Another homicide was commit ed in
Orangeburg county Tuesday night. Bill
Coleman and Josephine Bennett were COM
mitted to Jail Thursday by Trial Justice w.
L. Ehney, charged with the murder of
Adam Bennett. The commitment was
issued on the verdict of a coroner's jury.
The murdered man was the husband of the
woman charged with.the murder. The de ell
was done in the upper Fork" Both p rites
are extremely ret!celt. All Josephine viii
say is that she and her husband were sitting
by the fire at IL o'clock at night, she being
half asleep, when suddenly the door was
thrown open, a man rushed in and knocked
her husbands brains out with an AK; that
immediately she tainted and recollects
nothing more.
AT Edgefield, Jones, the triple murderer,
since the mistsial in the case against him
for the killing of old man Presley, hes teen
recommitied to Jail. IL was expected that
his counsel would make motion for bail,
but as yet this mas not been done. and it re-
mains to be seen what action will be taken
III the matter. Some months ago Judge

dictmeHts have been handed ont and true
bills found. 1t is conte1ded by the prison
ers counsel that the effect of Judge Nor
tons order is to absolutely discharge him in
these two cases. The solicitor, on the other
hand, holds a contrary view Argument in
the matter was heard THURSDAY. Judge
Fraser has reserved bis decision.

The governor has requested Col. Knox
Livingston of Marlboro, of the Pee. Dee
section, to receive on behalf Of South
Carolina the diploma which will be pr
sented to her by the managers of the Augusta
ever made" The occasion is one upon
which Col Livingston's oratorical abilities
wll find full play. The governor has also
asked Senator Butler to respond on that
day in behalf of the visitors from South
Carolina to the address of welcome to be
extended by Henry W. Grady for the
Georgians and Augustans especially, to the
representatives and citizens of South
Carolina who will Re present. Carolina
day will be Nov. 20, Thanksgiving Day,
and as both the South Carolina and GeOr-
gia legislators will have holiday then,
and have been specially invited to attend,
it is reasonable 10 suppose that there will
be fully representative interstate gath r.
ing at the exposition. The RACES on Z r j.

exposition seaso1, one purse alone eing
for 3 900. The railroads are expected to
make unusually low ates. As he will
be 'off duty" that day, Gover.or Rich
ardson will probably attend.
