Child Delivered to Father.

Sometime ago Levi Troutman and
his wife had a disagreement and de-
cided to separate. There was one
child, Clarence Lee Troutman, little
boy about two years old ;. and when
they separated the wife took the child
with her. Mr.. Troutman took out d
writ Of habeas corpus for the return
Of the child and the hearing was De-
fore Chief Justice Pope, who signed
an order that the father was the pro-
per custodian for the child.
Last week Sheriff Buford went t.
Spartanburg and brought with hill
the mother and the child and deliver
ed the child to its father.
Sheriff Buford says that he has
had many experiences during his term
of office but this incident touched him
moe than anything ever has, as the
child was delivered to his father he
kept crying for his mother and want
ed his mother, but the law had decreed
that the mother was not the proper
custodian for the child and, there
fore, the sheriff had to carry out the
mandate of the law. The mother it
IS understood has returned to Spar
tanburg.

Sunday morning. There we're 266

CAUGHT ROBBING STORES.
VIII Haigler Tells On His Pal
Jump From Third Story Win
dow and Escape.

Mr. J. L. Burns, a merchant i'll low
er Main street, has been missing some
pocket knives from his store for
some time. He suspected that some
one was either entering tie stole at
ter he had closed or tnat they W" re
stolen through the day but he ra!ler
thought that the store was being en-
tered at night. On Saturday nig!lS ne
employed Mr. |. U. burton, formerly
Of the Newberry police force, to
watch the store during the night. Po-
liceman E. n. Austin was with Mr..
Burton a portion Of the time and at
quarter past twelve o'clock they
saw a negro boy go to the back door
of the store, door which is not Of
ten used, and prize it open and enter.
They Immediately followed him into
the store and found Will Halgler, Jr.,
a negro boy twelve OF fourteen years
old, to be the person who entered. lie
was arrested and he told the officers
that another negro had sent him into
the store and that they would find
this negro in hiding under the cotton
platform. Policeman Austin remain
ed to watch the platform while Mr..
Burton carried Haigler to the police
station. On the way to the station
Haigler told Mr.. Burton that another
negro Was at this same time in Mr..
J. w. Whites store. Mr.. Burton re-
turned with Haigler and let him
climb a tiee near the store OF MIR.
White and he entered through a WIN
dow. Policeman Austin remained on
guard at the platform.
There was another negro in MI.
Whites store but instead of Haigler
returning with him to Mr.. Burton
both he and Haigler jumped from the
third story window Of Mr.. Whites
store to thereof Of his dwelling house
and ran for their liberty.
In the meantime Mr.. Burton had
aroused AIr. White and they fired at
ter the two negroes but failed to
bring them to a stop. They both
made good their escape.
Policeman Austin, however, captur-
ed Haieler Sunday afternoon at the
home Of his parents, and he is now in
jail on the charge Of house breaking
and larceny awaiting trial at the ses-
sions court. He was very much bruls-
ed up on account Of jumping from the
window and can scarcely walk. The
other negro has not been arrested
though Policeman Austin has his
name snd has a warrant sworn out Tor
him and expects to capture him soon.
Mr.. White has missed several pls-
tolls from his store during the past
few weeks and it is probable that
these boys have been committing
these robberies for sometime taking
only small articles.

THE HUNTER CASE.
Supreme Courts Aflrms Lower Court
Case May Go to United States
Supreme Court.

! 1t is probable that there will be
some action within the neNt few days
looking towards taking the case Of
the State V. G. Wash Hunter, convict
! ed Of manslaughter, to the supreme
court Of the United States. Hunter,
who is under sentence Of eight years,
was convicted in February, 1905, and
he appealed to the supreme court Of
this State. During the past several
days the supreme court has rendered
an opinion affirming the judgment Of
the lower court. Unless the remittitur
should be stayed pending some other
steps in the case, Hunter would begin
the service Of his sentence on Satur-
day.
The Hunter case has been hotly
contested and has created a great deal
of interest throughout the State. Hun
ter was clarged with murder in the
killing OF Ebert f. Copeland, during
poker game in the store Of r. Lee
Hunter, a brother Of G.. Wash Huh
ter, near Goldville, in the lower pant
of Laurens county. Hunter was
tried first before Judge James AID
rich, at Laurens, in September, 1906,
and was convicted Of manSlaughter.
Judee Aldrich set aside this verdict
on account of irregularities in the
management Of the jury while it had
the case under consideration. Du4ins
this same term Of court Hunter was
again tried before Judge Aldrich, and
the jury failed to agree and mistriaI
was ordered. Again in may, 1907,
before Judge Watts, and in Scptem-
ber, 1907, before Judge Gary, the
case resulted in mistrials. Followin !
the trial before Judge Gary the State
moved for change Of venue, which
Was granted, the case being transfer
red to Greenwood county, where Hun
ter was tried before Judge Gage, i'll
February, 1908, and convicted Of
manslaughter, Judge Gage sentencing
the defendant to serve eight years III
hard labor.
The appeal to the supreme court
was on a number Of grounds, includ-
ing the question Of jurisdiction, and
exceptions in regard to the admission
and exclusion of evidence, and the
Judges charge. All Of the exccp
tions were overruled by the supreme
court.
In order to take case Of this kind
Into the Federal supreme court, it is
necessary ito show that Federal ques-
tions are involved. The appeal in the
Hunter case contained a number OF
exceptions raising constitutional ques-
tions, and it is presumed that if a
writ of error is applied for to 60 to
the Federal supreme court, it will be
on the ground that the defendant has
the right to have these constitutional
questions reviewed by the Federal
court.

Lutheran Church Of the Redeemer.

(Rev. Edward Fulenwlder, Pastor:)
The Church Of the Redeemer had
an inspiring day Sunday. At the
morning service the audience filled
the auditorium and most Of the Sun
day school room. The pastor preached
on "The Greatest Battle in the
World.'. basing his sermon on the
temptation Of Jesus. The music at
this service Was heard with much
pleasure. The choir sang a beautiful
anthem. and Mr.. Voigt Of the Cable
Piano Company delighted the entire
audience with his masterful singing.
Those were fortunate who heard him.
At the evening service large con-
eregation filled the auditorium. The
pastor preached a sermon to women.
Text: Ezekiel 18Th. Gas is the
mother. 50 is her daughter. y The
lessons we're drawn from the life of
Hannah portrayed in I Sam. l. He
showed that the sum and substance Hf
her beautiful. godlv. and Influential
life were found in four sentences.
l. She loved her husband.
,. She loved her home.
3. She loved and worshipped God.
!. She was a woman Of PRAYER.
The pastor laid special stress on
the fact that the trainin@ Of the chill
dren is largely in the hands Of the
mothers Of today. and yet there are
-, ,:!:.nv things to take them away
from their homes and children. One
of the saddest things confronting the
people Of the South today IS he tact

Small Criminal Docket-Judge
Prince to Preside.

The court Of general sessions will
convene in Newberry on Monday,
March 18th, with Judge George E.

about cleared the docket.

TAG TAX TO REMAIN.
Committee Decides That Clemson
Needs Fund Derived From Fer
tilizer Tax.

Anderson, March 2.-The commit
tee appointed at the recent meeting Of
the State Farmers Union held in Co.
lumbia to visit Clemson college and
inquire into conditions there and
make report as to whether the fer
tilizer tag tax should be reduced, as
provided in the legislature by Rep
resentative Johua W. Ashley, of An
derson county, but held up until the
next session, has formulated its re-
port, recommending that the tax re-
mains as at present-25 cents on the
ton. This report is now in the hands
of Mr.. T. T. Wakefield, Of Anderson,
chairman of the committee, and will
be laid before the State meeting Of
the farmers in July. The other men,
bers of the committee were: A. D.
Hudson, Newberry; T. H. Foster
Greenville; DR.. Clayton, Richland; J.
B. Douthit, Anderson; Young Dun
can, Florence. and Mr.. Carpenter, Or
angeburg. The last two named were
unable to attend and failed to make
the trip to Clemson. The money deriv-
I'd from the tax goes toward the
maintenance Of Clemson college, and
after visiting the college and becom-
ing acquainted with conditions there,
the members Of the committee decid-
ed that it would be unwise to reduce.
the tax. The farmers are willing to
paw 25 cents per ton on fertilizers,
realizing that it will come back in the
way Of education for their sons.
