Gus DAVIS, a worthy colofed man.
who lives Il Mr.. Richmond Peeler's
place. IN Eagle Bend. came to the city
to attend court yesterday, and rode a
horse which he bought. three years
since, from another colored nan by
the nam of Archie Moore, who owns
a place adjoining Mr.. Peeler. Davis
hitched his horse in front Of Frank
Piazza's store. MIR. Piazza bantered
him for a trade, offering him a fine
mule for the horse. While talking the
matter over, Mr.. Piazza recognised
the horse as one belonging to
him and which was stolen
from Miss Sallie Miller's pasture some
three years since, or about the time
that Davis bought him from Moore
paying 800 for him. A thorough in
vesiigation proved it TO be Mr.. Plazza's
horse and he took possession of it,
leaving Davis afoot, but determined to
get satisfaction out of Moore.

M. W. johnson, late magistrate from
this precinc', who killed Jas. Walker
sometime last Fall, was arrested here
on Thursday last, on three separate
charges, one for robbery, one for re-
ceiving money under false pretenses,
and one for wilful and malicious arrest.
On the first two charges he was bound
over to the Circuit Court, 5000 being
che amount required, and on the lest
he was fined $40 and costs. 1t seems
that while johnson was magistrate
here he tried one Geo. Edwards, on a
charge of assault and. battery, and fined
him $40 and costs and he not being able
to pay said Gne stood committed to the
county Jail. En- route to Jail he gave
the constable the slip. Whilst john
son was in Jail for the murder OF
Walker, Edwards. surrendered himself
to Pleas Crosby, Johnson'5 successor,
paid a portion of his fine, ard got time
to pay the balance, also getting a re-
ceipt from Crosby for his fine and
costs. johnson, whilst serving a sub
penas for theipresent Grand Jury met
Edwards in Binders store, and de-
manded his arrest as an escaped pris-
oner, Edwards produced Croshy's re-
ceipt, but that had no effect whatever
on johnson, who said he had not re-
ceived the money, and that he was
going to take him to Jail. Your cor
respondent advised johnson that he
was wrong. but johnson had the law
down pat, and knew what he was
doing. johnson started from the store
Of T. j. Butler, on Eagle Lake, with
his prisoner, to bring him to H'lpinor
where he expected to catch a boat.
and whilst going through The
woods, between the two places, Ed
wards claims that Johnson demanded
what leash money he had and
forced him to sign a note, de
claring that he was indebted tc
johnson in the sum Of $l0.
which he did, he fearing if he refused
that he would meet the same fate as
Walker did, Whereupon CuEn'
ed him loose. AS soou as he was free
Edwards went before Crosby and swort
to the above facts, thereby causing
Johnson's arrest, with the following
result: johnson net being able to pay
his fine was committed TO jail, Crosby
turning him over 70 J. Z. Wadford tt
bring him to Jail. Wadford got hi
prisoner as far as Halpino, where they
were to take passage for town, anc
whilst they were waiting for the boat
johnson gave Wadford leg bail ant

and three cents per pound by the sack,
with every indication of still going higher.

cents, aud by the tub for thirty. Only

and the article finds ready sale at 50 %
per cwt. Considerable baled hay. Ne
