Penitentiary Board OOBaldcri Lox lugtmi Hank Situation ? Kloetrlc (hair. Columbia, April 10.?The board of dlraoton of the Penitentiary, In Ses? sion this afternoon, discussed the mat? ter Of the funds belonging to the Penitentiary which were in the Lex? ington gavlngl Lank when it failed, and tin- statement was authorized that the board would exhaust every effort to recover tin- full pmount, $22,000. The hoard was surprised, with other people. when the hank failed. The Penitentiary has a farm in Lexington County, and when it sold the cotton to Mr, \V. A. Roof the money was de? posited in his hank at Lexington, which was thought to he all right at that time. The hoard exonetated Superintend? ent GritlHh from all blame, and has the utmost confidence in his manage? ment of the Penitentiary and in his business ability. Capt. Gri tilth, before the Lexington Bank went into the hands of a receiver, as soon as he heard <;f its "shaky" condition, went to the Attorney General about th" matter and employed Mr. D; W. Roh inson to assist him. and these gentle? men went to Lexington to look Into the matter of the Penitentiary funds which were on deposit in the bank. The superintendent used every means in hi* power to protect the Peniten? tiary's interest when he learned of the bank's condition. The superintendent and the board will do everything they can co recover the- full $22.000 from the wrecked bank. This statement was authorized by a member of the beard, following the adjournment this afternoon. The board of directors of the Stace Penitentiary, In session here today at the Penitentiary, gave an order for the jteel to be used In the erection of the cages in connection with the elec? tric ohalr. which is to be installed at the prison and it was decided to hold another meeting on the 24th of this month, at which time the contract for the electrical aparntus will be let. This will include the electric chair, which will be ordered from a com? pany further north. THK AIKEN SENSATION. leeUu Advices B?Oll to Return for Trial. Alken, April 9.?C. Oliver Iselin. dean of the Alken winter colony, called on Mayor Gyles this morning and, laboring under subdued rage at the Issuance of tbe warrant charging Frederick O. Peach with assault and battery with Intent to kill his wife, Mrs. Camilla Peach, denounced the action taken by the authorities as "rot." Mr. Iselin was very angry at the turn eVUBta have taken, but was very quiet. He made no further ref? erence to a lynching bee but stated to the mayor that it was his intention to send a cablegram today to Beach who was located In London, inform? ing him of the warrant and advising him to come back to Alken at once. Mr. Iselin appeared to be very posi? tive that Peach would act upon his advice. and confidently stated to Mayor Gyles that Peach will return to Alken In about ton days. If Ib ach is convicted of the crime of which he is aOCtiaod Mr. Iselin will be called upon by the city of Alken to write a check for $1,000, the amount of re? ward offered unconditionally by Mr. Iselin. Considerable doubt Is expressed. however, as to whether Beach will return to Alken. Special Agent Baughan said this af? ternoon that he had no desire to per? secute Beach and realizing the hu? miliation it would be to him to be brought back by an officer he would be willing, if it were satisfactorily arranged with the solicitor, for Peach to guarantee Iiis return to Alken in Id days by a bond. If. however, Leach makei an effort to evade the law, Mr. Baughan stated that the au? thorities had assured him he could ? xhaust every cent of their resources to bring Beach back by extradition. The fact that Pearl Hamilton, the negreai who was arrested yesterday supposed to know more about the event! of the night of February 16. when i.oth ehe and Mrs. Reach were assaulted. has arranged for bail through Baach'? lawyers, who busied themselves In her behalf immediately upon her arrest, has created a great deal of comment. Unsuccessful ef? forts have been repeatedly made to worm out the negro woman's knowl? edge of the affair and the Identity <?f the man who Assaulted both her and Mrs. Reach, it has been suggested b) cltlsona thai the ordinance requiring automo? biles to keep on the ri?ht side of the ?treet, whclh was proposed at the ses ?lon "f Council Tuesday nlghl and which will probably he submitted at the next meeting, should apply i" ail vehicles ami not only to nutomohlles, Th i is a good Idea ami the p.-ri ap? plicable to the turning aiou of automobile! on the ?treet should 'is, api 'y fo all v. hides CARRIE SMITH I NDER ARREST.

Read what a Wizen from a Distant County says about our JUST WRIGHT SHOE and yen can hardly help doing what he did Allendale, S. C, April 6th, 1912. 0'Donnell& Co., Sumter, S. C. Dear Sirs: Would say, I was visiting your city the latter part of the year 1910. Being in need of a pair of shoes for myself, I went into your store and was induced to buy a pair of your Just Wright Shoes $4.00, from your salesman, Mr. Louis Lyons. This bargain I have never regretted, for they are the best wearing and longest lasting shoes I have ever owned. Just think of it! From the first of December, 1910, op until now (April 6th, 1912) which is now one year and a half. 1 have the shoes on now and they bid fair to wear me two months longer. I have never in all my life (and I am 49 years old) had a pair of shoes to last me half that length of time, much less the time they have lasted. I have had one pair of half soles and the heels righted up during that time, making a cost of $1.25. Now add this to the cost of the shoes, $4.00, and it makes my shoeing bill $5.25 for one year and a half, you may say, for I have worn them every day, and for the first year, SUNDAY TOO. A pair of shoes that will last a working man (for I am in the saw mill business) a year and a half will pay to buy. I want another pair. Yes, and then another pair after they are gone. I write you this, for the liking I have for the "Just Wright Shoe." Yours, &c, H. A. McCULLERS, Allendale, S. C. New York Cotton Market. New York, April 11. Open.
