friends:
"The only basis for the charge
against me is my bloody clothing

On receiving long cable message
from New York, Beach declared ne

ANOTHER MYSTERY IN AIKEN.
Negro Finds Open Grave From Which
Body Has Been Taken Short
Time Before.

Aiken, April SIN a little pine
grove on the farm of Fabian Summer
al, few miles from Aiken, and in
this county, a negro farm hand, en-
ployed on the place, made a ghastly
discovery. An open grave, from
which body that had not been inter-
red in a coffin, had been recently tax
en-, was found by the negro. A guam
tity of smoking tobacco wrapped in
paper and some scorched cotton car
rying the fumes of sulphur were
found in the open grave
The matter was reported to Mr..
summerall, who with one of the rural
policemen went to the spot. Automo-
bile tracks led nearly to the grave, al
though the pine thicket is removed
from easy access by automobile. There
we're unmistakable signs that the au-
tomobile had made stop at the near
est point to the grave, and that the
grave had held, for a short time, a
human body, which had not been pre-
pared for burial nor protected by a
coffin.
The whole thing is mystery. No
one in the neighborhood knows any
thing about a body having been bu-
ried there, although a negro tenant,
living near the place, reported to the
officers that one night last week he
and his family were disturbd by their
dogs barking, and that they heard an
automobile pass back and forth two or
three times.
The grave seems to have held a
body of grown person and although
they are entirely without clues on
which to proceed, the rural police are
at work on the case in an effort to
unravel the mystery.

PENITENTIARY FUNDS ''TIED Up"
State Money Affected by Lexington
Bank Failure-OutcOme!

Columbia, April 9.-Among the de-
positors when the Lexington Savings
bank went into the hands of a receiver
was the State penitentiary, which had
something like $4,000, and Governor
BIease meant this fund when he refer
red to the State having funds on de-
post in the bank. The outcome of
this is the board of directors of the
penitentiary, composed of A. K. Sand
ers, chairman; W. Jasper Smith, w H.
Glenn, J. D. Deas and John Mobley
are gathering here tonight for a meet
ing tomorrow, at which this matter
will be considered.
All Of the members are present, and
it is expected that the meeting will
take most of the day. The whole mat
ter of the finances of the penitentiary
will likely be gone into by the board
at this meeting.
The penitentiary has been handling
its funds alone, and attention was di-
Tacted to the matter by the Lexington
bank failure and the query arose as to
how the funds we're handled. 1t is
known that Governor Blease, follow
ing his letter to State Bank Examiner
Rhame anent the Lexington Savings
bank, called Chairmna A. K,Sanders,
of the penitentiary board, into consul
tation, and while the object of that
consultation was not given out, it is
believed to have been with reference
to penitentiary finances, and that the
meeting of the board here tomorrow
is the outcome of the situation. The
treasurer, when asked as to how much
money the penitentiary had on hand,
stated that only the surplus was paid
over to the State; that the penitentiary
handled its own finances independent
1y. It is probable, therefore, some
change will be made and that hereafter
only State repositories will receive
the penitentiary funds, although this
latter is only suTmise.
In justice to Superintendent D. J,
Griffith, it should be stated that no
blame is attached to him, but that thB
matter is simply in the limelight as a
result OF the failure Of the Lexington
Savings bank.

NEW POsTOFFICE BUILDING.
Chamber of Commerce Requests Use
Limestone Facing-C. j. Purcell
Sent to Washington.

1t seems that the new pOSIo4IIce
building, under the present contract,
is to have a large part Of the walls
faced with stucco work above the
three layers of granite. The board of
governors of the chamber Of COM
merce, learning of this, Immediately
called a special meeting and passed
resolutions, requesting that the stucco
work be not used and that lime stone
facings or pressed brick be used in the
place of the stucco.
The matter being Of considerable i'm
portance, and as the contractor is now
ready to proceed with that part Of
the building, it was decided to ask
Mr.. c. J. Purcell to go to Washington,
and take the resolutions adopted by
the board Of governors, and have a
conference with Congressman Aiken
to see if the changes desired can be
made.
Mr.. Purcell left for Washington on
Wednesday afternoon.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the board of governors:
Newberry, S. c.,
Chamber of Commerce, April 9, 1912.
At special meeting of the board Of
governors of the chamber Of commerce,
of Newberry, S. c., consisting Of John
NJ. Kinard, president; James P.
Shelley, 1st vice president; C. D.
Weeks, End vice president; Clarence
T. Summer, treasurer; John B. Mayes,
Chas. E. Summer, S. NJ. Duncan, w.
G. Mayes, Lambert W. Jones, Ebert
H. Aull, this resolution was passed:
Whereas, We notice that the con-
of our new postofice build
ing has progressed somewhat above
the foundation, showing an unusually
handsome base, or part Of first story
of three layers Of granite, and learn
ing that a large part OF the walls
above same are intended to be faced
with stucco work, which, in our judg-
ment, is not in accord with the hand
some and substantial nature of
the base, or the building as a whole.
Now, therefore, be it resolved: 1.
That we suggest and request that the
in charge Of the construc-
ton of the postofice building do or
der that limestone facings be made On
all the wall above the three layers of
granite base now in same, as being
more finished and substantial, and
hence more appropriate to the dignity
of such building as whole.
2 That we request our congress
man, Hon Wyatt Aiken, to make this
request for US, and the cost Of such
change from stucco work to limestone
be paid for out of any balance left on
hand from the 100000 appropriation
for this postofice building at Newber-
ry, S. c., and in case the balance of
the appropriation on hand be not
sufficient for additional cost of this
limestone facing, then that we suggest
the gray pressed brick be used for the
rest of the facing.

The coat seeing the success of the dearly-admired bodice, decided to fol- low it's example and get away from the clothes line. He cid, after many minutes hard work, get one clothes pin off. but the other hung. Want some help, useless Captain?" asked the apron ironically. But without in tending to do so, one of it's long, frost stiffened strings flew up and struck the remaining clothespin sharp blow and off it went, falling to the ground. The wind had done this without the aprons knowledge, and after it was too late, the apron regretted the act ex- ceedingly. She, naughty, mischievous thing, loved to see her friends of-the play-room in trouble. She had seen with qualification the bodice fly away, and had hoped to enjoy the coats helplessly remaining behind. But the wind was too kind to not understand the "Captain's" desire to go where peace might reign, and accordingly did him a good turn.
 Away waited the coat, going directly after the bodice. And they continued on their way, the bodice leading by a hundred yards. the coat following. They rode on the wind, and their course was directed towards the far-away farm house beyond the hills. They were all day long making the journey. for occasionally the wind on which they rode got tired and lay down in the dead grass. Then the bodice and the coat would take seat on some
