Five Room Hous ?On Academ; tlm t > r lit cheap. See 0 H. Rivers. ti K .' i n Wests Found Guilty; Arants Acquitted Tr.e great Pagcland riot and % murder trial is now a thing of . the past. A jury of twelve g>od i. citizens have spoken, and it is i- to be hoped that the affair thus . closed will remain so. t After five days consumed in the examination of witnesses - and in the three-cornered debate e of legal counsel, the case went s to the jury Friday afternoon at . 5 o'clock. A verdict was returns three hours later exonerating the . Arants of all blame for the riot and bloodshed and finding J. E. ? We6t, Baxter West, Arthur . West, Sheppard West and Luther West guilty of riot. i The Wes>8 were sentenced to 1 pay a fine of $150.00 each or to ? serve one year on the chaingang. Small Gases Disposed Of f After the closing of the Arant \ case at the recent term of court several small cases were expedi, tiously settled. In the case of the State vs J. W. Boan, illegally disposing of property, Boan was fined $100. i J. I'aul Jones, accused of assault with intent to kill; ca*e was postponed. Oeorge Maugum. charged with violating the dispensaiy law, was ' fined $100. Half of the fine was remitted on probation. A $50 fine hangs over Mango m as an inducement to good behavior. Harvey Turnage, accused of illegally disposing of property. This case was compromised. Charles Campbell Sentenced , One of the last acts of the i Criminal Court at the recent session was t he sentencing of Charles Campbell, colored, to the chaingang for life for the killing of Lester Hancock, white, on the night of the 23d of last October. I nil.:- ? i i ? una Killing, iv win ne remembered, was peculiarly sordid. The fight arose, apparently, over a discus1 ion of who should pay for wine that had been drunk by a group of white men and negroes. Charles Campbell was allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter and Louis Campbell, who was implicated, was freed. [Moonshiners Captured A still was raided in the Black Creek district near Middendorf last week and three captives haled to court by Kural I'olicem&n K. C. Moore. They were, Mr. Britt and 6on and a Mr.V KingThe elder Brirt, a preacher by profession, and King were released on bond to appear at the next term of court. Young Britt, unable to furnish bond, wae allowed to plead guilty aud was sent to the chaingAiig on an indeterminate sentence. Citation. The State of South Carolina, County of Chesterfield. Ky M.

Johnson as a candi* y date for County Supervisor sul ject to the action of the Dem> cratic primary. James T. Grant Tho l'ageland war last March developed a real hero in the person of Rural Policeman James T. Grant. Mr. Grant had been detailed to Pageland only a few days be fore tho riot and was unknown to nearly all participants in the shooting affray and, therefore, when he, as a peace officer, undertook to quell the riot, he was at a disadvantage in that it was not generally known that he was an officer. Jim Grant, however, from the * first disturbance made every at- " tempt to prevent the riot. | During the melee of shots? while half & dozen men were emptying deadly weapons at each other?Jim Grant was the one man not engaged as a participant in the riot who did not run. Testimony at the trial showed that Mr. Grant had arrested and disarmed Wesley Arant, and, sti 11 holding him by the arm, had turned to Sheppard West, who was doing deadly work with a rifle. He had no more than called to West, "Don't shoot," than the shot was fired that killed Arant, who fell into the officer's arms. Grant then cross- ed the street, secured the riflj and arrested its owner, then proceeded to disarm the other par- ^ ticipants. Ilow Grant escaped all injury is remarkable. During the course of the trial it was a notable fact thar not a lawyer could mention the testimony of this man without taking time to pay his respects to Mr. Grant for his valor and devotion to duty.

It is understood that Mayor Welsh will 6] not offer for re-election. All w citizens of the town are required ; y\ to register before they are eli- : tr gible to rote. A new registra- h, ration certificate is required w each year. The books of regis- C( tration are now open in the fc Clerk of Court's oflice in charge of Deputy Clerk F. M. Cannon. The race for County Super- ( re visor this year will be a warm tv one if present indications come in true. It is understood that the th the present Supervisor II Frank King will offer for reelection. 01 One candidate, Mr. N. M. John* m son, of Middendorf, has already announced he will oppose Mr. e\ King. It-is rumored that form- v< er Supervisor, E II. Knight, of Angelus, will again make the ^ race for this ollice; it is also ? rumored that F. W. Hi vers, the road commissioner for Court House township, will offer for C this position. The office of Sup- 11 ervisor is one of most important in the County. The average person thinks he has only to do L with roads, whereas he is in re- C alit> in charge of the county's finances except the school funds ^ The salary is one hundred a jj month and the law requires 0 whoever is elected to gi ve all L his time to t,he duties of his office. It is also said that Mr. ^ Gus Sherrill, road commission g er for Cheraw township, will make this race. C 1 In State politics there will be i the the usual warm time this summer.

I 8 r For Congress, the present in- ( cumbent, Hon. D. E. Finlev, j s" who has represented the Fifth , d District for many years will jt again be opposed by Hon, VV. K. Stevenson of Cheraw. Mr. Stevenson ran Mr. Finley an >f exceedingly close race last year, ?. one too close to be comfortable, the only time Mr. Finley was ?o ever elected except by a good majority during recent years.

With 500 men he attacked Coumbus, New Mexico, killed at. east 10 Americans and fired nauy buildings before he was Iriven back across the interna ional border.
