Acquitted of Charge
WillUm M. Beasley Found Not Guilty
of Manslaughter in Charleston
Court.
I
Charleston, June 6.—William M.
Beasley, tried in the Charleston court
of general sessions Tuesday on f
enlarge of manslaughter in connection
with the death, last September 3, of
Ada Cox, was acquitted by the jury
considering the ease. The woman was
killed when the automobile in which
ahe and Beasley were riding crashed
into a truck near the northern city
limits of Charleston. Beasley con
tended that the woman was driving
the car, was at least partially under
the influence of liquor at the time.
Beasley, on the witness stand in
his own hehalf, declared 'that " he
went to the houae wheroathe woman
stayed in an effort to find a man who
had given him a worthless check for
insurance. He said that not finding
th man there he wa 8 about to leave
to go to Seven Mile to see about ether
insurance collections when the woman
announced that she was going with
him. Th# woman, Beasley said, got
under the steering wheel of the car
and he could not persuade her to let
him drive. After the wreck, Beasley
said, he attempted to stop several
passing cars but no one would heed
him in his effort to have the woman
taken to the hospital. On cross ex
amination Beasley admitted that he
had taken a drink, with the woman be
fore leaving the house. When he
finally reached a place whore a man
consented to go with him to take the
woman to the hospital, Beasley testi
fied, snd the two of them wer e going
hack toward the scene of the wreck
he was informed that the woman had
already been removed from the scene..
He said he asked the driver-of - the <
car to take him home where was
later arrested.
Beasley was defended by ("ol. Kdgar

FARM CROPS IN NF.Kl»
* OK GOOD SQUARE MEAL
The simple fact that even with
cotton and corn nothing will take the
place of u good square meal accounts
|or th e Kir* 1 need of side-dressing
throughout the South this year.
Reports from every section show
there has been a material drop in the
.fertilizer customarily used at plant
ing. . Unless crops receive a side-
dressing of quick-acting nitrogen
during the next few weeks, acre yields
are bound to be low. Low acre
yields mean highci costa per unit
which will make it difficult for farm
ers to‘thow a profit at present prices.
•Southern agricultural leader- are
unanimous in the opinion that it will
pay to side-dress this year. A sum
mary of their recent statements
shows that, in view’ of the light ap
plication of fertilizer under the crop
as well as the extreme importance of
making high acre yields, cotton and
«.*orn should be liberally side-dressed
with quick acting nitrogen. Assum
ing a reasonably favorable season,
this practice will pay on cotton and
■corn, even at present prices.
The most effective" time to side-
dress cotton and corn is about 45
•days after planting. The fertilizer
should be put out on cotton after
- chopping and before squaring, and on
__corn when the plants are about knee-

“The general plup of thia. magnifi

from the National Geographic society.
“However, New Delhi Is not the first
capital to be located on the banks of
the sprawling Jumna river. .
“Within an area of 45 square miles
around New Delhi, seven huge cities
have been mined by-powerful emperor*
and princes. Only crumbling temples

Old Delhi, still stands, an endnrln^
monument to the power and wealth of
the Mogul emperors who ruled India
foe three centuries.
“While New Delhi may he patterned

respects It l* different. There is a
rentrnl mall called King’s Way, with
imposing government hulldlnga of
mixed classical and Indian architec
ture fronting It. Instead of the legis

wheel shape, is the majestic row of
lad. white <-ohiiiin« lining Its Aslf-mlle

“Inside the council house are large

the government of India, the council

I volunteered for service at
age of sixteen years and entered the!p*ny.
F. W. McMaster, came along and took
me by the feet and pulled me dowa
and said: ‘Get down from there and
stand behind the breast works and
shoqt, yop are too good a soldier to
be killed here.’ The fighting continu

My father, Gideon Hutto, was
service in May, 1862, wa 5 in Company
H, S. C. Infantry. I was under Col
onel Means who was killed at the
Second Battle of Manassas.
“The first fight that I got into was
at Kinston, North Quolina. The next
cne was at Goldsboro, N. C., and we
came out victorious. I recollect the
first man that was killed at Kinston
wa 8 Mullinax. I was near him and
my old Colonel then was McMaster.
He hollered for the litter bearer at
the front and they took him off the
field. A good many were killed there.
We were next ordered to Jackson,
Mississippi, and we fought there for
eight days, fought old General Grant
and he disappeared, we were too much
for him. Then we were ordered
North. We landed at Petersburg,
Virginia, and right off the train right
into a fight, they called it tfien Clay
Farm. There we whippen them again.
vWe continued to fight and went into
an every day and night fight with
Grant. And then Lee formed a fort
within a mile of Petersburg, four
pieces of heavy artillery^ Grant
could not outdo us there and so he
underminded the works and blew us
up with powder. We had three lines,
first, second and third lines of soldier 8
in them works. He blew all three

saw, I was on the extreme left of it
and just did escape. All the elements
were dark and the air was filled with

They give me a furlough to come to
