appointed Internal Revenue Collector for this
State, has obtained his bond in the sum of
$4,000, which has been carried by himself

his bonds if necessary, to any sum that may

In the Court of General Sessions for
Charleston county-Judge Reed presiding
David Pearce and George Stevens, colored,
convicted of the murder of J. Evans Edings,
Jr., we're sentenced to be hanged on Friday
the 18th of next month. The murder of
Edings was deed of peculiar atrocity. He
was waylaid and shot from an ambush last
winter for the purpose of robbery. The crime,
though committed in a lonely place, was
traced with unerring accuracy to the accused,
who could not deny their guilt, and after a
fair and impartial trial will pay the highest
penalty known to the law.

used. The democrats appear to be sanguine
of success.
