A Noble Cause.

A very important meeting, oI
Camp Presley. U. g. v, was
held in the court house last Mon.
day. 1t was decided to try ia
rai,e enough money to erect a
suitable monument: 10 the mem.
ory of the Confederate soldiers OF
Williamsburg county. The fol.
lowing comrades were elected of.
ficers of the monument associa.
tion: DIR. s D M Byrd, president;
Mr. S J Snowden, vice president;
Mr. j A Kelley secretary; Mr.. VIM
Kinder, treasurer. A resolution
was passed requesting the ladies
10 firm a monument association,
and try to raise funds for the
erection of a monument.
We heartily endorse the action
of the Camp, and trust that the
monument will be erected before
many months shall have passed
into history.

The rngular fall term of courI
for williamsburg county convened
last Monday. Judge Witherspoor
Solicitor Wilson and stenOgrapheI
Parrot were all IN their respec
tive places. Some time was con
sumed in going through the usuaI
routine of business prior to get
Tag down to real work. One ol
two of the jurymen were excused
on account of sickness. Nine
prisoners, all colored, we're in the
court house awaiting their respec'
tive trials, but one would never
have supposed they anticipated
conviction Judging by the expires
sions of countenance.
The following true bills were
found: James Stoney, cowstealing;
Mcdowell Cole, assault and bat
terry with intent to kill; John Nd
Donnahoe. assault and battery

The first case tried was that
against James Stoney, charged
with cowsteallng. 1t will be re.
membered that Stoney brought a
cow here several months ago and
tried 10 sell it. His story about
bringing the animal from Sumter
did not seem plausible to The off.

Cades, came TO town looking for
COW that had been stolen from
him the day bofore. After hear
ing the evidence the jury was moi
long in reaching a verdict of gull
ty The judge sentenced Stoney
to is months at hard labor, saying
to him that If he had not lied on
the stand the sentence would have
been only one year. the extra six
months being added on account
of Stoney's false testimony.
The case against John NJ Don
ahoe, white, charged with assault
and battery of a high and aggra-
waited nature. was called fer trial.
Donnahoe cut one Sharper Nc
Crakin, an old colored man, on
