II. .1. Canlhen was called to Darlington last Sunday to fill the pulpit of the Methodist Church in place of Rev. L\ F. Kilffo. the pastor, who was ill and unable to preach. Quarterly conference was held in the Methodist Church Sunday night after preaching. Rev. J. W. Harris, of the Kpworth Orphanage, will preach in the Methodist Church , Sunday morning and evening at the usual hours. \ Kev. J. Marion Dargan, presiding elder of Florence district, filled the puipit of the Methodist Church Sunday morning and even^ ing. Both sermons were earnest and forceful? a striking presentation of gospel truths, well worth the attention of the congregation present. Kev. II. J. Cauthen. the esteemed pastor of the Methodist rhnrch. has been granted a month's leave of absence by his congregation, and he takes passage to New York to-day, via Clyde Line Steamship. *o join his wife s ~u:i.i v?... auu cuiiu in i wi i\ A1? a token of regard supplementary to the vacation granted, a nice little sum was raised anions: Mr. Cauthen's members and friends to help defray the expenses of his trip to Mew York. This was a. pleasant surprise to Mr. Cauthen and a very graceful act on the part of his parishoners. Mr. A. Slide Coker, of Hebron, was on our streets Tuesday. We understand that there is a probability of Mr. Coker and bis family becoming citizens of Kings tree. We should certainly be glad to welcome Mr. Coker and his family as members of our community. We would n?k our correspondents to try and send in their letters so as to*reach us not later than Mon* day night. We try to make this department a feature of the paper, and bate to leave out anything that is sent in, but ofttimes these letters come 011 Wednesday, and even Thursday morning, when it is too late to publish them. 1 : cluiTire of | I ft W.

Kellehan is visiting at Dr L. i*. Johnson's. She is a sisier of Mrs. Johnson. Mr. C. S. Scott came in lrom Danville a 1'ew days a<to, and will again buy tobacco upon our tloors. iiev. Saddler occupied the pulpit at tile Presbyterian church Sunday, p reaching hotli morning and nielli. The tobacco sales grow larger everv dav. About six thousand pound* were sold Saturday. The prices went as high as 12 cents per pound. Geo. S. Legare, Esq., of Charles ^ w ' * Ion. candidate lor Congress, spent Tuesday in our town, and went on the tiiir picnic at Hudson's Mill Wednesday. The election held Monday to select an intendant to fill the unexpired term ol W. L Bass, resigntd, resulted in a tie, Mr. J. L. Stuckev and Mr. II. H. Singletafy receiving the same number of votes. Mi. L. A. Winston, of' Messrs. L. A. Winston it Co , has returned for the season, and will lend his assistance in keeping up the price of tobacco. The firm will occupy its old ouarters in nnck house No. 2. The Lake City Warehouse Company. the firm that owns the Planters' Warehouse property, have, purchased Irom Mrs. O. E. Singllelarv ;? lot on Dansing street ami adjoining their warehouse lot. A large pack house, etc, will be built 011 this lot at once. This pack house will be occupied by the American Tobacco Com pany, and the Imperial Tobacco Company will take the late quartnro I lio AmorifMi CnmrvJtiC MO V/? I IIV AX IllVyl JVUIt V The jury selected to inquire into the death of Samuel W. James finished its work last Friday. The finding of the jury was: "That the said Samuel W. James came so his death by being beaten and wounded on the head with a gun in the hands ot Lonnie (J. Myers, and from said wounds then and there, and in the said manner inflicted, the said Samuel W. J a me* did, there and upon the said date, die. And so the jurors aforesaid do say that the afore said Lonnie C. Myers, in manner and form aloresa d. Samuel W. James, then and there feloniously did kill, etc/' J. H. V. Oaskins has resigned the office of magistrate at this place. His resignation was sent I in Monday, and. of course, his I successor has not yet been named. We have heard tlie names of j Messrs. H. P. Baldwin and 0. F. Flowers mentioned in connection with the vacancy. .Air. Gaskins says that he cannot afford to retain the place for the salary paid. The office does not pay half enough, \ | and ilit? consequences is that when j j we iret a man who can fill the po- j sition lie is forced to* give it up. Mr. Gaskins has made a good j magistrate, one of the best we | have ever known, and we reuret UJttl lie iccn ^uili|jui?ru iw j v^if.n. We are afraid that it will he hard to fill his place. Another chapter, though very probably not the last, in the mat ter of Harry C. Ilolloway. A warrant, under which to hoM Holloway until requisition papers could could be signed up by the governor of Virginia, was prepared under the commonwealth's attorney, and contained, Mr. Daniel says, all the necessary allegations. Upon this warrant Ilolloway was arrested Monday afternoon by the sergeant of Norfolk. Mr. Daniel at once nut out lor j Richmond. On Tuesday lie presented his papers to Governor Montague, who signed the requisi tion about midday, lie returned to Norfolk tor his man only to I find that he had left on a tug boat. Seeking an explanation, he was informed that Holloway had been released by the judge of the corporation. Han*kle. He called upon Judge llapckle, and was in-, 'formed that Tunstail, White & Thorns, Hollowav's attorneys, had coine before him the day before on habeas corpus proceedings, asking that Holloway be released, and stating that they had just communicated with Governor Montague, and that lie (Governor Montague) *4liad held up the requisition.*' When Mr. Daniel produced from his pocket the F requisition papeis, signed by Governor Montague, which proved beyond doubt that the statement that the requisition was '-held up" was incorrect, the judge said it seemed to be a case of''bam pam," which means the same as our vernacular ''bamboozle.'' The idea was that he, the judge, was bamboozled by these lawyers into granting the order. Mr. D.iniel demanded of Judge Hanckle a statement in writing as to the mounds for releasing Hollowav, thereupon Judge Hanckle gave hi in a paper from which we quote the following: "Holloway was released on habeas corpus proceedings on the ground that there was no evidence that he was a fugitive from justice; and that under the j language of the Supreme Court of the U. S. in Ex parte Reggel. j 114 U. S. p., the petitioner can j insist on proof that lie was a fugitive from justice; that he was charged with crime when in the demanding State and tied to escape prosecution." In the case cited, 114 U. S. p. 642-()51, the Supreme Onnrt k;ivs! "Undoubtedly the act of Congress did not impose upon he executive authority of the territory the dutv ol surrendering; the appellant, unless it was made to appear, in some proper way, j that he was a fugitive from justice. In other words, the appellant was \ entitled, under the act of Congress, to insist upon proof that he was within the demanding State at the time he is alleged to have com mitted the crime charged, and subsequently withdrew from her jurisdiction, so that ho could not I j be reached by her criminal pro- j cess." Even a casual comparison j ot the reasons assigned by .Judge; Hanckie, with the language quoted | by him (we take the language j from the papers lie furnished) j from the case referred to, will) show that it is a clear esse of bam i boozle, and a thin one at that. \ The requirements of the Supreme Court were fully covered in the j papers that went from this Stale.! At the time Judge Hanckle made J his ruling he had not seen a single ; one of the requisition papers.
