all the members were reelected
without change. Joseph M. Rey-

Wilmer c. Stats, tenant on
the Liston Farm in Blackbird
Hundred, is in serious condition
at his home as result of injur-

last week acquitted by a jury at
the session of the Kent County
Levy Court now being held.
When his case was called up,
Downs asked the privilege of
pleading his own case. This
unique procedure was made the
occasion for more amusement
than the real seriousness of the
charge.
