SENTENCED AND HUNG HIMSELF.

eide by Hanging.

eide by Hanging.
PENDLEToN, S. c., April l7.-Tbe
body of E. ID. CasOn. u white man
living on William Watkins farm, six
miles from Pendlcton. was found
Sunday morning hanging to a tree
near Watkins blacksmith shop about
two hundred yards from Mr.. Cason's
home.
circumstances showed that his sui
clde was thoroughly planned and the
act was II premeditatcd one. Hc DO
cured two leather driving rcins and q
small cotton rope, placed them around
his neck securely, having tied knots
SO as to avoid all possibilities of an
accident, climbed up an oak tree, ,plac
ed the Ines securely around o limb
and jumped off. His feet were only
few inches from the ground.
Nothing was found on his pcrson
as an eXplanay ayion for this terrible act.
but 1T IS believed that recent charges
made against himself and others of
brutality, beating woman in Geo.
gla, gave the cause. NIr. Cason vas
out on bond, having been arrested n
few drys since and taken before a
oAi''h J'toolIS1 "llCI 4 Jllc clluISCS were
sustained and the case was sent up
to the higher court. I am told that his
wife said she Thought there were other
troubles that would confront Mr. Ca
son, If he appeared before the courts
III Georgia and that with this recent
trouble was the cause.
MI. CasOn was Il tenant on Mr..
Watkins plantation and in that sec
ton bore Il very good character and
was thought well of by his landlord,
who promptly went on his bond. He
was n native of Georgia where hcmar-
ned and subsequently got a divorce.
he came to South Carolina, began
work Oh MI Watkins farm and
shortly married Harvey Soord's
daughter
1t appears from what I could gath
er that Mr. Cason was brought into
this last trouble by his brother who
induced him to go to Georgia and
help beat the woman who had gained
lawsuit over him.

Millions in MORTGAGES.

MI Luther j. Kaufman, Lancas-
ter, delivered an interesting address
Saturday last at the farmers insti-
tute, held under the auspices of the
Bcrks county Agricultural Society, at
Reading. Mr.. Kaufman dwelt upon
the great depression in agriculture
III Pennsylvania, and produced al
guments, statistical and otherwise,
that the farms in the East, exclusive
OF improvements,wer worth no more
now III the market than those in Ne
hraska and Kansas. He stated that
the mortgages on the farms in Berks
county were $9,000,000, and in Ian
caster cUlnty $25,O0O,OOO. In closing
his address &Tr. Kaufman said that
tho cost Of issuing and distributing
currency by the government was one
quarter OF one per cent, and he
wanted to know why, tL.B being the
case, the farmer should MOI hc able
to secure loan on his farm fJr the
one per cent. He said that the great
accumulatlVo power Of money at pre-
yalllnS interest rates WAS one Of the
chief causes Of the preavlt distress,
and urged the farmers Of Derks to
secure from Congress the establish
ment OF q national banking bureau,
which should issue and loan money
to all citizens upon good security ut
one per cent. He left number of
petitions to that effect, which were
signed by many Of those present.

unconditionally, to the Baltimore Pres

Presbyterian church, except that the ser
mons were preached in the Welsh Ian
guage. The old Welshmen objected to
this, but finally accepted the change.
About five years ago Mr.. Jones took
