Again we beg to remind our
friends that all notices relating to
money-making enterprises, for
church, school or any other cause,
are charged for as advertising at
one cent a word. All cards of
thanks,'for any purpose whatsoever,
are charged for at the rate of one
cent a word. It would save us a
good deal of trouble and embarrassment
if you would just count the j
words and send the money along with j
your "copy," as it hardly pays us to ,
keep books on these little items. Yet
in the aggregate they mean a considerable
loss to the paper if not'
collected,and they are so easily overlooked.

CRIMINAL COURT CONCLUDED.
W. J. Cockfleld Acquitted of
Charge of Murder.
As the paper went to press last
Thursday the case of the State vs W
J Cockfield, murder,and J H V Gaskins,
accessory after the fact, was
being tried. On the testimony adduced
the Solicitor consented to a
verdict of not guilty as to Gaskins,
there being insufficient evidence
against him to press the
charge.-'
The case against Cockfield was
contested vigorously on both sides.
?. " j? i?:u:??
dOHCltor oou maue a uniuauk. cuuu
for O" ion, while Messrs Lee &
Fishl ind H G Askins handled
the de ? with masterly skill.
Thuiw^y afternoon the case went
to the jury and after a short period
Qf deliberation, a verdict of not
guilty was rendered.
The crime with which Cockfield
was charged occurred in Lake City
December 4. 1910, and our readers
are familiar with the circumstances
of the killing. A carnival company
which had been exhibiting there was
packing up to leave when some time
after mid-night one of the employees
of the show,a negro boy named
Henry Alphonso, was shot dead. The
crime was deliberate and unprovoked,
arousing great indignation
among the better element of the
town people. The main ground of
defense was an alibi, which means,in
effect, that the accused man was elsewhere
when the crime was committed.

any of the evidence we are not competent
to pass on the justice of the
verdict, but the jury evidently believed
that the State failed to make
out its case. At any rate, the murder
of Henry Alphonso, the friendless
negro, will probably be- numbered
with the large, list of crimes
unavenged to.be dealt with at the
final day of reckoning, when all
secrets in the heart of man shall be
laid bare.
The last case tried was the State
vs J P Wheeler, storing alcoholic
liquors. The jury failed to agree
and a mistrial was ordered.
In the above case Joe Brown, a
witness called by the State, changed
his testimony from that he had given
at the preliminary hearing as to so
nearly "knock the props" from under
the Solicitor that the latter ask- j
ed the court that Joe be held for
perjury until he could procure a
warrant for him. This request was
granted and Joe was turned over to
the Sheriff and is now under warrant
to answer for perjury.
