COURT PROCEEDINGS
MISTRIAL ORDERED IN THE CAR
TER AND SPIRES CASE.
Nearly Three Days Devoted to
Principal Case-Other Cases Dis
posed o}--COurt Adjourned.

The case of the State VS.. ". NJ.
Carter and H. S. Spires for the Imur-
der of j. A. Reed was being tried
when we closed our forms last Fri
day evening.
The statement of Mr.. Reed as told
by DR.. Williams was to the effect
that Reed and Spires got into a
difficulty when Spires, not having
any pistol, called to Carter to shoot
Reed, which he did. He was shot
in two places, one of which proved
fatal. Reeds pistol had not besn
fired, and it was taken from him by
the two men who beat Reed over
the head, crushing his skull. They
then fired off the pistol twice into
the air and threw it down.
Self defense was the plea of the
defense, but as there was no one who
actually saw the shooting, the testi-
mony of Messrs. Carter and Spires
and a lot Of circumstantial evidence
was all the defense had. 1t was
claimed that the row was between
Reed and Carter, that Reed shot
first, then Carter shot, and Reed
shot again. Reeds pistol was loaded
with black powder and Carter's with
white powder and the difference in
the reports of the two pistols was all
the witnesses had to govern them in
their testimony.
Arguments in the case were made
by Abial Lathrop, Esq, and Solici-
tor Hildebrand, for the State, and
Thos. M. Raysor and VIM. C. Wolfe
for the defense. The arguments con-
sumed about, four hours time. The
Judge then charged the jury, and
they retired at about 1880 D. m.,
the case having occupied nearly two
days. 1t was expected the jury
would have considerable trouble,
and they remained in the jury room
all night Saturday until 10 o'clock
Sunday morning. There being no
likelihood Of arriving at a verdict,
the Judge ordered that they bring
in mistrial. Eleven was for ac-
quittal and one for manslaughter.
The first case tried Monday morn
ing was that of Jake Livingston,
charged with the murder of Ollie
Witt, on February 10 last. The first
witness was the wife of Jake. In
order to save her husband, she testi-
fed that Witt had been coming to
see her and she had been intimate
with him. Livingston had warned
Witt to stay away from his house,
and when he had learned Witt had
been to see his wife again, he got
his gun and shot Witt. The unwrit-
ten law ruled in this case. Counsel
agreed to verdict of manslaughter,
and the jury was instructed to that
effect. He was sentenced to years
on the public works or in the peni-
tentiary.
John Frederick plead guilty of
larceny of live stock and asked the
mercy of the court. He was sentenc-
ed to II months on the public works
and to pay fine of 81.
M. K. Livingston was next tried
for disposing Of goods under lien.
Not guilty.
Laura Jamison was convicted of
disposing of property under lien and
was fined 500 or months in the
penitentiary.
The State VS.. G. R. Antley was the
last case tried. He was charged
with obtaining goods iunder false
pretenses, and found guilty and
sentenced to serve twenty days in
Jail or pay $40. This was the last
case and court adjourned.

fee.
There will be a dance at the Elks
Hall on Wednesday evening, begin
ming at 9 o'clock. There will no
doubt be a good number of dancers
out.
Mr.. Henry Chavis, an employe of
the Orange Mills, had the misfor-
tune to lose his four-months-old
child, which was buried last Sum
day.
Mr.. T. S. Smoak, formerly a resi-

ed a position as sawyer in the mill
of DR.. j. H. Price in the Limestone
section.
Mr.. ]. w. F. Blewer, of the Vance

pound. There was two eggs in one
shell.
There will he game of ball this
afternoon at the State College
Grounds between the o. C. I. and
Clerks. Mr.. Dean House will pitch
for the Clerks.
We are glad to see that the grand
jury has incorporated the suggestion
made by The Times and Democrat
that the farmers be requested to
name their farms in their report.
Mr.. Moss Salley, who has been
home for few days since his grad
uation at the Charleston Medical

regular meeting of the Grand Lodge

there Wednesday morning.
The city authorities have determin-
ed to enforce the ordinance as to
the speed limit of vehicles and au-
tomobiles. Notice to that effect has
been officially given and all con-
cerned had better take notice.
While you are out enjoying the
band concert Thursday evening take
a stroll in the court house and let
the D. A. R. ladies serve you some
of the incest cream you haven eaten

We think it is wise thing on the
part Of the city council to limit the
speed of automobiles and vehicles
and wiser thing to see that the
law is enforced. There Is too much
fast automobiling as we'll as driving.

All the blood in the body passe through the Kidneys once every thre minutes. The Kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains Of impure matter daily. when un. healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms- pain in the back, headache, nervous. ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness. dropsy. deposits in the urine. etc. But if you keep the filters right you will havo no trouble with your Kidneys.
