At a recent meeting of the
new Ea ley city council several
new ordinances were passed.
The most important Of these
was in regard to a speedIimit for
automobiles which plainly states
that the maximum speed of
such machines must not exceed
six miles per hour anywhere in
the Incorporate limits of the
town Of Easley. Notices will be
posted at all roads leading into
town, and it is expected that all
cars from neighboring towns
shall also observe this limit. The
Q her ordinances passed were in
regard to citizens allowing their
stock to 90 loose in the city, not
to permit drivers to leave their
teams unhitched on the streets,
and to prohibit negroes from
gathering at the depot and thus
block the passengers from the
trains.

SUSPECTED OF REPORTING
STILL: SHOT THRU THE HEAD

Pickens county's good record
for law and order was slightly
dented about two weeks ago
when Mr.. Jake Majors was
met in the road. near the
Amber place above Pickens, by
three unknown men and was
shot thru the head and badly
beaten up.
From what can be learned it
Is thought that Mr.. Nabors was
suspected of having reported a
still which was recently destroy
ed by officers and the attack
was made ON him for revenge.
The officers say Mr.. Nabors. did
not report the still.
No arrests have been made,
but United States and county
officers are working on the case.

IL men filed back into the jury box
and rendered their verdict acqutttng
Long of the murder of Pickens N.

ed over the legislator since few
days after his election last September
was declared to be without founda-
tton and Hugh Long stood free man.
The defense closed just before tho
morning recess. When court convened
the state put UP several witnesses in
rebuttal and as soon as the evidence
was all In James r. League, foreman
Of the jury, requested Of Judge Gary
that the jury be excused for mo.
ment The jurors filed into the jury
room and were sounded by the fore
man. It was the work Of moment
Returning to The court room, Mr.
League requested Judge Gary to turn
the case over to the jury, thus dis
pensing with argument Of counsel.

declared. eve are all Of one mind
We nave heard the evidence and moth.
Ing the lawyers on either side can say
can have any effect on the verdict we
shall render"
Judge Gary objected and Solicitor
Gunter and attorneys for the prosecu-
tion resisted the suggestion. Judge
Gary pointed out that under the con,
stitutton the accused had right to
be heard, whereupon Mr.. Croft OF
Longs counsel informed tho Judge
that Mr.. Long was absolutely willing
to turn the case over to the jury with.
out argument and abide by the ver-
dict, so clearly had the plea of self
defense been made out. The solicitor
made two short arguments against
the suggestion, but the foreman Of
the jury insisted and Judge Gary be-
gan charging the jury, both on mur-
der and manslaughter, after which
the jury retired only to record the
verdict.
