Drake said she showed in different ways

unusual. Women who are not professional
models frequently want to see themselves
in pictures. and offer to pose for artists
The first time Adele Revier posed, at the

That is a little higher than the usual rate.
She laughed in a surprised sort of way and
put the money one side.

Il bitterly cold night. but the negroes were
made to strip, and were then severely
beaten with buggy traces for the alleged
crime Of stealing Bible from n church.
Kearse and his mother were killed by
the flogginG and the exposure. while his
wife managed to drag herself home more
dead than alive. The 'lynchers" were
tried in Walterboro, the county seat of Cole

Hanna Walker, and, to the surprise of the
entire State, were acquitted. solicitor Bel
linger had done his. best to secure a con
viction, and mortally offended the numer-
ous and influential friends of the defend
ants, who tried hard and unsucceSsfully to
prevent his reelection this summer
Solicitor Bellinger was shrewd enough
to try the defendants on only one indict-
ment mt Walterboro. After the miscarriage
of justice there he secured a change of
venue to Aiken for the trail on the charge
of numbering Isom Kearse, and the trial
began there on Tuesday, Senator elect Judge
Earle presiding Solicitor Bellinger con
ducts the States case alone, while seven
of the leading lawyers of the circuit rep

little trouble, before tomorrow.
There are over eighty witnesses sum
moned. The testimony shows that the
victims came to their death from ffog-

medical testimony showed the flogging to
have been simply unmerciful. SO severe as
to pulpdfy the muscles of the back and
arms of the victims. The entire State is
watching this trial with great interest.

There are only two bells in the District

The numbering of alarm calls by police
precincts makes them easy to be interpreted
and the proposed iig town bell could be
connected with the fire alarm office at a
very slight cost
The strikIng OF the alarms was first dis

at ST. Marys. The Thirteenth street
