of a political meeting held in Honea
lfath last August 24, was this after..
noon sentienccd to serve ten years in
tlc state pen:tentiary, or on the coun
ty. ehaingang.

first 11 years, but an r.mpeal to Judge
Geor2 e 11. Prince, presiding, to re
duce the sentence .to ten years, su
t-hat ball could -be granted by the pre

said in ' passing sentence on Ashley.
The Ashley has been one of the
hardest contested legal Ibattles in the
criminal court of LAnderson in a long
time. The prosecution introduced
testimony to show that Policeman

time before Ashley fired, handing his
gun to- Chief of Police lage, who was
disarmed by two of Ashley's friends.
The defendant pleaded self-defense,
claiming that he had shot after the
lilcenan had cursed him and shoved
1im back, reaching for his gun as he
did so. Dcfenso witnesses also ton
tified Chlief 'Page picked llughes' gun
from 'he sidewalk, and that It had
not been given to .Pave -by Hughes.
. The defendant was represented by
F. D. Grier, of Greenwood; T. F. Wat
kins, G. 13. Greene and C. 13. INarle, of
this city; and dolitor Leon W. liar
ris was assisted by Proctor ion-ham,
of Greenville, and len. M L. Bonham
and Thomas Allen, of this city.

gcneral seslSions adjourned this after
noon, Broadus Miller, a negro indicted
for nurder and held at the county jail
following a mistrial, entered a plea of
guilty of manslaughter and %was sen

NOMEN'S RIOHTS UP

L'hey Must Decide Whether Women 4
Shall Become D4acons, Assenbyq
'Decides.
Winona Lake, Ind., May 20.-Scrip
ural quotations were passed back and
lorth today as the commissioners to
he 133rd general assembly of the
Presbyterian church In the Unitea
states attempted to establish how
inuch of a part women are to be given
in ecclesiastical government, A deci
sion was finally reached .to allow the
Presbyteries of the church to take a
referendum vote on the question ot
allowing womncn to be Installed a.
leaso an office hitierto held only
by men. The vote will be reiorted
At the net general assenmbly.
The proposal that womien be permilt
ted to fill the office of deacon Irotght
at protest from Reverend Abraham, of
Chester, Penn. He quoted from the
book of Acts, in which -he said the
tihvcve al)ostles, in calling for the ap
pointimlent of deacons, gave this in
junction to the disciples: "Look ye
r)ut, therefore, :brethren, from among
s;eveiI men of good report, full of the
upitrit and wisdom you may appoint
over this business."
"We have this for on guard, breth
ren," declared Reverend Lathom, "antl
I believe we should stick pretty cloase
to the Good Book."
A generous round of'applause greet.
ed this quotation, but immediately
there was counter--quotation from a
commissioner who found his insplira
tion in the book 'of Romans. 1le qcuot
ed: "I commend unto you, Phoebe,
our sister, who is de.aconess of the
church that is at Conchreae. that ye
receive her in the Lord, lworthily of
the saints, and that ye assist her in
whatsoever matter she may have need
of you. For she herself also hath been
the helper of many and of mine own
self."
Cheers greeted the quotation and a
tribute by Reverend David Inghes of
Ba:ltimore, to the deaconess in his
church, brought ringing shouts of ap
probation.
The vote followed authorizing the
referendum vote on the granting of
the additional power to women In the
church government. Last year ' a
Presbyterial vote on an overture op
posing a change in the constitutional
government of the church so that wo
men might 'be eligible to vote the
offices of elder and deacon showed a
defeat for the overture.
