JURY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
RETURNED VERDICT AGAINST
DEFENDANTS.

The whitecappers case, which has been
on trial in the United States court for
several days resulted IN a verdict for
plaintiffs Wednesday afternoon. B. W.
Evans and Emma White brought suit
against A N. Afford, e. Berry Benson,
Peak, Mathewson and other prominent
citizens of Hart county, alleging that on
the 22d of October last year. the defend
ants and a number of others organized
themselves into a mob, visited the house
of the plaintiffs. and beat Emma White
with buggy whips in most cruel man
ner, assaulted and beat Evans also, and
invaded his house and destroyed several
barrels of wine.
Shortly after the assault. which occur
red in Hart county, the plaintiffs moved
to South Carolina. The defendants filed
an answer, in which they set up that
the plaintiffs did not move to South Car
DINA in good faith, but that their sole
purpose in moving was to give the federal
court jurisdiction of the cases. and that
they intended to return to Georgia as
soon as the case was over. The trial for
the past three days has been upon this
question, and much evidence was intro
duced by both sides. The feeling In the
controversy has been bitter. Hart county
has been stirred up over the contention
of the parties. ...-
The case was argued Thursday by Mr..
A. G. McCurry and Judge r. T. Dorsey
for the defendants. and by Mr.. r. R.
Arnold for the plaintiffs. Inc defendants
counsel were A. G. & Julian McCurry, ].
H. Shelton and Dorsey, Brewster & How

A. McCurry and Arnold g. Arnold.
The jury after few minutes delioera-

defendants plea, and in favor of the
plaintiffs. The case will come up for
trial upon it's merits in the first week In
January next.
over fifty citizens of Hart county have
remained In attendance upon the case

ENGLAND BELIEVES
WAR NEARS AN END
CORRESPONDENT FROM PRETo.
RIA SAYS INDICATIONS ARE
GOOD FOR REDcoATs.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2o.-The correspond
ent OF The London Times and New York
Times at Pretoria says the progress OF the
war Is imminently satisfactory, but care
should be taken not to imagine that more
has been done than Is actually the case,
IN order to avoid subsequent disappoint-
ments. II Is hoped that before long the
cleared area in the Western Transvaal
viii reach as far east as Mabalstand, but
there is concentration OF Beers under
Conmandant Kemp between Rustenberg
and Zeerust.
Commandant Lebenberg Is probably
with Comandant De LaRey, who has 400
men forty miles northwest Of Klerksdorp
O23 miles southwest OF Prstoria). and an
other go near Wolmaranstad. In spite
OF the line OF blockhouses and constabu-
larry posts In the Eastern Transvaal, IL
is still possible for Beers to pass west.
On December Is. $50 Beers passed over the
Wilge river. but they are being closely
pursued and will probably either be cap
tured OF driven out. Block houses do not
keep the enemy out unless built 600 yards
apart. with barbed wire entanglements
between.
The correspondent accounts for. about
500 Beers in the Orange River Colony, be-
sides Dewet's concentration, which is d.
vided into two groups. comprising four
commanders.

IN ANGUISH WHILE HE PLAYED
Sad Story of an Actor While Playing
Here.

While an Americas audience ap-
plauded the fine work of Dean Ray
mond, the leading man in the "WhY
Smith Left Home" company here two
nights ago, they little imagined that a
breaking heart was behind his bright
smiles and that his CHEEKY voice more
than once wellnigh quaiIed in anguish.
Just before going upon the stage he
was handed telegram announcing
the death at their home in Buffalo of
his only sister, beautiful girl who
was to be married very shortly. But
the play must go on, aud with break
ing heart he went forth to entertain
the audience who knew nothing Of his
great grief. Another member of the
same company also received here a
telegram from home announcing that
his wife was critically i'll with pneu-
monia and might die. Bravery and
fortitude is oftimes found upon the
stage as we'll as upon the battlefield.
