Watson’s cuaed or being bis slay respective rdatves are known to ev erybody throughout Iroquois county and even beyond Its limits. , Immediately after the crime was committed, on July 11, 1909, popu lar feeling in the county was so strong, that it would have been prac tically Impossible to obtain a Jury of twelve unbiased men to try the three persona charged with the murder. •Bat since then the excitement has " - .cooled down considerably and it is -hstlsved that the feiectiop of the wiif'not be exceedingly difll- .cult. The accused, having wealthy family connection, will be represent ed by the sfrfr«^nT^ could p JP^Ie and no efforf will be to aave them from conviction, which would mean hanging or life long Imprisonment. The persons to be tried for the murder of John Byron Sayler, the Cresent City banker and live stock broker, are Dr. William F. Miller, Mm Lucy Sayler, the widow of the murdered man and her father, John Grunder. Ira Grunder, a brother of Mrs. Sayler, is also under indictment merly ae an accessory after the State's attorney John C. Pal- llsaard will conduct the prosecution and he professes to feel sure of the conviction of the accused. John Bryon Sayler was ki'led in his own house by William R. Miller about ten o’clock on the nlrht of July 11, IVW. The dofenc-i will clstm that the deed was an act of self defense and that Dr. Miller dil not fire t$e fatal shots until after ‘fayler had attacked with a hat chet The prosecution, however, will try to prove that the act was pre meditated murder and 'was the re- milt of a conspiracy between Dr. * . Miller, Hra. Sayler and her father. It appears that for many years, Dr. Miller and Mm Sayler ent rtaln ed intimate relations whloh w \-o tue talk of the town and caused the com muntty socially to ostracise both the doctor and his affinity. It is known that Sayler, the victim of the mur der, had knowledge of the relatlyns existing between hia wife and Or. Miller for meny years, but that for the sake of hia daughter he refrain ed from taking legal steps to ob tain a divorce. Dr. Miller’s wife, a lovable and hignly respected woman, also knew ef the scandalous relations of her hatband, but would not seek eepei- stlon, fearing that the scandal con nected with a divorce suit would _ blight the life ef her boy. t — Tt Is said that Dr. Miller and his affinity made several attempts to rid themselves of their respective legal partners and even Ivied to inveigle Sayler into the appearance of an entaglement with Mm Miller, but failed in every Instance. It Is be lieved and will be charged by the prosecution that becoming desperate the doctor and his affinity resorted to the extreme remedy of killing the man who stood in their way. Wbat happened at the Sayler res idence on the night of the murder only the persons charged with the murder know. They claim that Say- ' , ler came Into the room In which Mm. Sayler, her father and Dr. Mil ler were about to play a game of cards, that they urged him to J^n ’ the game, but that he refuy^^ffin er provocation attacked r with a hatchet. They insist that Dr. Miller merely ed upon the Wisconsin atatute was also adopted. x * • For the farm demonstration work, so successfully managed In the State by Mr. Ira W. Williams, an appro priation of t5,OQO to supplement the national appropriation was made— a good example for other States.

Bride Takes Her Hubby to Court for Keeping Thirty Oents. “When I married Sam," said Mrs. Fanny Bookbinder in a New York police court, "he promised to pro vide for me and Saturday night his pay envelope was 30 cents short.” Mrs. Bookbinder Is a bride of eight days. Although she has a personal bank account of $1,000, which she refuses to share with Sam, she haul ed him Into court on representations that he had treated her cruelly. "Sam make $20 a week,” she con tinued, "and I want every cent of It If he needs anything. I’ll get it for him. 1 know what’s due a wife and that’s why I brought him here.” "Suppose your husband wants a cl gar?" suggested the magistrate. "I’ll buy It for him,” repeated Mrs. Bookbinder firmly. The magistrate laughed outright ’“Then go home and make up your mind,” he said, ”to do as your hus band tells you and take what he gives you. And don’t'you come be fore me again with such redlculous oharges. Case dismissed ” . The pair left court, arm In arm, and there was no sign of a cloud to dim their honeymoon. YOUTHFUL BIGAMIST. I* Only Twenty-One Years of Age Has Three Wlvea. The first case taken up in the Greenwood court last week was that of the state against George H. Mose ley, charged with bigamy. The de fendant pleaded guilty and was given a sentence of one year in the peniten tiary. This case Is rather Interest ing in view of tbe fact that the young man Is only twenty-one years old and has been married three times. He married the first time In Honea Path, the aecond time at Greenwood, and .the last time at ■Ninety-Six, all of the towns being in a radius of about twenty-six miles.

A hostile demonstration on the floor of the cotton exchange at Man chester, England, and one directly contrasting it for friendliness on the corn exchange at Liverpool were met with Friday by James A. Patten, the Chicago wheat" and cotton operator In the first Mr. Patten was mobbed and probably escaped injury o^ly by being rescued by the police; in the after V9~WSi greeted with 'cheers and OTfiSf msnlirestafTons oT friendliness. Mr. Patten sailed from Liverpool Sat urday for New York on board the Cunard line steamer Mauretania. The brief visit to England of the Chicago operator hao been spent mostly about the Liverpool markets and Friday he made up his mind to run over to Manchester to B»e /rhe city and visit the cotton exchange It was known to Mr. Patteh that there had been threats of an unpleas ant reception should he, visit "Cot tonopolis,” but he refused to believe they would be carried Into effect These threats, it is said, emanated from persons oft the exchange who had lost large sums as a result of Mr Patten’s^ operations In Chicago, and from others, who held him re sponsible for Thursday’s rise in the price Of cotton and who believed that his visit to England had for ts pur pose the manipulation of the mar ket.

The. crowd followed even here and did not desist its manifes tation of dislike until the American had been placed in a cab by the po lice and started for the railway sta tion, where he took the first train hack to Liverpool. While unhurt h* was greatly surprised and irritated at the dislike the people of Mai cheater had shown for him. Arriving in Liverpool, Mr. Patten just had time to visit the corn ex change before it closed for the day The floor was crowded with mem hers, who evinced their Sympathy for him for the treatment that had been shown him in Manchester by taking off their hats and cheering him when he referred to the Incident • public in tbft several offices.

The farmers of the State, accord ing to the number of tax tags sold are using more fertilizer this year than in the past, says the Columbia State. The books in the State teras- urer’s office show that since the first of the year the sum of $154,46T.38 has been received for tags. This is over $12,000 more, than was received at this time last yer. The amount received to date last year was $1 42,147.37. The total amount received from the fertilizer tax tags last year was $202,741.31 This money goes to Clemson col lege. There is a tax of 25 cents on every ton of fertilizer sold In the State. It was said Thursday that the fer tilizer kx>mpanit*s aik rushing all orders and the fact may account for the increased sale, but it is believed that the growth of intensive farm ing is the real cause.

But in the years when there is no presidential election, as this year, the work ®f the conven tion is apt to be merely a routine de claration of principles. The State executive committee handles the business of the party. It meets at the call of the chairman—a position held for years by General Wllie Jones, the member from Richland county. The State committee arranges for the primary election, the first election to be held on the last Tuesday in August—August 30th, this year— and the second primary, If one be necessary, . two weeks later—Sep tember 13th, this year. The commit tee also fixes the schedule for the campaign meetings. In those years In which there la an election for United States sena tor there are two campaign parties, one composed of the candidates for governor and all State offices, and the other of candidates for senator, congress and solicitor. Each party must speak“lh each county of the State. This year there will be no cam paign for the Senate. The State campaign usually opens about the middle of June and lasts until about the middle of August, The indications are that there will be several candidates for governor but few have been announced for the other State offices. In the race for governor the avow ed candidates are; C. C. Feather- stone of Laurens; T. G. McLeod of l*ee; John G. Richards, of Kershaw. Other possibilities of Richard I. Man ning of Sumter; F. H. Hyatt of Rich land and Cole L. Bleaae of New berry. There may be others. The only announced candidate for lieutenant governor is C. A. Smith of Florence. Both Governor Ansel and Lieutenant Governor McLeod each having served two terms, retire from their respective offices, but the other State officials will stand for reelec tion, as follows; Secretary of State, R. M. McCown; attorney general, J. Fraser Lyon; comptroller general, A. W. Jones; State treasurer, R. H. Jennings; ad jutant general, J. C. Boyd. For railroad oommlsioner to suc ceed Major John H.

Y., say that political leaders and legis lators. national and State, who were In attendance on the funeral of for mer United States Senator Thomas C. Platt, found an opportunity for an exchange of views on the political situation at Albany. The Allds-Conger bribery scandal, and tbe Senate leadership contest were quietly discussed by former Governor Odell, Chairman Woodruff, of the Republican State Committee; Representative Dwight, the Republi can "whip” in the lower house at Washington, and representative Sloat Faasett, and other Republican legis lators from Washington and Albany. The delegation from Washington brought word that the feeling in Administration circles favored Hin- man's election. Albany retorted that such action was unlikely, and it was hinted that a hitherto unmentioned candidate might be put forth as a Compromise. It Is apparent that Senator Cobb's supporters, who In clude Chairman Woodruff and Wm. Barnes. Jr., the Albany leader, in tends to press his candidacy at the conference at Albany. That the situtlon within the Re publican party at Albany is causing grave concern was adimUed by the leaders. STjety bet ter than new. 25c a doz. Double Edge Blades, 30c. 50,000 repeating customers.
