This means a life term j. in the penitentiary, unless he is granted a new trial. This makes four convictions of manslavers in the Greenville court ( so far during this term of the court and not a single acquittal. ChatGn, and Williams who was convicted without recommendation to mercy, both seem to have been men of some prominence.? . j If juries throughout the State were as fearless and impartial in ^ the discharge of duty as the jury ^ at the present term of the Creenville court seems to be it would G soon end the reckless taking of . human life now so common iu the t State. c Lived Almost a Century. c _ f Special to The State. 1 t Winnsboro, Nov. 27-?Maj.

Aiuniuui cvi H? UC5 UJi Hfi i ho original decree excoinmuni-1 ating those who did not resign rom such orders and organiza-! ions. It nullifies the drasti" I , < lecreo of seven years ago and it s claimed will reconcile hundreds >f Roman Catholics to the church vho were banned because of their , initiation with the Free Masons, j Among many Roman Catholics) he decree means another triumph or the liberal school of American Catholicism, in that the Italian j lories who have hitherto con-j rolled atlairs in the Vatican have it least recognized a different coalition in tin* church in the West in Hemisphere than obtains in he Continent of Kuropo.
