It is fearful to contemplate the rec

had been continued in South

We don't know how Attorney
*
General Lyon and Lawyer Felder se
>" cured tne evidence, uui mcj w,
have gotten it all right enough.
We have received a copy of the
Summerville Advertiser, a new paper
just started in that town with S.
P. Driggers as editor. Summerville
had a newspaper, the News, for a
number of years, but it suspended a
few months ago. Here's hoping for
better luck for the Advertiser. It is
a newsy, neat, and well printed sheet
and ought to succeed.
The grand jury of Charleston
county, in ita presentment last week,
started that the methods oft the city
council of Charleston in regard toi
Wind tie-prs amounted to Dractically
h a licensing of the traffic, and urged
^ - that the law be enforced. It is high
titne something was being done to
enforce the dispensary law in Charleston.
i Only a few weeks ago the Sumter
Herald installed a bran new linotype
machine, one of the latest
models, and so far we have not noticed
a line in the columns of that pav
; - per about it. Such prosperity i6 de||
. Berving of mention. Not many week
ly newspapers in me ovate can auuiu
to invest nearly $4,000 in a type||<
setting machine.
Is it, any wonder that there is
nearly always an appeal to the unwritten
law in cases of this kind
pi when such verdicts are returned as
the one in Lexington county last
? ^ week where a young white man was
charged with' seducing a young woman
under promise of marriage?
There should be some way to punish
men of this stamp. Burning is too
fe- - easy a death for a scoundrel who
would rob a woman of her virtue
and then desert her. !
Rev. S. A. Nettles, who has been
fe"' * editor and manager of the Southern
Christian Advocate for several years
. past, has been re-elected as editor
and manager for four years more,
his term ending December 31, 1913.
This action was taken at a meeting
of the board of managers held in
j|fe- Spartanburg last week. Mr. Nettles
. has developed the Advocate from a
gfe moribund sheet into a live, progres?
sive religious weekly, and he has
mfsz:- done some mighty hard work to
||C
bring about this result.
A Scoundrel Acquitted.
Quitman Gayden, a young white
man from New Brookland, was tried.
in Lexington last week on the charge
of Beduction. The young woman in
the case is Miss Corie Estelle Lucas, I
of the same town. Both belong to,
prominent families, and the case attracted
a great deal of attention and
was hard fought. The mother of the
unfortunate girl was the first witness
for the prosecution. She was
followed by the young woman herBelf.
Miss Lucas is an innocent looking
girl an<T is attractive in every
feature. She told her story in a
straightforward manner. She told
| how Gayden had seduced her under
his repeated promises of marriage.
She made a most excellent witness,
w ,. sticking to her story in the main
through a grilling cross-examination.
Her brother testified that
% Vr . Gayden had promised him to marry
his sister.
The defendant denied promising
to marry the girl, but admitted telling
her brother that he would do
what was right if they would reWk
lease him from under bond. The
jt. " jury took the case at four o'clock in
? the afternoon and remained in their
room all night, coming into court
x\ next morning and saying they could
not agree upon a verdict. Judge Aidrich
sent them back to the room,
f " , and in a few minutes they returned
a verdict of not guilty.
Hail Storm.
A severe hail storm passed over
this section last Thursday, accompanied
by a high wind. The hail only
lasted a few minutes, but the stones
were the largest in the memory of
the oldest inhabitants. Some of the
hail stones were nearly as large as
one's fist. Considerable damage was
done to growing crops. The wind
broke down a lot of corn which was
bunching for tassel, and the hail cut
up cotton and other crops badly.
The damage was especially severe a
few miles southwest of town, on the
plantations of Messrs. W. E. and J. A.
Spann, Henry Ehrhardt, S. W. Sandifer,
D. Dowling, and others. The
storm also extended over the river in
the Cope section of Orangeburg
county, and much damage was done
there.

TROLLEY CAR STRIKES MAN.
Columbia Mill Operative Dies as Result
of Injuries.
j Columbia, June 20.?Having been
knocked from the track of the Co.
lumbia Street Railway on the line to
the fair grounds, Levi X. Pope, aged
fifty-three years, an operative of the
Capital City Mills, having his skull
iraciurea ana nis arm uiukcu m t>w
places, died last night from his injuries,
shortly after 10 o'clock, in
an ambulance while being carried to
| the hospital.
j The inquest over the body was
! held this morning at a local undertaking
establishment and the coroner's
jury returned the following
verdict: "Levi X. Pope came to his
death by being knocked from the
street car track by a street car."
From the testimony of Conductor
Payne and Motorman Flitter and
several passengers who were on the
car when it struck Mr. Pope, it
seems as if he walked on the track
from behind a post or some grass
when the car was only a few feet
from him. The testimony brought
[out the fact that he was knocked
about eight feet when the car struck
him and was in a very serious condition.
when picked up.
The conductor on the car stated

car was rung for some time before
it struck Mr. Pope. However, this
fact was not brought out from any
of the other witnesses who testified
at the inquest.
Mr. Pope resided at No 15 Capital
City, and was employed as an operative
in the Capital City Mills. He
was married and had four children.
The coroner states that he was not
notified of the accident until this
morning. '

MR. LYON PLEASED.
Recent Session of Commission Was
Satisfactory.
Attorney General Lyon is very I
much pleased with the testimony
given at the recent session of the!
dispensary commission. The facts j
brought out are along lines pursued 1
by Mr. Lyon and the State dispen
sary committee several years ago
and many matters intimated then
have since been verified and will be
part of the evidence when the prosecutions
begin.
"At present," said Mr. Lyon yesterday,
"there is very little to add
to the evidence. Of course the people
of the State have been satisfied
as to the graft. The work has been
hard and in many cases required
months of labor among the records
of various concerns having dealings
with the dispensary but I am satisfied
with the results."
Mr. Lyon has not yet decided to
give out any statement as to the
prosecution of the cases, but the recent
activity of the various attorneys
interested would indicate that some
action might be taken soon. There
are several former members of the
board under indictment and before
the next term of court there may be
other warrants sworn out. The
commission will convene subject to
the call of Chairman Murray, which
will be after the testimony taken at
I the last session is transcriDea ana
sent to the various members.?Columbia

YOUNG LADY KILLS HERSELF.
Daughter of Prominent Planter Near
Ulmer Commits Suicide.
The town of Ulmer and the surrounding
country was severely
shocked on Tuesday when it was
learned that Miss Minnie Folk, the
16-year-old daughter * of Mr. T. J.
Folk, had ended her life by shooting
herself through the heart with a pistol.
The members of the family had
had no information of the fact that
she intended ending her life and can
assign no reason for it.
Miss Folk lived with her father, a
few miles from Ulmer, and on the
day of the tragedy seemed as bright
and cheerful as usual. After breakfast
that morning she went a few
hundred yards from the house to do
a little work in a pindar patch. Between
9 and 10 o'clock she returned
to the house and told her step-mother
she had come to get a drink of
water. Her mother suggested to her
to let the work alone until late that
afternoon, as it was so hot. The girl
said that she "was almost through
and would go back and finish the
work. Before returning, however,
she went into the,house and went up
stairs and going into her brother's
room secured his pistol. Instead of
going back to the field to work she
went to a spring about two hundred
yards from the house and seating
herself on a box she placed the pistol
over her heart and fired the fatal
shot that ended her bright, young
life.
The report of the pistol was heard
by her mother and by a negro working
in a nearby field. They both ran
to the spring and found her in a dying
condition. She was taken to' the
house and despite the best care andattention
died in about two hours.?
Barnwell Sentinel.
Rev. Richardson Succumbs.
Anderson, June 21.?The death of
Rev. D. D. Richardson, which occurred
at a hospital here, where he was
brought soon after the accident, adds
the second victim to the automobile-trolley
car collision nine miles
east of here yesterday. His skull
was fractured and he never regained
consciousness after the crash. The
body was taken to Simpsonville, near
Greenville, to-day for interment, accompanied
by Mrs. Richardson, who
was also injured and who had been
here since with her husband.
Mr. Richardson was 36 years old.
He was pastor of the Second Baptist
church of Belton and the Gluck Mills
church here. They had no children.
A telephone message from NinetySix
to-day said that the condition of
Rev. E. A. McDowell, another of the
injured, Js very satisfactory.
