Magistrate Wells, Of Srm'sf o3
aHysterious Case ~
MADE HIMSELF SCARCE
White, Man Severely Whipped by a
Negro Girls Friends for Taking
Her Buggy Riding, and Then the
White Man Disappeared From the
Scene.

A dispatch from Sumter to The
News and Courier says case of Pc
culiay' interest was laid to rest Sat
urday in so far as Sumter County is
concerned, when Magistrate Wells
dismissed the charge against Henry
Caldwell, Joe and John Smiling and
James Sweat for assault and battery
of high and aggravated nature be-
cause of lack of jurisdiction. 1t was
found when the case came off that the
alleged offence had been committed
in Clarendon and not Sumter county.
The case is a most unusual one
in that it has been most mysterious
from start to finish. 1t resulted
from the alleged whipping of a white
man named Browder by the 'Smilings
and Sweat. 1t has been stated that
Browder. white man, went to live
In the house OF Cheaves, a negro
preacher, for whom he was working.
On Sunday afternoon, June 4th, it is
said, Browder secured horse and
buggy from Cheaves, Git is claimed
that he stole it, and took the dangh-
ter Of Caldwell Smiling, a negro, out
riding.
Tie Smilings objected and pursued
and caught up with him, and it is
alleged, wore out three buggy whips
on him mast. numerically. After
that time Browder was seen no more
in the vicinity and it is claimed by
some of the white people of the
neigh borhood that the morning fol-
lowing the whipping considerable
shooting was heard at the place
Browder was last seen and they sup
posed that he had been shot and
his body hidden in the woods.
Warrants were sworn ont before
Magistrate Wells, based upon infor-
nation and belief that Browder had
met with foul treatment and the hear
ing was set for Saturday. In the
meantime several persons had stated
that they had seen Browder and 1t
was reported that he was, at the home
of his father below GreeleyTille,
while other reports stated that he
was with his sister in Columbia. The
charge was changed from murder to
assault and battery and pushed on
by the whites who had sworn out the
warrants.
At Saturdays hearing before Mag
istrate Wells the witnesses, who were
mostly friends and relatives Of the
Smilings, stated that they knew
nothing about what had happened,
and it was impossible for the State
to prove that the alleged assault
tool, place in this county, while sew
eral Of the witnesses stated that they
had been told that it took place at
spot in Clarendon county. Upon
these grounds the case was thrown
out by Magistrate Wells for lack OF
jurisdiction. In the meanwhile,
Browder,, whom the case is all about,
has not been located.

BLEASE'S MISTAKE
SAYS FIELDER HAS BEEN NNDICT-
ED, WHICH is NOT so.
In Offering Reward for the Atlanta
Attorney an Incorrect Statement
Is Made.

Is Made.
An official proclamation by Gov.
Elease Friday makes a statement
of particular interest in connection
with the case Of T. B. Fielder.
The Governor in his proclamation
says that T. B. Fielder "has been in
dicted for said charge and Is now a
fugitive from justice from the State
of South Carolina
T. B. Fielder was not indicted in
Newberry county. This fact was
among those presented to Gov. Brown
of Georgia on Thursday as to why
requisition papers should not be hon
ored for Mr.. Fielder.
The occasion fJr the proclamation
was the Offering of reward of $500
for the apprehension and delivery of
T. B. Fielder, to South Carolina Off
GERS.
The following is the proclamation,
in which the misstatement of fact
occurs:
Estate of South Carolina
Executive Chamber
"Whereas, information has been
received at this department that one
Thomas B. Fielder did on the secono
day of October, A. D. 1905, and div
ers other times, attempt to bribe a
member of the Board Of Directors of
the State Dispensary Of South Caro-
lima, and did conspire to cheat and
defraud the State of South Carolina,
by said actions, and has been indicted
for said charge, and is now a fugi-
tive from justice from the State of
South Carolina.
"Now, therefore, I, Cole T.. Blease,
Governor of the State Of South Caro-
lima, in order that justice may be
done and the majesty Of the law vim
dicated, do hereby offer reward OF
two hundred (s200.00) dollars for
the apprehension and delivery of the
said Thomas B. Fielder to the Sheriff
of Newberry County, at any point
within the State Of South Carolina.
"In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State to be affixed,
at Columbia, this twenty"third day
of June, A. D. 1911, and in the 135th
year Of the Independence of the
United States of America.
Cole L. Blease,
Governor.
BY the Governor:
r. NJ. McCown,
Secretary of State.
The other facts in the proclama-
ton are familiar to the public.
Blease on the Word Indict.
Governor Blease on Saturday VOL
unteered the following interview:
What about the use o. the word
'indict' in the Fielder proclamation,
as called attention to by The State?
eve would have used the words
formally indicted,'sor "a formal in
dictment having been presented If

that a grand jury had returned true
bill. The fact that the language used
as it is, is in accordance with usual
form and meant simply to convey the
idea chat he had been indicted or
prosecuted by order of the said State
officials, to wit: the Dispensary Com
dission. and that a warrant for his
arrest had been sworn out.
"These are all public matters; have
baen thoroughly advertised and none
but those who are attempting to
tnwart the officials from discharging
their duty would construe it other
wise. I care nothing for their cr!ti-
cisns. They are weakening them
selves everyday by their course and
strengthening me, so all I can say is,

BLOUSE OF CREAM eHrFFoN OVER CREAM
NET.
The Quaint Earn nish.

No n would know that the fern
dish was a homemade affair. 1t had
all the appearance of one of those very
expensive treasures from the art de-
partment. And it cost only 10 cents.
A bundle Of round and fiat white hat
wire was used to make the basket. Tt
was a simple pudding pan shape with
a double edge of plaited wires. When
the substantial affair was finished 1t
was dipped into a mixture Of plaster
of paris thinned to the consistency Of
cream. White vinegar was used "a
place OF water. Where weak places
were shown after the basket was dried
a second solution was added. When
quite dry the basket was striped with
gold paint to which q good amount OF
white Varnish was added. This
strengthened the basket and gave the
desired finish. A very pretty effect is
obtained with green varnish paint and
gilt. Others stippte the white With
fecks of silver. making something
dainty and ornamental for the break
fast table. Quaint candle shades are
made In the same style.

Polly declared she must have some
unusual way of announcing her en-
gagenent. SO after much careful
thought this WAS evolved: The twenty
special friends were asked for a thin
BILE party, and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest found a little envelope on
the plate, and the hostess explained
that inside there would be found a
jumbled lot Of letters, that the letters
of each color would spell one word,
and there was Just one word In each
envelope, and all were the same color
In each envelope, 80 each n made
their word, and the Hight gradually
dawned as the story was toid by the
guests putting their words together.
1t was great fun and ended the after
noon In a most happy manner, as the
little bride elect vas q great favorite.
and she was fairly beaming when all
began to offer good wishes and wanted
to know eaIl about It,"

Those who have dined in restaurants
or hotels hahitually will find that they
have fallen into many unpleasant little
ways, permissible possibly toward a
landlord, but not toward a hostess.
They feel that they have the privilege
both to critiefse openly and to imply
criticism either of the food itself or OF
the way In which it is served. Women
who cherish the ambition of making
poor, forlorn habitues of hotels happy
with home cooking have their hopes
dashed by this ungraeious habit Let
those, too. who have fallen into the
habit of dipping a spoon or fork into a
glass OF water at a restaurant and
then wiping 1t on q napkin before
using it beware of those moments
when they become deeply absorbed in
conversation at the house of a friend
or even at the home table. Could any
habit be more insulting to a h~ostess2
