report says:
The week ending a. 10. Nor day
the 10th, began with high tempera
lures and fair weather. Soowery
conditions with rain, hail, sleet anC
snow hurries prevailed from 4th te
the 9Th inclusive. The hail did some
damage to tobacco and Strawberries
in the northeastern counties. The
sleet and snow were confined to the
western and central counties and die
very little damage. The snow oc
CURED in the western and central
counties but was not general, and IT
melted as it fell.
The rainfall varied from less than
half an inch to over an inch, and was
very well distributed and beneficial to
growing vegetation and put the sol
into excellent condition for cultiva-
tion; 1t was heavy enough to stop
blowing over the western counties
but scarcely lnterfered with farm
work In other sections.
The frost on the 7th was general
over the state to within about six
miles of the coast. 1t was killing
over the western counties where the
minimum temperature fell to about 4
degrees below freezing, and generally
light In all other sections. Tender
garoen vegetables, such as beans and
tomatoes, were more or less injured,
and corn was nipped in the western
counties, although the damage was
slight as there was but little up.
Fruit Is in full bloom in the extreme
western cou.'ties, and the frost was,
in places, quite damaging, but else
where 1t Is not believed that fruit
was materially injured, except figs in
places and possibly peaches
Farm work Is we'll advanced gen
orally, though backward in some
sections where labor Is scarce.
Corn planting is nearly finished in
the eastern aud central counties
where most Of It is up to fairly good
stands; in the western counties
planting Is we'll under way on up
lands. Cotton planting has been be
gun In the eastern parts and will
be begun in the western ones
next week. Some cotton is already
up. Tobacco plants are small in Ma
rion, and they were slightly injured
by the hail which fell in sections.
Rice planting is making rapid pro-
gress In the Colleton district and has
not begun in the Georgetown dis
trict, where the proposed acreage
will be smaller than usual. Some
sweet potatoes have besn planted in
the southeastern countless
The small grain crops are generally
doing well and look promising, but in
some sections the cat crop is poor !;
rye is heading. Pastures afford good

Sanders, Nichols s. Jones, George
Johnstone and Samuel w. Melton.
Judge Norton presided over that term
of SQUIRT. Turner was sentenced to be
hanged on Friday, October 3, 1890.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court. The case stood pending fol
about two years, during which time
the prisoner stayed in Jail. On July
IA, 1892, remittitur was handed
down from the supreme court sus.
tanning the Judgment OF the lower
court and directing another date OF
execution.
At the January term of sessions,
1893, Turner was resentenced to hang
by Judge Merton, Who pronounced the
first sentence. The day assigned was
was June 2, 1898. A strong effort
was made to have Judge Merton grant
new trial on the grounds Of after
discovered evidence; but the judge
held that he had no jurisdiction since
the supreme court had passed on the
matter.
Council for Turner then carried the
matter to the final arbiter, the su.
preme court, asking for new trial on
the same grounds as presented to
Judge NortOn-after discovered evil
dence. AS result an order OF this
court was received, staying executian
until the appeal could be heard. Ol
July 25, 1898, remittitur was sent
from the supreme court sustaining
the circuit court, and ordering q
new date for the execution Of the
sentence.
at the July term Of sessions court,
1893, and on July 27, Judge William
H. Wallace resentenced George S
Turner to be hanged, and the sentence
of court was carried out by the then
sheriff, George B. Dean, on September
1, 1893.
George S. Turner was remarkable
man in many respects. He was a
splendid type Of the physical man,
and was endowed with gracious
supply Of common sense and tact for
making money. He was born on
Thickety Creek, five miles from Gaff
ney, on June 6, 1850. at the close Of
the war he was lad without dollar
and left to hustle for himself Like
many young men In the Reconstruct
ton times, he was drawn into the Ku
Klux organization, and when this ne
ceSsary factor for the preservation of
the virtue and property Of the south,
land had ceased to exist he had t.
leave the State for couple OF years.
On returning he began to devote his
energies to amaSSing a fortune.
Knowing the profit to be derived from
cotton manufacturing, he engaged In
that industrial business, along with
farming. He operated and owned the
Fingerville mill at one time, and later
owned the Lolo mill. at the time of
his execution his wealth Is estimated
by one who should be conversant with
the subject at $50, 900. He conduct
ed busine SIS strictly on business princi-
pies, and met his oblig 4tlOns By
nature he was inclinedSto be imperi-
Gus and domlneering, and while not a
person to go away out to seek diff
Guilty, he would not be brooked, nor
would he allow one to cross his path.
Intense prejudice existed against the
man after his career OF crime. Three
years prior to the killing of Ed Finger
he slew German named Matzkia and
when tried was convicted and SEN
fenced to seven years In the peniten.
tiary. He secured new trial from
the supreme court and when the case
came up again he was acquitted.
