record of Barnwell soldiers, and was
all good history for our young folks.

Death of B. T. Rice.
v. L
Barnwell June 11.?B. T. Rice,
aged 56 years, one of the oldest and
most highly respected members of the
Barnwell bar, died at his home yesterday
morning at ,9:30 o'clock, of
heart failure, after an illness of only
a few minutes. Yesterday morning
he complained of a pain in the region
of his heart. Household remedies
were given him and- a doctor summoned,
he continued to grow worse
on'1 wofjiAii Vitc i?cf iHst. after the
doctor reached the house.
Mr. Rice was horn in what is now
Bamberg county, at that time a part
of the old Barnwell district. He was
a son of the late Major D. H. Rice.
At an early age he began the practice
of law in Texas, later returning and
' settled in Barnwell, where his knowledge
of the law attracted a large and
paying practice. He was elected probate
judge for Barnwell county, and
discharged the duties of that office
with great credit to himself.
About 25 years ago he married
Miss Elizabeth Walker, a daughter of
the late Col. N. G. W. Walker. Their
union was a most perfect one.

PARDONED BY GOVERNOR.
J. B. Jeter of Lexington, Confesses to
Robbing Mother and Sister. j
Lexington, June 11.?J. B. Jeter,!
who is said to have been the first man
to have received executive clemency I
from Gov. Blease, was yesterday
placed behind the bars of the Lexington
jail by Sheriff P. H. Corley, with
the charge of larceny resting against j
him, it being alleged that he stole a!
lot of jewelry from his sister, Mrs.
Eva Hodge, and some articles from
his aged mother, both of whom are
residents of Swansea, this county. He
was later released, his sister and
mother agreeing not to push the case,
provided Jeter would sign an agreement
never to appear again at his
mother's home. The agreement was
drawn up by the clerk of court, Frank
W. Shealy. In the paper Jeter admits
his guilt and agrees that he shall
keep his pledge, and should he fail
so to do, that he will be tried for
larceny.
Soon after Jeter's release from the
penitentiary, where he was serving
a life sentence for having killed a
man on the streets of Union several
years ago, having served eight years
of fVia fi'ino n f hie
Wl IUC OGlllCUVst/ OL V VUV biuiv w*. ..? I
pardon, he went to Swansea and remained
there for some time, living
with his mother and sister, both of j
whom are widows. The dates upon
which the several articles were stolen
is not known, hut all various intervals,
it is said, valuables would disappear.
His relatives became suspicious
of Jeter and the matter was,
placed in the hands of Sheriff Corley. ]
The sheriff traced Jeter from Swansea
to Columbia, and after a tedious
search man? of the missing treasures j
were found. Jeter's arrest followed,
and a full and complete confession!
was made to the officials.
Jeter appears to be about 30 or 35
years of age, and is a man of fine
physique, his confinement of eight
years in the penitentiary evidently
having agreed with him.
Attacked and Robbed.
\ .
Newberry, June 11.?A young man
named Skinner, whose home is in
Bishopville while traveling through
thecountry selling fruit trees, was
attacked yesterday at 5 o'clock a mile
and a half from Goldville by an unknown
white man supposed to be a j
tramp,' and was badly cut in many
places and is in a serious condition.
The object was robbery, the stranger
taking $50 from the yonng man's
pocket. He was caught this morning
not far from Goldville, having
evidently lost his way in trying to
escape A telegram was sent to Mr.
Skinner's father, who came here today
and will take his son home as
soon as he is able to travel. The
guilty party, whose name and residence
are not known, was taken to
Laurens and committed to jail today
New Postoffice at Barnwell.
Barnwell, June 10.?Owing to the
untiring efforts of Harry D. Calhoun
and Postmaster S. B. Moseley, the
people of Barnwell will no longer be
forced to go to the old frame building
on Main street for their mail.
Several weeks ago these gentlemen
put in a hid to furnish a building to
house the postoffice in Barnwell, and
their bid has been approved. These
gentlemen have been on a trade with
Frank Q. O'Neil, of Charleston, to
have him erect a building on his lot
on Main street adjoining the Home
bank block in case they secured the
contract. Mr. O'Neil was in town
this week and closed a deal with a
local contractor to erect a handsome
modern building, work to commence
immediately. The furnishings of the
new postoffice will be of the latest
design, and will include both combination
and key lock boxes. This is
another instance of Barnwell's proi
gressiveness.
?
Dispensary Commission Baled.
The Carolina Glass company,
through their attorney, Wm. H.
Lyles, yesterday secured a rule before
the supreme court requiring the
new dispensary commission to show
cause on Friday, June 16, why they
should not be compelled to pay the
company about $21,000 now in their
hands. This money is a part of the
fund withheld from the company by
the old commission for alleged overcharges
for bottles sold to the dispensary.
An effort has been made to recover
the amount, but the present commission
refuses to reopen the matter on
the grounds that their predecessors
refused to consider such a petition
and it has been finally disposed of
from the point of jurisdiction of the
commission.?Columbia State.

.T(Yhn Maddov an emnlove of the
Vaucluse mill in Aiken county, met
a horrible death in the mill last

was cleaning some machinery in the
mill with a lap stick, when in some
manner the stick caught in the machinery,
and in turning around struck
him at the waist, completely penetrating
his body. He died the following
day. The coroner's jury decided
that death was purely accidental
and that no blame could be attached
to the mill management. Mr.
Maddox was 60 years of age, married
and had one child.

EVANS CASE NOL PROSSED.
State Unable to Proceed Because of
Charles' Death.
Newberry, June 12.?A nol pros
was this morning entered in the case
against H. H. Evans, charged with accepting
a rebate. The State moved
for a continuance.
Eugene S. Blease, Esq., representing
the defendant, demanded a trial
and presented the orde^ of Judge
Watts, passed at the March term,
which reads in part:
"It appearing that the defendant at
the June and November, 1910, terms
of the court demanded a trial, it is
therefore ordered and adjudged that
the case be continued until the next
regular term of this court, and it is
further ordered that the State be precluded
at any future term of the court
from making a motion for a continuance,
and in the event that such motion
is made that a nolle prosequi be
entered upon the indictment and the
defendant discharged."
Judge Gary said that the order not
having been appealed from, he considered
it binding, though he said he
doubted if the power of the circuit
judge could go so far had an appeal
been taken. When the case was
called Solicitor Cooper stated that tffe
attorney general was in charge of the
case and read a letter from the attorney
general saying that "the State
v. as unable to proceed to this case at
the last term on account of the death
of G. H. Charles, who was a material
witness for the prosecution and that
the State has not been able uj far to
supply the evidence of . which It was
deprived by reason of the death of Mr.
Oiarles. In addition to the above, I
do not think it wise to undertake the
trial of this case at this time, but that
it would be "for the best interest of
the State and for the vindication of
the law to have it further continued."
He said he recognized the right of
the defendant to a speedy trial and
regretted that the State was not in
position to dispose of the case and
asked the solicitor if the presiding
judge should not concur in the views
expressed and should order the case
to trial that a nolle prosequi be entered
upon the demand of the defendant
for trial and the presentation to
the court of Judge -Watts' order. <
Judge Gary ruled as stated and
Evans was discharged.
Solicitor Cooper, when asked what
would be the disposition of the State
as to handing out another bill of indictment
against H. H. Evans, said
that was a matter entirely in the
hands of the attorney general.
DEPUTY LOCKED UP

in cnarge or violating tne prumuition
law, De#uty Sheriff J. S. Sykes,
of Sumter county, S. C., is charged
with being drunk &nd disorderly in

The man wanted by the South
Carolina authorities was arrested by

Sykes came here for him Thursday.
Sykes said he would call for his man
Thursday night and that in the meantime
he would look the town over.

ters and told a story of having been
robbed of his watch, pistol, cash an&
two fountain pens.
Sykea declared he had been robbed
by a man who said he was a detective.
Because of his condition
the South Carolina officer was placed
in the same cell with the man he
came here to take back for trial.
The deputy's pistol and watch wer4
recovered from a man who says
Sykes gave them to him to keep. He
is also a prisoner.
The sheriif of Sumter county has
been notified and the three men will

PISH BUTTON, SET SlIN
MRS. LEITER ERECTS REVOLVING
COTTAGE FOR GUESTS.
Unique Luxury Built by Chicago Millionaire's
Widow for Pleasure of
ouiuuicr uucsis.
Standing out prominently on a
slight elevation of land, close by the
water and commanding a view of
nearly every point of interests along
the coast of Massachusetts Bay, is
the new revolving sun house of Mrs.
Levi Z. Letter, of Chicago, the latest
innovation among the marvels of the
north shore. '? .
In a month's tour of the numerous
magnificent summer estates of
America it would be difficult for one
to find anything among the thousands
of luxuries of wealth which would
quite eclipse this new and novel
miniature toy which has been built
at an enormous expense for the use
of Mrs. Leiter and her guests during
their stay in Beverly.
Her Own {invention.
It is said to be the invention of
Mrs. Leiter, who, after the completion
of her $500,000 palace in this
city, was desirous of securing some
noved addition which would maxe her
summer estate one justly worthy of -
her pride. She has without a doubt,
accomplished this end, with the aid
of expert workmen, in the construction
of the revolving sun house.
Its operation is very simple, requiring
merely the touching of a button
or the moving of a lever. These ,
buttons and levers are partly concealed
on the side of the building.
When in operation not the slightest
tremor or instability are noticeable.
Merry-Go-Round and Turntable.
Briefly, it is a combination merry-go-round
and sun parlor, accommodating
six persons - comfortably.
It revolves as noiselessly and gently
as it would if commanded by a company
of fairies.
By simply touching a button it.
will be possible for the occupant to
shut off the cool ocean breezes and
bask in the warm sunlight.
With the exception of the roof and
lower part of the exterior, whLh are
of rustic wood, its construction is
entirely of .polished, .glass. It revolves
on the most delicate kind of
bearings, which are incased in an
airtight inclosure to prevent the
dnst from reaching them. These
are set in a deep hole which has a
concrete foundation. The floor is of
heavy steel. It will move in either
direction.
This novel house stands on a terrace
overlooking the sea on three
sides, and is at the end of several
small sunken gardens, within 50
feet of the palace.
j Heavy polished glass is set on
three sides of the house, while on
the fourth there is the entrance.
There are curtains of the finest
material as a protection against the
glaring rays of the sun on the hottest
days. The steel floor is covered
with an artistic display of imported
rugs, while the furnishings
consist of several comfortable lounging
chairs and dainty little tables.
Mrs. Leiter sent special plans to
the contractors for the construction
of this novel house. In order to accomplish
her wishes it was necessary
to adopt the turntable idea used in
many garages.
Unless one is acqauinted with the
house and its queer movements, it
would be impossible to detect any
strangeness about it or to distinguish
it from any ordinary summer
house.
Many wonderful things have been
accomplished about the Leiter esA

purchased the property. Her orders
to the contractors that her $500,000
palace should be constructed In six
months was carried out. The land
on* which the mansion is built was
purchased at the enormous cost of
$150,000 for three acres.
After the construction of the
house followed the stables, garages,
and other buildings in quick succession.
In fact the building of the entire
estate appears to be the work of
some magic power.?New York
World.
Not to Indict Felder.
Newberry, June 11.?It is learned
here to-day that there will be no indictment
handed out by the solicitor
against Thos. B. Felder in the court
.of general sessions which opens here
to-morrow. The dispensary windingup
commission, on whose resolution ,

Spartanburg, June 12.?The per- :
sistent rumor of the laat few month#ri
that the Chesapeake & Ohio railway
was to lease or acquire the Carolina;.
Clinchfield & Ohio railway was pra^;gjj
tically confirmed, with the amendment
that the Seaboard Air Line la v w
also interested in the deal, upon the '
arrival in Spartanburg over the
Clinchfield Sunday night of a party
including Edwin Hawley, Frank
Vanderlip and Geo. W. Stephen*,
president; Decatur Axtell vice president;

accompanied by M. J. Caples, viee.^v
president and general manager, sad|*|?|
T. H. Phetteplace, general *upeftpi^|||,:
tendent of the Clinchfield. The par?y ;
were met at the station by a commit-? Vi
tee of citizens. One of thp entei
taining committee mentioned to
Hawley that it had been rumored :^||
that the Chesapeake & Ohio was ?^J|||I
ing to tak$ over the Clinchfield. ?
What Trip Means.
"That's what we are down heria t
for, that's what this trip meaps*^||g$
said Mr. Hawley. The acquisition 50f <
the Clinchfield by the Chesapeake ^
Ohio will doubtless result in the coe^^p'f?
struction in the near future of:'41?w|^!
extension of the Clinchfield from
northern terminus at Dante, Va., to>;.:^
a connection with the Chesapeake
Ohio at Elkhorn City, Ky., frdm f-?
which there .is a straight run to
Ohio river at Kenova. * ||
The contract for the extens^n*^-^
which will be about 35 miles long^^'V
was let two years ago, but hel
abeyance until it could be learned^^
what was to become of the Clinqb^ j^
field. The leasing of the Ciinch8dS@^
by the Chesapeake ? Ohio and
Seaboard will make it the shortei^Jp
route between Chicago -and Flori4?^|?|
The Seaboard connects with
Clinchfield at Bostic. Fear wat e?*| ||
pressed here that the Seaboard mighty
divert by way of Charlotte the
fic' which otherwise would m
through Spartanburg. Exp?rieuc^|i
railroad men said, however, that
conditions were such that this woul#^
be inadvisable. For one thing
would be unduly expensive for ifKVjli
Seaboard to place its line from
tic to Charlotte in such shape a#J
would be necessary to care for th*^J|
Change Expected. ; ' l
Since Geo. L. Carter, builder ?jp|||
the Clinchfield road, was succeedijra:.||
in the presidency several months i
by Mark W. Potter, it has been wo^Jjjm
pected that a change in the oiRjni|| M
ship or management of the road VWMig
impending. This suspicion wf|^-||
strengthening by the recent Inspiii3?^
tion trips over the line by North^plS i
capitalists. The fact, too, that thhSfj
Chesapeake & Ohio directors
not long ago to issue a vast amoiap^^P
of bonds for tbe purpose, amons p*afg$ag
er things of acquiring other V
lent color to the report that the road?
was Interested in the Clinchfield dBM
phio, which would give the Ches^^^ -^
peake & Ohio an important
The value of the Clinchfield
to the Chesapeake & Ohio and f
Seaboard Air Line is that it is 'by.48
far the shortest route between tho; "
Ohio valley and the South Atlan4^J| ^
States. The road is only 243 milep ^
long, and the largest town north of y,y
Spartanburg is Johnson City, Tenin?||'' %
which has only about 10,000 people, t/.'
but the Clinchfield has a strategic laife

Negro Detective Shot.
Ike Mitchell, a negro, was shot andiffiB
killed on the eastbonnd train of
Atlantic Coast Line that left Colum* ;J
bia a little after 6 o'clock yesterday v;
morning. The shooting took placa>^?
between Congaree and Eastover star^^l
tions, in the lower part of Richland ij^
county, by Willie Grantland. Both of
the negroes were employed by a de^||||
tective agency of Columbia, and botb I
lived here. fgSBA
It is alleged that the killing w*^|||
accidental. Grantland said last eveii-^3
ing that he was seated in the seat
in front of Mitchell, and as he went.^|||
to get up his pistol caught in ttojg|9
arm of the seat and the bullet caight
Mitchell in the ribs. The ball was ;t|p|
cut out below the shoulder blade.
Coroner Walker immediately went >
to Eastover and made an investiga^
tion. As the train crew are import-^'|||
ant witnesses and can not be ob-: '^3

the inquest will be postponed until
that hour. It will be held at East
