Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, Jan. 6.?The high wind
last week felled some trees across the
K. public roads and tore down some
P fencing, otherwise no damage done.
However, some of us thought along
the line of fearful feelings when some
v tall pines were bent so near our
houses, and in one instance one blew
up and just missed a darkey house.
Had it fallen on the house some of
the inmates would have been killed.
Our mails were somewhat delayed
on account of an accident at H. & B.
t
crossing last week. The passenger
t train of the A. C. L. Railroad ran
into the passenger coach of the Mauldin
train. No one was hurt to any
extent. Coach was broken and
shaken up so as to be unfit for road
service until repaired and the A. C.
L. engine lost its cow catcher.

T CHRISTMAS PARDONS.
A Growing Custom That is Coming
n Into Great Abuse.
It Is becoming too much a custom
of American governors to pass upon
pardons at Christmas time. In this
there is a very objectionable imita- |
tion of ancient royalty. I
Unless we assume that our laws
are enforced with great severity and i
' partiality, it would seem that the hol
f iday season is the worst of all times (
to review the action of the courts.;
Then, if ever, men are governed by j
sentiment if not emotion, ana are apt
to mistake weakness for mercy.
Despots used to open their prisons
at Christmas and on royal birthdays,'
but it is to be remembered that in j
v most cases those whom they freed
were political offenders. The monarch,
full of good cheer, forgave because
he relented. Our prisoners are
/ all lawbreakers and they are as guilty
at one season as another.
Governors who feel very benign at
this time should remember that the
crimes which they forgive are not
against themselves but age'nst the
people, and that consideration of
them should be humane indeed but
always judicial.?N. Y. World.

WRECK'NEAR EHRHARDT.
C. L. Passenger Crashes Into
Coach of H. and B. at Junction.
Ehrhardt, Jan. 3.?A wreck that 1
me near being a very serious affair '
curred yesterday morning at the
and B. junction, a few miles east
here, when the regular passenger
lin on the Green Pond and Ehr,rdt
branch of the Atlantic Coast 1
ne Railroad ran into the passen- :
r coach of the Hampton and
anchville train that just at that
ne was crossing the track of the
lantic Coast Line. 1
The trucks were knocked from
ider the coach, its walls and floorg
were smashed, and possibly the
e only thing that prevented a more
rious disaster was the automatic
icoupling of the coach struck from
e forward section of (the train,
veral passengers were on board
d it was not at first known how
rious were their injuries.
Dr. John L. Copeland, of this town,
is called by wire to the scene of
e wreck. He found that Mrs. Strickad,
of Smoaks, was the only passger
that had sustained injuries of
iy consequence, and that even they
jre not serious.
In consequence of the wreck the

BOOZER PAYS DEATH PENALTY.
Electrocuted for Murder of James S.
Gilliam. A
Columbia, Jan. 2.?Sam Boozer,
colored, was electrocuted at tbe State
penitentiary this morning for the
murder of James S. Gilliam, a white
man of Newberry county, whom he
shot and killed in December, 1911.
The condemned man was strapped in
the death chair and the death deal- si
ing current switched on at 11:28, and c<
three minutes later the physicians d<
present pronounced life extinct. The n
remains were taken in charge by a at
brother, who took them back to the a;
old home, in Newberry county, for oi
burial. a
In view of some sensational stories,
which have appeared in the Georgia H
papers to the effect that the shock a
in the electric chair did not kill Sam- cj
uel N. Hyde, the Anderson county al
wife murderer, whose body after elec- U
trocution was shipped to a medical ai
college in Atlanta, several physicians hi
were invited to witness the execution w
of Boozer this morning. In three si
minutes after the shock all the doctors
present pronounced him dead. k

as to be represented at the execution
this morning by Private Secretary ct
John K. Aull, in order that the gov- t(
ernor might be in touch with the sit- si
uation up until the very minute the e<
fatal current was loosed. Only a few a:
minutes before the time Capt. Sond- ir
ley, of the penitentiary, telephoned w
the governor asking if there was any- ai
thing further, and the governor stat- A'
ed that the execution must go on m
under the showing at that time. Gov. tl
Blease had already passed upon all d<
the petitions and recommendations fr
in his hands, but wanted to be in position
to act in case there were any tc
eleventh-hour developments. tl
Boozer's dying statement was made bi
Pn'vuto Sprrpfarv Anil. He said hi
VVZ JL AATMVV WVW'v??-t; .......
that his trouble was none of his, but r<
was on the hands of white people. He
said that as a result of conditions existing
Mr. Gilliam, the deceased, was ol
trying to run all the negroes off Mr. b]
Hipp's place, that Mr. Gilliam tried to a<
kill Boozer, and that Gilliam and oth- oi
er white people caused Boozer to w
get into his trouble. He thanked the a:
officers for his kind treatment, and
said that he was ready to go home, o1
to die no more. He was specifically w
asked if he had anything more to say s<
in regard to one white man whose '
name he had mentioned as being a tl
cause of his trouble, and said that he
had not.
Gov. Blease, after the execution, ^
said that he was satisfied, in view of
all the circumstances of the case and
of the circumstances attending the
electrocution, that he had done his d
duty in refusing the petition for t]
commutation of sentence, which had a
been filed by the negro's attorney, S(
Mr. G. G. Sayle. t]
James S. Gilliam was overseer on u
the plantation of John S. Hipp, at Old f(
Town, in Newberry county, and he
was shot and killed by a negro named
Sam Boozer. Boozer was tried tl
for the killing along with Hipp, who j(

BARNWELL MERCHANT BEATEN.
Robbery Probable Motive of Two
Assailants.
Barnwell, Jan. 5.?A telephone
mesage was received here late last
' night about 11:30 o'clock to the effect
that a Mr. Hankinson, a merchant
of Walker's station, on the
Southern Railway, a few miles above
Blackville, had been attacked by two
negroes while in his place of busii
ness and severely beaten about the
head, and asked that the county
bloodhounds be rushed to the scene
at once. Sheriff J. B. Morris, Su'
pervisor G. J. Diamond and two dep
uties left in Capt. Morris's automobile,
carrying the dogs. The alleged
attempt at murder was made about
7 o'clock last evening, and owing to 1
?he delay in getting word here, it
i was several hours before the authorities

the ground. It was also learned
that shortly after the attack, two ne- /
groes were seen running down the
railroad track in the direction of ... ?;
i Blackville, and as the roadbed is
covered with coal cinders, it was impossible
to find the trail". (
. . Two strange negroes had been noticed
hanging around the little station
yesterday, it is said, and early
i last night a fire was noticed in the
> woods a short distance away, with
the two negroes beside it. About 7
o'clock a man went into Hankinson's
store to make a purchase and when
the storekeeper failed to answer him,
he noticed blood on his head. * A

CONGRESSMAN A SUICIDE. ,
Rep. Wedemeyer, of Michigan,
Jumps from Ship; Body Not Found.
Washington, Jan. 3.?'Representative
W. W. Wedemeyer, of Ann Harbor,
Mich., who suddenly went insane
at Colon, Panama, at the time
. of President Taft's recent visit to the 1 m
Isthmus, jumped overboard last mgnt
| from a ship which he had taken at
Colon. His body had not been recovered
last night.
Representative Wedemeyer went
to the Isthmus of Panama with a
congressional party at the same time President
Taft visited there. On the
t voyage from New York he collapsed
and was taken first to a sanitarium
in Panama and later was put in confinement
in a hospital, where he be|
came violent and raved about his
t defeat last election. He developed a
^ suicidal tendency and was closely
' watched.
Mr. Wedemeyer's close friends say
^ that a few days before leaving for
3 the Isthmus he fell and struck his
' head on an icy sidewalk. It was not
regarded as- serious and did not deter
him from going with the congressional
party.
Caused by Recent Defeat?
Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 3.?Al5
though it was reported that the mental
condition of Representative William
W. Wedemeyer, who, while insane,
leaped overboard from a steamI
er, was due largely to a violent fall
; on a Washington sidewalk, his local
- friends attribute the congressman's
> breakdown to the strenuous cam3
paign he went through last autumn,
which resulted in his defeat by S. W.
> Beakes, Democrat, by 200 votes, and
I his enthusiastic congressional work
in general. Mr. Wedemeyer was 40
- years old and a lawyer.
i Confirmed by Wireless.
; Colon, Jan. 3.?Confirmation was.
! received here by wireless to-day of
the report that Representative Will
liam Wedemeyer jumped overboard
from the steamer Panama, on board
I of which he had left Colon in charge
i of two nurses.
He leaped from the deck of the
vessel at 7:30 last evening. The
word of "man overboard" was given,
> and a boat lowered. The crew
. searched the surface of the sea in the
vicinity for forty minutes without
finding any trace of Mr. Wedemeyer.
