An ORIGINAL DEFENSE.

Two aborigines OF Formosa. who were
arrested in the Hosan province, were re-
Gently sentenced to death for having
murdered a policeman.
Their defense was original They said
hey meant no harm; they killed he po-
Iiceuan merely for joke.
Under cross-ezaEination they said it
was only after the Japanese had come
to the island that they had heard that
the murder of a man was considered &
bad deed.
In reply to a question as to whether
they felt happy in killing the policeman
the prisoners replied yes. they felt very
happy.
This is the first occasion on which one
OF the aborigfnes has been sentenced to
capital punishment since the Japanese
took over Formosa.

One D.scoR -eRted Soul.
By WILLIAM J. LAMPToS.

I want to go and live In -,
Where everything is hot;
Where summer time is summer time,
Not like The kind we've got.
Where chilling rains are seldom known
And winter winds are shy.
Where trapped summer does not make
The almanac a lie.
Where picnic parties may so forth
To wander in the groves,
And DO not have to take along
a full supply Of stoves
Where sudden changes do not come
To nip the corn and oats,
And where there never Is a boom
In August overcoats-
Where rheumatism does not rack
Our frames with twftching aches,
And when we leave a blanket of
We don; wake up in shakes.
Where one may wear his Panama
Secured at painful cost.
With little danger that it will
Be bitten by the frost
I want to live where summer time
Is summer time for fair
And with a SILVER down my back
I'd start right now for there.

A SONNET ACCORDING TO HOYE
By DON MARQUIS.

Hoyle says sonnet must be fourteen-lined,
Said lines IN two unequal stanzas set.
The first high octave, second called sestet;
Lines one, four, five, and eight must be combined.
Those OF the sestet may be intertwined
Alternately, but stop, my octave's yet
Unfinished. I must fume and sweat.
Until lines two, three, SIX, and seven grind.
Right here Hoyle tackles foul, swear,
The sentiment must change IN Just this place,
The meter creased and sid along with care.
And all done with a bluff at easy grace
This is my first, if Heaven heeds my prayer
I'll yet fill IN this one last line Of space.

A heavy Verdict.

The largest verdict which has been
gotten in the State lately was asrendered
in Camden Thursday. The suit was
brought by William E. Boyd against
the Seaboard Air Line railway for
$4,000 on account Of injuries re-
ceived. Boyd, section foreman, was
on a handcar, with several section
hands, when a box car loaded with 200
crossties, having gotten out Of the
control of the men who were loading
it, rushed down the track, overlook
the handcar and killed two of the
hands. Boyd was manned. being
badly used up. He sued the road for
$4,000 actual damages, and $4,000
punitive damages. The jury brought
in a verdict for s22, 1000. Friday morn
ing Mr.. VIM. H. Lyles and Capt. VIM.
Shannon, representing the defendant
company, argued for either a new trial
or reduction Of the verdict. Judge
Dantzler said he was convinced that
the verdict was excessive and reduced
same to $4,000. Messrs. NJ. L..
Smith and J. T. Hay, attorneys rep
resenting the plaintiff, eloquently
pleaded for the verdict to stand as
rendered, but asked that if the judge
should conclude to reduce it, not to
make it less than $4,000. 1t is un-
derstood that the defense will appeal
to the supreme court.

How They Received It.

The Columbia Record says none of
the candidates for various state offices
were in the city Wednesday except
those who live here. John Gary Evans
read his doom at bis home at Spartan
burg, while Latimer smiled and shook
hands with himself at Belton. Cap
tain Hayward was at home, where
there was hardly sign Of Talbert's
men, and amidst such pleasant sur
roundingS to himself he read the news
Of his nomination. Colonel Talbert
got the bad news at home. In this
connection it may be mentioned that
Hayward made a first class run in
Edgeield, the people treating him
much better than ColletOn did Tai

Poisoned by Ice Cream.

Cases CT poisoning from the eating Of
impure ice cream are not frequent,
for confectioners are very careful
these days. But wholesale case Of
poisoning Of this kind occurred in
Columbia Thursday night. Little
Miss Annie Erwin AIcFeat in celebrat-
ing her 10th anniversary had number
of little friends to spend the afternoon
with her. There were several churnS
of cream, but strange to say not one
of the 40 little ones partook Of the
chocolate. Later about 10 OF II
grown people ate some of this kind.
All Of them were poisoned. Mrs. Nc
Feat suffered more than any Of the
other, and was really in critical con-
dition, but was better yesterday
Among others who were made sick
were Miss Lula Williams, Miss Lillian
Irby and DR.. G. J. OHTeros. Careful
inquiry developed the fact that none
of the cream was infected except the
chocolate. Columbia State.

a Good Selection.

The board Of trustees of the South
Carolina College met Friday afternoon
in the library for the purpose Of elect
ing a president to succeed DIR. F. G..
woodward. Much discussion was in
dulged in, but after careful considera-
tion the board unanimously agreed to
tender the position to Mr.. Charles A.
Woods, a prominent member Of the
Marion bar and a man who is deeply
interested in higher education. A
special committee consisting Of Gov.
McSweeney, Col. John T. Sloan and
Superintendent Of Education John j..
McMahan was appointed to visit Mar
ion and extend the invitation to Mr..
Woods. Although great many ap-
plications had been received by the
board and Mr.. Woods was not an ap-
plicant, even by way Ct utterance, the
selection was made only after much
meditation and because Mr.. Woods
was considered the most desirable man
for the position. The only fear of the
board was that he might refuse the
presidency and 1t is with this point IN
view that the invitation committee
will be sent to Marion.-Columbia

VIII Make q Good One.

The Savannah News says: South
Carolina is to be congratulated on the
success Of the distinguished gentle
man who. with the beginning Of the
next term, will assume the duties Of
governor of the state. Captain Hey
ward is a true son Of the soil, in the
best sense Of that abused expression,
and he will represent with fidelity
and understanding the interests OF
the people Of the state. Neither
demagogue. pcdant nor snob, he seems
tu US fitted with every needed attri-
butte to make South Carolina chief
executive of which the people Of that
tate will be proud"

The Spartanburg Journal has called
attention to the following compari'

An examination Of the list Of the

tives make a pretty even distribution.
If the offices had been divided out by
agreement they could not have been
more equally apportfoned.
In the contest for governor it Is
somewhat notable that Talbert, Re

Crushed Under a Rock.

A very sad ending came to the fun
and frolic of group Of boys who were
playing together Friday afternoon
near the Carolina cotton mills, in
Greenville, when Joe Grealish was IA
tally injured. The boys were digging
the dirt from around a huge rock,
which it, is thought would weigh up
wards Of 1000 pounds, when it sud-
denly rolled down the embankment,
in which it was embedded, knocking
Joe down, breaking his back, both
legs and otherwise injuring him. In
a short time he was taken to the
Greenyille Sanitarium, where an oper-
tion was performed, but there was no
possible chance for his recovery, and
his suferlngs were ended by death
Friday morning. Joe was y or .l3
years old. the only child Of Mrs.
Sophia Grealish, and grandson, of
Mrs. 4. II. Jenkins, with whom be
lived. His mother, who is a trained
nurse in Baltimore: was Immediately

tidings and she will reach here tomor-
row at y o'clock.

Cruel Employment.

The Savannah News says the sub
iect Of child labor in Southern mill is
one that is receiving just now consider"
able attention from the Northern
press. Revelations on this subject,
which are occasionally made, are not
grateful to Southern pride nor is a
visual inspection Of the system in
operation a very pleasing experience.
In fact it makes a man sick at heart
to see boys and girls Of less than ten
years Of sometimes several years
less wearing out their young lives in
the operation Of looms and spindles,
without any opportunity to secure
the advantages Of education or the
healthy freedom that ought to be a
child's portion.

FRAUDULENT VOTES.
The Neauseating Spectacle Furnish
ed by Charleston.

4 special dispatch from Charleston
to the Columbia State says bold anC
defiant attempts were made in Char.
lesion on Tuesday to practice fraud
il the primary, and in some instances
the attempts were successful. There
is feeling Of intense indignation
among the better sentiment of the
community and it is the opinion of all
who favor honest elections that dras-
tic measures should be resorted to
that honesty in the future might be
accom- pliShed at the ballot boxes.
Concerted efforts were made Tues
day to exclude Won Kolnitz watch
ers from the polls and it was not until
Chairmen Thayer went IN person and
overruled the objection of the mana
gers to Won Kolnitz's watchers. Even
then the authority of Mr. Thayer was
disputed by certain managers. but he
finally succeeded in establishing his
rights. He told the managers that
he was conducting the election and
he was responsible for the conditions
and that Won Kolnitz was entitled to
have watchers at the polls,
There were many attempts at re-
peating and in many cases the at
tempts were successful in spite Of the
Vigilant watching. \ well known
politician said Wednesday that there
must have been at least 400 fraudu-
lent votes, many of them being cast
under -SSa;,ss.c> names.
H. K. Moore,>o..ae ssssis1 lives
in Ward !, found that his vote had
been stolen from him when he stopped
at his precinct to vote for the candi-
dates of bis choice. The managers
told him that man giving his name
as H. K. Moore had voted early in the
day and that he could not vote. Mr..
Moore pronounced the vote as a
fraud and stated openly that he
would prosecute the man if he could
learn his name.
It is expected that the papers
which are in the hands of the solici-
tor for prosecution o. frauds at the
fcst primary be reinforced by evidence
Of fraudulent attempts at the primary
Tuesday and that the solicitor will be
urged to proceed against the violators
vigorously. It IS understood that the
solicitor is satisfied that he has suffi-
cient evidence to secure indictments
and is prepared to proceed.
A dispatch from Charleston to The
State says the press and the better
sentiment Of Charleston have united
in demand that Solicitor Hildebrand
prosecute the case Of fraud in the re-
cent Democratic primaries and there
is little doubt but that the demand
will take formal shape. The senti-
ment Of the community is aroused
over the rascality that was shown at
the polls in the first and second cleo
tions and the city is in fair way to
have the perpetrators brought to JUS
tice. a batch Of evidence and long
list Of names of those who partici-
pated in the frauds being secured and
Solicitor Hildebrand will have his
hands full when the list is forwarded
to him.

Strange Phenomenon.

During the recent volcanic eruption
at Martinique a strange phenomenon
was noticed at certain mineral springs
near Prague. The water first turned
brown and then red, retaining this
latter color for full hour. Scientists
are unable to account for this sudden
change in the water, but those who
reside near the springs are certain
that it was caused by the volcano, and
do not fail to point out that similar
phenomenon was observed in 17I5 on
the day when there was terrible
earthquake in Lisbon.
