SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

White Man Convicted of Murder.
After hours and 40 minutes con-
sideration, says a Greenville special Of
Saturday to The News and Courier,
the jury in the case of Jim Williams,
indicted for killing Charlie Potts,
brought in verdict of murder with
out recommendation to mercy. Will
liams heard the verdict without chang
ing feature, showing the cool nerve
characteristic of the man. The ver-
dict was something of surprise as it
has come to pass that no one believes
that a white man can be convicted of
a capital offeuse.
Horrible Crime In Greenville.
Greenville correspondence News and
Courier, Saturday The blackest crime
in the history of South Carolina was
committed last night. Weaver Smith,
a white boy 8 years old, was murdered
within so yards of Main street, in the
residence part Of the city. At 4O'clock
this afternoon his body was found in
some weeds on Elford street, which
connects Main and ToWnes streets.
The body was in full view of Main
street, but was not observed until this
afternoon, when discovered by a Negro
woman. On examination it was dis.
covered that he had been strangled and
his stomach ripped open with knife,
severing the entrails. The mutilation
was horrible. On further examination
it was ascertained that foul crime
had been committed on the body before
death, which probably induced the
killing. At o'clock yesterday after
noon the boy was given a supper by
Mr.. Riser, sexton Of Springwood GENE
terry. Later he was seen at the north
side camp. He was known to every
housekeeper in Greenville, as he was
professional beggar. He was harm
less child, but considered nuisance as
a persistent beggar. The news of his
murder quickly spread through the
city, and the feeling of indignation Is
intense. Police are using every means
to trace the movements of the boy. 1t
is said that he was last seen at the
