MSTRIAL IN FOSTERS CASE.
Judge fixes Bail at $2O,OOO.-De-
fendant Denies knowledge of Case.

Spartanburg, June 1S.-On &C
count of the sudden illness of G. G..
McAbee, one of the jurors trying T.
E. Lanford, charged with the murder
of Glenn Foster, mistrial was Or
dered in the case. All of the testi-
mony was not in, and as counsel for
the defense gave notice that an ap-
plication for bail would be made,
court of general sessions recessed
and the remainder of the testimony
was heard ait chambers. The court
stated that it would be more salts
factory to hear all the testimony,
rather than have that which remain
ed submitted in the shape of afti-
davits. The defendant testified, hav-
ing given his record for the day Of
the tragedy. denying that he knew
anything about the crime or had any
part in it. After the testimony was
completed the court fixed bail at
$4,000 the court saying that when
he heard the argument of the state
that he felt that he case was not a
bailable offense, but after hearing
the arguments of the defense, he felt
that it was a bailable offense, and
the fact that there was a doubt in
= 70 l-a
it a bailable offense.
The court stated that it was not
within his sphere to pass upon the
guilt or innocence of the defendant,
that is the duty of twelve men. For
him to deny bail at this time might
make the impression that he believed
the defendant should be convicted,
which would amount to his trying the
case. In fixing bail he said that he
would make the amount sufficient to
deter any from thinking that the de-
fendant should be convicted and
named $4,000 as the amount.
t The question was raised when it
was announced that one Of the jurors
was i'll that the case might go on
by consent, but defendant counsel
stated that they were willing to go
on with the trial but did not believe
they had any right to do SO, as the
constitution called for twelve men to
try the case. and they did not believe
that right could be waived.

CANNON NEAR HARLEYVILLE.
Piece Bears Inscription "177S'-May
Have Commanded Bridge.

Harleyville, June .14.-Some days
ago a large cannon, bearing the in
scription ITS, was found in the
Four Holes Swamp, near Harleyville,
by workmen while making excava-
ton for road building.
The cannon and several balls Of
two different sizes were buried be-
meath an embankment near an old
bridge on the road from Charleston
to Columbia via Harleyville and was
pointed in the direction of the bridge.
The. year TITS" is inscribed on the
cannon, also other figures, etc.,
which are not clearly visible, owing
to the fact that it is very rusty, hav-
ing been buried so long.
Citizens Of the community are very
much interested in the discovery and
are anxious to know just why it was
left there, but have not yet succeed
ed in gaining the information.
It is interesting to note that this
cannon was found not far distant
from historic Eutaw Springs where
an important battle of the revolution
was fought in 1881.
1t was apparently placed near to
the bridge for the purpose of protect
ing the bridge.
Folks of Harleyville propose to
have this famous old gun cleaned
and placed in position near their
railroad depot or on the new con-
crete bridge which will span Four
Holes in this section.
The cannon is now in the yard of
H. H. Gross, of Harleyville, state
senator from Dorchester county.

When the American Federation Of

crcise of power by n minority just as
serious to the future OF our republic
