ACCEPT COMPROMISES.
Plans to Wind-up Affairs of Defunct
Leesville Bank.

Lexington, Jan. 23.-At a meeting
of depositors of the Peoples Bank,
of Leesville, which closed its doors
on November 27 last year, held in
the town hall at Leesville to-day
the depositors decided to accept a
compromise offer of $4,000 from the
relatives of DR.. E. J. Etheridge, the
former president of the defunct insti-
tuition whose Indebtedness to the
bank amounted to about $4,000,
This means, it is understood, that the
depositors will receive so cents on
the dollar, this amount to be paid
out on Saturday next.
A committee of three, consisting
of J. P. Able, D. ]. S. Derrick and
Attorney E. L. Asbill, was named to
marshal the assets and collect the
funds as rapidly as possible. The
committee is to have three months
in which to wind up the affairs of
the bank, but those who have been
in close touch with the situation de-
clare that il will take much longer
period to close up the business.
The meeting to-day was attended
by stormy periods, certain depositors
objecting strenuously to the compro-
mise. The acceptance of the COM
promise means that the former presi-
dent, DR.. Etheridge, will be relieved
of all obligations and that no GRIM
inal proceedings will be instituted.
While the depositors will receive dol
lar for dollar, it is generally conced-
ed that the stockholders will lose all.

made a murderous assault upon a
Mrs. Bessie Sealy, of Cherokee
Springs, Spartanburg county. Mrs.
Sealy was visiting Turner's daugh-
ters at their town house, while sis
was at the country place, few miles
from town. Evidently resenting the
presence of the visitor at Turner S
home, isis" hooked up a mule and
drove to town. Finding Mrs. Sealy
seated in the house, Sis flew upon
her with a bottle, inflicting a num-
ber of painful cuts on the head. The
combined efforts of three women
were required to get her off the vic
tim and she was ''stood' with a pis-
tol until the police arrived. DR.. }.
n. Nesbitt was summoned and rem
dered Mrs. Sealy medical assistance.

not fatal.

KILLED WHALE IN RIVER.
Monster Stranded on Bar is Attacked
by Japanese.

An extraordinary event is reported
from Sin Anju, a railway town in
north Pyong-an province, in the Sc
oul Press. About noon when the tide
was high, villagers at Wangpong Ii,
Tong Kyon, in the Kasan district (of
the same province) were amazed to
see a big black object swimming in
the River Tailyong, running near by.
They did not know what the mon
ster was and watched it's movements
with great excitement and interest.
Soon after, the monster sent up a
column of water and disappeared.
On the following morning at about
7 o'clock Tomizo Tashiro, jap
anese railway linesman in service at
Sin Anju station, while patrolling
the line, was astonished to see a
whale struggling to go down stream
at a point about five cho above the
railway bridge on the Tallyong riv-
er. 1t was low tide and the water
having considerably receded the riv-
er was only about five feet deep.
The whale had evidently stranded on
shallow place and was unable to
move.
Tashiro was overjoyed to find the
unexpected spoil and tried to kill it
by firing at it with fowling piece
he was carrying. He fired at it 1S
times, but the whale seemed to be
none the worse in consequence.
Tashiro concluded that it would not
do to try to kill it in that way and
running to the nearest village COL
lected several Koreans, told them of
his find, and each armed with an
axe, they returned to the spot.
The whale was still there, the
water having further receded. They
rushed into the stream and by strik-
ing the monster on the head with the
axes they at last succeeded in killing
it. The whale was about 35 feet in
length and was valued at about 1000
yen.

w. L. Glaze was to-day elected
Judge of the first judicial circuit on
the third ballot. There were four
other in the race-Octavus Cohen, of
Berkeley; E. J. Dennis, of Berkeley;
P. T. Hildebrand, of Orangeburg;
and M. S. Connor, of St. George. The
name of Mr.. Cohen was withdrawn

the second, leaving the third ballot
between Messrs. Dennis and Glaze.
Of the 159 votes cast on the ballot,
Mr.. Glaze received 81 votes and Mr..

Judge Ernest Gary, of Columbia,
having no opposition, was reelected
Judge of the fifth judicial circuit.
Major w. L. Glaze has been for
many years prominent lawyer at the
Orangeburg bar. He was formerly
the partner of the late Judge Izlar in
the firm of Izlar, Glaze &. Herbert.

May Not Accept.
In spite of the very flatterlng elec-
ton by the general assembly when he
was not a candidate before that body,
and after positively declaring that he
would not be a candidate, nor accept
the position if offered to him, there is
vet some doubt about his acceptance
of the judicial ermin, and his friends
have been able to secure from him no
more than a promise that he will not
now state that he will not accept the
election and serve the State.
Many friends, including those who
were urging and advocating the elec-
tion of Mr.. Octavus Cohen, have been
busy since the election in an effort to
persuade Major Glaze to accept, as
they all feel that in Major Glaze the
State would have an ideal judge.
= Major Glaze is in the city for the
purpose of attending the meeting OF
the State bar association, in which he
is an active member. To reporter
for the Record he said that were he
ten years Younger, and in good
health, he would have no hesjtancy
in accepting the very great honor
that has been conferred on him, but
he doubts his physical ability to stand
the strain that would be put upon
him in the judgeship. He recognizes
the duty of any son of the State to
respond to a call for service, II ne
be able to give it, and such questions
as these, rather than personal inclln-
alton, govern and will govern him in
this decision.

Rumor That Speer
Will Be Exonorated

Atlanta, Sept. 23-On the eve
of the announcement that the
Congressional committee on judi
ciary is about to come to Georgia
to take testimony in connection
with the charges against Judge
Emory Speer, rumor is circulating
around Atlanta that the accusations
against the Georgia federal judge
are losing in the strength as they
are being further investigated and
that the accusers themselves are
not quite so fiery as they were at
first. RS
1t is possible that this rumor
traces itself to- the statement by
members of the committee that the
charges are not backed strongly.
1t may have been put out by
friends Of the Judge. Wherever
it cameron, it is going the rounds
as a prediction. that Judge Speer
will be exonerated, and it is re-
corded here, as a rumor, for what
it is worth.

Mother Saves
Boy From Burn:
Ing To Death

Atlanta, Sept. 23-Mrs. e. g..
Battle, OF 206 Rawson street near
ly sacrificed her life in the flames
last night when she endeavored to
save her two year old son from
burning. The child had fallen in
an open fireplace and was a mass
of flames. The mother seized it
and endeavored to smother the
flames against her own body, with
the result that her clothing caught
fire. Both blazing forms, however
we're rolled in blankets and the
fire extinguished. The child is
badly burned, but will recover.
The mother received serious burns
only on the hands and arms. She
refused to have her own wounds
touched or treated until the little
boy had been taken to the hospital
and everything possible done to
alleviate his suffering.

M'Naushton Decision
Is Expected Saturday

Atlanta, Sept. %. Unless
something extraordinary arises to
prevent, which is not anticipated.
Governor Slaton will make his
decision in the McNauqhtOn case
Saturday. 1t is more than pro-
bable that he will render writ
ten opinion in the famous case.
He stated this morning that
he had received a communication
relative to the story from Savan-
nah to the effect that a written
affidavit was in existence made
by the late DR.. Green Bell to the
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
setting up that Fred Flanders
died of uremic poisoning. This
affidavit, or rather its existence,
is said to have been discovered
by Judge Frank Saffold.
Governor Slaton said he did
not know if this affidavit could
be procured and placed in evil
dence. He made it plain that he
did not intend to further post.

without unusual circumstances
demanded it. The respite for
McNaughton ends on October 3.
This case is giving the COVER
nor some serious hours. He has
studied the records closely more
than once, burning midnight oil
in the task.
The opinion is growing that at
the outside, he will not more
than grant communication. Some
believe he may not even go that
far, but will allow the law to
take it's course.

Woman Drinks Poison
On Train To Albany

Moultrie, Ca. Sept. 22.-Mrs.
Oscar Golden, of Doerun, COM
:nitted suicide on a Georgia
Northern passenger train this
morning by drinking the con-
tents of a four ounce bottle OF
carbolic acid. That the despon-
dent woman had planned care
fully to take her own life was
evidenced by the contents OF a
note that she had pinned to her
dress just above her heart. In
the note she stated that the reas-
on she purchased a ticket to AL
bany was that she wanted to give
the deadly fluid an opportunity
to do its work without the inter-
ference of medical aid that might
be summoned.
She gave instructions as to the
disposition of her body and asked
that her funeral be preached by
her pastor and that she be dres-
sed in white with white gloves.
At the bottom of the note. which
was written with a steady hand,
she asked that the 60 cents that
remained in her purse be divided
between her two young sons.
Mrs. Golden did not intimate
why she was tired of life.

G. G. Jordan Chairman
Of ". A. Committee

Atlanta Sept. 23-The 0agnani-
nous willingl ess of Barry Wright
and Judge j. w. L. Brown to
abrogate their respective claims to
the general chairmanship, of the
joint Western & Atlantic legisla-
tive committee saved a serious
split on that board when it was
formally organized at the capital.
The friends of Representative
Barry Wright who was chairman
of the house committee, had ex-
pected that Mr.. Wright would be
chairman of the general committee
not SO much because Mr.. Wright
was chairman of the house com.
mittee, but because of the fat t
that he was one OF the first men
in either branch of the legislatu e
to study the w. & A. question
deeply, and because he probably
knows more about its details and
complications than any other mem.
bers.
1t turned out, however, that
Judge Browns friends thought
he was entitled to the general
Craftsmanship since he was chair
man of the senate committee.
1t began to be evident, therefore
that there might be painful and
unpleasant split at the joint organi-
zation session. But the name of
G. Gunby Jordan of Columbus
was suggested as a compromise
general chairman and Representa-
tive Wright Immediately accepted
the suggestion in good spirit and
asked that his own name be with
drawn from nomination. Mr..
Wright seconded the nomination
of Jordan. Judge Brown followed
with a request that his name be
not considered, and also seconded
the Jordan nomination. Mr.. ,Jor-
dan was consequently elected, and
all are satisfied. Mr.. Wright was
Immediately made secretary of.the
commission; so that it will have
the full value of his Investigations

Electricity For
Fertilization Purposes

Atlanta, Georgia. To electrify
the Georgia peach is a plan which
leading farmers and growers of
this state are seriously considering
following the successful application
of electricity to fruit raising in
other parts of the country. They
are planning to galvanize Miss
Elberta.
Since X-ray gowns and slit skirts
came into style, the Georgia Peach
after a manner of speaking, has
been shocking the people, but now
the people plan to turn the tables
and shock the peach.
However, it is real fruit they
are talking about, and the term
shock may be a little too strong to
describe the real process. Raising
vegetables, grains and fruit by
electrifYing the soil is the latest
in scientific farming. 1t has been
demonstrated that electrical current
is a great fertilizer, AID that when
the current is turned into the
ground it makes things grow faster
and better. For instance, in the
early spring, when one wants to
force radishes and onions, the cur
rent is applied frequently, and
those vino have tried it say that
you can almost see things grow.
Now that the tower Inns of tt e
Georgia Railway & Power Com
pany are carrying the current from
Tallulah into all sections of the
state, including rural sections,
Georgia farmers will have practical
opportunity to avail themselves of
these latest scientific discoveries.

Predicts Huerta As
Savior Of Mexico

Atlanta, Sept. PAT h a t
Huerta may become the savior
of Mexico by the strength of
militarism and the use of an iron
hand like that of Porfirio DIAL
is predicted in a mastery article
in the current issue of Frost's
magazine, 1.-The Call of the
South,'' by Judge Henry l..
Bradford. a prominent jurist and
author, of the Pacific coast.
Judge Bradford does not con-
done or discuss the alleged cruel
ty by which Huerta climbed to
the presidents chair. He simply
faces the fact Huerta is gradual
~ getting a grip on affairs.
After reviewing the era of pros
perity that marked the presi-
dency of Porfrio Diaz. the writer
compares it to the state of insur-
rectiOn and material distress
which the country has been in
since DiaZ's overthrow, and says
that the condition Of Mexico is
such that the disorder must con-
tinue until another man with an
iron hand takes hold of the reins
Of government. He sees some
indications that Huerta may be
this man.
Judge Bradford concludes his
article with the following para
graph:
TO those Americans living in
the disturbed district and those
living on the American side of
the border, the situation looks
critical. But it should be given
an opportunity to right itself.
The time for Intervention is over;
that should have been done, if at
all. when Madero began his work
of destruction. There is now
little or nothing left to destroy,
The present government is doing
all within its power to repair the
damage.
1.-The iron hand solong relaxed
by Diaz, is again being invoked
in the pacification of the country.
Militarism, so long neglected,
will again prevail as the only
means of insuring another pro-
longed era of peace and prosper
ity in our neighboring republic. {"

Law Requiring Report
Is Still In Effect

Atlanta Sept. %. -ContrarY t.
the general opinion some of the
papers having printed a story to
the effect that no more reports
we're necessary-the attorney gen.
eral has rendered the comptroller
general an opinion to the effect
that the law of 1912 requiring
county and state officials receiving
fees to file quarterly reports with
the comptroller, is still of effect
and will be until repealed by
legislative act.
The sheriff and county clerk of
Tiff raised the question by inquiry
and Comptroller Wright referred
the matter to Attorney General
Fielder for an opinion.
Mr.. Fielder holds that the law is
continuing in effect and that the
quarterly reports must be made
regularly until the law is repealed.
Heretofore it has been thought
that the act applied only for the
first quarter of 1918, but this is
error.
This is a matter of general in
terest and Importance to county
officials all over the state.
