Tried - CockfieId Murder Case
In Progress.
The court of general sessions con.
vened Monday at II o'clock a. m,
Judge j w Devore presiding. So
licitor Stoll and Stenographer Wood
were in their respective places and
the despatch of business proceeded
without delay.
The Judges charge to the grand
jury consumed about one hour anc
the points of law touched upon were
very clearly elucidated. He charg-
ed them especially as to the sanctity
of their oaths, which enjoin alb.
solute secrecy as to their delibera-
tions while considering matters
brought before them.
The functions of the grand jury are
most important, being above those
of any other man or set of men
holding Office in the county. Their
power is almost absolute AMI they
should at all times be alert and
wide-awake in the suppression of
lawlessness or misdoing. They are
on duty the year round and their at
tendance upon the court is the
smallest part of that duty. He
charged them especially as to their
investigation of the court house of
fees, warning them against a mere
compliance with the letter of the
law. In several counties, he re-
minded them, right on the heels Of
the grand jury's report of office
neatly kept, books and accounts all
right" came expert accountants
whose Investigations disclosed short
ages of thousands of dollars. He
then outlined a simple but effec-
tive system of checking the county
commissioners office, whereby every
dollar of the money paid into the
commissioners hands by the treas
urer might be ascertained and it
would then be an easy matter to see
how the money was expended by en-
amining the vouchers in the COM
office! He also dwelt at
some length on the duties of magis-
trates and other county officers.
When the grand jury yesterday
afternoon handed in its final pre-
before discharging them
His Honor courteously thanked them
for their prompt and business-like
which had facilitated the
work of the court in no small meas
ure. This is Judge Devore's first
in Williamsburg county
and he seems to have made a good
generally as a fair and
able Judge.
Up to the hour hour we go to
press the following cases have been
been disposed of or are now being
tried:
The State VS. H D Ferrell, obtain
ing goods by false pretense. Guilty
of obtaining property under $40.
to pay fine of $40 or
twenty days imprisonment. Messrs
Charlton DuRant and R j Kirk rep
resented the defense.
The State VS. ] ] Bradham, unlaw-
full traffic in seed cotton. Pleaded
guilty and sentenced to $50 fine or
three months Imprisonment.
The State vs. Luther johnson, as

Governor Blease has vetoed quite a
number of the more important bills
which were passed by the General
Assembly and ratified as acts.
Among these, probably the most i'm
portant, was the act providing for
the distribution of the dispensary
fund. Others of special Importance
are bills providing commission
form of government for cities and
towns of certain size. Among the
acts on which consideration is not
complete are those relating to the
State hospital commission and pro-
viding for an Investigation into the
affairs of the dispensary commission.
Governor Blease stated that he was
opposed to the commissiet form of
government and On this ground We
toed two acts relating thereto. These
acts are tR ones providing for the
commission form of government in
cities of more than 5000 inhabit-
ants and IN towns of not less than
1000 inhabitants.
The Stevenson act providing for
the distribution of the dispensary
funds has been vetoed by Governor
Blease. This act is of great signif-
canoe to the common schools, since
under it they are to receive S10O-
600 to be distributed under the
supervision of the State officers and
county boards. AS his reason for
vetoing this act, Governor Blease
stated that it was because of the
frequent enrolment now in vogue
in the negro schools of the State,
which fact, he said, had been duly
called to the attention of the Gen.
eral Ass mbly.
In vetoing the act in regard to
exemptions from jury duty, Govern
or Blease stated that he did not be-
lieve in taking the time of bankers
and men in public institutions. The
act eliminated ministers and bank
ers from the forr1er exemptions of
jury duty.
In vetoing the act relating to an
assistant superintendent of educa-
ton in certain counties, Governor
Blease gave as his reason that this
was a useless and unnecessary po-
sition.
The act in regard to libel and
civil proceedings in reference there
to has been vetoed on the grounds
that it would cause more killings
than ever before. The newspa-
pers have too much liberty now,"
said Governor Blease.
Governor Blease is still consider
ing the act providing for an investi-
CATION of the affairs of the dispens-
ary commission. This action was
taken in pursuance to a message
from Governor Blease to the Gener-
al Assembly.
The act in reference to the COM
mission on the State Hospital for the
Insane is still under consideration.
This act continues the present men,
bers of the commission and recon-
mends their reappointment by the
Governor.
On the act of the General Assem-
bly, to prevent the formation of i'll
shaped counties, Governor Blease has
set hearing for IL o'clock Satur-
day. At this hearing Mr. R H Welch,
the advocates of Hey
ward and other proposed counties,
will endeavor to prove to Governor
Blease that the act is unconstitution-
al. On the other side of the question
MIR D S Henderson, representing
Aiken county, vii. be hea d. The
bill was pushed through by the Aiken
county delegation.

WOULD AID GOVERNMENT.
Labor Unions Stand as to RatInG
of John Moore.

Stating that the appointment as a
skilled workman of John More. a ne
gro. was the result OF a misunderstand-
ing. and expressing his belief that
the Civil Service Commission would
speedily rectify the mistake. Emmett
l.. Adams. member of the law and leg
islation committee of the Central La
Dor Union. yesterday denied the inten-
tion of the labor unions to do other
than aid the government in preserving
it's classification of employees.
From the statement that Public
Printer Donnelly has issued" he said,
1T is clearly evident that he did not
intend Moore to he employed as a
skilled workman. but that subordlnates
violated his ruling. This is the belief
of every member of the Bricklayers'
Union. which recently started the in

The detective did some shadow work
from behind q large tree. Then he de-
cided on another move and 'phoned the

Hilton Defeats InSLee;
Plays HerreShOH Today
Final Match for the American Amateur Col
Championship Will Be Thriller.

Rye, n. Y, Sept. 15.-With Fred Herre-
shon as his opponent. Harold H. Hilton
will attempt tomorrow TO bring to a
successful conclusion his weA-fought
campaign for the American golf cham
oionship. AS was expected, the British
champion won easily at Apawamis to-
lay in his semi-final match against c. w.
.nsIee, Of Wykagyl but the defeat of
Chick" Evans at the hands of Fred
Ierreshoff was 10 a certain extent a
surprise. as the Westerner. who holds
the title Of champion of France was gen.
orally regarded as the favorite.
The truth of the matter is that HERE
shoff and his golf bear a close resem-
bIance to the little girl with the curl, for
when he is good. he is very, very good.
but when he is bad he is horrid." To-
lay he was good. so good that Evans.
although he played we'll. could not hold
him, but exactly 4 year ago to-day, on
September i, 1910. the same Evans beat
him by II up and 10 to play in the third
round Of the national championship at
Brookline That was one of the days on
which he was so bad that he was horrid.
Which he will be tomorrow when he
makes Americas last stand against the
British champion is something that can
not be safely preQlCteQ, out II he continues
the pace he set to-day, the match will
be one of the greatest ever played in
America. and II Hilton wins. it will be
by a display Of reserve energy which
some of his friends claim can be called
into play If needed
The matches to-day were played in
rain which at times assumed the pro-
portions of a heavy shower. The
course was decidedly soggy, but, in
spite of the wet. a gallery which in
the afternon must have included over
500 persons plodded through the mud
after the players. The proportion of
women who braved the rain was large
and fully One-third were of the theO-
retically weaker sex. If tomorrow is
'aIr all records are likely to be broken.
InaIee Takes Lead.
Ihslee surprised Hilton at the be-
ginning Of the match by taking the lead
at the first hole and becoming up
by also winning the fifth hole The
EngIishman soon recovered the lost
ground, however, winning the seventh,
eighth, ninth, and tenth holes rapidly.
Inslee was plainly nervous after this
rally. and Hilton had no difficulty in
finishing the morning round five holes
In the lead. The cards:
