Corbett, of , Orangeburg county, in which the $ourt holds that Corbett can be tried on three different counts for the murder of three men, alleged by the defense to have been one and the same act. The court, sitting en banc, says that the killings were three distinct acts and Corbet can be tried for the killing of the other two men. He has been tried for the murder of one and acquitted. Corbett, it is alleged, killed Bryan Salley, Hugh Fanning and Julian Cooper on the night of March 27, 1920,1 tit . in front of his home. He was tried and acquitted on the charge of killing Bryan Salley, and when placed on trial j for the murder of Cooper, defense, counsel pleaded former jeopardy and aequittal, claiming the three murders' to be one act and offense. The trial judge sustained this plea and dismiseed the charges in the last two teases. Subsequently the State appealed and the decision today sends the case back to Orangeburg county for jM tibial.

This r! recipe was composed of at least four i ingredients: 1st, consecration; 2nd, V information; 3rd, a vision; 4th, perseverence and faithfulness in service. 1 All present went home with a higher r purpose to live more for the Master's 51 glory. ej Other pleasing features of the con* | vention were the presence of Rev.

Henry Watterson, veteran journalist, who during the Civil war ' was publisher of the Chattanooga Rebel, has written a characteristic letter to the committee in charge of ' the reunion of the United Confederate 1 Veterans to be held in Chattanooga, ' Tenn. in which he exresses regret at ' not being able to attend. The letter, written from New York | and addressed to the chairman of the committee, follows: "I wish it were possible for me to 1 attend the coming Confederate reunion. It is not possible, so you must | take the will for the deed. v "Chattanooga possesses many claims upon my affections. It was there that I found my dear wife, who after M years of devotion; still abides and be' tween whom and myself the relations then established remain unbroken and 1 unchanged. She joins me in the re| gret that we can not together revisit ' the scenes of our early love-making. But at four-score and upward, fune' tions of every sort are beyond me. "Perhaps it is well that I may not again look upon the thin gray line, ' soon to disappear forever from the scenes of this world, for it might put too great a strain upon an old man's tenderest sensibilities. "My love to the old boys. It can not be long when we shall meet on that beautiful shore, and when we 'm meet, be sure the Bcnnie Blue flag will be flying at the fore, and the bands will be playing Dixie on parade, whilst the pretty girls will be distributing the Chattanooga Rebel to groups of ragged, red-nosed angels l. 1 i 1>aWa1 vail WJ1U IlttVC I1UV lUIgULVCa UiC ivcl^x J CU* Sincerely, "Henry Watterson." of Bannockburn, manager. $500 cask prizes offered in this division for various classes of Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, calves, cows, bulls, and others.
