Appeal to Higher Court. Greenville, Sept. 4.--George W. Tidwell, aged 53, was found guilty of manslaughter today after the jury had deliberated nearly 24 hours and was recommended to the mercy of the court. Judge Prince thereupon sentenced Tidwell, who, on March 12, 1914, killed Rt. Emmett Walker, to serve seven years in the State peni tentiary or upon the public works of Greenville, the prisoner being left free to take his choice. The verdict was announced by the Jury upon the convening of court this morning. The 12 men had been out since 10:30 Friday morning. It is sidd that until the last few minutes six of the Jurors hold out for acquit f al. This was the second time Tidwell has been tried. In May, 1911, lie was tried and sentenced to 12 years. His sentence was <:ubsequently reduced to seven years by the governor. Counsel for Tidwell announced that an appeal would be taken. Judge Price overruled the motion for a new trial. lie admitted Tidwell to ball in the suni of $5,000, pending the nexit session of the supreme court. One of the grounds for appeal will be the allegation that some one spoke to the jury as they were going into a hotel for supper. Jurors admitted hearing a remark against Tidwell, blut say that they paid no attention to it. Still another point is the allega tion that Tidwell could not be legally tried for murder, Inasmuch as his sentence had been commuted. Coun -el contend hlie should have been tried for manslaughter. Aetii Indigestion. "I was annoyed for over a year by attacks of acute indigestion, followed by constipation," writes lirs. M. J. Galligher, Geneva, N. Y.

Tendency to Exaggerate. 'Ile fisherman is not the only fellow who is inclined to exaggerate. It sen's to be inherent in the race, and whether one is reporting the length of a inake or the amount of money that he made in a bank deal, the chances are the story would have to be tonted down and a portion of it eliminated be fore it would tally with the truth. Most of the exaggerations are harm less, anyway. It really doesn't make any difference whether the fish was two feet long, or only a foot; it is im material, so far as the rest of the world is concerned, whether you made a hundred thousand dollars, or only half that amount. Language is only to give one general ideas anyway-the essential thing Is that there was a fish, or a profit hi the deal. The lives of most of us are only exaggerated egotism; we do not amount to half as much as we imagino.-Columbus Dis Condenced Knowledge. At an examination held at Edin burgh university, a student was be ing examined in physiology. i1s knowledge was soon gauged by the professor, who rather surprised the young man by asking if lie had his card-meaning his matriculation card. The professor it question is one of the most genial men in the university, and the young "med,' fancying that lie proposed to take some personal interest in him, replied that ho' had, and at once presented his visiting card. "''hanks," said the professor, blandly. "Now, will you kindly write on that all you know about physiology." Race Cturse Paved With Salt.
