In the Moot Court
Answer.
Defendant,

The defendant above named, answer
ing the complaint of the plaintiff here
in, denies each \and every allegation
therein contained except the allegation
that the plaintiff is now an old d-mald,
which this defendant admits, but al
leges that he is not responsible there
for: and also admits the allegation
that the plaintiff is willing and ready
to marry the defendant or any one else
of marriageable age. and
FOR A FIRST DEFENSE, the de-
fendant alleges:
l. That the defendant has been for a
number of years subject to braln-storm
and temporary aberrat tion of the intel
lect, usually superproduced by the
presence of some more or less prepos-
sessing or coquettish female.
II. That on or about the first day OF
June, 1906, the plaintiff and the de-
fendant were in Manning and together
upon a certain uoonlit evening, upon a
convenient piazza shaded from the
public by certain friendly vines.
III. That then and there this de-
fendant being moved thereto by the
moonlight and various other things,
including the wiles and devices OF the
plaintiff, temporarily lost his head and
thereupon defendant told the plalEtlff
that he had lost his heart also. But
this defendant denies that he promised
to marry the plaintiff, or even had any
intention OF doing so, but was simply
attempting to satisfy the plaintiffs de-
sire for attention and consideration.
". This defendant denies that he
was responsible for any OF his acts, as
he was at that time suffering from
temporary alteration of the intellect.
FOR A SECOND DEFENSE, This
defendant denies, upon information and
belief, that the plaintiff has received.
offers of marriage from numbers OF
young men, and if such was the case
this defendant respectfully submits
that be should pot be held responsible
for the foolish or insane acts OF other
young men who perhaps are as suscep-
tible to moonlight as this defendant.
WHEREFORE, Defendant asks that
the complaint be dismissed, with costs,
and the defendant declared eligible for
entry into any matrimonial race IN
which he may desire to engage:

Paxville Rrzed by Fire.

The town of Paxville got into the
clutches of the fire 6end last Sunday
morning, and the business portion was
DESTROYED with the exception OF the,
brick Store owned and occupied by G.
q. Curtis. The fire broke out IN the
store of J. W. Minis about l O'Clock
Sunday morning. There was a very
high wind blowing at the time and
with no fire eXtinguishing apparatus
the property was al the mercy OF the
flames. All of the buildings destroyed
were of wood, and they being drylfrom
the continued drought the fire con-
sumed them with such haste that there
was no time to save any goods, and Mr.
Louis Weinberg and his family who
were living in dwelling attached to
his store only saved a little bedding
and were thankful to escape with their
lives. The FIRE is supposed to have been
the work of an incendlary. whether TO
cover up q robbery. or to crafty malice
is not known, but we are told there
was no FIRE in the Minis store where
the fire started, nor were there any
matches about the place, and SATURDAY.,
night when the store closed there was
nothing to indicate the least DANCE.
The Curtis Brothers will rebuild right
away of brick, and we presume most OF
the others will do the same, as Pax
vile is good business point, and while
the loss is heavy upon the victims OF
the FIRE, the destruction Of the wooden
buildings will only be the better for
that town. There was no way for US to
obtain the value of stock the parties
carried, but the insurance is as follows:
J. W. Minis, $500: Curtis Brothers,
s., 800: Louis Weinberg, $500: l. S.
Barwick, 1000: c. ": Hicks, $500; j.
J Broadway on building occupied by
Hicks, 5000; Mathew Edwards, 2-story
building, no insurance. The wind was
so high that the flames crossed two
streets, and large fakes OF burning
roofing we're carried over to the G: Il:
Curtis residence over one hundred
wards distant, and it was only by the
utmost vigilence this residence was
saved from burning.

Mr.. Dick Cantey, Of Statesburg,

in the Santee swamp, stopped in town
to see friends one day this week.
It was mentioned some weeks ago,
that our colored poet, S. A. Ellerbe
had the contract for claying our
streets. It has been reported to me,
that upon concluding his contract that
he refunded fifty dollars to the town,
declaring that he had charged too
much.
This is the second time he has re-
turned money. We think his conduct
exceptional. He was advised not to do
it. for he might lose on his next con-
tract, but persisted in returning the
meney. Such man is credit to the
community and an honor to MS race.

probably the most attractive feature OF
the entertainment, as only few OF the

Will Plead Insanity.

The attorneys in the matter OF the
suit for breach of promise to be trlea
in Manning on the ID OF May have had
a conference and agreed in q petition
to haye Mai. Abe Levi appointed ludee
to preside at this special term, ana III
deference to the wishes Of these at
torneys, Major Abe Levi has been APP
pointed and will preside at the trial IN
this very interesting and much mooted
case. Immediately after the puollca-
tion Of The Times of last week IN
which appeared the complaint OF the
plaintiff, the friends of the defendant
made an effort TO bring about recon
ciIiatlon, up to the time OF our going to
press, an interview with the plaintiff
has been refused, she declining TO re-
ceive any entreaties on behalf OF
the defendant. These friends will con-
tinue their efforts at bringing about
reconciliation, failing il this they will
offer compromise, but from all lndi-
cations. a compromise will be rejected
also.
The defendant claims that any at
tempts to induce the plaintiff in this
cause to withdraw her complaint is un-
authorized by him, and if it were not
for the motives prompting these friends
he would regard it otlicious. He says
he is able to take care of himself, AM
will do so, at the same time he appre-
ciates the kindly interest his ANXIOUS
friends have in him.
This matter has reached a stage
where neither party can show the
white feather, both must face the mu-
sic and be prepared to take the conse-
ouences. He is confident that he will
be able to show that there is nothing
to warrant . verdict in the plaintiffs
claim. and the answer he has fled
