This action of the judge met the ap proval f the entire court .and of all ho were interested. Their greatest crimp, the court pronounced, was es caping from the navy. Accompanied by 1 deputy, and clad in .clean, warnv garments secured for them by a kind lady of this place, and.with boxes of food, contributed by the ' same lady, they were returned to the commandant at Hampton Roads, with a plea for clemency for their 1 offense. progressed, the deputy WARRANTS, OF CORONER .

Coroner Smith." deputy. tuo This was all that two men. it is stated that the pallor of Mr. Bigham's face increased as the ,CU1"6 01 me warrants He was quite pale when turned to leave. . Until the coroner's warrants were served on Bigham he had been held in tE J ; "na,er a warrant taken by , John McCracken. the father of the two dead children. It was at first decided to stay service of the coroner's war rants until the accused man should make application for bail, and then, in ; the event that he should secure his freedom, again arrest him under the several charges of the coroner's jury. The effect of this would be to largely increase the amount of Taond which Bigham would have to furnish. It is stated authoritatively that Mr. Bigham so far had not arranged to se cure legal representation and there fore had made no application for bail. He has had conferences with Solicitor J. Monroe Spears of Darlington, and with C. T. Graydon, Esq.. of Columbia, and correspondence with former Gov ernor Cole L. Blease, with respect to their acting as his counsel. Mr. Gray down is said to be a law partner of Mr Blease and he visited Bigham at the jail recently. When the case will ' be called is of course undetermined as' yet. The next term of Wie criminal court will be held in Florence beginning March 21. Mrs. P. A.

While coasting uuwn a. mu at .Bingham school during the recent snow Phillip was severely injured when a broken sled runner pierced his abdomen. When the malady of one of the negro prisoners at the. Florence county jail was pronounced smallpox, there was consternation and dismay among the inmates of the institution as well as among the officials. The negro' was quickly turned over to "the health au thorities of the city and was removed to the pest house as fast as the auto mobile could carry him.

Forces at work to force the abandonment of Lucknow iquare as a public cotton market land its conversion into, a park, struck a snag when the town council yesterday rescinded its order permitting the Woman's club to take over the prop erty and gave the Atlantic Coast Lin, two weeks in which to decide what action it will take relative to the mat ter. A special meeting of the council was called to hear the complaint of Superintendent Porter, of the railway company, who contended that his" prin cipals had a right to be heard in the Batter. It Is believed here that this action sounds the death knell for the project. The railway company has claimed the property involved for years. Origi nally it was owned Ty the railway," but back in -S6 Colonel Bridgers, then president of the Coast Line, conducted sale of railway property here. Then, according to James A. Taylor, one of the town's original business men, he stated that what is now known as Lucknow square would be given to the public and dedicated to the sale of eountry produce. It covers a space 1J0 by 60fl feet on the west side of the railroad yards and its estimated value 8 in excess of $100,000. MOUNT AIRY. Feb. 10.
