Dorchester Lawyer Urged for Judge
ship in First Circuit.

St. George, October l7.-Special:
The following resolution, endorsing
NJ. S. Connor, Esq, of St. George, fol-
the Judgeship of the 1st circuit, was
unanimously adopted by the Demo
cratic executive committee this morn
ing:
whereas, there is vacancy in
the Judgeship of the lst judicial cir
cult of South Carolina on account OF
the resignation OF the Hon. Robert E.
Copes; and
"Whereas, the Hon. N. S. Connor,
Of St. George, has consented to allow
his name to be presented to the Gen
eral Assembly to FL such vacancy;
and
Whereas, in character, ability, le-
gal attainments, experience and tenn
permanent, Mr.. Connor is eminently
fitted to discharge fairly and fearless
iy the important duties of the eX-
alted position: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee Of Dorchester
county heartily and unanimously en-
dorses Mr.. Connor, and commends
him to the General Assembly as one
fitted in every way to fill such posi-
ton creditably and satisfactorily"
Mr.. Connor's friends, who are &C
lively engaged in an effort to elevate
him to the judiciary, are daily recelV-
ing encouraging assurances Of sup
port. Aside from the fact that they
will present to the General Assembly
lawyer of distinguished ability,
they advance the argument that Or
angeburg County has always controll-
ed the judicial machinery of the cir
cult, and that the other counties
should be shown some consideration.
Mr.. Connor has been the chairman Of
the executive committee for num-
Der of years. He expressed in brief,
although appropriate, terms his ap-
probation of the expression of conf
dence on the part Ct those with
whom he has worked in the interest
OF the Democracy Of the county.

LYON STRONG IN DEFEAT.
Attorney General Has a Word fol-
South Carolinians.

Attorney General J. Fraser Lyon
who was defeated for reelection by
Thos. H. Peoples, in statement is
sued thanking the people Of the State
for having honored him for three
successive terms with the Office of At
torney General, pays a tribute to the
press of South Carolina, saying:
"I wish to thank the people OF
South Carolina for the honors they
have given me during the past six
years. I am deeply grateful for the
confidence and trust they have repos-
ed in me and to the press OF the
State take this opportunity Of say
ing that when my labors for what l
conceived to be for the public good
seemed vain it was the encourage
ment of that great power, always ex-
erted for civic righteousness, that
gave me strength and determination
to pressforward and attain whatever
of good I may have accomplished. I
firmly believe that with the efforts OF
such an incorruE and incorruptible
press as our State is now blessed
with, respect for law and full ap-
probation of good government will
finally prevail. I also admonish ev-
cry lover of law and order that this
is not the time to despair. we should
press toward the goal with renewed
enerygy. To those who gave me their
in this summers primaries
I extend my sincerest thanks, and to
those who were not my supporters l
with equal sincerity say that l hope
your action will prove for the best
interest of the State We all love"

AROUSED BY SERMON.
Negro Hugs Negro Preacher So Hard
That He Dies.

A negro preacher living near Pavo,
Ca, has been literally hugged to
death. The negro had gone to a
church in that county to hold a pro-
tracted meeting and was doing we'll
in his exhortations to better living
for the hundreds congregated to lis
ten and shout
The religious fervor of the negro
mounts to tremendous pitch, but on
this occasion it reached the pinnacle
and during the great frenzy Of en-
thusiasn one OF the husky brothers
of the congregation went into the
pulpit and grabbed the minister. He
hugged him like the proverbial bear,
the excitement lending him added
strength.
The preacher took the expression
of religious fervor without finching,
but when he got home he began to
feel dire effects from the squeeze. In
a few days he died, internal disar-
rangements resulting, from his ex-
perience. The style and custom OF
the religion of the negroes OF that
vicinity is going to be radically
changed.

Lyon fer Attorney General.
Lyon fer Attorney General.

With 43,427 votes accounted for,
out of possible $4,000 cast in the
primary Tuesday to nominate an At
lorney General for South Carolina, II
appears that Mr.. Thomas H. Peoples
Of Blackville, has a lead Of about
400 over his opponent, the Hon. j
Fraser Lyon, incumbent. The re,
turns, as presented by The News and
Courier are scattering, covering all
the counties except four, but lncom'
plete in almost all. They are, Pee
pies 23,036 and Lyon 20,391.
From the reports received Tuesday
night, the most striking feature OF
the election was the apparent lack
of interest all over the State, but
few Of the counties casting votes that
r,ight bear any kind of comparison
with the poll of the first primary
There were possibly one hundred OF
more polling places in various coun'
ties which were not open Tuesday
the managers failing to call for the
| boxes. In one county alone, Green
vile, there was no voting at nineteen
precincts.
The reports indicate that the lead
already held by Mr.. Peoples will be
increased by later returns from the
more remote precincts, and that his
nomination seems assured. Mr.. Pee
pies is an adherent OF GoVerno!
Blease, while Mr.. Lyon is known as
political opponent Of the Governor
Mr. Lyon has held the Office OF At
torney-General for six years, having
come into prominence by the service
he rendered while member of the
General Assembly in ferreting out the
corruption and graft in connection
with the late State dispensary. /,
appears that the vote Tuesday was a
little more than half that cast in the
first primary on August q, approx
mately 100000 having been polleo
on that day.
On the face Of the returns Peoples
has carried by safe maiorities the
counties of Charleston, Colleton, Dor:
chester, Jasper, Laurens, Lexington
Richland and Spartanburg, and in
the following counties appears to
have a good lead: AbbevilIe, Ander'
SON, Barnwell, Cherokee, Clarendon
| Newberry.
Lyon has clear majority in the
counties Of Calhoun, Darlington, Dill
lon, Edgefeld, Greenville, Marion
Marlboro and Sumter.
In the remaining counties the vote
| /. very close, or the returns are sc
! inadequate that with them it is I'M
possible to state which Of the two
candidates has majority. The re-
suits in many places will not be as
certained until the boxes are dellv'
cred at the county seats.

SHOOTS HER HUSBAND.
Then Kills Herself in Their Home al
AdeI, Ca, Sunday.

At Adel, Ca, the dead bodies OF
NJ. A. Crosby, cashier of the Bank OF
Adel, and his wife were found in their
bedroom Sunday morning by their
six-year-old son.
The woman was lying on the floor
with a 3S-caliber revolver tightly
clasped in her cold fingers, and a
bullet through her brain. Crosby
was in bed with the covers still
drawn over him and had met his
death by a shot in the right eye.
The little lad, fearful, ran to
neighbors and upon the discovery OF
be tragedy, the coroner's inquest was
held. The verdict held that both had
come to their death at the hands Of
Mrs. Crosby. Sudden insanity on the
part of the woman caused the trag-
edy is the only solution that intimate
friends can offer. She had been
somewhat despondent for some time
because of slightly failing health.
The couple lived happily as far as
is known. The will of the dead man
was found in a bureau drawer. It
left everything to his wife and chill
dren. Crosby was prominent and
more than ordinarily well-to-do.

KILLED WHILE OUT HUNTING.
Cherokee County Young Man Victim
Of Accident.

Coroner J. S. Vinsett received in
formation from the Gowdesville Sec
ton Of Cherokee county Monday af-
ternoon, that young white man
named Blackwood had been shot and
killed by his cousin. 1t seems that
the two young men, each about twen-
ty years of age, were out hunting at
the time of the accident, shortly af-
ter dinner, and that BlackWood hand
ed his gun to his cousin to hold, and
while in his hands, the weapon was
discharged. A physician was sum-
moned from Gaffney, but before he
reached the scene the young man was
dead. The name of the cousin can
not be ascertained. Before he died
Blackwood made a statement that
the shooting was purely accidental
and that no blame attached to his
cousin, and in view of this state
ment, the coroner decided that no in
quest was necessary.

HUGH @. LONG CLAIMS HE SHOT
IN SELF DEFENSE.
He Declares That Majority Of the
People in Aiken County are
Friendly to Him.

The Gazette, published at Gas
tcLia, N. c., publishes letter from

County, N. C. Here is Longs letter
tc the Gazette:
Columbia, S. C.
The Gazette, Gastonia, \. C.
My. Dear Sirs: Please excuse me
for not answering your telegram to
me at Aiken. I have had an expert
ence that surpasses many of the sto-
| ries, but it is too long to tell unless
I had the time and a good typewrit-
er, and my typewriter was torn up
by the druken mob. I do not care to
make a statement for publication
| other than to say that I have done
only that which saved my own life.
It. is much better for my defense than
the public yet knows. 1 will give
| bond in few days and take a trip to
| North Carolina. I was so worried by
all kinds of callers in Aiken who
wanted to see me from curiosity,
wanted to give me money, cigars, etc.,
that I decided to come to the peni-
tentiary night before last.
I have the friendship and sympa-
thy OF probably Is to 80 per cent. OF
the best people Of Aiken county, and
the mob was a drunken crowd melted
by eight or ten men who led them.
I don't care for any newspaper article
on the subject, only you may assure
! my friends in CASTOR County that /
am all right now and will not be sub
jected to any punishment for the kill
ing and that I will be member OF
the next South Carolina legislature.
appreciate the interest Of my
friends. I will later tell the whole
story and it would make thrilling
novel but just now I am still suffer
ing some from the secret assault and
for other reasons prefer to be quiet,
With many thinks,
Hugh Long.
Another North Carolina paper, the
Monroe Courier, says: MT. ana
Mrs. w. G. Long returned last night
from Aiken, S. c., where they had
been with their son, Mr.. Hugh Long,
whose trouble is told Of in this paper.
Mr.. Hugh Longs wife and baby ac-
ccmpanied them home. Mr.. Long
said that he found affairs better than
he expected, and that the facts are
such as to make the shooting Of Pick
ems Gunter by Hugh Long an act of
self-defence. Gunter attacked Long,
it is said, while Long was reading a
paper, struck him on the back Of the
| head with a stick and knocked him
down and jumped on him and was
beating him terribly when the shot
was fired. Longs face is badly bruis-
ed and swollen and Mr.. Long says
| that he does not see how his son
could see to fire shot so badly
beaten are his eyes and face. Mr..
tLong has not been locked up in Jail,
but has merely been under guard in
the sitting room. He is now in the
penitentiary at Columbia, having left
yesterday for that place. Mr. Long
says that he is sure his son will be at
home in a few days, as he will be al
| lowed to give bail"

ENSIGN BUTLER DROWNED.
Was Going to His Ship in New York
Harbor on Sunday.

At New York Ensign Andes Haid-

ed States Naval Academy from which
he was graduated last spring, was
drowned in the Hudson river Sunday
while returning to his post on the
batleship Rhode Island in the line Of
the great Atlantic armada, at anchor
in New York harbor for presidential
review. In another accident on the
river, six sailors from the oattleship
Maine, rescued eleven persons from
downing. 1t is estimated that 200,-
600 sightseers, many attracted from
remote sections of the country, board
eG the larger ships of the feet and
that more than 100000 persons
viewed the fleet from shore during
the day and when the ships were

BRUTISH FIEND IS CAUGHT
He Confesses to the Murder OF Two
Little Girls

If the story which George Brown
Spengler told Monday night proves
to be true, then a crime mystery
which has puzzled the Detroit police
for nearly three years has been clear
ed up. Spengler, laborer, 80 years
old, described as a moral perVert,
was arrested in connection with the
murder Of 12-year-old Matilda Refs
whose mutilated body was found IN
an alley near her home in Detroit
last Tuesday. He confessed not only
to having killed and mistreated this
child, but told the police he also mis-
treated and murdered '1elen Brown,
II years old, whose n ~ was found
in coal yard on December II, 1909.
Four other girls have been attacked
in Detroit in the last 13 months.
One Of them was permanently in1ur-
ed and the other less seriously hurt.
Spengler admits responsibility for
two Of these offenses. In each case
the child was attacked as she was a.
sleep in her parents home.

FOOTPRINT AS EVIDENCE.
Preserved With Cement, to be Used
in Murder Trial.

Foot tracks left by the fleeing muir
derer in muddy field and later dug
up and their form presedved with
cement, will figure in the trial at
Salem, y. j.. this week of William
Trusty, a negro, accused Of killing
Clinton Dubois, farmer, last June.
Shoes found in Trusty's cottage are
said to fit the footprints. Sheriff
Ayres had the soil in which were two
of the most perfect tracks covered
with cement and then sprayed with
water. Negroes have raised $500 and
engaged Senator Warren Davis to de-
fend Trusty
