upon the person of Walter C. Davis.
This was one of two indictments giv

gravated nature was returned. The
defendant was given a sentence of
one year’s imprisonment or a money

during the week’s work. Prelo Lloyd.
Henry Barksdale and Charlie Griffin,
three young negro hoys, were tried
for the murder of an old negro, Abra
ham Alexander, in the - upper part of
the county. H,enry Barksdale and
Charlie Griffin, who made a partial
confession, were found guilty of mur

the court. They were represented by
C. Y. Brown and P. D. Huff,- young
barristers of the court, who put up
an able defense hut could do no more
than save them from the electric chair.
Prelo Loyd, who claimed an alibi, was
represented by W. R. Richey, Sr., re

from cities and towns of the state. Ac
cording to the construction put uiwn
Major Workman's message, the 118th
will likely land in Charleston about
the first or middle of next week.
Cables were also received in An
derson yesterday from their husbands
by Mrs. P. K. McCully, wife of Colonel
McCully,, the commanding officer of
the 118th, and Mrs. R. .1. Ramer, wife
of the captain of the machine gun
company of the regiment, to the effect
that they had sailed for Amen, a

With this, information * at hand,
there can ho little doubt but that
these local veterans of many battles
are at last on their way home and
that, upon their arrival here, they
will be demobilized at Camp Jackson
within a pretty short while.

tain. As yet, no organized effort has
been made locally to send a delega

of Greenville to the port to greet the
members of this regiment which saw
service on the Mexican border, and in
training at Camp Sevier and then

Company A of the 118th is the old
Butler, Guard company, Greenville’s
own. In the fighting .this company
lost several men and suffered many
casualties, as did every organization

These are QUALITY Waists and
by quality in this, connection we
mean all that the word implies.
They are of unbelievably high qual
ity for the modest price at which
theyr’e sold; they are made of
QUALITY fabrics; the WORK
MANSHIP is EXCELLENT; and
the FIT as PERFECT as can be.
They are unconditionally and unre
servedly guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction. Even tho you
ordinarily buy more costly Blouses,
it is wise economy to acquire the
Wirthmor habit, for by having in
one’s wardrobe a few of these de-
lightfully simple and pretty models
for everyday wear the more costly
blouses can be saved for the more
dress-up occasions.
You can never know just how good a Waist a
small sum can buy until you have worn a
Wirthmor. Only one good store in each city
can sell them and they are sold here only..
Charming new styles go on sale tomorrow.
