IN THE MAGISTRATES COURT
wesley weeks and Henry Murdoch,
Tried for Obtaining Money Under
raise Prctenses, Found Not Guilty.

case transferred from Magistrate
migrants court in Privateer, was
heard in Magistrate Wells court
Tuesday afternoon, resulting in the
acquittal of the accused Wesley
Weeks and Henry Murdoch, two ne
groes who were charged by Rev. L.
ID. Cheris with obtaining money ,in-
der false pretenses.
Rev. Chevis claimed that he had
made contract with the two men
10 90 certain amount Of ditching
for him. They had gone ahead and
done the work while he was absent
and when he returned, upon their
representation that the work was
done according to contract he had
paid them the IS agreed upon as the
price for the performance Of the con-
tract. They had told him that thew
were ready to make any changes in
the ditch that he required, but he
was too busy to go and see the work
at that time.
When he did see It, he was not
satisfied with it and did not think
that 1t came up to what was agreed
upon in the contract. Weeks and
Murdoch stated that they had been
to him and told him that they were
ready to make any changes in the
work so that 1t would be satisfactory
to him, but he had decided to indict
them for obtaining money under
false pretenses and had ACCORDINGLY
sworn out the warrant and had them
arrested.
The case was $500 one, as Mr..
d. d. Noise, the counsel for Weeks
and Murdoch. put 1t, and it should
not have taken up much time but it
consumed most Of the afternoon. Mr..
Charles L. Cuttino represented the
State.
The jury after due consideration of
the testimony rendered a verdict in
favor OF the defendants and they
were accordingly dismissed.

NEGRO CONVICT CAPTURED.
Johnnie Taylor Caught Here and Re-
turned to Columbia.

Tuesday afternoon the police no
ticed negro loafing about town in a
suspicious kind of way and after com
munioation with Columbia 1t was de-
cided that the negro here was want.
ed over there as an escaped convict.
He was accordingly arrested by
Policemen Barwick and Ward taken
TO the guard house. He tried to beg
off with the story that he was from
the country and had como to town
to look for work, and that he was
not the man who was wanted In Co.
lumbia. :
Mr.. Barwick. however, did not ac-
cept his statement as final and COM
municated further with the sheriff of
Hichland county and found that the
description of the man wanted IN
Columbia just fitted that Of the man
he had. He, therefore, told the Rich,
land County sheriff to send over for
the man which he did. the deputy
arriving here Wednesday. After
taking look at the man he stated
that he was the one wanted in Rich
land County. where he was serving a
5-year sentence for breaking into a
store. 1t was also learned that he
was wanted on another charge as
soon as he had completed his present
sentence. The deputy returned to
Columbia that morning with his
prisoner. .r

These paragraphs should be en-
tightening to the few remaining re-
construction northerners who think
that the only way the negro can get
kindness and justice and encourage
ment from his white negihbors is
through northern Interference. AS a
matter Of fact. the happiest period
OF the southern negro's existence Is
the present, and it dates from the
time when the North, upon the advice
OF such leaders of thought as ex-
President Eliot Of Harvard. determ.
ined to stop meddling and concluded
that the negro is the South's prob
lem, to be solved in the South's own
way. Few incidents in the recen,
transactions of congress have been
more ominously discouraging thar

at Motley Hall. Even the auctioneer
blushed and choked confusedly, for the
razors were only appraised at N.25, and
considered as razors, were not worth 40
