HUNT FOR sUNk,EN TREASURE.
Jamaican Syndicate spoiIs Plans Of
Expedition Of Harvard Students.

Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 6.-The
expedition, composed of Harvard stu
dents, which started recently on the
steamer Mayfiower from New York in
search Of sunken treasure in these
waters will likely have to modify the
original plans.
The treasure seekers intended to
search for Spanish galleon which
sank many years ago, but the Ameri-
can expedition has been anticipated
by a Jamaican syndicate which char
tered a schooner and, after an inef-
fectual search, returned to Montego
Bay.
The Jamaicans occupied several
weeks in their gold hunting trip and
had exciting experiences with hurri-
canes. The gaileon was not found
but her position on the ocean bed was
located, the wreck having broken to
pieces years ago. Divers were sent
down and a number of Spanish gold
coins were recovered but nothing of
great value,
The leader Of the expedition was
the son of Sir Henry Arthur Blake,
who was governor of Jamaica in 1889
and 1897.

vERDicT WAS A SURPRISE.
garrison Found Guilty Of MansIaughter
but Recommended to Mercy


Laurens, s. c.. Oct 3-"Guilty of
manslauehter with recommendation to
the mercy of the court, - is the verdict
in the case of Henry CART on, charged
with the murder of Lewis Williamson,
his daughters sweetheart.
The result Is great surprise, as
Garrison's friends had expected imme-
mediate acquittal when the case went
to the jury.
Under this verdict the court may i'm.
pose sentence of not less than two
nor more than twenty years.
Notice of motion for new trial was
given. but the courts rulings were so
generally favorable to the defense that
there are few grounds for appeal. The
worst expected by the defense was a
mistrial.
j. Henry Garrison killed j. Louis
Williamson last July, and the defense
was the "unwritten law" Miss Gar
rison, who was the only witness, tes-
titled that on the night of the TRACE
dy she and Williamson, to whom she
was engaged, were in the parlor OF
her home when ner fat,er appeared at
the window and shot her fance. Will
hanson died three hours later.

Poultry on the farm is much more

tney can have the run of the farm In
the summer and can forage for their
living and viii lay we'll with a small
amount OF care. They can obtain
plenty of green food. and this to-
gether with plenty of bugs and worms
they find, provides a full ration. The
grain does not cost much, because as
a rule it is waste from other stock.
Give them plenty of fresh water, keep
their houses clean, provide shelter,
keep the house free from vermin.
With all of the above directions IN
