Wilson presiding, o caes of general Intereet have ts we been heard nor are any likely to be. The large ma jority of the defendants, as is always the case, are negroes. , There have been an unusual number of pleas of guilty, ., the negroea having learned that it Is much cheaper to plead guilty than to employ lawyers, have the charge proven and then have sentence passed. As an Instance of this, two pairs, of able bodied negro men were arraigned on the charge of cow-steal ing and plead guilty. One pair stole a cow said to haveNbeen worth 328 and was sentenced to one year each on the chalngahg, iwhile another pair on the same plea got (two years each. In the. first case there" were mitigat ing circumstances familiar to Solicit or Henry and at his request they were given the minimum.. It is safe ito say that had the negroes not plead guilty they would have received sentences ranging from three to five years. Monday a one-armed white man who gave his name as I. F. Qulil man and who stated that he was a cotton mill operative and a native of Rowan county, N. C, was convicted on the charge of stealing 325 from a negro living on the farm of Congress man Flnley, near Rock Hill, and sen tenced to serve five years. - Quillman stopped at tka negro'a house and aske to be allowed to remain for the night. The request wan reluotantly granted, but after it was granted the negro and his wife extended every hospi tality in their power, including (the preparation of supper. The guest was shown to a room at bed time and left there -by the hojjt. Between 11 and 12 o'clock the door leading out side was heard to open and close and the (tjegro at once began (to Investigate and discovered that the guest of the 325 in bills that were known to have been in the room at the time, he re tired; were missing. A day or' 4 wo later Quillman was arrested by the chief of police at Blacksburg, who searched him and found 33. The pris oner was bseught o Torkvllle, where the , sheriff again searched him and $20 were discovered in the lining of his coat sleeve. Wednesday , Policeman (Miller, of Rock 'Hill, was tried on he charge of murdering a negro At that place some time ago whtle In the discharge of his duty, A reasonably strong case of self-defense was. made out and the accused was acquitted. ' Wednesday afternoon the case of Alec Maesey, a negro, (charged with he murder of Robert Davidson, another negro, on the 13th of November, was taken up. The taking of the testimony was completed; and the speeches of the lawyers made, the court remaining in session until t o'clock' p., in. for this ourc-ose.
