is Acquitted by an Abbeville jury

is Acquitted by an Abbevil1e jury.
The trial of the case of the stateal
aaginst Wade F. Cothran and Gary I
mel, charged with the killing of. c
Holstein, resulted in a verdict of moi
guilty the jury remaining out n houl
The shooting took place in the street
in Mccormick on the 22d or January
1905, Holstein was taken to Augusta
accompanied by DR.. r. M, Fuller,
and placed in the hospital there, and
died the next morning.
Solicitor Cooper was assisted by At
torneys Frank B. Gary and G. J. Per
ryman of Lincolnton, Ga. The defence
was conducted by Attorneys w. N.
Graydon and w. P. Green. w. w.
Holstein, of Ratesburg. the father OF
the deceased, is attending trial. :
: The jurors who tried b cases are
T. q. Cochran, foreman; P, L. Blan-
chett,, PIT. Busby, Add Hill, Thos,
McNeilI, J. D. Bowie, w, r. Richard
son, J. E. Mundsy, Otto Nelson, r. r.
Ferguson, John Gilmer and M. w.
Baker.
The defence brought ont this state,
ment: Cothran and several friends
were,going to the restaurant, and some
remark was made by Cothran, which
was taken by Napoleon Wideman as
Intentionally offensive to him, though
Cothran says he did not know that he
was neal. "The lie" passed, when
Cothran turned upon Wideman as tito
ask an apology. He had a walking
stick in his hand, and Wideman seized
the stick and began stabbing Cothran
with q pocket knife, which he had in
\ his hand, Wideman made three cuts
at him, cutting Cochran severely in
the arm. The other two cuts failed to
reach the flesh.
Cothran who had his pistol with him
having had notice that his services as
counstable might be needed, did not
draw his pistol until Wideman had
gone, down the street. Cothran refus-
ed to surrender his pistol to the police
man, because of fear of another attack
by Wideman, and that bis pistol was
discharged In the struggle to wrest it
from him by nc intention of his.
Gary Palmer testified that he was in
Mccormick that day with his brother
Wade, who had law suit before he
magistrate and when he heard that
Wade was in trouble he ran to the
place, and when he discovered that
it was Wsde Cothran he returned to
the drug store without any way med.
ding with the difficulty. He denied
that,he patted Cothran on his breast
and told him "to 60 his length, that be
was with him." on the contrary he
said that he had not spoken to Cothran
for nearly three years on account o.
some disagreement between them
that he was. apprehensive that Cothran
might have shot him in his excite
ment.

Letter to w. #. Perrin.

Dear Sir: A big mill owner, Spartan
burg, 8 G, wanted 5000 gallons of
paint, and bought by price; paid 5 cts
less than ours: got q '']ead-and-zinc"
paint; but the lead was sulphate of
lead, not. carbonate. Sulphate costs
about half; and covers about half.
That paint was a%dulterated about
six times as much as the five cents
paid for. He saved" 5 cents and it
cost him 80.
Oh no; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it out
exactly; don't know how long it'll
wear g..
Short measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his Saving" 5
cents.
It was thin, too; some loss there:
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it.
The maker made something on that:
he didn't.
Taking it altogether; be didn't make
much by that 5 cents.
Go by the name: and the name is De-
voc lead. and-zinc.
Yours truly

The German delegates put forward
the attractive principle Of disinterest-

the other hand, maintain that France

that, having followed an active policy
in Morocco for eight years and having
obtained numerous advantages, France
should not now be asked to take the
same position as all the rest of the

Washington, Jan. 25-Secretary Taft
was before the senate committee on

Taft, which report was signed by the
parties to the conference.
