Senator Lodge Will Pay Tribute to
Great CarOlinian.

Washington, D. c., March 1O.-Ev-
erything is in readiness here for the
presentation of the Calhoun statue
to the Government Saturday, in Stat

side, while In the senate and house
Senator Smith and the memebrs of
the South Carolina delegation will be
the principal speakers.
In addition to the members of the
South Carolina delegation who will
speak on this occasion, Senator Lodge
fine scholar. and perhaps one Of the
best educated men in America, will
also pay a tribute to the memory of
the great Calhoun. AS q historian,
Senator Lodge is known everywhere,
and the fact that he has agreed to
become one Of the speakers on this
occasion will no doubt draw a large
crowd.
Since Sculptor Ruckstuhl placed
the Calhoun statue in the capitol,
many persons have admired it and re-
call at the same time that perhaps
since the foundation of this govern
ment, South Carolina has had as
many great men in congress as any
other State in the Union-with her

Follow Sumtcr's Example.

The city of Sumter has taken a
frn 5tand against the illegal selling
of liquor, and numerous offenders
were tried in the city court there last
week In every instance, where the
evidence warranted it, the Recorder
imposed heavy fines or an alterna-
tive sentence on the chaingang. See
ing the way things were going, others
of the tigers" came up and pleaded
guilty. The game cock city is to be
congratulated on its stand for de-
cency and law, and other towns in
the state could follow Sumter's ex-
ample with propriety. In too many
places the prohibition act is a farce,
and citizens of the towns know t..

Resolution Passed i'm House and Now

Washington, March 10.-In the

RICH FARMER TO GANG.
Judge Gary Gives Brutal White Man
Eighteen Months For Beating Aged
White Woman.

Marion, March 9.-Judge Ernest
Gary, presiding in the court Of gen.
eral sessions, yesterday delivered a
rude shock to w. H. Brigham, q
well-to-do and extensive farmer, by
giving him a sentence of one year
and six months on the chaingang,
without the option of paying a fine
for beating an old white woman who
had been cooking for him. When
asked by Judge Gary what he had
to say why sentence should not be
passed upon him, Brigham stated as
his only excuse that he had to 20
away from home and that he order d
the old woman not to leave the
premises until his return; that she
did not obey his orders and during
her absence from the place his house
was burned. On Brigman's return
ne cut stout switch and admins
tered a severe beating to the old
woman
Brigham has been into countless
shooting and fighting affairs before
this, but heretofore he has managed
to buy off most of the prosecutors
with money, and in that way has
managed to keep out of court. In
this case he had worked on the old
woman until he had succeeded in
getting her to drop the case, but
Monday morning Solicitor Wells
handed out an indictment to the
grand jury. which brought in a true
bill.
When the case was called for trial
Brlgman stated that he had decided
to plead guilty, doubtless thinking
that Judge Gary would impose q
nominal fine. However, Judge Gary
concluded that Brigham needed a
little drastic treatment, and accord
lngly gave him the chaingang sell
tence. The action of Judge Gary has
met with universal approval, and il

PAYMASTER ROBBED IN OHIO
one Dead, Another May Die as Resu,t
OF Attack.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 10.-Two
pay-masters Of coal companies were
held up today in different sections of
eastern Ohio and were robbed Of
sums approximately $500, and as a
result of the attacks, one man is dead
and another may die. The country is
much excited, and tonight blood-
hounds are in use in an attempt TO
ferret out the highwaymen.
Edward McGann, paymaster of the
Dexter Coal Company, and Robert
Pommering, an assistant, left this
city for the mine Of the COMPANY at
Brilliant, Ohio. They carried in a
satchel $4,000, the weekly pay roll
OF the mine. While driving to the
mines from the train two men over
took them and beat them into insen-
sibility, escaping with the satchel.
Farmers found the two men senseIess

night is reported fatally hurt, while
McGann is in a critical condition.
Hardly had the excitement uuieted
when another hold-up was reported
from GAINESVILLE. George Evans, aged
60, paymaster of the Muskingum
Coal Company, was shot from am
bush at Buckeye, ten miles down the
river from GAINESVILLE, and died at IL
O'Clock tonight. He was robbed of
$1,000, the weekly pay roll OF that
company. Evans was walking from
the company offices to the mines, half
mile away.
There is no clue to the robber, ex-
cept some torn pay envelopes that
strew the ground near where Evans
was attacked.
A posse is searching that section Of
the country, and bloodhounds, too,
have been put into use.

Court IN the case OF the city of An

Andrew Johnson. a negro hack driv-
er OF this city. Was found guilty of
selling whiskey. by a jury in the
mayors court. and a sentence OF 500
or thirty days on the streets was
passed on him.
Johnson's attorney appealed to the
circuit court on several grounds.
among them being that the mayors
court has no jurisdiction to try liquor
cases-that the mayors Jurisdiction
is coordinate with that OF magis-
trates.
The circuit court in September.

Ing. sustained the appeal in the case.
deciding that the mayors court had
no jurisdiction to try the case.
The city appealed the case to the
Supreme Court, and the decision just
handed down reversed the circuit
court and aftirms that OF Mayor She
rard. This means that municipal
courts can try liquor cases. and will,
therefore. play n large part in the
enforcement OF the laws against H.

The enforcement Of these laws IS
dependent largely upon the munich

IN DEAD EARNEST
Bishopville Hotel Keeper Convicted
For "Receiving" Liquor.

Bishopville, March 9.~-lhe Court
pf General Sessions was con, ened
here by Judge j. c. Klugh Monday
morning OF this week. After gen
eiCus charge to the grand jury a
number of bills Of indiCtm ant were
banded ont The usual number of
true bills were found against negroes
for such petit offences as assaults and
battery. housebreaking and larceny,
etc. Four cases for murder are on
the docket for trial against the fol-
lowing persons, each charged with
one killing: T. s. Hyatt (white,) An
thony Williams. Clarence McKeiver.
and Julius Wilson, the last three be-
ing negroes.
A case Of special interest here, and,
no doubt of general interest to the
State, was tried here today This was
the State VS.. James r. DuRant Mr..
DuRant Is the proprietor of the Du-
Rant Hotel. and was tried on the
charge of "unlawfully receiving al
coholic liquors" Lee county voted
out the dispensary last August, and
on the 18th Of November went under
the operation of the Prohibition Act
of 1909. The evidence showed that
on the Goth Of December DuRant re-
ceived by freight barrel containing
twenty-five quarts of rye liquor.
There the State rested. The defense
offered no testimony. The Judge
charged the jury that the indictment
stated an offence, and If they bcliev-
ed 1t was proved. they should find
the defendant guilty. The jury very
promptly found a verdict Of guilty,
and the defendant was sentenced to
four months on the public works, or
a fine of 5000. The same defendant
was indicted on another similar
charge. alleged to have been done on
December 27. He at once pleaded
guilty, and was given a like sentence
on that charge, which. however, was
suspended until further ordA- of the
curt.
The Act Of 1909. under which this
indictment was brought, plainly pro-
hib'ts the receiving Of liquor for any
purpose. but many lawyers aad iay-
ihen have argued that sucI a mean
ing was not intended, and that to
warrant a conviction it muet t..
shown that the stuff was received for
an unlawful purpose. and no attempt
was made to prove such purpose.
Therefore. this conviction means that
1t Is judicially determined that the
Act means just what 1t says, and that
1t Is unlawful to receive. keep or
store liquors for any purpose. 1t,
therefore, looks as If this law pro-
vides a remedy against the much
talked OF evil OF ordering whiskey.
All that is necessary are juries that
will convict.
