Nov. 10. the planters in this
section are, IS a rule, still busy
gathering cotton. Some are sowing
oats, and we think it would be the
better part Of wisdom if more were
planted than heretofore.
Mr.. G.. d. Richards went to
Americus Saturday and came near
eeing a scrap between the conduct
or and negro. There were three
negroes drinking and the conductor
demonstrated with them, telling
them that it was against the levy
to drink on the train; this made
one Of them sulky and when the
conductor passed back through the
train and seeing the negro with his
knife open, asked the reason and
the negro attacked him with his
knife and cut him in the back.
when the conductor shet him, and
upon reaching Americas turned
him over to the police. A.

We would be delighted to know
that our smithville. Leesburg and

has to be attended to.

ChiIdsrs Case


1T is reported that Mr.. Childers'
attorneys have applied for bond lor
him before Judge Littleiohn, and
that the application will be heard
some day next week at Americas.
It il also rumored that there will
be am application for change OF
venue to Sumter county Tor the
next trial Of the case, as It has
been carefully estimated that there
are not over 50or go qualified jur-
ors left in the county, and by the
time you get a grand jury from this
number, or even a part Of the grand
jury from it there will not be
enough from which to get a jury,
remembering that the State and de-
PENDANT have a certain number Of
peremptory challenges, Of which
there can be no question or denial.
This will entail . very heavy ex-
pense upon the county to carry 50
great d number Of witnesses to
another county

for Mr.. Kennedy. Mr.. Williams
did not move for the discharge Of

drew the order and asked Judge

that the same be countersigned by
the Solicitor which was done.
These are the facts in the case.

This arose out Of the fact Of his
refusal to bring the bill against Mr..

question is asked in this connection
by the same parties, why did So
licitor Williams return into the

when the grand jury had never
seen it nor had an opportunity to
