RIcnLAND, S. c., March 4, 1890.
DEAR COURIER: The Richland
sub-Alliancc met on the first instant,
we understand, for the purpose of
making their usual arrangements for
helping those who arc unable to help
themselves through the summer.
We think ours the model Alliance Of
the county, and it would be crafty
ing to know that all others in the
county ard doing as much to elevate
the moral standard of our farmers.
That spirit which prompts the
strong to help the weak comes from
on high,
Last Saturday night, while the
cars of Capt. If. l.. Coc were being
brought from Bell Junction to
Suwancc, Ca, attached to the second
section of freight train number 81
they were ovcrtaken and ran into by
the third section ut Suwance bridge,
injuring several of his coorcd hands.
The cars caught fire and about seven
of them were completely destroyed,
together with contents, consisting of
provisions, bedding, wearing apparel,
tools, &c. Loss to railroad company
about $4,000 to $4,000; Mr.. Coe
and his men about $3.50. Capt. Coo,
Mcssrs. M. II. Isbcll, and S. n.
llughs were all at home when the
accident occurred. Mr.. John Reid,
of estminstcr, was in charge of
the force while moving. Ihcy were
all at home yesterday, getting up
another outfit for camps and will go
back to work to-day.
Mr.. e. E. Werner has been suffer
ing for several days with Il spraincd
or bruised ankle, but we hope it will
not prove anything serious.
Miss Emmye Vcrncy is visiting
her sister, Mrs. y. E. Stribling, Of
Scncca.
Miss Clara Werner is visiting rcla-
tions and friends in Grccnvillc.
Foxes are quite plentiful in this
nclghborhood now. IT is very com
mon to zee them in daytime. Any
one who has pack Of well trained
hounds can get run here almost
any time. r.,

Elsewhere in our columns will be
found card from Mr.. Jaynes, to
which we readily give space, and to
which we call special attention, the
more SO as we feel an unintcntional
injury has been done him.
No one knowing Mr.. Jayncs as
we do, as a gentlemen of the highest
integrity, and one ranking high in
his profession, could suspect him of
doing an intentional wrong. His
character has been without reproach
from childhood. The sequel proves
that he acted in strictly honorable
manner, in the discharge of his duty
as an attorney, and in such way as
TO command the confidence of his
clients and the respect of his fellow
citizens.
We got our information as, to the
case in question, from what we con
sidercd a reliable source, and after
ward had it confirmed, at least in part,
10y the lawyer who claimed to be
attorney for the defendants. We
feel satisfied now that we were mis-
informed and take this method of
frankly acknowledging Our error, as
we intended to do from the moment
our attention was first called to it.
Mr.. Jayncs' card explains the
points of law better than we could
do. At the same time he seems to
reflect on the trutl.fulness of the
statement and by Implication on the
one who made the statement. We
do not consider this applies to us,
for we unwittngly gave crcdence
and publicity to statement we
believed to be true, as did oar first
informant.
We think the article in oucs-
ton can IN no way reflect on
the officers of the law who served
the papers. They issued from the
proper source, and, even though
"the process of the law" had been
illegal, they were not to question
the authority from which it proceeded.
We are convinced they went strictly
according to the letter of the law,
and we believe any fairmindcd per-
son who reads Mr.. Jayncs' statement
will be likewise convinced We
think tHe conduct of the officers in
proceeding in the face of great op-
position commcndablc, and they de-
serve the support of all good citi-
zcns.
We had no intention in tho first
instance of casting stumbling
block in the way of a proper admin
istration of the law. We arc as
much opposed AS any one can be, to
any evasion Of the law, and regret
that compromise was made, for it
gave tho defendants an opportunity
to claim that they had the law on
their side, and thereby led us into
error, at the same time gaining q
strong following for their view of the
case. We trust the above acknow-
lcdgcmcnt may disabusc any mind of
any wrong impression unintcntion-
ally made hy us. J.. Il. SMITH,
Editor.

Fihe Hanging Of HaNes. 1


Richard r. Hawes, better known
as Dick HaWes, was hung in Sir
mingham, Alabama, on Friday last,
for The murder of his wife, Emma
Hawes, and his two little daughters,
May and Irene Hawes. Hawes
made a full confession. The state
ment begins with story Of his life,
giving his parentage and place Of
birth. His career is traced along
through his various occupations and
employments to the hour of his
marriage. Hawcs declares every
thing went on well until whiskcy
commenced playing havoc with his
wiee's good behavior and his own
happiness. Wniskey ruined him
and brought him, he declares, to
crime and this horrible end. Hawes
declares that he did not physically
aid in taking off either his daughter
or his wife He reiteratcs that John
Wylie did the awful work, and this
was how it was done: John WyIio
and Fannie Bryant did it. No vio-
lenco was used. Neither Mrs.
Hawos or Irene or May were struck
or beaten or shot. Mrs. Hawcs and
Irene were made drunk on Saturday
night and induced to go to Lake.
view with John Wylio and Fannie
Bryant. 1t was late at night, posi-
bly, very early Sunday morning.
Mrs. Hawcs was so drunk that
she was scarcely conscious that the
cords with which the iron was tied
to her were being wound around her.
Little Irene was also in a stupor.
John Wylie and Fannie Bryant put
the mother and child into q skiff,
showed it noisclcssly to the mid
die Of the lake, and dropped Mrs.
llawes and Irene overheard, just
North of the little island. May
Hawcs was SO drunk when they ail
left for Lakcvicw on Saturday that
she could remember nothing of what
occurred. Some imprudcnt talk was
indulgcd in early Sunday morning
between John Wylc and Fannie
Bryant, and they later in the day
feared May knew or suspected every
thing, by several questions she had
asked, and sho must also die. 1t
was then determined she had to be
put away. In fact Wylic had mis-
understood lIawcs in the original
trade, when 5000 was agreed upon
as his (Wylie's) price for putting
away the females. Fannie Bryant
kept May locked up until Monday
night, when Hawcs went out after
her. lIawcs positively states that
he did not carry May to East Lake.
He says he made her drunk and
turned her over to John Wylie.
He rode a little way on the East
Lake dummy, but he positiv ely as
serts that he did not so to East Lake
that Monday night, and that he did
not with his own hands put any of
them awty, but that Wylie did the
work.
~ correspondent or the ItuRtU
Constitution, referring to the hang
ing of Iawcs, says:
Saturday, the last day of the week,
has figured conspicuously in the
life of Dick Hawcs. lie was born
on Saturday, was married to Emma
Pettis on Saturday. He discovered
evidences of his wife's infidelity on
Saturday, murdered Mrs. Hawcs and
Irene on Saturday. Their bodies
were found on Saturday. The iail
riot occurred on Saturday. He was
sentenced to be hanged on Saturday.
The opinion of the Supreme Court
affirming the decision in the case
was written on Saturday, and on
Saturday his body will be buried.

Walhalla as Seen by Our Tugaioo
81 Correspondence.

+
iYALnALIA,s s. c., February 81, 1890.
DEAR COURIER While ] am. here,
confined at Court, in order to while
away the ragged edges of time, / will
continue a few dottings Of the work
ing of the Court, the attractions in and
about the Happy Home Walhalla,
her past, present, and future, her re-
sources. hospitality, &c.
1t seems to me I have never seen
a Court in better working condition,
and determined to clear the docket
as much as is possible. This deter
mination on the part of the Judge,
gives tho bar and jury plenty of
work, while our efficient Solicitor,
Clerk and Sheriff are busy as bee
and discharge their respective duties
so efficiently that we conclude they
arc the right men in the right place,
and we almost regret that election
day should come again. Judge
Aldrich is perhaps the youngest
Judge ever on our Circuit, and while
he is not as SERIOUS as a Judge" he
has more suavity and less stcrnncss
and severity than the average Judge,
yet he is definite and efficient.
Walhalla, like all other towns, is
making many improvements in all
of the branches Of the industries
common to county towns. She is so
situated as to be in full view of the
dusky splendor of the Blue Ridge,
i'll striking distance of the rich pro-
ducts. Of fruits and vegetables, milk
and honey, beef, mutton, and game
that will ever be a source of revenue
III these rich productions that con-
tribute so much to the comfort of
human requirements. While these
are facts that so naturally accrue,
pure water, salubrious air, just rs
naturally accrue, making Walhalla
health l esort, by supplying all Of
these requirements of sanitary
advantage and attraction. We
would notice her hotels. We arc
glad to note Norman Park Hotel
with all Of its modern attractions.
The whole premises breathe neat
ness of scrupulous cleanliness, the
furniture is new and elaborate, the
beds are well furnished, offering all
the Inducements to balmy sleep, the
attendants are prompt to fault, the
table is furnished with all that is
calculated to tempt the imcr-man.
While it's proprietor has been flat
tered with quite run of custom,
yet he cannot hope, SO soon to cope
with the old retiobie, the Biemann IIo
tel that has been for the last half cen
tury in building up, but we think
"Vick" is the coming man. While
Philadelphia, the City { Brothcrly
Love, mas spent hcr thousands Tor
public bath, the proprietor of the
Norman Park Hotel promises in the
near future that most admirable
addition, the hot, cool, or cold bath,
without which no hotel or well rceu-
lated residence can be considered
complete! |! If the world has ever
been ready to substitute the bath-
room for the ba9'-roon,, now is the
time that those that esteem "clenli-
ness next to Godlincss" may enjoy
quietude, sobriety, &c. Again, we
have received 50 much hospitality
and courtesy and congcniality, while
at Court, that we feel justified in
extending a feeling of gratitude in
behalf of the jury at least.

or cisterns above ground filled with rain
water, and therefore cannot be contain.
mated with sewerage, the annual death
rate from typhoid fever is only lG in
100 900 Of population. In Wheeling the
rate is Gil in 100000 OF population.
Philadelphia, where the water supply
is drawn from the Schuylkill river.
which is lees contaminated than the
Ohio river, hasa death rate from typhoid
fever OF GS in 100000 Of population. A
careful study Of the morality OF any
city will show that n polluted water SUP.
ply and typhoid fever morality stand IN
the relation OF cause and effect. No,
only Is this true as regards typhoid
fever, but the rule will hold good as re-,
CARDS many other diseases.
The situation is asulliciently alarming

Harrison to-day sent a message to Con.
gress saying that the recent attempt to

Dakota for lottery company pending
effort to obtain from the State OF Louisiana
a renewal OF the charter OF the Louisiana
State lottery, and the establishment OF
one or morelottery companies at n Mexi.
can town, near our border, have served
a good purpose OF calling public
attention to an evil Of vast pro.
portions. The baneful effects OF lottery
were not limited to any one State, bu.
the people OF all States are dabauched
aud defrauded. This is done through
the mail service, aud ii this service were
stopped, companies could hardly exist.
The capitol had become q lottery head
quarters and postal clerks and police
officers had come under the corrupting
tyuch OF their agents. The mails should
bs purged and in addition it might be
necessary to regulate the carrying OF ex-
press letters in order to prevent their
use for the lottery companies. There
can be no division OF sentiment and
the President hopes that proper power
will be given to the Post Office Depart
ment.
A letter OF the Postmaster General,
also enclosed, calls attention to the in.
efficiency OF the present law, and recon-
mends the passage Of the anti-lottery
bill recently reported to the House.
