In the Court of General Sessions IN
Charleston last Saturday,. Pat Carroll,
formerly OF Clarendon but tor num-
Der of years resident Of Charleston,'
was formally arraigned on the charge
of killing George NJ. Cauheld. He
pleaded not guilty, and the trial was
set for today. Carroll is being defended
bv Hon. W. Turner Logan, nephew OF
Mr.. J. S. Plowden of this town. Inc
killing grew out of Caufeld reporting
Carroll for violating the dispensary
law. Self-defense will be Carroll's plea.
The stage of the Institute hall was
held down last Thursday night by Gil
bert Walden, an alleged frontlersman
from the wild and woolly West. He
represented himself as being an elocu,
zionist, humorist, orator and general
entertainer, with music thrown IN. be
proved to be strong-lunged, sour sup
perless growler. He is neither an olo-
cutionist, humorist, orator or general
entertainer, and his music was decayeo.
About the only part Of this pretenders
show that was any account was some
rife shooting by his wife, but that can
be seen in almost any city in vacantlot
where fake Indian medicine men are
hawking their nostrums.

crowd of boys on the court house square
to plav ball, their laughter and fuss IS
very annoying to those in the vicinity
of the square who have writing and
thinking to do. These chaps appear to
have plenty of leisure, and do not seen
to have to work for a living. IheJ
are ragged and dirty, and honest en-
ployment is beneath their dignity: they
viii plav ball every day, while their
mothers sweat at the wash-tub or are
hoeine cotton in the fields. These do
less black pests will not accept employ
ment. ''they don't have too neither
should the council tolerate this NUS
ance upon the most public place IN
town. II they won't work, at least
make them go somewhere else to ~
dulee in their idle sport. We hope the
police will be instructed to put stop
to this growing nuisance.
