HUGH LONG FOUND
"NOT GUILTY."
V
JURY SO DECIDES WITHOUT
LEAVING BOX OR HEARING ARGUMENTS
BY ATTORNEYS.
A precedent was established in
Aiken county court history on
Thursday last when the jury in the
Long murder case decided that they
had about enough of the testimony
and were ready to acquit Legislator
Long without henring any more evidence
or any of counsel's arguments
in the case; that they had already
reached their decision and would
f have returned a "not guilty" ver\
diet the afternoon before.
The defence has just rested its
case and the prosecution was ready
to place on the stand witnesses in
rebuttal, but it was near the dinner
hour and the court announced a recess,
whereupon the foreman of the
* jury, Jas R League, of North Au#
frusta, leaped to his feet, but when
J he started to make his statement the
| Court stopped him with the announ
cement that the State must be ffiven
its opportunity to present witnesses
in rebuttal to the testimony offered
by the defence.
When the State's testimony was
completed after dinner, the foreman
then informed the court that the
jury had already determined upon
the merits of the case,>and that arguments
by counsel were useless.
This stopped a promised flow of oratory.
So Judge Ernest Gary of
Columbia, presiding, delivered his
charge and permitted the jury to
enter an ante-room and draw in
regular form the acquittal of Long.
They were out about ninety seconds,
when the Clerk of Court,in sonorons

Observance of Children's Day?
Local and Personal.
Benson, June 10:?Saturday, June
7, will be remembered as another .
day to be marked with a white stone ,
in the calendar of our community. ^
This was Children's day at Cedar (
Swamp. And not by any means by ^
children alone will this particular
occasion linger long and pleasantly
in memory's archives. A host of *
grown-up folk came to mingle to- 1
gether in an informal way, seeming- 1
ly oblivious of business care and '
" l
worry of any kind. Misses Ulmer 1
Crooks, Ervin McCullough and Mrs *
G Ollie Epps had the children drill- c
ed in the exercises for the day. *
These ladies deserve the hearty 1
- - ' - m T
praise of the entire community for *
their indefatigable efforts in the arduous
task of training the children, J
besides the arrangement of the en- t
tire programme, which was carried ?
out to the very letter.
The little folk formed in line outside
the church, marched to the e
rythmic strains of soft music down 8
the aisles and took their assigned 1
seats at the cessation of the music e
with the steadiness and precision *
of trained soldiers. *
The girls were dressed in white
with a beautiful bow of ribbon neatly
arranged in the soft tresses of
their hair, of which they are justly
proud.
Following are those who enacted
the programme: Florence Rembert,
Everette McCullough, Mary Rembert,
Laurie Brown, Addie Burrows,
Hasell Epps, Tommie McCrea, Frances
Burrows, Dan Brown, Edith McCullough,
Fowler McCutchen, Osena ^

Outside Messrs J W McNeil and

We have had opportunity on sev- <
ral occasions to mention the edibles

adies of this section have the envi- i

fastidious; hence we refrain from ;

;hose who shared the feast enjoyed
t, for they lingered Jong and busily
it the large table, which was ar anged
underneath a cluster of statey
oaks, garlanded with streaming
iioss, their limbs interlocking,formng
a perfect shade from the sumner
sun. ,
As it has been the custom heretofore,
the boys entertained the crowd
n the afternoon by playing baseball.

Sunday night this section was visited
with a heavy rainfall. Monday
a very cold rain fell all day and it is
still raining today (Tuesday) with
wind coming from the north. This
weather will prove a set-back to the
already small cotton, and will put
the farmer at least one week behind'
with his work.

Since the heavy rains the tobacco
is in a very green and growing state
and I being a warehouseman and
being fully in touch with the tobacco
situation, and knowing the strong
demand for ripe and colory tobacco,
I feel that it is my duty to caution
every farmer to let his tobacco get
ripe before gathering, as one barn
of ripe tobacco will bring more than
several barns partially green.
The above is of much importance
to the farmers and will save them
thousands of dollars. Ripe tobacco
is what the buyers want and you
