Feather stone to die in the electric chair on November 21st. When court convened here on Mon day morning a long docket, contain ing many murder cases was before it. This case, the State vs. Mortimer N. King and -Frank Harrell was reached Tuesday morning, and before night had come all hope of mercy at the hands of the court had fled and the two unhappy men were facing the certainty of the extreme penalty. Since Monday morning Chester field lias been crowded as never be fore to witness a murder trial. An outstanding feature of the trial was the spontaneous sympathy every where in evidence when the" widow and sister of the late Major McLeary appeared. Sentiment wavered tij some extent concerning the defend ants, but the feeling seems to be general that the law has been, vindi cated and to some extent the tragedy atoned for. Attorney C. L. Prince, counsel for King made perhaps one of the strongest pleas for mercy in behalf of King that had ever been madnffor a prisoner at this bar in like circum stances. In strong, masterful lan guage he argued for life imprison ment for King. Perhaps the strong est part of his plea can be best said in his own words: "Appointed by the court to repre sent this man, without fear or favor hope of monetary reward, I come be fore you to beg for a human life, fhis, gentlemen, is a case of pre meditated Tobbery but not of pre meditated murder, though in this most unfortunate case, murder was done. It is unpardonable and I couM not come before you and ask that you find the defendant King not guilty. All I can hope or ask is that under these unfortunate circum stances, King is perhaps entitled t'> mercy. "If I could by turning on the juice that would send these men to their doom, bring back Major McLeary to his brave little widow who has my thorough sympathies, I'd turn it on. Rut, gentlemen of the jury, the ' deaths of these two men won't bring j back his life, just as two wrongs will 1 not make a right." Solicitor Spears for the State ther. addressed the jury.

STOKES NELLIE PORTER Sept. 2, 1024- 2S-2*-?V MONEY IN CRICKETS One Hoy is Said to il?ye Made ?10,?' 000 Out of Them.. Abbeville, Sept. 25 ? Seeking re laxation from the marked w tju? world of finance J. S. Stark, president of the Planters Hank, E. W. Gregory of the Abbeville Chamber of Com ment- and Dr. T. t. 1'avis went on a fishing trip to Augusta, On., some time ago only to rilrt into the most unique market in the world ? the cricket market. Crickets are used as nail by expert ii / 1 1 j nun over the country. They make the finest kind of bait because they are placed on the hook alive and are wiggling vigorously when the line is cast. The fish bite at them right away. The cricket market fluctuates like any other market and the price varies from one to three cents each accord ing to the supply and demand. There are cricket industries or farms in Au S^ista, Ga., where they are offered for sale. Here they are fed and watered and given green stuff and will live indefinitely in confinement-' if this is done. One young boy started into the cricket business there several years ago. He not only supplied th<? local market but shipped crickets to the fishermen of the North and it is said that he cleared $10,000 frotfi the in dustry in one year. When the busi ness reaches this proportion the cricket houses are made of fine gauze wire; but ordinarily each man carries around a cricket box with him. This box is made with one end covered with cloth. The cloth' has a hole in it, held tight with an elastic, through which the hand is run to bring out the crickets. Crickets are bought and sold on the open market in Augusta. The Abbeville fishermeu had to purchase fifty or sixty at three cents each, the top of the market, and are still re covering from the experience. The Travelers' Aid Society of New York reports that last year it cared for more than 850. women between the ages of seventy and eighty-eight. Most of these were women who had left home because of trouble with their family or because of a desire to live again as they did in their youth. TRESPASS NOTICE.
