NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, TUIESDAY, JUNE 28, 1910.TWCAWE , .5AYAR ONCE MORE W. T. JONES LOSES. Attorneys for Defence GI.e Notice I of Aothezr Appeal to Supreme Court. nion, June 25.-W. T. Jones has n refused a new trial. Special b e W. B. Gruber, presiding in the G uit court for Union county, afternoon handed down his de- V on in this celebrated case, where- F the 'defendant, convicted of the urder of his wife, Marian Jones, is 1] deAied the right to again present his r defence to a jury of his peers. a The application for a new trial af ter the case had been heard by th' B supreme court, and determined ad Tersely to the defendant, is based up IC on the alleged misconduct of certain of the trial jurors, and further upon allegation that material evidence, unknown to the defendant, has been s discovered since the trial of the case. Decided by Judge Memminger. Is Judge Gruber, in his decision, which covers 12 typewri.tten pages, V reviews at some length the testi- ti mony introduced by the State at the trial of the case. Coming to the C points at issue in the motion before V him, the judge holds, after review _ig the proceedings before Judge a Memminger for a new trial in this case, that the queqstion as to the al- h leged misconduct of some of the trial h jurors was passeid upon by Judge h Memminger, and that this matter is, therefore, "res adjudicata," and that a he has no power, if he had the in clination, to consider this ground of that motion for a new trial. r The second ground upon which the :mtion is based, that of after discov ered evidence, is fully considered in the decree. Judge Gruber points out C that the after discovered evidenc - must be material and that it. could ave been discovered by the ex of due diligence before the VfhnLses Were! at Trial. 1 e then afiseiased the evidence a ntd in the affidavits submitted I e -defendant, in support of the all f0P & neW triPi, And held that t do not, in his opinion meet the E rements; that he is not -convinc. c at defendant could not have dis-: I ed the evidence in time to use tthe trial. He points out, also, y some of the witnesses, whose h mony is alleged to be newly dis- l.a ered, were bound over to attendv etrial, and others lived on W. T. j Jones's place. The judge concludes by s. rn'e-:ruling the motion on both v grounds.. The defendant's attorneys at once d gave verbal notiee of an- appeal to the supreme tourt. It is understood that an order overruling such a mo tion as this, addressed as it is to theS iiscretion of the presiding judge, is } appealable and may be reversed on the ground that the judicial discre- t tion has been abused.j D-eath of Mr. Jalie Wells.

X REPLIES TO AMERICA. i It is Not a Question of Northern Men -But a Stranger Evangel That is Objectionable. - We have no knowledge of the iden , tity of this America, but his or her patronymic is staggering, reach I ing from the Arctic sea to Patagonia, I certainly a citizen of the world. The Charleston News and Courier is dub bed by its contemporaries, "The Ol Lady of Broad Street," by its ad hesion to dead issues, forgotten tra ditions, and its many inaccuracies, so we feel safe in styling Ameiica, "The Old Lady of the Alle, " 1ow ever, he or she may be a giant, for aught we know, or an Ajax or even an Atlas. The Old Lady's first and most fatal inaccuracy was in regard to the president of the Woman's college, and has been already corrected by the editor. Says Ainerica: "The Soutrern slang word, Yankee * * * and Buckra, a poor Southern white man, is never heard in polite society." Diable, ) what ignorance. The word Yankee is not a Southern slang, it is a cor ruption of the French word Anglaise, and applied by the Algonquin and other Indian tribes, to the whites of New England, pronouncing it "Yan-. kese." It is universally used by the South and West, to denote the people of the Northeast, and applied to ,all of the citizens of the United StateR' indiscriminately, ' by the English speaking people of Europe. The word Buckra is used nowhere, but by the negroes along. the coast distf-. and Is a corruption of the Span)* word, denoting, bleached, or *lte, and in contradistinction to negro a Spanish word that means black... So there you. are. AsVahe ''Old Lady of the Alley''7k 'it upon himself to be an apologist f.or ' the trustees, we have this to say41 all. It is useless and childish- to 'at,. tempt the muddying of the water, ot elouding of te issiues, by claiming 1 that it is against men of Northern birth, and Northern institutions, .that public opinion to so Araly *@, Therp is no truth or foundatioi for Audi a 'charge. Men ~ind W6fi6It, be they teacders or of cosiillt@Idl dilings, ministeYs, Slaborers, ona and. 81 &re Wdiddie'd to our midst, so long ?e they fdilbW Stheir legitimate . calling, affd estaIin from meddling with - our soci #ti r tus, and forbare forcing upon u# e offensively, their Northern opinions, and do trine of social equality of the - races. This is a free country, it is Strue, free speeCh, political and reli gious liberty. Every one entitled to his own opinIius. But at the same .time, people will cdbjedt to having this heresy or stra-dge' 6Vangel as they look upon it, tadg~ht ii their .' schools, or insidiously' driep into _ tbeir homes. .America speaks in glowing t~4rm's i of Northern pulpit-men,a NothV a men in our college, of men of- distind tion, who have sought instruction at 1 the feet of Northern men. 'Tis true i we have had men from the North who I were ornaments to the college, and i were highly respected so long as our - social affairs were not challenged. The first president of the college was Ia man from the North, so were two of the first professors. But on one occasion a Northern president under took to criticize the students about their views on the negro question, and condemned in harsh terms, the 'institutions and political opinions of Sth~eir fathers. At this insult the stu -dents rose en mass from the least 2 Freshman to the oldest Senior and ran the offensive professor out of thu 'school. The next day he claimed eprotection from the town, and, was t only spared a severe pounding of rot ten eggs and stale vegetables at the Shands of the outraged students by a -few of the older and more conserva tive citizens, escorting him to the railroad station. So much for the iargument of the "Old Lady of the Al -ley," and would now like to ask the trustees of the city schools a few 1' hypothetical questions, as the law - yers would say. Should a graduate from a Northen i college, backed by his diploma and i testimonials from faculty, make ap a plication for position of teachier inL 3 your white schools, would you -en and accept him, then on presei.mting himself for duty you would fiLd he had negro blood in him, would you dismiss him, or stand. to your agr;e ment? If you should reject him how could you avoid the payment of his salary? There is a law againat mixe.1 schools in this State, but there is nothing on the statutes in regard to tne color of the teachers Hundreds of white men and women have taught negro schools in this county and State. Would you bow to the mam dates of public opinion then, or v;ould you sxnd to your -greement? If a young white man frn a Northern Slata enter the Hoge school, or some negro college in this State araduate, --eke application to your bioard for position as teacher In your white school, you find him well qaall fled -rith satisfactory testimonia;s, would you reject or acc ept him, on the jm:!r of his training? If a yonTg white man from the North would come to this town, Cou sort with negroes, go with them to their churches, enter their h;rbs Cud. mingt2 with them daily, on terin s vt sopial equality, would yoa rezom pmand him to the patrons of be T. G. VLEOD, Caudidate For Gowernor, F. H. HYATT, Candidate For Governor. schools, as a fit subject to associate with theii- children? If a~ 3->ung man, born ai brcsl in the S ru. 7 ould pr,actice socil eqai.y, consort with negroes ou a ii equal footing, eat at the same table, occupy the same bedroom, sit at the same desk with negroes in school, would you think him a proper per son to enter your homes, and teach the children in the schools? If you reply in the negative, then why ad mit a Northern man under the same surroundings, to your school? Have you not already at the head of your schools one that favors equality of the races in the school room? One that is deaf to all the traditions, tne principles, and high ideals of the old South? Is it beneficial to the people to fly in the face of public opinion. and vaunt your authority against the antagonism of the great majority of the populace, male and female? Don't you think the day of the Vanderbilt maxims "The public be damned," is past in this part of the South? The public would like to hear some logi cal reason for passing over the hun dreds of graduates from our home the far North, -untried and untrained, a and a Southern man, who tramped hundred of miles to sit in rooms of a 1' college that allows the mixing of the te races on terms of equality? T X, ai Poor Old Clnton. M In a fast and well-played game of ball, West End defeated the Lydia tT mill team on the latter's grounds at Clinton on' Saturday afternoon by at score of 3 to 1. This game keeps Newberry's percentage at 1,000, with G -eight games played. Tha features of Ia the game were the pitching of Eid- e son and Bailey, with the odds in fa- w vor of Eidson. The Newberry twirl- Ul er allowed only two hits, struck out te six, and did not walk a man. Bailey T, was touched for four hits and gave free passes to two Newberrians. The game was called in the sev enth inning, a. delay caused by an accident to Second raseman Jones, of-West End, in the fifth inning, mak- ie ing this necessary. The accident was caused by a, collision between la Jones and Bouknight, both of whom were after Beacham's- fly to short B rightfield. Jones suffered a severe injury on the head, and it was at first feared that the skull was fractured. He is, however, resting 'sasy under the care of Dr. P. G. Ellesor, and no serious results are 'feared. Score by innings: R H E. Lydia.... .. ..000 010 0-l - 2 4 Newberry .. ..100 002 0-3 ~4 3 Batteries, Bailey and Young; son and Ruff.
