We learn with regret that Mr j;
James Hen-y Rice, Jr.,. has severed j
his connection with the Conway!
"Field." Mr Rice is a man of broad i
culture and vast stores of learning.:
He is withal a born newspaper man.
and we fear that "Th" Field" will |
find it a difficult matter to secure an-!
other editor of such versatile talent
and varied accomplishments.
We learn that a short time ago a
gentleman residing in. the lower part!
of the county caught a thief in the:
act of carrying off a trunk in which j
he had placed $50 i.i cash. The I
thief escaped, but fortunately he
dropped the trunk as he ran. With
three banks in the county it is passing
strange that people will take;
chances of fire and robbery by storing;
money in their houses.

THE CIVIL DOCKET.
i Three Interesting Cases That Were
Tried Last Week.
Three civil causes of interest
were tried before the court of
common pleas, commencing- on
on Thursday and continuing 1
through Saturday.
The first in order was that of
Thomas Wilson vs the Progressive
Milling Co., in which the
plaintiff was represented by
Messrs Willcox & Willcox of
Florence, and the defendant by
Messrs W L Bass and S G W
Shippof the Florence bar. The
jury in this case returned a verdict
for the plaintiff.
Next came the case of R J
Parrott, administrator, vs the A
C L railroad. This was a suit
for damages in the sum of!
?15,000 for the killing of L H
Parrott by the train on the evening
of January 4, 1904. Messrs
LeRoy Lee and W A Holman,
of Charleston, represented the
plaintiff and Messrs Gilland &
Gilland and W H Fitzsimmons,
of Charleston, the defendant,
i This case was stubbornly fought
on both sides and the jury found
a verdict for the defendant.
On Saturday the case of Miss
E D Moore vs the A C L railroad
was beard. This was a damage
> suit for $5,000 based on injuries
received by Miss Moore from
; cutting her hand on a piece of
broken glass in the door of a
passenger coach last June while
on her waj' from her home in
^ -* i - - ii J i.1
boutn ooston. va., toatrenu uie
1 wedding- of her brother, Mr W S
Moore of Lake City. W F Clay
ton, Esq., of Florence appeared
for the plaintiff and the defendant
was represented by Messrs
Gilland & Gilland and W H
Fitzsimmons.
During- the progress of the
trial counsel on both sides were
inspired to put forth their best
efiorts on account of the presence
of a number of ladies, who
were attracted to the court room
! to hear the case. The jury rendered
a verdict of ?400 for the
plaintiff.

In the two latter cases Mr
Louis W Gilland made 1 is

the excellent manner in which
he acquitted himself elicited

j terest. The one on Mr Gladstone
L :and Lord Acton, by Mr GladI
