Columbia, May 11.?It is learned here that an appeal will be had in, x the John J. Jones case, from Orangeburg, and that on account of the refusal of the State to accept the defence's statement of the case, the papers have been forwarded to Judge Memminger for his cfecision. It is the rule that when counsel cannot agree on the case, the circuit judge must settle the matter for them. It appears also that due notice of appeal was given, although nothing is pending in the supreme court here. Jones was sentenced to ten years and one month for the killing of Abe Pearlstine.

Vilnnr Ai,f hie hroinc if flflV euiilg IV UJVYV VUl UJS V/1UAU.K, ... J member of the posse advanced a step nearer, Robert Henton, white man, was arrested on the outskirts of the city this afternoon and lodged in the county jail. Henton was induced to surrender only when bond necessary for his release was shown him on the spot. In answer to a call sent in about 2:30 o'clock the sheriff and deputies made a hurried departure for the scene of trouble. It was reported that Henton had shot his wife, and was about to annihilate the neighborhood. The man learned of the sheriff's approach and forthwith sent a message that if the officers attempted to arrest him he would shoot his head off. Drawing near the scene of the shooting they beheld Henton standing in his front yard, with a pistol clapped to his temple. The man had established a "dead line" about him and in solemn tones raised his voice aloft and cried out that if the posse advanced one inch nearer the trigger would be pulled and a climate warmer than this on earth would receive his spirit. This caused the posse to "stack arms" on the edge of the "dead line" while peace negotiations were opened up, hut all in vain. Extended arguments and various ruses were brought into play, but all in vain. It was then that a proposal ^ras made which swept Henton off his feet. "Submit to arrest and I will go your bond immediately," read the proposal which brought Henton to surrender. "Jim" Byrnes Has the Mumps. Washington, May 11.?Congressman James F. Byrnes is an unfortunate member of the South Carolina delegation in congress just at present. While several of his colleagues are at home among their friends he is confined to his hotel here with a well developed case of mumps. A number of the young congressman's friends called at his hotel today to ask after him and were advised to keep at a distance because of the fear of contagion. He will probably be kept out of his seat in the house for two or three weeks. ? anoAfc pation will yield urs spent each d ? will be given member 20th 19! rone if you will 01 iwals How to I llict With every pi Store votes will t ? | lar's worth purct ducti ^on a*so * If any of our fri< yr Toilet Articles, 1 ,lv fV carried by an up patronize Hoovei IPTIONS votes, or if they c aud secure the vo ruie [Ill J || jl lie earlier )uu & have in final corn [EST contest will be M JG THE CONTEST s will be published. 3.

U PL M U AM/1A nave a uiaute OLDEST CITY IN ARIZONA. i Mining Engineers Find Relics on Tableland Near Phoenix. Still another "oldest city in the world" has been discovered. When T. Hewitt Myring found cases in Peru in ruins which were said to be 7,000 years old it was imagined that the remains of early civilization had been niifViA/^ oo for inanfinnitv as thev pUOllCU CIO i.Ui XUVV uuv*vjvi*v^ www v?.? would ever go, says the Chicago Tribune. But A. Lafave, a mining engineer, has found the relics of a town in an Arizona tableland near Phoenix, which he insists are at least 10,000 years old. The buildings are on a level stretch of country where neither silt nor wash was possible and yet tl|e ruins were covered with ten feet of prairie rust which the discoverer claims requires ages to accumulate. The buildings of sandstone show great architectural skill and in the walls were found a box of cotton bolls and a sealed jar of corn, both welj preserved. The Arizona climate does not permit the growth of cotton in the present age, so Mr. Lafave assumes that sufficient time must have elapsed since the cotton which he found was grown to have wrought a complete change in the character of the country. This period he also gauges as something like 10,000 years. He is satisfied that the ruins are older than those of Nineveh or Babylon. He believes that the race which built this town were possessed of a high civilization from the abundance of artistically wrought pottery and that it subsquently was broken up by internal dissension and possibly degenerated into the cliff-dwelling peoples. Work Almost Finished. Washington, May 13.?Representative Swager Sherley, of Kentucky, who called to see the president on patronage matters to-day, said, as he was leaving the White House, that the adjournment of congress would occur soon, as far as the house is concerned. The matter, he said, rests with the senate. "In the house," said the representative, "there remains only the Statehood bills, several tariff schedules to be revised and some minor bills to be passed. I believe the house will pass the measures providing Statehood for New Mexico and Arizona within a short time." ? ' J \ ' ' : - -r. :, ' . ' lit'i .v.'m ? ' v soluteh ^ ?

Thomson, Ga., May 9.?The mystery as to who was trying to assassinate Thomas E. Watson has been solved, it is said. An accident revealed to the eyes of the law the planters of the dynamite. They were just two boys on a fishing trip. The kids intended to use the ex nlncivp tn Irill fish. There's the story. There appeared in the Constitution of May 3 an article concerning Watson headed "Dynamite Found by Tom Watson." In this article Mr. Watson connects the dynamite discovery on his place with the so-called "attempted assassination in February, when a couple of desperate politicians, sent a band of assassins after him. When this dynamite was found in a stump in the woods by Colonel Jake Winn and reported, to Mr. Watson there was raised such a hue and cry that the whole countryside became alarmed. Soon after this discovery two boys were seen passing through the premises in the direction of Wrightsboro. As this was the direction in which the supposed assassins of February were thought to have gone, the alarm was sounded immediately. The pursuit was taken up. Several automobiles joined in the chase. The tracks were followed almost to Wrightsboro and at length the al, n a J. __ ?i..? iegea dynamiters were saieiy eaytuxed without a struggle. One of the dangerous ones happened to* he the thirteen-year-old son of one of the pursuers, Mr. Banks; the other a little boy of the same age. The two had merely slipped off for a day's frolic. L. L. Chartrand Pardoned. Columbia, May 8.?Gov. Blease this afternoon pardoned Louis L. Chartrand, of Orangeburg county, who was convicted of larceny before Mayor Doyle, and was sentenced to a total fine of $40 or 120 days, being convicted on four counts. He was sentenced in August, 1903. The pardon restores him to citizenship for the purpose of allowing the man to testify. Solicitor Hildebrand wanted the testimony of Chartrand in the house-burning case at North. t _ 11 Free] I ? e- Ask S St i Vnnr I1UU1 ^ 1 p 1 i Friends 1 ts 10 rq ^ Trade d ?or' ^ nts. at | linp- ?? f 1 v-' fl .to Hoovers a C Drug 1 Will V.hjl '"I Store j 3 start with. 4. : I rought in Tues- I 9.

The plan provided for four 9 general conferences by divisions. 9 One section of the commission fa- ~9 vored extending the jurisdiction to 9 the entire country, while the South- 9 ern representatives favored limiting 9 jurisdiction to the division in which 9 they were elected, except when speci- 9 ally invited by other bishops. ; 9 Over this point a long argument 9 ensued and adjournment was'taken without decision, but it is believed to-day that even this item will be amicably settled. ???
