are dying in the southern counties.
Sea Island cotton is suffering for rain.
Tobacco is being worked, but Its
growth is slow.
Rice is doing we'll in the George

New Trial Refused.

Sumter. Special.-George W. Muir
rays attorney made motion for a new
trial in his conviction of forgery on the
ground that the verdict was not war
ranted by the evidence. The attorney
claimed that it was not only unwar-
ranted in fact and law. but of far
reaching effect for evil if allowed to
stand. In reply the solicitor and assist
ant counsel reviewed the evidence ana
showed that no other verdict could
have been returned by an intelligent
ard honest jury. Judge Purdy refused
20 grant the new trial. He stated that
the verdict was fully warranted: and
the one to be expected from SO intel
