Wilson Presiding ONE MURDER CASE The March term of court of General Sessions for Greenville county will convene in this city on Monday, March 11th, for a two weeks' term. Judge John S.

Wilson, of Manning, will preside. The court will probably be held in the federal courtroom, as Clerk of Court Harry A. Dargan yesterday gave it as his opinion that the court-room in the new county court house will not be finished in time to accommodate the coming term. Mary Sullivan, a negro woman, will be the only person to face a charge of murder at this term of court, ii will be remembered that she slew another colored woman in a dance hall in this city" several nights ago. The number of defendants in jail awaiting trial is small compared to the number which are usually there just before the convening of criminal court.

The list of jail cases prepared yesterday by Jailer Neely shows that only ten persons are now in his custody awaiting trial. One of these, a negro named Charlie Hanson, was said by the jailer to have been confined since last October, the charge against him being breach of trust, and that he had never been given a preliminary hearing. Two terms of court have been, held since he was put in jail. There are a number, of persons who will be tried at this term who have been released on bond following preliminaries held before magistrates. This is especially true with regard to those charged with violation of the liquor law.

There are a number of these and not one is now in jail. 'Following is a list prepared by the jailer: J. B. Allums, housebreaking and larceny. Roy Ballaed, arson.

Charlie Hanson, breach of trust. Irvin Westfield, assault. B. Tolen, assault. J.

K. Black, grand larceny. eorge Walker, rape. Sylvester Alexander, housebreaking' and larceny. Broadus Williams, using property without-owner's consent Mary Sullivan, murder.

STARTS AGTIV1Y Enthusiastic Meeting Of Loc: Chapter Was Held Last Night OFFICERS ELECTED An enthusiastic meeting of the Greenville Automobile Club of the South Carolina. Automobile Associa tion was held in the Chamber of Commerce last night, and despite the paucity of the audience, plans were made for much active work by the local chapter for the remainder of this year. A. B. Carter was re-elect ed president; B.

E. Geer, vice-. president; J. Eppes, second vice- president; O. P.

Mills, treasurer: and C. W. Cofield, secretary. Mr. Colield, secretary of the statt organization, made a talk on the work of the association, and what it will accomplish if it can secure the co-operauon oi xne people oi ureen-ville and South Carolina.

He explained that since Greenville is the headquarters of the state organiza tion it will, be up to the local club to set the example for the rest of the state in the way of maintaining the livest, most active and progressive club possible. The state association is fast becoming organized by the work of the efficient fiel secretaries now at work. The territory has been divided into ten sections and a permanent secretary will be assigned to each division to look after the interest of and to promote the associational work la ttose districts. The question that most people ask when the subject of the automobile association is brought to them, sait Mr. Cofield, is what does the association aocomplish.

Here are some of the things that they obtain with membership: Affiliation with the American' Automobile Association, which has something like 400,000 members in the United States and has done aggressive work all over the country in the interest of good roads. One year's subscription to The American Motorist, the official magazine of the association. An insignia of the association to be attached to the radiator of the car and which will place members on brotherhood when in trouble on the highways. The South Carolina Association has as a supreme object the establishment of. good roads throughout the state, the protection of automobiles, the influence of passing of legislation favorable to owners.

A log-book of all the roads In the state will be made shortly and will be distributed to all members of the organization. Speaks At Ashcvllle C. W. Cof)eld, secretary of the as-soclatoin, has accepted an invitation tendered by the Asheville Board of Trade to attend a meeting there In the near future in the interest of securing the Dixie Highway via Knoxville, Asheville, Greenville and Savannah. This is only' one of the many things that the local association is lending Its co-operation toward securing.

ENGINEERS TO GO ON IE IS Li. Regiment Of Engineers Have Spent Week Building Bridges Around Camp NEW WORK NEXT WEEK A seven or eight mile hike will occupy the entire engineer regiment and train this morning, the whole outfit going out from their camp at an early hour and returning in time for dinner, as the men have Saturday afternoon off. During the week the engineers have been busy with the thousand and one things which they must know how to do. They have thrown bridges over all the ravines near their camp, and have also been busy at pontoon bridge making in a nearby pond. Beside that, they have been helping the infantry in the entrench-ed area, where much time is now being devoted to the construction of dugouts, observation posts, saps, etc.

They have also been doing much mining work around their own camp. Next week an entirely new activity, railroad construction, will be com-j- enced. Beside practicing at grading and such work about the camp, it is probably that gangs will be sent to work on the Southern a.id Greenville Western railways. These' gang3 will do work both in the yards and actually out on the road.

When the depot brigade was dismembered some months ago and its personnel distributed among the remaining units of the division, many of the and non-commissioned officers were permanently ass'gned to various of these units as vacancies existed, while since that time there have been others who have been either assigned to duty here or sent elsewhere. There are still a number of officers, however, from the defunct organization who are merely attached eher. The depot brigade was composed of the Second Tennessee Infantry, less the machine gun company; the second and third battal-i ns of the First North Carolina In fantry; and the third battalion of the becona south Carolina Infantry.
