HAVE NO POWER TO SUSPEND
SENTENCE.
So states Code Commissioner "A. j..
Bethca.

Columbia, Aug. 5.-Andrew j. Be-
thea, code commissioner for South
Carolina, pointed out today that many
lawyers throughout the state are mis-
taken in supposing that "a bill to
empower the circuit judges to sus-
pend sentences i'm certain cases pass
ed at the last session Of the general
| assembly.
such bill" says the code COM
missioner. was introduced by Sena tor
Montgomery of Marion and after re-
ceiving two readings was continued
along with all second reading bills
Till next session. BY reference to
pages 6S4. IA and SIS of the house
journal for 1911 anyone can find a
complete history of this bill. Some Of
the best informed lawyers and circuit
judges in the state have addressed in
quiries to me about the matter and
considerable confusion seems TO have
arisen in some places. 1 have pub
'ished in the acts and joint resolutions
for 1911 every bill that passed at
the last session of the legislature and
cannot account for this erroneous
idea about this particular bill which
seems 10 have gained currency"
1t will be remembered that Judge
Aldrich at the last term of the circuit
court held in Columbia was under
the impression that the bill had pass
ed. but was advised to the contrary
by .he code commissioner. 1t is also
reported that Judge Sease recently
suspended number of sentences in
Greenville where he was holding
court.
Code Commissioner Bethea is
working long hours at his Office on
Law Range these days spending most
OF his time in revision OF the code
for 1912, which. he says. is a Hercul-
anian task.

The Whites Entertain the Major.
On the evening Of Friday the Slst
of March, the employees and pri-
vate business people Of the Standing
Rock Agency gave Major w l.. Bel
den farewell reception at the
agency hall, upon the successful
completion of his incumbency as In
dian Agent during an administration
of FIVE years duration The hall
was tastcfullv decorated, the ma
tional colors predominating to sym
bolize his official position. Tables
We're arranged through the length
of the hall. at which the people sat
during the evening.
Music by the Flske Orchestra en-
tertalned the eNpectant crowd as
they waited for the Major and his
escort to arrive. He soon appeared.
and was greeted with vociferous APP
|plause. The orchestra then played
a soothing melody. after which Mr.
+ II. Fiske introduced Mr.. T.. C..
Witzleben. who addressed the as
.semblage in behalf of the school and
agency employees. He spoke elo-
quently upon the capable admins
tration of the Major, and told Of
the many vicissitudes Of the office
of Indian Agent. which the Major
had met with fortitude unusual.
Mr. j NJ Carignan, former Indian
Agent. then made a few appropriate
and praiscworthy remarks, voicing
the great feeling of respect and re
gard in which Major Belden is held
by those not officially connected with
him.
The Rev. FIR. Bernard Srassmeier,
10. S. b., then expressed. in behalf
of the missionary interests, their
appreciation Of his efforts and Co
operation with them in their work
The Major then arose and in a few
words made plain his qualification
for this unprecedented demonstra-
tion in his homer. and thanked the
people for their friendly aid during
his term of office. saying that it was
largely due to this that he had been
successful.
Mr.. j. Y. Hamilton, the newly
appointed agent. was then called
upon, and spoke convincingly upon
the capable administration of his
predecessor as he had found it, clos
ing with, He is a man who makes
friends easily. and retains them. and
that is a quality that any man should
possess who would be successful" :"
Chief John Grass then spoke
through an interpreter. His talk
was replete with beautiful thoughts.
and was one of the most interesting
events Of the evening.
After this there followed pro
gram of high merit. in which all the
talented people of the agency took
part. Supper was served on the
tables, at which the people sat. after
which cards and cxtemporaneous
singing and music rounded out the
night. and when the last reluctant
good nights had been exchanged
there ended a very important and
enjoyable affair

The Indians. Also. Entertain him.


On Saturday. April |, the Indians
gave Major Belden a grand final
pow-pow. The Major was notified
that the Indians were awaiting his
presence with his friends at their
dance tipi on Porcupine creek. five
miles north Of the agency. Accord
|ingly, a large number of people went
out. AS they drew near the dance
house they could hear the mutiled
lbeats Of the tom-tom and the chant
ing Of the dancers as they frollcked
about the drum. Everybody was
given seats of prominence. Major
Belden and Supt. Hamilton occupy
| ing reserved seats. Then the sing
ers began to sing and the tom-tom
to tom, and the dancers
sprang nimbly to the center OF the
room. where they executed their
fanciest steps, after which they fell
in line and passed before the
visitors and shook hands. 1t was a
grand demonstration Of their good
will.
Speeches were then madeby prom
inent members Of the tribe, to which
Major Belden and Supt. Hamilton
replied. 1t was a splendid display
of oratorical ability. A great dance
then followed, with much joyous
singing and arwhooping Then
all posed for a fiash-light picture.
After this the visitors. with many
"iiows" bows and hand shakes, de-
parted. Sl-o8.
