GENERAL SESSIONS.

Because OF various delays thdl Sooio
not very we'll be avoided, a considera-
ble amount Of time has been lost by
the court of general sessions during
the week. There was mo- business
ready Monday morning and no case
was entered into until the afternoon.
There was another delay Tuesday
morning caused by the failure or GER
tain witnesses that had been sum-
moned in the Nevins case to appear
and when the Nevins case was con-
cluded Wednesday afternoon, the solic-
itor had nothing else to call up FOR
the reason that the murder cases had
been set for Thursday and Friday
The case Of the State against E. r.
H. Nevins, A. B. Parks and r. g. john
son. indicted for assault and oattery
of a high and aggravated nature, was
taken up on Tuesday morning before
the following jury: P. T. NcNeel, fore
man; j. w. Boyd, J. ]. Matthews, W..
T. <Hartness, R. L. Gordon, T. G. DOW
die. A. l.. Black, H. B. Mcdaniel, s. Z.
Davidson, D. L. Black, John F. Cor
don, Robt. M. Sherrer. Solicitor Hen
ry represented the State and was as
sisted by Messrs. Thos. F. mellow ana
Walter M. Dunlap. The defense was
represented by Major James F. Hart
and Hon. D. E. Finley. The prosecu-
ton and defense were along the same
lines as at the first trial last spring,
except that the case was considerably
shortened by the admission by the
state of a lot Of testimony that was
sworn to on the former occasion. Both
sides contested every inch Of ground
closely, and notwithstanding the fact
that there was a very general belief
that there would be another mistrial,
the jury returned with verdict after
remaining out only about one hour
This verdict was Guilty as to E. P.
H. Nivens; not guilty as to r. G.
Johnson and A. B. Parks" Major
Hart gave notice Of motion for new
trial and sentence was suspended
pending the hearing.
The next case called was that Of

der Of Arthur Frazer in Fort Mill town.
ship on the 14th day of June last.
Senator Brice represented the State
at the request Of the solicitor, and Mr..
Thos. F. McDow, representing the de-
fendant, announced to the court that
the state had agreed to accept plea
of guilty of manslaughter and leave
the sentence to the discretion Of the
court after defendants counsel had
made a statement Of the circumstances
in which the killing had occurred. Mr..
McDow then went on to explain that
the defendant and the deceased were
good friends up to the time of the kill
ing. Both were quite drunk on the oc-
casion. They began a scuffle In which
there was no malice whatever. During
the progress Of the scuffle hot blood
was aroused in some way and Frazer
drew a pistol that he had on his per-
son. The defendant had no pistol;
but seized the weapon that had been
drawn by Frazer and shot him dead.
The defendant claimed that he was too

SOMETIMES 1t happens that weak
kneed jury that is afraid to convict a
guilty man is drawn In York county;
but as a rule our juries are made OF
the right kind of stuff and return ver-
diets in accordance with the law and
the evidence. This thing Of bringing
In a verdict Of guilty against white
man of respectable appearance and
previous good character is a. serious
proposition, even when the evidence
warrants, and unless the jury Is COM
posed Of real men, 1t Is apt to be too
chicken-hearted to measure up to Its
plain duty.

Stock. In Pacolet Mills.

Charlotte Observer. Wednesday: Rev.
George H. Atkinson Of Monroe, arrived
in the city last night from Spartan
burg, S. c., where he attended meet
ing Of the stockholders Of the Pacolet
Mills company, held for the purpose of
making the preliminary arrangements
for the rebuilding of their three mills
which were destroyed during the recent
flood in that section of South Carolina
Mr.. Atkinson, who is one Of the stock
holders, told an Observer reporter that
the meeting was we'll attended, almost
all of the stocks being represented. No
stockholders seemed depressed and all
were in favor of rebuilding. 1t was
decided that the capital stock Of the
corporation should be increased ST.
100000. making the total s2,000,0UU.
The stockholders present in person
subscribed for $685., 700 without hesita-
ton and the stockholders In Balti-
more. Md. and other cities have agreed
to take s566,500. leaving less than $780,
900 to be raised. Even now the stock
Of the Pacolet company sells above
par, and Is considered far more valua
BILE than that Of many mills already In
operation.

WASHINGTON dispatches indicate that
Russia has at last signified her inten-
ton to open certain Manchuria ports
to the United States. II this be true
It would seem to suggest that the
shrewd old bear would make some
concessions to America in order to
wean her from the threatened alliance
with Great Britain and Japan. Grant
ed however, that such an alliance was
ever contemplated or Is now fact'
It is not creditable to this country to
go back on her allies in any such man
ner, and it Is hardly probable that such
a thing will be considered.

Is: Enraged at the tardfness Of the
courts, a mob broke into the Flem-
ingsburg Jail this morning and hanged
William Thacker, white man who
had been given life sentence for the
murder Of John Gordon two years ago.
Thacker, in a quarrel with Gordon at
Foxport, shot and killed him and then
sat on the body, Winchester in hand,
while he smoked his pipe and dared any
one to arrest him. At the time Thack-
er became outlawed. but he was later
arrested and lodged In jail at Flemings-

He stated that while engaged In mend
ing q belt, he happened to look up
and saw Foskett some twelve feet
away with a drawn stick in his hand
advancing as If to strike. He immedi-
ately drew his revolver and began FIR
ing as rapidly as he could. He could
see nothing after the first shot, for the
smoke. After firing two or three
shots he saw that the deceased had
fallen. He was unable to give any rea-
son whatever for the hostility that the
deceased had exhibited toward him.
He denied emphatically that he had
ever had any improper relations with
Mrs. Foskett or that he had knowing
ly done anything at any time to incur
the enmity of the deceased.
Mr.. Shepperd had testified that
shortly after the killing Mr.. McLester
had stated that he had killed Foskett
and that he felt no more regret or re-
morse about the matter than If he had
killed a rabbit. The witness denied
that he had said anything Of the kind;
but it was claimed that he had said
that he had been compelled to kill the
deceased and was sorry that he had
been forced to such an alteration.
Senator Brice made the first speech
for the prosecution. He analyzed the
testimony, and expounded the law. He
attributed especial Importance to the
testimony Of the witness Shepperd and
claimed that the young man told moth
ing but the absolute truth. He argued
from the position Of the wounds that
1t was impossible that the story of the
defendant could be true. He called
attention to the fact that the testi-
nlony of Shepperd had been corrobor-
ated In various particulars. while that

Two Valuable Patents.

A. L. Bailey has just been granted two
more patents for his hose coupler. One
is a combination coupler and fastener
which is patented in Canada and in
wolves an entirely new principle. 1t can
be used on any thickness of hose and
was the result of experiments made at
the suggestion Of the Montreal fire de.
partment who have recently adopted
thick rubber hose for their new engines,
Mr.. Bailey is now in correspondence
with heMontreal officials over the adop.
ton OF this continuance. The other
patent is on an automatic coupler tor
air brakes and has just been patented in
the United States. Mr.. Bailey has two
very valuable patents in these couplers
and expert railroad men and fremen
have predicted a wide use for his inven-
lions.

Preparing for Cantata.

The opening rehearsal of the cantata
Queen Esther" will be held in the cha Je
OF the Railroad street Baptist church
Friday evening at 100, at which time it
is to be hoped all who would like to join
the chorus will try and be present. A
general invitation is extended to all sing.
ers in town to join the chorus. There
will be no charge other than for books,
which will not exceed fifty cents per COPY.
The object of this work is to promote a
greater interest in music, to stimulate
the social element, and to assist financial
ly, by concert during the winter this
church, which has by large outlay so
greatly added to it's facilities during the
summer. Those taking solo parts have
been for the most part already selected
and will render them in a thorough
manner.

Low Water.
Monday and Tuesday were what the
English would call nasty days, but the
rain brings joy to the farmers hearts as
1T means more water in the springs and
wells this winter At Thetford there has
been only seven inches of rain this year,
and at Newport some farmers are carry
ing water four miles for their cattle.
These cases which have come personally
to our attention could probably be null
tiplled in many towns in the state. Lake

A Successful Carnival.

Carl H. Turner and the Epworth Lea
que of Grace Methodist church have
every reason to feel we'll satisfied with
the financial success OF last weeks car
nival as the gross receipts were nearly
$500 and the net proceeds about $500.
The entertainments were of high order
and Music Hall was filled every evening
with an enthusiastic crowd. The various
artists in the home talent performances
never did better and the artists from
abroad were among the best ever seen
here. Miss Gay Zenola McClaren as the
impersonator of Wilson Barrett's play,
1.-The Sign of the Cross" appeared on
Wednesday evening and her performance
was as good as the play itself.
On Thursday evening the people were
entertained by George Claiming Darling,
from Boston, who carried out his role as
caricaturist, entertainer and humorist to
the great satisfaction of ALL With chalk
and clay he portrays human nature IN
various phases and adds to the interest
OF his audience by recitations and stories.
illustrating in outline with few rapid
strokes on his black boards. The results
attained by his quick work are quite
marvellous and always interesting. This
part OF the program was followed by an
interesting drill by the Y. M. c. A.
Juniors led by Secretary Dillon. Miss
Olive Darling sang solo.
Saturday evening one of the largest
crowds of the week assembled to hear
Dudley Prescott of Boston, humorist and
ventriloquist. He entertained the audi.
ence with rich and varied program and
gave fine program.
The beautiful sofa pillow, donated by
Mrs. Darling, was awarded to Mrs. Carl
IL. Turner, who received the most votes
in the contest.
