MORNING SESSION.
Evidence in RebuttaI is Continued BY
The state.

Owing to the fact that the train
was a little late this morning Court
did not meet until about half hour
after the usual time, Judge Hart rap
ping for order at 10:40. The jury
was brought in at once.
DR.. Frank Glenn of Nashville was
called by the State for cross-examina-
ton, but Judge Anderson insisted
that the State get in all of it's rebuff
tai evidence before it examine these
experts. Judge Hart said he knew
of no reason why these experts
should not be examined now and that
it Alld be permitted.
Tate Jenkins.
While waiting for the physicians
Tate Jenkins was called to the stand
Mr.. jenkins testified that he lives at
Mt. Pleasant; has been a druggist
there eight years. He knows Katie
May and Harry Cranberry. While
Mrs. CRANBERRY was living at Mrs.
Longs, and before the separation
from Harry, she bought syrup of ipe-
cac for the baby. The amount was
10c or 15c and was, charged to Mrs.
CRANBERRY. Defendant came to his
store a day after the separation and
asked II his wife owed witness any
thing and he answered yes, and then
defendant said he would not pay the
account and he never has. There
was nothing in the demeanor of the
defendant to lead witness to think his
mind was affected. Witness wife is a
cousin of deceased and third or fourth
cousin of defendant.
Or. Glenn Cross-Examined.
DR.. Frank Glenn was called to the |
stand, Witness was examined by At
Garner. He was not

DEMOCRATS IN
OLD LOVE FEAST
BRYAN AND JOHNSON EXCHANGE
COMPLIMENTS BEFORE THE
STATE COMMITTEE.
FORMER MAKES HAPPY SPEECH
Tells Them That He Is Willing To Be
The Second Choice in
Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug, Obscure
in the knowledge that Gov. John A.
Johnson, of Minnesota, his leading
roval for the nomination before the
Denver Convention, will Loyalty sup
port him in the coming campaign in
the Northwest, William ]. Bryan,
Democratic candidate for President,
left tonight for Fargo, N. D., where he
will speak tomorrow.
This was Johnson-Bryan Day in
Minnesota's capital Mr.. Bryan said
so himself. Addressing the members
of the State Central Committee this
afternoon, Mr.. Bryan said:
Il know l am not the first choice of
of the Democrats in this State, but it
is good to be even second choice in a
State where Gov. John A. Johnson is
first. l am well satisfied to have the
programme Johnson and Bryan in
Minnesota. The news you bring me
that this will be Democratic year In
this State is very pleasing"
The meeting of the State Central
Committee was real love feast, in
which Mr.. Bryan and Gov. Johnson
showered compliments and praise up
on each other. Previous to the gath
ering of the committee, Messrs. Bry-
and and Johnson held conferences re
garding the campaign, not only in
regard to Minnesota, but the other
States. They discussed
and the question of
speakers, and these will be provided
by the National Committee. Gov.
Johnson pledged his active support of
the National ticket, and will make
speeches between now and
Nov. /.
No sooner had the Presidential can
didate stepped from the train this
morning than he was taken in charge
by Gov. Johnson, National Committee
man F. B. Lynch, State Chairman
Day, Mayor Lawler and others high
in the councils of the party. The
accorded Mr.. Bryan at the
station was most cordial.

Evidence in rebuttal for the State
was heard this morning in the Gran
berry murder trial and there was ev-
cry indication at the time that court
adjourned for the afternoon session
that the State would complete it's evil
dence during the day. If this is the
case the argument will probably be-
gin tomorrow morning or at the after
noon session at the latest.
The two alienists who were exam
ined for the defense, Drs. Frank
Glenn and Halle Padgett, of
Nashville, were cross-examined
by the State, but no new or ma
terial facts were adduced in the cross
examination, the alienists rigidly adj
herring to their former opinion that
Granbery's act was the result of a
deranged condition of the mind, or
the insanity of impulse as one of them
expressed 1t.
Further contradictory evidence of
the defendant was offered by Mrs.
Charles A. Forgey, of Columbia 1t
was at Mrs. Forgey's home that Mrs.
CRANBERRY spent some time after her
return from st. Louis last fall. Mrs.
Forgey testified that when Mrs. Gran
berry, the wife of defendant, came to
her home that she and the little child
were practically without clothes; that
all the money she had was $40 given
her by her father, and that her condi-
ton was pitiable.
Continuing Mrs. Forgey described
the condition of Mrs. CRANBERRY during
this period as being utterly miserable;
that she was very much depressed
and unhappy and begged piteously all
the time to be allowed to go back to
her father at Centreville. This all
occurred before the Granberys went
to Mt. Pleasant to live at the home
of the deceased.

lNTERURBAN TO Be
RUNNING Soon
EXPECTED THAT CARS WILL BE
IN OPERATION WITHIN
SIXTY DAYS.
WORK PROGRESSING R PIDLy
Little More Than a Mile of The
Line Remains To Be
Graded.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. at is
expected that within the next sixty
days electric interurban cars will be
running from Nashville to Franklin
over the tracks of the Nashville Inter
urban railway. Rhe roadbed is com
pleted all the way from Franklin to a
point just beyond the city on the
Franklin pike, near the Tennessee
Central belt line. The ties, steel
poles, rolling stock and ali other
equipment have been contracted for
and the delivery will start as soon as
the connection with the Tennessee
Central belt line is made. The piers
for the bridges have been finished
and the bridges have been construct
ed and will be put in place in short
time. In short, all the prospects
point to the opening of the road in
two months.
The work of preparing the roadbed
for the laying of the ties and rails
takes more time than any other part
of the construction work, of course,
and now that this is nearly finished
the remainder of the work can be
pushed to an early completion. The
grading gangs are at work in plain
sight of the city, and the laying of
the Ties and steel will be begun in
two weeks.
The material for the laying of the
track will be delivered over the Ten
nessee Central belt line, thus saving
the hauling of two hundred car loads
of supplies in wagons. The Interur-
ban line had contract with the Illi-
nois Central to make the connection
at the junction and deliver the ma
terial, but the withdrawal of that road
yitiated the contract and it became
necessary to make new one with the
Tennessee Central. This has caused
a delay of about three weeks, but
within two weeks the connection will
be made and the steel, poles, ties,
ETC., will begin to arrive.
The work of lying the track will
commence at this point, and as the
gang progresses it will leave behind
it finished job-rails down, poles
set and wires strung. In this way the
road cah haul it's own sup
plies to the scene of operations, and
the track behind the construction
gang will be used as the method of
the material needed.
The bridges, large and small, have
all been built, and as the track gang
reaches the places where they are to
be located they will be swung in
place. The piers have been COM
pleted and are splendid pieces of con-
crete masonry. The largest bridge or,
he line will be the one over the Har-
pet river near Franklin.

FAR NORTHWEST
PEOPLE OF NORTH DAKOTA ARE
TOLD OF THE ISSUES OF.
THE CAMPAIGN.
MAKES APPEAL TO FARMERS
DwelIs at Length on Tariff Question
And Fires Hot Shot at
c. o. p.

FARGO n. d., Sept. William j.
Bryan today continued his campaign
in the Northwest. Upon his arrival
here early this morning he was met
by Gov. John Burke State Chairman
J. L. Cashel, National Committeeman
Frank Collins, j. B. Eaton, and many
other prominent Democrats, and con-
Quoted to the Hotel MetropoIe, where.
before partaking of breakfast, he
shook hands with the crowd that filed
into the lobby At the station several
hundred persons assembled and
cheered the Presidential candidate as
he alighted from the train. A street
demonstration was the feature of his
visit, the people cheering, clapping
hands and waving handkerchiefs
After breakfast Mr.. Bryan proceed
ed to the Fair Grounds and there held
reception preliminary to a speech.
AT noon he was rendered a banquet.
Prairie chickens constituted one of the
main dishes.
Mr.. Bryan gave to his speech an
agricultural color, owing to the fact
that he was in a farming country.
The Illustrations which he used were
gathered from the farm, and the is
sues presented were those that APP.
pealed especially to the farmer. He
dwelt on the subjects covered by his
notification speech, and pointed out,
as he did then, the things which he
said have operated to take the Gov
eminent out of the hands of the peo-
pie, and named the remedies which
the Democrats propose, such as pub
licity of campaign contributions be-
fore election, the election of Senators
by direct vote of the people, and
change in the rules of the House Of
Representatives
He also spoke at length on the tariff
question, accentuating the word "un-
equivocally,' which, he said. appears
in the promise of the Republican
platform repres entative relative to the
calling of an extra session of Con-
gress He said:
Why do they use the word UNI
equivocally?' Why dc they try to
this promise from the UNI
kept promises of the past? If you
want to find out the real meaning OF
the word unequivocally,' call at a
bank and ask for loan, and when the
gives you a blank note to fill
1ut, take your pen and write in the
word unequiyocally' before the prom
Sc to pay and the bank officials will
ask you to get another surety That
word will arouse suspicion and it's
presence in the Republican platform
s confession that the party is under
suspicion and recognizes that it's
are below par"
Mr.. Bryan discussed the free Ium.
'er plank of the Democratic platform
md quoted one of the lumbermen an
aging before a Congressional COM
nittee that duty of 81 per 1000 feet
IN lumber meant 100000 to the
umbermen assembled in the COM
nittee room and asking for the re-
ention of the tariff on lumber. He
Elaborated the Democratic remedies
or the trusts, and gave considerable
ttention to the guaranty of bank de.
osits. The response to this part OF
is argument was very enthusiastic.

A PARTIAL REVIEW OF
, LEGISLATURES DOINGS.
BOTH HOUSES ADJOURN TILL MARCH
,3EHEK they WILL ELECT SUCCESSOR
.To.sEEiIoR. LATIHER.

TIE CAPITOL, COLUMBIA,
February 22:-Tbis day is Wash
ington's..birthday, but our law
makers did not observe it as a
holiday. On the contrary it
was one of the. busiest days of
the entire session. Y A resolution
introduced in the House pro
viding that the memory of "The
Father of HIS Country" be
honored by reading Washing.
toms farewell address was voted
down without ceremony and the
proposition spoken of as "fool'
ishness.
Tonight both houses adjourn
ed to March 3, at 8 p m, when
we will meet to elect a United
States senator to succeed the
Hon A G Latimer, who died last
Thursday in Washington and
was buried on Friday at his
home town, Belton. He had had
+sgrip several times this winter
and was sent to a hospital. Of
course the surgeons operated on
him. Nowadays, itseems. the
mania for using the knife is
worldwide and its use is as
deadly as-as-as-dsah itself.
Quite a number of men have
been suggested for this unex-
pired term and it may require
several days to elect Mr. Lati-
mer's successor. This fact is
causing much uneasiness among
these members of the assembly,
who feel that they have already
spent all the time they can
spare in Columbia.
During the adjourned session
an insurance commissioner will
also be chosen, this Office hav.
ing been created in the insur-
ance bill just passed.
The lien law remains untouch-
ed, the efforts to repeal having
been defeated by those who re-
fused to limit chattel mortgages
to crops up and growing. There
was no radical railroad legis-
lation. The reduction of pas
senger rates was defeated in the
senate. The Carey -Cothran dis
pensary act was not changed,
and the efforts to get the ques-
ton of prohibition into an elec.
tion were voted down.
A contract act was passed
which, in the opinion of the law.
yers of the assembly is the very
best measure that can be framed
under the State and Federal
constitutions and laws. The
act is a lengthy one and con-
tains a good deal of legal
phraseology that those not
trained in the law would find
somewhat difficult to fully com.
prehend. Hardly an intelligent
idea of the matter could be Civ
en- in the limits of this letter.
The entire act should carefully
read and closely studied by all
interested and a very large part
of our entire citizenship is seri-
ously interested. Hence, for fear
of misleading anyone by giving
a summary of the act, we shall
refrain from attempting that.
Two new circuits, known as
the 18th and 18th circuits, we're
created. Hon S W G Shipp of
Florence was elected Judge of
the 18th, which is composed of
FlNrence, Marion, Horny and
Georgetown counties. This ele-
vation of Mr. Shipp is very
gratifying to his friends, of
whom he has many inWilliams-
burg county. There is every
confidence that he will make a
learned, conscientious and hon
ect iudge and an ornament to

solicitor, Hon w II Wells, who
is a citizen of Florence, and will
on May 1st become solicitor OF
the 18th circuit. This renders
it necessary for Gov Ansel to
appoint solicitor Of our cir
cult. Lieut-Gov Mcleod, Hons
Frank Kelley of Bishopville
and ] H Clifton of Sumter and
JR Mclaughlin, Esq, also of
Bishopville, are spoken of for
the place. Philip Stoll, Esq,
is also an applicant and it ap-
pears that he has some strong
backing. He is making an active
campaign and has received a
good deal of encouragement.
We understand that the Kings
tree bar has endorsed Mr. Stoll
and he has been recommended
by several members of the gen.
eral assembly and also by men
of influence outside of that
body.
The courts of our county have
been separated and after the
next summers term the general
sessions and common pleas will
not be held together, but some
weeks will intervene between
each term of these courts excep:
the summer term. Under this
arrangement there will be no
reason why civil cases cannot
be tried and disposed of without
delay.
The government act for Will
liamsburg accompanies this
article. The copy sent contains
some clerical errors which we're
corrected by amendments and
the corrected act will be printed
soon. No doubt it would be aps
preciated if the entire act is
published in The RECORD, as ali
our people are interested in this
matter. It is not claimed that
the act is perfect, and no doubt
amendments will be necessary
all along as the practical work
ings of this law will point out
the particulars in which it can
be improved. 1t does not 60 in.
to effect until January l, 1909,
and it is believed and sincerely
hoped that this law will be of
benefit to our county.
The salaries of our county
auditor and treasurer have been
raised to $4,000 each from
July /, 1908. The county pays
only one-third of these salaries
and as the auditor has hereto
fore been paid 500 in addition
to hissalary, through the coun-
ty supply bill, the actual in.
crease imposed upon the county
by the raise is only $4,000.
Provision has been made for
continuing the reindexing of the
records of fhe clerks Office and
also for putting the probate
judges Office in proper shape.
