now _ I MURDER MYSTERY * bov.ontM CLEARED AT LAST Gogj&ssiQn of Crime Removes . ?j All Suspicion From Local Man. (Charleston Evening* Post.) Clearing up a suspicion oT murder which hung over him lor more than five years, a letter has been receiver by H. F. BremeV, Jr., oi (>1 Charlotte street, Charleston, S. C., from the sheriff of Placer 'county, California where the crime /was committed in April, 1911, stating that anotnei man, J. E. Lilcy, has made full confession of the crime, and has been sentenced for it to life imprisonment. No one of Miv Bremer's friends in this city had ever suspected him for a moment of committing the offense of which he was accused, and tinproofs of his innocence wore sc strong as to impress themselves a.such upon the jury before which he uas tried, although popular excitement ran high at che time. Never theless, it is doubtless a source o? great satisfaction to Mr. Bremer that his name has finally been cleared oi connection with a mystery which had remained unexplained up to a few days ago, and which saddened tlw last years of his parents, both o< whom arc now dead. The first news of Li ley's confession reached Mr. Bremer in a lettci from A. B. Reading, official court re porter, dated November 1G, and en closing- Liley's confession, which had been made only tire day prevoiu3. The guilty man's confession was made after he had been arrested in Salt Lake City, following certain testimony ox his wife, who had instituted proceedings of divorce against him. Liley's confession and plea of self-defense saved him from the capital penalty, but he did not escape a sentnecc of life imprisonment. No statement was received from George MeAuley, sheriff of Placer county, and who had been indefatigable in pushing the prosecution against Bremer until he was declared acquitted by a jury, until after Liley had been convicted, sentenced, and lodged safely in the State prison, at Folsom, California. His letter, just received, makes full admission of his error, and after expressing his sorrow, his mistake, adds, however, that he firmly beliveed Bremer the guilty party, and thinks that un um similar circumstances ne would act arrain just as he did. He closes vith best wishes. The confession of Liley, who seems to have suffered the worst pangs of remorse in spite of his plea of self defense, states that he was ignorant that another had been accused of the crime of which he was guilty, and reiterates that he had known of this he would have confessed at once. ] .

Clemson Collets, S. C.?Tt hat; been found by experience ami ex periments that enters is always some loss in storing hay regardless of the method used; but the loss is muc) greater when it is stacked in the open than when stored urder cover This is especially tiue in South Car olina for two principal reasons: (1 the great amount of rain and humid atmosphere make conditions favorable for the maximum amount ol leaching and decay; (2) the plants cowpeas and sorghum, ordinarily! used for hay cannot very readily be made into good, water-shedding stacks. The loss is due largely ti shattering off of the leaves and stems, leaching by rains and dews, blaching effeets of sunlight, and the various organisms of decay. It is not unusual to lose more than 20 percent of the dry matter and in addition to this a great deal more of the protein. When cowpea and sorghum hay is stacked out of doors, the stackshould be capped with a covering of grass hay to enable it to shed the water to the greatest degree. How ever, in order to reduce the loss to a minimum it is necessary to store hay under cover. o So He Thinks.

Shadpwf" re- 9 leased by Pathe and produced by 1 Astra, which will be seen at the I Pastime Theater Dec. 21, deals with ] the adventures and the love affair of 1 Jerry Carson and Leontine Walcott. 1 The story in brief is as follows: 9 Jerry Carson, American novelist, 1 while in the Bahamas finds a mes- 1 sage in a bottle washed up by the .1 sea, signed by Joseph Dexter, reeog- 1 nized as a master of synthetic chem- '1 istry. It states that Dextsr has 1 found the treasure of Sir Henry Mor- '1 gan, the buccaneer, on the South At- 1 lantic rock, known as Ravenger m Ledge. Much against the wish of his m sweetheart, Leontine Walcott, Jerry 1 starts out from Porto Dclgado to I seek this treasure. I Leontine also is wooed by Sebas- 1 tian Navarro, an Argentino, who promises to be true to Jerry. I On its voyage, the Portland Girl I takes fire and Jerry is the only one 1 V CUi John Walcott, Leontine's father, disapproves of Jerry, and favors Sebastian's suit. Walcott's business affairs are in bad shape and as Sebas- I tian is a wealthy man, he hopes to wed his daughter to the Argentine \ and thus secure the money he needs i Later when the report is spread I that the Portland Girl has been lost f with all hands, Walcott tries to per- I suade Leontine to marry Sebastian. Jerry picked up by a tramp ship from J the rock on which he had landed is \ put ashore near Porto Delgado and '? makes his way to that place. He reaches Leontine's home . just as Diego Navarro, Sebastian's brother, is telling her that Jerry had borrowed money from his brother which he had failed to return after selling the property pledged for the loan. He shows a supposed receipt for a large sum advanced by Sebastian to Jerry. This document was forged by One Lamp Louie. The signature does not deceive Leontine who defends her sweetheart. Jerry at this moment j appears in person and is welcomed jl by Leontine. He tries to get the receipt from Diego and when the latter refuses to give it up, Jerry asks Leontine to leave the room. When she does, Diego flings himself upon Jerry and in defending himelf, Jerry throws Diego to the floor and the latter strikes his head upon an iron ornament. Walcott and Sebastian, aroused by Leontine, rush to the room to find Diego dead, while Jerry stands over him holding in his hand the iron or- } nament he had picked up from the j] floor. Appearances are against j and Jerry is arrested, charged with Diego's murder. 1 o RHEUMATISM'S TERRIBLE TORTURES V With Excess Uric Acid in Your Sys- 1 tern You Can Never Be Free I From Rheumatism. 1 Why?
