Gunnells Case Continued.

Very few people were surprised Thurs
day morning, the day set for the trial OF
Dan. 4. Gunnells, charged with the muir
der on December 23d last, of Willie T.
Grimes, at Govan, of which little town
the prisoner was at that time marshal
when, on motion of Col. Robert Aldrich
the court granted a continuance in the
case, and Gunnells went back to Jail
there to remain until next July.
The motion was made on an affidavit
prepared by H. Spann Bowling, Esq, In
which the allegation was made that Mag
istrate L. L. Lancaster had failed to prop
erly summons and bind over important
witnesses for the defense, in consequence
of which one was now beyond the juris-
diction of the court, and it would be i'm
possible to bring him here before the July
term of court. Before passing on the
motion Judge Gage had the recalcitrant
magistrate brought before him. Mr.. Lam
caster admitted the truth of the charges
but said he had acted as he did in ignor-
ance of the law. Solicitor Townsend
fought hard to have the case brought up
this or next week, but the judge decided
that he would not permit the civil busi-
ness of the court to be broken in upon
where the failure to have criminal case
ready for trial.at the appointed time was
manifestly the fault of the State.

Gen. Bamberg Keeps Land.

The case of Eugenia NJ Rice against
General Frank NJ Bamberg, for the recov-
cry of 1873 acres of land, to which she
claims title through her ancestor, John
C MILESTONE, who owned and cultivated
the land in dispute for more than twenty
wears, devising it by will to her at his
death, was tried Tuesday.
The defendant made general denial OF
plaintiffs title, pleaded the statute of
limitation, and claimed that he had pur-
chased the land 'for value and without
notice." In his general denial Gen BAN
berg alleges that another clause of Mr
Whetstone's will which empowered the
deyisee's executors to sell portion of the
land to pay his debts, was complied with,
that the sale was made, and that the court
of equity gave title thereto.
At the time of this sale Eugenla NJ
Rice was three years and eight months OF
age, and her counsel contended that she
was not legally made party to the suit
To support this allegation they produced
the record of tire court of equity
The jury was charged by Judge Gage
early Wednesday morning, and, after be-
ing out short while, returned verdict in
favcr of the defendant. An appeal will be
made in case motion made for new trial
by the plaintiffs attorneys isrefused.

Elliott GraySon Gets Life Sentence.

Elliott Grayson, who was put on trla
Wednesday morning for the murder OF
David Adams, was convicted, but the jury
recommended him to mercy and the judge
gave him life sentence in the penltentl
ary.
The testimony was nearly identical
with that taken before the coroner's jury
and already published in THE BANBERG
HERALD. J. L. Bishop was the foreman
of the jury. The interests of the prison
er were looked after by j. Finckncy Ma
theny, Esq, who had been assigned to
that duty by the court. The Solicitor was
assisted in the prosecution by Herman l..
Spahr, Esq.
The aggregate testimony went to show
that Grayson was trespasser in Adams S
shop that fatal night, and, that after being
elected by the proprietor, he returned
with a knife in his hand, and stabbed
Adams to death.
Guard J. p. Davis, of the penitentlary
force came down Monday morning and
took Grayson to his future life home on
the evening train.

Negro Gamblers Run In.

Chief of Police Gray has for some time
had his eyes ON coterie of negro gam
blers, who have been in the habit of as
sembling nightly in the house of negro
woman in the rear of the Cope hotel and
Saturday night he determined to raid the
dea. Summoning to his assistance Messrs
w. w. Lightsey, Jno. F. Brickle and Lee
Risher, at about ten o'clock, when a
''skin" game was in full progress, the
chief and his posse surrounded the house,
when he knocked upon the door for ad-
mission. Instantly the gamblers became
panic stricken and made wild break for
liberty. Two only of the gang were cap
tured, but subsequently three others were
arrested.
Mayor Inglis imposed the following
sentences: Ed. Kirkland, $40 or twenty
days; Henry Walker, $3.50 or fifteen
days; Solomon Allen, S. or ten days
jim Slater, S. or ten days; Preston
Brown, $40 or twenty days. Walker took
the days, but the four others paid up.
Chief Gray deserves great credit fol
breaking up this gang, which is notorl
Gus one, and has for months engaged in
games similar to the one in progress Sat
urday night, crap shooting, poker, etc.

For the Fitting School.

Several gentlemen, who have an abid-
ing interest in the Carlisle Fitting School,
will shortly call upon our citizens for the
purpose of providing entertainment for
the parents and friends OF the students
of this institution during the commence.
ment in June. This is good idea, and
one which will result in material ben
eft to the school if properly carried out;
Free entertainment for parents and
friends of the students will, no doubt, re-
suit in beneficial advertising, as it would
certainly iHstuce many to come and in
spect the institution who otherwise
would stay away. This, of course, means
more students next year. and every pub
lic-spiri.ed citizen will promptly respond
when they are visited by the committee.

and recreation.
Mr. Sanders was at the head of San
lcrs. Swami & Co.. one of the prominent
cotton firms in the United States. He
has been in the cotton business since the
close of the civil war. and was consider
ed one of the foremost men in the bust

age He came to Atlanta in 1858 from
South Carolina. He was born in Barn

of New York. His headquarters were at
Augusta. He changed his headquarters

Trim of the Veterans to Louisville.

The prospect is that large attendance
from South Carolina will be ut Louisville
The idea of General G Walker, com
mander of the South Carolina division OF
UCV, in concentrating the veterans at
Spartanburg is a very good one. This
will give the "old vets" an opportunity
to exchange greetings and will insure the
same arrival time at Louisville of all the
delegates from this State. The mountain
route, through the land of the sky"
down the French Broad river, via Knox
vile, Hartman Junction, Lexington and
into Louisville, is very delightful during
the spring and summer months, and is
preferable to the long and dusty routes.
There are also two daily trains in each
direction via this route between South
Carolina points and Louisville, insuring
no crowded trains; and the trip will be
entirely comfortable returning home.
This is quite IN important item to those
who attend.

Not a Nuisance.

The Jury in the Howell's Mill nuisance
case, acquitted Mr.. Joseph H. Smith, its
proprietor, last Friday, after a long list
of witnesses for the State had been cXam-
incd.
There seemed to be some doubt III the
minds of some of the witnesses as to
whether the draining of the pond would
abate or aggravatc the alleged nuisance,
and, under the charge of the Judge, the
iury could not do otherwise than 1lnd as
it did
