TWO YEARS
FOR EDWARDS.
SentencePassed Upon Him
Yesterday Afternoon.
WILL BE NO APPEAL.
ID. ID. Dickson Acquitted Of
Murder of Huck.
Martin Milan is Acquitted Other Cases
Disposed of-Criminal Business
OF the Term Concluded.

The trial of Walker Edwards, ac-
cused Of killing Rosa Edwards, his
wife, ended at IL O'Clock Friday light
in verdict of guilty of manslaughter
with recommendation to mercy.
The evidence was in general like
that of the preliminary hearing. The
fact that the body of the unconscious
and dying woman was found laid out
straight on the floor with the clothing
neatly arranged as though it had been
so arranged after she fell, together
with the fact that some minutes are said
to have elapsed between the shot and
Edwards giving the alarm, had great
weight with the jury.
The jury, one of q high order of in
telligence, with James A. Copeland as
foreman, seems to have reasoned that
the woman did not die by her own
hand, that Edwards killed her, but that
as he was not seen to kill her he was
entitled to O benefit of q doubt as to the
manner and that therefore the pre-
sumption that it was in sudden heat
and passion was proper.
Messrs. Babb and Knight and Fer
guson and Featherstone promptly
moved for new trial. They argued
that no crime had been proven, that it
was not proven that any particular per-
son killed Rosa Edwards. Judge Buch-
anan yesterday afternoon refused the
fr,io nd 11tyo orle En-
two years in the penitentiary. Edwards
will accept the sentence and will not
appeal. Throughout the trial
Edwards behaved with his usual
calmless. Solicitor Sease conducted
the prosecution with decided skill and
ability.
Walter league, negro, was acquitted
of the murder of Dexter Madden, ne
gro, Simpson and Cooper for the de-
fense.

murder at Goldville of Tom Huck alias
Kinard. Ferguson and Featherstone

slaughter was sentenced two years for
killing Frank Beeks, and the case

The trial of Martin Milan, white, for
killing Whit Gary, colored, which at
last court resulted in mistrial, began
yesterday. Knight and Babb and AL
bert G. Todd are defended him. Solici-
tor Sease having conducted the exam
ination OF witnesses left for Spartan
burg in the afternoon, Mr.. r. A. Cooper

matters to be disposed of and the court
will attend to civil business for the re-
mainder of the week.

Laurens Man i'm q Terrible
Tragedy i'm Augusta.
CHAS. WALKERS DEED
Mrs. Walker Had Entered
Suit for Divorce.
Young Man Brought up In Laurens-
Brave but Hot Tempered-His
Career in the Army.

AT IL O'Clock Saturday morning last
Charles III. Walker killed his wife and
then shot himself in front OF the cot
tage of his brother-in-law, Eugene
Bissonette, in Woodlawn, suburb Of
Augusta, Ga. Walker was a native Of
this county, son OF the late Emmett
Walker and his mother and brother
live near here.
On the day previous to the shooting
Mrs. Walker had filed q suit for di-
vorce, alleging bad treatment on the
part of the husband. Walker was po-
liceman. AT the hour named he went
to the house of Bissonette and called
his wife out. After few moments
earnest conversation, SO witness says,
heput his arms around her neck, placed
the pistol to her ear and fired twice or
three times and then shot himself.
Both died almost instantly.
Mrs. Walker was Miss Stella Spears.
She was 10 years old and was a beauti-
ful girl. She ran away and married
Walker. A three months old baby SUR
wives them.
Charlie Walker was about 81. He
was man of hot temper but of great
courage. Once he was accidentally
shot by another policeman when they
were trying to make an arrest. At the
time he saved the life of Policeman
Baston who had clinched with a negro.
Walker served in the war with
Spain. While in San Francisco he
stabbed Northern soldier who made
an insulting remark about Southern
women. The quarrel grew out of a
lynching discussion. Walker was
y court martialled and sentenced to Inn
prisonment but South Carolina con-
gressmen got him out of the scrape.
The ball that killed Mrs. Walker
went through the head and so did that
which killed Walker. Walkers body
wAs found on the sidewalk and Mrs.
Walkers was found in the yard, inside
the Ngate. 1t is not thought Walker
premieditated the affair.
The terrible affair is greatly regretted
here by numbers of friends Of the
family. Walker was liked here

It Will BE Explained.

In another part of the paper will be
seen the report of the Grand Jury. 1t
will be seen that an unfortunate con-
troversy has sprung up with regard to
a settlement between the local dispen-
sary and Ex-county Treasurer Messer
Babb. We suspect that the matter
will be explained to the satisfaction OF
all parties. Nobody in this county is
going to hastily believe that either mr.
Babb or the Dispensary authorities
have been guilty of any wrong doing.
AS yet there is nothing to be excited
about THE ADVERTISER advises its
readers to suspend judgement and say
nothing until the matter is more fully
investigated.

has also been ginned and sold. Few
farmers are holding for better prices.
The corn crop is far in excess of last

Mr.. James Simpson OF this place who
has lived here thirty seven years says
there hasn't been day in that length
of time that he did not have corn in his

to speak French or German or Spanish
or some other language unknown to
him cannot conceal my amusement.
In nine cases out Of ten / might cay
that the men Vho express regret OF
this sort handle English very poorly
If that happens to be their language.
THE chances are that their vocabu-
larics are extremely limited, and It

that despite the advantages OF birth
and education they could not command

their savings. and they plunge into dis

other subjects of such fine elegance
and do it rather successfully too.
"Now, how long ought 1t to take for
