Annual Laymen's Sunday.
Tlui colobation of Laymen's Sun
day here lasl Sunday by the Pres
byterians primarily but which was
also particapatcd in by all denomi
nations of tho town is a matter of
much significance in tho religious
affairs of our people. It was a
departure from the beaten paths
as it were ami the wisdom of Dr.
McLeod and his members in such
a course is shown by the great
success of the, occasion.
In the religious interests the
Pastor, while he is the leader ano!
should be, can not do all. The
members themselves must take
part or else there can bc very lit
tle accomplished no matter how
hard thc pastor may work. If thc
members go day after day, pay
their church dues ami then leave
all for thc pastor to do very little
can bc accomplished. As thc
Methodist pastor, Kev. Mr. Turn
ipsecd, said in a .sermon which he
preached at the Methodist church
a few weeks-ago, there is a grow
ing breach between thc pastor and
some of the male members and es
pecially the business men. The
business men work hard day and
night for six days out of the week
and they have very little time to
devote, to thc church linties.
ThC.y leave this for their wives
ano! while they foot thc financial
part they take too little interests
in thc church affairs. But as wc
said in thc beginning we ere glad
to sec thc spirit taking hold of thc
Laymen to take more part in this
work as was evidenced last Sun
day. This should bc encouraged.
We heard a mah say the other
day that he thought it would bc a
linc thing to have at least once a
year, what might bc termed a uni
on laymen's Sunday. That is for
all thc denominations of the town
to unite and set a day apart for
this and then to have a. laymen
from each denomination to take
part in the exercises. Wc think
that this is a line idea and. present
the idea for what it is wortta.
Let Him Hang.
Jim Malloy has been sentenced
to death. From the decidion of
thc jury that he was guilty ?nd
from the court that he must die (he
appealed to the supreme court.
This body refused^to grant a new
trial and sent the case hack. Wo
was sentenced to hung in May ai d
we say, let him hung. He is .a
murderer, convicted l>,\ Uvchva
men and ail the cuorts have re
fused to interfere. Jt is tune that
some murderers bc made to pay
thc penalty and we hope that the
Governor a 21 d t h c pardoning
hoard will refuse to interfere with
tho'sentencc of death. Thc (.nat -
ter with this country now is that
there is too much interference
with the law and then lynchers
make this their excuse. L<-t ,Jini
Malloy hang for he deserves it if
niau ever did. We repeat that
wc hope that the effort to {/et the
sentence commuted will fail and
that he will die on thc '.'Jud day
of May on thc gallows.
"I do wish there was an ice fac
tory here;*' Hennettsville citizens
in the hot days.
? ? .
Hennettsville should bc in the
state, league. This town is plenty
able to support a ball team and
should have one.
The sound of hammer and thc
saw is heard every day in this
town now us new buildings are br
ing built where the lire destroyed
the former edifices.
. ?.> ?
The work of the co.;i t is bein;;
pushed right along. Judge Ald
rich and Solicitor Spears are right
up to tho business and believe ill
saving all thc time possible.
rpj.y unie oy Governor Ansel
und Dr. Smith last Sunday was as
good as could bo desired. Our
Governor is a Christian gentleman
und South Carolina should reelect
him this summer without oppositi
on, lie deserves it.
. . w
Candidates arc slow in announc
ing themselves in this County.
In many counties they have al
ready had their canis in the pa
pers for several weeks. Bettor
get busy gentlemen and send in
your cards. %
.??.?..
Several papers are predicting
that IO. I). Smith will bo elected
Senator. We are not sure about
this. In Tact if we were called
upon to pick the probable winner
wc would say Hayward and ho
would lill the place mighty well.
??* M> <.>
What an awful thing is death!
We heard .Judge Aldrich pro
nounce sentence of death on the
wife murderer ?lim Malloy, the
other day and thc words which
pronounced his doom were solemn
and awe inspiring when their full
meaning was real i/.ed. And yet
the condemned man smiled all thc
time. Ile could not have realized
the real meaning of the sentence.
Each word felt like the cutting
of the sharp knife blado and no
words were wasted. A few more
such sentences and thoro would be
less murders and less murderers.

CROSSES OF HONOR.
For Widows and Their Descen
dants.
Owing to the difficulty in secur
ing certain information, we have
been dclaj/cd in making the follow
ing announcement.
According to tho rules for thc
bestowal <$!" crosses of honor, wid
ows and Ascendants of veterans,
un? entitled to receive the cross of
deceased veterans, Widows "must
ht ve endured thc hardships of thc
vsiKv period" thus proving themsel
ves to hat? been true Confederate
women. Tho second wile of a vet
eran is uat entitled to receive thc
c.: oss. LirvMil descendants only arc
allowed ia inherit thc cross of an
Ancestor. Thc oldest living child,
?i n or daughter, has first claim.
li there ano no brothers or sisters,
oe widow Hving, thc oldest grand
scan pr daughter may inherit. But
in no case arc nephews or pi?ces
eligible. Tine widow may bequeath
the cross tc any lineal descendant
of (ber 'husband. Inno case may
the-'ross bc worn by ?. widow or
descendant, ?obis honor belongs on
ly to iii vin g eternos.
The Mani boro Chapter most
gladly tfonfonrcd the crosses on
tho surviviiig veterans, free of
cost, but they connot do this favor
for rlcseendarits or widows, not,
ihaving tiao ftrods for the purpose. !
ItCvCry applicant will bc expected
to pay tho cost o? the cross, which
will bo twenty live cents apiece.
OnJy thc widows and descendants
of soldiers enlisted from Marlboro
coiuftty will be considered,
Mr. CD Easter ling has kindly
consented to take charge of thc
bluniks, and assist the applcants in
Miling them. They must also bo
approved by two or more mem
bers of Camp Mcnegati. Wc urge
all who arc entitled to do so, to
make immediate application. It. is
a duty we owe to our ancestors, ;
who bravely offered their lives in
defense of their country. While
tho opportunity is offered every
rightful claimant should secure
this badge of honor, that it may
remain in the family and perpet
uate the memory of loved ones
who served loyally even unto
death.
The next bestowal will be made
on Memorial day, M ay 8th. Unless
immediate application is made, we
will not bo able to secure tho
crosses in time for this date. Tho
cross.' i will bc marked with the
name of tho ancestor, iii whoso
name the application ls made.

Thc recent fear fid catastrophe
at North Collingwood, Ohio, when
161 school children wore swept
into eternity, has aroused teachers

stress upon presence of mind, up
on instant obedience, upon cour
age and calmness in thc midst of
danger. Wc learn that Bonnotts
ville is doing sornospecial training
along these lines. Though Bon
nettsvillo seems fated in thc matter
of conflagrations, other places arc
not exempt, and it were well to
train our children tobe prepared
for an emergency.

COHEN IS AGAIN FREE
Was AcpuiUed in a Few Minutes
Wednesday.
The ease of the state against N
B (lohen, charged with breach ol'
trust with fraudulent intent was
taken up on Tuesday afternoon
and after an all day trial Wcd
nosday thc case was given to the
jury late that afternoon. The
jury was out only a few minutes
and returned a verdict of not guil
ty, thus making Cohen a free man.
On the announcement of the ver
dict the large crowd which was
present in the court room could
hardly restrain themselves from
giving vent to their feelings in
cheers. Quite a collection was
taken up and Cohen went from the
court room with a tidy little sum
in his pocket and the sympathy of
the vast; majority of spectators.
The prosecutor in the case was
thc Chicago Crayon Company.
They first had ('oben arrested on
the charge that he was guilty of
embezzlement. Cohen had writ
ten the company that he had lost
some money but they had him ar
rested anyhow. The ease was
thrown out by Magistrate Kaster
ling Then the swearing out of
another warrant for Cohen, his
liinght into North Carolina, and
his rearrest and bringing back
here, his preliminary at Clio are
all fresh in the minds of the peo
plc and need not be told.
lt is to .! W LeG rand that
('oben owes his liberty. Mr Lo
Grand feeling that ('oben was be
ing persecuted and that he was in
nocent, interested himself in the
the cn se and fought it step by
step through l h e magistrates''
courts and up to the circuit court
where he won a deserved and com
plete victory for Hie cause of the
oppressed a ll d innocent young
man. Mr Let ?rand served with
out pay of any kind and at the
close of the trial Wednesday af
ternoon thc people crowded about
him to congratulate himupon Iiis
victory. Mr LoGrand had arrayed
against him some of thc leading
members of the local bar.
Cohen is at present at the home
of Mr. Charlie Crosland will make
this his home in ease he can lind a
position. He is capable and will
ing to work and would make some
body a good man.
Cohen was represented by Lo
Grand and MeColl and the prose
cution by Townsend and Rogers,
and Livingston ami Mueller. The
