Was There Sufficient Reason2

The cases against the Bowmans and
Keelses have all been continued on the
ground OF non-attendance of material wit
nesses for the defense The Attorney General
objected that the afhdavi1s do not state that
due diligence has been exercised, that the
motion was not to secure delay. But the
Judge said that he assumed that the declar-
alton had been made in good faith, and
under the present practice of courts he could
not force the case to trial.
The diligence used by the defense does
not seem to be very exhaustive. The re-
port of the Neocs and Courier states that when
Mr.. Noise read the name of Mr.. G. G.. Ba-
cot as material witness who could not be
found, the Solicitor remarked that he had
just met Mr. Bacot at the hotel. Again, it
was alleged that Capt. Dawson, as editor Of
the NeecS and Courier, was most important
witness, and could not be found; and yet
on the same day Capt. Dawson was reported
by the Ne,cs and Courier as being in Charles
ton and making speech.
If it be the custom to grant continuance
for term, of course, then no afidavlts are
necessary; but if dihgent search be q pre-
requisite for continuance, the public may
Judge to what extent It was complied with
in the present instance. The Register does
not desire to prejudice the case. It merely
wishes to call attention to it-Colu1nba Reg

A Sensation of the First Water.

The Chronicle few days ago briefly men
toned the marriage at Gafney City, on the
Air Line Road, of DIR. Atkinson, a druggist
of Chester, S. c., to Miss Florence Little,
the belle of Gafney. They were married at
Blacks Station, about o'clock on the night
of February 18th, and it was thought at the
time that there was something peculiar
about the marriage, and so there was. DR..
Atkinson's bride had been married few
days before to another man. 1t seems that
February 9TH was the day set for the mar
rage of DR.. Atkinson and Miss Little. He
reached Gafney on the evening Of the 4th,
and found that his intended had gone bug
gy riding with young man named Mlntz,
who was one of her former sweethearts.
The pair did not return until next morning,
and DR.. Atkinson, incensed at the conduct of
the young lady, returned to his home. She
began correspondence with him and NUT
ual explanations and o reconciliation follow
ed. It was arranged that they should meet at
Blacks station and be united in the bends
of matrimony The ceremony was per
formed as already mentioned, and DR.. At
kison and his bride went on to their future
home in Chester. It has since transpired
that the young lady was married to Mintz
on the occasion of the buggy ride. 1t IS
said that they went to the residence OF Rev.
J. G. Carter and were married by him, the
minister agreeing to pledge Of secrecy for
a term of two years. Groom No l, it is
said, is under age, but claims that Miss
Little belongs to him, as she married him

ssOnly q Little Eillock. -

The Columbia Register says, The Register
was at first disposed to regard the Charles
ton Worlds advocacy of D. B. Hill for Pres.
ident as somewhat on a par with the iReeis-
te,s advocacy of the great and good George
". Childs. But the World actually seems
to be in earnest, such being the case. it will
permit an older if not wiser journal to sug.
gest that South Carolina is very poor mis-
sionary ground either for protection or the
candidacy of David B. Hill against Grover
Cleveland.
The Register believes that it will have the
practically solid South Carolina behind its
work for Cleveland, Tariff Reform, Civil
Service Reform, and Victory! Hill makes q
good Governor of New York, but gauged by
the Presidential standard, he is only a little
hillock. We can't SEQ him.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. M.-An attempt
was made in this county Wednesday night

ish this conduct, surrounded the house,

sral places. An axe was in the house, and

ColUasA February "a Special: Inc
BODY Of Joe Berry, g negro desperate, thief,
and escaped convict, was brought to the
Penitentiary this morning by MIR. r. Il.
Davis, the manager OF the state ia1m on
Seegerss Big Lake Plantation. About 10
o'clock last Wednesday night, while on his
wav from Mr.. Lykes place to Big Lake,
MI Davis came face to face with Berry
walking on the track Of the South Carolina
RAILWAY in the direction of Columbia. Mr..
Davis SAYS that he recognized him at once,
bnt asked him his name and ordered him
to halt. This Berry refused to do and start
ed off on run. Mr. Davis by this time
had dismounted and as Berry started he
free a. him. The shot seeming to have no
effect be fred again. Berry, having reach
ed the TOP of the little cut in which they
we're, ran down through cotton patch, and
Mr.. Davis following sent third bullet at
him. He fell, but before he could be reach
ed cot up and ran off again. Mr.. Davis
Sred at him the fourth time, and although
he made dilisent search for him coIld not
hnd him. Ee then went to Mr.. Welsh,
who lived near by, and told him that he
had shot Joe Berry, and asked him to have
search made for him in the morning and
LEFT him know the result. The body was
discovered in the morning within thirty
steps of the place where Davis had last seen
him.
A Jury was empanelled by Trial Justice
Lykes> and an inquest was held on the
bodv last night The verdict Of the jury
was that the shooting was justlhable.
As Joe Berry, he was sent to the Penlten-
siary for three years, in March, 1919, for
burglary and larceny committed IN Marion
County. AS Henry Johnson, he was SEN
fenced to two years imprisonment IN Sep
tember, 1882, for burglary and larceny com
mitted in Lexington County, and as John

by Policeman Hartin near Rabbs row IN
this city, on the 2lst of December, 1856.
He ESCAPED from the Blackville and New
berry Railroad on the 9th Of August, 1887,
and since that time has terrorized the color
ed people in almost the whole Of the lower
part of this county. He was recognized by
them all as desperate fellow. When the
BODY was found there was an open knife
elenched in his night hand, showing that
he had determined to defend himself II his
oursuer came to close quarters.
Mr.. Davis said that all the colored people
in the neighborhood were relolced TO near
of his death, and while assisting to put the
BODY in a wagon this morning, some OF
them remarked that they were shipping
him out Of that section with great deal OF
pleasure

Homeopathic Advertising Will Not Pay

One of the shrewdest and most respected
of the leading American advertisers is P. T.
Barnum. He has always been considered
q man who understood how to advertise,
and he ascribes his success in accumulating
81. .OOO, 600 in twelve years to unlimited ad-
vertsing. He says: Whatever your occu-
patton OF calling may be, if it needs sup
port from the public, advertise it thorough
ly in the public press. A homeopathic dose
of advertising will not pay. 1t is like half
dose of physic, making the patient sick.
but efecting nothing. Administer liberal
IL, and the cure for lack of business will
be sure and permanent. A man must have
a thick skull who cannot see that the cheap
est and best mdium through which to speak
to the public is the newspapers. Put on
the appearance of business, and generally
the reality will follow"
