Hopelessly disagreed. with four for

reported Saturday and were dis.
charged by Judge Holding. The Jury
has been out since O'Clock Thursday
afternoon. and for the past twenty
four hours it has been a common pre-
diction that no agreement would be
reached.
At 10 O'Clock this morning Judge
Holding sent for the jury. The re-

and quite a crowd had collected in
the court room when the jury entered
AS soon as the jury had been polled
Judge Holding asked them to report.
n. E. Dew, foreman, promptly re-
sponded: 1--WE beg to report that we
are hopelessly disagreed"
Judge Holding then questioned 9TH
er members of the jury who also
stated that they had abandoned hope
of arriving at an agreement.
Il might say, your honor" then
said Mr.. Dew, that we have consid.
cred the evidence carefully and quiet

never agree"
Judge Holding then discharged the

also has splendid opportunities to sue

can be bought for from $40 to $50 per
acre. In addition to this good pro.
ductive lands can be rented for from
81 to SO per acre from Indians.

W. J. Cakes started the wheels of
his new furniture and chair factory
Wednesday afternoon. The new fac
tory is located in Riverside this side
Of Ashton's Mill The sound of the
engine as it made its "chug, chug"
and the buzz of the saws, Iathes. etc,
was music to the ears of many labor
ers. The factory has been ready to
run for many weeks, but Mr.. Cakes
has had some trouble getting his
large thirty-horse power gasoline en-
CINE to run, owing to some break in
the cylinder. This repair was over
hauled and still it would not run. F.
r. Gamble was called in and started
the engine and since it has been do
ing fine work
Mr.. Cakes has practically the same
kind of plant that the old Riverside
Planning Mills had before their disas-
trous fire about twelve months ago,
with the exception of the saw mill
part. For number of years a chair
has been manufactured here by Mr..
Cakes and this chair will be turned
out together with many other articles
If furniture. The new factory will
give employment to twenty-five or
thirty hands and means much to the
own.

noteworthy A year ago, there were
scarcely more than two blocks of
concrete pavement in Columbia and
now they lead out of town to the
suburbs in nearly every direction and
are becoming so common within the
city limits as to excite little comment.
The number of fences that have been
removed is gratifying to the lovers
Of the beautiful and there is no more
pleasing evidence of the effect of
unity of action in this matter than IN
the homes of Mrs. Cowsert Messrs. -,
Raymond and Clifford Adkisson and !
Mr.. Bell on High street, where the
concrete curbing adds a finish to their |
well.kept lawns.
Ninth street affords another strik.
ing illustration of progress. The city
authorities have graded the street and
the handsome new porch added to the
residence of Mr.. Fry is a noteworthy
improvement. Concrete pavements
have been laid before several homes.
School street, too, now boasts a fine
poyement.
The identifying effect of hedges is
already being shown between the

which are particularly attractive at
this season, as well as at the homes
