COTTON FIRE.
Iwenty-thrce Bales Shipped From
KinardS to Columbia, UnlOadcd in
Ncwbcrry.

Fire was discovered in a car
loaded with cotton on freight ON
the Columbia, Ncwbcrry and Lau-
rens road, bound for Columbia,
when the train was between Talapa
and Newberry OH Saturday night.
When the train reached Newber-
ry at about seven 0 clock the alarm
was turned i'll and the fire depart
men, responded, unloading the cot
ton and putting out the fire.
In the Car we're twenty-three
bales shipped by Smith Brothers, of
kinards, this county, to NJ. (.
Heath, Columbia. Owing to the
prompt response and the good work
OF the fire department here the loss
was very small, amounting proba-
bly, to less than $500. The fire
had only reached six Of the bales of
cotton and did very little damage
except to half Of these.
The origin Of the fire is un-
known.
1t may well be seen how serious
an affair it might have been.
For fear that the fire was not
completely eXtinguished, the cotton
was left i'll Newbcrry on Sunday.

The commission keeps a record Of

The wreck was the criminal careless

taking the official statement handed
out by the officials as a ground for
this assertion. In some Of the

to place the blame upon the manage

CHARLESTON CONSSABLES ARRESTED.
Went to Jail In Default Of BOnd-What
The Governor Says About
The Matter.
The State.

with the indictment of the five dis
pensary constables in the court of
common pleas few days ago on
the charge of assaulting him in his
place of business last August, Ru-
dolph u. Wieters carried his case
into the Uuited States court on Sat
urday, securing an order from Judge
Simonton for the arrest of Consta-
bles Bateman, Hoy, Gideon, Grady
and May. Wieters is represented
by Attorney J. P. K. Bryant. The
action is for $40, 900 damages and
the bond of the constables is fixed
at the stiff sum Of Sc, 900 each. The
case will come up for hearing at
the regular term of the court.
The papers were served on only
two of the constables, Grady and
Hoy, the others being out of the
city. The other constables will
doubtless be ordered to Charleston
to surrender themselves to the
United States court authorities as
soon as their release on bond has
been arranged for.
The plaintiff prays the interposi-
ton Of the federal court on the
ground that he is a subject of Ger
many.
Grady and Hoy we're detained in
the marshal's Office for some time
after their arrest, and then they
were taken over to the iail and
placed in the tender mercy of Capt.
Graddick.
1t is probable that the attorney
general may endeavor to secure the
release of the men Oh habeas corpus
proceedings. The constables have
been made comfortable at the iail.
WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAYS.
A dispatch to the News and Cour-
jer from Columbia says that Cover
nor, speaking of the above matter
said:
AT the present term of court the
grand jury threw out the bills of
indictment against negro in the
employ of Chicco, who was charged
with an assault upon constable in
the discharge of his duty. 1t was
feared for time that Mr.. Lykes
would die. 1t is exaspcrating to
think that the plaintiff, Wieters, a
man whose place of business was
ralded repeatedly, should consider
himself immune from the laws Of
the State, and when called upon to
observe the laws has instituted in
the Federal Courts proceedings
against the officers of the law.
Wieters, by claiming that he is a
foreigner, has had these officers
thrown into Jail to await release
upon the giving of S., 900 bond
each.
"Suclf action shall not deter in
the effort to enforce the dispensary
law. Charleston must and shall be

The case against Henry Wcrts,
c;,nrged with the murder Of Henry

some ten years ago, was continued
until the next term Of court on

represented by tombstone & Wclch,

made personal appeal to Judge

the matter off his mind, in order
that he might spend his few re.

Haynesworth seemed disposed to
press the case to trial, but the
solicitor argued thatWerts, who had
surrendered to the sheriff only after

Ten years, and this was the first

himself within the Jurisdiction of

the ground that no warrant was

was given by him and his wife to the ia
Their, who had decided his farm and home
stead to the son and wife, and was to have
in return a comfortable home with food
and clothing during the remainder OF his
natural life. The father seeks TO recover
possession Of his place because he says he
has not been properly cared for and has
not had sufficient food and clothing. The
father also testified TO several occasions
when his son had ill-treated HIM, striking
and beating him badly backing his eyes
and iniuring him internally. The treat
ment was so bad that ne had TO leave his
home Several witnesses were called who
corroborated the old mans story aud told
Of his lack Of good, comfortable clothing
and OF seeing upon him the marks of ply
steal violence. On one occasion two per-
sons saw him, and so testified, when he
came to their house late one night in No
vember, 1902, his face bloody from cut
over the left eyebrow, where he said his
son had struck him.
Friday afternoon the special grand jury
reported one true bill and was discharged
for the term. This was an indictment
against Joseph Bean, now in jail at Wood
stock, for the wilful murder OF Ephraim

The defendant son denied his fathers
story OF i'll use and gave his version OF a
fracas in which the father got the blow
over his eye as a result of an attack by him
upon his son. According TO the son, his
father was hard to get along with and
wanted to "bossn things. Pratt, junior,
said he had always intended to use the
father right and provide him with all the
necessaries Of life to make him comfort

number OF matters, corroborated him in
his story. Stickney, Sargent and Skeels
