NATIVE PLUMS.
ExquisiteIy Delicate In Flavor and
Texture of Flesh.

While there Is no class of plums that
can approach the finer varieties of Eu-
ropeans for firmness of flesh, richness,
mildness and delicacy Of flavor for
culinary purposes, 1t is true that this
same firmness of flesh and richness of
quality soon cloy the appetite for these
fruits in their fresh state. Not so
with the finer varieties of our native
plums, which, indeed, might be classed
with grapes, oranges, melons, etc, and
which, while they possess the attributes
of delicacy of flavor, juiclness, refresh
ing sprightliness and healthfulness, do
not possess that peculiar combination

TRIAL OF JOE MURPHY.
For Alleged Assault On Ellis Benja-
min-Justice BOrnemann Reserves
Decision Until Tuesday.

The trial of Joe Murphy, charged
with an assault on Ellis Benjamin,
both colored, was held yesterday before
Justice BOrnemann. The alleged as
sault, it will be recalled, occurred
about two weeks ago at the Champion
compress, and for awhile it was
thought that the injuries received by
Benjamin would prove fatal. He is
still in pretty serious condition at
his home in Florence.
The plea made for Murphy b. his
attorney, W. J. Bellamy, Esq, was
self-defense and there were several
witnesses who testified that Benjamin
was advancing on Murphy in a threat
ening manner and the latter backed
away from him and then clinched in
an effort to avoid a fight. However,
the fight was forced and the two men
exchanged several blows.
All of the states witnesses agreed
practically with the above version of
the story. Attorney Bellamy made a
short but spirited speech for his client
Justice Bprnemann then announced
that he would reserve his decision until
Tuesday morning and Murphy was talk
en- back to Jail.
