HARD FOUGHT TRIAL.
Elijah Douglass and His Son Con.
victed at Oranseburg.

Orangeburg, May 11.-Elijah
Douglass and his son, Otis Douglass,
were convicted here Saturday after
noon, Elijah Douglass 3eing convict
ed of murder with recommendation
to mercy, and Otis Douglass being
convicted of manslaughter. The case
lasted nearly three days, and was one
of the hardest fought murder cases
ever witnessed at the local court
house. Each day large crowd was
present, as the parties each had large
family connections in the western
section of the county. VIM. G. Wolfe,
leading counsel for the defense, gave
notice of motion for new trial next
week, and sentence upon the two de-
PENDANTS was postponed until then.
1t will be remembered that the
killing of Fuller Sandford was the
cause of the trial. The testimony
showed that there was plot to steal
the 16-year-old daughter Of Elijah
Douglass to marry one Belton Gar
rick. On last Christmas Eve night,
the girl in company with several of
her friends, attempted to escape from
her fathers house, and Eden Doug
lass, the 16-year-o1d daughter of
Elijah Douglass, was met at a ditch
by Mr.. Fuller Sandford, now de-
ceased. Otis Douglass and Elijah
Douglass followed. Otis Douglass
and Fuller Sandford got in fight in
an oat patch, and in a few minutes
Elijah Douglass came up, and in the
fight, Elijah Douglass shot Sanford
three times and killed him.

Branchville, May 9.-The farmers
are having to work hard and fast
now. The crops were held back on
account of the cool snaps a few weeks
ago, and now with this warm weather
the grass is growing fast. If much
rain comes in the next few weeks
they will have hard time to over
come the grass. A good reduction in
cotton acreage is being made in this
section.
The fire which recently destroyed
the Southern railway depot was de-
tected about o'clock and had gained
such a. good headway that it was only
possible to keep it from spreading.

best. Whenever they would see a
basket of biscuits they would all want
one as they said they had not seen
one since they left home.
