A Midnight Max
About fifteen minutes past twelve

seen bursting forth from the one
story frame bnilding in the rear of
Hartnett A Malone’s, and fronting on
Solomon street, one side being oecu

house and the other side as a color¬

The fire soon communicated itself to

plantation ofB. S.Cote, near
! thto county, between 8. G. Hunt and
a negro named Monroe Ponder, in
which the latter was killed. Foroner
Latto was speedily on the and
impanneBad a jury, which found a
verdict of justifiable homicide after
hearing what evidences was submit¬
ted. Following is the evidence:
J. M. Willis testified as follows: I
know Monroe Ponder; he to lying
out three dead—has been lying there
since half past six o’clock. 8. G.
Hunt shot him with a pistol, I sup-
pone a smith A Wesson. He was
about twelve feet from Monroe when
he shot first. Hunt shot five rimes
in the gin house and once on the
ground. Monroe staggered and fell
from the steps into the road. Hunt
walked off home alter shooting the
last time. Monroe and Mr. Hunt went
in the gin bouse, and Mr. HuntaBked
Monroe something about what he
had been Saying about bira. Mr.
Hoot told Monroe that Mr. Willto
could tell Mm. Willis said to Mon¬
roe, “Yon know what you told me,”
Monroe said to Hunt “Yon did say
it.” Hvnt said “Yon are a liar.”
Monroe said “You are another.”
About that time Monroe put his
hands on a pair of balances. He did
riot have to stoop to get the bal-
About tjbat balances time the firing
commenced. The were af¬
terward lying three and a half or
four feet towards where Mr. Hunt
was standing.
C. 1 B. Clark testified: I and
■fHaroe Mi were going to the gin
house after our cotton sacks and Mr.
Hunt asked Monroe what that was
he had been telling. Monroe said “Jem
can tell you.” Jem said‘‘Yon know
Monroe said “Yon said it” Mr.
Hunt said “You are a liar, sir.
Monroe said “You are another.” As
soon as he said Jhat Mr. Hunt ran
his left hand in his pocket and got
hto pistol and commenced shooting
at him. Monroe was leaning against
the gin when Hunt commenced
shooting, at the second shot Monroe
fell. After rolled to the ground Hunt
put the pistol.to his head and snap-
ed it. Them Hunt went on down the
road snapping his pistol. After
Monroe fell to the ground he rolled
all around for a minute or two and
died.
J. M. Willis, recalled: Monroe was
near the door when he was asked the
question, but went on till he got to
the balances.
The fury returned the following

pistol shot wound in the hands of S.
G. Hunt. We furthermore pronounce
the same justifiable homicide.

three varieties, the names of which

it is unusual to see them attain such

that Mr. Wm. Warder exhibits three
bunches of grapes—the Martha and
two bunches of the Pocklington, one
ripened in open air, the other which
he attempted to ripen in sacks, but
which he has failed to do, showing
that this grape cannot be successful¬
