Patrolman Who Killed His Wife is Acquitted. # % News and Courier. Columbia, Sept. 19.?A vefdict of "not guilty" was returned shortly after midnight by the jury in the i case of Eugene m. Lancaster, motorcycle policeman of the Columbia police, force, on trial for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Allie B. Lancaster. The killing occurred on May 28th of this year, at which time Lancaster also shot to death Newton S. Lorick, his wife's companion in an automo bile. Lancaster is still to lace trial i for the killing of Lorick, but this case will not come up at the present term of ?ourt. Though locked up for the night .about 10:30 o'clock, the jury let it be known about 11:30 that a verdict had been reached, and officials of the court returned to receive it. It was read shortly after 12 o'clock. Lancaster himself was the principal witness of the closing day of the fviol TTp tpstifiprl that his mind was a. perfect blank after he fired the first shot at the couple when they approached in an automobile from the Congaree river bridge. The motorcycle policeman, facing a courtroom which was jammed to > suffocation, made his statement as to the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the double tragedy. At n the trial with him were members of his family, including two of his * * 1 'All - J LJ young sons ana-ms ntue aaugiiLet , > the latter being taken out when anything bearing on the alleged infidelity of her mother was brought out. Lancaster said when he got out of the automobile, his wife threw up both hands and said to Lorick, "My God, Newt, there is Eugene." ' DR. Z. T. CODY SAILS FOR WAR TORN EUROPE - " _ _ J r Greenville, Sept. 19.?Dr. Z. T. Cody, one of the editors of the Baptist Courier, has left for New York from which city he sails within a few days as a member of the commission from the Southern Baptist convention appointed to make an investigation of the religious needs of the war-torn countries of Europe. The commission is to report to the con " ? ? i* J vention next May its nnamgs, aim this report will be the basis of the convention's plans for work to be done in foreign fields with part of the $75,000,000 to be raised November 30 to December 7. Upon his departure from Greenville, Dr. Cody wired a parting message to Dr. L. R. Scarborough, director general.of the drive, in Nashville, Tenn., in which he said in part: "Tgo in the confidence that our peo?anion mnro fVlQTl 9AT^ntV ?J1C SJUOil lauc iuviv vu?u ? w five millions ere the journey is over, and that Southern Baptists will enter these appealing and inviting fields, promptly and adequately."

Henderson, secretary of the Southern Baptist Laymen's movement; and Dr. Everett Gill, missionary to Italy. During Dr. Codv's absence from ; >? Greenville, Dr. H. W.

Senator Johnstone is greatly interested in the fight being made for better prices for cotton and thinks -- " '1 - 1 ? if the tarmers ian/io namue uic situation this year, they alone, are blamable. All the producers have to do, he believes, is to sit steady and not be stampeded by the present fluctuations of the market. Senator Johnstone has a distinguished public service record. He was a member of the city council of Newberry four years; trustee of the city schools of Newberry 16 years; turtee j of Clemson college 28 years, now being president of the board; two years in the lower house of the general assembly and is now serving his third term in the senate, which brings his. legislative career up to 14 years. ^ Mrs. Gildersleeve (looking at a portrait)?But that beautiful thing isn't a picture of Miss Gumlings, the ^homely nurse?

Not, However, the Seat of the Kaiser's Authority, as One Mig^t Rest sonably Suppose. In order to understand where the throne of Satan came from and how it came to .Berlin, it is necessary iu open the pages of ancient history and renew our acquaintance with Pergamura. Pergamum (Pergamos orPergamon) was the ancient capital of Mysia, in Asia Minor. It wak about three miles north of the Caicus river and fifteen or twenty miles from the Aegean sea. Under the Greek rule of Attains I (241-197 B. C.) it became not only a powerful city but also the center of the artistic and literary life of Asia. Attalus built many wonderful temples, altars and monuments t^at attracted the attention of the entire world. His son Euinenes II (197-159 B. C.)'carried on the policy of his father. He founded the famous Pergamum library, which cont\ined 200,000 volumes. This library was later removed to Egypt by Antony and presented by him to Cleopatra. Attalus III bequeathed his treasures and the kingdom of which Pergamum was the capital to Rome, and so, at his death, in 133 B. C., it became a Roman province. This was the first Roman province on Asiatic soil. Carl Humann, a civil engineer, who had traveled in Asia Minor, induced the Berlin museum to fit out an expedition to excavate for the hidden" fKflociiPoc QT?r?ionf- Porfflmnm. In U ^aouxvo Vi. U1BV4VMV A ? 1886, at the close of the third campaign, Humann and a friend named Conze unearthed the great altar and the site of the library. Subsequent expeditions uncovered many treasures. The great altar was shipped, piece by piece, to Berlin ?nd re-erected in the Kaiser Friedricli museum. A few parts of It are in Constantinople. However, the central and main por* * fhnnnA !c in RftHl'll LIUU Ui oauiu O UIIVUI^ ia 111 With the throne of Satan in Berlin ft is not difficult to understand the military ambitions and actions of the German government. France's Big Families. Notwithstanding all that* is said about the depopulation of France, large families are by no means scarce in certain rural parts of the country. A society for the encouragement of large families publishes a report giving tha munoc nf families in the department of the Loire-Inferieure, each of which has had more than six sons or sons-in-law with the colors. At the head of the list is the Marlot family, of which twenty-two members? nine sons, three sons-in-law and ten grandsons?have joined the army. .Four of them were killed, four wounded, one died in'captivity, and one is missing. Four won the crolx de guerre. Numerous other famines in tne at. Nazalre district have had from six to twelve sons and grandsons at the front. The 587 families named furnished 4,015 soldiers to' the army.? Lexington Herald. Treat 'Em Rough. This applies to all garden Insects, for none of them are there with an honest purpose, says the National War Garden commission in a bulletin. If you discover that one or more hills of your canteloupes are infested with plant lice, the only thing to do is to null thft nlnnts ud and carry them off and burn them. But in doing so you should put them in a-tight receptacle of some kind so that none of the lice drop off and get on other plants for they will multiply rapidly and you will have part of your fight over again. " As for squash bugs if they begin to suck sap until their skins burst, spray ^the canteloupe vines with nicotine sulphate, soap and water. Old squash bugs can be trapped under pieces of board placed near the plants. They will hide at night under these boards and may be killed in the morning. Soldiers'* Swear Words. Despite the chaplains, the men developed the habit of swearing; soldiers always have. War requires emphatic expression. It destroys flexibility of expression?and "<Jamn" and "hell" do seem the fullest description of a soldier's occupation. "It's an innocent kind of swearing, though," said a chaplain. "It does not really blaspheme, and the men will fall out of the habit when they return 1 ?> ^ a*. /I/\ if ir\ n r? ?\1 ? * in'c IlUIli^. 1I1CJ UUU I UU It 111 i I V. i Klj'idiii o presence?unless they are under fire, when chaplains are too busy to attend to such details." They did not swear when they were in the presence of women?and least of all in the hospitals where they were ministered to by those hard working, practical, noble fcrmy nurses who submitted to discipline as sharp as that of the men, and where they learned to appreciate womanhood at Its best. Walks Upside Down. Because he walks upside down as well as right side up, the black-andwhite warbler is also frequently called the black-and-white creeper, says the American Forestry association of Washington, which is conducting the national birdhouse building contest. This bird lias been called a symphony in block and white because of the beautiful manner in which these two colors ore used over his body. His j head Is bnrred black and white with ; n white stripe over each eye; he has wing bars on each wihjj: and th^ inner I tfrtl.ci s\-f hio i intiJi' to ! | foot OTP I ? MI II JO VUiV!

The visible results of his worl here were twenty additions to th< church on profession of faith, the en tire community helped forward, an< a warm spot found in every hear for him.
