiined tho honso parly, and also a crowd from Columbia, S. C. As tho liretraysof tho sun shone forth Friday morning, tho party wero found journey ing to Iho station to catch the early trains.

Windsor ? WWWWWWVWYVWT^/YW? Cyril Mooro, lawyer, was not uoted for tUe (ttinvlty <>f Iiis manner nor ttio mildness <>f his gluilCC. BotU wore im usually Bcypro this morulng, and Ik* \\:ik not Inclined to deal gently with his disturber, lie had been Interrupted in the consideration of nu Important matter, but Dorothy Dale's brown eyes in \ r tl Inched before bis deep set gray ones. 'Tlonse, may I talk to you a few minutes?" ehe asked In her soft little voice. "1 oiu very busy," he returned, "und gave orders that I was not to be dis turbed." " The elevator boy showed me your office, nnd there was no one In the oth er room, und so I enmc In," said Doro thy. The lawyer made an impatient move ment, mentally resolving upon the con Bure which Wilson should receive for leaving the entrance to the oflleo un guarded. I Two little red spots had crept Into Dorothy's face, but she went on brave I ly: "You see," she began, "I"? Tho lawyer again moved Impatiently nnd frowned, but his Binnll visitor per sisted. "it Is so important, you see." There wns a keen note of anxiety In her voice, but the brown eyes never wa vered. And what was there In their depths which brought to the lawyer's mind a vague memory and made him look at his visitor with a stirring of In terest, then hesitate nnd finally push aside the papers over which he had been absorbed and say shortly: "What Is It? 1 can give you a few minutes." "Oh. thank you," Bald Dorothy po lltely. "It Is about that position In tho Hilton school." Cyril stared In surprise. What could this little, old fashioned girl have to say about that? It would bo Interest ing to know. He pushed his papers farther away nnd leaned back in his sea t. "Sit down," he said, pointing to a chair. Dorothy obeyed with a grave "Thank you," settling herself comfort ably In the chair which was bo high that her feet were quite a distance from the ground. Her blue felt sailor hat was pushed back on her head, nnd Bevern I soft brown rings of her hair had found their way to her forehead. She lifted her clear eyes to the lawyer, nnd again their depths vaguely stirred his heart. "You see, auntie lost all her mowey in Boston, nnd so WO had to come hero to live. Auntie owns n little house here, nnd she says that is better than noth ing. And yesterday Mrs. Pr?den told her they wanted n teacher in that school and that auntie must try to get it right away." j "Oh, Indeed," ejaculated Cyril. "You see," she went on in a confiden tial tone, "auntie knows a lot of things. She belonged to ever so many clubs lu Boston, Every one says that she is so clever." Dorothy paused to boo if the lawyer was properly impressed with tbo im portance of her nuuf's nccmiremonts. "Yes," said Cyril pollKuyT "Mrs. Pruden told nuntie that you could let her teach that school, but last evening a letter came from Mr. While in Boston to Bay auntie must come to sec him right off. You see, ho attends to all of her business. So she had to go on tho early train this morn ing." Hero Dorothy stopped, out of breath. Cyril uttered an Interrogative "Yes." Dorothy smiled up at him. "And I was afraid she might ho too kite when she came back, and then it 'will be such a nice surprise for her when she does come back for me to tell her 1 came to see you about It." "Then she doesn't know what you are doing?" queried Cyril. "Oh. no. I waited till she was gone." "Where do you live?" questioned Cyril. "Over on Itose Crescent." The lawyer did not recognize the lo cality, but there had been many changes In the old town during thoso years In which he had been absent from It. "Auntie will bo a splendid teacher, j You see, she's so sweet. Won't you please try her?" In her eagerness Dorothy nroso and stood beside Cyril, placing her hand In its woolen mitten on his arm. The little action thrilled 111 OK A Bud den realization of the loneliness of his rife smote him, and again tho ehlld'd brown eyes awoke that memory. "Please/won't you?" urged Dorothy, with nn unconscious pressure of his mm. Cyril looked^ down Into tho enger face with an expression in his own that few had seen there during later years. "I'll see what I can do. I must knrw more of her qualifications. I moan," ho explained kindly, "If she knows nil the things that the person who teaches in that Bchool must know I'll do my best." "Oh, thank you. I'll go now." Doro thy slipped off tho mitten and gravely tendered her band to tho lawyer. Ho rose and bowed over It with more cere mony than ho had for many years shown any other member of her sex. Dorothy flashed a confiding smllo nt him and tripped jauntily away through the outer office, much to the surprise of Wilson, who was now nt his post Wilson was still moro surprised that afternoon when on going into the law yer's private room ho found him put ting his desk In order and was waved nwny with: "Don't bother mo with that now. It's such a flno afternoon I think I'll tako a walk and look at that Dorren property." Wilson went back tq his desk.

They bad been walking back, and now she stopped In front of a modest house standing back from the street. "Come In," she said. "Auntie's Just got home. I didn't tell her about It yet." Cyril followed her up tlie garden path and Into the house. She led him into a room opening off a small hall. A lady seated before an open lire roso at his entrance.

Ho took the bunch of violets from his coat. "I remember you were al ways fond of violets, Rebecca. Are you el ill?" He held the fragrant blossoms toward her, and Miss I'owers, nfter a glanco Into his face, took them from bis hand. She held them to her lips a moment, then fastened them carefully in her bosom.
