AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Rev. 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

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.

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. Ilej
took this matter up at the tiine!(
