Ship Subsidy Bill.

A determined effort was made in the
senate TO take a step looking toward
ship subsidy. The ocean mail subvention
bill was passed as an amendment to the
pOstOffice appropriation bill. 1t met with
opposition in the house and is a disputed
item in conference. Ii is intended to en-
courage the establishment of mail and
passenger steamship between the United
States ports TO ports in South America,
Philippine Island Japan, China and Aus
tralia. Another important piece Of legis-
latiOn in the postOffice bill is a provision
authorizing the postmaster general to
suppress periodicals which publish arti-
cles melting to anarchy, arson or murder.

Waterways Commission.

The question of conserving the national
resources was before the session prom
lnenIly for many weeks. An effort was
made IN both bodies to secure an appro-
prlauon for the creation of the Southern
Appalachian and White mountains for
est reserves, but it did not succeed. As
an alternative commission TO inVesti-
gate was authorized. The creation of
waterways fund" by making an appro-
prlation of S50OO0,OO0 was advocated and
rejected, because, among other reasons
or the condition of the treasury. As
substitute bill was prepared TO con
unue" the inland WATERWAYS commits
sion, which bill was amended to author
ize' the commissions. On this subject
there was great deal Of debate ii be-
ing contended that President Roosevelt
had no authority to appoint the commits
sion in the first place. Great interest at
taehed to this legislation because of the
converting by President Roosevelt of the
conference OF governors during the pres
ent month. AT this conference questions
connected with the conservation of ma
tional resources were brought conspicu-
ously before congress. The bill to per-
NIT the president TO appoint the inland
waterways commission was passed.

that under the severe strain Miss Gar
rison was not herself.
Judge Menminger stated that he ap-
preciated the situation and the act
would not be deemed contempt of
court.
On cross-examination by Mr..
Featherstone Miss Garrison said that
she knew by his general demeanor
that Mr.. Williamson had been drink
ing. She gave Mr.. Williamson's dy-
ing statement to her. It was this

Reexamined by Mr.. Nelson, Miss
Garrison said that after the shooting
Mr.. Williamson asked her to get his
suit cas'. She did so, ami lie got q
bottle Of whiskey out of it. Some OF
the whiskey had been taken from the
bottle.

first testifying that he was notified
Of the shooting and went to the Gar,

spying on his own daughter, to which
Garrison replied that he did not want
to give them warning, that if there
was anything wrong he wanted to
know it. Asked why he shot the de-
ceased, he said, "Because I thought
he was trying to take improper ad-
vantage Of my daughter.'
Counsel had defendant admit that
Williamson was not doing anything
at the time he was shot. On question
from counsel, Garrison stated as his
reason for bringing Williamson home
with him in a drunken condition that
he wanted to get him away from
where the neighbors would see him, as
there was already talk about the
young man being drunk.
A number Of witnesses testified
that Williamson was intoxicated on
the afternoon Of the 31st. None,
however, that he took a drink after
his arrival at Gray Court at o'clock
up to the time he was shot at about
II o'clock.
The defense in a nutshell was
around this point, that young Will
hanson was under the influence of
whsikey and acted in such a manner
to warrant the girls father in lefcnd-
ing her. The State had a number of
character witnesses here, among them
Mayor John T. Roddey Of Roch Hill,
to testify to the good character Of the
deceased, but because the defense did
not assail his general good character
that testimony was not taken.

Laurens, Oct. IL. Henry Garri-
son was tried today in the court of
general sessions for the killing Of J.
Louis Williamson.
All day was consumed in hearing
the testimony, the arguments Of coun-
sci and the judges charge. Messrs.
Richey and Featherstone addressed
the jury in behalf Of the defendant.
while Messrs. Cooper and Nelson
spoke for the State.
On the witness stand today. for
the first time, were declared the de-
tails Of the tragedy, which occurred
near Gray Court at about II o'clock
on the night of July 81, and in which
Mr.. Louis Williamson Of Bethesda,
York county, lost his life. Miss
Mary Garrison and her father were
the principal witnesses, Miss Garri-
son for the State and the defendant
for himself. Although summoned by
the State, Miss Ga11iSon's testimony
was decidedly in favor Of her father,
"a fact impossible to be concealed.
The prosecution sought to show
that Mr.. Williamson was not taking
advantage Of Miss Garrison; that his
conduct was but the legitimate cares
ses Of lover and a future husband.
The defense endeavored to show that
these acts were not within the
bounds permissible and that they
were committed against the will of
Miss Garrison, who protested against
them, and endeavored to free herself.
It was testified that Williamson had
been drinking, was intoxicated when
he arrived at Gray Court, but it was
not proved that he had had any
whiskey after his arrival and the
State contended that he had time TO

slaughter with a recommendation tt
the mercy Of the court" was the YER
dict written and handed in at u
O'Clock this morning by the jury in
the Carlson murder case> whereupor
Mr.. Featherstone at once gave notice
Of motion for a new trial, which
will doubtless be heard at some time
during the day. After styaing in the
jury room all night, at $50 this morn
ing the jury came out and announced
that they could not agree. Judge
Memminger admonished them to use
every effort to reach an agreement,
that the county was at great expense
in the trying of such cases, and that
jury had no right to try to shift
the responsibility Of a decision upon
another jury. He reeharged them on
the points of law involved and sent
them back to find a verdict.
At II o'clock they announced that
an agreement had been reached, and
the verdict Of guilty Of manslaugh-
ter with recommendation to the
mercy Of the court was read, by the
clerk.
It is understood that on the first
ballot last night that two Of the jur-
ors stood for acquittal, some for man
slaughter, and some for murder. This
morning, when sent back to the jury
room, the same two stood for &C.
quittal and the others for man.
slaughter; finally the verdict render
ed was reached and the jury had end
ed its work.
It is a matter worthy Of note that
Judge Memminger has the fewest
number Of mistrials to occur under
his presiding; he urges the necessity
Of jury reaching some kind of
agreement, in fact, he all but tells
them that they must agree. His
charge this morning was even strong
er than that of last night, and no
doubt the clearness and strength Of
it caused the verdict to be reached.

Republicans say that the peo-
pie are afraid of Bryan; that the
Democrats would have splen-
did chance to win by nominating
some other man. THERE'S not a
doubt but Republicans fear him,
but outside Of their party nc
trouble exists. They are afraid
of him, not.because of what he
is or what he contends, but they
know he iss in close touch with
the great common people; they
know he is the strongest man
that could be named and the one
that will make a great private
citizen out of Mr.. Taft. The
nomination Of Bryan is as Ger
tain as any future event, and his
election is only tinged with 9
small doubt.
