TRIAL IN LAURENS.
: w. G, Pinson to be Arraigned on
Charge Of Killing His Friend,
Thornwell Boyce.

Laurens, Feb. 19.-ln the court OF
general sessions which convenes here
on the second Monday in March will
|be tried case which will doubtless
prove one of the most sensational ever
heard in Laurens. Young Wade
Cothran Pinson Will be arraigned for
the killing of his friend, Thornwell
Boyce, on the morning Of November
7 Of last year while the two. together
with Miss Mary Brown, were on the
way home from a party in the Cross
He'll neighborhood Of the county.
Both young men were citizens OF
Cross Hill and we're the best of
friends; both are of excellent families
with wide connections. Miss Brown
is likewise of a good family. and
stands prominently in the social af-
fairs of the community. She was the
only eyewitness to the killing and
her testimony will largely affect the
verdict.
It is recalled that the three young
people we're en- route home from a
party, in buggy, when Boyce was
shot by Pinson, who does not deny
the act but claims an accident. Boyce
was sitting on Pinson's lap, who got
out his pistol to "shoot and scare
Miss Brown as told by Prisons
father immediately after rihe shoot
ing, to this correspondent. However,
at the eoroner's inquest Miss Brown
testified that Pinson was under the
influence Of whiskey and was hehav-
ing in a rude manner all the journey
home; and that he pulled out his pis-
tol and said, 81 am going to shoot
like hell.''
The law firm Of Cannon & Black
we'll has been retained to defend Pin
son, while Attorney W. R. Richey, Sr.,
will assist Solicitor Cooper in the
prosecution. Judge Geo. E. Prince,
Of Anderson will be the presiding
Judge at the trial.

INJUSTICE TO MR.. WHALEY?
Senator Otts's Personal Privilege
Statement Questioned.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia. February 20.-Senator
Sinkler arcSe to a question cf per
sonal privilege in the senate today
and stated that he would like to make
a statement in regard to Se"ator
Otis as to Speaker Whaley, of the
tie evening before. Senator SinE!cr
referred 10 the remarks Of Senator
Otss as to Speaker Whaley, Of tile
hoE:a. Senator Otis. who furnished
tie News and Courier senator repor-
ter with a copy Of his remarks III his
own handwriting, said about Speak
er Nhaley: II rave just been in
formed by the speaker of the house
that T am responsible for this gener-
al assembly not adjourning, sine die.
on tomorrow. because I, this morn
ing refused to accede to the PROPOSE
ton to take up the rate bill and dis
russ it for two hours and then vote.
I need not tell this senate that such
is untrue.' This statement and the
remainder of Senator Otts's remarks
appeared in the News and Courier to-
day.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-02-23

Senator Sinkler stated that this
was doing Mr.. ,Whaley all injustice.
The position Of Mr.. Wlhaley in the
matter, as pointed out by Nh. Sink
ler, was that the speaker Of the house
had merely spoken to Mr. Otis in the
interests Of the facilitation Of busi-
ness, having told Mr.. Otis, in conver-
sation, that it might be best to ad-
journ Saturday evening and save the
State of South Carolina the expense
Of the prolonged session.
Senator Sinkler also stated THAT
Speaker Whaley made no charge
against Senator Otis or in any way
desired to coerce him, and the news
paper exploitation resulting there
from was not desirable. It should be
stated in this connection that Mr..
Otts'S personal privilege remarks
were reduced to writing by himself
and furnished to the News and Cour-
ler senate reporter.
This morning Senator Otis stated
on the floor of the senate that Ihe
would like in justice to himself and
the speaker of the house "to call at
tention to an error in the published
statements as to the question of per-
sonal privilege printed in many pa
pers.'
Senator Otis stated: II have been
informed by the speaker that I am
charged with the failure to adjourn,
etc. (but in justice to the reporters
I will say that I COX ed" the copy
as published, and it was my error in
not correcting the copy,) but [ am
sure that the senate will recall that
| said I had been Informed by the
speaker and not that I was charged
by the speaker
Mr.. Otis also stated, after Senator
Sinkler's remarks. that he did not
consider the matter purely personal
as he understood that al attempt had
been made to hold him responsible
for the failure to adjourn, and that
II am sure is a question Of public,
and not private Importance. -

6 pears of age. He is the hunter type,
II hands high and 1880 pounds IN

law IS ever enacted.
Taxation and Compulsory Education.

Two items Of Importance in legls-
lation remain untouched and will not
be acted upon at this session-taxa-
ton and compulsory education. There
have been changes in the school law
and efforts made to improve the
school conditions, but nothing further
has been done towards securing the
attendance Of the youth Of the State,
and the tax laws and particularly the
matter Of assessments remain in the
present unsatisfactory condition, and
what is worse will continue in that
condition for some time.
There was a suggestion Of COM
mission to study and suggest improve
ments in the matter Of taxation, but
the general assembly declined the
suggestion. In fact this was pretty
bad year for commissions, and the on
ly commission suggestion that man
aged to run the gauntlet and find its
way to the permanent records was
the commission to investigate The
Hospital for the Insane, and that
would hardly have been enacted had
the board Of regents and officials OF
the institution not asked for the in
quiry.
The suggestion of a building com
MISSION. to see what ought to be dons
to get more and needed room at the
State house, was killed by the house
The suggestion Of a commission to
look into the marsh land situation Of
the low country was deferred until
next session.
The suggestion of a commission to
look into the best manner of icon
serving the timber lands Of the
State' failed.
The suggestion Of a commission or
committee to investigate the county
dispensaries was killed in the senate,
and such was the fate all along the
line.
In fact, the commission idea was
50 hard raped that those who really
thought there ought to be some
changes in the insurance laws sug-
gested a special committee to work
on these lines, but provided that no
pay was to follow, and the railroad
commission was asked to look into
the matter of rates, instead of having
4 legislative commission do so.

Appropriation Bill.

The chief items Of difference be-
tween the house and senate on the ap-
preparation bill, presuming that the
finance committee report will be
adopted, as is always the case, is that
the senate has cut out the $4,000 tor
free books for school children. The
senate has inserted the $4,000 for
the maintenance and support of the
Confederate Home, which the house
cut out and added to the general pen
sion fund. The senate has added $l2,-
$40 for Winthrop college-S22,3O8 tor
additional teachers oecasioned by the
enlargement Of the institution; $3,-
232 for laundry; $4,000 for addition
to barn: $500 for additional COWS,
and $4,000 for additions and removal
ton Of the heating plant.
When these items are adopted III
the senate the revising between the
house and senate will Oe done.
An interesting item IN the report
Of the finance committee is the pro-
vision of $1,000 as pay for Chief JUS
tice Y. J. Pope as a lecturer at tie
University of South Carolina in the
law department Of the institution.
The first that the University authorl-
ties knew Of this gracious consldera-
ton for the chief Justice was when
the report Of the finance committee
was published. in the Journal.

The House Disappointed.

So far as the house is concerned,
whether there was falibusterlng IN
that branch or not, the members had
finished their work in ample time,
and the adoption of the resolution OF
Mr.. Fraser on Thursday that all Sec
ond reading bills be continued until
next session is the strongest lndlca-
ton that the house really and truly
expected that the senate would JOIN
hands and fix the adjournment Tor
Saturday. Up to the very last the
house thought the senate was olu1hng,
but when Senator Otis insisted on his
objection to the consideration Of the
supply bill and invoked the orthodox
rules Of the senate by which that Dill
could not be considered when called
up, the tired and weary and home
loving members Of lie house for the
first time realized that the jig Was
no, and that they1could not get nome,
to remain there, on Saturday. Still
they hoped that something could be
done to adjourn Saturday. Mr. Ruck-
er insisted and kept on insisting that
the general appropriation and supply
bills had gotten over to the senate
sooner than they had in years, and
that if the adjournment was not had
ON the fortieth day the fault rested
with the senate and not With the
house. That was not questioned, but
the rmdertone Was that the prohlbl-
tionists, led by Mr.. Otis, on the SEN
ate side, were going to force vote
on Statewide prohibition this ses-
sion. The report was that some sort
Of vote had to be had, and then mem
bers realized for how many days they
had held the matter in the house ana
how easily the senate could hold the
house until it was ready to say that
ohey would quit.
Early in the session the senate was
far ahead of the house, but III the lat
ter part Of the session the talking was
done over on the senate side. lhe
lien law and the rate bill We're dis
cussed as long Us any proposition on
the house side, in fact the NJ. l..
Smith rate bill did not consume ten
,n;ontes Of the house time and the
lien law discussion Was brief.
"If we have done nothing else at
this session, we have killed the lien
law. and that is plenty, is the way
in which one member OF the house
looked at the situation. That much
has been done. The general lien law
has been killed, effective january l.
1910. The repeal Of the lien law IS 4
testimonial to the persistency OF MI.
John G. Rrichards, Of the kershaw
DELEGATION. Next session Mr.. Hydrlck
and Mr.. Richards will try their hand
at a. revision Of the chattel mortgage
law. It is claimed that the mere re-
peal Of the lien law does not accom-
phsh all that is desired, and that as
a companion Act the right to mort
gaze a crop will have to be amended
before tie full benefit Of tie changed
condition can be accomplished.
There are some who predict that
the demand will be so strong tAat fhe
len law will be reaffirmed before the
