Judson Beck Escapes The Gallows.

The State, 22d inst.
Judson Beck of Barnwell has
had narrow escape from the gal
lows. Gov. Hayward yesterday
commuted his sentence to life
imprisonment. The condemned
maa was to have been hanged on
the Oath of April, but it was re-
presented to the governor that an
appeal was pending, and respite
of 80 days was granted.
The respite was forwared by
wire and as an extra precautlon q
message was 'phoned to the sheriff
OF Barnwell to stay the execution.
Tuesday marks the expiration of
marching to the gallows to don
the black cap of death, Judson
Beck will be brought to the pen
'itentiary to wear the stripe livery
of life convict.
The crime which Beck was con-
vlcted was the killing of his broth
er>in-law. The testimony at the
trial last March was conflicting,
but 1T seems that Beck was corr
recting his wife when the brother
came up and sought to interfere.
In the melee Beck shot and killed
his brother-in law.

extensively cabled remarks to
show what was happening there.
While transactions in the New
York market did not aggregate as
large a total as the record day of
last week, the market today holds
the seasons record in point of the
advance.
During the afternoon May cotton
sold at IL .6S cents, an advance of
55 points. July sold at 26, an
advance of 55 points and August
sold at 900, an advance of As

Auditor Cook Receives Sad News
OF His Brothers. Death

+ Auditor j. A. Cook received q
telegram Thursday from Blocton,
Ala, stating that his brother,
Judson Cook, had died early that
morning. This was a sad sur,
prise to Mr.. Cook who had re-
ceived'a letter from his brother
only few weeks ago stating that
he was enjoying fine health, doing
well, and was contemplating a
visit home in June. Mr.. Cook
telegraphed at once to have the
remains sent home by express but
received an answer that It could
not he done as there was no EN-
balmer in the town and that all
arrangements had been made for
interment there at S O'Clock that
afternoon. The telegram also
stated that he had died of pneu-
monia.
Judson Cook was a son of the
late N. M. Cook of Taxahaw in
this county, and was about 33
years of age. He leaves his
mother. one brother and two s;s
ters, Mrs. r E. Gregory of Tax
ahaw, and Mrs. H. M. Cook of
North Carolina, surviving him.
They have the deepest sympathy
of their many friends in their sor-
row.

Marched Through Three Wars,
James Powers of Richland Coun.
ty, Oldest Confederate
Veteran in the State
Patriot and Soldier.

The oldest soldier in South Car
olina is James Powers, veteran of
three wars. Nay, of four. For
he rode with Haskell in those days
when South Carolina was trodden
under the heel of despotism
worse than war. And his brave
old spirit marched with the BOYS
to what might be called a fifth,
although he saw more fghtirg IN
month under jeff Dayis than he
would have seen ia a year around
Santiago. He volunteered and the
mastering officers refused to take
him on account of his age.
Born July 90, 1912, James
Powers of Don't, Rlchland county,
will be 81 years of age in few
weeks. OF all the veterans who
attended the reunion, he has been
adjudged the oldest. For more
than one reason is he entitled to
the reward, for his was valiant
service, though in an unpreten-
tlous capacity. In the Seminole
war he followed the Stars and
Stripes; all through the War with
Mexico he marched aginst the
precipitous fortifcations of Santa
Anna, and when the union of
States was discovered he followed
Maxcy Gregg and others of his
comrades on former bloody fields.
Last week Mr.. II. H. Edmunds
offered to present the oldest vet
eran III Colum bia a silk umbrella
with gold handle. All were sur
prlsed at the number of very aged
men whose names were presented.
The next oldest veteran was Mr..
Livingston of Newberry, who is
Ss. He was a youth of SO when
Lees ragged battaliors stacked
arms at Appomattox.
When Capt. Startling presented
the beautiful umbrella to Mr..
Powers yesterday the old gentle
man spoke with flashing eyes: "I
am glad that | have lived long
enough to get prize us the Oldest
soldier in South Carolina. When
he dies he will not leaye the UNI
brella to be fused over by his
numerous relatives, but wants it
