Since he has been solicitor he has
made a Statewide reputation for
himself by the very able manner in
which he has represented the State in
the cases that came up for trial. Sev-
eral have been causes of unusual i'm
portance, in which public interest all
over South Carolina was intensely
aroused. A few of the successful leg
al battles in which he has represented
the State have been the cases Of
George Hasty, convicted of murder at
Gaffney for shooting two showmen;
Abbott Dawson and Milan Bennett !;
the James Gallman case at Union, IN

cution in the W. T. Jones case just
concluded at Union, when the de-
fendant, white MAJ Of wealth, was
convicted of the murder Of his wife.
That Judge Sease will make an hon
est, impartial and thoroughly COM
petent presiding officer goes without
saying.

CHARITY BALL
NETTED THOUSANDS
Annual Affair in Chicago Last Night
Was Success in Every
May.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.--The generous
unselfish effort of Chicago's society
women extending over a period OF
many weeks bore fruit last night in
the most brilliant charity ball which
Chicago has ever seen. 1t was har-
monious and beautiful picture set in
a rich and ornate frame, and those
who gathered at the Auditorium thea
tire, whether they sat in the boxes or
occupied chairs in the balcony, were
rewarded by an evening that gladden.
ed the eye and expanded the heart.
Citizens of Chicago had responded
nobly to the call Of charity and poured
out their largess without stint.
Financially the ball was crafty
ing success. 1t was estimated that
the net proceeds would reach about
$4,000, $4,000 in excess of the charity
ball of 1906.
This sum will be divided equally
among the seven charities which are
| to benefit and will mean handsome
| Christmas gift for the wards, little
and big, which the institutions harbor.
The total receipts reached $4,000, and
the disbursements, SO far as could be
4 determined, will amount to $1,000.
1 This leaves net receipts of s25,100,
but small revenue derived from 9th
4 er sources will bring the amount close
I to $4,000.

the tug Jimmie which left Sabine,
Dec. 4 for Galveston, with six men
on board The wreckage looked as
though the tug had been burned.
Among the debris was an oil barrel
similar to the storage tanks carried
on the Jimmie, but there was no
name seen on any piece of wreckage.
Crabs and fish had SO mutilated the
bodies so that they weer almost
recognizable All efforts to trace the
recognizable. All efforts to rtace the
lost tug have have been unavailing
and the theory that a boiler explo-
sion on the tug was followed by fire,
lis accepted by the owners. The tug

officials on board is on its way to the

thing of the killing of Mrs. Lille
Osburn, who was murdered and rob-
bed in the basement of her home at
1875 Laclede avenue, Tuesday even
ing. Not only does Gibbons answer
the general description of the negro
whom Mrs. Osburn is declared to have
engaged to care for the furnace M on
day, but he is known to have been in
the neighborhood about the time Mrs.
Osburn's unconscious body was found
with skull fractured and disarranged
clothing, the police say. Special Of
ficer Logan, who arrested him at the
home of his brother-in-law, Griffin
Henderson, 1905 Morgan street, said
Gibbons admitted to him he was near
the Osburn home about the time of
the murder, but denied he entered the
house. He told conflicting stories
when questioned by Assistant Chief
Gillaspy last night, which increased
the suspicion already cast upon him.
