On last Thursday afternoon Mrs
H Van Epps was at home to a large
concourse of friends in honor of *
(
Miss Ruth Alice Williams,bride-elect.
Thp aftprnoon was replete with
pleasures. 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.

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

THE SINGLE TERM IDEA.
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.

FOUND GUILTY IN
| TWENTY MINUTES,
FOUR GUNMEN, ALLEGED SLAYERS
OF GAMBLER ROSENTHAL,
HEAR THEIR DEATH SENTENCE.
New York. 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

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.
