Four Fot Acquittal at the Trial
Held This NJ orning at the
City Hall.
CASE MAY BE DISMISSED

The only remaining prosecution in
the Sunday baseball cases was called
at the city hall this morning before
Justice Jesse Young and tried. II
was against Pitcher Freeman, who
WAS tried several days ago and result
ed in hung jury. All the other cases
have been disposed OF by acquiattal
before jury or dismissal on motion
OF the county attorney. County At.
torney Graves is out OF the city at
present, or when the jury heard the
evidence in the Freeman case this
morning and failed to agree, standing
four for acquittsl and two for convic.
tion, would doubtless have moved
for dismissal, as he was in favor of
Diminishing IL yesterday but WAS in
formed that the prosecution would to-
day be able to prove the charge.

case was tried few days ago stood

Both sides today expressed q desire
to get rid of this, the last case, but
Justice Young did not desire to assume
the responsibility Of Diminishing it
without a motion from the county at
torney, and set 1t for Monday, July
Goth, unless sooner dismissed by order
Of the county attorney. 1t is believed
that when Attorney Graves returns
from Dawson where he is attending
the county attorneys convention he
will go before the magistrate and
move 8 dismissal.

Another Section in Dire Dis

Special to The State.

Special to The State.
st. Matthews, Dec. 19.-The
picture presented in The State
today precisely describes the con-
dition in the Jamison section,
except that the landowners of
that section are not in good
circumstances themselves.
Some time ago in a converse.
tion with Mr.. Thomas Horger,
who runs gin at that place, he
told me that at that time last
year he had ginned over 100000
worth of cotton for the Jamison
people. This year at the same
time he had ginned only six
bales. His entire output this
year will not be over 80 or 35
bales. Other gins near there are
about as short. Many of the
farms were twice heavily ferti-
lized and planted and then on
account of continued rains that
made it impossible to get in the
fields with stock, were abandoned
In July.
No such disaster has ever
come to this country before. ST.
Matthews is the main cotton
shipping point for this county
and the receipts to date are about
one-half for an ordinary year.
Prices help those who have any
but what is to become of those
who made nothing9 Many have
been seriously thinking that an
appeal will have to be made for
hel p in the Jamison section.
