COTTON GOODS TONING UP.
Trading Not too Active, but Situa.
ton More Encouraging.

New York, Nov. 19.-The week
closed with a better tone manifested
in the cotton goods markets. Trad
ing has not BEEN active, but there
has been a steady broadening in the
demand and hardening in prices on
cloths that have sold very low.
It has developed that some of the
large selling agencies have been
quietly accepting business for deliv-
cry in the first two months of the
year and buyers have been learning
that immediate deliveries of many
staples are not so readily obtained.
Delay is still noted in the placing
of duplicate business on wash fab
RIGS and white goods by retailers and
jobbers and the fine goods end of the
business is slow.

Court Proceedings.

After the Tuten case was conclud-
ed Thursday of last week, the trial
of Frank Jennings, charged with
murder, was taken up. Jennings is
a negro who works on Mr.. w. NJ.
Brabham's plantation near town.
Some months ago his brother got
drunk and threatened to kill him,
finally getting a gun and coming to
the house where Frank Jennings
was. As he came in the door Frank
struck him with a bed slat and kill
ed him. The jury found him not
guilty, as it was clearly case Of self
defence.
Martin Grant, a negro, was tried
for assault and battery with intent to
kill. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $1,000 or
serve 80 days on the chain gang. He
paid the fine. Grant was charged
with striking Rev. H. H. Matthews,
negro, with a stick.
Mary Ann Miller, the negro woman
who shot and killed William Camp
bell a little more than week ago,
was tried and found not guilty. The
woman's story was that Bill threat
ened to kill her and picked up his
pistol from the table, both Of them
getting hold of it at the same time.
In the struggle over the weapon it
was discharged. She claimed that
she did not fire the pistol nor did she
attempt to shoot Campbell.
In the case of Landy Clifton, charg-
ed with obtaining goods under false
pretenses, the judge directed ver-
dict of not guilty.
The transaction of civil business
was begun Monday of this week, and
a. number of orders winding up es-
tates and for the sale of real estate
for division have been taken. The
following cases have been tried:
Johnnie w. Jones VS.. Geo. Jones
ct al. This was a suit over some
land. The jury found for both the
plaintiff and defendants, and as there
are number of questions involved,
the judge will prepare a decree es-
tablishing the interests of the parties
under the verdict.

Will Soon Resume Work.

The president of the Santee Cy-
press Lumber Company makes the
following statement: The condi-
tions are as follows: The saw mill
is temporarily closed for repairs, this
being a propitious time on account
of the great difficulty in securing COL
ored labor to operate. Likewise the
railroad logging operations are tenn
porarily closed for the same reasons,
and also because we have ample river
logs in sight to start the mill and
run during the winter without rail-
road logs. The balance of the plant
is in full operation and will continue
so. The company is not contemplate
ing a sale of it's plant"

Tuten Not Guilty.

, When The Herald went to press
Wednesday of last week the case OF
Roy Tuten, charged with the MUIR
der of J. R. Langford, was being
tried, this case being transferred
here from Hampton county. AS we
expected, no testimony was offered
by the defence, it relying entirely on
the weakness of the case made out
by the State.
Arguments in the case were begun
Wednesday afternoon and continued
Thursday morning. About 1880
o'clock the jury retired and soon
reached a verdict of not guilty. This
verdict was generally expected, for
while there was some suspicious cir
cumstances testified to which con-
nected Tuten with the killing, the
evidence was not strong enough to
even bring about a mistrial.
