A VERDICT FOR 512,500.
Vb-t IS the Amount the Jnry Awards Mr.
James d. iehumpert vs the Southern
Rilway Company.
Pretty much all of the time of the
court was taken up last week in hear- I
lng the case of James C. Schumpert vs.
the Southern Railway Company.
The suit was for damages to the plain
tiff in the loss of a part of his foot in a
collision that happened at Belton on
the 18th day of February, 1901, between
two trains, the plaintiff being engineer
on one of them.
The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. Johnstone & Welch, of the
Newberry bar, and the defendant by
T. P. Cothran, Esq.. of Greenville.
Both sides of the case were ably and
hotly contested, and the speech of Col.
. George Johnstone to the jury was one
of the best efforts ever delivered in the
Newberry court house. This argu- I
ment in itself carried conviction with 1
it. t
The jury, after remaiuing out about t
six hours, rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $12,500. f
The defendantgmoved for a new trial, e
and his honor Judge Gary, -refused the v
motion with the understanding that the I
plaintiff submit to a reduction in the i
verdict to $10,000. The plaintiff has i
ten days in which to accept the reduc
tion, or a new trial will be granted.
With the exception of some special
orders this case ended the business of f
the court.

WALLACE CALHOUN CROMER
Died at His Hnine in Newberry on Frieay
February 28-Another Good Man Gone.
Mr. Wallace C. Cromer died at hi
I home in this city on Friday morning
For some two or three years he ha(
been in failing health, afflicted witl
that dread disease consumption, ane
for the past four or five months ha
been in rapid decline. The end was no
unexpected, and on Friday morning
about 11.30 o'clock, he breathed hi,
last.
Mr. Cromer was born in the Mollohor
section of this county May 5, 1851. HE
has always held to a marked degree
the respect and esteem of the people
of Newberry County, and of all wh<
knew him, and when in 1889, Mr. Wm
W. Houseal, the county auditor, died
the appointment of Mr. Cromer to serve
out the unexpired term, met with gen
eral approval. When Mr. Cromer a
year later offered himself before the
people for their nomination, althougt
at that time the Reform movement had
swept over the State and had carried
Newberry County with it, and Mr. Cro
mer was opposed to that movement,
still be was nominated by a large ma
r
jority. Since that time be has held the
position, being continuously renomi
nated to succeed himself up to the time
of his death. He was an efficient and
obliging county official, and his people
knew that in this office they were being
honestly and faithfully served.
Nothing is needed to be said from us
as to Mr. Cromer's private life. The
people of this county knew him, and
they loved and respected him. He was
a good man and a good Christian, true
to his fanily, his friends, his country,
and his God, speaking evil of no man,
but holding the esteem of all for the
upright Christian life he lived. He
was a member of Beth Eden - Lutheran
church.
The funeral services were held at the
hor on Saturday morning and the re
mait s laid to rest in the buru/ing grounld
at Beth Eden ohurch.
AUDITOR APPOINrFED.
William W. Cromer Son of LatIe Auditor,
I(eceives the A ppointment-PromDpt Ac
tion in the Matter.
The following telegram to the Her
ald and News was received about 9
o'clock yesterday morning:
Columbia, M arch, 3.-William W.
Cromer, son of late auditor Win. C.
Cromer, has been appointed by Gov
ernor McSweeney to serve out his fa
ther's unexpired term. The oath was
mailed to him this morning.
This appointment will no doubt meet
the wishes of our people generally. A
strong petition in Mr. Cromer's favor,
signed by many of the business and
professional men of this city, had been
sent Governor McSweeney, and the ac
tion in the matter was prompt. Mr.
Cromer, during his father's illness, had
charge of the business of the office, and
i thoroughly familiar with it, and will.
no doubt, make a g-good and popular
connty official.
The selection is a good one.
Pneumonia Follows a Uold
but never follows the use of Foley'
Honey and Tar. It stops the cough,
heals and strengthens the lungs and
affords p"rfect security from an attack
of pneumonia. Refuse substitutes.

MAJ. JENKINS WONT HAVE 11
DECLINES TO Au EPT SWORD FROM
JIM TILLIKA.,
Will Get One Anyhow. Movement in Char
leston to Present a Sword Which Was
Halted for Fear of Embarrassin
Major Jenkins, is Now Under Way
and Already Subscriptions.
Have Been Received.
Charleston Post, 1st.
Warington, Va., March ist.-Maj. Mi
cah Jenkins has declined to accept the
sword which it was proposed to preseni
him at Charleston, S. C., when the Presi
dent shall visit that place.
Major Jenkins, who is.a member of the
faculty of the Bethlehem Academy here,
has sent the following telegram to Lieu
tenant Governor Tillman, of South Car
olina:
"Lieutenant Governor James. H. Till
man, Columbia S. C.:
"You are represented in the press as
having telegraphed President Roosevelt
at the request of the subscribers to the
sword recently offered me through you,
requesting him to withdraw his accept
ance to present the same.
"If this is so I 'Must decline, under these
circumstances, to accept the sword.
- "Thanking-you for your personal kind
ness in the matter, I am, truly yours,
"M. J. Jenkins."
A movement was started in this city
yesterday to raisea fund for a sword to
be presented to Major Jenkins in place
of the one that Lieut. Gov. Tillman had
secured for the same end The matter
was brought to the Evening Post, but,
after full consideration, it was decided
best to do nothing that might embarrass
Major Jenkins* who had been involved
in an unpleasant affair through no
fault of his own. In view of the action
taken by Major Jenkins today, however,
the movement has been released and the
Evening P.,st is glad to present it to the
public and to undertake to receive sub
scriptions for the fund. A committee
will be organized to- take the matter in
hand and to this body will be given over
any amounts handed in to the Evening
Post.
The sentiment in the city is very
strongly in favor of relieving Major Jen
kins of the embarrassment into which he
has been brought and at the same time as
suring a mark of his gallant services
under Col. Theodore Roosevelt of the
Rough Riders, and already, although
the movement to procure a sword for him
was halted at its incipiency,; a sum has
been subsci ibed almost sufficient to pur
chase the testimonials. Now that the
miatter is released by the spontaneous
action of Major Jenkins, it will be a very
few days before the whole sum needed
is subscribed.
It is considered eminently fitting that
the sword should be preserited by the
people of Charleston, as this has been
Major Jenkins' home. Of course the
President would be asked to present the
sword to Major Jenkins upon his visit .to
Charleston and it is believed that this in
vitation will move the President further
to make his visit as originally planned,
from consideration for his comrade in
arms, whose action in resenting so
promptly and emphatically the affront
upon his commander will commend him
to the consideration and esteem of all
right thinking people.
