CHESTER.
| Lantern, October 1S: Mrs. ]. c. Cork
of Rock Hill, passed through yesterday
Iafternoon on her return home from
weeks visit to Mrs. w. G. Neville at
lClinton and other relatives in Laurcns
land Greenwood. :. . Mr. r. G. McAliley
left yesterday evening for Baltimore
to take a course in medicine in the
University OF Maryland. He was on
No. "a of the Southern, which was
wrecked near Greensboro. but he sent
a telegram back from Danville to his
brother Mr.. c. c. McAliley, saying
| that he went through safe. being In
one Of the sleepers. Mention was
made in Tuesdays Lantern Of Mr. j.
w. Bigham's having had a horse trade
with the gypsies to turn out badly.
He has recovered his own horse, the
money given as the difference and the
magistrates fee. Constable Hedgpath
handled the business, and the party
were convinced that 1t would be better
to settle the matter than to take the
risk of further trouble. OF all the
governors that South Carolina has ever
had-and there have been some fine
ones-it is safe to say that Governor
IAnsel takes high rank and is the su-
perior of most of them. He is a man
Of pleasing and engaging manners and
knows how to make new acquaint-
ance feel at home. But one thing that
is very. noticeable about him, and what
good many Of the former governors
have lacked, is the courage to follow
his convictions. He has shown this
on several occasions. Governor AnsePs
speech was one Of the best that has
ever been heard here. He talked good
common sense and right to the point.
| AS a governor and as a man he Is hard
to beat and the people Of South Caro-
lima will undoubtedly re-elect him
unanimously next year. 1t is easy to
approach the governor and get ac-
quainted without feeling that you are
in the presence of some great "socie-
ty" person. Chester people are mighty
well pleased with their governor and
hope that he will visit them oftener.

When the News went to press Tues
day evening, the court was engaged in
the trial of Mr.. ]. Palmer Steele,
charged with seduction Of the daugh-
ter of Mr.. J. R. Mothershed. Messrs.
Williams & Williams represented the
defendant and Mr.. r. E. Wylie assisted
the prosecution. The jury rendered
verdict Of guilty. Notice Of a motion
for a new trial was given, which was
heard Thursday morning and refused
by the Judge, who imposed sentence
of two years imprisonment, or pay
ment Of a fine Of $500. An appeal will
be made to the supreme court. Bail
was fixed at $1,000. The other case
against the defendant, charge Of bas-
tardy. was continued to the next term
of court. George McKenna, the young
NEGRO who shot and killed Sam Brown,
a colored carpenter from Aiken, in a
colored church here recently, was per-
mitted to plead guilty Of manslaugh-
tier. He was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for twelve years. He was repre-
sented by Green & Hines. H. w.
Smith, the white man brought up from
Kershaw Monday night, charged with
buying seed cotton without license,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
one years Imprisonment or to pay a
fine of 500. He paid up. Richard
Harris, colored, was convicted OF per-
jury. His sentence was six months
} and 500. This was rather an unusual
: case. Harris prosecuted before Mag
istrate Caskey some weeks ago cou-
pie Of negro boys for stealing water
melons from his patch. The boys
pleaded guilty and were fined $40 each,
J which their fathers paid. 1t afterwards
turned out that Harris had no water
lmelon patch as sworn to by him
, hence his indictment and conviction
for perjury. The boys said that they
pleaded guilty because they were
, scared. Chalmers McDow was con-
, victed of violating dispensary law.
; He paid his fine-$100. R. L. Long
was found guilty Of obtaining sigma
lures under false pretense. The de-
/. fendant being absent, a sealed SEN

Hinson for violation Of dispensary
| law. John Adams, colored, was con-
, victed of an assault and battery Of q
: !high and aggravated nature; sentence
three months or SIS. Fine paid. Both
