THE AFTERMATH j . .My 8-days wrestle with the flu end| ed last week. It was a terrible scuft fie. As soon as I felt better in my i left leg, a thousand pains broke loose l in my right ear. But the next day, i the aches landed right ker-dab in the i middle of my chest. Pain and misery played hide-and-seek in my anatomy jfor 10 days. . . Betwixt coughs and sneezes and moans and groans, my sweet little nurse took my temperature and counted my pulse and looked out the window. The doctor came twice a day and changed my medicine twice a day so's it would show that he was really trying to do something. . .It looks like I proved a terrible disappointment to our 3 leading undertakers. All of them sent regards frequently to me by their friends and mine. I don't know which one of them would have had the pleasure of laying me away, but now, all of them will simply have to wait. I can say this for them: they all 3 have plenty nice designs and sweet-smelling embalming fluids. . .The flu seems to be a ctosb betwixt the rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago, nervous prostration, bumble - bee stings, bad colds, croup, brown-kitis, nostril deflation and mental perturbation. And things don't taste right either. The steak I had for lunch today made me feel like I was chawing up the rubber mat that we sit the flower pot on in front of the looking glass on the dresser. ..Everybody was good to me during my illness except the men I owe, they just kept right on sending me duns. The stock in the drug store I bought my medicine from advanced from 4 to 6, but the par value is 100. The check I gave the nurse for services rendered cleared at the bank all right. We ha*e good bankers in our town. But I have idver got my nose completely unstopped. I think I will get a plumber to drill it out for me !State Takes Lives of Three Negro Slayers For the third time in 14 months South Carolina yesterday took the lives of three people for crimes calling for the death penalty. Friday it was Jaipes Jones, 24, James Arthur Ducks, 26, of Aiken county, and William Sanders, who claimed to be 14 years old but who looked somewhat older, of York county. The two first named were cousins and had killed a 68-year old white man, Charles Green, from whom they took about $400 after hitting him in the head with clubs Green died five or six days afterwards from pneumonia. Will Sanders, who said his?real name was Mongomery, killed a 68-year-old white maiden woman of York county, I for whom ho had cut somo wood, but refused to draw some water for her, and becoming enraged by her insistence he beat her to death with an ax handle. He said he had been mad several times before but never so j mad as he was then, and that he would not have done the deed if he had taken his mother's advice and controlled his temper. * Capt. C. A. Sullivan of Jfne penitentiary guard had chargs/of the executions. He had askyd the prison chaplain, the Rev. Sj^C. Phillips of Arsenal Hill Presbyterian church and the assistant negro chaplain, the Rev. T. H. Broadus, to have .their devotions in the cells with prisoners, so as to avoid any dramatic scenes that would add to the tenseness of the actual executions. This was done and the tragic endings of the lives of the three men were accomplished in silence except only for the mumbled prayers of the three who sat in the chair, one after the other, and a few words from each. There were about 60 witnesses, 20 to each execution. No relative of Sanders was present, and he was buried by the state in the Tickelbury cemetery, on the banks of the Broad river where convicts are buried. His mother and father had written they could not come. The father of James Arthur Dicks, Isaac Cummings, and the grandfather of James Jones, John A. Jones, were present to claim the bodies of the son and grandson and they were taken to Aiken in coffins furnished by the state in the truck in which Cummings and Jones had come to Columbia. Before the executions Chaplain Phillips called upon the spectators to consider the solemnity of the occasion and to observe the amenites. Both ministers had done their work well, art'd the negro chaplain, the Rev. T. H. Broadus, the day before the. execution, said after the Baptism of! Sanders that he felt sure the three j had made their peace with God, and j that they would go to the death chair" sustained by Christian faith.. This expectation was fulfilled and the three men marched from the prison cells to the death chamber with unemotional fortitude. The executions of the three, with adjustments of the electric apparatus, and the exits and entrances of the three sets of witnesses and the yard of the penitentiary was cleared of all visitors within one hour after 7 o'clock, the hour for the beginning of the executions. A brother and three nephews of Miss Stephenson witnessed Sanders' execution, and five nephews of XJreen saw his slayers put to death. Sanders apparently did not close his eyes when the head-piece was placed on him, for he said: "Wait a minute, let me shut my eyes." A readjustment was made. He said, "Now," and the executioner threw the switch. The American Civil Liberties union and the National Association for Advancement of Negro People had urged Governor Blackwood to commute Sanders' sentence. Dr. E. L. Horger, clinical director of the State hospital, had reported the Negro sane, but with the mentality of a normal seven of eight year old child. The average Negro adult has a technical nine year old mind. Jones died mumbling a prayer. He had said: "We ain't got but one way to come here, but we got all sorts of ways to leave, and I got to go this way." Dicks, saying he was "ready to go," added, "Tell my folks to meet me in Heaven."?Saturday's State. next week. . I believe I had the old model flu, the 1919-1920 type. It started off in high, but soon back-fired. The first day my temperature stood at about 102, but after the second day, it went to around 96 in the shade and stayed there. I got so weak at times it took me and 3 other fellowB 6 minutes to sneeze just once. Several thoughtless friends brought me whiskey for medicinal purposes, bless their dear, sweet souls. I am all O. K. How and hope to go back to work with plenty strength of mind, character and rim, but I will be weak financially for m long titte. Lee Jury Frees Oscar McCaskill Bishopville, March 6,?Lee county criminal court convened hero today with a full docket. Judge H. F. Rice, of Aiken, is presiding at this term with Frank A. McX?eod as solicitor. Tho grand jury was in session all day and the only case of importance was i tho acquittal of Oscar McCaskill, young whito man now working in Lancaster, charged with the death of Oliver Hall, white man of the Lucknow section of Lee county. Several months ago Hall is alleged i to have curse<l McCaskill and to have, advanced on him with something in, his hand. McCaskill hit him over the head with an automobile crank and Hall died five days later. Solicitor McLeod asked for a verdict of manslaughter and the' defense lawyer, j H. C. Jennings, basts! his case on | self defense. The jufy was out 45 minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. Mrs. McCaskill, a bride of a month, was with her husband in the court room. Death of Mrs. Copeland Mrs. Abbigal Cqpeland, well known resident of Kershaw, died early Wednesday morning at her home in that town after a lingering illness. Fun-; eral services were held on Wednesday afternoon from the residence with Rev. Tucker and Rev. Bradley officiating. Deceused was about 70 years of age and she leaves a large number of relatives in the county who were deeply grieved at her death. Two sons, Edward Copeland and B. F. Copeland, live at Kershaw while another son, Y. L. Copeland, lives at Clinton. One daughter, Mrs. Eva Hendrix, of Marion, also survives her. Mrs. Copeland was known to many people in Lancaster who were shocked to hear of her death.?Lancaster News. Three women of a gypsy tribe have been jailed in Atlanta, (la., after having "blessed" money of negroes, the blessing making the money disappear. There was much wailing when the gypsy women were convicted. The Maryland house of delegates has. before it a resolution calling on the president of the United States to issue "full and unconditional pardons to all citizens convicted under the Volstead law." Roscoe P. Copeland, father of Senator Copeland of New York, died at his home at Dexter, Mich., Tuesday afternoon, aged 07 years. Stevenson Is Named For Home Loan Bank (P. H. McGowan in Columbia State) Washington, March 0.-?With the speed of a Seaboard Air Line express* for which road he was counsel before he came to congress 10 years ago, the senate today lost no time in confirming the nomination of Former Congressman William F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, whose nomination President Koosevelt sent to the senate for a position on the Home Iawu Hank board. . . Mr. Stevenson terminated his service in the house last Saturday* losing his place in the South Carolina primary of last August to John P. Richards* of Lancaster, who is now in Washington. He was immediately sworn in. . Mr. Stevenson had been a member of the house banking and currency committee for several years and when the Democrats took over the house machinery about two years ago ho was made chairman of the committee on printing. Among tho bills that claimed Mr. Stevenson's attention as a member of the banking and currency committee thero were many looking to the rehabilitation of banking conditions generally. He is thoroughly familiar with the problems with which he will be fucetl. This nomination, excepting that of Daniel C. Roper for secretary of commerce, is the first official recognition from the White House of men from the Palmetto State. It has boen known for some time that Mr. Stevenson had tho indorsement for this place but it was not believed that President Roosevelt would act as quickly as he did today in sending the nomination to the senate. Others are expected to follow in a few days. In Anderson county, the topers are using bay rum, rubbing alcohol and verinol tablets almost exclusively, the sheriff says. Tho Anderson chamber of commerce has abandoned plans for a county cannery, because not enough farmers would pledge production of truck crops. Italy has allotted $63,120,000 for tho electrification of its State railways. A party of 15 Cubans were arrested at Tavernier, Fla., Tuesday, charged with attempting illegal entry into the United States. Farmers Bring' Suit For Damages A big lawsuit, remarkable for the number of plaintiffs, the prominenco of the defendant, the amount of money involved and the principles of law invoked, is being started in the common pleas court here. Over 60 farmers in York and Lancaster counties are suing the Duke Power company and its subsidiary for a total of $200,000 or $000,000, for damages done to their farms below the big India Hook dam, by the operation of that big engineering work. Aipong the first things done in developing a wator-power in a river is to buy from landowners above the site tjie land overflowed by the dam, or the right to overflow it, and usually a wide margin of safety on each side of the river is included in such purchases. Hut little attention is paid to riparian owners below the dam, as a rule und seldom are their overflow or flood rights bought by a power company. These suits here will test '?* the rights of a dam owner to releaso waves of water over the dam to go down stream und overflow riparian owners of farms down stream. While there are and will be a multiplicity of suits in the York circuit court, each and all of them are practically alike, except in the damages claimed by each land owner, which varies from $1,000 upward in the different cases. The claim in each caso is, that thq power company by opening gates in the India Hook dam in time of a flood on the river, sent excessive water down which drowned the farm land below to the damago of land and crops.?Yorkyille Enquirer. The house on Wednesday by a vote of ?0 to 36 threw out the entire proposed item in the treasury-post office appropriation bill for the maintenance of the airmail service.
