UGLY LOOKING CASE.

]. A. Miller, who represents himself
as a vaudeville artist, Pharr Baker, 6
photographer and Mrs. Susan Craw-
ford, who conducts a boarding house
all Of Rock Hill, were arrested last Sat-
urday under warrants issued by Mag
istrate T. B. Glenn, on charges that
look quite ugly.
In the warrants 1t Is set forth that
the three parties named conspired to-
gether in inveigling three little girls to
the house Of Mrs. Crawford, where the
three little girls by means Of force and
'rsuasion were made to pose for nude
pictures.
According to the facts so far devel-
oped 1t appears that the alleged offense
originated with Miller and that the
other two gave their assistance at his
instigation and for hire paid or prom
ised to be paid by him.
Miller was committed to jail. Baker
was released on a 5000 bond and the
Crawford woman was released on her
own recognizance.
Baker told the whole ugly story as
far as lie knew 1t and when the solici-
tor decided to make a state witness OF
Baker, Miller plead guilty. Mrs. Craw-
ford failed to show up at court and the
understanding is that she has skipped

longing to the Palmetto State does not
stop with her delegation. Governor
Wilson has had many friends and ad-
visers and well-wishers in South Caro-
lima, chief among whom we would rank
Capt. w. e. Gonzales of the Columbia
State. Not only has Capt. Gonzales
supported Governor Wilson Loyalty and
ably through the columns of his news
papers, but he has spent much time in
New York, Washington and Baltimore,
doing yeoman service for his candidate

should receive conspicuous recognition.
News and Courier.
Yes, we say amen to this. We had
this very fact in mind when we said
what we did about the part played by
the country press. Capt. Gonzales did
splendid service for Wilson through his
paper and otherwise and it is reason
ably certain that had he stood for some
other nominee Governor Wilson would
have failed. Another thing that occurs
to us in this connection is the magnan-
imous spirit of the News and Courier
in giving credit where credit Is due.

Nine Camorists GuiIty.-The verdi

Nine Canorists Guilty.-The verdict
in the Camora trial was handed
down today. Nine of the accused
were unanimously declared guilty OF
the murder of Genarro Guoccolo and
his wife. The remainder Of the band
were found guilty Of belonging to
criminal association.
1t had been said yesterday that the
conclusion Of the notable two-years
trial still was several days of, but
there came a change In the situation
and as word was flashed that today
might witness the jury's verdict, rela-
tives of the accused fiocked into town,
bringing offerings for the Madona
and Saint Rosa, Viterbo's patron.
Most of them took up their posi-
tions early today in the church facing
the court house where they remained
kneelng, beating their breasts and i'm
ploring mercy for their beloved ones.
The presiding judge resumed his
summing up Of the evidence with
fresh vigor today. taking the greatest
pains to explain to the jury the eX-
act position of the accused and the
significance of each of the ia ques-
tions which the jury must answer.
All the accused maintain an abso-
lutte calm demeanor. Only VitoZzi, the
priest known as "the guardian angel
of the Camorra," displays any Find Of
shame at being forced to enter the
iron cage with the other prise ners.
He mutters prayers all tie time,
saying. II am in the hands of God and
of the JURORS, whom 1 pray the AL
mighty to illuminate" Italy

People who do not know Editor
Smoak of the Walterboro Press and
Standard may take it from us that he
is just as clean and square a man as is
to be found in the state. That he pub
lished an unfounded rumor about Gov
ernor Blease. which rumor ought not to
have been published Is true. 1t Is also
true that he made a correction as soon
as he was advised of the facts. 1t is
easy enough to say that Mr. Smoak
made his correction through fear; but
knowing him as we do, we do not see it
that way. The only thing that would
make Mr. Smoak take any statement
back would be satisfactory assurance
that such statement was incorrect.
There are editors and others who have
neither the manhood nor courage to do
this; but Mr.. Smoak is not that kind.

John G. Capers, Of Washington,
and Republican national committeeman
from South Carolina, says he will not
bolt the ticket with Col. Roosevelt, but
will support Mr.. Taft. Quite philiso-
phically he recalls the fact that four
years ago he was with the majority
that engineered the steam roller over
the minority, and now that he has been
administered a dose Of the same he
will take his medicine. He says, and
quite truthfully that there are steam
rollers in both parties and it will al
ways be so as long as voting commit
tees arrange for new conventions.

woman was seen absolutely groveling
in the mud, moaning and groaning.
She was a piteous sight, covered with
mud from head to foot, the result Of
living in a hole in the ground during
rain and storm. Asked what was the
matter she replied that she had lost
her rice bowl and until it was found
her lamentations continued. When re-
covered, the rice bowl was sent to the
gate keepers for food. but before it
could arrive the poor creature was
dead. Such sights were but too COM
mon. The thatch from the roofs of
huts was frequently eaten as food,
and inside all was bare, the only at

small bundle of straw for the old
woman of the house to lie upon. Bark
of trees had been eaten, everything in
fact that could be chewed. The tale
of misery could be prolonged indefi-

but $363,621.OO is in circulation and
the balance held in the treasury vaults

ago by sS4,500,000. Treasury officials,
estimating that the population has
grown to 1886, 900, which to last Mon
