OHARaED WITH MURDER.
Citizen OF Columbia, Whose Horse
Ran Over Child, was Acquitted.


{ Columbia, June 1S.-D. w. RUIZ.
charged of murder, was to-day tried
before the Circuit Court, Judge Gary
presiding, and found not guilty.
A little over a year ago Run was
driving into Columbia, up Main
street, and ran over and killed Am-
ner Norman, little Syrian boy,
three years old. The child was in
the middle of the street, and when
Ruff saw him 1t was too late to pre-
vent the accident. The child, accord
Ing to the testimony given in court,
was getting out Of the way of
wagon which was going down Main
street and ran into the buggy, which
was preceding up the street The
horse knocked the child down with
Its forefoot and stepped on it with
the hind foot, and before the buggy
could be brought to a standstill one
wheel had passed over the child. Sc
riously injured internally, the child
lived only few minutes.
1t would have been practicable for
the coroner's jury to have exoner-
ated Mr. Ruff, under the circum-
stances, at the time, but he preferred
to have the legal proceedings gone
through with in court.
An unusual feature in the trial
was caused by the inability OF the
father of the child to testify, when
placed on the witness stand, on ac-
count Of his not being able to speak
English. A friend acted as inter-
preted, however, and they were both
sworn in and took the stand togeth-
er. Norman told what he knew about
the accident to his friend and he In
turn told 1t to the jury. ,
1t was plainly shown that the ac-
cident was entirely the fault of the
parents of the child in letting it play
in the street unattended.
In charging the jury Judge Ernest
Gary said in substance, that the tes-
timony proved that the accident was
not at all the fault of the driver of
the buggy which ran over the child,
and that it was simply an accident,
and that accidents will happen, even
in the best regulated families.

Negro Gets 100 Lashes.
(Anderson Intelligencer, 10th

(Anderson Intelligencer, 19th.)
A negro man about thirty years Of
age was given severe whipping by
a hundred or more good citizens Of
this county in Martin township on
Monday afternoon. The darkey had
written two insulting letters to a 16-
year-old girl, whose mother Is
widow. The girl did not expose the
first letter, but she did show the sec
ond letter to her mother. This letter
was most insulting and was full Of
threats. AS soon as the men Of that
neighborhood heard Of the acts of the
darkey tfsy gathered together End
caught the negro, and after getting
a full confession from him, placed
him across log in the woods and
applied heavy buggy trace. Some
in the crowd wanted to kill the negro,
but the terrible whipping he received
was the next thing to death. He
was told to leave the State, and to be
in a hurry about it.

Items from Return.

Return, June 17.-Special: Sein-
ing and going to town seems to be
the order of the day now.
Farmers are getting quite a rest
from their field work on account of
so much rain. If we were the judges
we would say we are getting too
much rain; and perahps a good many
have put themselves on the Judges
seat and have actually said this. If
so they are to be excused and SYM
pathized with. Sometimes, when we
commence to judge some people by
| their fruits and that Is the only
way we can judge them-we are per-
suaded to believe that they think
they do really know more about
themselves, and what they need, and
the things that would be best for
them than their Maker. We find a
stronger proof of that in the many
vacant seats in the church on every
Sunday morning, l believe, than any
where else, in that so many people
| say, by their actions, that If they
| went to Sunday school and didn't
| stay at home and rest they wouldn't
feel like working next day-as much
as to say, God has nothing to do
with my feelings. They never seem
to realize that they, and all they
have belong to God, and that he
gave it to them, their lives and their
belongings. I did not mean to
preach sermon, but when we real
iZe In the true sense what our Lord
meant when he said without me ye
can do nothing" it Is hard to keep
from saying some things.
Things are generally moving along
smoothly through this section.
There are some who are not through
planting corn yet. Rather late now,
but better late than not at all. Has
ten the day when there will be more
corn grown in this county and less
cotton.
People are abou. through harvest
Ing around here. There has been a
lot of oats raised this year, and they
come in mighty nice when a fellow
Is almost out of corn.
Ebert Ellis wears smiles all the
day long now, because there's ano-
ther Ellis in the family. It's a boy,
too.
We learn that we are to have a
three weeks singing school at Re-
turn this summer. 1t Is badly need
ed. The young ought to learn to
sing more and sin less.
One other thought, and I'm done:
noticed in your paper last week
where some one said that every let
ter Of the English alphabet was used
in the twenty-first verse of the sew
enth chapter of Ezra. Please allow
me to correct that man, and tell him
that the letter 81" is not used in that
verse. 1t reads thus: "And I, even
|. Artaxerxes, the king, do make a
decree to all the treasurers which are
beyond the river, that whatsoever
Ezra, the priest, the scribe Of the
law OF the God Of heaven, shall re-
quire Of you, 1t be done speedily"
Brother, let's keep in mind what the
Lord said would happen to us If we
took from or added to the things of
the bible.
Some new faces in the Sunday
school last Sunday morning were
some of the fruits" Of the Sunday
school convention held with our

Honolulu is one Of the difficult

the Orient where smallpox, plague
and cholera are common. and the
