Richland Needs Court.

Solicitor Zimmerman has written
the following letter to the senators
and representatives in his circuit:
"Some time previous to the con-
vening of the general assembly 1 di-
rected a letter to the members of the
legislative delegations in each of the
counties of the fifth judicial circuit,
calling attention to the fact that there
was a necessity for some changes in
the arrangement of our courts with
a view to giving more time for the
trial of The criminal cases in Rich
land county, the criminal docket in
said county being very much con-
gested.: -.
"Later, after the convening of the
general assembly, at the request OF
one of the members Of the Lexington
delegation, prepared bill which in
my Judgment would have, if passed,
Afforded the necessary relief. I am
informed that on account of certain
local objections in certain of the
counties affected, the bill will not
pass.
ST therefore request that you use
your good offices to secure an appro-
priation of at least $500 to be used for
the purpose of providing a special
term of court for the trial of criminal
cases in Richland county, if SO much
be necessary. State, 18th.

Geo. Hasty to Serve Balance Of
Life in Peniteutiary.

Geo. Hasty, white, aged 21 years,
will serve the balance of his life in
the State penitentiary unless his at
torneys can get a rehearing of his
case. Hasty, it will be remembered,
shot and killed Milan Bennett and
Abbott Davidson, members of a the
atrical troupe, in his hotel in Gaffney
on Dec. Is, 1905. The case was of
unusual interest inasmuch as Hasty
killed the two men because they re-
sented an insult offered one of the
young ladies of their company by
Hasty, while they were guests at his
hotel. The trial came off last March
and was dramatic in many respects.

MRS. ELvA CARRIER EDWARDS

There are. three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood'
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change Of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another OF these I'M
portant crises. .,
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
tho critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change Of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

MAUI TEAM WILL
GIVE HARD FIGHT
The Polo Players Arrive and
Start Practise at
M0anaiua.

The Maui polo team arrived gester-
day morning on the Mauna Loa and
appear 10 be in hrst-class condition.
They went Immediately TO the Afoana
hotel. where they win make their head
quarters while in the city, and spent
the morning calling on their various
friends in the city. In the afternoon
the team went 10 the Moanalua polo
field and got in a little practise, knock
ing the bamboo BAH from one to an
other and getting used to the turf,
which differs from that on their home
field on account OF the shortness os the
grass.
The Maui ponies are in very good
shape and many of them have been
down here before and are well known
to the local people. Among these are
Venus, which viii be ridden on Satur-
day by Krumbhaar. In the games here
two years ago Venus was one of the
star performers in the matter Of speed
and could show the way to almost any
Of the local mounts. At that time she
had a world of speed but was not too
clever in following the bail. Those who
have seen her play this year state her
strongest point now is IN cleverness,
and that she can turn and twist when
i'm the midst OF a scrimmage like an eel.
In speaking OF the chance which the
Maui team has for winning the tour
nament yesterday D. T. Fleming, who
is considered the best back in the
islands. and VINO knows polo from A
to z. said:
You cannot say that we are conf
dent Of winning the tournament bur
you can say that we are confident OF
making a good showing. The men and
ponies are all in good condition and
have had plenty of practise. We are
certain TO give the Oahu players a
hard fight and I believe that the re-
suits should be very close.
1T may be that our ponies are a
little faster than those here, and We
certainly have a good string, but there
are other advantages which the Oahu
team has over Us. which win counter
/ balance this. ore Of the most inpor.
tant Of these is in the feId. We ars
/ accustomed to playing on ground:
/ where the grass is much longer thar
