LEWIS HARVEY CONVICTED. t Slew Another Negro for One Cent? Must Serve Life Term. * Beaufort, May 18.?The jury at S Yclock to-night brought, in a verdict of guilty of murder with recommendation to mercy in the case of Lewis Harvey, who shot-and killed Buddie Brown on account of a dispute which arose during a crap game in the Ferry y house at the Adam's Ferry landing on Ladies' Island, just across from Beaufort, the amount involved being 1 cent. Harvey attacked Brown with a piec of iron, which Brown took away from him, after which he went to his father's house a short distance from the ferry landing, secured his * revolver and returned to where Brown was. Brown is said to have simply laughed when Harvey talked of killing him, and then the slayer shot twice with the result that Brown ran about a hundred yards and fell dead. Harvey was represented by ^ Major W. S. Tillinghast, and Solicitor Peurifoy was assisted by Mr. W. J. Thomas, of the Beaufort Bar. She Made the Indian Mind. One of the gentliest-appearing, most feminine of women in the Indian field is Miss Flora E. Harvey, who fills the chief seat of authority in the Pima boarding school at Sacaton, Arizona, says Francis E. Leupp in The Delineator for June. Yet she is as resolute as Hannibal, and has ^ to credit the subjugation of the worst male pupil in a big non-reservation school where she formerly served. He was a tall brawny Navajo about twenty years eld. The Navajo are among the Indians all of us love best; but the very characteristics which especially attach us to them make N^-- them when cantankerous the ugliest fellows to handle. . This boy, whom < we will call John because I have forgotten his Indian name, was asked - by Miss Harvey to perform some dutj +< ? whiVh hp ohieoted. She repeated her request more in the form of an order, but he was obstinate and as a number of spectators had gathered, it became plain that an issue had arisen > which would not down until one or the other of this oddily assorted twain was the acknowledged victor. . Miss Harvey did some rapid thinking. Then she led John into a room TMiere they could be by themselves, he going with her because she cleverly couched her summons in such a form that to hang back would have been interpreted by his sympathizers as a symptom of fear. He accepted y her invitation to sit down on a common wooden chair drawn up at a heavy table. Then, when his legs were bent under the table and his body pressed close between the back of the chair and the edge of the table, she stepped quickly behind him, and planted one of her feet on the rear rung of the chair and' both of her hands firmly on the top of the back. y "Now." said she, "are you ready to do what I told you to?" , The lad^ grunted a negative. Miss *' Harvey released one hand just long enough to box his ears with it quickly. He attempted to rise and resent the blows, but found it impossible. ^ Any reader who doubts this may with ' ^ a little trouble make a test which will convince him that Miss Harvey has her prisoner securely pinned down. Thus the good woman passed a large part of the afternoon, alternately repeating her demand in an unruffled tone and boxing the culprit's ears at each refusal. At last he reT - alized that he was defeated, and like a good sportsman yielded with the best grace at his command. Poor Spacing.

C. f N MURDERER BROUGHT BACK. Jim Williams, Who Shot Wesley Benjamin Eleven Years Ago. Weary of his wandering life, Jim Williams, a negro, who on March 11, 1899, killed Wesley Benjamin, porter of the State library, confessed his crime to an officer of the law in Norfolk last week, and is now behind the bars of the Richland county jail. The crime occurred on the sidewalk in front of the old Wright's hotel, now the Caldwell. According to the testimony of the winpccpc at thp timp nf thp hnmicide. it seems that the men had quarreled during the afternoon, and Williams, in company with his brother, met ' Benjamin in front of the hotel about S o'clock. Williams drew a pistol and, disregarding the entreaties of his brother, fired at Benjamin three times, two shots taking effect. Benjamin "died the same night about 11 o'clock. Williams forthwith made his escape, through the office of the hotel, and out of the back way, and his whereabouts were unknown until his surrender to the Norfolk police on the anniversary of his crime. Williams, since the night of his flight, has seen quite a bit of the world, according to statements made by him to Sheriff Coleman. He enlisted as a private in the regular army, being attached to the Ninth : cavalry, and saw service in the Philippines. After serving his enlistment of three years he drifted over the country, spending a while in Salt Lake City, Utah, finally winding up in Norfolk, where he entered the navy and where his confession was made. He voluntarily surrendered himself ' to the Norfolk officials, saying he was tired of the life he had been leading. The case will probably be tried at ! the ensuing term of the court of general sessions, which convenes here on ; navt "\Ianv nf thp witnPSSPK I of the homicide are dead now and | some no longer reside in the city.

St. Matthews, May 18.?Somewhal of a sensation was sprung here this morning when the report was circulated that the chain gang officials Jiad brutally and inhumanly beaten ,.ihe negro, Murray, and several others who were sent out to the gang yesterday morning. Murray is the biggamist sentenced to five years at hard labor, and is fai above the average in intelligence. Ii was noticed that he looked depressed over the outlook. The matter was called to Judge Sease's attention, whc is now presiding at court here. He immediately dispatched a committer of the grand jury to the scene to investigate. Their findings were read in open Court upon their return, which it is understood, fully exonerated the gang officials. The whipping left no wounds except a fe-w whelps on the skin of two of the convicts. Mr. Robert Murph, the gang "boss," said that Murray and his pals in crime were "mulish" all daj long, but that he did not administei any punishment until the tent was reached at night. He also denies emphatically that every new convict is "initiated" by corporal punishment as a routine proceeding. That there are now men under his charge whc have never been touched with the lash, and that he avoids the use of it whenever possible. Mr. Murph is from a splendid family, and bears the reputation of being a quiet, peaceable and humane citizen. ~~ A Man Wants to Die only when a lazy liver and sluggist bowels cause frightful despondency But Dr. King's New Life Pills expe poisons from the system; bring hope and courage; cure all liver, stomacl and kidney troubles; impart health and vigor to the w^ak, nervous anc ailing. 25c at Peoples Drug Co. Bamberg, S. C. Assessments Raised by Committee. The State Democratic executive committee decided to increase the assessments on candidates entering the race for various State offices. The raise was made because there is ver} little money now in the treasury. The matter was left with a special subcommittee and after going into the matter thoroughly their report was adopted, although there was some opposition to it at first by Roberl Lide, of Orangeburg, who thought that the expenses of the committer should be cut down. The old assessments provided that candidates for governor should paj an entrance fee of $50, other State officers $37.50, solicitors $25 and congressmen $50 each. The new assessments provide for $125 each foi for congressional candidates, $50 for other State officers, $50 for lieutenant governor and $75 for governor. Lion Fondles a Child.
