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

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.

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

of the then members of the senate
to have them, as members of the senate

bill.
Goes to Savannah.
Orangeburg, June 7.?Pro'. H. A.
C. Walker, son of Rev. Arthur
Walker, of this city, who has just
finished a successful term as superintendent
of the Denmark graded
school, will go to the Savannah high
school as English teacher next year.
Prof. Walker will be at the head of
the Athletic department of the
school.

D. J. Cain, N. Church St., Bamberg,

kidney trouble for two or three years
and during the past six months I had
such severe attacks that I could not
do my work. The pain in my back
was so acute that I could not sit
down without catching hold of something
for support and if I lay down
for awhile, I had to have assistance
in getting up. My kidneys were in
bad shape and doctors seemed unable
to do anything for me. Finally
I got a supply of Doan's Kidney
