ADDERTON TRIAL
NEXT WEDNESDAY.
This Date Is Agreed Upon For Trial
of Case.
STILL IN CUSTODY
Court Declined to Hear Bail Motion
While Session Progresses and Mr.,
AddertoE Will Be Made Comfort
able In County Jail.

The trial of Query Adderton under
an indictment returned by the grand
jury for the killing of Charles D. Mize
in this city month or six weeks ago
will take place on Wednesday next,
18th. Counsel for Mr.. Adderton,
Judge J, A. Hixon, wished to enter
upon the case this morning, but it
could not be done. Judge .Hixon then
asked permission to make argument
for bail for his client, but Judge Lit
tlejohn declined to grant this mas
much IS the court of final trial was in
session, and particularly as Il would
require as much time to hear this tes-
kfimony in motion for bail as to hear
that in the trial of the case. In the
meantime Mr.. Adderton occupies a
room upon the second floor of the Jail
where he will be made as comfortable
as circumstances will permit. He is
anxious for an early trial of the case,
as are his friends, and had bond been
assessed until the date of trial next
week it could quickly have been made.
The trial on Wednesday next will be
attended with considerable interest.

PASSAGE OF POLICE MEASURE
Rather Doubtful at this Stage o.
! Session.

Mayor Fielder returned yesterday
from Atlanta, where he has been for
several days in the interest of a local
measure before the Legislature-the
bill to amend charter relative to the
manner of electlng members of the po-
lice commission. The bill has been
reported favorably, and but for the
fearful rush of other bills preceding it
at this close of the session would pass
without any difficulty whatever, de-
spite the fight made upon it by Repre-
sentative Lane. The measure is a
good one and, it is said, more than
enough votes to insure it's passage in
the house have been secured if ir
could but be brought to q vote. The
Legislature will adjourn today. and in
the rush of business at the wlndup of
the session the Americus bill may be
lost for the time.

Pretty Story of Love and Intrigue
Well Told.

The audience that Witnessed last
night the presentation of "Human
Hearts" story of life IN Arkansas,
was thoroughly pleased. It was a
good play presented by a good com.
pany. It deals with the life of Tom
Logan, blacksmith, honest and well
thought of in the community, who is
unjustly condemned to life imprison
ment for CRIME which he never COM
mitted through the plotting of heart

ARE TROUBLED ABOUT PASSES.
Members Of Legislature May Have
to Buy Tickets Home,

The Legislature adjourns today, and
it is said that some of the members of
the house aud senate are kicking about
their railroad passes. All during last
session, and all during this session it
has been the custom of railroad men
to furnish the members of the house
and senate with passes for themselves,
their families and their friends, but
the requeets which have been made
for the free tickets during the last few
days have been met with the statement
that all the passes have given out.
Some of the members are uneasy for
fear they will have to pay their way
home, despite the fact that they are
allowed ten cents mileage by the state
going and coming to the capital.

JURY COMPLETES 1
IMPORTANT DUTY.
Presentments Read and Adjournment
For Term.
DOCUMENT An IMPORTANT CINE
Affairs of County Carefully Investiga-
ted and Important Recommendations
Made. WilIAppear in Full in Times
Recorder Soon.

Upon the reading of the generallpre-
sentiments at O'Clock yesterday after
noon the Grand Jury serving during
the November sterm of court was for
mally adjourned. Meyer In the history
of the county has more upright, bon
orable, painstaiking and representative
body of CITIZEN performed this service.
Their laborsI will leave its impress
upon affairs fol- years to come.
It was a WORKING body that ignbred
trivialties, and consequently perfor med
the duties imposed without fear or af-
lection. AndsSSs prodigieEs amount OF
work has been done in its ten daysses-
sion.
During this lime the Grand Jury in
YeRtigated probably 100 or 175 case re-
ported, returning true bills in eighty
six only. Besides this feature Off the
work the preseatments, which are 1nost
voluminous, ey ldence with what pains
taking care ths affairs of the county
were Investigated.
The presentments were received too
late for publication today, but will ap-
pear in full ere long.
Many important recommendation
are made, among others that the fee
system in Sumter be abolished and in
future all county officials be put upon
salary, as Is done in many other coun-
ties.
The report of Mr.. w, M. Jones, ex-
pert accountant, and covering four
teen typewriter pages, is embodied
in the presentments. The report COW
ers rigid examination of the books of
all county officials, made recently, and
gives thorough insight into affairs.
1t is an important document.
The method of road working is also
taken up and recommendation made as
to how it should be done to best ad-
vantage in the future.
The building OF comfortable and in
expensive court-rooms in each militia
district wherein justice courts are
held was an important recommends
ton. The method of holding court in
the back rooms of grocery stores, or
under shade trees in front, will doubt
less be abolished now.
But these are only few of the sa-
lent features of the general present
ments. It is an able and carefully
prepared document, and when pub
lished should be carefully read and
preserved.
