Columbia, Dec. 6.?The supreme . court was to-day asked to grant a ! new trial to Samuel N. Hyde, the Anderson white man, who was convicted of the murder of his wife and , sentenced to be hanged on November 20. Mr. L. L. Rice, of Anderson, ' #?.. iVi/v mon a ILUi lie V 1UI tile tvuucuiucu Uiuu, appeared and argued the motion, . which was an appeal from the decision of the Anderson court. Hyde is the Anderson man, who, in the dead 5 of night, entered his wife's room in ^ her father's house and shot her, the shot wounding a little sister, who was sleeping in the same bed. Hyde ( shot and killed his father-in-law when the latter came to the defence of his daughter. Pleading that it was his duty to kill his wife because her father would not let him live with her, Hyde when ararlgned for trial, wanted to plead guilty of murder, but the court appointed Mr. Rice to defend him and, according to law, would not accept the plea of guilty. Hyde was found guilty and was sentenced to be hanged on the 20th of November, but the appeal to the su- . preme court stayed the sentence. It is said that Hyde says he is willing to die and wants to be buried by the side pf his slain wife. Many - ' - J people tOinK ne is ueuieuicu, emu. should not be hanged. Gov. Blease ! refused to interfere with the sen- 1 tence, and Hyde will remain in jail it Anderson pending the outcome of . the appeal to the highest court. . ' Woman Owns Up. 3 New Orleans, Dec. 8.?Swearing { that she bore false witness against Chas.

When discovered < the fire was burning at the junction < cf one shed with, the upper portion 1 cf the two-story building. The sup- j position is that the fire started from ] i spark thrown off by a passing loco- < motive. i Besides the machinery, there were j stored in the building about 500 tons 1 cf cotton seed meal and the only sal- ] vage was a few tons of meal. The total loss is estimated at about $25,- < 500, which is practically covered by s insurance. 1 Manager C. R. Sprott says that as < soon as the debris can be cleared work will be commenced on rebuilding, but there will necessarily be a late start for next season's fertilizer business. t Jerry Moore Still Leads. Jerry Moore, of Winona, in Flor- 1 cnce county, remains the undisputed J ihampion corn grower of the world. 1 He last year produced 228 bushels 1 md three pecks of corn on one acre * Df land, and his record has not been equaled this year. 1 Several days ago a report was re- ' seived from North Carolina to the affect that a boy in that State had 1 produced 231 bushels of corn on one { acre. The yield of the North Caro- 1 lina boy was examined by O. B. Mar- { tin, of Washington, head of the boys' aorn club work; L. O. Schaub, head Df the corn club work in North Carolina, and E. N. Clark, of the indus- j trial department of the Atlantic Coast j Line Railway. It was found that he had produced only 195 bushles on i the acre, which, of course, will elim- i inate him from the class of Jerry Moore. ] The champion corn grower in 1 5outh Carolina for this year's crop 1 is Claude McDonald, of Hamer, Dillon county. According to a report ? Sled with G. B. Haddon, in charge 1 the corn club work !n this State, i tie has produced 210 4-7 bushels of 3orn on one acre of land. Jerry i Moore this year produced 178 bush- t jls on his acre at a cost of 18 cents t per bushel. ] - . NOOSE GIVEN UP FOR PULPIT. Former Hangman to England's King Swung Innocent Men. England's one-time hangman, Jas. Berry, 60 years old, who is now a Methodist preacher, has arrived here Dn board the White Star steamship Cedric from Liverpool, says a New York special. He is to make a tour 3f this country and Canada. wnne tne uearic was on us wa/ up the bay from quarantine to-day Mr. Berry told the newspaper men 3tories of the days when he hanged is many as one person a week. "My methods of - hanging were bumble," said the reformed hangman. "I tried to investigate every 2ase independently that I was called in as executioner, but even then I made mistakes and swung men from the gallows that I afterward learned svere innocent. It was this discovery that forced me to give up the position of hangman to his majesty the King of England. "My work as hangman was not confined to any particular city. I traveled to the place where a person svas to be hanged and afterward returned to my home in Cumberland, waiting for the next call. I hanged L93 persons and assisted in the hanging of 500 others." Mr. Berry said it was after he had hanged an innoqent man, the husband of Mrs. Mary Lesley, of Wrangle, Lincolnshire, charged with killing his wife with poison, that he decided to lay aside his noose and demote his time to working for God. Nine years and nine months after :he hanging he received the deathbed message of a man who had killed the wdman. The case was in many respcts like the Crippen case. Hoke Smith a Marked Man. Washington, Dec. 6.?Under the leadline, "The Renunciation of Hon. Hoke Smith," a Washington afternoon paper comments to-day on the fact that yesterday he refused to accept $3,000 back salary, and characterizes'him as a marked man. This story says: "Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has astonished his compatriots and colleagues in the senate by refusing td take wages which he did not earn. It appears he was elected last July 12, but he did not take the oath of office until the first day of this session. Something like $3,000 had ac cumulated in senate salary to his credit, but when the disbursing functionary tendered him the amount he refused to take it, and ordered it turned back into the federal treasury. "This is a strange proceeding for i member of congress. True, if one were to go out on the street to-day ind hire a man to work about his house or his yard or his farm, and the man aforesaid did not begin operations until five months hence there would be no accumulation of wages in the meantime. The hired man would not even think of asking it. But this is not the senate way Df doing things. About the only case en record before Senator Smith came to town of a statesman refusing salary he had not earned was when David B. Hill, of New York, was sleeted, but was compelled to remain in Albany for a time. He, too, refused to accept the salary. But this was not allowed to be considered a precedent. "The Hon. Hoke Smith has branded himself with the outset as an insurgent. He will be a marked man from this time forth in senate circles." County Democrat Burned Out. Beaufort, Dec. 7.?The building occupied by the Beaufort Printing md Publishing Company, which publishes Jhe County Democrat under the management of Charles Bellinger, with all of its contents, was totally destroyed by fire early this morning. The building was owned ay Mrs. C. H. Armstrong, of Charleston, and there was no insurance. The Beaufort Printing and Publishing Company's loss is estimated it $2,000, with no insurance. Adjacent buildings were saved only by :he heroic work of the firemen. The arigin of the fire is unknown, but It is supposed to have caught from i defective, flue. Reflections of a Bachelor. A man has to have so many opincns in politics he's afraid to express my one of them. A man is always willing to tell his ivife everything he did since morning vhen he was in the office all day. If the house caught on fire a wo- i nan couldn't stop telephoning her < jest friend what the baby was trying < :o say. The reason a girl can wear low shoes and thin stockings in cold weather is she's too delicate to help mother about the house. When a girl tells a man how her mother tells her she used to act when she was a baby she considers it makes i ;hem as good as engaged.?New York Press. , i . .... i ? ... . * ... . " THIS FLOOD WAS USEFUL. Saved $1,000,000 in Cutting Short Channel Where Needed. The recent flood in the Skagit river, Washington, did a big piece of engineering work for the United States government. In 24 hours, and without a cent of expense, it saved the government $1,000,000 in money and one year in. labor. The stream cut through Sterling Bend, above Mount Vernon, where a channel now runs 300 feet wide and 20 feet deep. For 17 years the federal government has considered this improve ment and many surveys have been made. The cut-off Is through a neck of land 80 rods wide. It shortens the distance from Mount Vernon to Sedro-Wooley three and a half miles, giving a good steam channel where a long and dangerous one existed before. Blease in Senate. Washington, Dec. 7.?Gov. Cole L. Please was in Washington yesterday attending the National Rivers and Harbors Congress. He visited the capitol and saw most of the members of the South Carolina delegation and was introduced to a num ber or prominent uemocrauc leaaers, including House Leader Underwood. He told Mr. Underwood that he would he for him for president if he thought a man from the South could be elected. The senate was not in session, but the governor took a look at the senate chamber and remarked that he would have a seat in it. He goes to Baltimore to-day to attend the irrigation conference. Union Policeman Disappears?Short. Union, Dec. 6.?Sergeant C. B. Gregory, of the police force of this city, has left for parts unknown, and. it is alleged, since his disappearance, it has been discovered that the city is short $403, which,he had collected for fines and $235, which was the net amount the police department received from the carnival held here recently, and $17, an overdraft on a bank. It seems that Gregory disappeared last Thursday night or Friday, the first intimation that he had gone being a note, which hts wife found under his pillow Friday morning. This note reads: "Am leaving home; will take care of you and babies. You \yill hear from me soon. Yours, C." The matter was kept quiet for a while, pending an investigation, but the news soon leaked out. Chief of Police Evans was very busy Monday with others checking over the police accounts and it is Chief of Police Evans's statement that the amount short in all is $665. Gregory, it is alleged, signed his own name and that of H. H. Hicks, who was one of the custodians of the carnival fund, to the check. Soon after Gregory's disappearance, Chief of Police Evans went in search of him, but returned without having located him. It is understood that there is an effort on foot to make up the amount that Gregory took, but Mayor Duncan stated that the law would have to take its course, although as yet a warrant has not been issued. Gregory is a man about 25 years old, irather tall and of a nice appearance. He leaves a wife and two children. It is reported that he had been drinking rather heavily lately. SAID TO HAVE CONFESSED. Southern Baggage Master Accused of Stealing $500. Albany, Ga., Dec. 6.?B. M. Ramsev a baeeaere master on the Atlan tic Coast Line railroad, who was arrested last night on the charge of stealing a package containing $500 from the express company safe, today, it is said, broke down and confessed. The theft was committed September 3, and since that time Express Messenger Bradford, who occupied the car jointly with Ramsey, has been paying back the money lost in monthly installments. Holly Hill School Burned. Holly Hill, Dec. 7.?The high school building at this place was destroyed by fire late yesterday afternoon. The origin of the fire is unknown as it caught an hour or more after school had been dismissed for the day. The building was almost new, and was fully equipped throughout. The loss is not less than $6,500 with $3,750 insurance. The school is in a most flourishing condition under the able management of Prof. J. B. Koon, and a fine corps of assistants. The enrolment is almost two hundred. School opened promptly this morning. Temporary quarters will be found in the town hall and churches. The trustees and patrons have not yet had time to plan for rebuilding. There is one thing of which all are certain; that means will be found for replacing the building at an early date. % - *-r : I==0B300E30C=B| H ? j] M Fine line of these wf" 7\ u 1111113 AXD TRIED \/jMw<sr(yam\ PIANOS, also the 11 ji 3 ID famous BOARD* M HI /-*> fi MAN AND GRAY, M n z ?n' j .
