Wednesday, May 6. 1908, Did you get a piece of hemp? It seems that Bryan is safe in South Carolina. Didn't Sheriff Corley do 'em up brown. The murderers of Mrs. Eilisor got it in the "neck." . Capt. John G. Capers wears the belt?he knocked a negro off the plat form at the Republican convention in Columbia last week. ' The legal execution of the Toland brothers was another victory for de* cency, law and order in South Caro^na* ______ That Lexington county has one of the best and most popular sheriffs in the United States was very significant * at the hanging here on Friday. Many congratulations were showered upon him from every side for the brave and manly manner in which he carried out the sentence of .the court. Mr. Huggins, a prominent attorney from Chicago, was present during the execution. He 9poke in the highest praise of Sheriff* Corley, saying that he had been in many parts of the United States and he had never seen a sheriff that commanded so much respect and attention as did Sheriff Corley. Such expressions as these are calculated to "swell" the head of ourjsheriff, but he is wearing the laurels with the same grace and dignity which are so characteristic of the manly man that he is. The County Convention. - * X n X ? T\ r.i-Z ? Xne JUexiUgLUJi CAJUUty JL/emuurauiu Convention met in the court house here Monday with a full delegation, nearly every club in the county being represented. The convention was composed of the most intelligent men in the county?men who carry democracy oil their faces. In fact, it was the finest delegation of represen- j tative gentlemen the county ha9 ever known. We regret that space will not permit our publishing the full roll. The meeting was called to order by County Chairman C. M. Efird, who stated the object of the meeting. The convention was organized by electing Dr. E. J. Etheredge, of Leesville, chairman; Mr. F. H. Hendrix, of Leesville, and Ja9. B. Addy, of Peak, secretaries. On motion of Mr. Sharpe Laird's Old Mill was changed to Pool's Mill. Centre club, which was organized out of a part of Boylston, wanted to be admitted. There was a storm of objection to this move, the opponents claiming that it would establish a bad precedent?one that would be felt for generations to come. After much discussion the proposition was de icaucu* Dr. W. H. Timmerman, of Batesburg, introduced the following resolution endorsing Bryan for President, which was adopted: s 'Whereas, Hon. William Jennings Bryan has demonstrated his ability as a leader and democratic endeayor in thi9 country, and is in every way capable to represent this great country in the office of President; and Whereas, he is a man of exalted, political and private virtue; therefore Be it resolved by the Lexington County Democratic convention, that they heartily endorse the Hon. William Jennings Bryan for nomination by the National Democratic convention for the office of President of the United States." Mr. L. Bennett Frick, from Piney Woods, offered the following resolution, which was adopted without a dissenting vote: "Whereas, the General Ajsembly, At its last session, appropriated so much money that an increased levy of one-half mill is insufficient to meet them, and there will still be a considerable deficit; Resolved) that we deplore extravagance in appropriations, and we recommend to the Democratic voters of the oounty to support for the General Assembly men who will endeavor to ourtail these appropriations." A resolution/ introduced by Rev. Joab Edwards, relative to holding political meetings at St. John's church, was referred to the executive committee, * - The nextr.business before the convention waa the election of delegates to the State convention which meets in Columbia on Wednesday, the 20th of May.
