EMIGRANT AGENT PULLED. j 'relimirary Hciring Held Yesterday? j Case Sent to Upper Court. There was something doing in j dacintntte Grayson's court Tuesda\ , l11<I Wednesday. On Tuesday h pro-' jminaiy hearing was bold in the, ruse ot tin? State against Xoab Siu-i jletary, charged with murder. On I iccount of injufticiencv of evidence, j lie case was dismissed and the do endant released. The crime al-j eged again.it Singlet,try was the. ;illing of bis wile, Caiolina SiDgle ary, the woman wlio was found dead 1 _ | n the woods near Seranton soma | ime ago. 'J'lie evidence against the h fendant was purely circumstantial nd in the opinion of the court it, ras not sufficiently strong to war-' ant him in sending the case to# the cssious court. An interesting case yesterday was lie preliminary hearing in the mater of the State ts Alva Smith, harged with carrying on the busiless of an emigrant agunt without a : icense. Smitli hails from Shirk",1 ' la, and represents himself as being ; -onuecied with the lirni of Smith, i Lowell & Co., natal stores manu-1 acturers. He was represented by! dessrs Lee and Kelley, while Messrs' rillaud and Gilland were council for! he prosecution. The warrant was! worn out hv Col VF B Wilson of! ialem. After hearing the testimony i iffered l?v the State and the argu- j neiits'of council, the court rul?d! hat the State had made out its case .ml ordered it sent up to the upper ourt. Bail for the defeudant was ixed in the sura of $500. It seems that some days ago Smith out a negro, one S J McCutcheu to his county to get up hands to take; o Florida. The negro was arrested iud is now in jail. Smith came to he rescue of his emissary and it is illegvd that he took occasion to do oino soliciting on his own account. ni __.i . t 11 ! L lie outcome or mesc cuee& is waited with much concern, as it is i matter of vital interest to the aimers whether or not the law igainst emigrant accnts can be en'orceil. WONDERFUL NERVE.

Very Little Real Work Done?Lien Law May be Repealed?Prospect of New Jail for Williamsburg. The Capital,Columbia, January 18:?The General Assembly corm-Ded on Tuw-uav,January 12th, with uearly all the members preset)I. Very little time was spent in ojxmin;; formalities and the hodv settled down. Several bills huve been introduced, but very little real work has been done. Electioneering for the different candidates is the principal occupation of the members and then friends. Little is heard except the j merits aud demerits of the different aspirants. The elections will be held j nest Thursday and until they arc over the regular business will receive J but a small share of attention. Justice Woods will be re-elected withouti oppoS'tion. Mr W 0 Tatuin will be the next liquor commissioner, the other candidate, C'apt Black, having withdrawn from the race. Mr Tatniu is a brother-in-law of our Mr T E Salters of Sal*era. "Hub" Evans' and McDermott want to he chairman of the Board of Control. Evans'j election seems to bo pretty well cooceded. For the other places ou the Board, Walker and Boy kin are leading with Towill and Wylic* making ilie race interesting. It is safe to say that Miss LaBorde will be reelected State Librarian, though Misses Blacky I)acti9 and Tompkins are seeking the position.

The lien law is already receiving attention. I& repeal is called for by a bill introduced Wednesday. The House seems willing to vote for the measure if the people want it repealed, but they desire to know the will of the majority before taking such a radical step as the killing of this law. Some of our clearest headed legislators seem to think that wisest thing to do would be to refer the matter back to the people for settlement. Playing with road law goes merri lv on. Another attempt at making a flexible law is being made. A bill has been presented which provides that the county commissioners shall fix the number of days during which labor shall be performed on the roads, and that the commutation tax shall be at the rate of twenty five cents per day. A reso-1 Intion has passed the Hoin?e provid- J ding for an amendment to the Constitution permitting special legislation on the working, opening and j maintaining of highways. This I seems to be the mo3t favored solution of the much vexed load question, j The resolution passed the House by j a tremendous majority, there being ! only two nays. The Senate by a vote of 15 to 14 sent the Shad bill back to the com- j mittee on Thursday. Those opposed I to the measures'are making desperate efforts to kill or side track it, but it is believed that there are enough Senators who are unwilling for a few people of Georgetown to monopolize the entire industry and finally destroy this best of all fish, to pass the Kill * The Lanham baggage bill was first voted down in the Senate, then reconsidered and finally passed with amendment fixing the anionut. of baggage at 200 pounds. .This must be concurred in by the House before becoming law.
