HAY HAS NOT YET
GIVEN UP FIGHT
Says Supreme Court Has Not Made
Clear Point of Candidates Adver-
Using In Campaign.

OLYMPIA, March 4.-Declaring that
the supreme court has failed to make
definite whether or not the direct pri-
mary law dislualifies candidates for
office who advertise in newspapers, the
attorneys for Former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Charles E. Coon have asked for
rehearing of his suit to GUST M. +.
Hay from office. The petition sets
forth that the question of who is right
w lieutenant governorer is of minor
Importance, but that a final determina-
ton of the primary law is absolute
ly necessary to guide future candi-
dates.
While the supreme court in its first
decision found in favor of Mr.. Hay, the
Judges rendered various dissenting
opinions on the clause in the primary
law which disqualifies a candidate VINO
advertises in the press, and some of the
Judges declined to pass on it at all.
Mr.. Coon's attorneys ask rehearlng
in order that future candidates may
know where they stand on the question
of advertising.

FarnuIn Goes Free.

Columbia, Sept 25.-James S.
Farnum, charged with bribery in
connection with the dispensary graft,
walked from the Richland County
Court House this afternoon a free
man, the jury after six hours deliber-
alton, having returned a verdict OF
ttnot guilty" He is charged in sew
eral other indictments, but unless he
is tried along with the others on a
charge of conspiracy his case will not
come up at this term of court.
Thus has ended one of the most
brilliant legal combats in the history
of Jurisprudence in South Carolina.
OF significance is the effect also
that the State has not made good on
the first of the alleged dispensary
graft cases that was awaited with so
much interest. The jury took only
one ballot and stood at first IL for
acuuittal and one for conviction &C
cording to the statement of one Of
the jurors.
The losing of the first case will
not deter the State from pushing the
the charges against the others that
are indicted, according to an intima-
ton by Attorney General Lyon.
The next graft case begins Wednes-
day when former dispensary director
John Black will be tried for accept
ing bribe.

HELD FOR JONES DEATH.
Walter and W. w. Delong, Father
and Son, Charged With Murder.

Aiken, Sept. 22.-Coroner John
son returned last night from Bath,
where he held an inquest yesterday
afternoon over the body of Forrest
Jones, who was shot and killed there
by either Walter or w. w. Delong.
both of whom are in Jail, charged
jointly with the murder. The ver-
dict of the jury was that Jones came
to his death from wounds inflicted
by fence picket and pistol in the
hands of w. w. and Walter Delong,
father and son. The gist of the evil
dence follows:
w. w. Delong came to the home of
Mrs. Hutson, who conducted night
school, where Walter Delong was at
school. Before the elder Delong went
into Mrs. Illusions house he had
conversation with Jones, during
which he pulled out his pistol, saying
Look here" and walked into the
house, but did not seem to be mad.
This made Jones mad, and after De-
long went into the house he said he
would wait outside and whip him
when he came out. Frank Redd told
Delong from a window what Jones
said. and warned him that he would
have trouble with him, and told him
to go out the back gate. After
school Delong and his son went out
the back gate, when Jones came along
the side of the yard fence around the
house, and when they were walking
away threw brick at them, The
son warned Jones not to throw at his
father, at which Jones cursed him.
Delong turned, picked up a board
and struck Jones over the fence
on the head, and witnesses tes-
titled that the shot was fired
at almost the same time. Jones
stopped before being shot, as
if to get another rock, but no rock or
other weapon was seen after the
shooting. One witness testified the
flash came from the elder man, while
the circumstances seemed to point to
young Delong as doing the shooting,
though the elder says he did it, and
gave up to an officer, surrendering
the pistol, pair of knucks and a
large knife.
A conversation between other par
ties and Jones seemed to indicate,
that previous trouble came about
because Delong accused Jones OF
running his daughter, which Jones
denied.
Forrest Jones is brother of Paul
Jones, who was cut to death by an
other white man within 500 yards of
the same place just six weeks pre-.
vious to this affair. His slayer is
also in Jail.

Not Delivering.

Some of the people who sold cot
ton last summer for delivery this fall,
at prices ranging from 10 to II cents,
are not so anxious now to deliver it.
A number of merchants in Bamberg
were asked by planters to sell cotton
for future delivery, and now the mer-
chants are having some trouble to
get the cotton delivered on these con-
tracts. A few days ago merchant in
town bought bale of cotton from a
negro who had sold him some cot
ton during the summer for delivery
this fall, and the merchant suggested
that he had better let this bale go
on the contract. The negro's reply
was: "Boss, 1 clare I amt picked
that contract bale yet"
Another merchant bought some
cotton from farmer with whom he
had a contract, and the farmer want
ed the market price and the mer-
chant wanted it to go on the con-
tract. The buying was done at the
cotton platform, and when the farm
er went to the store to settle with the
book-keeper, he was paid at the rate
of II cents a pound, his contract
price. He had to accept the contract
price, but he told the book-keeper
that he still owed the merchant
three bales more on contract, but
he'd never get them. And so it goes.
It is evidently very hard matter to
enforce contracts when cotton is SELL
ing so much above the contract price.

HAND CUT IN GIN.
Young Bradley Smoak Badly Hurt at
Branchville.

Branchville, Sept 23.-Yesterday
about noon at the gin house Of Mr..
Andrew Smoak, who lives in the
country about eight miles from here,
Bradley Smoak, son Of Ben Smoak,
got his right hand caught in the
saws of the gin while the gin was
running and the hand and arm were
cut in terrible manner. It seems as
If the young man was taking the
notes out of the gins at the time that
his hand was caught and had it not
been for the fact that the steam en-
gine had been shut off and thereby
caused the gin to stop at the time,
the young man no doubt would have
been mangled to death. The father
happened to be near and immedi-
ately caught the boys arm and cord
ed it and kept the wound from bleed
ing profusely. Mr.. Smoak at once
telephoned to Branchville for DR.. J.
A. Parker, who hurried to Mr..
Smoak's and attended the wounded
boy. DR.. Parker does not think it
will be necessary to amputate the
young mans arm and thinks that
the wound will heal in the course of
time.

WYLIE TELLS OF GRAFT.
FORMER DISPENSARY DIRECTOR
SAYS HE MADE $4,000.
Made Full Confession on the Witness
Stand as to His Dealings
With Farnum.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 23.-Testify-
ing that he had, as member of the
State dispensary board, voted for
purchases from those houses which
offered and paid rebates, Joseph B.
Wylie, of Chester, former member of
the board, to-day made clean cut
confession, giving not only the details
of the transactions in which he re-
ceived commissions from Farnum,
now on trial, but also the whole
scheme of commissions which are
said to have been agreed on should
be paid on purchases by the board.
Mr.. Wylie stood grueling cross
examination at the hands of Col. P.
H. Nelson without flinching and with
out deviating in any way from the
story told in his direct testimony.
He declared that before his election
to the board in 1906, Farnum had ap-
preached him and said Wylie could
make a good deal on the side if elect
ed, and that Farnum had contributed
$500 to his campaign expenses.
He declared that there was later
made an arrangement between Far
mum and himself by which payments
were made through. drafts payable
to Henry Samuels, now mayor OF
Chester, who cashed the drafts and
turned the proceeds over to Wylie.
He would merely get Samuels to get
the money for him on an order and
he knew Samuels would get it.
Samuels himself represented liquor
houses in one way or another, so 1t
was said.
Mr.. Wylie said that in II months
service on the board he had made
over $4,000 in this way. When ne
went on the board he was worth
$4,000 to $4,000, he could not say
how much he is worth now, as he had
spent good deal of the money made
through the dispensary.
As to the motive for his confes-
sion, his attorney, Mr.. Paul Hemp
hill; of Chester, had assured him that
If he would tell the truth, he would
not be prosecuted, but he had not
been promised any immunity from
civil suit to recover the money for
the State. He had not. intended to
give back any of the rebates.
Mr.. Wylie said that Attorney Gen.
eral Lyon, during the last summer.
had come Chester and met him in
Mr.. Hemphill's Office and that be had
answered all questions asked by Mr..
Lyon and his statement was taken
down in writing.
This statement, Mr. Abney held in
hand during the cross-examination OF
the witness.

BOY BITTEN BY DOG.
Feared Animal Has Rabies-Head
Sent to DIR. Coward.


Orangeburg, Sept. 24.-The little
6-year-old boy of Mr.. J. B. Robinson,
a well known farmer who resides
near Jamison in this county, was bad
ly bitten on last Tuesday by pet
dog of the family. The animal was
a young dog and always appeared
playful and never fierce or snappy.
However, the little boy, with some
others, was playing last Tuesday in a
room in the home when the dog,
which had been lying quiet on the
floor, suddenly sprang to his feet,
biting the child on the upper lip.
The children all screamed and a
servant rushed in and grabbed the
dog, securely tying him. When Mr..
Robinson returned home from his
field he went up to the dog, and
though the animal seemed glad to
see him at first, he made a plunge at
Mr.. Robinson's leg as soon as he was
released from the chain and tried to
bite, but he succeeded only in get
ting his teeth through his masters
clothing.
A local doctor was consulted and
he advised Mr.. Robinson to have the
dog killed and send the head to DR..
Coward in Columbia. This was done
yesterday and the little boy was also
sent up for an examination by DR..
Coward.
Mr.. Robinson says that a strange
dog came to his place about three
weeks ago and had a fight with the
puppy that is now feared to be mad.
The strange dog was never seen
again.

TABLES TURNED IN COURT ROOM
Woman is Declared Guiltless and Her
Prosecutor is Arrested.

Anderson, Sept. 23.-Something Of
a stir was created in the Court Of
General Sessions here when Solicitor
P. A. Bonham asked the jury to re-
turn a verdict of not guilty In the
case of Fannie Massey and Drew
Hayes, charged with living together
unlawfully, and the prosecutor In the
case, w. L. Massey, was placed under
arrest by Sheriff w. B. King and con-
Quoted from the witness chair to the
Jail a prisoner. The warrant for
Massey's arrest was sent here from
Elberton, Ca, and charges him with
disposing of property under a mort
gage. All of the parties are white.
The woman acted as her own at
torney and put her husband through
a rigid cross-examination at the trial,
bringing out evidence tending to
show that Massey had brought an
other woman to their home in Geor-
gia, keeping her under the same roof
with his wife; that they quarrelled
over the matter, and Massey finally
brought his wife to this side of the
river and left her. Mrs. Massey de-
clares she applied to Hayes, who
lives in this county, and hired to him
as housekeeper, cook and washerwo-
man, because she had nowhere else
to go.
The sympathies of those in the
Court room were with the woman,
and the action of the solicitor in ask
ing for the verdict of not guilty, as
well as the placing of Massey under
arrest, seemed to meet with the ap-
proval Of all who had heard the case.
