JONES REFUSED NEW TKJAL.
Union Uxoricido Sentenced to impris
onment for lii^o-Tlio Tragedy.
Union, Feb. 12.-The motion for
a new trial in the celebrated case of
W. T. Jones, a wealthy planter of
this county, who, after a most sen
sational t rial here last week, on tho
Charge ol having murdered his beau?
t|f*>l wife last July hy administering
or causing her to take strychnine,
and which resulted In i verdict of
guilty whh recommendation to
mercy, after the jury had had the
mailer under advisement for eigh
teen long, tedious hours, was to-day
refused by Judge Memmlnger, ?vito
presided last week.
Jones was refused a new trial al
ter many noars of argument. He
was sentenced to life imprison nient.
Judge Memmlnger in passing sen
tence told the prisoner he had hel
ter take tho term, for If granted n
new trial he believed he would hang.
This murder trial of W. T. Jones,
1.ans.- of his standing, ability and
wealth, for bo ls a man owning over
3,000 of the most fertile and highly
?aili(vated acres of land in this coun
ty, ami besides has a large county
ginnery and lived, before the crime
lie ls alleged to have committed, In
one ol the most palatial country
ho.ins in South Cand?na, altogether
being worth nearly $100,000, which
ls (pille a competence lu this State
for a planter, has attracted much
attention.
Personally, Jones, to most people,
is a most affable niau, and on nu
merous occasions has shown evi
dences of real generosity. He is a
fine type ol' physical manhood, being
about six feet two Inches In height
and weighing shout two hundred and
forty pounds. His composure and
bearing throughout the trial was
one of the marvels of those who saw
bini, but he nearly collapsed when
the verdict was announced, and has
since been (julie 111.
lt was on Sunday night, July 5,
1.(08, that a negro lu passing the
Jones home at Snntuc, heard a wo
man screaming. It was the voice of
Mrs. Jones, testified this negro on
the stand, and he heard Mr. Jones
cursing. Shortly after 12 o'clock
that night Dr. J. T. Jeter, the fam
ily physician, was summoned and
found Mrs. Jones In convilslons from
the effects of strychnine poisoning.
Jones, the physician swore, seemed
unaffected when told that she was
dead. At the inquest held the next
day testimony of the most sensa
tional and revolting nature was In
troduced. Three witnesses, one a
white man, a magistrate, and two
negroes, telling how on separaate oc
casions M.rs. Jones had approached
them while apparently laboring un
der intense excitement, fear and
compulsion by some unseen force,
to make a proposal both Improper
and naturally one n white woman
would not make. Other witnesses
told of long and continued 111 treat
ment for many years of the woman
by Jones. As a result of the evi
dence brought out nt the Inquest
Jones was arrested and committed to
jail heve on July fl, 1908, where he
has since been. Various efforts were
made by appeals to Circuit and Su
preme Court Judges io obtain his
release on ail, hut in each Instance
failed. Though the verdict last Sat
urday was a surprise to Jones lt is
said that he states that the real fipht
In his case has just begun, so that
further developments are awaited
with Intense interest.

Barnwell, ""eb. ll. - Julian
Greene, a colored barber, was shot
to death In his shop here to-d.iy
about 2.3d o'clock. There were no
eye-witnesses to the shooting.
C. P. Baker was seen coming from
tho shop immediately after the shoot
ing and was arrested hy Coroner

the scene of the killing. AL first
Maker denied having shot Green, but
acknowledged it after he was placed

lt is Claimed Carolina Commission
was Always Treated Courteously.
(Augusta Chronicle, 6th.)
The statement from Columbia, pub
lished In the Chronicle yesterday
morning, regarding the fishway at
the Augusta locks dam, caused much
comment on the street yesterday,
and the people who have been talk
ing about lt say that, the criticism
about Augusta ls unwarranted.
The criticism regarding the fish
way, many believe, was made with
out a thorough investigation. As a
matter of fact the fishway in the Au
gusta dam was put in by plans and
specifications from the government
experts and ls adajited to local con
ditions.
It ls nlso said that the putting in
the river nt Augusta several years
ago. by the United States Department
of Fisheries, of several million young
carp han caused the decrease in all
kinds ol fish here with the exception
of the carp and the cat fish. Fine
shad used to be found in abundance
nt and near Augusta, but not one
cnn be found in this section now. The
earp has been the destroyer of this
fish.
The South Carolina committee vis
ited Augusta a number of times and
was on all occasions, with the possi
ble exception of their last visit,
shown all of the attention possible.
On their last visit Mr. Nisbet Wing
field was out of the city, hut return
ed at 11 o'clock In the morning and
went Immediately to the hotel of the
South Carolinians. He was informed
that they had paid their bills and
left. He looked for them several
hours, but was not able to locate
I hem.
The report and criticisms of the
committee are not taken very seri
ously in Augusta, and at the i>ro|>e
time a reply will be made to the
charges. There ls no fear, however,
of a damage suit being instituted
against the city, or the State, as Hu
fishway has been made according to
the government expert's plans, and
was accepted by the government.
The Church Home Orphanage
now being maintained In Charleston
under the guardianship of the Epis
copal Diocese ol' South Carolina, i>

I be removal is to be effected as soon
as ii Is possible to make the neces
sary preparations for the change.

Bast Providence, R. I.. March 31,
I'.nts.- l have been confined to my
room with sciatic rheumatism for
the past three months, unable to
walk and suffering the most intense
pain lr my right hip and leg con
tinually. Recently a relative sent
nie a bottle of Noah's Liniment to
try, and 1 found it drove the pain
wherever applied. Now l am so I
can walk around tho house and have
no doubt it will perform a perma
nent cure. W. H. FLOOD.

Richmond, Va., Feb. 28, 1008.
I have been using Noah's Lini

best. I have given out se\ eral bot

used It with good results.

RHEUMATISM.
Swansboro, Va., Oct. 31, loos.
About six weeks ago I suffered an
attack of rheumatism In my right
leg, and it was hard for nie to get
about. I saw Noah's Liniment ad
vertised and 1 thought 1 would try
lt, and I found that.It did nie a whole
lot of good, in fact, lt took all the
pain and soreness away. 1 have
worked at the Iron trade (Old Do
minion Iron and Nail Works) for
about fifty years, and I get bruised
freqeutnly. I find Noah's Liniment
takes all soreness out Immediately.
I recommend Noah's Liniment to any
who suffer aches and pains.

NEURALGIA AND TOOTHACHE.
Hodges. S. C.. April 23, 1908.
My wife suffered for several years
with neuralgia and toothache. She
used half a bottle of Noah's Lini
ment and got immediate relief. I
would not be without lt In my house
at any cost.

SUFFERED TEN YEAHS.
Point Ea.-tern, Va., .June 18. 1908.
I suffered ten years or more with
a dreadfully sore pain in my back
and tried different remedies, but had
a r turn of the pain and soreness till
I tested the "Noah Liniment," of
which less than half a bottle seems
to have made a perfect cure. I am
much stronger Indeed. I think It ls
just grand, and I do hope all suffer
ing with rheumatism and all other
pains and soreness will test Its cura
tive powers, especially the aged, and
be healed. I used lt externally only.
I shall always keep it on hand.

BACKACHE AND STIFF JOINTS.
Abbeville, S. C., Jan. 9., 1909.
I purchased a 25c. bottle of Noah's
Liniment of C. A. Milford & Co.,
and used it for rheumatism, stiff
joints and backache, and I can say
lt did me more good than any pain
remedy I ever used. It has also
been used In my family for coughs,
colds, cramp and colic, always giv
ing immediate relief.

Percy Reginald Sholto Douglas, the
notorious bigamist, who married
more than a d'vjn young women in
Virginia and North Carolina, Miss
Josephine Hood, of Asheville, finally
has been located in Tucumcarri, New
Mexico.
Too pround to return to her family
after she found she had been duped
by the mnn who posed as the third
son of the marquis of Queensberry,
Miss Hood began the struggle for her
livelihood, and determined to bear
her sufferings alone. It was by the
merest accident that her family lo
cated her after a search over the
United States and Mexico, partici
pated in by Secretary Root, of the
State Department; the American
consul at Vera Cruz, and police offi
cers in many cities of the South and
West.
Mrs. John N. Hood, the mother of
the young woman, will leave at once
for New Mexico and return with ber
daughter to Asheville.
Miss Hood was married to the no
terions b'r.amlst at New Iberia, La.,
after a short courtship, and went
with him to Mexico, where he told
her and her family that he owned
vast mining and fruit properties, it
was there that Miss Hood was de
serted.
