The moon walked into the dark

appointment, one minute and a half

The Court of General Sessions did
not finish its work until Saturday.
The last two cases tried took up cou
4iderable time. The parties were white
nd were defended by counsel and
he cases were con tested vigorously.
When The Herald and News went
:o press last week the verdict in the
Jim Davis case had not been an
riounced. it was guilty. The sentence
is seven months in the penitentiary or
pay a fine of $75. The attorney for
Davis, Col. Johustone, has given no
:ice of appeal.
The case against George Morris, Sr.,
,xeorge Morris, Jr., Sam Morris, Capers

esulted in a mistrial. Wednesday and
Phursday were occupied in the trial.
he jury was out all of Thursday night,
)ut could uot reach a verdict.. There
were twenty-six witnesses examined
n the case. This ease is the outcome
f the fight at Prosperity on the day of
he great debate between Butler and
stokes.
All of Friday was occupied in the
rial of the case against John Rudd, D.
. Scurry, James Koon, Whales Ken

The Grand Jury presentment is as
eported last week except there is a re
ommendation to put a fire proof vau;t
n the office of the Probate Judge. The

HE STOLE A BALE OF COTTON.
Was Captured and is Now in Jail.
O Tuesday morning early, before th(
bu6iness men were at their places o:
business, James Suber alias Orland,
Gallman, drove into Newberry with t
one nore wagon loaded witb one balt
of cotton. He sold it to J. N. Martin.
It weighed 503 pounds and he received
$35.96 for it. He had unloaded it al
the Cotton Mills and received hi
money and was starting home. Aboul
that time Irvin Matfett, colored, canit
into town. He had bad a bale of cot
ton at Mr. Antine Buzhardt's gin
house the night before but on Tuesday
morning it was not there. lie saw thc
wagon tracks and came to Newberry.
The bale had his name on it. Summer
Bros. had a lie-i on it. The cotton was
soon spotted and Policeian Bisbop
was next seen riding on the wagoii
with Suber alias Gallman towards the
office of Justice Maybiu. The nioney
was recovered and Suber aiias Gall
man was sent to the j-til to await his
trial at the next Lerin of the se-iozius
Court.
The cotton was sold in the name of
Jim Suber, although the proper name
of the party is Orlando Gallimna and
he lives on Mr. T. B. Litzsty's place.
Gallman was in Newberry on Mon
day interested as one of tre oficers
of the church in a case against
some parties for disturbing the peace.
It is also said that he got some cotton
a few days ago that did not belong to
him, but he claimed that that was
through mistake.
He is also said to be an exhorter or
preacher in bie church.

About S**'tedules.
There have been v-mnany changes in
the schedules lately. . iat it is rather
difficult to keep up .. ' them.
There is no change the R. & D. of
the "cannon ball" or arly morning
train from Columbia, . d none on the
midday train from Ctlumbia. The
train from Greenville to Columbia in
the afternoon now arrives an hour
earlier. The change was made Mon
day. It passes Newberry now at 2.34
p. m., and makes close connection in
Columbia with the afternoon north
bound train on the C. C. & A. road.
Parties going north now do not have
to wait in Columbia if they leave New
berry on the 2.34 train, R. & D.
On the C. N. & L. road a change of
schedule went into effect on Monday
also. The passenger train from Clinton
to Columbia passes New berry at 9 a. mn.
and returns at 6.48 p. mn.
The present schedule suits us admi
rably, and so far as we know, every one
along the line, unless it be Laurens,
is very well pleased.

One Woman Kills Another.
On last Friday there was a homicide
in No. 6 Township on Mr. B. F. Grif
tin's place. Two negro women bad a
quarrel and they drew an axe and a
hatchet and finally one shot the other
!ead. Just what they quarreled about
does not-appear clear from the testino
1iv.
Manda Pitts killed Nora Simpson.
Two inquests were held. Trial Jus
tice Peter*ou held an inquest and issued
a warrant, and later Coroner Buist ar
rived and also held an inquest. Both
inquisitions have been niled in the
Clerk's office, but Manda Pitts has not
vet been arrested. It is said she donned
men's clothes and departed.
The testimony of Cinda Pitts taken
before Mr. Peterson is published here
with. She was present.
Ginda Pitts one of the eye witnesses
testified before .Mr. Peterson:
I live on i. F. Griffin's place in Newberry Coun
tv. I was at home on the ith day of November,
A. D. xa.tz. Manda Pitts was running after the
mules and then came to my house. She walked
in my house. Nora Simpson was standing in the
back door of my house. tanda Pitts walked up
to Nora Simpson and asked her what she had
(lone to her, Nora Simpson, that she and Lucy
Simpson should get after her about. Nora Simp
son said she had not bothered her. 'Manda Pitts
then said to Nora Simpson that she was.a-- lie.
Nora Simpson caught Manda Pitts by the shoul
der and told her not to cur-e her. Manda Pitts
then picked up a hatchet: Nora Simpson picked
up an axz. Then Harriet Pitts. the mother of
Alanda Pitts, came in and told her to get out of
doors if she -ld. I run out of the door with
mv child in mv arn.. Some one then threw the
axe out of doors. I heard Nora Simpson say to
Manda Pitts that she (Manda Pitts) had a con
cealed weapon about her person, and that she was
going to report her. Harriet Pitts then said, "Give
up the weapons." and thent 'a ke them
away. Harriet Pitts then shoved Aan
out of doors. I came in the house and told Manda I
Pitts not to shoot into the house. Mand-. .it
then told Nora Simpson to come out of 'house.
Nora Simpson told her she would not come out:
she would stay in the house as long as she wanted
to sLay. Then I walked in a roc'n of the house
and immediately heard a pistol sh,: Nora Simp
*son saidl. V"You have shot me." Then Manda
Pitts shot again. I saw her shoot this time. Nora
Simpson then fell and (ied at once. She did not I
speak. 31anda Pitts then run around the house
and tried to get in again, but her mother kept her

Mrs. J. D..hockley, after a brief and c
painful illness from pneumonia, died
last Monday in the 33d year of her age.
This grievous affliction, whi'h has fall
en so suddenly upon Mr. Shockley and ,
his children, has touched the sympa
thetic heart of our little community.
On a recent Sunday, a bright little
girl of a few summers, who lives In a t
s burb of the city, was taken to the
redidence of a lady friend by her father 9
and there to be left until his return; &
but before he left the house the child
hastily approached him with the earn
est request to be taken home imme
diately. "Why? Papa cannot take you ,
home until he comes back from church. A
You must stay here." "No, sir, right
now-right now." The importunity
of his little daughter, and her expres- ec
sion, caused him to yield or comnro- I
miise with her. "Then U'll take you to a
Uncle Blank's." She was satisfied. a
'When they had nearly reached the f;
door of her uncle's house the little ft
maiden quickly said: "Pa, stoop down
here, I want to tell you something,
easy," holding up her hand which
showed the m.ark of a burn across the 3
four little fingers, as she whispered,
"I burned themi on Mrs. --'s stove."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" "Be- el
cause," said the~ innocent little thing,"I y
was afraid Mrs. - would hear- me; a
she told me not to put my hand on the b
stove."
Including visitors, the attendance at
our Sunday-school has recently been
as high as sixty. The prayer-meetings
are like-wise generally well attended,
both iu the church and at the cottages N
when the weather is inclement. The
cottage prayer-meeting is helpful and
up-lifting in a religio-social way: it cc
brings the people togetheP in a kindly
and fraternal way. There is cal r'
