ALLEN DAVIS TO HANG.
First Death Sentence in Orangeburg
in Eight Years.

Orangeburg, May 5.-Allen Davis
was sentenced this afternoon to be
hanged for the murder Of his wife
last January. The defendant when
arraigned on last Monday morning
stated that he had no counsel, there
upon the court appointed counsel for
the defendant and the trial was set
for to-day. Allen Davis had no wit
nesses to testify in his behalf, but
plead not guilty upon the arralgn-
ment this morning.
The case was begun shortly after
II o'clock and the State had few
witnesses to relate the facts of the
crime. The story of the crime was
that Davis wife had left him be-
cause of his loose life. On January
80, last, Davis went to Gospel Temple
Baptist church, a church Of his COM
munity, for the purpose of making
his wife return to him. Just after
the services were about over, Davis
found an opportune time to speak to
his wife, Leila Davis. He asked her
if she was going to return home with
him. She replied that she was going
back the way she came. He stated
that if she didn't return with him she
would return in box. Upon her
second refusal to return with him,
Davis drew out his revolver and fired
a bullet into her head. While pros
trate upon the ground he fired four
times, at her, missing the body en-
tirely.
After the shooting Davis left and
went to Charlotte, at which place he
was arrested. A reward of $100 had
been offered for his apprehension.
When on the witness stand Davis
admitted killing his wife and stated
that he was sorry as soon as he did 1t.
He asked the jury to save his life.
He was a pitiful witness, just %
years of age, who stated that his pas
sion overcame him and he was truly
penitent. He loved his wife, he said.
Trembling, Davis answered the
Judges question as. to whether he
had anything to say why the sentence
of death should not be placed upon
him, replying in the negative. When
Judge Sease pronounced that he
should be hanged on July /, between
the hours of II and 2, Davis sat down
and bowed his head.
This is the first death sentence
conferred in this county in the past
eight years.

"THE STATE" COMPANY SUED.
$4,000 Action Brought Against
Newspaper by John E. Black.

Columbia, May IA libel suit for
$4,000, filed to-day against the State
Company, calls attention to the fact
that there is no libel statute in South
Carolina and only the common law
applies. Several years ago the State
Press Association framed libel law,
but it was not passed by the General
Assembly.
The $50,000 suit is filed by attor-
neys for John E. Black, and grows
out of the recent local political elec-
ton.
The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff was damaged on account of
publications in the State during the
recent municipal campaign.

G. Duncan Bellinger Dead.

George Duncan Bellinger, former
attorney general Of the State, died
at his home in Shandon asst Wednes-
day night at 9:15. His fatal illness
had been brief, although Mr.. Bellin-
ger had been in. i'll health for quite
q long time.
His general health had appeared
to be improved by a stay at Hamp-
ton Spring, Fla, and his friends
were totally unprepared for the an
nouncement that he was desperately
I'LL with blood poisoning, The malady
made rapid progress and at 9:15
Wednesday night he passed away.
Mr.. Bellinger has been resident
of Columbia ever since he entered
the Office of attorney general. Mr..
Bellinger had many of the elements
of a great public character, and had
he been less of a man and more of
a compromiser, he might have gone
high as public officer, perhaps to
the United States Senate. But with
the fearlessness which was his great
est characteristic there was hatred
of the mean and the low, and his
candor and boldness were also pro-.
verbal.
He was regarded generally as a
skillfal advocate and a man learned
in the law, but his first great hold
upon the people of South Carolina
was when he prosecuted the "Brox-
ton Bridge" case. White men of
Colleton county were charged with
serious crime and they threatened
all sorts of revenge if Mr.. Bellinger
should prosecute them. Mr.. Bellin-
ger, attended only by a newspaper
correspondent, who was close per-
sonal friend, passed gallantly through
that memorable trial, and the next
summer he bravely faced the same
desperate men in his campaign, even
though it were tempting violence at
their hands for him to even appear
in Colleton county.
The news of the death of Mr.. Bell
niger will be received with sadness as
well as with surprise by his many
friends throughout South Carolina.
The funeral services we're held at
his late residence in Shandon Thurs
day at l o'clock, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. w. C. Lindsay
of the First Baptist church. The
body was taken to Barnwell, his old
home, the interment being in the
cemetery of Bethel church. g..
Mr.. Bellinger is survived by his
wife, who was a Miss O'Bannon,
three daughters and two sons, Sophie
NJ, Norma and Anna; G. Duncan
Bellinger, Jr., law student at the
university, and Harry O'Bannon

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

When he had done, there was a
moments stiffness; then came the long
sweep of applause that rang through
the chamber, and while the lieutenant
governor raped for order, men
crowded around Vernon and wrung his
hand, as he wiped his forehead with
his handkerchief. And then the roll
was called. 1t had not proceeded far
when there was that subtitle change in
the atmosphere which Is so easily rec
ognized by those who have acquired
the sense Of political aeroscepsy; the
change that betokens some new, un.
expected and dangerous maneuver.
Brentwood had come over from the
house. His face, framed in its dark
beard was stern and serious. He
whispered an instant to Porter, the
senate leader. Porter rose.
''Mr. President" he said.
The lieutenant governor was looking
at him expectantly.
THE gentleman from Cook" the
lieutenant governor said.
NM President" said Senator Por
ter. Il move you, sir, that the further
discussion Of the resolution be post
poned until Wednesday morning, one
week from tomorrow, and that 1t be
made a special order Immediately fol
lowing the reading of the journal"
III there are no objections 1t will
be so ordered" said the lieutenant
governor.
Bull Burns shouted a prompt and
hOarse "Object!"
But the lieutenant governor calmly
said:
And 1t Is so ordered"
The gavel fell.

CHAPTER VI,

After the adjournment Vernon
sought out Maria Greene and walked
with her down Capitol avenue toward
the hotel. He was prepared to enjoy
her congratulations, but she was silent
for while, and before they spoke
again DOC" Ames, striding rapidly
had caught up with them. He was
still scowling.
i was sorry you didn't finish your
speech as you intended, sir" he said
with something of the acerbity of a
reproach.

him. Il"
you laid out very broad and com.
prehensive ground for yourself" the
old man continued, "but unfortunately
you did not cover 1t. You should have

you were going to do. An argument
