SOLICITOR SEASE COMMENDbD.
The following is from the Anderson
Daily Mail:
Solicitor Sease has done the right
thing in getting special term of court
to try the rapist in Newberry County.
If the people were assured OF speedy
trials in such cases there would be alb
solutely no excuse for lynchings.
And the following is from the Spar
tanburg Daily Journal
The special term of court ordered to
try rapist in Newberry is the correct
way to handle such cases. 1t carries
out the forms of the law and also fur
nishes that speedy administration of
justice, which outraged public senti-
ment demands.
1t is true as both these contemporaries
say that the speedy administration of
justice in cases of this character is
necessary in order to let the public un-
derstand that the law is strong and
sufficient to deal with even the most re-
voting of crimes and to give stern
justice to the most degraded of criminals
and then there can be no excuse for re-
sort to lynch law. The regular term of
court for this county does not come
until the first of August.

desires of the people. DR.. Conwell
is by tar the best lecturer we have
ever had and it will pay anyone to
take long drive if necessary to hear
him.
His notoriety can not be overesti-
mated. He is president of the Tenn
pie College, Philadelphia; pastor of
the Baptist Temple, president of the
Samaritan Hospital and president of
the Philadelphia Orphans Home, be-
sides being lecturer and writer of
note. He delivers 200 lectures every
year and is accustomed to speak to
large crowds. In his Temple which
seats comfortably 5000 people and
has capacity of 1900. MIR. Conwell
draws such crowds of listeners that
for the past six years admission has
been obtained by tickets and thou
sands are often turned away.
We might write columns on his
ability but you all know of this great
man or most of you at least. If you
have not ask some one who may have
been fortunate enough to hear him.
Tickets can be procured at the door
at SOC each. Do not miss this the

for which we are paying the cash
price of $1,000.

possibly can should be present or lend

school spirit in the younger classes

complete the work. Let every one
who belongs to the class be present

DIED IN POVERTY.
Sad Story of the Life of Former
y Iowa Central Engineer.

o. N. Young, formerly of this coun-
,ty, now of Ringsted, Iowa, sends us
a copy OF the Estherville Enterprise,
containing the sad story of the life
and death of a man who waslonce
known to many people here. The
Enterprise says:
Jack Pierce, a peculiar character
who has forimany years eked out
miserable existence on the northeast
shore of Spirit Lake, died last week.
This man was at one time a trusted
engineer on the Iowa Central, bat on
account of his appetite for liquor lost
his position. He had a family con-
sisting of wife and several children
who have:suffered privations without
number for TIE man whoi was hus-
band and father, and TALL because Of
his ungovernable thirst for whiskey.
When sober, Jack. Pierce was COM
panionable, intelligent man, who was
skilled in the knowledge ofimachin-
cry. Had it not been for thislliquor
habit he could have filled positions of
trust wherever skilled labor is en-
ployed, but the alcohol demon had
him in it's clutches, and he was pow
erless, Il For one or two winters his
family lived in tent, and afterwards
he erected a one room shanty on the
shore of the lake where the family
lived in abject poverty, often. being
obliged to call on the county for as
sistance. 1t is not necessary for the
writer to pursue this unpleasant &C.
count further, but we refer to it that
young men who may not think it a
serious matter to take the first social
glass, may see what they are liable to
come to if they do not call "a halt
while it is in their power to do SO.
Had Jack Pierce stopped when he
could, he would not to-day FIJI a
drunkard's grave"

LOOKED GUN IN FACE
Police Officer 0'Brien Had an Excit-
ing Experience.

Officer Ed o'Brien of the police
force had narrow escape the other
evening. 1t seems that one George
Hall, colored, who conducts a sort
of a restaurant and rooming house on
Rock Island avenue, a resort for
colored people, got filed up on some
kind of dope. He chased out the in
mates.of the house and made such
threatening demonstrations that the
presence of an officer was thought
necessary. O'Brien. answered the call.
When he arrived at the place Hall
had taken refuge up stairs. He was
armed and in an ugly mood. O'Brien
was warned, not to go up stairs as
the consequences might be disaster
GUS. O'Brien did not fear the results
and went up stairs after the man. He
had hardly landed on the second
floor, however, when a door was
thrown!wide open'and big gun was
thrown lin the face of the officer.
O'Brien had his gun in his side
pocketibut he was covered.and could
not move. Hall was furious and
raved like a maniac. He swore that
no police officer could take him and
no one could take gun away from
him. O'Brien mildly remarked that
he didn't care to and commenced
talking about looking after some
Fother fellow. Hall was good fellow
and O'Brien was the best friend he
ever had. The colored man was
somewhat disconnected at the turn
of affairs. O'Brien showed no fight
and was cool "as a cucumber" until
he had q chance to get pretty close
to Hall. He made quick move,
knocked Halls gun down and had
the man covered with his own gun
and made the arrest. Hall wilted
when he saw the gun in his face.
O'Brien picked up Halls weapon and
made Hall go ahead of him to the jail
where he was placed for safe keep
ing. He was considerably stirred up
over being arrested after all but found
consolation in the remark addressed
to O'Brien "WeIl l made you beg just
the same" "I don't deny it," return
ed O'Brien, "but got you didn't II"
O'Brien says he don't care to be
placed in such a predicament very
often. 1t is trying to ones nerves,
particularly just after one has been
married for so short time.

HOME EXCHANGE GROWS.
One Hundred and Fifty Phones Added
Since Last October.

The Home Telephone is now oper-
ating sixty numbers on a new section
added to it's switch board and this ad-
ditiohal sixty numbers accommodates
one hundred and twenty new phones.
The numbers have been given out to
residents as party lines" two sub
scribers being on each line. This ar
rangement is all right for residence
districts and greatly facilitates the
work of the operator at the central Of
fee. By an ingenious contrivance for
the purpose of manipulating the cur
rent only the party desired is rung up
by central. Should the other party on
the line happen to take down the re-
ceiver at any time that the line is be-
ing used they can hear what is being
said, and this is the only undesirable
feature of the party line. 1t is the
aim of the company to place two par
ties on line who are perfectly congo
NAL and who are willing to be thus
associated.
The installing of this new board has
required about three weeks work by
an expert electrician from the east
and his task is now about completed,
and the new phones have been con-
nected to the switch board in the past
few days.
In October last the Home company
issued a new directory and at that
time they had eleven hundred sub
scribers listed. The growth Of the ex-
change has been constant and contin-
ually on the increase so that the ex-
change now numbers twelve hundred
and fifty numbers. There are now in
the company's business Office about
forty applications for phones and this
number does not include the rural
phones that are wanted.
Superintendent Dunsmore states
that the central office is now prepared
to supply the new antiseptic gauze
covering for the mouth piece of the
transmitter. 1t is claimed by some
physicians that disease germs are
lodged in the mouth piece of the trans
mitter by persons using the phone
and that it is dangerous place. By
placing the antiseptic gauze mouth
piece over the phone all danger of
communication of disease is done
away with.
