were arrested last week on the Charge of I,
whlippiln two negroes on the Singleton a

sum of 935 each, to appear at the next

persons were herb before the justice's i
Scourt it was really amusing to see the I
politlciats come around there and make
funny r.larkn to those people, in ich a
I tome as to try and gain t: eir esteem;
they waitedl to futrnish all the bonds,
and would havP willingly given thetn all
the help atnd amlistance in their
Iower. The peoIple have a grand old
time when politics is waxing hot, but
Swe are in the doubt if it is really for the

their ballets which they expect to have
