MERCY FOR GRIMSLEY. Columbia Man Who Killed Woman and Man will ^ Not Hang. Columbia, June 7.?Ernest Grimsley was found guilty of murder with recommendation of mercy. Sentence will be passed to-morrow. Ernest Grimsley, the chaingang guard who shot and killed Mrs. Cora Bessinger and Walter Sandifer in the A Aw. ~ i?-u ? Tnof Tovlnr itiue luucii xuum uu street May 6, was put on trial in Richland sessions court Tuesday on an indictment charging him with the ' murder of Mrs. Bessinger. The grand- < jury has returned a true bill on an- < other indictment charging him with the murder of young Sandifer. The tragedy was the result of < Grimsley's demand for more bread i "with his bowl of soup. Respect the Mother. Mark the young man who is coarse and disrespectful to his mother. No roseate pathway can be hers who , shall sustain to him the relations of wife. Not the happiest will be the lot of those who shall come as his children. Not to be envied is the neighborhood in which he must be reckoned as a citizen. It does not matter what the mental status of that mother is, how old, how blest, how decrepit, the man to whom she is mother owes to her gentleness, tenderness and consideration. Did she fall back and did the children by means of superior advantages, pass her in the race? But think of the toil and trials and devotion and denial, her mind and the years she gave that the children might derive the benefit. Think of her sacrifice; no wonder if she fell behind for her heart was in her home, in the buds that were there. There is no rank, no station, no condition, that may exempt a manly man from a kind regard for his mother. Are Hebrews Ill-Treated? Washington, June 7.?Resolutions demanding investigations in the army and navy to determine whether Jews are discriminated against were introduced in the house to-day by Repre- 1 8?ntative Edwards of Georgia. They grew out of the recent publication of 1 President Taft's censure to Col. Gar- 1 xard, who opposed the elevation of a ; Jew from the ranks. ' The resolutions would direct the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy "to institute an immedi- * ate investigation to ascertain how far and what discriminations are operat- : ed against Jews'' in the army, navy, 1 ^ marine corps, naval academy, mili& tary academy and all branches of the service. Accused of Unnatural Crime. The St. Matthews correspondent of the News and Courier says: "Sheriff jV Dantzler brought to light Tuesday a Wm case, which if true, would be in keepW ing with the barbarous tribes of Hin dustan. The daughter of a negro f lian<I off the farm or J. uj. wannama,ker, two miles from town, wrote a pitiful letter to the sheriff asking protection from the third alleged attempted criminal assault upon her person by her father. The details as . given to the sheriff are too revolting far publication. The accused negro was brought to town and lodged in jail to await developments. He has employed J. M. Walker, Esq., to de- ' fend him. Object to Young's Likness. v Pittsburg, Pa., June 7.?Resolutions protesting against the acceptance of the silver service for the battleship Utah on which is engraved a picture of the Mormon temple and likeness of Brigham Young were adopted by the Reformed Presbyterian synod in session here to-day. The synod holds that "the service would suggest to representatives of fcrn nati'rmc that thft TJfiODlft Of i.Vi V^u MIAV4VAAW Vfc> V?? JT ~ ~ X the United States regard Morm.onism with respect instead of abhorrence, and Brigham Young as a benefactor of the nation." After ordering that copies of the resolution be sent to President Taft and the secretary of the navy it concludes: "We earnestly pray you that the nation may be spared the pain and shame of this disgrace." Death Sentence Third Time. Manning, Jun-i 6.?Willie Bethune was to-day brought from the State penitentiary, where he has been in safe keeping, and sentenced for the third time to be hanged. Bethune was tried in June, 1909, for the murder of G. B. Mims, convicted and sentenced by Judge Gage to be hanged. An appeal was taken, but the lower court was affirmed. In June, 1910, he was again sentenced by .Tiidere Memminger to be hanged, but upon his arraignment for resentence he interposed the plea that he was insane. This issue was tried by a jury and resulted in a verdict against him, establishing his sanity. An appeal from this was taken, and the case was again affirmed by the supreme court, and remanded for resentence. To-day he was sentenced to be hanged on July 14, next - . .A. NEGRO ASSASSINATED. His Wife Tells Strange Story of Murder, but Sticks to It. Spartanburg, June 6. ? George Drummond, a hard-working negro farmer held in esteem by his white neighbors, came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of parties unknown while asleep in bed at his home, one mile above Whitney, about 11 o'clock Monday night. According to Hanna Drummond, his wrife, three men entered the house and asked who lived there; one of them advanced to the bed and coolly discharged a shotgun into the neck of the sleeping man, and the three then cal&ly departed. An inquisition of many hours has failed to shake the woman's story in any particular, and her statement is corroborated by her 12-year-old son, John Henry. Sheriff W. J. White is puzzled. According to Hanna Drummond, her husband and their seven children, the youngest a baby but a few weeks old, had gone to bed when the assassins entered. She says she was awake, a light was burning and the front door was opened for the sake of the breeze. She was unaware of the intruders coming until they were in the room, and she declares that two were squat and the third was lanky. All three were negroes. "Hello," said one, "who lives here?" and when she told them not another word was said, but one of the stocky negroes raised a gun and advancing a step, blew a frightful hole into the neck of George Drummond, as he peacefully slept on a cot. The jugular vein was severed. When the corpse was examined later the arms were folded and the legs crossed like those of a slumbering man. Girls Object to Blease. Columbia, June 7.?The members of the senior class of Winthrop college protested against the diplomas being delivered by C. L. Blease, the governor. It is known that the graduating class held a meeting at which a petition was signed asking that Dr. D. B. Johnson, the president of Winthrop college, deliver the di? piomas ana noi me governor or South Carolina. The diplomas were delivered by Dr. Johnson. It has always been the custom for the governor of the State to deliver the diplomas to the members' of the graduating class,, as he is the chairman ex-officio of the board of trustees. Dr. Johnson was asked for a state ment as to the incident. He refused to deny or affirm the report. Impeding Traffic. "The papers are full of Tom Johnson anecdotes, now that the old man's gone," sighed former Vice-Mayor Lapp recently. "Of course I could tell a million, only I don't feel like it right now. I call to mind, though, that Tom came into the office years ago chuckling over something he had found in some country newspaper 'way down South. He carried the clipping with him for months and used to read it to his friends. I can't remember it, word for word, but this is the gist of it: " 'Some of our colored brethren are going to get into serious trouble if they are not more careful. Last week' two prosperous colored farmers went to sleep on the railroad track just east of our village and were struck by the fast freight. The engine narrowly esoaped being thrown down the Embankment. These farmers got up and ran away, but their names are known, and as they both own property the road will probably sue for damages. The law recognizes that there is such a thing as criminal carelessness, and the sooner people recognize it, too, the better it will be for all concerned.' " ?Cleveland Plain Dealer. To Close Every Mill. Asheville, N. C., June 9.?The decision to bring about a curtailment of output by the closing of every mill in South Carolina for two weeks in July and August of this year was the feature of to-day's session of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' association. The reports read showed that at least 25 per cent, of the spindles in South Carolina are now idle and have been for some time. Addresses were made by D. R. Coker of Hartsville, Ira W. Williams of Columbia, and E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture for South Carolina, all of whom outlined the steps taken for the improvement of the staple of cotton and demonstrat-i ed the work done by the United States government along tnis line. The association expressed its sympathy with the work and voted a contribution to further it. The following officers were elected: President, E. A. Smyth, Greenville; secretary, C. S. Manning, Greenville; .treasurer, J. A. Brock, Anderson. The morning and afternoon sessions, adjournment being taken at the latter, were held behind closed doors and newspaper representatives were excluded. v . v CARRIE NATION DEAD. "Kansas Saloon Smasher" Dies in Hospital. Leavenworth, Kan., June 9.?Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher, died here to-night. Paresis was the cause of death. For several months Mrs. Nation had tteen in poor health and on January 22 she entered the local santarium in which she died, hoping there to recover from a nervous breakdown. Fearless Girl. Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in Kentucky in 1846. Her maiden name was Carrie Moor, and as a girl it is said she was absolutely fearless. In her early life she married a man adtrk tho nsp of intoxicants UXVtVU. CV V** V ? ? - which created in her an intenese aversion to the saloon. When he died she determined to devote her life to the suppression of the liquor traffic. Later she moved to Kansas and married David Nation, who sympathized with her temperance principles. Mrs. Nation's first saloon smashing was done in the barroom of the Carey hotel in Wichita December 27, 1900. She whs arrested and remained in. jail several days before she was released on bond. On January 21, 1901, armed with her favorite weapon, a hatchet, Mrs. Nation made another raid in Wichita. This time she smashed two saloons. Surprised Saloon Keepers. During the next three months, Mrs. Nation surprised the saloon keepers in various towns, appearing unheralded and leaving a trail of ruined bar room fixtures wherever she went. Remarkable few saloon men used violence in resisting Mrs. Nation although she was attacked and badly hurt while wrecking a bar at Enetrprise, Kan. By this time the State of Kansas was in a foment. Aroused by the spirit of the dauntless woman from Kentucky, the people began to demand that all the saloons be closed. Smashing parties were organized all over the State. As a result of the legislature which strengthened the agitation, bills were passed by the State prohibitory laws. Responsible for Awakening. Erratic as her life has been Mrs. Nation was responsible for the greatest temperance awakening in Kansas. Mrs. Nation, after her activities in Kansas, became a lecturer and the editor of a paper called The Smashers' Mail. She did little smashing outside of Kansas. While lecturing in New York City she created a sensation by appearing at the horse show in Madison Square Garden and demanding that the occupants of the Vanderbilt box contribute money for a home for drunkards' wives which she founded in Kansas City, Kan. The home was recently taken over by the Associated Charities in Kansas City, Mo. Indicted on Bribery Charge. Columbus, Ohio, June 9.?Three members of the general assembly and an attache were indicted on bribe charges to-day by the grand jury, which adjourned for an indefinite period. Its investigation of legislative bribery is not complete. Those indicted to-day include: Senator Thomas A. Dean (Democrat,) whose name has been attached to practically all the liquor bills during the last three sessions of the assembly; Representative Frank M. Calvey (Republican,) member of the house first calendar committee; Representative Geo. Nye (Democrat,) also a member of the calendar committee, already under three indictments for bribe soliciting; Stanley F. Harrison, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the senate. All were indicted twice and all furnished $5,000 bonds on each indictment. Though the confession of Representative Owen J. Evans this week was expected to result in a large number of indictments, there are only two of to-day's bills traceable to the confession, those against Representative Calvey, his colleague on the calendar committee. New indictments against Dr. Nye charge the solicitation of $700 and "certain moneys" from a local real estate agent and two local merchants to prevent the passage of a bill to protect game birds. Harrison was indicted for acting as intermediary in these alleged deals. Calvey was indicted for soliciting bribes. The Dean indictments go * ? _ X- T -i A AO 1 4m DacK to January, ??vo, wueu ue m alleged to have offered bribes to two of the then members of the senate to have them, as members of the senate temperance committee, vote adversely on the Rose county option bill.
