The State SENT HER TO JAIL MISS BELLE YOB IS HELD IK CON TEMPT OP COURT. She Refuses to Vacate Lands, and Judge Seaae Imposes Prison Sen tence of Thirtj Days. A most unusual event In South Carolina court happenings was the commitment to jail at Greenwood Wednesday morning of Miss Belle Yoe by order of Judge Sease for con tempt, of court. She was adjudged in cootenapi-of court becatnre Bhe ha.d ^ TTr ^ stearner Yort Morgan, which refused to vacate certain lands con demned by the town of Greenwood, sueh condemnation being recently af firmed by the supreme court Judge Sease Issued a rule Tuesday for Miss Yoe to show cause why she should not be adjudged'in contempt of court. In answer to the rule Miss Yoe appeared in court Wednesday morning and when questioned by-his onor stated that thb had not been contemptuous but always very re spectful to the court. Judge Sease then recited the case to her and the affirmation of the verdict of the cir- ult court by the State supreme court and asked why she did not obey the order of the court and move oft the condemned lands. Miss Yoe answer ed that It was her home, left her by her parents. Judg® Sease ordered sheriff to take charge of her and commit her to jail for a period of 30 lays for contempt of court, but added hat If she decided to obey the court's trder to vacate that she would be iberated Miss Yoe readily accompanied the leputy sheriff, D. T. Major, to the isil, where she now Is. Coming Into court she brought with her a large nouquet of flowers. She laid these 'own on the outside before going in. hut when she came out she picked ’em up and carried them on to jail vith her. Ofi the way over she asked bat would be the ou'come at the nd'of 30 days Whether that is an ndl-ation that she means to remain be 30 days is not known. To insist upon occupying tne prem- ses on her release would doubtless can constant arrest and imprison- nent, since the court has ad’udged er in contempt.

The peaks were southeast ii' the Fort Morgan and are called the Chiriqui. The peak that became ac- ive was the highest of the number, i s height being estimated at 2,340 feet above sea level.

They feel that the artist has done his work well and believe that the people of South Carolina, who entrusted us with its direction will likewise most fully and heartily approve. “Befbre you stands the proof that South Carolina in her hours of woe and distress had grand Daughters. Just on the opposite side of the State house, raising its head to high heav en is the evidence that she also had valiant Sons, who willingly “died for their country.’ 1 Between these two memorials towers the State house, the seat of South Carolina’s sovereignty, the home of her great ness.

It pictures tliat in life and in death her Sons ant her Daughters, amidst all danger and all trouble have gathered around her, ready to do and to die that she may live.
