in his elmlne, there were the officers
of the court, about the prisoner were
his lawyers and in the rear in the
room about 800 people. The scene
was dramatic.
Judge Memmineer. III addressing
the prisoner. said: "You have been
tried here on a charge Of murder and
you have suffered the fearful and hor-
rible ordeal of the last five days in
which your life has been hanging in
the balance. ! have endeavored to
give you an absolutely fair and i'm
partial trial. You have been repre-
sented by able and earnest counsel; :;
you have had the benefit Of most
complete and able defense. | may
have erred in the conduct of your
case, it is possible, but [ do not think
so. I have given you my best judg-
ment and best thought in this case.
The jury has given you the benefit
of the law, which reduces the punish
ment for murder from hanging to i'm
prisonment for life. The court has
no discretion in the matter. Have
you anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced on youg'
The prisoner replied through coun-
sci and said, ''Nothing but what has
been stated.''
Then the usual sentence for life
imprisonment was pronounced.
Court adjourned Immediately and
before the prisoner arose from his
seat, Rev. Ernest Ross. a young Bap-
tist minister, came to W here he sat,
placed his arms about him and Geo.
Hasty burst into "a flood Of tears, the
first emotion he has displayed during
the trial John Kitchings, a young
barber, also came up and the three
men wept together in grief and sym
pathy.
The prisoner sat in the court room
about an hour after the sentence, talk
ing to Mr.. Kitchings. The two wept
all the time. When he departed for
the Jail at 11.20 clock he had resum-
ed his accustomed stoical bearing but
his eyes were red and his face clearly
showed the powerful emotion that had
shaken him.
The case will be taken to the su-
preme court by counsel for Hasty.
The Ground For Appeal. Il
Section 81, to which Judge Mem
minger referred, is as follows:
"Should the business before the court
of general sessions at any. term not be
completed on the arrival of the day
fixed by law for the holding Of the
court Of common pleas for said coun-
ty, the judge presiding may, in his
adjourn said court Of COM
mon pleas until the business Of the
court of general sessions shall have
been concluded. But the provisions
of this act shall not apply to the
courts held in the county Of New
berry,"
In the case Of Mcclellan VS.. Parker,
90 S. c., 237; S. E. 295, it is held
that, "It is necessary to such adjourn
ment that the court Of common pleas
should be opened on the day fixed FOR
it's holding" ..-:
In Hardin VS.. TRIMMER, 80 S. c.,
3g1; 9 S. E. 342: "But where the Of
fcers and machinery are present IN
court house on the fixed day, that
court is then opened by operation OF
law without anv formality.'

Letter to M. Hoffman & Bro.
Scotland Neck, N. G..

Dear Sirs: Now, may be, you can't
get the goods If you can, your fortune
is made.
Cotton cloth-they call it muslin in
some parts-at about the usual price
per yard, but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white and whole surprising time in
all sorts Of wear.
You could sell that cloth for hun
dreds OF miles there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till we'll
WORKOUT. No one customer buys so
much of 1t in cloth but you can in
paint: Devoe. Devoe is as ii 1t were
wider gallon goes further; you buy
less gallons you pay for less gallons
you pay for painting less gallons--as
ii one paid less for making a garment
of that wide cloth--and it keeps its
fresh look and shreds water till you
have forgotten how old it is.
It isn't true in cloth, but it Is in
paint the less you pay, the better it is
for the goodness of paint is reckoned
by gallons less gallons, moro goodness.
Goodness in paint is strength. The
stronger a paint, the less gallons it
takes for job and the longer 1t wears.
Yours truly,
