J. P. BROWNING CONVICTED. I Jury Recommended Mercy Wliich! Carried Life Sentence. Orangeburg, Sept. 20.?James P. Browning was found guilty of murder with a recommendation to mercy for the killing of Laurie Fairey in Branchville, last June. The jury debated for several hours before finding a verdict. Browning was sentenced by Judge 4 Hayne F. Rice to serve the balance of his natural life at such labor as he can perform on the public works of the county, or a like period in the State penitentiary. The prisoner was asked if he had any preference as to which place he would be sent and replied that he would rather go to the chain gang in the county. The prisoner was cool and collected during the entire trial, and the 1 ? ?.Vint VlO TTTQ O fooll'lKT tl 15 omy SJ' LLipLUJJJL tuai 11c ?uo ivwiuD u.?; ordeal was the paleness of his face as he went into the #dock to receive his sentence. Sitting just in fro:., of him when he was sentenced was his wife, who has been with him continuously during the trial. She was*in tears as sentence was pronounced. A motion was made for a new trial by Mr. Joseph A. Berry, of counsel for the defense. He made the usual appeal for a new trial, saying that the court had authority to set aside the verdict if it was not thought just and he would like to have him express himself, as he had heard all ' the evidence and was familiar with , the case. Judge Rice did not comment on the case at length, but said that he thought the verdict was a "just and " righteous verdict," and that the jury ? fohnd it an unpleasant task to bring in the sentence that.it did, but it was a duty that could not be shirked. He said that the defendant had been ably represented, and he had shown him every consideration he possibly could in the admission of testimony. * m ?

HOMICIDE FOLLOWS DISPUTE. B. A. Bennett Instantly Killed by Henry Linder. Walterboro, Sept. 21.?B. A. Bennett, a large farmer and business man of Weeks postoffice, located about ten miles from Walterboro, was shot and killed by Henry Linder in Linder's home about 10 o'clock Friday night. The cause of the shooting was a dispute over some cotton sheets. It appears that Bennett and Linder had brought some cotton to Walterboro Friday wbich was ginned and sold. Some dispute arose over the division of the proceeds, it being a share bale of cotton, Linder being a share cropper on Bennett's farm. This was adjusted. but it seems that wrhen they reached Mr. Linder's home they stop-1 ped and Mr. Linder attempted to get his cotton sheets out of the wagon. Mr. Bennett, it is said, replied that he had no cotton sheets and cursed Air. Linder and told him he could not only curse him but beat him. Mr. Linder went into his house to carry some bundles and Bennett followed with an old axe handle in his hand, Linder claims. Linder in the meantime had secured his gun and as Bennett entered the house shot him, the loadfe taking effect in the face, the entire lower part of the face being shot away. Death was instantaneous. Linder came to Walterboro at once and surrendered to the sheriff. The i body of Mr. Bennett was buried at Live Oak cemetery Saturday afternoon. Grear interest has been shown in this tragedy as both parties are well known. <?> m Costly Foreign Relations.

I SQUARE DEAL I wm?m?ami URGES RETURN" TO FARM. Appeal to Young Men Issued By Denmark Agent. Denmark, Sept. 13.?E. D. Jenkins, j demonstration agent here, is appeal- j ing to the young men of the State to j come back to the farm. He is evi- j dently in complete sympathy with the i position of Senator Dial, who told! the Senate the other day that the na- j tion's troubles are due in large meas- j ure to the fact that people are so i generally moving to the cities. A j portion of a printed call follows: "Now the war is over, a greater i demand is made upon the farmer to feed and clothe the world. The world still depends upon him, as has been shown in the past. His help is scarce and our young men fresh from the battlefields of France, and those who' have been discharged from our training camps at home, can prove themselves greater heroes and dependable patriots by furnishing this much needed help. It is a patriotic duty, and I want to appeal to you young stalwart, patriotic, country-loving men to come back to the farm and take your places in those great gaps and inroads 'made upon the farm by the war, and show your patriotism by rallying around our great agricultural flag." Drove Him Mad. f They took him to the sanitorium moaning feebly: "Thirty-nine, thirty-nine." "What does he mean by that?" the attendant inquired. "It's the number of buttons on the back of his wife's new frock," the family doctor explained. 1 IT IC CCDinilO ? II 10 OLHIUUU Some Bamberg People Fail to Realize the Seriousness of a Bad Back.
