SPECIAL COURT
CLOSED THURSDAY
Acting Judge Marion COmplimcnted by
Members OF the Local Bar-GOOd
Work ACCOMPLISHED.


The special term of general sessions
court which convened October 10, was
/ adjourned Thursday, after session
of ten days. The criminal calendar
for the county was almost cleared,
there being only three cases continu-
ed One of these was that of the
State VS. Jock Day, white man of
Belfast. charged with murder, and the
trial of the case was postponed be-
cause Coleman L. Blease of Newberry,
attorney for the defendant. was en-
gagged in the Federal court at Green
vile during the week and could not
attend the Laurens court. The other
cases carried over are of minor i'm
portance.
When The Advertiser went to press
Tuesday evening, last, the trial of
James Elledge ct al charged with as
sault and battery, with intent to kill
had not been concluded. On WedneS-
day the first named defendant in this
case and William Caldwell were found
guilty of assault of high and aggra-
waited nature, and were given SEN
tence of So and 500, respectively.
which they paid. Other cases of more
or less Importance were heard before
final adjournment Thursday at noon
\ very pleasant incident in connec-
tion with bringing the court to close
was witnessed by the spectators. There
being no further business before the
court, Mr. w. r.. Richey, Sr address
ing the court and speaking for himself
and the Laurens bar, said he desired
to thank Special Judge Marion for
the manner in which he had dispatch
ed the business of the court, for his
fair and impartial rulings and uniform
courtesy shown throughout the ses-
impressed with his display of judicial
talent that he hoped to see him at no
distant day member of the judiciary
of South Carolina. The remarks of
Mr.. Richey were heartily seconded by
Solicitor r.. A. Cooper and other mem
bers of the local bar.
Judge Marion was much impressed
with these words of appreciation and
| expressed himself in terms of graft
fication, for it had been great pleas
ure to come in contact with the law
yers and officers of the Laurens bar
and court and they had shown him
every consideration and courtesy. He
thanked them for the honor thus paid
him, and also took occasion to pay a
handsome compliment to Clerk OF
Court John f. Bolt, saying that he was
a most efficient officer and had given
him invaluable assistance in conduct-
ing the sessions of the court, He
complimented the county also upon
having such an able clerk of court.
Judge Marion is young man of
very pleasing address and while here
made many friends outside the court

Personal LIBERTY.
Cut This Out And Paste In Your
Scrap BOon.


by William Jennings Bryan, the
greatest Democrat on earth.
Many well-meaning men have been
mised into believing that every at
tempt TO lessen the evils of intem-
perance is "fanatcai attack" on
personal liberty"
1t is time the phrase Personal Lib
erty'' were defined.
What is meant by Personal I.iber-
ty?" Does it mean that person has
right to drink in any quantity. at
any time. and in any place no matter
what injury he may intlict upon 9th
ers? If not, with whom rests the
right to fix limitations?"
a drunken man is menace to the
lives and prosperity of those about
him; have his neighbors no right to
protect themselves?
A drunkard robs his wife and chill
dren, and he may really make his
family and himself charge upon So
ciety; has society no right to protect
itself?
The saloon is next of kin to the
brothel and the gambling hell, it is
a rendezvous for the criminal element
and the willing tools of the corrupt
politician; has not the body polite
right to protect itself from the de-
mOraliZation which the saloon works?

CRIPPEN CONVICTED.
Famous Case Ended Prisoner SEN
fenced to bc Hanged.

London, Oct 22-Dr Hawley Har-
vey Crippen, after trial extending
over five days, and 80 minutes delib-
Grafton by the jury, today was found
guilty of the murder OF his wife, an
American woman. known on the stage
as Belle Elmore Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone, who presided at the trial,
sentenced Crippen TO be hanged ON
November 10.
There is, however, prejudice in
England against executing a man on
purely circumStantial evidence, and
an incident at the close of Crippens
trial has caused the impression that
the jury may have recommended a
life sentence. After Crippen was sen
fenced to death the foreman of the
jury handed to the lord chief justice
n note, after looking at which the jus
tice said:
THAT shall be forwarded to the
proper quarter" The proper quarter
might mean the home secretary, who
has jurisdiction in such matters. The
jurors refused TO discuss the incident.
