Greenville, Aug. 27.?James Wash-; ington, charged with having committed an assault upon a 14-year-old j white girl near Pelzer several weeks; ago was today convicted in the court of general sessions and sentenced by j Judge J. W. Devore to die in the electric chair September 24. The trial was one of the shortest on record for capital cases in. this court. The -boy was arraigned at j 11:15 o'clock this morning and byj 12:45 p. m. the judge had concluded j his sentence. The crime aroused great indigna-; tion among citizens at the time. The alleged assailant was brought to the 's Greenville -jail immediately after the j crime and was thence rushed to the' state penitentiary at Columbia just a 1 few minutes before a large crowd of Pelzer citizens appeared at the jail fully armed, demanding the prisoned, j After being permitted to search the! 1 * jail, they dispersed. i SUFFRAGE BECOMES LAW. * Nineteenth Amendment to Constitu- j tion Officially Takes Its P|ace. * Washington, Aug. 26.?Without: pomp and ceremony, Secretary Colby j today signed the proclamation declar- j ing the woman suffrage amendment; "to all intents and purposes a part of j the constitution of the United States." The secretary's signature was affixed to the proclamation at his home! after he had received from Governor Roberts of Tennessee the certificate that final favorable action on the 'amendment had been taken by the legislature of that state completing!, the required 36. "The seal of the United States has been duly affixed to the certificate and i the suffrage amendment is now the 19th amendment to the constitution,": Secretary Colby announced on reach-1 ing his office two hours after he had j placed his signature to the proclama-j tion. Mr. Colby was awakened at 3:45 o'clock this morning by Charles L. i Cook, state department employee,! who notified him that the Tennessee j certificate had arrived. The secretary: then called F. Nielson, deparment solicitor, to examine the Tennessee papers, also instructing the solicitor j to bring the proclamation to the see-1 reary's home at 8- o'clock. % ?

London, Aug. 2 7.?All possible doubt that former Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, and his family were assassinated in the .basement, of the prison house at Eksterinburg 011 the night of July 16, 191S, seems to be dispelled by the accounts of two in dependent investigators wnicn are I published here. One is printed by the London Times and was written by its former Petrograd correspondent, Robert Wilton. The other appears in the magazine, Nineteenth Century, and is from the pen of Capt. Francis McCullagh, of the British army, who before the war was a widely known newspaper correspondent. Both spent several weeks at Eksterinburg and talked with natives and soldiers who witnessed the affair through the window of the ill-fated house. Both writers agree on the important details of the story. The victims of the massacre, they say, numbered eleven, being the former Emperor, his wife, son and four daughters, Dr. Botkin and three servants. The assassination was arranged by Yurovski, the jailer in charge of the deposed royal family, and was carried out by twelve soldiers. The Times account says these men were Letts, but Capt. McCullagh declares they were Magyars, who had been placed on duty instead of a Russian guard because the Bolsheviki feared p "Russian cmild not be trusted for the work. . Capt. McCullagh's, story says all the doomed party except Nicholas were on their knees crossing themselves as Yurovski shouted the order for the execution of "Nicholas Romanoff, the bloody, and all of his family." The former Czar then stepped quickly in front of his wife and children, saying something wfcich could not be heard and was shot by Yurovski. Then the remainder of the/ party was shot down with revolvers and later the soldiers bayoneted the bodies, he said. A Wonder. "He's the most intelligent man I know." "What! Binks?" "Yes., He doesn't think he could write a League of Nations treaty that wo.uld be perfectly satisfactory to every one." Cotton sheets reduced to 60c at G. O. Simmons's, Bamberg, S. C.
