PUT UNDER PEACE BOND.
Mrs. Sadie Singletarry Given Hearing
Friday Morning.

Mrs. Sadie Singletarry was given a
hearing In Magistrate MoOres court
Friday morning on the question OF
whether it was best to put her under
4 peace bond, or whether one was
unnecessary. At conclusions of the
hearing Magistrate Moore announced
that he would fix the peace bond at
$3.50,
The peace bond binds the Single
tary woman from injurying .hei
child, LOttie Bradham, or any one
else, against whom she had recent
~ made threats when arrested and
placed in Jail. The woman had made
threats against her own child, when
she was informed that the child had
sworn out a warrant against her.
The evidence was to the effect tha
the woman had beat her child un.
mercifully on Tuesday afternoon
when She had brought her back from
,Bishopville, where the child had been
locked up i'm Jail for some offense not
brought out in the hearing, and which
the woman stated the child refused t.
tell her, and that she had afterwards
made threats against the child, If the
child ran away again. The States at
torney contended that the bond should
,be fixed at $1,000. while the attorney
for the defense asked that the peace
bond be fixed at smaller amount
The magistrate split the difference ant
made it $3.50.
Yesterday, after paying the fine o.
$50 imposed on her by the recorde.
,or disorderly conduct cash bond OF
$3.50 was put up for the woman's ap
pearance in court on the triple
charges against her, $225 for assault
