March 8, 1907, at Cayce, S. C. This
is the case in which Sheriff Corley
caught the liquor and the horse and
wagon. The whiskey went to the
dispensary, but Ferguson got the
horse and wagon back.
These cases were yesterday con-
tinued: Lemuel Judge and Mary
Judge for larceny of seed cotton from
the field; B. F. Rushton for obtaining
goods by false pretense; Marion Bow
ers for obtaining goods by false pre-
tense; Luther Lites for burglary and
larceny; James L. Shealy for rape.
In the case against David Day,
charged with carrying unlawful
weapon, his attorneys Messrs. Graham
& Sturkie moved to squash the indlct'
ment because unconstitutional. The
solicitor7opposed the motion and the
question was strongly argued. Judge
DeVore held with the defense and MIR.
Day was discharged.
Yesterday afternoon the case against
M. L. Fox and Robert Wright charg-
ed with gambling was tried. Fox
was present but had no attorney nor
witnesses. Wright was tried in his
absence. The jury found them both
guilty, and Fox was sentenced to go
days on the gang or SIS. There
was a sealed sentence as to Wright.
Steve Meetze, a negro boy, of this
town, plead. guilty to the charge of
assault and battery of a high and
aggravated nature, committed Jan.
uary 21st, last, upon, w. Fred
Shumpert, at Lexington depot, with
a knife. The jury gave him ninty
days or $4,000.
Alex Hall, the negro who assaulted
Mrs. Claude Sox, at Edmund, about
April first, and who has been in the
penitentiary for safe keeping, was
brought by the sheriff last night.
He was arraigned this morning, but
had no attorney, claiming to have an
attorney from Winsboro, who does
not know of the Court here now. The
Judge gave him little time to get
ready.
Washington Leaphart and Willie
Leaphart, sons of Mr.. Walter Leap
heart, were indicted for assault and
battery with attempt to kill, the war
rant being sworn out by Mr.. l. v.
Wessinger. No bill.
The case against Benton G. Turner
for seduction was continued.
This morning the case against 0. E.
Harsey, for bastardy is being tried.
Mr.. Sharpe is assisting the solicitor
and Mr.. Graham & Sturkie the
defense.
The grand jury is yet in session but
will get through today.
Court will probably last the week.,

Solicitor Zimmerman.

In this issue of The Dispatch is to
be found the announcement of the
candidacy of Solicitor George Bell
Zimmerman for reelection as sollc-
itor. He has made an able and eff
cient prosecuting attorney, and the
present indications are that he will
succeed himself without opposition.
He is the youngest solicitor ever
elected by the voters of any judicial
circuit, having been elected at the
age of % by one of the largest votes
ever given to any candidate for that
Office in the old Fifth Judicial Cir
cult. The fact that no opposition to
him has developed thus far, is trib-
ute to his ability and fitness for the
position. Since going into Office he
has demonstrated that he is the peer
of any Solicitor in the State, as is ev-
idenced by the record he has made.
He has so conducted himself as to
win the respect and esteem of all with
whom he came in contact; and we
are satisfied that the voters of this
circuit will again elect him to the Of
fee of Solicitor. They could not
make better choice.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1908-06-10

Within the last few days strong
pressure has been brought to bear on
Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman to
get him to enter the race for Attorney
General. If he should enter this race
he would make formidable candi-
date since he has such splendid rec
ord behind him as Solicitor. He is
eminently fitted for such a position
by reason of his ability as lawyer
and practitioner. Possibly no mem
Der of the bar of his age stands as
high in his profession as he does. We
are quite sure that if he should be
made Attorney General that he would
be able to cope with the arduous du-
ties of the Office. We are informed
though, that he will not enter this race
but will offer for reelection as Solic-
itor of this circuit, and has already
filed his pledge.

Editor Bayly Indicted.

general sessions here this forenoon
the grand jury returned a true bill
against N. Rogers Bayly, Of Bates
burg, editor of The Advocate, upon

1907, at Batesburg, the said assault
was made upon w. G. Allen, G. F.
Bass, DR.. s. w. Page, J. J. Allen and
A. J. Bethea, the latter being the
private secretary to Gov. Ansel, and
Rev. Allen, the pastor of the Baptist

Late this afternoon the Sheriff re-
turned. with Mr.. Bayly, and upon
application Judge DeVore allowed
bail in the sum of $4oo.-The State.
