snake, though not so dark, and on the

sides of its belly are bronzo-red spots.The horn on the end of its tail is a

COUNTY SINGING. CONVENTION.

Met With Mountain View ChurchSaturday and Sunday.

The semi-annual sessions of thePickens County Singing convehtionheld at Mountain View church lastSaturday and Sunday were pronounc-ed by capable observers as beingabout the best in the convention's his-tory.

Saturday the attendance was notvery large, but the singing was un-usually good. Sunday the attendancewas unusually large and the singingin keeping with the audience. Theattendance Sunday was estimated bysome as low as one thousand and byothers as high as two thousand, peo-ple being there from every setion ofthe county.

Practically all of Pickens county'sprominent singers were present aswere singers from neighboring coun-ties. Then the Mountain View sec-tion is a singing community, beingfull of good si'ngers, among themsome of the very best in the wholecountry. And, take the scribe's wordfor it, they certainly made the songwave roll.Both Saturday and Sumnlay dinner

was served in picnic style and eachtime there was enough for all presentand more. The quantity and qualityof the cats was sufficient evidencethat prosprity and good cooks aboundin this community.b-Mountain View is a most appro-

priate name for this church. It sitsupon a high place and affords oneof the grandest views to be foundin this country.Every time we visit a section of

Pickens county new to us we think itis the best in the county and the bestpeople live there. It has happened somuch that we have just decided thatthe whole county is the best and thepeople can't be beat. Certainly Moun-tain View is a fine sectionm and thepeople are splendid.The next session of the convention

will be held with Enon church thefourth Sunday in April a-nd Saturdaybefore. A ?I.U

COURT CONVENGOSNELL CM

Court envened in Pickens Monday'with Judge R. Withers Merminger,Iof Charleston, presiding, and an extra jlarge number of people in attendance.Business begain it 10:0 .ith turn-

ing over to the grand jury of indict-

ments. Aftir the judge's charge to

the grand jury Solicitor Smoak call-

ed the Jake Gosnell case and thedefense announced that it was readyto proceed with the trial.

Though the Gosnell case is one of

the most important ever tried in

Pickens county and one of the harl-est fought, it required only fifty min-utes to select the jury which is com-

posed, of the following men: J. L.

Bagwell, D. F. Freeman, L. P. Steph-ens, F. A. Findley, Bennett H. Pow-

ers, C. C. Burroughs, S. B. Edens, B.

D. Lathem, B. H. Whitmire, GeorgeH. Reeves, Lawrence F. Smith, J. E.M. Steele.

Gosnell appeas very nervous at

times. His wife sits by him in the

prisoner's (locket. Many relativesof the late Sheriff Rector are also

interested aulitors.

Probably never before has an arfayof such brilliant legal counsel gather-ed in the Pickens.court house for onetrial as that engaged in the Gosrellcase. It is doubtful if a more bril-liant array has ever appeared in onetrial in the state, Representing Gos-nell are Dean, Cothran & Wyche,Martin & Blythe, of Greenville; Car-ey & Carey and Sam B. Craig, ofPickens. Mr. Dean is senior counseland conducting the case. SolicitorSmoak is being assisted in the pros-ecution by Donhain & Price and J.Robert Martin, of Greenville, and

. . Earle of Pickens.

The solicitor's job seems to agree Iwith Mr. Smjoak. lie is looking ex- cceedingly well and keeps things go- ying. During the ,Josnell trial hecontinuously wore a pair of greeneye shades.

Both the Greenville dlaily p)apers yhave staff correspondlents here coy-ering the Gosnell trial. Mr. Crowley,a new man on the News, is represent--ing .that paper and doing it well. Mr. eRion McKissick, editor of the Pied-mont, is here for his paper. Mr. Mc-Kissiek is not only one of our fore- imost edlitcrs, but is also a lawyerandl probably the best court reporter jin the state. floth Greenville papersare playing the trial up big.
