? Serious Trouble Averted.
ifc V "
Columbia, October 3.?"Serious
- trouble" was averted during the recent
street car strike at Spartanburg
by the ordering under arms of three
militia companies of the Piedmont
section, according to reports on the
incident filed to-day by Major Blvthe,
0 ' of Greenville, commanding the First
battalion of the First regiment, and
by three officers of his battalion,
p Capts. P. C. Hundley, of Clifton, J.
T. Rhett, of Spartanburg, and R. F.
Watson, of Greenville.
The point over which the officers
express most gratification was the
readiness of the men to respond at
much inconvenience to themselves
tj and the willingness of their employ'
ers to spare them for military duty
jg, * at a busy season.

DISPENSARY CASE ENDS.
Jury Unable to Reach Agreement
After Deliberating 35 Hours.
Columbia, Oct. 2.?After nearly 35
hours deliberation upon the testimony
and the law, a jury of 12 citizens
of Richland county declared itself
this morning unable to reach an
agreement as to whether L. W. Boykin,
J. B. Towill and W. 0. Tataum,
former State dispensary officers, are
I guilty or not guilty of the charge of
' 3 11 Cll? 1 ^ J.,
j cuusjnifcicy lo ueirauu uit? ouno
the purchase of 21,000,000 labels
for the old State dispensary from Nivissen-Weiskopf
Company, of Cincinnati,
in the early part of 1905.
Judge Wilson expressed his regret
that no agreement could be reached,
! but refrained from censure or criticism
and discharged the panel,
j It is understood that the jury
stood ten for acquital and two for
conviction up to the time of the convening
of court at 10 o'clock this
morning.
The trial of these former officials
of the dispensary was commenced
last Tuesday morning, both the State
and the defense being represented by
- Iftorol toloTlt
H UlSUligUiBUeu anaj \jl it^ui wvui,#
No Witnesses for Defense.
The State closed its case Saturday
afternoon about 1 o'clock and the defense
annuoncing that they would
put up no testimony, the arguments
were immediately gone into and after
a charge by Judge Wilson, the indictment
was given to the jury and they
retired to make up their terdict at
11:15 on Saturday night Court
waited for their verdict without adjourning
until 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
when Judge Wilson left an
evelope and requested that if a verdict
should he arrived at, it should
be sealed and left to be opened when
court convened on Monday morning
at 10 o'clock.
At 10 o'clock thi$ morning the jury
had not come out of their room.
When court was called to order Judge
Wilson ordered the sheriff to bring
them out. The roll was called with
due formality and the question was
asked: "Gentlemen of the jury, have
you reached a verdict?"
Mistrial Formally Ordered.
"We have not," responded Mr. N.
0. Pvles, the foreman.
Judge Wilson expressed himself as'
regretting very much that the jury
had not been able to reach a verdict,
but he stated that he would refrain
from offering any censure or criticism
of their course. After thanking
them for their patience in the case,
he ordered a mistrial and the panel
discharged.
It is understood that the majority
M nMnUtal TTrv
ui tut; jur<y wao iui av4uti>iot.
until Monday morning, it is believed
that there were nine for acquittal
and three for conviction but, it is
said* one the three agreed to a verdict
of not guilty. The other two,
however, were not able to see their
way to acquitting the defendants and
hence the mistrial is the result of the
week's work in the circuit court.
FARMER VERDICT UPHELD.
Supreme Court Renders Decision
Against W. H. Sellers.
Columbia, Oct. 2.?Some interesting
points in regard to the proper
serving of search warrants, and the
right of a man to defend his home,
are made by the supreme court in
4-V.rv Janicinn nf + Vl Q T? 1 f Vl ?
up iiUiUlUg, UilC ucvimwu VI. ??v
land county court, by which May W.
Farmer, the wife of a dispensary
constable, was awarded a judgment
of $5,00 from Wade H. Sellers, who
shot to death Constable James P.
Farmer, while he was making an
entry into the home of Sellers.
In affirming this civil verdict, the
supreme court reviewed the testimony
and charge taken in the trial,
in which Sellers was acquitted of the
murder of Farmer.
In making the decision on the civil
issue, the court appears to hold
that Farmer, in entering the home
of Sellers, was acting in a legal manner,
by right of a search -warrant,
and under legal appointment of the
governor. It also appears to hold
that although having kept 48 days
after the date of its issuance, the
warrant had not been held an unreasonable
length of time.
What Constitutes Success?
A man who has made a happy
Home ior nis ware ana cniiaren, no
matter what he has not done in the
way of achieving wealth and honor;
if he has done that he is a grand
success. If he has not done that,
and it is his own fault, though he he
the highest in the land, he is a most
pitiable failure. We wonder how
many men in a mad pursuit of gold
which characterizes the age, realize
that there is no fortune which can
be left to the families as great as
the memory of a happy home.
Negro Fires House.
Jesse Rogers, a negro boy of 18
years, has been committed to Bennettsville
jail on the charge of setting
fire to the residence of C. P.
Hodges. The fire was set Monday
night at 8:30, but was found before
it had made much headway and was
extinguished.

What are you doing for your
town? If you have no confidence in
the growth and improvement of the
town and country in which you live
how on earth do you expect other
people to move among you and cause
the country to develop and grow for
your benefit?
THE COLORED FAIR.
The fourth Annual Fair of the Colored
Farmers of Bamberg County
wil begin, November 15th, 16th, and
17th. This will take place at the
old fair ground at the Vorhees In
dustrial School, under tne. auspices
of the Negro Farmers Fair Association.
The object of this fair is to show
our progress along industrial lines
and stimulate our people to a greater
effort
The demonstrations of the farmers'
co-operative demonstration work
are to make a great display of the
products grown on their special
acres. They are planning to have a
great corn show. Members of the
Boys' Corn Club will make a display
of their corn. '
We want this to be "booster" fair,
to boost our great county by showing
the products grown on its soil and
the great prospects for the future.
We want all the farmers, ministers,
teachers, and all who desire
the progress of all the people to
come and help make this fair a success.
Space will be given to any of our
nr.sifc fHonrla who mav desire to
TT'UiW^ &A AVMV?M ?? i 1 1 ? ? ?
make a display of any of their products.
We cannot afford for them to
be better to us than we are to them.
We also make a special appeal to
them to help us in this great "boosting"
and uplifting movement.
South Carolina stands third in the
average yield of corn and cotton. We
want our State to take the first
rank. County fairs will go a long
way to solve that problem. With the
aid of our white friends, we are going
to have one one of the greatest i
industrial fairs ever held in this
county. 1
ATTRACTIONS.
While we shall make our agricul- ,
tural and industrial exhibits of the 1
fair the main feature, driving and |
speeding spirited horses around our
quarter mile .track will be a specialty 1
among other attractions. We shall |
have a merry-go-round and a splendid
brass band. A match game of ball 1
will be played each afternoon, follow- |
ed by a concert at night. Rev.
Richard Carroll will speak to the '
people on the* last day, November i
17th, 1911.
