Upon entering: the quests were received by Mrs Epps and her ladies in waiting and conducted from one dainty to another until all had assembled in the drawing room, where sweet and salad courses were served. Miss Williams, the attrac- 1 tive guest of honor, was the recipi! ent of a miscellaneous shower. On Saturday afternoon Miss 1 May me \ Green entertained for Miss Williams with a Japanese tea party and shower. As the various guests assembled, their hats and wraps | were removed and each was supplied with a Kimona. The house was cast into semi-darkness by the drawing of shades, and innumerable candles blazed from the banks of chrysanthemums and carnations. The many attractive guests informally sought 1 seats on the floor and there ate rice with chop-sticks and engaged in othi er games typical of the quaint little race of Japs and their peculiar cust toms. No pains were spared to carry into effect the Japanese scheme i from the issuing of invitations, . throughout, to the concluding farei well. The local lodge of Knights of Py. thias entertained on Tuesday evening with a barbecue and oyster sup. per. Several very enthusiastic j speeches were made by resident and . | visiting Knights. PHA.

Tail's Declaration at New York Banquet Encourages Promoters. Washington, November 17:?President Taft's declaration in favor of constitutional amendment to limit the President's tenure of office to a single term of six years, with in eligibility to eitner a succeeumg ui non-eonseeutive term,and Presidentelect Wilson's indorsement of the Democratic platform favoring such a limitation are believed here to ^ foreshadow strong pressure for legislation along this line early in the coming Congress. Numerous measures have been introduced in both houses of Congress looking to a change in the presidential tenure. The Senate Judiciary committee wrestled with the problem in the last session, and Senator Cummins, who reported the Works amendment out of committee. purpooses to press the measure when Congress convenes. A similar amendment is hanging fire in the House Judiciary committee. Thanksgiving Proclamation. In accordance with official custom the following proclamation has been issued from the office of the Governor: "The benign Ruler of the universe having graciously granted unto us, the people of South Carolina, unlimited and untold blessings during the past 12 months, having filled our borders with abundance of everything needed to make a happy and contented people, it is but right and proper that a day should be set aside I upon which thanks should be rendered to Him, the giver of all things. "Therefore, I, Cole L Blease, Gov-1 ernor of the State of South Carolina, I do hereby set apart Thursday, No-1 vember 28,1912, as a day?of thanks giving, and in doing so earnestly request that all the people meet in their churches and other places of j worship and render thanks unto Al- , mighty God for His mercies and blessings, and petition for His con- j tinued guidance and protection." The supreme court of the United ! States delivered a death blow at vio- j lations of the Sherman anti-trust law : under the cloak of protection of the j patent laws, by annulling as invalid "license .agreements" which held j mnnnfflf?fnrprs of sanitarv enameled ; iron ware together in the combina- j tion known as the "bathtub trust." ; The decision marked an epoch in an- J ti-trust decisions because it sustained the government's contention that a violation of the Sherman anti-trust j law could not be concealed behind j the patent laws of the country. The decision of the lower court was up- i held throughout as to the main de-j fendants and the Coluell Lead company, which claimed it was not engaged in interstate commerce.

November 19:?"Gvd. the Blood," "Lefty Louie," "Dago Frank" and "Whitey" Lewis killed Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, at the instigation of Charles Becker. and must pay the penalty of death in the electric chair, the jury which has been hearing the evidence against the four "gunmen" so decided today. wnen it returned a verdict of J ? ^ ^ O A?" muraer in uitr ursi ucgicc, aim but twenty minutes of deliberation. The quick verdict came as a surprise to everybody. The jury in the case of Charles Becker deliberated for nearly seven hours before reaching a verdict. He is now in Sing Sing, sentenced to the electric chair, for having instigated the murder. The gunmen neara trie veruici pronounced against them without show of emotion. They stood at the bar looking straight ahead as the foreman of the jury made known the result of their deliberations, and they continued to stare stolidly in front of them until the formalities of the proceedings were coueluded. Remanded to their cells in the Tombs until tomorrow morning, when Justice Goff will fix the day for imposing sentence, they turned and filed out of the court room with I as firm a step as when they had entered. "Whitey" Lewis?who was the most dramatic of the four when he testified on the witness stand?alone walked with head bowed. I As tney enierea me aoor leauinx i over the '.'Bridge of Sighs," "Gyp" said something to "Lefty" in a sullen undertone, which none could hear. Outside, "Lefty's" doll-faced wife, "Lefty's Lillian," as she is called, wept on the shoulder of her husband's father, who vainly tried to comfort her. ! "Gyp's wife, known as "Gyp's Lillian," received the news in the House of Detention. The other two "gunmen" are unmarried. Former Magistrate Charles G F Wahle, counsel for the gunmen, announced that he would appeal from the verdict and, as in the case of Becker, months may elapse before their ultimate fate is determined. Meanwhile they will occupy ceils near that of the former police lieutenant in the death house at Sing Sing. Although the jury was actually out of the court room an hour and five minutes, it was but twenty minutes after their retirement that word reached the Clerk of the court that they had arrived at a verdict. This was at 10:55 o'clock, but Jur* tice Goff was at lunch and did not return until three-quarters 01 an hour later. The latest report concerning the completion of the Panama canal is that sometime next summer a vessel will pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific through this gr at wafer way which will change the geography of the world by dividing the Western hemisphere into two continents.
