roinr^Tr A*yM Penalty,
Co umb.a, Aug1. 27,-^ohn Cooper,
Charleston county negro, paid the
dMth penalty at the state penitentiary
his morning for the murder of Louis
L. Smith, clerk in the store of Spiro
Constan, near Charleston. 'Just as he
was strapped in the chair hy reiterated
the statement mad* to the prison
chaplain, Rev. J. bean {Jraln, early
this morning, and gave a signed and
sworn statement yesterday, that the
two other negroes,, Andrew VVatkjns
and Ivldie Washington, now serving
long terms for complicity in the murder
of Smith arc not guilty of any
part in the crime. He declared that
he had brought them into it in the
hope that appearing to turn state evidence
against them he would get off
with light imprisonment Instead of
death. Lawyers from Charleston conferred
with Watkins and Washington
today and will seek a pardon for them.
The negro was pronounced dead at
6:80 o'clock, a few minutes after the
current was sent through his body.
His body was to be sent to Charleston
for burial beside that of his wife.
Lord, remember me," were, the last
words of the dying negro, muttered
as the current coursed through his
body.

man was at liberty to use it..
Prior to moving to Fort Mill a few
years ugo Capt. .Springs had spent
his entire life within a few miles of
Major Richards' home at Liberty Hill.
He has kuown Major Richards for
years and spoke of him as a "thoroughly
honest and sincere man ufhol

ef the people of our state will center!
upon Major. Richards as the man to
succeed Governor McLeod. I am con-1
fident he will be elected. I wish there
was some way for me to help Major
Richards because ^ie is worthy of
