In the United States Circuit Court
iii Greenville last week the grand jury
found true bill against K. w. Pruit,
Forrest Pruit and j. w. Neese, of this
county, charged with peonage. Judge
Braw:ey IN his charge touched on the
special act of congress directly at the
practice of imprisoning people for debt,
and said that the jurors must enquire
carefully into the facts of the caee be-
fore them and find true bill il they
were of the opinion that the case should
be tried by the court; otherwise they
would be at liberty to throw it out.
This is the second peonage case that
has como up for trial in South Caro-
lima. The Pruitt case was mentioned
last spring, but for some reason the
district attorney did not give it to the
gra1d jury. The case did not come up
for trial at this term, and it is general
ly thought that it will never be tried.
