White Men Found Guilty Of Murder.

Darlington, March 1O-A verdict un-
precedented in South Carolina was rem.
dered here to-day when one white man
was convicted of murder and another of
murder with recommendation to mercy,
both for killing q negro. The sentence
under the law for murder is death and
for murder with recommendation to
mercy is life Imprisonment. The Judge
has no discretion in either case, and
only reversal of the Courts ruling by
the Supreme Court or the mercy of the
Governor can alter the sentences. The
court records of South Carolina can
doubtless be searched in vain for case
wherein white man has been hanged
for the murder of negro. The Jury
was out one hour and thirty minutes.
Small was sentenced to be hanged Friday,
May s.
The two men are Bob Small, convicted
of murder, and John Noll convicted with
recommendation to mercy. They came
to town on Monday, February 9th, each
bringing shotgun. After staying in
town several hours and drinking heavily
they began their homeward march. All
along the road they are said to have been
Ooisterous and abusive to passersby.
shooting at travellers horses and mules.
Finally they met Frank Scott on load
OF cotton seed for his employer, w. p.
DuBose, with whom he had been woak-
ing IL years, which is testimonial to
his good character. Bob Small hailed
the negro and after a few words shot
him. The county easurer came up at
this time and protested against the act,
whereupon Noll fred npon him, hitting
him in the face with one shot and the
horse received the load in his neck and
head. The negro was peaceable, re-
liable workman.

Meeting 0couee Cotton Association.

Oconee Cotton Association met in the
Court House on the call of the president,
j. p. Stribling, on the 14th of March at
~ m. A good representation of farmers
were present--S0 to 100. Several new
school districts were enrolled and
pledges presented. Several interesting
talks were made by prominent farmers
over the county and the matter of reduo-
tion of acreage was discussed at length
and it was found quite a number of
farmers were in full sympathy with the
association, but felt they could not cut
their acreage 25 per cent, as they were
already planting very small amount of
cotton to the horse. j. b. Pickett made
the following motion, which was dis
present:
We hereby pledge ourselves to reduce
the acreage planted by us in cotton for
the year 1905 from that planted in the
year 1904 rs per cent or not to exceed 10
acres to the hors,
S. Y. Stribling, ssdent of Roswell
Cotton Mills, was .esent and on invita-
tion gave an interesting and instructive
address, assuring us we were on the
right line and had his sympathy. He
gave some splendid advice as to ware
housing our cotton and using business
methods in handling and selling our cot
ton, assuring us that our destinies were
in our own hands; that we must use
brain as we'll as muscle in our calling as
cotton growers.
The president read the resolutions
adopted by the State Cotton Convention,
which were ordered to be furnished to
the county papers for publication.
(These resolutions will be found incorpo-
rated in the report which appears on the
7th page of The Courier this week.
