The subject of this sketch wa
born in Marion county July 18th
1861, and is therefore in the 42nC
year of his age. He was reared or
the farm and enjoyed the best
educational advantages that hi:
county afforded. In early manhood
he came to Williamsburg and taught
school near Lake City. He was
subsequently employed at Lake City
as salesman and bookkeeper, in which
capacity he served continuously eight
years. After leaving Lake City Nj
Wall went to Yorkyille where he
studied medicine two years under Dr.
John May, but did not complete his
education, preferring to follow mer,
camille life. Returning to Williams,
burg he located at Scranton and
married Miss Irene Byrd, daughter
of the late DR. S D NJ Byrd. He
has since devoted his attention to
farming and merchandising and has
been very successful.
Mr. Wall is public spirited citizen
and has always taken an active part
in public matters. He has served as
intendant Of Scranton several terms
and has been chairman of the board
of trustees of Scranton district a
number ot years. He is very popu-
lnr at home and enjoys the conf
dence and esteem of his ne;ghbors.
He received practically the unani-
nous vote at his precinct at the late
primary election, and his nomination
for the Legislature by an overwhelm-
ing majority is matter of pride and
qualification to himself and his
many friends.

William Le0nldaS Bass was born
and reared in that portion of Marion
county now embraced in Florence
county. He is the third son of DR.
Thomas R Bass, who as physician,
a farmer, a citizen and d country
gentleman was one of the most sue
cessful and highly respected of his
his day. DR. Bass was member of
the first Democratic delegation sent
from Marion county to the Legisla-
ture after the war and was a leader
in the movement that in 1876
wrested the State from negro and
carpet bag rule.
The boyhood days of the subject
of this sketch were spent on his
fathers farm in doing his share of
farm work and attending the neigh
borhood schools, He was prepared
for college by Mr. Arthur H Harl-
lee, now encouragement of New
Mexico, and E q Haynesworth, Esq,
of Sumter. He entered the South
Carolina College in 1882 and grad
uated in 1884 in the Teachers
Course" Was president of the

1895 was elected vice president of
the Alumni Association. After
graduation he studied law in the
office of Thos NJ Gilland, Esq, and
was admitted to the bar in Decem-
ber, 1885. He devoted quite num-
Der of the years Of his life to teach
ing. In 1891 he opened the Lake
City High School which he built up
from very small beginning to be
one of the best and most widely
known schools in Eastern South
Carolina and won for himself the
reputation of being among the best
teachers of the State. In 1896 he
became superintendent of the
Blackyille Graded Schools. On
account of bad health he abandoned
teaching, and after year in Florida
and South Georgia spent in regain
ing his health, he returned to Lake
City and opened his law office. in
January, 1899. Since this time he
has devoted himself exclusively to
the law and has built up a good,
steady and lucrative practice and
has gained the reputation of being
an earnest and safe counsellor and a
hard working and able advocate.
He has been connected with some
of the most important cases that
have arisen in this section, among
which we may mention the cele-
brated "Baker case'' and the Dis
pensary cases.

Senator Asbury H Williams vas
born March 20, 1859, in Collector
county and was educated in th'
common schools of that county anc
the Orangeburg High School. Ht
was graduated in medicine in 1885,
at the Charleston Medical College
and shortly thereafter came to Will
liamsburg county and established
an office at Lake City (ther
Grahams X Roads, where he ha;
resided ever since.
DIR Williams was elected to the
State Senate in 1890 and has served
the people in that capacity contin,
ouslv ever since, being nominated in
the primary the last two times with,
out opposition.
DR. Williams is man of unusu-
ally versatile talent and his achieve
ments in business way have been
as remarkable as his success in poll
tics. As physician he stands in
the front rank of the profession in
the county and a few years ago his
clientele had grown so large that he
had to almost retire from the prac-
tice of medicine to devote his at
tention to his business interests. He
has been closely identified with the
growth of Lake City and has esrec-
tally fostered and encouraged the
culture of tobacco in that thriving
section. With keen foresight and
sagacious intelligence he has always
believed in the future of Lake City
and substantially supported every
enterprise that conduced to the
growth of the town.
Politically he is recognized as one
of the strongest factors in county
politics, having twice been elected
county chairman of the Democratic
executive committee IN addition to
his long service as State Senator.
During his long career in the Sen.
ate he has made all enviable record
for ability and conservatism. While
not brilliant speaker he wields q
a strong influence among his con-
freres, which is e5erted for the good
of his constituents. Senator Will
liams was prominently mentioned as
a candidate for Secretary of the
State in the last campaign bat de-
clined to enter the race.

A VERY SAD Case.
VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY IN
CASE OF ROBT. BODIFCRD.
That the Deceased Came to His
Death at the Hands OF
James w. Bedford.

James w. SOQlIOru.
Eve find that the deceased,
Robert Bodiford, come to his death
by a pistol shot at the hands OF
James W Bodiford on the night OF
December 20, 1902"
The foregoing verdict was render
ed last Monday afternoon by the
jury of inquest empanelled by
Coroner H N Burrows in a case
which has excited considerable at
tention during the past few weeks
both in this and adjoining counties.
Following is the personnel of the
Jury: J A Scott, foreman, r W
Fulton, J L Brown, W J Reddick,
RW Spivey, W H Walters, j B
Gamble, ] S Driggers, Alex Smith,
j H Hanna, Jr., w H Kinder and
B H McClary.
1t will be remembered that shortly
after the homicide occurred an IN
quest was held at the scene of the
killing by Mr. ] G Lifrage. Owing
to the fact that Mr. Lifrage is not a
magistrate it was held that he was
without power to hold the inquest
and on Monday, January 5, the mat
ter was re-opened by Coroner Bur-
rows. On that day a great deal OF
time was spent in the taking of
testimony SO that the jury did not
arrive at a verdict and the inquest
was adjourned until last Monday.
The testimony in the case is
voluminous and it would be impos-
sible to reproduce it in detail. 1t
seems that young Bodiford's death
wound was inflicted by bullet from
a 3s calibre pistol and there were
witnesses who testified that James "
Bodiford was in possession of and
had fired a pistol of this calibre on
the night in question. The testi-
mony of the Coins was that Mr
Bodiford came by their house cursing
them and daring them to the road
and that he shot towards their house
several times with a pistol. He then
went to his own home and returned
with a shotgun and there was some
more shooting done on both sides.
Then Bedford came up near their
yard and shot Grover Cleveland
Coins in the knee. This bullet was
extracted and found to be of 3S
calibre. The Coins claimed that
that they used shotgun during
the meelee.
Mr. james Bodiford's testimony
was substantially the same as that
he gave at the former inquest. On
the evening of December 23 he was
passing Wash Coins house. The
Coins began cursing him. He went
on and several shots were fired.
Did not know whether they were
shooting at him or not. He shot
back and they returned the fire,
Did not see his son, Robert Bodiford
there. The body of Robert Bodi-
ford was found lying in the path
near the road by Luther Bodiford
after the shooting was over.
When the jury rendered their ver-
dict Coroner Burrows issued war
rant for James w Bodifoad on a
charge of murder and the latter was
placed in Jail to await trial at the
next term of court,
The whole affair is very pathetic,
adding another sad chapter to the
homicidal chronicles of Williams
burg county.

PAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS.
Discussed by Statesmen at PhiIadeI-
phia Meeting.

phia Meeting.
Philadelphia, April 1S.-Pan-Ameri-
can relations were discussed at to-
days session of the annual meeting
of the American Academy of Political
and Social Science. Papers were read
by Charts r. Flint of New York,
Frederic Emory, chief of the State
Department Bureau of Commerce,
and by Senator Shelby M. Cullom of
Illinois. Mr.. Flint said:
1T is evident that the trend of the
times is toward greater community of
interest between the peoples of the
Americas. 1t is only a question of
years when an inter-Continental Rail-
way, with a bridge across our 18TH
milan canal will bring us closer to-
gether in fact, as we are in common
interest"
Senator Cullom said he favored a
closer community of interests between
the United States and the Southern
Republics. Trade and the flag should
go together, he said, and he hoped the
three Americas would soon be bound
together by lines of ships, subsidized
if necessary. and by railroad and tele-
grahp lines.
Senator Cullom concluded by refer
ring to the benefits to be derived
from the construction of the Panama
canal.

RUBBER SATISFACTION.

Most dealers in rubber goods have

a poor article will last long enough fer
you to forget where you purchased il.
We do differently, and it isn't mat
ter of ethics, either; it's mere business.
We believe it pays in dollars and cents
to sell goods that are notably better
than the average. We also believe it
pays to accept slight profits. See us
