Anson supeslor Court.

/ We happened along last week at Wadesboro, An
county, and found matters of interest going
on. a few of.which we note.
The Superior Court of Arson county, is in session
this week, haring commenced last. capital case.
that of Boyd the murder of Pickett, was to have
come on at tbs Court; but The trial was moved to
Richmond COUNTY, on affidavit by the prosecution, to
the effect that the State could not get fair trial in
Arson county. Mr.. Boyd is very quiet citizen, a
native of Montgomery county, and had been doing
business about four years in Wadesboro'. Col Mar
tin Pickett was a native of Arson county, and allied
to most of the leading families there consequently
the affair attracts much attention, and net little
feeling in that section. A quarrel had existed for
some time year between the parties which re-
suited in Mr. Boyd's shooting Col. Pickett, on Sun
day, the 22d of August Mr.. Pickett died on the
succeeding Tuesday. Public opinion very strong
in favor of the prisoner is evnced by the remov-
al of the cause at the instance of the State.
By the way, we came near being witness Of We
ry queer attempt at homicide. An old man named
Willis Jarman, aged near eighty years, took rusty
tobacco knife out of his pocket and stuck it twice
into the body of another old of nearly seventy
named Skies He smote him under the fifth Rib, but
the knife glanced upwards, and did not strike any
| vital part. They took up the old thai did it
who, as well as the other, was far from sober:

We were amused by gentleman of the Bar, who's

1t is commended by the supporters of Gen. Scott
that the Democratic triumph at the August cleo
tons in North Carolina, cannot be taken'as any
tain indication of how the State going to vote for
President in November. They ground their reason
ings upon the fact that although Gov. Reid c.Re
very near an election in August 1913, yet the State
went against Gen. Cass in November by very large
majority. 49,. -, s7,'
There would be some piausibility in this reasUn-
ing, if the cases were at all similar but the facts
are, that while in 1913 the grand difficulty was to
keep even the Democrats from voting for " Old ZaGh
it is now doubtful whether the Wings themselves
will vote for Scott; all of them vii not hatscer-
tain. Some oppose him openly1some privately =
and still larger number are perfectly apathetle ~
