MUST HANG, SAYS THE COURT.
Daniel Duncan Loses Appeal to the
States Highest Tribunal.

Columbia, Feb. 27.-Daniel Dun
can, colored, will be hanged shortly
in Charleston for the murder of Max
Lubelsky, a Russian merchant, un-
less Gov. Blease interposes execu-
tive clemency or a new trial is grant
ed, on after-discovered evidence, the
supreme court having affirmed to-
day the verdict of death imposed be-
low.
The appeal was on the ground that
evidence relating to a murderous at
tack by Duncan upon the Lubelsky
widow should have been excluded as
irrelevant. The supreme court up
holds the ruling below that the evil
dence was competent, under the
States contention that Duncan shot
to kill the woman in order to seal
her mouth. The case was remanded
so that the circuit court may fix
new date for the execution.

Kills Negro Woman.

Dillon, Feb. 27.-Minnie Herring
was killed and julius Finklea shot
through the wrist by Henry Johnson
last night ON the plantation of J. c..
Cottingham about seven miles from
here. All three are negroes.
These three and another woman
were living in one house, and a row
started because Johnson and one of
the women were packing to leave.
Johnson opened fire with a Colts re-
volver, shooting the man through
the wrist and the woman through the
abdomen.
This morning the premises were
found deserted, and the dead negress
was lying in the yard. The wounded
negro was discovered at a neighbor-
ing plantation, while Johnson and the
other woman had fed, having board
ed train for Mullins.
The coroner held an inquest and
fixed the killing on Johnson.

COURT HAD A REASON.
Judge Memminger was Unable Phys
ically to Attend Court.

Lancaster, Feb. Ex-Governor
Blease is quoted in the daily papers
as saying that he declined to COM
mission c. P. Quatlebaum as special
Judge to hold court at Conway as
recommended by the supreme court
because Judges Copes and Men,
minger were disengaged.
The supreme court knew, so your
correspondent is informed, though
not by any member of the court, be-
fore making the Quattlebaum recon-
mendation that neither Judge Copes
nor Judge Memminger could be as
singed to hold the Conway court. It
knew that, upon his qualification,
Judge Copes would preside at the
Richland court in Columbia this
week.
It also knew that Judge Memming-
er was sick at his home in Charles
ton, upon its inquiry, that in the
opinion of his physicians he was not
physically able to 60 to Conway.

State News Boiled Down for Quick

Men and Happenings.

There are five persons now taking
the Pasteur treatment for rabies at
the institute in Columbia, they have
been bitten by dogs supposed to be
mad.
Judge Robert E. Copes, of Orange
burg, who was elected Circuit
Judge by the recent legislature, has
qualified and is holding court in Co.
lumbia this week.
It is announced that grading will
commence at once on the interur-
ban trolley line in the Piedmont
which is to connect the cities of
Greenwood, Spartanburg, Greenville
and Anderson.
Governor Blease has announced
that he will not appoint any negroes
as notaries public, and if any slip in,
he wants to be notified by the clerks
of court, so that their commissions
may be revoked.
A hearing was had last week be-
fore Gov. Blease in reference to the
act passed by the recent legislature
against Informed counties, and as
a result the governor announced
that he will veto the act because it
is unconstitutional.
It seems to be plain from the rec
ord that the governor occupies an un-
tenable position in regard to special
Judge for the Conway court. He
stated that he did not obey the rec
ommendation of the supreme court
because there was a circuit judge dis
engaged, and it appears that he was
mistaken. Judge Copes is holding
court in Columbia and Judge Mem
minger opens court in Monck's Cor
ner Monday.

them, for there were certainly heavy
frosts three mornings last week.

to open his gate for wearing the
hinges, would climb the fence to
avoid opening and wearing the gate
hinges, or the man that had his
wife make his boys pants tight so
as to save cloth. This man would
not let a visitor pump up his bicycle
tire on his land; was too stingy to
spare the air.

State of South Carolina ought to go
dry now as they had dried the ma
jority of the counties by means of To-

wise to burn the bridge now as they
had passed over safely and make
Statewide prohibition. But I told
him that we may want to cross over

News from Kearse.

Wanderers Rest, Feb. 27.-The
grip is abroad in the land and many
are the victims who suffer from the
invasion. Misery loves company, and
in this case the company is plenty
but not congenial. AS for the writer
he much prefers the song Of birds,
pretty flowers and music, but in this
old world things are not always what
we like. Now for the benefit of
those who are not acquainted with
the monster we will let an old man
down this side give in his own words
the miseries of the plague. Eyes,
sir, I sho had de grip, you see it
was dis way. I feel weak in de knees
den I get cold and shaky all over,
den my head begin to git light, my
knees feel like dey going to shut up

Things are brighter than a few
days ago. The sun is shining bright,
the violets are all smiles, the mock

and she replies wait So spring
will soon be here. One large fine
open rose is before the writer, she'd
ing it's beauty and fragrance all
around; the spirea, verbena, too, are
here, all to remind us of the promise
that seed time and harvest will come
as long as the earth remaineth and
that spring time is coming with it's
flowers. The little blue birds are
happy with their song as they fit
about.
From the amount of yellow soil
turned up this spring, the crops will
be abundant next harvest, some of
our farmers are trying to keep up
with the new mode of farming.
Watch results.
Corn will be cheap next fall. Watch
the old men and boys, for many of
them have put in to win, and where
the right kind of effort is used they
will be crowned with success.
