Court at BarnWell.

BARNwELL, March 16.-Elliott Gard
ner, for burning the gin house of J. Law
ton Ellis, was found guilty of arson, with
recommendation to mercy.
The Free case terminated this morning.
J. E. Davis, solicitor, attempted to prove
the case by Comptroller Generals sheet,
most of which had not been signed by
Free, and his attorneys, Bellinger and
Harley, demanded that the case be proven
in the regular way by producing original
documentary evidence, which could only
be done by the introduction Of auditors
and treasurer's original entries and going
over item by item, and to do this, one of
the States expert witnesses stated, would
take three months to try the case. Upon
which Judge Townsend ruled in favor of
defendant, after which Solicitor Davis
consented to take a verdict of mot
guilty" This is regarded as big victory
for defendants attorneys, as it was a fight
from start to finish.

Local Lodse Of EIks Held important Meeting.

Strange and ominous sounds issued
from the closely curtained windows OF
the Elks Lodge last night, and those who
were on the streets stopped passers by
long enough to tell them that up stairs a
victim was being toasted upon the Goals.
When it was ascertained that the Hon.
Calvin Garris, of Bamberg, was being
conducted across the hct sands and that
a couple of his friends had come over for
the purpose of seeing their friend well
Drowned, people shook their heads, and
passed on down the highway. But MIR.
Garris, when seen after the performance,
did not look like a man who had been
badly treated, so that all doubts on that
score may be allowed to die.
Besides the initiation, the Elks last
night took up and transacted a good deal
of business which was awaiting the at
tention of the members. The lodge was
never in a more fourishing condition,
and has come to play very important
part in the social life of this city.-Orange-
