support. The plan provides, first for,
the payment of mortgages amounting
to a total of -57,800 on the church

of which obligations will leave the
way. clear for starting on the new
bu i Mine cam paign.

was submitted to the govesnoi
relative to the conduct of Sanders:.
"Before me comes E. M. O'Bryant^
who being duly sworn, says that for
many months prior to October 16,.
1919, he was policeman for the city
of Anderson, S. C.; that on or about
the night of October 16, 1919, while
away from his home in said city, on
duty, he had occasion to go to his-,
home unexpectedly; that upon arriving
there he found that his wife "was.
not in their bedroom, but found asa- .
other bedroom locked, and demanding
admittance, he discovered Sheriff J..
Olin Sanders in there with deponent's .
wife, and both admitted that they had
there been guilty of illicit sexual relations;
that when deponent entered
the room, the said Sanders covered
him with a pistol; told him, deponent,
if he moved he would kill him, and
kept deponent covered with the pisto}
\7ntil he (Sanders) left the house."
