These lovely roses made the air redoleat with their rich perfume and added * charming grace to the scene that only flowers can Impart.

Hie Work of Clearing the Criminal Docket Begins. The Court of General Sessions con? vened at 10 o'clock Monday with Judge It C. Watts on the bench. As soon as the preliminaries had been gone through with Solicitor McLauch Hn was ready with several bills of In? dictment, which he turned over to the grand Jury, and the wheels of the court were In motion. The grand Jury reported on the fol? lowing bills of Indictment: The State vs. M. H. Boykln, Jr., and W. L. Gregg. Jr., car-breaking and larceny. True bill. The State vs. Antnette Ellerbe, Rose Buford and Edward Young, murder. True bill. The State vs. James Edwards, larcey of a bicycle. True bill. I The State vs. Moses Pierson, Willie Mlchau and James Wilson, grand larceny. True bill. The case of the State vs. M. H. Boy kin and W. L. Oregg, car-breaking and larceny, was the first called for trial. The defendants, who are out on bond, did not answer when called, and at the proper time Solicitor Mc Lauchlln will start proceedings to have their bonds estreated. James Edwards was arraigned and plead guilty to stealing a bicycle. He was sentenced to serve 15 months on the chalngang. When Mose Pierson, Willie Mlchau and James Wilson were arraigned on the charge of grand larceny, to wit, a saddle, Pierson entered a plea of guilty, while the two other defendants plead not guilty "of the stealing." It Is evident that they knew something concerning the saddle. Sentence was suspended on Pierson as he will be used as a witness against the other two. The case against Mack York, for forgery was continued. \ The case of the State vs. Nelson Graham, disposing of property under lien, was nol prossed. The case against Wentworth James, for violation of the dispensary law. was continued. From the Dally Item, Oct. 20. The grand Jury this morning com? pleted Its work for this term, and all bills having been acted upon, the final presentment was made. At the final session of the grand Jury this morning the following members were drawn by lot to serve on the grand Jury for 1909: R. C. Blandlng, J. L. Haynsworth, J. E. Sanders, T. W. Geddings, R. F. Haynsworth and G. H. Hurst. The following bills were passed upon yesterday afternoon: The State vs. J. L. Hodge and L. W. Wilson, assault and battery with Intent to kill. True bill. The State vs. Lee Williams, larceny of bicycle. True bill. The State vs. James Rees, assault and battery. True bill. The following cases have been tried and disposed of: The State vs. Willie Mlchau and James Wilson, receiving stolen goods. Guilty. Mlchau 2 years and Wilson 18 months on the chaingang. The State vs. Willie Mlchau, house breaoking and larceny. Plead guilty. Sentence 18 months on the chain gang. The State vs. Willie Berry, larceny of live stock. Guilty; 2 years and * months on the chalngang. *ws . The State vs. Moses Pierson, grand larceny. Plead guilty. The State vs. Robert E. Heflner. breach of trust, with fraudulent tn-> tent. Nol prosn at request of prose cufon. j \ The grand Jury also returned no bill In the case of the State vs. Olando Brunson, murder. The evidence showed that the killing was accident? al. This case has been on the docket since Ihe fall term of 1906, and has been continued from term to term without ever having been given to the ?(rand Jury for Investigation. In con? sequence of this oversight, or neglect, on the part of some one the county wlA have a heavy bill to pay for the haK dozen or more witnesses who have been In attendance on court for five consecutive terms, without having been called. The case could have been disposed of at the first term by the simple process of giving out the bill of Indictment to the grnnd Jury. Mos.; Pierson, who plead guilty In the chaw of grand larceny yester? day, and then assisted materially In bringing about ths conviction of his accomplices, Willie Michail and James Wilson, made his escape from the constable While being taken from the court house to the Jail and has n >t been re-captured. He made his dash for liberty when slmosl In front >?f thS Jail and was .soon lost to ylcw in the dark recessea of Epperson's nsgro quarter, Mose was handcuffed to an - ther prisoner. 1> it slipped it off and was pom- before the constables knew what was happening. Judge Watts handed down a sealed sentence for him. The e ise of the state vs. Annette El? lerbe and Kose Buford, charged with murder of Peter Buford, the husban i of Rose Buford, was put on trial this morning. The case against Edward Young, the hoy who was named In the Indictment with the women, was nol PTOUd on motion of Solicitor McLauchlln, who wished to use him as n witness, the evidence Indicating that he had nothing to do with the murder, except as a witness and un? willing accesory after the fact. When the hoy was put on the stand Capers Smith, Esq., who defended the wo? men, entered an objection to his testifying on the ground that he had been convicted of crime and had served a term on the Lee county chalngang. Solicitor McLauchlln was prepared for this and promptly pro? duced a pardon for Young, which had been secured from the Governor for the purpose of permitting him to test? ify in this case. Young gave a circumstantial ac? count of the murder, which he said was committed by "Annette Ellerbe, aided and abetted by Rose Buford. The two women, who were the only witnesses for the defense, denied all knowledge of the crime, and'by Im? plication laid it at the door of the boy, Edward Young. The arguments were completed and the case given to the Jury before court adjourned for dinner. The Jury deliberated for about two hours and finally returned a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. _ Presentment Grand Jury?Fall Term, 1908. To His Honor R. C. Watts, Presiding Judge: We. the grand jury of said county, beg leave to submit this, our final presentment for the year 1908. We examined into and returned all bills of indictment given us by the solicitor. We have, at a previous ses? sion of court, reported to the court our Investigations of the various county offices, alms house, Jail, chain .gang and dispensary', and do not deem It necessary at this time to go over the work done at that time. In regard to the new general index needed in the judge of probate's of? fice, we recommend that the matter I be referred to the Bar Association of Sumter, S. C, with a request that that body will kindly recommend to the County Board of Commissioners for this county, a suitable plan for said in? dex, and indicate to the latter body what would be a suitable compensa? tion tor making same, and setting the old records in order. Our foreman, Mr. R. F. Hayns? worth, has checked over the balances of county auditor, treasurer and school commissioner, and find same correct. Respectfully submitted. R. F. Haynsworth, Foreman.

Wright's Machine Wrecked in Collision With a Wagon Standing in the Street. Mr. R. L. Wright, while returning from a fish fry at Pocotallgo Thursday night about 10 o'clock, accompanied by Presiding Elder Duncan, Mr3. Wright and his son, Edward Wright, met with an accident that might have been very serious. He was driving his automobile up Main street at a mod? erate rate of speed, and when oppo? site the stable of the Sumter Transfer Company, turned to one side to let Mr. L?. D. Jennings, who was driving in a buggy, pass, as his horse seemed to be restive. As he turned out of the middle of the street he saw a wagon Just ahead of him, which, ow? ing to the darkness he had not ob? served before, as It was in the shadow. When he saw the wagon it was too late to avoid a collision, and his ma? chine struck the wagon with full force. Mr. Duncan was thrown out and considerably shaken up, but for? tunately not seriously injured. Mrs. Wright escaped injury by standing up and holding to the back of ti n ^at in which Mr. Wright was sitting. The part of the seat occupied by Mr. Dun? can was smashed, as was the entire rear seat. The upper part of the ma? chine Is a complete wreck, and look? ing at the machine it appears incredi? ble that any of the occupants escaped injury. Don't forget the game of football Friday, between the Sumter Highx ; School and the Darlington Graded ' School. A small admission will be charged to defray the expenses of the I visiting team. Special arrangements 1 have been made for the ladies to wit? ness the game from the side lines. School children will be admitted for 15 cents. Adults 25 cents.
