BENSON BRIEFS.
A Near Serious Accident-..NeWs
Notes and Notions.

Benson, May 19:-Mr J S Merri-
man, cashier of the Bank of Hem
ingway, while passing through this
section last Monday in his Ford ma
chine, made a very narrow escape
from being pinioned beneath his car
at the bottom of a six-foot ditch.
On making a curve to turn his ma
chine he found he was going too
near ditch on the side of the road
and applied the emergency brake,
but for some reason it failed to re-
spond, and in a moments time he
was whirled headlong with the ma
chine into the open ditch. Fortu-
nately he had the wind shield down
and the top turned back-the way
was clear and it was up to him just
then to leap for life. The machine
was running somewhat parallel with
the ditch and when it keeled over,
the ditch was wide enough for it to
land on the bottom, with the engine
still running. Ye scribe took Mr.
Merriman to Kingstree, where he
got another machine with some
hosting contrivances of ropes, etc.,
and, with the assistance of the
many obliging colored people of this
section he shortly had the stranded
auto in shape for travelling and very
soon the owner was happily vending
his way back to the thriving City of

BAIL FIXED AT IS, 600.
Slayer of.J.EM. Cannon.Eeleased
& r.. from Jail.

Columbia, May 10: - Joseph G
Sullivan, of Laurens county, was this
afternoon granted bail by Chief JUS
tice Gary in the sum of $1,000. Sui
livan killed Col John M Cannon at
Gray Court May IL Chief Justice
Gary stated,that he would assign no
reason for the granting of bail, in
asmuch as the case has to be tried in
the court OK general sessions, but re
was satisfied from the showing made
that the defendant was entitled to
bail.
Solicitor R A Cooper and Attor-
ney ] B Park appeared for the State,
while Attorney W R Richey appear
ed for the defendant.
Self-defence will probably be set.
up as plea by Sullivan. This was;
apparent this afternoon at the hear
ing. Admitted facts were that Sui
livan said Cannon made untrue state.
ments, and that Cannon struck Sulli--
van with a light stick he carried.
According to some of the testi-
mony brought out. the State con-
tends that the blow from the stick
and the pistol shot came at the same
time. Attorney Park likened the
case to the Allen case in Virginia. as
Cannon was an officer of the court.
Facts brought out at the hearing to-
day were practically the same as
those in the published accounts of
the killing.
Sullivan was characterized b: So
licitor Cooper as a murderer" by
reason of the nature of the killing
The Solicitor declared that Sullivan
sought the difficulty h, n.i',:: to
GRAY Court armed and rh, y :, ek.
ing Cannon after the t,i&l. f,llu ing
which the shoatinp took place.
