MURDER TRIAL In
CAMDEN COURT
TWO CASES OF LOCAL INTEREST
TO BE HEARD AT ST.
MARYS THIS WEEK,

Camden superior court will con-
vene in regular session tomorrow
morning with Judge Conyers presid-
ing. Several of the members of the
local bar will go to st. Marys to at
tend the session.
A number of cases of unusual in
terest will be tried during the session,
principal among them being the trial
of L. o. O'Berry, the white man in
jail in this county charged with the
murder of Mary Randolph, a negress,
and her young daughter, which oc-
Cured in August. O'Berry has been
in the local Jail for several weeks
and will be carried to st. Marys in a
few days.
The case has proved to be one OF
the most sensational in recent year
O'Berry, it is alleged, murdered the
woman and her daughter with robbery
as his purpose. He saw her cash a
large check at a store near Kingsland,
followed her to her home and MUIR
dered her. When he was captured he
mad a portion of the money in his
mouth. He had made a small wad of
it and endeavored to make it appear
to the officers who were searching
him that he was chewing tobacco.
O'Berry was placed in jail at st.
Marys and once made his escape, hav-
ing attacked the jailer when he
came in to serve a meal. He was re-
captured the following day, however,
and was later brought to this city
for safekeeping.
Another case of interest will be the
trial of Ed Fader of this city, who
is charged with shooting two negroes
on Cumberland several weeks ago, in
duel which he had with a negro
family. Mr.. Fader will be represented
by Whitfield & Dart of this city, while
Solicitor Thomas will prosecute the
case.
There are one or two other cases of
interest which will come up during
! the session. The civil docket will
probably be disposed of first.

ARGUED ALL DAY
ON THE JUROR
AT THE PRESENT RATE 1T WILL
BE SEVERAL WEEKS IN GET
ING JURY FOR M'NAMARAS.

Los Angeles, Oct. 14.-Further argu-
ment as to whether z. T. Nelson
should be sworn as juror in the trial
of James B. Mcnamara, indicted for
the murder of Charles Haggerty,a vic
tim of The Times explosion, occupied
a brief session Of court today. From
behind battery of law books, attor-
neys for the prosecution and defense
wrangled as to Nelson's eligibility,
delving deep into the realms of pre-
cedent cases on the bias of talesmen.
On Monday Judge Walter Bordwell
will render a decision as to whether
bias or prejudice is contained in Mel
sons admissions on the stand that he
had formed certain opinions concern
ing the blowing up of The Times
building, which caused the deaths of
score of men and on which the in
dictments for murder against James
B. Mcnamara and his brother, John
j., are based.
Attorney G. Ray Horton concluded
the argument for the state, that Nell
son, though admitting he held opin-
ions about the case, had shown his
impartiality by announcing that he
would waive these opinions in lieu
for evidence introduced.
EH2lca;oH Due to Gas.
Tso defcnse VII argue that the ex.
plosion was due to gas.
Nelson has said he had formed his
own opinions, but that he could re-
view the evidence impartially. 81 don't
see how we ever will get an intelli-
gent juryman If we bar every one who
has some opinion on the case" re-
marked Prosecutor Fredericks this
morning. 1t was intimated by Mr..
Darrow before court opened today
that should the court disallow the
challenge for cause against Nelson a
peremptory challenge at any rate
would be exercised against him by
the defense.

FOURTH INNING.

Philadelphia-Th game so far re-
solved itself into a pitching duel. and
While the play was in progress there
We're long moments of intense sus-
pense. Once when a hit was made
or there was some brilliantly fielding
play did the crowd vent it's enthusi-
asm. Murphy fouled out to Myers.
Davis went out, Fletcher to Merkle.
Mathewson worked his famous fade
away and mixed it up with big drop
and high fast one. Barry popped
up to Fletcher. No runs; no hits.
New York-Snodgras took his base
on balls after Bender had gotten two
strikes on him. The fourth ball hit
Snodgrass on the wrist. The crowd
now let loose and there was pande-
monium of sound. Murray out, Collins
to Davis; Snodgrass taking second on
the play. 1t was an attempt at the
hit and run play. Bender's binding
speed was too much for Merkle and
he struck out Collins made mess
of Herzog's grounder, and Snodgrass
scored. Collins threw to the plate
but the throw was a trifle wide and
on the play Herzog took second.
Fletcher struck out. One run; no
hits.

Eight Hundred Witnesses MAY Tes-
tify to Mcnamara Case.

Los Angeles, Cal, October IL
A scurry for country clubs and
beaches marked to-day the end of
the FIST week of the Mcnamara
murder trial. When Judge Bord-
well adjourned the case at noon, un-

James B. Mcnamara, on trial for
The murder Of Charles ]. Haggerty,
victim of the Los Angeles Times
explosion, was taken back to his
cell, where during the afternoon he
discussed the situation with his
brother John j. Mcnamara, also un-
der indictment for murder.
The brief week, interrupted by
Two holidays, was sufficient to out
line the tremendous struggle. now
beginning. Those who at the be-
ginning predicted a three months
trial heightened this to six months,
and that nine months or more may
nave elapsed before the trials of
the brothers are completed, seemed
the general opinion. A month in
winch to secure a jury was held a
moderate estimate.
Whether the 800 or more venire-
men remaining were sufficient to
supply a jury was discussed, with
the point in view that the trial
might be pushed out of Los Angeles
county for lack of jurors.
External proceedings, however,
were held Of minor Importance COM
pared with the declaration in Court.
from the defence, that the case
would be regarded not alone as the
trial of a single man, but as strug
gle in which organized labor would
play a leading part. That, and the
defence that the Times was blown
up, not by dynamite, but by gas,
seemed to comprise the position of
the defence, although the burden
on the State, of showing that James
b. Mcnamara was in Los Angeles,
or at any place where he could have
been responsible for Haggerty's
death, will be strongly insisted up
on.
Perhaps 500 witnesses, all told,
are being held in readiness, accord

fence for bias, but at the close of

Sellers, Oct. Is. - Special: A
representative of the State board
OF health is visiting this place each
Thursday for the purpose of treat
ing free any case of hookworm dis
eaes. A number have been treated
with beneficial results. Drs. How
ell and Rogers have been attending
to the business. Last Thursday
evening, at the school house, a ster-
opticon view of the hookworm was
exhibited, and explained by the
physicians. A large crowd was pres
ent.
The board of school trustees, con-
ststipg of Ben B. Sellers, w. X.
Bethea and ]. F. Easterling, find
ing the old school building too
small to accommodate the growing
numbers of the school, have added
q music room and put in new
piano for the benefit of the large
class of music pupils. This depart
ment is in charge of Miss Lenoir
Allen. Miss Mary Belle Manning
is the efficient principal, assisted
by Miss Allen, with the primary
pupils. This school was established
in lS41, and has been doing good
work almost continuously for the
past seventy years. The fourth gen.
Grafton of the original founders are
now attending the school. There
are more graduates of the various
colleges from this school than from

SEABOARD IN THE PEE DEE.
ierIect Net Work of Lines With
outlets at Wilmington and Char
lesion.

Sellers, Oct. Is. - Special: The
extension OF the Bennettsville and
Cheraw railroad from Brownsville
In marlboro county, has been COM
pleted to this place, and regular
trains Will soon be running tc
hoLoch on the Seaboard near Che
raw The extension from Browns
vile is between ten and eleven
miles, and runs through a splendid
section or Dillon county. The whole
road from Bennettsville, runs
through that fine timbered ridge ly-
ing between the river road and the
Marion and Bennettsville public
road, and at no point more than a
mile from the latter road and is
doing a splendid business.
Those in a position to know say
that the road will eventually be car
rled to Marion, thence to Conway,
and finally to Southport, N. c., thus
giving the Seaboard two outlets ION
the Atlantic, Charleston and South
port. If this extension is made
Will cross the road from Hamlet by
way of Mullins, now heading

The Seaboard and it's connections
is 1ntersecting this whole eastern
SecIlon OF the state, and is bound
to be formidable rival of the At
lantic Coast Line, which for many
years, has enjoyed n complete mo-
nopoly OF railroad business in this
part of the States of North and
South Carolina.
However, there is plenty of busi-
ness for both, as the Atlantic Coast
Line is unable to properly handle
the business unless - it is double
tracked. This spring fertilizers were
not moved promptly, and there was
great complaint on the part of the
farmers that fertilizers did not
come in time, so that planting was
delayed until the spring drought
set in. The main reason why 40
per cent. of the cotton of this sec
ton is late on account of fertilizer
shipments being delayed. AS an in
stance of this delay a car of fer
tilizer shipped from Marion to Sell
lers, distance by rail of only fiji
fCen miles, was delayed eleven days
alter the bill of lading was issued
a: Marion. 1t is hoped that before
another season conditions will be

WHITE MAN KILLED IN GIN.
III. G. Pope, Of Sumter, Met Horrible
Death in Machinery.

Sumter, Oct. 11.-Special: H. c.
Pope, a white man living several
miles from town, was cut in a gin
to-day shortly after noon and died
from the shock this afternoon.
Mr.. Pope was overseerer on Mr.
II. ]. Harby's place. have come here
some time in the early part of this
year. 1t seems from what can be
learned of the accident that Mr.
Pope had just walked in the build
ing and went over to see how the
gin was running His hand was
caught in the gin and before the
power could be turned off the arm
was mangled and the breast was
cut in a number of places.
A doctor was at once called and
after seeing the patient, had him
removed to the Sumter Hospital,
where the arm was removed. Death
followed a short while afterwards.
