Case Against Neely.
The court Of general sessions has no
jurisdiction in the cases against John
G. Neely, charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses, for the
reason that in no case does the amount
involved aggregate as much as the $2O
necessary to constitute grand larceny.
This was the opinion given out by So
licitor Henry on his arrival In York
vile, and consequently the warrants
under which Neely was committed were
quashed. But this does not mean a
suspension of the proceedings. On af-
fdavits sworn out by Messrs. Sidney
Hogue, Perry Ferguson and others, new
warrants were issued by Magistrate s.
N. Johnson on Monday, and Neely was
promptly re-committed. Other war
rants, it is understood, will be issued
by Magistrates McMackin and Plexico,
and it is probable that cases will be
made from every township in the coun-
ty. AS yet no time has been fixed for
the trial of the first case; but 1t is ex-
pected that the matter will be attended
to without unnecessary delay.
Pleasure at Winthrop.
Rock Hill special Of July IA to Co.
lumbia State: For the benefit Of the
Free kindergarten association two
pleasant entertainments were given
last week in the Winthrop auditorium
by the ladies and gentlemen Of the
summer school, In the first Of these,
potato race, the gentlemen were more
in evidence than at any other time In
the history of summer schools. An ar
ray Of masculine forms lined the
stage, presenting as it seemed a par
ody on the summer school, so entirely
was 1t devoid of the bright bits Of
color, which usually grace such scenes.
However, the ladies formed the audi
ence and greeted with applause the
ungainly attempts Of their favorites in
the race, as they coaxed the coy po-
tatoes upon diminuitlve spoons, and
started upon the perilous journey to
the basket. Many were the sad hearts
