Convicted After Facing a
Jury For Third Time.
Young Man Who was Convicted
of the Murder of His Aged
Father, at Jonesville, Will
Spend the Balance of His
Natural Life Behind Prison
DOOrs-Crime was the Most
Brutal Ever Committed in
Union County.

The verdict of the jury in the case
of Harry Coleman, charged with the
murder of his father, Robert Cole
man, was, guilty, with recommen-
dation to mercy" This means that
he escapes the electric chair, and re-
ceives life sentence. Sentence was
imposed by Judge DeVore on Friday
morning. In sentencing the prisoner,
Judge DeVore said: Harry Cole
man, stand up. A good jury has said
that you did this horrible crime. If
SO you have committed most shock
ing crime. The jury has shown you
mercy that you denied your father.
Your father was good man. His
murder was shockingly brutal. Peo-
pie called your father "Uncle Bob"
and he would have done anything in
the world for your welfare. Your
wild life has brought all this upon
yeu. For the balance of your life
you will be in the company of con-
victs. You have been adjudged too
dangerous man to go at large. The
sentence of the court is fixed by law
is that you be confined at hard labor
in the State penitentiary the balance
Of your natural life"
Among the cases that came up last
week and was postponed to the next
term of court was that of Russell
Gibson, charged with the murder of
X. l.. Henderson at sLockhart, Gibson
acting at the time of the killing as
sworn deputy. BY inadvertance last
week the Times confused the name of
Boyd Gibson with that of Russell
Gibson. There was no charge
against Boyd Gibson, but one against
Russell Gibson. This statement is
made lest some one should have mis-
understood and by reason of the
Times report connect the wrong man
with the case.

EFFORTS TO GET BETTER MAIL SERVICE
Rural Routes Throughout County May be Changed and
and Increased in Number-Inspectors From Washington
Have Completed Trip Over Various Proposed
Routes Throughout the County.

Efforts are being made to improve
the rural mail service throughout
Union county. AS a result of the
movement to improve these routesS
inspectors from the post Office de-
partment have recently gone over the
various routes and proposed routes
throughout the county.
Recently a committee appointed by
the chamber of commerce here went
before the county commissioners to
urge the improvement of a number
of roads throughout the county so as
to meet the requirements of the post
office department as to good roads.
wherever rural carrier must needs
go. This committee was composed
of the following prominent citizens
of Union: Capt. F. M. Farr, Messrs.
E. Nicholson, R. P. Morgan, L. ].
Hames, R. P. Harry, R. L. McNally,
S. R. Aycock, w. F. Gillian and ].
Cohen. The county commissioners
looked with favor upon the requests
made by the committee, and it is
probable that the roads will be put in
shape.
1t is proposed that the four old
routes leading out of Union be
changed and heightened and that
four new routes out of Union be es-
tablished, making eight in all. 1t is
also proposed that each of the other
centres from which routes are estab-
lished throughout the county be also
rearranged and improved, and where
new routes are needed, have them
instituted. The idea is to get better
mail service throughout the county.
The following are the eight pro-
posed routes out of Union:
Route Via Beaty's bridge, going
by the Mobley place, then the Dun
can place, across Gist's bridge and
back to Union, taking in Goshen
Hill section as far down as Frank
Mabin's, and as high up as Clough
Rice's, by loop route serving Co
shen Hill froa; Whitmire.
Route Gross Minter's bridge,
up through Mr.. Wylie Humphries'
pasture, to Cedar Bluff and back to
town, with loop route starting
from intersection of Sedalia road
and the new road through the Hum
phries pasture; and another loop
route where this road intersects at
the Graham place. These two loop
routes will be served by carriers
whose mail will be prepared at the
Union postoffice, and they will begin
at once to distribute the mail as they
go on their circuits, one taking the
upper and the other the lower cir
cuit-thus giving all of this section
a daily service.
Route 8 will go from here via Buff
faIo and Rice's bridge, taking left
through Meadorwoods, via Peake
place and w. s. Lawson's to Meador
road near Cedar Bluff bridge, thence
via Sims cross road to Murphys
Mill bridge thence through Peake
place via L. e. Hodges to Office.
Route No. 4 win have very little
changes in the present route Of No.
