POLICE HEAD PROCESSION.
When College Girls Go to Church in
Greenville

Two young men of Greenville were
in this city several days and tell
ing the progress of that city in every
way began discussion of the new Or
dinance in Greenville which prohibits
the young men of the city stopping
on the streets where the college girls
are accustomed to pass, or congregat-
ing in conspicuous places.
One of the young visitors to Spar
tanburg said that it was really and
truly a fact that when the young la
dies at the female institutions OF
Greenvilla went shopping or even
went to church, noe policeman head
ed the line and another brought up
the rear, protecting the young ladies
from the glances or even smiles of
the young mn of that city.
This may sound absurd, but it is
really and truly fact and condi-
tions existing in Greenville have not
been exaggerated. Newspapers of
Greenville have had very little to say
in regard to the new ordinance and
it's results and effects.
Several days ago two young men
of Greenville whose names could not
be learned were arrested on a charge
of stopping on the streets where the
college girls were accustomed to
pass. They were tried in police
court in that city and each fined $40,
which was paid. These young men
are from the most prominent families
in Greenville and nothing appeared
in either Greenville paper about the
court proceedings. 1t is said that
this case has been a good example
for the other young men.-Spartan-
burg Journal.

LINCOLN AMONG LAWYERS.
Sympathetic View of Martyred Pres
ident by Late Lambert Tree.

Speaking of Lincoln as a lawyer.
Leonard SWEET, his contemporary
and friend, once told me that Lin
coin was not worth a cent in a case
in which he did not believe. In
this connection he related an Incl
dent of Lincoln and himself being
appointed by Judge David Davis to
defend man indicted for murder
who was supposed to be without
means to retain a lawyer. However,
the prisoner had friends who were
able to raise 500 for his defence.
The money was turned over to SWEET,
who handed half Of it to Lincoln.
When they came to consult with the
prisoner, Lincoln, became convinced
that he was guilty, and that the only
chance of saving his neck was to
have him plead guilty and then ap-
peal to the court for leniency. This
was opposed by SWEET, who was an
extremely adroit criminal lawyer.
The case, therefore, came to trial,
but Lincoln, though present and sit
ting beside SWEET, took no part in it
further than to make an occasional
suggestion to his associate in the
course Of the examination of witness
es. The outcome of the case, thanks
to technicalities, which Unexpectedly
appeared, and which SWEET was not
slow to take advantage of, was that
the man was acquitted. When the
jury rendered the verdict, Lincoln
reached over Swett's shoulder, with
the $50 in his hand, and said:
"Here, SWEET, take this money. 1t
is yours. You earned it, not -
Lincoln's career as lawyer shows
him in an admirable light as man
whoa cherished no malice, and this
was equally true in the midst of the
most heated political contests. II
was indeed a beautiful side of his
character, for no man in politics was
ever more frequently called upon,
prior to his election to the presi-
dency at least, to drink to the dregs
the bitter cup of political disappoint-
ment.

State Claims to Have Established
Conspiracy to Murder Young Man.
Prisoners Show no Emotion.

Whiteville, N. c., Feb. 1.-THE
shifting of scenery in the deplorable
Hayes Floyd affair from Tabor, N. c.,
where Robert NJ. Floyd, young med
ical student, was killed on Saturday
night, February 4, by Mrs. Rosa D.
Hayes to Whiteville, the county seat
of Columbus county, where the pre-
liminary investigation was held to-
day, by no means showed a decrease
in the interest taken in the affair
since the night of the killing. Every
train coming into this place last
night and to-day brought people to
the hearing, especially the train from
Horny county, which reached here
this morning literally packed with
witnesses and onlookers. Tabor, the
scene Of the first chapter in this mys-
terious tragedy, was here almost en-
masse.
Remanded to Jail
The hearing opened at 10:30 this
4
morning in the county court house,
W. G. Graham and J. G. Hooks
magistrates, sitting on the case.
The State of North Carolina was rep
resented by D. ]. Lewis and Lyon &
Greer of this place, while the Hayes
were defended by the local firm Sof
Schulken, Toon & Schulken and Don
McRacken of the local bar.
The court ruled early during the
hearing that the three defendants,
Mrs. Rosa Hayes, as principab and
her husband, N. NJ. Hayes and Lloyd
Hayes as accessories, would be tried
together. The case tifesomely and
slowly proceeded throughout the day,
having been concluded late this even
ing, when the court ruled, as moved
by the States attorneys that Mrs.
Hayes be remanded to jail without
bail and that N. M. Hayes and Lloyd
Hayes be held as accessories before
| the fact. Court fixed the bond Tor
N. M. Hayes and his brothers y Lloyd
Hayes, at $1,000 each.
Bond Was Not Given.
None of the defendants had word
to say at the hearing, nor was Mrs.
Hayes testimony before the coron-
er's jury admitted. In fact, the posi-
tion of the defense was as stated
early in the hearing by the senior
Mr.. Schulken: 1--WE are not agreeing
to anything." Nor did they, relying
entirely on the chance Of failure OF
the State to make a sufficient show
ing.
The State put up upwards Of q
! dozen witnesses and announced that
they had still others, but thought
they had gone far enough to estab-
lish a conspiracy to take the life OF
Robert M. Floyd.

TROUBLE AT THE COLLEGE
Has Been Happily Settled and Every
thing is Serene Again:

There was some trouble at Newber-
ry college a few days ago that looked
serious for a time, but fortunately it
has been settled. A member of the
Junior Class was suspended indef-
nitely, and this came near resulting
in the whole class leaving college.
The facts briefly stated are these:
On Wednesday night during facul-
ty meeting, at which infraction of
rules was being discussed, the knob
of the door to the room was tied so
that the door could not be opened
from the inside, the windows Of the
room having been fastened down Sc
cretly before the meeting. While
the meeting was in progress fusil-
ade Of pistols was heard out ON the
campus. When the members of the
faculty rushed to the door for the
purpose of going out to catch the Of
tenders they found themselves fast
ened in; and this fact gave the Of
tenders time to get out Of the way.
But one student was caught return
ing to the dormitory, and, the evil
dence satisfying the faculty that he
was among the offenders, he was sus-
pended, and announcement Of the
fact was made.
The suspended students classmates,
or most of them, thought he had
been treated unjustly, and drew up
statement in writing to that effect,
accompanying the statement with
the threat that if he were not taken
back they would leave college. This
paper was signed by % Of the 27
classmates of the suspended student,
including one of the two co-eds Of
the class, the other coed and three
young men refusing to sign. The re-
ply Of the faculty to this paper was
that the suspension of the one stu
dent should stand; that the % sign
ers of the statement were also Asus-
pended until they should withdraw the
paper, and that if they proposed to
stand by their paper, they must get
of the college campus without un-
necessary delay. They were fully de-
termined on leaving; but older and
wiser friends to themselves and to
the college talkd with them; they
became convincd that they had been
too hasty, and asked that they be per-
mitted to withdraw their paper;
which was readily granted by the
faculty, and the trouble was ended,
much to the qualification of the
faculty d all others concerned.
In speaking of the incident, Pres
ident Harms remarked to the report
er that the Junior class was a fine
body Of college students; one Of the
best the institution has ever had. He
is sure they acted hastily and with
out taking time to think. AS soon as
they took time to consider the atti-
tude they had taken they realized
they were in the wrong and did the
manly thing in setting themselves in
the right. The president says that
the class are stronger in the affec-
tions and the confidence of the facul-
ty than ever before.-Newberry OBJ

Banuueted Her Servants.

st. Louis, Feb. 13.-Mrs. Irene
Catlin Allen, who was married here
a week ago to Frederick Winthrop
Allen of New York, gave her deposi-
tion here to-day in behalf Of hel
brother, Theron E. Catlin, in Pat.
rick F. Gill's contest for the con.
gress seat to which Catlin was elect
ed last November.
Regarding a dinner to bricklayers
at the Catlin home on the day after
the election, said to have been prom
ised them in the interest of Theron
Catlin's candidacy for congress, she
testified.
II was talking with our yardman
about 1 o'clock election day. I asked
him to vote for Theron if he could
and he said my brother was all right
and we'd be celebrating next day.
"When the returns showed Theron
elected I told my father we ought
to give all the servants a celebration
and he told me to go ahead. We ar
ranged a dinner and I told the yard
man, as he was the cause of it, to
notify all the men working about
the place."
When asked what she had done to
help her brother in the campaign
Mrs. Allen said:
II asked all my personal friends
to vote for him if they could. I
also asked the men servants: Out
side of this I did nothing"
She said she had disbursed no
money, had no checking account in
any bank and put no money under
the plates of the laborers invited to
the dinner.

appointment sinks the heart of man.
Sometimes the heart of young lady
as was the case a few days ago.
Now this young lady prides herself
in the fine art of cake making and
her cakes baked last week were Of
such fine quality she bethought of a
worthy uncle and his wife; one was
done up in a dainty package and sent
post haste by two little girls; their
return eagerly awaited to receive
the merited praise due her, when 10
in they came full of laughter and
glee, good omen the young lady
thought, how her heart beat with
pride as she thought of the high
praise she was to receive, when hor-
ror of horrors! they told her amid
laughter, uncle says this is the poor
est cake I have tasted since I kept
bachelors hall long years ago; yes,
Just like the cake old Ann, the cook,
made for me and I thought it was
the poorest cake on earth, just like
AIMS. Here the curtain drops, but
the young lady laughs at it now, for
it was only joke anyway. Try it
again and success will crown the ef-
fort next time.
Last Wednesday evening will be a
bright mile stone on the way down
the sands of time. A party of five
went on a fish; pleasure bent they
were to put out the line, one more to
come after dark, make fire, have all
ready for the fry; sooI after dark
the lines were gone to, fine chance
of cat fish taken, then to camp, an
old man a boy again, enthused by
the prospect of fish supper, the
company of young men, the stream,
trees and nature run wild only as it
can in Southern swamps raised his
spirits to the point of overfowing,
and, to the CONSERVATION Of those
boys he sang amid the hoot of owls
and the croak of frogs, the last song
hit, Dixie" and "The Girl I Love. I"
Soon camp was reached, there true
to his word, was an old soldier,
everything ready except the fish.
Soon all hands are at work, the fish
done to turn, the feast was spread
and for an hour at least the repast
lasted, tales of gourmands and their
fates were told as the coffee was
slipped and the huge tray of fish dis
appeared. Sorry you were not with
us Mr.. Editor, for a jollier set of six
would be hard to find. Still, anxious
fear may have ranked in the bosom
of some as some pointed tale was
told, yet a certain old man ate until
he feared for his own safety, more
fish still left, but eventually he had
to stop for lack of room, but looked
with longing eyes on the fish, so nice
and brown, still left.
The young ladies are going to give
an oyster supper at the residence Of
Mr.. G. B. Kearse next Friday even
ing, the 18th. All are invited and a
nice time assured to all, the pro-
ceeds to go to White Point school
house.
Rev. Mr.. Walker preached to a
well filled house yesterday afternoon
at White Point and a good sermon,
full of thought for reflection.
Miss Alice Smoak, of Bambl g, is
spending some time with her sister,
Mrs. j. o. Ritter.
A nice rain on Saturday afternoon
