WHITAKKK FOUND GUILTY. 3
i Gets 2 Years. Appeals.?Girl Again One
IJe'uses to Wed Him.
Lexington, June IS.?"Guilty" was W
the verdict of the jury in the case o; rura
the State against Godfrey E. Whitak- tabli
er. a young man of the Swansea sec- try,
tion of this county, who was charged nour
with wronging the 17-year-old daugh- sigm
ter of a well known Lexington county son .
' farmer. It took the jury less than mac!
ten minutes to reach a verdict. Judge Ui
Gary promptly overruled a motion for nate
a new trial and imposed a sentence long
of two years on the defendant. The hide
case was appealed, the young man 01
. giving bond in the sum of $1,000. auto
This was one of the most interest- Okla
ing cases ever tried in the county? forn
because of the prominence of the par- Pent
ties connected, and because of the un- Thes
usualness of the circumstances and road
the Dosition taken by the defence, inau
Four proffers of marriage were made T1
by the defendant during the progress ed b;
of the trial, one at the conclusion of from
the State's case yesterday; one be- 300.
! fore the case was given to the jury; in n
one at the conclusion of the speech now
of defendant's counsel, and the hide
fourth immediately after the verdict ficial
was rendered. Each time the young pens
woman "turned down" the proposi- an a
tion, upon the ground, she said, that
the defendant was not sincere in his
intentions; that he did not offer to
Si
marry her until after the warrant for
his arrest had been made.
In pronouncing* sentence Judge cottc
Gary departed from his usual cus- ??at
sive
torn, and took occasion to lecture the
givp?
defendant. Judge Gary said in part:
"Godfrey E. Whitaker. a jury of your tolui
county has found you guilty of ruin- ^urs
in?r a vrmnp- e-irl under a Dromise of 'n^s
marriage. Under the testimony in enou
this case I heartily concur in their
findings. I do not wish to add any- reacl
thing unnecessarily to your trouble; the s
pithc
or to harrow your feelings, but I
wish to say this: That there is noth- imPa
t ll0
ing more despicable than for a strong
man to entice a young girl from the ^>een
path of virtue and then desert her rout<
in her hour of trouble. It is true * a*
that after the law reached out its land
hard
hand for you, you have offered to
I lean
marry her, and you have continued to .
offer to marry her; and at the same s sn
time you disclaim the parentage of
the child. In other words, your conduct
is such as to create a well found- p
ed suspicion on her part that you
are not sincere in your offers: an^!<jrini
such an offer as that to marry this nati(
woman, and, at the same time dis-j^. ^
claiming the child, does not create for b
much respect for your plea with the g0
court. I hope by the time you serve term
the sentence which th$ law imposes jjerg
you will have reflected on your con- vo(jk
duct and that you will come back j p?
and make a man of yourself. I do ..
er t.
not want to impose such a lengthy back
sentence on you as will break you tiondown
so you will have no chance in
cons<
life; and for that reason I will make {
it lighter than I otherwise would agaij
make in order that you may have remc

WHAT IS LLOYD'S?
Sketch of English Corporation Almost
as Strong as Government,
"Lloyd's" is about as 6table an institution
as the Bank of England in
British estimation. In fact, it is almost
as intimately connected with
the financial business of the United
Kingdom as is the "Old Lady of
Threadneedle Street" herself, says
the_ Providence Journal. And
Lloyd's, which is ready to insure
*V.a QrnticV* fl oot Q
everv uuu&, uuui uic ?w?w
against danger from the air or the
water to a London baby against the
whooping cough, is more in evidence
than ever since the beginning of this
great war.
A1 at Lloyd's is a colloquialism
frequently heard in England when
one inquires from another, "How are
you?" but its true meaning is a mystery
to many people. It originated
at Lloyd's, the great institution at
the rear of the Royal exchange,
which "Punch" once described as a
place where "an ill wind blows nobody
good."
Edward Lloyd, believed to be the
founder and name-giving godfather
of this famous institution, kept a
roffee house on Tower street in the
latter part of the seventeenth century,
which became a favorite resort
of persons connected with shipping.
\bout 1692, he removed his establishment
to the corner of Abchurch
lane and Lombard street, where it
was liberally patronized by the shipping
community, who used it as a
rendezvous for the transaction of
?Miei?oQC Raip? nf vessels were
iai ij u ?
idvertised in the London Gazette,
tv'ith the information that the inventories
could be seen at Lloyd's
coffee house. In 1 696. Lloyd estabished
a tri-weeklv paper, devoted
:o commerce and shipping, giving it
:he title of Lloyd's News. But after
in existence of not quite six months
:he paper was suspended because of
i trifling ofTence to the government.
News letters, however, furnishing
commercial and shipping intelligence,
were regularly issued to the
frequenters of Lloyd's establishment,
which had already become the
recognized headquarters of shipping
people.
In 1726 Lloyd's News was resuscitated
in an improved form, under the
title of Lloyd's List and Lloyd's cofTee
house became the headquarters
af maritime business, including maritime
insurance. Lloyd's List is now
the official publication of the great
corporation known as Lloyd's. Since
1836, it has been published with the
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette,
but it is intended to issue it as a distinct
daily paper, with the latest
movements of shipping and with
commercial information.
Illicit wagering and gambling polices
were issued about 1700, and the
more respectable frequenters of
Lloyd's coffee house finally transferred
their headquarters to Pope's
head alley, which they called New
Lloyd's, but after four years they established
a new home at the Royal
jxchange. The directors of Lloyd's,
humbly styled "the committee for
managing the affairs of the coffee
house," exerted a far-reaching sway
jver British commerce in those days,
xnd we're acknowledged by the government
as the head of a powerful
nstitution. Prime ministers had to
ceep on good terms with Lloyd's: reports
of important events usually
eached the cofTee house before geting
to Westminister and Whitehall,
so that the committee of Lloyd's assumed
toward the government the
josition of a power in the State.
On May 25, 1871, royal assent was
jiven to an act incorporating the
nembers of the establishment or society
formerly held at Lloyd's coffee
n~?1 in fhfi
louse, uie n.uvai cAvuaugc, ???
itv of London, "for the effecting of
narine . insurance, and generally
<nown as Lloyd's, and for other purposes."
There are some 6">0 underwriting
uembers of Lloyd's. They appoint
ihout 100 agents, who write for
hem in different syndicates, the later
taking up risks in blocks. All

Tommy looked at the clock. "Te

Tommy's hand dived into the pocl

tees provided by the underwritin
members of the corporation as secu:
ity for their underwriting liabi'litie
are said to amount to 7,000,00
pounds sterling.
In 1834, Lloyd's Register was ir
stituted. It has become a bulky vo
ume, containing full details of Bri
ish ships, their classification, carrj
ing capacity, engines and ownershi]
and giving the name of the con
mander. The Register is brougt
up to date each week, and the con
mittee responsible for the publicatio
is composed of shipowners and m<
is composed of shipowners and mei
chants in the great British seaport:
The committee has a surveyor in a
the principal ports of the world. Th
men, however. responsible fc
Lloyd's Register are a separate bod
from the great insurance corporatio
known as "Lloyd's," which is virtua
ly a business club.
As the underwriters in the earl
days at Lloyd's desired to know tb
condition of ships before effecting a
j insurance of the vessels or their cai
I goes, they engaged captains to ir
spect the ships. If a vessel wa
sound in hull it was placed in Clas
A. If satisfactory in equipmen
which in the bygone days of woods
sailing vessels included sails an
ropes, it was classed Al. Since iro
and steel superseded wood in th
construction of vessels, differen
classification has become necessary
and "100 Al" is the highest cias
for well constructed and equippe
steamships. Second class vessels ar
designated at "90 Al." and ship
with a good hull, but not efficien
equipment, figure in class A.

VERY FEW LIVE LONG.
And Why This is True of Those Who
II Live in the Present.
e Scientists who see today how few
*
people live to be 100 years old And
" themselves at a loss to explain how
i- Methuselah managed to live 969
5- years, while Noah reached the rei
spectable age of 595 years. Recent>f
ly, however, a discovery has been
>c Triad a which hclra to exnlain this > f-K
mystery, says the Washington Post. V
if When the causes of short life nowr
adays are counted up it is found that
most of the deaths are due to dis~
ease. Very few people die from old
s from any one disease is that theyr"
from and one disease is that they
:s have been weakened by other illnesses
which they have had or which
have been handed down to them by
their ancestors. For example, one
1", widespread social scourge . which
weakens the constitution of many
r~ men and women was probably unknown
in primitive times.
1_j To some of these diseases the hultj
man race has become so accustomed
that.it is immune. Measles will kill J ,%>:
? off a whole Indian tribe, but among
!r j the white races it is only an annoyr"
ing childhood malady. But the vas
riatio'ns of disease increase far more
H rapidly than the immunity.
e Noah and the patriarchs didn't
ir have nearly as many different kinds N .
y of diseases to face because they had
n not had enough ancestors to hand
them down a variety. Consequently
their constitutions were not constanty
ly being weakened as are ours toe
day. For example, there is no refern
ence in very ancient literatures to a
r- cold in the head. The Greeks and
i- Romans seem to have been the first
.s peoples to suffer from it.
is The real reason why the patriarchs
t, lived longer than we do now was ben
cause in those days the fount of.hud
manity was fresher. While immunn
ity to certain diseases has been hande
ed down to us by our parents, we
it have also received the weakened vi*,
tality which was theirs as a result
s of their fight against disease. Sooner
d or later the race will become imr'une
e to tuberculosis, but with that ims
munitv will come the diminishea
t power as a result of mankind's long
fight against the white plague.
