Court Proceedings.

Court convened on Monday
morning with Hon. J. G.
Klugh as presiding judge.
The solicitor, stenographer
and other court officials were
at their respective posts. On
account of quarantine regula
tions three grand jurors and
five petit jurors were prevent
ed from attending. This,
however, did not seriously
retard the progress as the five
mile jury box was called into
requisition.
The March term Of criminal
docket is the lightest on record
Only three indictments, all
against Edgeheld fire bugs,
were handed the grand jury
and a true bill was found in
each case. Monday was con
sumed with the case of the
State VS. Chris McManus, in
dicted for forgery, not guilty.
The State was represented by
the solicitor and J. w. De-
Wore, Esq, and the defendant
by Messrs. S. McG. Simkins
and S. M. Smith.
AS we go to press on Tues
day, Ella Morse, charged
with assault and battery, is
being tried. The solicitor is
representing the State and ].
w. DeVore, Esq, the defen
dant.
The grand jury was dis
charged Tuesday atnoon and
it is probable that the docket
will be cleared and court
adjourn sine die this afternoon

change of sentiment in the
city, in favor of enforcing the
law, made these convictions
possible.
Owing 80 shrewdpess, born

on the run for some days pri-

57th Congress and while in
possession of this point of
vantage put in some effe ective
work for his constituency. He
secured-what at first seemed
impossible-an adverse COM

nomination and intercepted
the vote of the senate upon
said nomination. But for the
$4,000 secured by him
work on the dry dock at
Charleston would have been
temporarily suspended for
lack of available funds. He
also won the fight involving
the payment of Suth Carolina S
claim for $47,245 against the
national government.
