Among the suits filed a day or two ago
or the forthcoming session Of Sumter
superior court is one asking damages IN
the city barracks Some time since, as
alleged, John Hawkes., cOlOred barten-
der was locked up by the police for some
breach Of the peace. The petition sets
forth the fact that bail was rendered and
refused and that he was placed In com
mon cell in the common prison, where
fore he is damaged 10 the sum Of 5000
as aforesaid.
A sensation was caused in the superior
court az Macon, "Wednesday morning,
when Judge Hardeman sent for the grand
Jury 10 charge them especially about the
court OF Justice W ". Baughu. In his
special charge Judge Hardeman stated
that certain facts had been brought out
In the trial OF case the day before,
which showed plainly that costs were
being collected b. Justice Baughn and
not entered on the records OF the court.
The law governing such matters was
fully explained TO the Jury. and they
were asked 10 see that the law was en-
forced.
The protest Of the exposition exhibitors
at Atlanta against a reduction of the
charge Of admission afuer $50 o o'clock will
probably result in the restoration Of the
old rate. On the first Of the month the
directors decided that they would reduce
the admission charge from 81 10 25 cents
after dark every evening. This brought
forth protest from the exhibitors who
claimed that people would visit the
grounds during the evenings and not go
there during the day This protest was
considered Wednesday and the whole mat
ter was referred 10 President Collier, with
power 20 act.
Ticket Agent Lewis Harris al the union
depot at Macon has figured up the num-
Der Of tickets sold at Macon for Atlanta
over the Central for the month of Octo-
Der, and finds the number to be 300 by
actuaI count. 1nls ls ftnaThanle snow
ing and tells stronger than -9rds that
Macon is patronizing the e" zion lib
orally. If the same numb o. tickets
were sold over the Southern Viii show
that 700 Macon people attended the ex-
position last month. As large as the
above figures appear, they seem compar-
atively small when II is considered that
the Atlanta division between Macon and
Atlanta carried even 1880 passengers into
Atlanta during the month Of October.
A verdict for $1,000 in favor OF J. II.
Bouknight of Johnston, 5. C., against the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta rail-
road has been affirmed. During the eX-
position at Augusta IN 1891. MIR. BOu-
knight, who is president OF the bank of
Johnston and one of the most promi-
rent men in Edgefeld county, went to
Augusta to see the sights. He was re-
turning home in the afternoon when his
foot was caught and mangled so badly
that amputation was necessary. Mr.. Bou-
knight had boarded the Charlotte, Co
lumbia and Augusta train at the union
station, but owing 10 the fact that the
crowd was so great he was unable 10
get a seat and was standing on the rear
platform The train backed unexpectedly
into two coaches which were to be added
10 the train to accommodate the crowd
and as the bumpers came together Mr.
Bouknight's foot was caught between
them, MASKING 1t to a pulp.
In all human probability a great civil
suit will grow out Of the Butt failure al
Augusta. Five or six different concerns
are interested and all of them have en-
ployed lawyers. In the compress Mr.
Butt had 1000 bales of cotton. The Ma
tiOnal Bank holds the compress receipts
and on a portion of them the South Car
DINA and Georgia railway had already
issued bills Of lading. For the possession
of this cotton is where the fight will
center, and, provided no amicable arrange.
