GREENWOOD WOMAN IS SENT TO JAIL tfISS BELLE YOE IS HELD IN COXTEMPT OF COURT. Judge Sease Imposes Prison Sentence of Thirty Days?Outcome is Doubtful. Greenwood, April 10.?A most un* usual event in South Carolina court happenings was the commitment to jail here this morning of Miss Belle Yoe by order of Judge Sease for contempt of court. She was adjudged in contempt of court because she had refused to vacate certain lands con demned by the town of Greenwood, such condemnation being recently affirmed by the supreme court. Judge Sease issued a rule yesterday for Miss Yoe to show cause why she should not be adjudged in contempt of court. In answer to the rule Miss Yoe appeared in court this morning and when questioned by his honor stated that she had not been contemptuous but always very respectful to the court. Judge Sease then recited the case to her and the affirmation of the verdict of the circuit court bv the State supreme court and asked her why she did not obey the order of the court and move off the condemned lands. Miss Yoe answered, that it was her home, left her by her parents. Judge Sease ordered the sheriff to take charge of her s.nd commit her to jail for a period of 30 days for contempt of court, but added that if she decided to obey the court's order to " x Kq liKorotnH vacate uiac sue suwuiu u& iiutmi-vu. Miss Yoe readily accompanied the * deputy sheriff, D. T. Major, to the jail, 4 wher she now is. Coming into court she brought with her a large bouquet of flowers. She laid these down on the outside'before going in, but when -* ? J 4- V\ rvv-w, o r> ^ sue came out sue pica-cu uirm uj/ aau carried them on to jail with her. On the way over she asked what would be the outcome at the end of 30 days. Whether this is an indication that she ? means to remain the 30 days is not known. To insist upon occupying the premises on her release would doubtless mean constant arrest and imprisonment, since the court has adjudged her in contempt. The land in question is pbout 70 acres and adjoins the present tract owned by the town of Greenwood and used by the water and light plant. Tha lari^ w^.<? condemned under statu tory proceedings to protect the watert shed of the water supply of the town. Death of Dr. Copeland in Philadelphia. Clinton cor. Laurens Advertiser, 10th.

A. DICKERT CHAPTER. Enlarged Photograph Presented? Speeches Made by Jos. E. Norwood. Jr., and Annie Kibler. At a- meeting of the D. A. Dickert chapter 011 last Saturday afternoon at j the residence of Dr. ,T. M. Kibler, an enlarged protrait of Col. Dickert, taken in his Confederate uniform when he entered the army, was presented to the chapter. The presentation was made by Jos. E. Norwood, Jr., who spoke as follows: "Madame Director, Officers and Members of the D. A. Dickert Chapter, Children of the Confederacy: As a token of his appreciation of the honor done to him in naming the chapter for him, and the love he bears for each and every member of this chapter, Captain Dickert has asked me to present to you this picture of himself, taken at the first of the war. "Captain Dickert was a splendid soldier and brave in battle. He was and is a patriot. He entered the Confederate service at only 15 years of age in the first company organized at Newberry county early in February, 1861. T r\f Oumtor o n rl T-lnll Y> (is m, LUC UdlllC uumii/i uuu Run luring that year. In 1862 he was made lieutenant, and was in the seven days' battle around Richmond, was with the army in Maryland and at the battle of Fredericksburg was promoted to captain, which position he retained until the end of the war. He also was in one of the engagements in Tennessee in which Longstreet's corps participated and was at the battle of the Wilderness and Petersburg. Having joined the Western army under General Johnston near the close of the war, he was with that general during the negotiations of surrender, but the night before the final surrender, he took his own company with all the arms and accoutrement, crossed the mountains and brought the men home without a parole. Three times during these engagements he was # badly wounded. "After the war the members of his company presented him with a gold medal in recognition of his courtesy to ? his men and his bravery and daring on the field. Not only as a soldier, but a writer is Captain Dickert well known. Best known of his works is the History of Kershaw's Brigade, 2. well written and truthful history of his . company." In behalf of the chapter the portrait was received by Miss Annie Kibler, secretary, who made the following remarks: "In behalf of the D. A. Dickert chapter, Children of the Confederacy. I accept tliis likeness of this distinguisn3d friend and Confederate veteran for whom our chapter is named. I desire to express our thanks and appreciation to Col. Dickert for thinking of our little chapter and assure him that we will take good care of this gift to us and place it beside the charter of our mother chapter, the Drayton Rutherford chapter, which hangs in the lirnn rnc Ul Oil J I "I know I voice the opinion of our chapter in expressing our sincere thanks to our friend who has remembered lis and I herewith instruct the secretary to write to Col. Dickert, saying to him how very much we appreciate the picture which he presents to us today." Church of the Redeemer (Rev. Euw. Fulenwider, Pastor). Nothing preventing the following will thp nro<rram of divine services I ? l--~ at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday: 11 a. m.?The regular morning service. The pastor will preach 011 the subject: "Christian Doubters." The subject is suggested by the gospel lesson selected for the day. There are Christian doubters as well as unchristian doubters, but there is a marked difference between them. Those disciples that went into Galilee to meet .Jesus entertained many doubts and fears for the word says, "Some doubted," but they went forth from the scene of the meeting to give their lives to tlio cause that they had thought hopeless. It will be the purpose of the sermon to present some plain and practical thoughts on this subject. : 4 p. m.?The Sundav school meets.

I On Wednesday afternoon Newberry college defeated the College of Charleston in a game of ball 011 the college diamond by a score of 7 to 5. It was a good game, and the boys showed up in great shape. Both pitchers did fine work, but Epting, for Newberry, had the best of the battle, fanning 13 of the Charleston batters, and allow lllg DHL IOllT ScllllfS, wmic ric5"an, for Charleston, could get away with only six strike-outs and was touched for nine hits. The features of the game were numerous, among them being the batting of Boozer, Wise, Becker, Keitt and Floyd, and a caich of a line drive by I Smeltzer on third was no less than! sensational. The game was a good one in every respect. The team has done exceedingly well so far, having yet to suffer its first defeat this season. The Newberry boys play again Friday afternoon with a team from the town, and then they will go on the road for several games. On next Monday they go to Clinton for one game, and to Spartanburg Thursday and Friday for two games with Wofford. The box score of Wednesday's game makes interesting reading for the fans.

U Tide Continues Southward Many Points in Levees Subjected to Terrific Strain. The Mississippi river's angry torrent has temporarily halted its' work of devastation. Aside from a continuance of the break in a cut-off embankment above Natchez, Miss., no further crevasses were reported last night along the threatened stretches | of dykes. j Despite this temporary abatement i of the danger caused by the torrents I which sweep down the valley, the ! crisis is not past. As the tide continues southward, many points between I Baton Rouge, La., and Helena, Ark., j must stand a terrific test. If they fail, | then hundreds of square miles in some j of the world's richest agricultural j lands will be flooded, many hustling i cities will be inundated and life will 1? l1?? \ ? tVio ricfl nf the floor) j DC im tTciiencu. no l?v i ^ v?- ? , continues from Arkansas City downward, the stress on the threatened embankments has increased and anxiety grows among the myraid of workers ! toiling to reinforce the dykes.

This point was regarded yesterday as one of the most menaced in the danger zone. The crest will not reach Greenville '* J ?

Portions of country were flooded north of Vicksburg yesterday by backwater from the Yazoo river. The gauge at Vicksburg at 7 o'clock last night stood at 50.8 feet, a rise of two-tenths in 12 hours. This is onetenth of a foot less than the rise in the preceding 12 hours. The Easter Services. The resurrection of our Lord was I appropriately celebrated at the Luth' eran Church of -the Redeemer. The church was beautifully and elaborately decorated. Southern smilax was used in profusion, a lattice work of which formed the background for the cross and crown. The cliolr curtain, organ and chancel railing were dec| orated with smilax and ropes of it | outlined the arches and columns. J There were callas and poi plants, and great banks of ferns were used with quantities of white iris. Another especial attraction was the splendid music, which showed careful training and work on the part of the director and choir members. Though the weather was inclement, quite a large crowd gathered at tho impressive Matin services at 6.30 a. m. The choir rendered the antnem oy Giffe "Hail, Glorious Morn," and also I an offertory. The Matin service and Te Deum were used, after which the holy communion was adimnistered to one hundred and twenty-five people. At 11 o'clock there was a very large congregation. The choir gave the Easter anthem, "Sing and Rejoice, for Christ is Risen," by Adams. The pastor preached a short and very impressive sermon on the "Empty Tomb," afj ter which the choir gave the Easter | Offertory by Adams, "Angel, Roll the Stone Away." Letters of transfer were read (confirmation having taken place on Palm Sunday). The Lord's Supper was again administered to one hundred and seventy-six communicants. j Although it was raining at 5 o'clock, ' asain the church was packed for the j celebration by the Sunday school. Tho J children of the primary department, j under the direction of Mrs. Harms, j rendered in a splendid manner, a num- i j bc>r of songs appropriate to Easter aid j the flower festival. The school sang I J bright Easter songs. During the offer- j ins Mr. Byser charmingly rendered a beautiful violin solo, accompanied b? Mrs. Haltiwanger. Dr. Cromer >nded i i iii^ exercises of the day with on-1 ot ' his ' -i:*c the ! j significance of Easter to the childre-n. j THE NEWS OF U'HITMIRE. Excavation for >'ew Mill Finished?

Prize Winners in Boys' Corn Clubs to be Given Banquet at National Corn SIiotv. Special to The Herald and News. Columbia, April 11.?One thousand boys in school together is not a rare sight, but a gathering of one thousand school boys around a banquet board is unique. And when it is said that ! these one thousand boys are Com Club boys, from all the corn growing States, what a sight it will be! This is the plan of the National Cora TTYinnsitirtn management, to have a great exposition school for prize winners in- the county contests of the Boys' Corn clubs, as conducted throughout 'the Southern States by the federal farm demonstration bureau, and the city council of Columbia, where the corn exposition is to be held next January, has announced that the city will give a banquet to the one thousand or more boys attending the ar>Vinn1 CA|;uoiiivu uvuw..

The faculty will con; sist of agricultural experts from all > parts of the country who will be in; attendance on the exposition, which is ' much more than a mere corn show. ; It is a great national agricultural exposition, not being confined to corn x JA? Id J alone, and tne opporiuimy I affords for agricultural education is unexcelled. The boys attending the exposition 3 school will be quartered in a large J building, near the main exposition " buildings, and they will be in charge " of representatives of the farm demonstration work. The boys will be or> ganized into a semi-military organizai tion, and while the men of the demon= HAr>a,rt.ment will have close ^ | _ > supervision over them, it is planned - that the boys themselves will be given - certain responsibilities. They will visit the exhibits in the mornings and in the afternoons will have parades, i and will be given special instruction - in corn judging, stock judging and the like. The boys will be asked to prepare reports of what they see and the best of these reports will be sent to the home papers for publication. ^ Then on Saturday night, the last 1 night, comes the banquet, given by the - city of Columbia in honor of the Corn * Club boys. There will be speeches by - some of the most.notable -men in the country, and in fact it will be a gen uine banquet, just like grown-up forks I have. , Prnf o. B.
