Court.

The summer term of our criminal
court was convened here on Monday
with Judge James w. DeVore, of
Edgefeld, the Judge of our new
eleventh circuit. Mr.. F. II. Ander-
son, of Anderson, s. c., is the new
stenographer. Solicitor Zimmerman
was in Columbia, before the supreme
court in the Duncan contempt case,
but was represented by Col. E. L.
Asbill, of Leesville, whom Judge De-
Wore appointed as acting solicitor.
Col. Asbill proved himself an able
prosecutor, and well cared for the
States interest, until the return of
the solicitor yesterday morning.
The first case called was against
Eugene and Edwin Moye, Of Congaree
township, prosecuted by a negro,
John Lucuis, who charged they had
horsewhipped him. Messrs. Graham
& Sturkie and w. H. Sharpe put up
long fight and an able defense for the
Messrs. Moye, while Mr.. F. E. Dreher
assisted Acting Solicitor Asbill. The
verdict was guilty on the first count
and they were fined $50 each, which
was promptly paid.
Mr.. Asbill next called the case
against Bob Paris, white, and Monroe
Harrison and Frank Moore for car
breaking and larceny. These were in
Jail and when brought into court they
entered plea of guilty. Another
case against them for similar charge,
but at another place was called and
in it they also plead guilty.
The next case called was against
Deputy Sheriff L. G. Hutto, of Brook
land, charged with the murder of a
negro named Walter Lowe on Jan. 26
last, while resisting arrest. Messrs.
Graham & Sturkie represented the
defendant, and Mr.. Asbill the State,
until the return of the solicitor on
yesterday. The trial was begun Mon
day afternoon but lasted until yester-
day morning when a verdict OF not
guilty was returned.
Eliza Eleazer was charged with dis
posing of her crops under lien. Mr..
r. G.. Sturkie defended her and after a
hard fight before the jury on the ques-
ton of obtaining money under false
pretenses, the Judge held with the
contention Of the defense. The YER
dict was not guilty.
The case against George Hall for
assault and battery with intent to kill
upon Mary Tucker on Dec. 81, 1907,
and for carrying concealed weapons,
was called for trial. Hall admitted
the second charge, but denied the
first. The solicitor accepted this and
upon his plea of guilty to carrying
concealed weapons he was fined S25.
The solicitor mol prossed' the case
against George Ferguson, charged
with violation of dispensary law in
transporting liquors on Saturday night,

Still Alive.

For the benefit of The Dispatch and
others of Lexington that are Interest
ed it NAV be well to mention that the
free bridge proposition has not been
abandoned to the politicians. Conse-
ouently it is alive, and we sincerely
trust it will be kept alive by the 2usl-
ness men having hold of it: Thls ous-
mess community may not be brllhant,
but it would not intrust anything that
needed patriotic work for its accom-
plishment to the politicians OF these
parts. The public is perpetually pay
ing the politicians; what return n mas
been made by those so pald?-Ihe
State.
We thank our worthy contempor-
ary for the above information. We
had no intention of casting any re-
flection on the business community OF
Columbia; be it far from The Dispatch
to ever utter word against those
who have worked year in and year
out to build city now the equal of
any city in the entire South. But on
the other hand, we want to see the
bridges over the Broad and Saluda
rivers made free, and to this end The
Dispatch will ever work. Weare in
deed glad to know that the PROPOSE
tion has not been placed in the hands
OF the politicians, and we say this
with all due Difference to the politi-
clans of our capitol city, who we be-
neye will support the measure with
out exception.
We feel safe in assuring our people
that The State, South Carolina's
greatest daily newspaper, will keep
the free bridge question alive in Co.
lumbia, and we will do our best to
keep the matter fresh in the minds of
those living on this side of the Con-
garee.
