THE COMMITMENT TRIAL. Hadaway is Cammitted to Jail With¬ out Bail. The com mitmrnt trial of John T. Hailsway iur killing Frank Wilting , bain on last Monday afternoon at Sunny Side, took place yesterday at | the court house, before fits honor; Judge W. G. Becks, The trial begun about 9 o’clock a. m. Judge J. D. Stewart and Robert Daniel represen led the prosecution and Col. E. W. Hammond appeared for the defense. After till the witnesses had been sworn Obas. G. Morris was appoint ed In tike down iheir evidence. From the temimouy of (lie witness es it appears that it was not auch a strong case of self defense as it was at first supposed. Hadaway had loaned Willingham bis wagon nod when he failed to return it at the time agreed upon he went down to where Willingham was and began cursing the negroes who were unload ing the seed fiom the wagon. He then demanded the wagon from Wil lingharn, who told him he would have to bring bis shot gun down to get it before bo got through with it, 1 With that be palled his knife from j his pocket, but made no attempt to I cut Hadaway. Seeing him take bis j knife from bis pocket, Hadaway ■ reached back to draw bis pistol, but had not got it in front of him j before WilUngham bad jump j ed upon him and attempt | ed to snatch it from bis band, j Ju*t before be did this, however, be ; threw bis knife away from him. In i the scuffle they fell and tbe pistol i fired. A negro came op about this j tirno aud took tbe pistol and soon af i terwards Willingham died. These j men bad a difficulty sometime before I this which resulted in Willingham’s j striking Hadaway on the head with a , rock and knocking him senseless for several minutes. They had made i friends after this, hnt Hadaway i Reems to have Lad a grudge against j ! him about it, After all the evidence had been given in Gol. Hammond arose and made a pointed argument for the defense. He was follow ed hv Judge Stewart, who made a brilliant and forcible speech of about 30 minutes duration. Then C#l. Daniel took the floor and made a most eloquent argument for the pros ecution. When he concluded his speech which, it need hardly be add ed, won him many compliments from those assembled, Col. Hammond arose to make his closing arguments- His speech from tbe beginning was spiced with those little witicism* for which he is so remarkable. He soon grew eloquent, however, and for sev oral minutes held tbe audience as if spellbound. After tbe argnment had been finished Judge Beeks saw prop er to commit the prisoner to jail without bail to answer to the charge of murder. OUR COTTON REPORT. The Best Season that Griffin Has Seen for Seven Years. Colion continues lo pour into this market without any perceptible dirni nation in quantity. Alleged buyers in neighboring towns fail to under stand how more can be paid here than in any other market in tho State; but tho farmers accept tho fact without questioning the cause, and continue to roll in the halos. Eighty six bales came in one lot from Mori wether to one warehouse hero early yesterday, with eighteen more to fol low. On Friday night the late way farer saw cotton standing in the bright moonlight in front of the warehouses, waiting for tLie doors to open. Prices have ruled higher this seas on than for mauy years past, and the small frroier is receiving all the benefit, H« can not afford to held for a rise, but gets a better price all things considered than those who wait. The amount of moisture in tbe new cotton gives an advantage of soar eral pounds over that which is held for several months. The general opinion here, with a few dissenting voices among those iu the business, is that prices will not run up much after the crop has been maiketed, as they usually do. Right around Grif fin and out on tbe river tine crops baye been made, although tbe acre age td this whole immediate section not high. But iu the whole belt j increased acreage will more than make up for any falling off and the | whole crop will be as large at-, if , larger than, that of last yrar.
