?' I
Barnwell, December 8.?Scott Madiison,
colored, will pay the death penalty
for the murder of Mr. E. Peyton
Best in this city on the night of
December 8, between Friday, Decern
ber 19/ and Monday, December zz, in- j
^ } elusive. Such was the sentence of;
Judge Gage late this afternoon, after j
the jury had brought in a verdict of
guilty of murder as to Madison, and
guilty of assault and battery as to
Gilbert Miller, also colored. Ed Durant,
a negro, testified this afternoon,
that Mr. Best pushed Miller, who was
standing in the door of thp restaurant*
out of his way, when he left the buildI
ing, and that Miller then threw a bottle
r at him and ran. According to the testimony,
Mr. Best turned and asked j

OCUlt, iYiauiaun ??i-ivy u<v (
L fendant replying that the man that hit j
r him was the one running down the :
street.'Mr. Best then turned to walk
away and the fatal shot was fired.
The testimony of Rufus JanTes, !
Mitchell Story and Julius Wililams, the i
prprietor of the restaurant and pool
room in question, all corroborated in !
the mailn statements made by Da- j
rant.
Major R. Boyd Cole testified to find- !
* ing a pistol under the depot, upon in- '
J formation given by Andrew Simms, the
same being, it was alleged, the one with
which the murder was committed. |
!
Other Witnesses.
Dr. R. C. Kirkland testified as to the
nature of the gunshot wound on the
body of Mr. Best?that the bullet entered
from the back and passed entirely
through the body.
f Mr. Alva Mellet, the undertaker, tes- j
tified that there was a small bruise behind
the t left ear of the dead man.
which could have been caused by a
blow from a bottle.
Mr. Vince Dunbar, who was standing
in the doorway of Kearse's pool room
at the time of the tragedy, testified to
" ' ~ nm/\Vn frnm tVl o nictnl
iliiV ilig bceu LliC OlllUftC 11UU1 w, I
immediately after the firing of the two |
shots; that Mr. Best staggered towards j
^ him and Mr. A. M. Harden, exclaiming !
as he fell, "Boys, I'm shot.'* That de-!
ceased died immediately thereafter. :
.
Mr. A. M. Harden, who was standing |
by Mr. Dunbar at the time of the shoot- i
ing^ testified to having seen the flash j
of the pistol in front of the negro res-1
taurant and that he caught Mr. Best in j
his arms as deceased was falling.
.* Andrew Sims, a negro section hand, I
testified that Scott Madison had at-!
tempted to buy his pistol?a 38-calibre, j
k lett hand wheeler?from him on the
afternoon of the defendant have it and
f that it was later stolen from his trunk,
presumably by Madison; that after the
killing Madison returned the pistol and I
said that he had killed a white man; I
that witness became frightned and hid
the pistol undel the A. C. L. freight;
I depot.
Albert Cave, colored, testified that a
negro threw a bottle at Mr. Best, who
turned and asked who hit him. Xo one
replied, and deceased then turned and
started up the street, when a negro
snapped a pistol at him three times
Another negro, he said, then fired the i
shots, one of which hit Mr.Best in the !
back. Witness could not identifv the i
I
assailants, who were strangers.
Madison s Story Weak One.
Scott Madison is from Remini. He 1
was put upon the stand in his own de- j
fence, and told a story entirely at vari- j
ance with the testimony of the witnesses
for the State. So unsupportable,
was his testimony, that he got badly
mixed in the telling and no weight was
given to it whatever. He denied doing
the killing, but said that it was done
with the gun he had gotten from An
drew Simms. He accused one Seaman 1
Moore of the crime.
Gilbert Miller testified in his own behalf,
and apparently told a straightforward
story, impressing his hearers
, ^ with the truth if his statements. He
[ admitted buying a bottle of whiskey in
the restaurant; stated that Mr. Best
l^ad pushed him out of the way, and
:hat he was quite a good distance off
| when the shots were fired. He later
. met Madison, who, he said, admitted
ha ving shot a white man.
Two negro women and Seaman
Moore were put on the witness stand
I
but they denied knowing anything connected
with the tragedy. \
Jury Out Twenty Miputes. |
This completed the case. The jury
was out about twenty minutes, returning
the verdict given above. Miller
was sentenced to thirty days on the
chain gang. After sentence had been
passed Madison asked permission to
speak. And made several requests as
to the disposition of his body, the collection
of some money owing to him,
and that he be allowed to thank his
friends for what they had done. The
defendants were then remanded to jail.
There is hardly any possibility of any
further trouble. The verdict of the
jury is conceded to be a just one, and
the early execution of the murderer
should satisfy the most exacting advocate
of speedy justice. The prosecution
was assisted by E. A. Brown. Esq;
wno conducted the examination of the
witnesses. The defendants were represented
by Attorneys H. A. Simms

DETAILS OF WHALEY CHARGES.
Committee Makes Public Record in
First Congressional District
Case.
i
Washington, Dec. 8.?The house
committee on elections, investigating
* ? - ^ T i-\V?t-* 13 n,rcir?o

of Charleston against Representative
Richard S. Whaley, today nade public
the full record in the case. This
record contains the original petition
filed by Mr. Grace, together with a
long bill/)f particulars and an amended
petition.
This latter bill of particulars sets
out in detail the sums of money paid
and to whom paid, including a part
of the $60,000 alleged to have be:n
expended by friends of Mr. Whaley,
fSio h^incr fiipri in resnonse to a de
lii iO 1*A V\? ? wj.
mand of the committee for more specific
information. It is here stated
that various amounts were placed in
the hands of Mitchell Whitsell, W.
B. Ackerman. .lames Peurifoy, S. L.
Simons, 0. B. Limehouse, Walker S.
Utsey, Dr. Dick and'about 30 other
persons to buy and corrupt voters for
Mr. Whaley. The largest of these
AAA t'lO riTMf'P
amouius was ipd,wu auu
went all the way down to $200.
There is another affidavit from
Philip Fash and one from Victor
Perry, also affidavits from J. J. Hilton,
<F. Brandes, M. Bazaar, John
Aulberry, A. H. Brocthei s. C. Conklin,
Lester. Schwartzberg and Frank
Brylet, all bearing on the same matter.
Go Into Details.
All these affidavits go into particulars
concerning amounts of money
i
said to have been used jorruptly by
the Whaley workers. All are to the
same effect, only differing in amounts
used, in places where the money is alleged
to have been paid, and in minor
details. After this follows the testimony
of FTank Higan, Mike Barry,
S. D. Sargent and H. Leon Larisey, all
of which has already been exploited
through the press.
The interesting part of the situation
at the present time concerns the
affidavits and the statement filed by
Mr. Whaley. Alter denying absolutely
all of the matter filed by Mr.
Grace, it is shown that his affidavits
are signed by M. J. Xolan? B. P.
Ca^ey, Thomas W. Young, Tiiomas

John H. Steenken, P. Hanley, C. Crovatt,
J. Russell Williams and about
r?0 others.
Deny it All.
The affidavits so filed by Mr.
Whaley not only controvert in detail
those submitted by Mayor Grace, but
attack the names of the Grace men
and most especially that oi' Larisey.
There are perhaps a dozen of the
Whaley affidavits in which the signers
declare that they kno>v Larisey
and that they would not believe him
on oath. Many of these named in the
affidavits made by Larisey say that
liis statements are wild and visionary
and unworthy of belief; some say
they were not at the polls when ho
said they were there; others that they
; had been erroneously included in his
affidavits, and still others that they
would not believe him under any circumstances.
As already stated in this correspond
I
I
once, the burden of Mr. Whaley's defense
is a denial of all the charges !
j
made by Mr. Grace so far as they re- i
late either to the use of excessive
| sums of money, the buying of votes j
or the making of false and perjured j
! affidavits to procure his seat in the ,
j house.
! Mr. WTialey also told the commit!
tee that any charges that he had
! promised the postmastersnip at jaanning
to J. D. Gerald and C. W. Wells
j and that he had promised it also to
I others is absolutely untrue and he
, never made any promise to any one
! to reward him to office should he be
elected to congress.
This is-the sum and substance of
! the whole situation as it exists here
j at the present time. Mr. Grace filed
j his charges anl supplemented the<n .
{with others; Mr. Whaley filed a specific
denial. That makes a joined isJ
sue and it is up to the congressional
j committee to say whether Mr. Whaley 1
! shall make ' further defense or
| whether he has already, in the eyes
of the committee, cleared himself by

I Mr. Grace arrived here today and .
j is prepared, it is understood, to fight'

shall decide to go into a regular in- j
vestigation. Tonight he had no stateI
inent to make to the press concerning

night was shot and probably mortal- \,
Iy wounded, the shooting occurring in :
the dining room of Mr. and Mrs. Hite '
at Batesburg, is to-night in the Lexington
county jail, having been arrest- !,
ed at her home in Batesburg today j
by Sheriff Sim J. Miller and brought
to Lexington in the sheriff's automo- i
bile. She is charged with being an
accessory to the shooting of her husband.
Walter E. Gurganous, , charg- j
ed with doing the shooting, is now in j
jail here.
Mrs. Hite was arrested on a war- j
rant sworn out before Magistrate a. i
H. Blease by John G. Darby, chief of i
police of the town of Batesburg, in j
which she is charged with being an |
accessary to the shooting.
The affidavit set out: "That on in- j
formation and belief at Batesburg, i
Lexington county, State aforesaid, on
the 6th day of December, 1913, one
Ella Delle Hite did unlawfully assist, j
aid abet and procure one Walter E. 1
Gurganous without just cause or prevof.ation
to violently assault, shoot,
penetrate and wound one J. Milton '
Hito with intent, him, the said J.
Milton Hite, to kill and murder, said
aiding, abetting, assisting and procuring.
being against the form of the
statute in such case made and provided
and against the peace and dignity
of the State."
Mrs. Hite refused to be interviewed
after reaching jail, telling Sheriff
Miller that she would not make a
statment now but in a few days she 1
would be glad to talk.
Gurganous, who is charged with
the shooting, is occupying a cell on
the upper floor of the jail, while Mrs.
Hite occupies a lower cell just to the ,
> _ i
right of the cell occupied oy me i
young man. Carrying out the instruc-1
tions of Solicitor George Bell Tim- j
merman,, who accompanied Sheriff j
Miller to Batesburg, Mrs. Hite and j
Gurganous will not helallowed to talk j
to each other. A close guard will be
placed around the jail during the j
day in order that no message may |
pass between the two.
Mrs. Hite showed no visible signs i
of ' emotion. She took her arrest!
calmly, it is said, and will await the
outcome of her husband's injuries bei
fore making any attempt at securing .
bond. The same course will be followed
by Gurganous' attorneys.
Mrs. Hite is a brunette, very attrac- i
tive, and becomingly dressed.
Hite, for s.iooting whom Gurganous |
and Mr.c. Hite are being held, was |
seriously wounded Saturday night at1
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hite at
Batcsburg. Mr. Hite left his work
at the store of L. D. Cullum to go j
to supper a little before 7 o'clock and
a few minutes laier a pistol shot rang;
j out. Nearby neighbors rushed to the 1
| home, only to find Mr. Hite with a j
: pistol wound in the lower part of the
| neck. Gurganous and Mrs. Hite j
j were found in the nouse together,
| Mrs. Hite being at the telephone try-1
i ing to get a doctor when the first
j person arrived. The weapon with j
| which the wound is supposed to have |
, Ka^r> SnflWori wns thA nrnnertv of Mr.
| Hite and has never been found.
! Gurganous was arrested a few minutes
later at the Hite home by John j
j G. Darby, chief of police, and was
| rushed to Lexington in an automo- j
j bile. The feeling at Batesburg against
Gurganous was so strong that a cir- J
! cuitous route was chosen by the of-'
I ' I
: ficers in order that no attempt at .
1 summary vengeance might be made'.
Gurganous has refused to make a
statement further than that he did
I
not do the shooting. His father and i
mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Gurgan- j
ous ca" Durham, X. C., cr.me to Lex-i
ington yesterday, and 'it is under- j
j stood that they secured counsel to |
j represent their son. So far as is j
I known Mrs. Hite has not employed an I
I * I
; attorney.
| The condition of Mr. Hite is said to
j be grave. Upon the advice of physi- j
cians he was carried to an Augusta ,
| hospital today.
j The injured man is one of the most j
' prominent and popular young men of
Batesburg. He has been for a num,
ber of years a member of the town
i council and he is held in the highest j
t
/ / v
esteem. em
The 8-year-old. daughter of Mr. and to?

YOUR LUCKY NUMBER. of
(From Answers.) th<
"Figureology"' is one of the oldest and be
simplest methods of reading character eu
and prophesying events. It has always
been a popular way of telling fortunes, ua
and is now on the high road to sup- 12i
planting palmistry and many other ar;
sciences for peeping into the future. th<
The best of "figureology" is that any nu
one knowing even only a little of the tir
i
system upon which it ?is based is en- da
abled to prophesy events and better of
ho fn+iiTo w-ithruit thp rnst of consult- thi
ing an adept. Whenever you need ad- th;
vice you can appeal to your knowl- ari
edge of figures, and by calculations
you are soon able to decide upon the W(
best plan of action. da
First of all, it is necessary for you by
to understand the meaning of the different
numbers. For instance, th*e fig- th<
ure 1 is a good symbol, indicating will m(
power and determination, while 2 be
shows a dual personality and is not |
particularly good. ] <ja
Then 3 is the number that governs j pg
the head, religion, philosophy and j
science, and is exceptionally fortunate, i ^
Figure 4 governs and gives money; o |^
is a sign of restlessness, activity, love
of travel and a liking for anything f
mysterious; while 6 is the figure of a ^
thinker, giving a desire for knowledge ^
and a great deal of inquisitiveness.
The number 7 means sacrifice, wis- e(*
dom and completeness; it is indicative i?T
of religious tendencies, also of fame ^
and honors Then 8 means a life full j an
of change and variety; it is not a good \^T
number, because it is liable to bring su
strife and opposition. ' an
The figure 9 is neither good nor bad, Pr
it is somewhat doutful, and, although
often the sign of prsoperity, it is a bad
number for a house, bringing ill for- Rtune
to the inmates. At the same time, mj
however, both art and literature come S.
under the influence of figure 9. ^
r Speaking of house numbers, it was
noticed once that a great many people F.
failed in business in a house bearing ed
the number 328. The explanation of, th
the ill fortune brought by the number j
is that 328 equals 3* plus 2 plus 3, '?a
which added together, equals 13. That
number, like 9, is extremely bad .for a 1
house. Any numbers that make 13 Hj
i_ ? - J J ?3 ^^Ka C?VJnn_ 1 oti
wnen aaueu lugeuiei suuum uc auuu ,
ned on this account; 85 is one of these ;
49 another and 6 another; although . Hi
the good fortune and happiness con- in?
nected with the figure . does much in ' So
this instance to mitigate the evil in-, ,
fluence of 13. of
A rhort while ago a prominent ~tntes- jn
man mentioned the fact that 13 has
been the lucky number throughout the ei,
whole of '.lis life, and he enumerated W}
a score or so ol* events obviously rnled Fr
by this number. But this i? not so re- g.
mortohlo us it sppms for. altilOllSh I fr>1
13 is an extremely bad house number, j,pr
is r,r<+ nearly fo unfortnate in oth- 0f
er matters as is generally mpposnd. p
In fact, it was at one time regarded ti
as a most prosperous figure, and in f0
marriage it is still said to promise , q
harmony and happiness. Among the co
'? fVio 1 QfV? dov r?f a mnnth was
ttuuicuis mc luiii uuj ? ....? ? I
invariably chosen for a wedding. J se
Fortune and character telling by J e(j
the date of one's birthday is very easy, j ;ia
and it is also possible for any one to \n
take account of the numbers that, f0
have influenced his life, enabling him I
i
to rule the future to a certain ex- j m(
tent. 10j*
For instance, take the case of Louis
XTV, of France, who was born on Sep- pr
tember 14, and became King in 1643 ecj
(added together these figures make
14.1 Aaain. he became of age at 14,
and he began his personal government j
at the death of Mazarin. in 1661 ; th
(1-6-C-l?14.) He died at the age of 77 j jje
(7x2?14.) after reigning 72 years, and
the date of his death was 1715 (again
making 14.) His father, Louis XII.
died on May 14, 1643 (1-6-4-3?14,) j S.
and his grandfather. Henry IV, also ' *ai
died on May 14. \ on
This is only a very ordinary case, j^h
You will probably find that some num- Ti
ber has influenced your life either for
evil or good in a very similar manner; ne
and by either avoiding this number in ri*
the future, or by making use of it as ^
much as nossible, you cau better the s*3
conditions of your life. jtw
If you cannot trust sufficiently in a
your lucky number when wishing to f-'<
choose a day for some particular fn
event to take place, there is another fa:
way in which the success of your | tic
I
~ .-j- - . - . .. - ' v..-*

terprise can he helped, if not aljether
assured.
Lucky days in a month may be asrtained
by noting the day of the
\ moon (this can be found in any ,
nanac) and counting the number
days- from that day until the end of
? month, then multiplying the numr
of days from full moon until the
d. The result will be your answer.
For example, take the month of Janry,
1914. -Full moon will fall on the
th day. There are 31 days in Januv
and frnm the 12th until the 31st
5re are just 19 days. Multiply the
mber of days contained in the ene
month, viz 31, by the number of
ys from the full moon to the end
the month, viz 19. You will find
it 31 multiplied by 19 equals 589: so
it the lucky days in January, 1914,
e 5, 8 and 9.
If the result had been 588, 5 and 8
juld, of course, have been the lucky
ys, 8 becoming exceptionally strong
reception.
In order to find the unlucky days,
& number of days in the entire
i
)nth must be multiplied by the nuin&
of the days before the full moon,
le Tesult will then give you theys
on which you must mind your
