APPEAL IN THE HASTY CASE.
flan Who Killed Two Members of Theatrical
Company in Gaffney Takes
Case to Supreme Court.
In the supreme court, seventh circuit,
there is a notice of appeal in the
case of the State against Geo. Hasty,
of Gaffney.' The case will be well remembered
not only in the South but
all over the country.
Hasty was the brother of the proprietor
of the Piedmont hotel at
Gaffney and on December 15, 1905,
he killed Milan Bennett and W. C. j
Davidson, members of the "Nothing j
But Money" theatrical company, Decause
they resented alleged insults
offered by Hasty to Miss Verne Sheridan,
also a member of the company.
At a trial in March of the present year
Hasty was a given a life sentence.
The appeal is made on several
grounds \and there are 15 exceptions
filed. \i is contended by Hasty's attorneys
that Judge Memminger
erred in not quoting the indictment
in that it "appeared on the face
thereof that it charged the crime of
murder and charged that the alleged
crime was committed with a pistol
and, therefore, it was necessary that
the indictment should contain a
* 1 _ *
special count cnarging carrying 01
concealed weappns, was not contained
therein."
It is also contended that the verdict
of the court was illegal in that court
was held after the end of the fourth
week in February and there was no
authority for same.
The other exceptions are upon alleged
errors In the judge's charge.
TILLMAN TO DEMAND INQUIRY.
He is Expected to Follow Up His Criticism of
the President's Action in Dismissing
Negro Troops.
It is understood here (at Washington)
that Senator Tillman will introduce
a resolution in Congress calling
for an investigation of President
Roosevelt's action in dismissing from
the army without honor and without
trial by court-martial three negro
companies, some of whose members
committed murder at Brownsville,
Texas.
Senator Tillman has not yet arrived
in Washington and it is impossible to
verify this rumor, but it is believed
that his speech in Chicago indicates!
that he will take such action. i
A Republican politician in discussing
the report to-day said:
"If Tillman does introduce an investigating
resolution it will be the j
smartest thing he has done since he
became a Senator. It will 'put the
Republicans in a hole. It will hush
Republican criticism of the President |
and force Congressmen and Senators
of his party to stand by him practically
to a man in his action in dismissing
the negro troops. Tillman is
shrewd enough to see that such will
be the effect of introduction by him
of a resolution providing for an inquiry
into the Brownsville affair."?

He Was the Boy.
A publisher who occupies a loft in
Seventeenth street directed one of
his clerks to hang out a "Boy
"T , U? _ * _ J. J.1 i I.
wanted sign at uie street enucuitc
a few days ago. The card had been
swinging in the breeze only a few
minutes when a red-haired little lad
climbed to the publisher's office with
the sign under his arm. "Say, mister,"
he demanded of the publisher,
"did youse hang out this here 'Boy
Wanted' sign?"
"I did," replied the publisher
sternly. "Why did you tear it
down?"
Back of his freckles the youngster
was gazing in wonder at the man's
stupidity.
"Hully gee!" he blurted, "why,
I'm the boy!"
And he was.
Expensive Economy.
I have seen a lady spoil a pair of
fine gloves trying to rescue a nickel
from a mud^puddle. Several people
have been run over by street cars or
teams in New York while trying to
rescue a dropped package, a hat, an
umbrella or a cane.
A Paris bank clerk, who was carrying
a bag of gold through the streets,
dropped a 10-franc piece which rolled
from the sidewalk. He set his
bag down to look for the lost piece,
and while he was trying to extricate
it from the gutter some one stole his
bag and ran away with it.
"Alas!" confessed the penitent
man, "in a moment of weakness I
stole a carload of brass fittings."
"In a moment of weakness!" exclaimed
the judge. "Goodness, man!
What would you have taken if you
had yielded in a moment when you
felt strong?"

DEATH SENTENCE IMPOSED
R. A. ADAMS, SLAYER OF JACQUES, MUST
HANG FOR HIS CRIME.
Says He is Ready to Die?First Friday in Janu*
uary is the Day Set for Execution.
Famous Case Closed.
Walterboro, Nov. 30.?R. A.
Adams, the famous manslayer of
Colleton, was brought to Walterboro
Wednesday night from Columbia,
where he had been confined in
A V% AM ? 4- AM M W A A lft ? />
penitentiary since 111s iccaptuie
about a year ago..
Sentence was passed this morning
by Judge Purdy at the opening of
court on R. A. Adams. The day
fixed for his execution is the first
Friday in January, 1907, between the
hours of 10 and 2 o'clock.
This case has attracted considerable
attention, Adams was placed
in the dock at the opening of court
this morning. He seemed composed
and not at all nervous. When asked
if he had anything to say why the
sentence of the court should not now
be passed upon him, he answered in
a#clear voice: "Nothing at all." .
* After the sentence was passed he
was taken back to his cell in the jail,
where he was later seen by your correspondent.
Adams talked freely of
his case and said that he was prepared
for the worst. He says that
he hated to leave his wife and five
children, as the expenses of his trial
had taken all they had and only one
}f his children was able to work.
rhis is not the first time he has been
>entenced.
adams' crime.
The crime for which he was sentenced
was committed Feb. 11,1903,
and he was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged by Judge Ernest Gary
the first Friday in June, 1903.
The succeedidg steps in this case
are familiar to the people in this
State. How his case was earned to
the supreme court, his escape from
jail and subsequently his recapture
?all is familiar to the readers of
newspapers. This final chapter in
his history will be no less interesting.
KILLED BY HIS OWN PISTOL.
The Weapon Accidentally Discharged
While Driving Home.
Aiken, Dec. 2.?Luther Craig met j
a tragic death here last night at 8:30
o'clock by the accidental discharge
of a pistol. Mr. Craig, a resident of
the Town Creek section, five miles
from here, foj the past three months
had been superintending a squad of
laborers at work on Whitney's race
track. Being late in paying off the
hands he left the city a few minutes
after 8 o'clock and had only reached
the edge of town when some part of
the harness became detached from
his buggy. In getting out of buggy
to repair the trouble his pistol, which
was lying on the seat, fell to the foot
and was discharged. The ball entered
the right side of his body below
the third rib ranging upward.
The accident occurred near the
residence of Dr. Croft, who was
summoned and was upon the scene
within a few minutes afterward, and
Mr. Craig was removed to Dr. Croft's
office, where he remained conscious
until his death, one hour later.
The funeral and interment were
conducted this afternoon at 4 olclock
at Town Creek cemetery by the Odd
Fellows, of which organization the
deceased was a respected member.
He leaves a very large family.
Time to flake Good.
There was to be a circus in town
next day, and Robert wished to go
to see it unloaded, so he sought to
obtain his father's consent. The
first question his father put to him
on being approached was: "Have
you asked your mother?"
"Yes, sir." was Robert's prompt
reply.
"What did she say?" the father
pursued.
"She said I couldn't go," was the
frank rejoinder.
"What do you mean, Robert, by
coming to me to ask to do a thing
after your mother has told you you
could not do it?"
"Well, papa," the little fellow observed,
"I heard you say last week
that you're the boss of this ranch,
and I thought it was about time for
you to assert yourself."
.Conference Doings.
The session of the South Carolina
Methodist conference, which met in
Columbia last week, was prolonged
until Wednesday morning of this
week, on account of the trial of the
Creighton case. The conference usu- j
allv adiourns Mondav morning, but
the trial of this case was not concluded,
so the Bishop designated M. L.
Carlisle to preside and left Monday
afternoon to preside over the North I
Carolina conference.
The trial committee found Creighton
guilty and he was expelled from
the ministry and the church. This
matter was disposed of Wednesday
morning. Then the appointments
were read and conference adjourned.
We are unable to publish the appointments
this week.
The conference will meet in Gaffney
next year.

Charge of Miscegenation .Brought by

Augusta, Dec. 1.?The first case |

It is charged by the police that
Hunter, a middle-aged, well-dressed ?*?
white man, has been living with this A
woman for some time." The chief of . /.. -J
police stated that it was not a crusade t vj
against immorality that they were ^
bringing, but that this case was re- .
ported to them, and they made the '
arrest from the report. There is no
name of any other witness on the. " v??
docket, however, except those of the :y
officers.
The last grand jury, which is still
on duty, having asked to be held in
readiness, promised to take the matter
up, and was assured by. Judge
Hammond that he would lend theto'C .? :^|
his efforts in prosecuting any cases
brought to his attention. . ^::o2|P
The case against Hunter will doubt-;
less be brought before the grand
jury at once. There are other cases
that are being worked up, and there
will doubtless be a "moral cruide^J;^
waged, in reality, if not in name.'
It is said that a number gf people jp
of high standing will be brought be^ - V %

another session. This body is standing
together for the purpose of proe- ,'^M
