THAT IS REPORT Trial Heard Yesterday Was in Ab sence of Defendant But Court Goes On. Increaser] ii.'^rest waa manifested locally ir? thc third tri?! of Lewis lt. Myers, held nt the city court yester day afternoon, locuuse of the report variously circulated throughout the city, that Mr. Myers had left town. Whether this ls true or not has not been substantiated. He was charged with selling on the afternoon of Oct. 24, alcoholic liquors to M. C. Buxter, an Atlanta detective. He was convicted. The Jury remain ed out only a few minutes and follow ing their verdict, A. H. Darnall, at torney for the defendant, gav? notice of appeal. As In the former cases against Mr. Myers, his attorney ob jected to the Jurors not being placed upon their voire dire and that body having been selected before he ex hausted his premptory challenges. He also demurred IJ the Jurisdiction of the court, which was overruled. Hobbins Excused. One of the developments of the pase was the placing upon his voire dire by the city attorney of tho Juror J. W. DobhitiB, who testified on the direct examination by Attorney Sullivan that he had expressed an opinion about thc matter and he stated that his opinion could not he changed. When questioned by Mr. Dagnall he, however, stated that if he were cho sen he would render an honest 'opin ion. Thc court excused him and Mr. DagnaH objected to tho same and had this fact recorded. The first witnesB for the city was M. C. Baxter, who testified that he was In the employ of the city ot Anderson as a detective and that he had bought beer from Lewis lt. Myers on the moiling and afternoon of October 24, paying 20 cents per botlo for same; that Mr. Myers' place 1B located over Mr. WinWord's atore on South, Main Btreet; he said that tho beer was ice, cold. On croas examination he testi fied that Mr. Jones, his partner, was also a detective and when asked If the statement made by Mr. Jones to Mr. Meyers, when he, (Baxter) was in troduced to Mr. Meyers, Baying, "he ls a friends of mine and all right" was a 'aise statement. He said that it was uot Asked if he did not consider that Mr. Jones was deliberately deceiving Mr. Myers In so introducing him, maintained that he did not think he was. Stated that he drank whiBkey frequently and had been drunk. Ask ed if he did not have to drink "by his little lonesome" except as regarded Mr. Jonea, replied "yoa^" L. W. Jones, tho next Witness, testi fied that he had been introduced to Mr. Myers by Bari Thomas. Asked if ho did not deliberately deceive Mr. Myers and tell a He when he Intro duced Mr. Baxter to him (Myers) wit ness hesitated, finally saying that he did not look at it that way. His tes timony otherwise corroborated that of iiuAu i. nM?u ii uti >-. ullin uui Teil a lie in the detective business, in or der to catch a blind tiger, said "No slr, I would not." Attorney Dagnall of the defense then said "You can take some advice from me, young roan, you will quit the detective business right now, if you look at it that way." Capt O. E. Bell of the police depart ment waa the next witness. He des cribed the arrangement of Myer's plsce and referred to the raid of same on the night of October 25. He drew a sketch vm a piece of paper and ex plained th a arrangement of the place by the me of same. Asked on cross examination If he found any liquor, sali no. Asked if he found anything there at all, except that In a locker, itald no. Asked if ho found anything in the locker, flt to drink, said no. Said that he had a search warrant when he entered the place. Earle Thomas, the nest witness, said that he introduced Mr. Jones to Mr. Myers on the night of October 23 and that Mr. Myers place was located over Mr. Wtlllford's g >c?ry store. Asked how he introduced Jones, said "Mr. Myers. Mr. Jonea" Asked on cross examination if he thought aa much of Mr. Jones now as he did two weeks ago, answered, amid the laugh ter of the court room. "No slr." The city here rested its case and the defendant offered no testimony. Mr. Sullivan argued the case along the usual lines, delivering an eloquent plea for the city. Mr. Dagnall's argu ment for the defense waa one of the best ever heard in Anderson, was logi cally gotten together. Illustrated by readings from several law books, cit ing numerous cases, on the question of former Jeopardy and contending that If the defendant waa again con victed, he would in effect have been twice coa.icted for the same offense, tn Ticlation of thc Sngia?,? cemmo? law of more than 1,000 years duration and also in absolute violation of the constitution of the United States and of the State of South Carolina. He fur ther Illustrated hts arguments con cisely with regard to a similar state of fsct tn other crimea, from the standpoint of former Jeoparty. Close ef Case. Mr. Bagnell dramatically closed his argument with a plea for Justice, mattering not who the defendant was, nor with what he was charged. He stated that no man could be crtlctsed for defending any person accused ot crime; that mere accusation of crime was not crime and that If the day ever came to pas 4a South Carolina when a man was criticised for defend ing a person simply charged with crime, that lt would indeed be a bax' day for ?he State. At no time during the trial was the I defendant present and the rumor that he ha? fled the city ls very persistent, although many discount it. Further charges against Myers will he taken up awaiti this morning, re gardless of whether or not the defen dant is present In person. IC KIM IHK ANS MA KI; GAINS I ll HOI (.

That Anderson will soon be a wholesale distributing point for flowers to all parts of North Caro lina, South Carolina and Georgia 1B thc statement made following the ar rival of V. Van Staalduijnen in An derson last night; This gentlemtn came to Anderson as a representative of a well known flower and bulb con cern of Lisse, Holland, and has agreed lu form a partnership with Purman Smith, the well known wholesale Beedsman of Anderson. They will em bark in the business on a large scale and will operate throughout three of the Southern. States. The visitor bas l>_-er, ir. America for only three weeks and he tells some very interesting stories about things going on in his country. He says that Holland fears absorption at the hands of Germany although his country ls well able to cope wth the attack of the enemy, should it ever come. "The sympathies of the greater portion of my people are with the Allies." says Mr. Staalduijnen, "lor wc believe Gie violation of thc neutrality of Belgium was a crime for which Germany will be held to account and h?r ?rrsiee will be conquered before the war is over." He says that thc German army must not be discounted; that is is a won derful machine and that lt will take months and months of v/eary fighting to ?ul lue the Germans if it Is ever done. He thinks that the war will certainly continue for two years or possibly longer, although he believes that the Allies will eventually win: Mr. Staalduijnen says that there arc hundreds of thousands of Belgians, homeless and without food, in Rolland and JU their way to that country and that thc people of his country are do ing their very best to take caro of Gie countless throngs' coming Into Hol land every day. Formerly _ hts coun try bought food stuff from ttussia, ac cording to the visitor, but they have now resorted to the United States and aro obtaining the bulk of their sup plies from this country. The foreigner says that if Germany wins an effort will certainly be made to abb-orb not only Belgium but Den-, mark and Holland as well. He says, however, that the tallest German he ever saw was but a few Inches more than six feet tall and that it. will be a comparatively simple mater to cope with them. All the people of Holland will try to get to Amsterdam and then the gates to the Dykes will be opened. Holland is nine feet below the sea level and When the gates are op oned the country will be leveled with the sea. If no German is nine feet tall, then they must all be drowned. Mr. Staalduijnen will leave Ander son this morning for Greenville and, the friends he has made in this city will look forward to his return and will welcome him as a permanent resi dent pf Anderson. .

FEATHERSTONE"; AT BETHEL Delivers One of thc Best Address Ever Heard in Anderson Sun day Morning. The address Sunday morning at Bethel Methodist church by Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Greenwood, was one of the best ever heard in Ander son. Mr. Featherstone has a statewide reputation as an orator, and this repu tation did not suffer in his address to the 300 persons who composed his au dience Sunday morning. The hour for morning service at Bethel church waB given over to Mr. Featherstone, who war. present on invitation of the pas tor. Rev. Dunner. The speaker did not confine himself to a particular subject, but his ad dress was given mostly to a discus sion of those things which make for manhood. His statement that the prac tical truths of Christianity applied to everyday life would solve many of the troubles to which we are hoir, seemed to find a ready response in his audience. His application of the needs *of boys and girls made a last ing impression on those present. "God," said the speaker, "has only made one man out of the dust of the earth. All the others have baen made out of hoys." Considerable merriment was caused over an answer by a lit tle boy when asked by the speaker what G'od made men out of. "Sand," replied the little fellow. Judging from the use made of this article by many socalled men, it seems that this little boy must be mistaken." was the re ply. Mr. Featherstone had ali the child rcr. ir. the audience to memorize and repeat after him the following three recipes for manhood and womanhood: 1. "Turn to the right and move forward." wh'.ch 1? the alga over the . entrance to Brooklyn bridge. 2. "Be sure you are right; then J go ahead," from Davy Crockett.' 3. "Cease to do evil, and learn to do well." from the Bible. We presume that by this time it is settled that both poles have been sat isfactorily discovered. At'er all the j fuss we would Uke to know what last ing good has como to humanity. Some girls handle their beaux like ! a postmaster sorting mail. IN FACT November bid best months of 1914.

C Representatives of n number of cotton dealers In this part of thc county, including Anderson cotton buyers from other sections of North and South Carolina, came tr. Ander son yesterday to confer with W. G. Sears, insurance adjuster, in regard to the cotton burned several days ago while in transit to Anderson over the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad. All told there were 28 bales in the shipment and the cotton was ship ped from Hester. S. C., by S. J. Hea ter and was consigned to the cotton warehouse in this city. Only five bales were badly burned but the re mainder of the cotton was damaged to some estent by the fire. When Mr. Sears arrived, represent ing n certain well known transpor tation insurance company, he consid ered the bids of local buyers first but decided that be could get more mon ey by shipping tho cotton. Finally the bid of Barbee and company; cot ton dealers of Raleigh, N. C., was accepted and the cotton will bo ship ped to the North Carolina town at once. It is said that the bidders were afraid to go toe. high in making ol lera for the cotton because ot Hie fact that it was hard to determine just how much damage hod been done by. the water when the Anderson fire department extinguished the flames.
