According to a letter received l>y Iiis counsel here. Mr. Wade Cothran Pln son, the young white man who was on March I2th. cotlvlcted of man slaughter in tin- criminal court of Lau retta county, is now in the state peni tentiary. Why. is not known. It is recalled thai Pinson shot and killed his young frien I, Thorn well Boyce, near cross inn on the nlghl of November ?'?rh. of last j enr: and that in the trial before Judge Prince on March 12th. he was convicted of man slaughter and sentenced to n term ol two years in the state penitentiary, j His counsel. Messrs Cannon & Black well and Ferguson Fentherstone gave notice of an appeal to be tiled With the supreme court. Pending this appeal. Pinson has been at liberty on a bond of $1,000 signed by his father. Mr. Enoch B. Pinson and his uncle. Mr. T. M. Pinson. The appeal was per fected and filed in due order, and it was expected to come up before the supreme court in March. No one here seems to know why IMnson has gone to the penitentiary; | some suppose that it was a sudden I impulse. His counsel knew nothing Of any intention on the part of their Client to abandon his appeal. While he is at the penitentiary. Mr. IMnson is not a prisoner for the neces sary papers committing him there, have not been prepared. It is expect ed that Mr. E. B. IMnson. father of the 1 young man, will be in the city today and will confer with the attorneys in the case What the outcome will be !s >npossible to state at present. Superintendent Griffith of the state penitentiary wrote to Clerk of Court j J. F. Holt of Laurens asking for tho committment papers; and, it is under-! stood that IMnson himself wrote to his j attorneys for the papers. Cpon re quest by Attorney Cannon, the clerk ; of court postponed the matter of the papers nntil today, when .Mr. lMuson's father is expected to arrive. Mr. R. B. Vance retired from merchan dising to accept a position in Bailey's : Hank. The only changes of location have been made by the Dillard Roland com- [ pany and the Cooper Trading company. The former moved into the store made vacant by Mr. Vance's retirement, and the latter into the building purchased by them from the Vance estate. Various small improvements in the way of paving, plate glass windows, paint and the like have helped the town. There is still room for great improvement along this line and the civic league have plans on foot for next year that may result in great things for Clinton.
