THE PICKENS SE NIEJO Entored April 23, 1903 at PickeuR, S. C., as second olass matter, under act of Congress of March 8, 1879 xOL XXXV PICKENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JULY .12 905 The Case of Stiles Moore. At the hour of going to. prosi last Thursday, the case of ths State vs- Stiles Moore, charge< with rape, had just been opened and no account could be given of i last week. 1 'wovor, on account of thesick niess of Mr, E. L. LHerendon, on1 of the attorneys forthe dotense, to ease (lid not pro~ced very fm in detail brfore tho court adjourn ed until Friday morning at i o'elock. At that hour court con. vened; at 11:15 a. m. the testimo ny was all in and E. L. Herneon Eeq. opened tho argument fjr the defense. Speeches were also made 11y Senator J. R Earle and Major Win. J. Stribling, and at 4 :55 So, licitor J. E. Boggs closed tUe argil. m1lolt for th StaIto. Hie Honor, Jldge George E. Prince then charged tl jury up)n, every point of Ihe law totiching ip on the case, and the jury retired to their roin. After being out all night, ati an early hour Saturday miornllfg they announiced that the following vordit had been reach ed : "'Guilty of rape with carnal knowledge of a female child under 14 yeais aid over 10 years of ago, vith recominondation to the mercy of.the Court." Coisequontly the punishment would naturally be light, and Judge) Prince imfl podsed a son t enee of .1.4 ) ei rs at hard I aboi in the Stato Peniteitiary. The1 criio tor which Stiles Moore was charged was one of the most heinous and revolting ever recorded for trial it the grand old State of South Carolian. A more child, with neither fath er nor motLer, and so far as we know, no other relativeH to lovo and care for, to direct and lead in tho pathe of right and virtue, has been subjeCted to the iost cruel treatmient by one who, above all else, shotild havo giie. -hor that fatherly love, affection, care and guidance that is duo from . Lim who has h'ug ht sIame Ind disgraco, to say nothing of the imlisery and suffering throtigh which she had to pass. As Sallie Tilly, the child mother came into the court room Monday moriing, attired in a neat, but plain dress scarcely below her kneos, with her hair flowing loose ly aolut her shoulders and hack, with the infant habe in hor arms, she presented a picttire that was calculated to incite the symnpathiies oft t he en ti ro audienlce pr-esent, iand to i nlcrtlnst their indignat ion forw the man whoe had caus~ed her to he p)laed~( in a~ pobsitionl of helpless nless, even monre so) than beofore tie crime wais commut11 ed. .

Dt-ar Editor: I noticed in your Wast paper where the dispensary question was to be carried to the Supreme court. it seems to inc from Mr. Evans' statement that a few people in and around Pickens thmnk that they have a cinch on Pickens county and will run things to suit themselves rogardless of thle voice of the people. From what Mr. Evans says some one has misrepresented things. I do not understand howv ally citi can uphold a thing lhke thle d isp;'usary whlen it is voted ouit by such ama *j0ri ty, e. enI if' I here wer.e a few nlamfes 0on the l ist t hat were i lle gal ,It seemsII to mo1( that the voters ougt to be res'pected. I am sure that m1 thet town, of P'ickens, as elsewhere in, till county there were someO 1s good mlen) against the dlispenlsary as were for it and about two to one. I believe that voters of Pickens know what they were doing, anid I consider the steps taken by those few men na unwise indeed. Thue merchlaIts can taflk for the mountain people as they call them~i if they wvish and misroprosent things as much as they please, but they had better stcep and consider as they are liable to be gladl to get corn at any p)rice.
