dable Docket for Next Week. &

| ""a e"iiteu over from tpa laSt term
or the court and quite il number of
new cases will be put, on when The
grand jury passes upou the bills of
indictment. ..r.
1t IS not known whether the sick
ness in Judge Watts family will
permit him to be present. and hold
court or not. Col. Hunt, who is
holding court for Judge Watts at
Abbeville this week, will not be able
to hold the: court at Newberry mas
much as he is counsel in several Of
tho more important eases. Nothing
having been heard to the contrary it
is presumed, of course, shaS Judge
Watts will be here and hold the
court. There are several cases Of
considerable moment that were car
riesl over from the last term of court.
1t is likely that the case of Mr.. p.
w. Goodwin for the killing Of Mr..
Eugene L. LeaveH will come up for
trial, and if it does, it is likely to
take considerable time. There are
also two or three other murder cas-
es. The ease Of n. j. Davenport, if
it should be called, will occupy prob
ably two days. 1t will he remember
ed that this ease has h"cn tried twice
and in both instances The jury failed
to agree.
The following prisoners are in
Jail: Louis Burton, Lawson Johnson,
and Elmorc MaycS, who are charged
with arson; Spencer Gilmore, mur4
der, and Joe Henly, Jr, Harrison
Thompson, larceny; Amos Ruff,
murder; Matte Williams, breach of
trust with fraudulent intent. The
ease Of c. c.. Armstrong, charged
with murder, will also be on the
docket. Armstrong has been admit
ted to bail and was released from jail
on Tuesday morning as soon as the
papers were returned from Able
vile. The papers which have been
sent up to the clerk 5 Office from the
magistrates have been forwarded to
