El~ more Martin, sheriff of Charleston (j for nearly 24 years, died this morning at his residence, after an illness of several weeks. He was in his 's G3rd year. The end came at 9:30 n' o'clock, and his death caused a profound shock to this community, for p while it was realized that he was seriously ill, he had recently shown ^ signs of improvement that led to the hope he would recover. His condition ~ became rapidly worse yesterday af' ternoon, and his physicians last night ? declared he could live only a few , hours. At his "bedside were all mem bers of.Jiis family, excepting Vincent [ Maitirt, his youngest son, a Clemson cadet now at Camp Knox, Kentucky. It is likely that the funeral will not 0 be held until after his arrival. Few men were better known in this state than Sheriff Martin. For , nearly forty years he had been prominent in public life, and numbered his friends by the thousands, not only in v this city and county, but throughout the state. Born in Allendale rj May 30, 1859, he moved to Charlcs' ton in 1881 to engage in business. ) He first entered public life in 1891, v when elected an alderman from 'J Ward 8, and the next year was appointed chief of police by Mayor Ficken. When the metropolitan po7 lice system was put on here Captain ^ Martin was appointed marshal, and ^ served successfully and with much t tact. In 1897 he was appointed sheriff by Governor Ellerbe to fill out' the 0 unexpired term of Sheriff Hugh Fer^ guson, who died. He held the office 11 of sheriff continuously to the time n of his death, being 'elected and re-* elected five "times. His final re-elecN tion in ..920, found him without op^ position for the first time, and this indorsement was a source of great y satisfaction to him. Captain Martin ^ was a life long friend of the late | Senator Tillman, and took a special interest in Clemson collegej having 9 served on the board of visitors for a considerable time. 'He was a mem" ber of many organizations here, heing a Mason, Shriner, Pythian, Elk and Odd Fellow among other frater ; | nai amuations. ~ I Long a member and vestryman, of St. Paul's Episcopal church, it is presumed that the funeral will be held a there, with the rector, the Rev. Mercer P. Logan, officiating. Captiap Mfirtin yvas twice njarriejl, y ind Mfc oiicmnd -w if sngvwuA with twpr sons and three daughters. While Captain Martin was long A. poj litical leader in this county, and the center in many campaigns of strenuous activity, he numbered as his j friends not only those supporting "him t'_ but many in the ranks of oppos_ ing factions, as his genial personality and sterling traits of character were powerful factors of his popularity. . There is wide regret felt at his passe W * states reason ?- for dissatisfaction! 1. Washington, July 15.?W. E. Huts' chison, a miner from Mingo, W.

The viewpoint of the American govemmcnt is that a solution of Far Eastern questions is a necessary accompaniment to any disarmament program. This develops the first hitch?if a hitch it turns out to be?in President Harding's plan to remove the causes for heavy armaments and then reduce the armaments themselves. American officials, however, are optimistic that a way will he found for a satisfactory conference to which Japan will be a party and for a program of armament reduction acceptable to all. The Japanese reply to the preliminary question of whether she would receive an invitation to such a conference came to the state department today through the American embassy at Tokyo. Its text was not made public and department officials decline to reveal its contents except to say that it expressed approval of the disarmament discussion but did not agree to a consideration of the Pacific problems. During the day, however,* it became known that the altitude of the Japanese government was known to the government here. This attitude is that the disarmament question is a vast one in itself and if other questions are introduced into the' field of discussion the conference may be so broadened as to endanger its success. Japanese officials arc said to feel this to be particularly true if the questions so introduced are to affect the delicate balance of diplomatic relations in the Orient. There is manifest in Tokyo a belief that such a debate might open up a Pandora's box of troublesome diplomatic intricacies which would set for Mr. Harding's conference a task of readjustment even greater than that attempted by 'he peace conference of Versailles. The alternative, in the belief of Japanese statesmen, would be to agree before hand on exactly what questions will form the subject matter of the discussions. To this- is opposed the opinion of Atvierjfcaii officials that if all the nations nrs^sgxee to come into the conference whatever limitation appeared advisable coiild be fixed by Lgfinewil assent afterward. | of the president and his advisers did not appear tonight. China having accepted the invitation unconditionally during the (lay, however, all of the invited powers were on record as agreeing at least to discuss disarmament. and it was the apparent purpose of the state department to regard the assembling of the meeting as assured, and to proceed in due course to issue notes of invitation in j more formal character. SPECIAL COURT WILL TRY NEGRO Greenville, July 11.?A special term of the Greenwood county court <>f general sessions to convene August 15 was ordered today by Gov. Robert A.
