Drawing Of Jurors.
Important Ruling of Supreme
Court in Case of Frank
Deals sSlayer - Mills to
Serve Life Sentence.

court yesterday dismissed the ap.
peal of w. n. Mills, who was
sentenced to life imprisonment
for the killing of Frank Deal in
Cherokee county in March 1906
The case will be remembered as
one of the most sensational in
the upper part of the State, the
defense being that Deal was in
innate with Mills wife, which
led to the killing.
The jury returned a verdict of
guilty with recommendation to
mercy and the appeal was taken
on the charge of the Judge and
on the rather unusual ground
that the jury commission com.
posed of the clerk of court, audi
tor and treasurer. had in drawing
the grand and petit jurors, dis
cussed the character of each name
presented, whether he was a good
citizen and his qualifications for
jury duty. The auditor of Cher
okee county was placed upon the
stand and testified that the com.
mission discussed each name
drawn, whether the proposed
juror was a good citizen, wheth-
er or not illiterate, whether a
drunkard or not and whether
"rowdy" or a peaceable man.
The attorneys for the defense
argued before Judge Purdy that
this was in violation of the sta.
tutes, but this contention was
overruled and the case went on
trial. On conviction the same
argument was made before the
supreme court. That body held,
no Tever, that the action Of the
jury commission and of the au.
ditor was simply the honest eff
tort Of faithful officer to carry
out the law. The act of 1902
in prescribing jury duty, pages
1906 and 1867, says as to the
duties of the commissioners: eff
there shall be drawn from said
jury box ballot containing the
name of any person not between
the ages Of 81 and 65 years, or
not of good moral character, or
who has died, or who has remoy-
ed from the county or is other
wise disqualified to serve as a
juror, such ballot shall be de.
stroyed and such name be struck
from the said list and another
ballot drawn and so on until
Ihe &c are secured"
Section 2 of the said act says:
"That the said county auditor,
county treasurer, and the clerk
OF the court of common pleas of
each county shall immediately
after the passage Of this act, and
thereafter in the month of Dec.
of this and each succeeding year,
prepare list of such qualifie d
electors, under the provisions of
the constitution, between the
ages of 81 and 65 years and of

Horrible Murder of Old La
dy in Lexington County,
Chopped inHead with Axe

Il
Columbia special in Thurs
days Charlotte Observer: Sit
ting quietly at her patchwork in
her home two miles west of
Cayce, in Lexington county, this
morning, white haired Mrs. Paul
u. Ellison was suddenly struck
down from behind by negro
burglar armed with her husbands
axe. The point of the heavy
weapon sank deep into the skull
and death was probably instan-
taneous. Catching up the pitt
ful, wasted body, the assassin
forced it into a clothes basket
near at hand and tossed over it
the quilts from the bed. Then,
catching up Mr.. Ellisor's shot
gun and one of his coats, the
murderer fled.
Tie crime was not discovered
until an hour or more afterwards.
Mr.. Ellison had gone to New

worse than anything they could
have feared.
The alarm was quickly given

Latest from Vermont.

White River, Junction, Vt, Sept 9.
 Although actual comparisons of this years vote with the vote of four years ago cannot be made until com plete returns are received, it is esti- mated that the falling of in the re- publican vote was somewhat in ex- cess of. the reduction in the demo- cratic. poll. Four years ago Bell, the republican candidate for governor. received 48,116 votes against 16,556 for Porter, the democratic candidate, a republican plurality of 31, ,567. Ap- plying the average republican and democratic declines of 6 and B per cent respectively to the :. ninekeen missing towns, their estimated vote this year Is 2,362 for PTouty and 632 for Burke, an estimated total of 45,- 405 for Prouty and 15.950s for Burke, making republican plural ity estimated at 29,455. In 1904 the combined republican and demo cratic vote was 64,669; this years the estimated total is 61,355,a fall- ing of of per cent. Compared with 1904 the estimated republican plu- 'rality this year shows loss of be- tween and 2 per cent.

PARIS SURPRISED
GermaDy's Altitude ia Moroccan Affair Has Fallen Like a
 BombsheIl.

Paris, September 2.-Germanys action In breaking up the concert of the powers with regard to Moracco by notifying the signatories of the Algediras act that she considered the actual situation demanded immediate recognition of Mulai-Hafid, the usurping sultan of Morocco, has fal- len like bombshell in Paris. Only yesterday the French press was re- training from impugning political motives to Germany in the despatch of Dr Vassel, the German consul at Tangier to Fez. To-day however with the arrival of Germany's official not ification regarding the recognition of Mulai- -Hafid a feeling approaching consternation Is manifested in official circles.
 This notification which was made verbally is not accompanied by any explanation of Germany's brutal change of front, as it is termed here and in government circles, the action of Germany and the despatch of Dr Vassel can no longer be disassociated.
 Officials see in Germany's action a virtual proclamation of her intention to disregard the Algeclras act and seek special position in Morocco for herself. The consequence are ex- pected to be deplorable.

REAR ADMIRAL SHERRY.

Deakin, the prime minister, said:
 "The appearance of the American fleet indicates that it Is on no holi. day cruise. It's visit marks for us no casual adventure. for the invita- tion was given in spirit of deepest earnestness after sober consideration and the concession made by the American government in sending the fleet here Is perhaps the most gen. erous made in recent times by one nation to another The American battleships show the last word ih the art of naval construction and the lesson to Australians is that as America was unable to take first place in the world until the coun- try had first class navy, because it was until then only able to protest verbally against outside injustice and injury, so Australia cannot be content to ultimately accept defense at any other hands than it's own and should begin provision for its own navy in. a modest way"

JUST OUT OF PRISON
Romance Which Began Twenty
 Years Ago Ended in Mar. rIsge Yesisrdsy.

Bartlesville, Okla. Sept 2.-Em- nett Dalton and Mrs Julia Lewis were married here last night. Only few months ago Dalton was par doned from the Kansas penitentiary, where he was serving life sen- tence for participation in the raid on the Coffeyville bank, more than 10 years ago. Julia Lewis Is the widow of Ernest Lewis, who died in a bloody fight with United States Marshals Keeler and Williams in this city last November.
 The romance between Dalton and Julia Lewis began 20 years ago, when the latter, who was the daugh- ter of Texas Johnson, lived with her parents near the Kansas line, IS miles north of Bartlesville. She and Dalton were about the same age, and they rode races, practiced shooting with rifles, and rode their ponies to all the dances within 30 miles of the Johnson house.
 While Dalton was hiding from the officers, 1t is said the girl cooked his meals and kept him informed of the movements, of tue pursuers. It was about this time that Dalton was shot while raiding the Coffeyville bank with his brother. He was sent to the penitentiary and never saw his former sweetheart until he was released, last winter. She wrote to him frequently and spent good deal of her time working to gain him a pardon.
