I only apply where qualifications are

to regard the ages of 25 to;
35 as the most suitable. There is also
some misunderstanding about the necessity
of previous military experi-,

The officer in charge of the training
camps, in commenting on this
phase of the situation, stated:
j "While men of 31 years and over
j have been appealed to to make application
for the second series of train-.
ing camps, it must not be understood
that men under 31 years of age are
not wanted to apply. Quite the contrary.
They are earnestly encouragonnlv

only in the instances
where they are clearly better qualified
to receive commissions. It is certain
that men under 31 will in many j
cases be selected in preference to old- '
er men, because some younger men
will clearly stand oiit as men of force,!
trained in athletics, accustomed to

Dr. Geo. B. Cromer,
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Dr. Cromer:
At the close of the wonderfully sue-!
cessfully campaign for the Red Cross |
War Fund 1 intended, in behalf of!
the War Council, to send you and'
your associates, a telegram of thanks
and congratulations for your splend-;
idly effective work. On reflection,
however, I decided in view of the
nation wide extent of our org^piza j
tion that it would be more economi-1
cal, and equally satisfactory, to write!
to you instead of telegraphing.
We of the War Council are deeply!
grateful to you. to your colleagues, to j
the devoted men and women of local;
Red Cross chapters and auxiliaries,<
and to every element and individual,
in your community who aided by ser-j
vice and contribution. I
There is nov methcd bv which wej
. i
can reach the legion of individuals, j
organizations, churches, newspapers,!
societies, banks, companies and firms j
whose united effort has provided tliis |
great fund for humanity, and if i
tthrough your press and by other!
means you can make public expres-j
sion of our gratitude we shall deeply j
appreciate the courtesy. Their joint |
accomplishments has stirred the j
pride of every American.
I wish to n.Jd my personal thanks
to you, and through you, to all who
contributed to the splendid result.
' iVery sincerely yours,
'Signed) H. P. DAVISON.

thousands, of inventions, ideas, and;
suggestions for the bfenefit of thej

confidentially eacn one ot mese su^-i

the writers, will requi.e a consider-!

Patience on the part of these patriotic

JU STIFIABLE HOMICIDE
WAS VERDICT OF JURVj
j
The Newberry papers went to press;
last Thursday afternoon before the'
verdict of the coroner's jury and the:
full particulars of the killing of the
nnr.i-A Pfili'n "VTr?r<ra n hv ATr TTllP'Vl fV .
u VUllii ?uv/i {JU44 - * A . -?O" w. ,
Wilson could be given to the public'
through the columns of the press, j
The facts, however, soon became;
#
known. The following from the rer-J
ords of the inquest fully explain the;
difficulty:
Cannon G. Blease being duly svrorn'
says:
r nuc at Himipr inst at '.I n'rlnr.k to
day. July 5, 1917. when Mr. Dorroh,
my deputy phoned me to come to!
office at once as there was some one;
there who wanted to see me. When;
I got to office jH. C. Wilson tolfl me;
that he had killed Coley Morgan down1
in Wilson's bottoms and tnat lie (Wil-i
son) had come in to surender. He
said that he and r.Torgan got into j
words and that Morgan cut at him j
and did cut him on right leg with ai
grass blade. That he then struck'
Morgan with a pitch fork, knocking!
him down. Morgan got up and ad-j
vcneed f.o ward him again in a threat- j
ening position and that he again j
struck 'Morgan with pitch fork. Hei
said that he then went Home ana i
sent for Dr. Moore, and Dr. Moore!
dressed his wound?his (Wilson's;
wound. Then he and Dr. Moore came!
pn to see about the negro.' (When
they got to where the negro was they
found the negro dead. That he then
went immediately to town to give up.
He said that he and the negro were
together in bottoms cutting grass. ?
CANNON G. BLEASE.
>To Whom It May Concern:
This certifies that I have examined
the body of Coley Morgan and find j
that he came to his death by a blow j
received on the top of his head irac-1
turing the skull. {
E. H. MOORE, M. D.
July 5, 1317.
We, the following jurors, hereby
2nd that Coley Morgan came to his
death at the hands of H. C. Wilson.
Homicide justifiable.

J. E. Sease, Jas. W. Johnson. L.
M. Player, J. T. Mayes.
After Mr. Wilson had come in and
surrendered of his own accord and
had been committed to jail as a simple
matter of formality, he did not
have to remain in prison any longer
than it took his counsel, Mr., H. H.
Blease, to accomplish his Telease,
which was done quickly, as within a
few hours after the return of the ver
diet the prisoner \;as discharged from
the custody of the sheriff. He was
admitted to bail in the sum of $,1000,
the bond being signed by B. W. Wilson
and B. A. Havird. A number ^>f
men of affluence and influence had
volunteered to sign the bond.
It is rumored on the street that the
difficulty grew out of the world war
that is now claiming the attention of
all neonle. Wilson and the negro
were at ?/ork in the field by themselves,
when the negro remarked
that when all the white men were taken
away from here the negroes were
going to take the white women and
the property of white men and do as
they pleased, with both. Wilson remarked,
"You need not be so certain
about this." Morgan then said, "I'll
just get rid of you now," and attacked
Wilson with the -grass blade.
