when Sumpter county was first set
tled a man named Ballard lived
somewhere in the swamps of the
Muckalee with his wife. In those
days the woods were full of wild
turkeys, nnd Ballard conceived an
idea that he would capture a big
lot of them and sqll them in Ma
lle built a large turkey pen
and covered it over, leaving a
trench for the fowls to enffcr in,
baited it with corn and went
home. IVo or three days after
he went to the pen and found it
full of big, fat turkeys, probably
thirty or forty'. Ballard was
afraid to. loosen the pen to get
them put, so he'went hom 2, get a
rope and his wife to assist him,
and-returned for his birds. When
he got to the pen he crawled in at
the trench where the turkeys had
entered, after tying one end of the
rope around his body, and tied
each one of the turkeys by the feet
with the other part of the rope.
He then bade lift wife to remove
the top of the pen, and strugled
out. As soon as the turkeys found
they could expand their wings
they began to flutter and fly, and
soon Ballard was as high as the
trees, yelling in -fright to his
wife to save him. The poor‘wo
man wrung her hands and fol
lowed as the scared birds mounted
higher and got swifter in their
flight. She soon lost sight of her
husband, and as he has never
more been heard of, she-bundled
up and returned to her jieople in
North Carolina. lie says that
this is a true -statement of the
captives capturing their captor,
but he don’t know what become of
Ballard.

The preliminary in
the case of W. E. Sutton charg
ed with killing Robert Mallory
a short time ago, at Brunswick;
was commenced Tuesday, before
Justice Lanibright and. Daven
port. Among the witnesses ex
amined for the defense iu the
Sutton-Maliory case was a white
man from up the railroad named
Thomblin, who was a witness to
the killing. Whilst 011 the
stand he exposed to view his
hip pocket containing a pistol.
No sooner had constable Driver
caught sight*of it than he call

officer Leavy had served him
with a warrant for ‘‘carrying
concealed weapons'.” He was
released on bail.
