Court Met and Adjourned Monday.
What Was Done.

The Circuit Court convened
here Monday morning, Judge R.
w. Memminger presiding, and
adjourned sine die after session
of three hours. AS is we'll known,
no jurors were drawn for this
term, and the time of the Court
was taken up merely with the
trial of civil cases not requiring
the presence of a jury. Among
the few causes heard were the
ar%eals for new trial by the
Southern Power company in the
condemnation proceedings insti-
tuted by the company against
Judge d. A. Williams and Mr..
K. +. Wylie to secure rights of
way over lands of the defendants,
respectively. The Court refused
the motion for new trial in
each case, allowing the verdicts
of the juries, as heretofore pub
lished, to stand.
