W. P. ROOF ACQUITTED
The trial of W. P. Roof indicted
for "obtaining goods under false
pretenses" which has been in progress
at Edgefield since Tuesday
morning resulted today in a verdict
of "not guilty."
This case was one of several grow- i
ng out of the bankruptcy of W. P.
Roof, a former merchant and banker
of Lexington alledging that he had
made certain statements as to the sol!
/ency of the Lexington Savings Bank j
that were not true and in this way
these parties were induced to make
deposits in the bank which were!
lost when the bank failed. The de-|
fense denied this and a hard legal
fight was put up by both sides, re?9

the case. It will be remembered that
this case with several others has been
pending in the courts several years
and a change of venue was asked for
and granted on the grounds that it!
was impossible to obtain an unbiased
jury in Lexington county, hence it
was carired to Edgefield. Roof was,
represented by G. T. Graham J. W. ?
Thurmon and Proctor A. Bonham.
The State was represented by Sell- j
ntor Timmerman, E. U. Shealy, E.;:
L. Asbill and S. McGowon Simpkins. j
rhe case was given to the jury this
norning and after remaininng in the
' J? i.
room 15 minutes returned a veraicx
af "not guilty."

POLITICS. . . I
United States Senator Benjamin
RyanTillman has prepared a statement
for release in Tuesday's papers
announcing his candidacy for re-election.
Information to this effect has
been received from absolutely reliable
sources.
Congressman A. Frank Lever, representative
from the Seventh congressional
district, is reported to have also
perpared a statement for release
Tuesday anonuncing his candidcy for
the Senate. This information, too,!
comes from a source that is believed
to be reliable.
These announcements will probably
inject some ginger into the political
situation. Up to this time there
has been a marked apathy towards
the campaign.
C, T,. Blease and N. B. Dial have
already announced that they will be
candidates this summer.
For governor there are five announced
candidates in the field, Lieu
tenant Governor A. J. Bethea, Robert
A Cooper, Railroad Commissioner
John G. Richards, W. A. Stuckey and
Attorney General Thomas H. Peeplesj
There have been rumors that there j
might be other :es in this race
An interesting nto.it is promised for
the position of railroad commisisoner
Among those who have anounced for
this position are former Representative
H. H.Arnold of Spartanburg,
former commissioner Banks L.
Caughman of Columbia, Senator C.
D.. Lee of Darlington, former Chief
Game Warden Alfred A. Richardson
of Columbia and others. It is under
stood that Albert S. Fant of Belton
is also considering making the race.
For lieutenant governor, Senator
John F. Williams of Aiken is the on
ly announced candidate, utners
who have been mentioned in connection
with the race are Senator J. H.
Padgett of Colleton, Senator j. L.
Sherard of Anderson and Ex-Senator
Howard Carlisle of Spartanburg
Dr. E. C. L. Adams of Columbia is
also understood to be considering
making the race again.
For attorney general, Claude N.
Sapp, at present assistant attorney
general, is an announced candidate.
R. P. Searson, member of the house
from Barnwell, is also a candidate.
In the event that Congressman
Lever runs for the senate there will
m ^ warm fnr his seat in con
?ress. A number of names have been j
nentioned in connection with the va-.
jancy should there be one.

treated me as good as they have him.
May they have a long and porsperous
life for the way they have treated
me in my trouble.
There has been a few of my neighbors
who have not come in to see me
though they are men that stand for
things that I don't stand for.
May the happiness of a well spent
life be yours my friends and the casket
counting those precious gems and
at last be wafted by those white
winged messengers of heaven to that
land bfvond the sunset.
Is the wish of a sincere friend.
