Nero Accused of Murder Of j. E.

Sumter, April 2.-Jack McCoom-
-er, the negro employe Of Cole Bros.
circus, who was convicted OF the
murder of Former Deputy Sheriff j..
e. Gaillard and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life nearly two years
ago, was to-day set free, the jury in
the second trial having fc Ind a ver-
dict of not guilty. George Sp1vens,
the white man, who was Jointly in
dicted with McCoomer, was granted
a second trial last year and was then
acquitted. McCoomer was ably de-
Tended by L. D. Jennings, Esq, he
having been appointed by the court
at the first trial.
The result of the second trial
causes no surprise, as those who
have followed the case most closely
have long been convinced that the
murderer of Tied" Gaillard was
never arrested and that a mistake
was made in arresting Spivens and
McCoomer.

Wilson May Hold Job.

Joshua Wilson, Florence's colored
postmaster, came to Washington last
week to find out what was going on,
shifted the air once or twice around
the White House, found that appar-
emily he was good for another year
in the Office and quietly slipped back
home.
Indications strongly point to his
retaining the Office for several
months unless some agreement can
be reached and no fight made in the
senate. Wilson, after remaining
here day or two and taking in the
situation, went home, saying that
Everything looked good to him and
that as he appeared to be on top he
would remain so by staying out OF
the fight.
Howard Cassell, who is trying to
land the Office, has filed with the
president and with the postoftice de-
partment papers showing that he has
been a citizen of Florence for the
last five years, that he is the owner
of considerable real estate in sur
rounding counties, and that, better
than all, he is engaged to one of the
best young ladies in Florence county.
It is believed these recommendations
are sufficient to eventually pull him
