SAM HGDE TO GO TO THE CHAIR.
May BE the First One to BE Electro
cutcd in This State.
(Anderson Mail, 27th.)


In spite Of his preference, express
rather than electrocuted, 1t seems
now that Samuel N. Hyde, convicted
Of the murder of his wife, Mrs. EN-
ma Beasley Hyde, and who Is to be
resentenced at the May term Of the
Court Of General Sessions hero to
pay the death penalty for his crime,
the State Supreme Court having re-
fused to grant new trial, will die in
the electric chair.
The bill to provide for the estab-
lishment Of an electric chair at the
State penitentiary, and abOlishing
hanging in South Carolina, has been
passed by the General Assembly at
the present session, and becomes q
law with the approval Of the Cover
nor. He has not yet affixed his Off,
cial signature, but inasmuch as he
recommended the enactment .of the
law, this will be Forthcoming soon.
Hyde has several times expressed
his willingness to die since his con-
fnement in the county jail here, but
has horror Of the electric chair, and
has declared that he much pre-
fers death by hanging. He has stated
from the day Of the crime that he
expected to have the rope around his
neck, and when talking about it, with
death staring him In the face, he Is
great deal less concerned than the
person addressed.
Hyde's horror Of death by electric
ity, according to his own statement,
is due to an experience he had with
the current while in the employ Of
the Traction Company here, being Sc
verely shocked, and suffering much
pain because of his contact with the
live wire. It is not death he fears,
but the mode of death that worries
him, and he Is really not worrying
any great deal about that as yet.

FEDERAL DEFICIT $743,185
Was More Than Sixteen Million Dol. lars at End of Last Fis-
 cal Year

Washington, Aug. 3.-The deficit of the federal treasury at the end of the first month of the new fiscal year was $743,t85. Treasury officials joyfully compared this figure with $16,093,440, the deficit for July, 1911.
 There were two factors in the month favorable to the government. Customs receipts exceeded expecta- tions, being nearly $5,000.000 more than in the corresponding month last year. Secondly, the congressional de- lay in passing the deficiency and sup ply bill decreased the expenses of the government nearly $S,000,000, as com pared with July year ago.
 The total receipts for July were S59, ,536,334, and disbursements S60,- 279,518. Receipts for July last year were $52085,o62; disbursements, S6S,- 178,502 Customs receipts for the month just closed were S2S,l36,502, against S23,404553 the previous year.

GIVE ODDS IN MRS. GRACE.
BETS OF 2 TO 1 THAT SHE WILL
 NOT BE CONVICTED.
Court RqIes Husband Cannot Testify Against Wlfe-Woman Refuses
 to Be Sworn.


 Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 3.--Odds of two to one are offered that prepossessing Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, on trial for the attempted murder of her husband, will be acquitted While wagers are being made, and there are far more offers than there are takers, the jurors listened to the oratory of the attor neys on both sides summing up their case.
 It is predicted that the 12 men will not take long to reach conclusion, and that Mrs Grace will walk out of the courtroom free.
 While attorneys for the state pro- fessed to believe that Mrs. Grace's re- fusal to be sworn when she took the stand would strengthen their case, they were generally alone in that be- lief. The majority looked upon it as an extremely clever move, as it en. abled the defendant to riddle the web of circumstantial evidence which had been bound about her, while at the same time 1t prevented her cross-ex- animation by the prosecution.
 The defense also scored a victory when Judge Roan ruled that Grace could not be a witness against his wife, This absolutely prevented any contradiction of Mrs. Grace's allega- tions of cruelty, of attempts on her life by the man she said was shot in scuffle with her and whom she al leged she kept in money from the very moment of their marriage
 Attorneys for the state were insist ent that they would demand the ex- treme penalty for the woman, which is from two to ten years, if convicted and Solicitor Dorsey was bitter in his verbal attack on her character in his summing up. The defense, however, is confident and insists that the states case has been shattered
