Magistrate Says Grand Jury Was Mis informed as to His Action in Mose Farrow Case. Chappells, S. C., Dec. 5, 1910. Mr. W. H. Shelley, Foreman Grand Jury, Newberry County. Dear Sir: Upon reading the present ment of the grand jury for the fall term of 1910, as published In the coun ty papers, I was astounded at the statement made upon Information re ceived concerning the settlement of the Mose Farrow case. Now the facts in the case are as follows: Some time during Septem ber, 1910, one Lee Spearman, came to my office and swore out a warrant against one Mose Farrow, charging him with being drunk and disturbing the peace of religious service at Little River church in August, 1910. The warrant was placed in hands of Spe cial Constable J. W. Darnell, for exe cution, the regular constable being absent at the time. Before the day set for trial of the case Lee Spear man, the prosecutor, withdrew the warrant, stating that the case had been settled out of court and among themselves. I had nothing whatever to do with the settlement, knowing nothing of it until request was made to withdraw warrant, nor did I re ceive one cent in pay either directly or indirectly. Your reliable informer has misrep resented the case entirely either through ignorance or with the malic ious intent of reflecting on me, rath er than a desire to see justice done. It Is to be regretted that any person, no matter bow unfriendly should be the feeling existing, would willfully make a charge of so grave a nature until they were positive of the truth in the case. I feel that a great injustice has been done me and in further proof of the case above referred to I w2l submit to the solicitor certain affidavits of repitable persons who were present at the settlement of case outside of my court, who tetsify that I was not connected in any way with settlement of same. Yours respectfully, W. R. Reid. A VAST PAGEANT OF EMPIRE. Plans for the Crowning of King George Next June. It is probable that London will scarcely be able to accommodate all the visitors who will crowd into this city next summer, for there has been arranged a round of festivities in con nection with the coronation of King George and Queen Mary that will draw people from all the ends of the earth. Although nothing official regarding the exact date of the coronation has been announced it Is generally ac cepted that it will take place in the week commencing June 18, probably on Wednesday, June 21. Already the arrangements are wdll in hand. It is to be made a vast pageant of empire in which all the overseas dominions will take part. Each will be represented by a con tingent of .troops and the procession which will accompany their majesties from Buckingham palace to Westmin ster and the forces that guard the line of route will be thoroughly typi ical of the might and strength of the empire. The word has gone forth that noth ing must be wanting to make the event worthy of the empire. Socially the last fortnight in June and the early days of July will be a period of unexampled gayety. First and foremost willl be the festi val of empire at the Crystal Palace, in which no fewer than 20,000 per sons drawn from all parts of the em pire and from all ranks of society will take part. The pageant which will be seen at the Crystal palace will be al most as brilliant a spectacle as the coronation itself. Then there will be the great impe rial exhibition at the White City. Ev ery country in the empire will be represented. There wilt be a hundred buildings devoted to an exhibition of their arts and industries and the home life of their people. There are com mittees engaged now in distant lands selecting inhabitants typical of the various races.

The route of the coronation proces sion has not yet been decided upen, but nevertheless wholesale booking of .seats to view it are being made. It .has already been arranged to erect a great stand on a piece of unoccupied land in the Strand capable of accom modating and catering for no fewer than 10,000 persons and other big schemes of a like kind are in contem plation. The people who are booking seats thus early are not all residents of this country. From all quarters of the globe Inquiries are arriving asking for the best positions. Before the end of the year It is probable that 100,W0 places will have been engaged. A dl-. rector of a leading booking ageacV told a reporter: "This morning we had a enomnal -cation from Java requesting that 'a iscore of seats be reserved for coroma tion day for a party coming over frem ,that island. "Another letter from Burma &eks for the exact date of the coronaton eremony and what are the best seetA -obtanaile. "We have also got orders for seats from Calcutta and other towns in In dia. The greatest number of inqui ries, however, come from America and it is probable that an unprece dented invasion of people from the United States will be seen here next June." The coronation will bring to this country royal personages from the courts of Europe, although no relga Ing monarch ever attends a coromi tion. In the thousands of invitatios which will be issued to less exalted guests the mayors of all the principal cities of the empire will be includet. Blow to Pride.
