Thursday, June 25, 1908 i Bamberg will need no summer term of court. A good daughter county she is.?Barnwell People. No, it's a boy, and you've heard of that old saying of a boy beating his daddy. When "xinmxpppqzzxyhf" appears .in the Bamberg Herald, it does not -mean that Editor Wilkes Knight has lost his temper and is indulging in expletives, but it is merely a cute way which his new linotype hafs of making its presence known.?News and Courier. It is- not cutting any such capers ss that yet, but we don't know howsoon it will begin. ' ' The trial of Sellers, the blind tigei keeper, for murder, in Columbia, f; . - was pretty much of a farce. It was clearly proven that the constable had a right to search the premises, and ' ' Callarc'c , , mai 11<4uul waa iuuuu iu uw>v>? . room. Is it any wonder that manj officers are lax in their enforcement of law,when they are given absolutely ly no. protection by the Courts? When has a man been hung in thif v State for killing an officer of the law? We don't know, but we would like for some one who knows to tell, us. . The expected has happened, and Taft has been nominated by the Republicans for president. Now if the Democrats will nominate some othei candidate than Mr. Bryan, we beh \ 1 lieve they have a good chance ol |-v' winning. But what is termed the safe and sane business men of the country hafve no more confidence ir Hr. Bryan than they have in Mr, Roosevelt and his candidate, so we see no hope of Democratic success ii Mr. Bryan is to head the ticket. Bui with any safe and sound candidate the Democrats ought to beat Taft. Some circuit judges have a great > deal to say from the bench about lawlessness and crime and the juries /not doing their duty, but we notice f-> \ they keep on granting bail to those ? charged with murder. How in the name of common sense do they expect conditions to get better as long as they grant bail indiscriminately? ^ They should be consistent. Their ) J actions do not square with their expressions. A white man murdered ? noo-rrt in r?nM hlnod in Anderson re a. 1 s cently, yet he has been granted bail in the sum of $10,000 by Judge * Gary, and in other cases just as bad bail has heretofore been granted. WOMAN SENT TO THE CHAIR. i_ Feminine Slayer of Another Woman to be Electrocuted. Watertown, N. Y., June 19.? Guilty.of murder in the first degree was the verdict of the jury in the / case of Mrs. Mary Farmer charged with the killing of Mrs. Sarah Brennan. The jury was out three hours. Justice Rogers sentenced Mrs. Farmer to be electrocuted at Auburn prison during the week beginning August 25. The crime for which Mrs. Farmer, who is 29 years old, was convicted, was most fiendish. Her victim, Mrs. Brennan, who was 55 years old, was her neighbor and intimate friend, and the motive was to gain possession of the Brennan deeds, which Mrs Farmer had forged in October. Th? crime was committed April 23 Mrs. Brennan was hacked to piece* uri+h Q hQtr>hpt and hftr hodv Stuffec in a trunk. Mrs. Farmer's husband is also un de indictment on a charge of murdei in the first degree as accessory tc the crime. Prohibition Meeting.

BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY. Two Convicts Escape from the State Farm. Hagood, June 22.?Last week Boisy James and Albert Miller, convicts on the State Farm, made their escape. The detail was being marched to the stockade after the day's work had been done when these two men made a desperate leap for liberty. The guards fired at them several times but they were soon safe in the swamps. Every effort was made to recapture them but without success. It was thought that both had made good their escape but to-day the dead body of Albert Miller was found in the Wateree river. It is supposed v,o+ wnc ^rnwnerl while attempt-1 niav iiv v*? v .. ?--v. ing to swim the river. Nothing has been heard of Boisv James. * >. Miller was from Lancaster county and was serving a sentence of 15 years. A $650 Merry Widow Hat. A $650 hat was shown at the spring opening of a millinery establishment at Lexington, N. C. It was a Merry Widow shape, made of white silk lace and bordered with straw. The crown was high and the brim, of course, very wide. Around the crown were ten $50 gold certificates, so arranged as to make an effective trimming. Other decorations were a paradise aigrette and twenty-seven $5 gold pieces arranged , in a band, around the crown. The hat is kept in the Bank of Lexington at night, as it is considered too valuable to risk leaving in the store. Editor Shoots Burglar. Frank Smith, a negro ex-convict, was shot and mortally wounded by W. H. Steward, a newspaper man of Salisbury, N. C., when surprisea at an attempt at burglary in the edi1 tor's home. The negro escaped but ; was found later at his home with a 1 bullet in his stomach. IN CONTEMPT OF COURT. 1 Juror Got Drunk and Talked About Sellers Case. Columbia, June 16.?R. C. Ashford was yesterday found guilty of contempt of court and sentenced to three months imprisonment or a fine of $50, before the circuit court, Judge Ernest Gary presiding. He paid the fine. , On Saturday, June 6, Ashford was I sitting as juryman on the Sellers I case, and that night left the court . house fully realizing the gravity and p responsibility of the position he held. However, he met some of his friends ? who insisted that he take a drink with them. At first Ashford refused, > but finally yielded to the repeated entreaties of hjs friends. By midnight ' Ashford had taken several more drinks, and in some mysterious way > the liquor had the affect upon Ashford of making him want to talk, and in v spite of the responsibility and [ gravity of the position as realized by the juror, he discussed the case with several people. 5 In an affidavit Policeman Hough, of the Columbia police force, stated . that he found Ashford about mid, night in a restaurant apparently under the influence of liquor, and that - he advised him to go home. Ashford i refused and went up the street to L another restaurant, where Policeman Hough again ran across him later, ' .at which time he seemed more than J ever under the influence of liquor. ' Policeman Hough again tried to per. suade Ashford to go home and go to bed, but the latter refused and start! ed to tell Hough about trying to talk some sense into that fellow's head, pointing to an unknown in the corner, Ashford further stated to Policeman Hou^h that he wished to discuss the Sellers case with him, that there were some features about it that lie did not like. Policeman Hough reminded Ashford that he was pledged not to discuss the case on which he was sitting as a juror, but to no avail. Ashford did not return home until late Sunday morning.
