NO BILL RETURNED
IN FELDER CASE
in* ). ?'. 1'. i
Judge Mage Fefers to Dispensary as
"That Terrible Experiment" to
"Make Respectable a .Nefarious
Business."
Newberry, Nov. 29.?The grand Jury
at 11:15 this morning returned the
Felder Indictment to the court mark
ed /'No Bill," which means that they
do not think there Is enough In the
charge to make It proper to send it to
a petit jury for trial.
The grand jury's finding on the ln
, diotmcnt had been awaited with much
' interest, and every time since Mon
day morning that body made its ap
pearance in the courtroom with a
hatch of indictments the Felder Indict
ment was listened for with intense in
terest by the large crowd in the court
house, but nothing was heard of it
until just before the adjournment of
court for dinner this morning, when
it was handed in marked "No Hill,
R. C. Counts, foreman." It was the
last hill handed in by the grand jury,
though among the first batch handed
to the jury by the solicitor when
court opened Monday morning.
It is reported, though, of course,
it can not he vouched for .that the
grand jury stood nine to nine at the
beginning, and that after two more
wont over to the number in favor of
"true bill" thus making the body
stand II to 7. 12 being necessary to
Hud a "true bill."
Charged Bribery Attempt
The indictment against Felder was
taken out upon an affidavit sworn out
some months ago by B. Frank Kelley
of Bishopvtlle, then member and sec
retary to the new winding-up commis
sion appointed by Governor Bleaso
to take the place of the former com
mission, which he bed removed. The
indictment, drawn by Solicitor Cooper
some time last spring, shortly after
the affidavit was made, charged Thom
as R. Felder of Atlanta. Ca., who had
assisted the attorney general in re
covering for the State a large amount
of overcharges of liquor houses that
hud dealt with the former dispensary
hoard, with having attempted at New
berry in October, 1905, to bribe 11. II.
UTans, then chairman of the board of
control, one count says, with an offer
of $r>0,000 worth of stock In some big
liqcor organization that Felder was
alleged to bo getting up at some un
known place; that second count
mrtkos a similar ch.irge but fixing
the offer at $250,000 worth of stock;
the third count fixes the offer at
"$850,000 in lawful money of the
Ujptted States."
'' 'After the Indictment was drawn
(lucre in or Rloaso issued a requisition
o? the governor of Georgia for Fel
d<tr, and it was put in the hands of
Sfcerlff Buford for service. He went
to Atlanta to arrest Folder and bring
him back, but he refused to como on
^ ttott requisition, and Governor Brown
' re-fused to honor tho requisition.
Without Regard to Expense.
'"When the grand jury came into
carart this morning at 11:30 for the
laut time before preparing their final
presentment the. foreman asked
.ledge Cage whether tho grand jurors
in considering this bill of Indictment
e*nld take Into consideration the prob
a-blo expense to the county and the
woral effect upon the community and
KSClety. The judge replied that If the
grand jurors believed the testimony of
tftsiA witnesses who had gone before
rii?m and that the prosecution was In
:;mi1 faith, it was their duty to find
a true bill without regard to the ex
panse to the county. Proceeding, the
judge said that the grand jurors could
consider the public facts on record,
?that there had been several prosecu
tions in these dispensary cases; that
John Black had been tried and con
victed in Chester; that James Far
num had been tried and acquitted In
Columbia, and that two of the wit
nesses who went before the grand
jury in the case of Foldor now under
consideration had been tried in Co
lumbia, the jury failing to agree and
Mint the other witness had been in
dicted in Newberry, the indictment
having been nol prossed.
"Thai Terrible Rxpcrlnicnt*"
"This CaSO," said his honor, "came
nnt of that 'terrible experiment which
hhe state was Induced to make some
years ago, and that was an honest
effort, to make respectable a nefarious
btudncss, that of selling liquor to men.
I trust," said he, "that the state has
tried that experiment to its heart's
centenf. If you aro satisfied," said
t the judge, "that the prosecution Is
for a public purpose, or to put It
differently, if you are satisfied that
tho purpose is not for the public
good and will not end in the public
good, you have a wide discretion In
tho matter; you can return 'no bill' or
you can return the bill to the solicitor,
stating that you will Pot make any
finding upon It until more satisfactory
proof comes to your hands."
I Concluding this special charge to
tho grand Jury, the judge told them:
"But. above all things, gentlemen, you
should make one tblllft sour pole star,
and unless you do that J <>u will go
wrong Put behind you every person
al consideration and lot k to tho truth
and the truth alone, and plant your
selfs firmly upon the truth, and go
to that gool to which the truth leads
you. If you go at it with this spirit
and with this purpose, you are bouud
to reach a right conclusion; if you
go ut it with any other spirit and
purpose you are bound to go wrong.
The Witnesses.
The witnesses who went before the
grand jury Monday morning to give
their testimony on the Felder indict
ment were: H. H. Evans of New
berry; Li. w. Boykin of Camden, and
John Hell Tow 111 of Batesburg.
Governor Ulease was an interested'
listener in Court Monday morning,
when the Felder indictment was hand
ed out.
The grand jury read their present
ment this afternoon and were dis |
charged and court adjourned.
Solicitor Cooper, being asked BS to
what further steps, if any, he pro
posed to take in the Folder case, re
plied that he did not care to make
any statement at all In regard to the
matter. The State.
The quicker a cold is gotten rid of
tin* less the danger from pneumonia
and other serious diseases. Mr. H. W.
L. Hall, of Waverly, Va., says: "I
firmly believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to be absolutely the best prep
aration on the market for colds. I
have recommended it to my friends I
and they all agree with me." For

New Record for Vanderbllt Cup Race.
Seventy four and seven tenths miles
per hour was the average speed of
Mulford's Lozior, winner of the 1011
Vanderbilt Cup Race, setting a new
mark for the distance.
Close behind the winning car came
De Halma in his Mercedes and he al
so broke the former record:; as did
Spencer Wishart in another Mercedes.
It was a great nee and Grant's Lo
llar, Parker's Fiat and nishrow's|
Hope Hummer, finishing in the order
named, made fast enough time to win
any ordinary contest. Every car to
finish was equipped with Michel in tires
"as usual."
In the Savannah Challenge Trophy
Hughie Hughes in a Mercci averaged
over 68 miles per hour with Heineman
and Nikrent in the Marmons follow
ing close at his heels. All three cars
were equipped with Michelin tires and
Hughes' Mercer went through the race
without a single tire change.

There are four things in connec

receive more attention this winter,
(1- Better protection from wind
and rain, especially for the you tig
animals aud the milk cows.
(2) More and better feed.

(?I) More and better care of tho|
manure.
If we prepare to do these things,
and do them, much more profit w
come from our live stock. The Pro
gressive Farmer.
There is more Catarrh in this see
tlon of the country than all other dis
eases put together, aud until thes last
few years was supposed to be incura
ble. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it Incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.|
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. .1. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is]
the only constitutional cure on the
market. It. Is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a tenspoonful.
