The James Brothers Arrested for Sell, ing Liquor Illegally. The fight against Mr. J. M. James’s establishment contin ues. On Monday Mr. J. M. James was arrested by the Sher iff for selling intoxicating liquors contrary to law. The arrest was made on a warrant issued by Trial Justice Floyd. Charles Price is the prosecutor in the case and C. T. Taylor is the witness. Mr. James appear ed before Justice Floyd, and waiving a preliminary hearing, was released on a $500 bond. His bondsmen are J. C. Black- well and J. H. Early. On the following day (Tues day) Mr. E. R. James, the broth er of Mr. J. M. James, was ar rested on the same charge and in a similar manner. Two cases were made against him. In both cases J. L. Wilkes is pros ecutor and T. H. Sansberry, witness. Mr. E. R. James also waived a preliminary hearing before-Justice Floyd and was released on a bond for the same amount -as his brother’s. His bondsmen are J. C. Willcox and L. S. Welling. The cases will come up for trial at the March term of the criminal court for Darlington county. This makes three cases now against Mr. J. M. James, the one out of which grew the recent raid is in the civil court for this county and the case made against him last summer is in the United States Court. On Wednesday next C. 8. Nettles, Esq., attorney for Mr. J. M. James, will make a mo tion before Judge Fraser (men tion of which was made in our last issue) to dissolve the in junction forbidding Mr. James from selling liquor. THE NEW SCHEDULE. M ore About the Advantageous Ar rangement on the Coast Line. The new schedule on the At lantic Coast Line, mention of which was made in our last is sue,went into effect on Sunday. As already stated the change is of great advantage to the people of Darlington. There is no change schedule of the south passenger train which Darlington at 7 oclock morning. This train connects at Florence with trains to Char leston, and Columbia. The north bound passenger passes Darlington at 7.38 o’clock in the evening instead of 7.53. This train connects at Flor ence with trains from Charles ton and Columbia. It will be noted that the connections of the passenger trains are the same as heretofore. There has been no change in the time for the freight trains, north bound and south bound to pass Darlington, but the new feature about these trains is that the south bound makes connection at Florence with trains for Charleston and Co lumbia and the north bound makes connection with trains from those points. This gives Darlington two through connec tions daily each way on the Atlantic Coast Line. SALEM COUNTY. Our Neighbor. Bishopville, Anxious to Become a County Seat. The town of Bishopville is am bitious to become a county seat. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature for the forma tion of a new county, to be named Salem, from portions ot Darlington, Sumter, Chester field and Kershaw counties. It is not thought however that the bill will pass. The following are the lines for the proposed new County : Beginning at the intersection of Rocky Creek with Lynch’s River, running in a straight southwesterly direction to the intersection of the lines of Flat Rock and DeKalb Township, thence in a southerly direction in a straight line to the inter section of Kofiing Creek Town ship line with the Sumter and Kershaw ( ounty line, thence running five miles in a south westerly direction to McGort’s Branch, thence following the said McGort’s Branch down to its intersection with Scorpion Swamp, thence following said Scorpion Swamp down to Swim ming Pens, where it crosses the E ublic road leading to Sanders’s [ridge, on Lynch’s River, up to a point due east of the town of Bishopville, then# running in a straight line in a northeast erly direction to a point on Black Creek four miles below where said creek crosses the Chesterfield and Darlington County line, thence runnin from said point up Black Creel to where said creek crosses the Chesterfield and Darlington County line, thence following said County line in a northeast erly direction to where it inter sects Cedar Creek, thence run ning in a line due north until it reaches a point sixteen miles from the intersection of Rock Creek and Lynch’s River, thence running due west from said point sixteen miles to the said intersection of Rock Creek and Lynch’s River, the begin ning course.” METHODIST CONFERENCE.
