In the police court Monday Geo.
Shaw, colored, was found guilty of
transporting liquor for unlawful
purposes and was sentenced to pay

James was also convicted Of storing
liquor and was given q choice be-
tween a fine of $50 and 80 days.
Rees James who had also been ar
rested was found not guilty and was
dismissed.
Rees, who has been up in the Re-
corder's court a number of times on
various charges in connection with
illegal liquor traffic, claimed that he
had refused tC receive the liquor
from Shaw as the latter had declined
to make terms which he considered
suitable. Shaw had, however, placed
the liquor in his house while he was
not at home and without his consent.
Both negroes paid their fines. The
arrests were made by officer H. G..
McKagen on Saturday.

TO RIDE BOTH WAYS.
President Will Observe Ancient Gus
tom of Returning From Inugural
With New Executive

Washington, Jan. 21.-White House
officials announced tonight that Presi-
dent Taft expects to observe one of
the ancient customs Of inauguration
day, abandoned by his predecessors,
and will ride lack up Pennsylvania
avenue from the capitol to the White
House with his successor. This Gus
tom was broken by Mr.. Roosevelt four
years ago when he hurried from the
capitol to the union station to catch
train for Oyster Bay, leaving Mr..
Taft 10 make the journey back up
the avenue with Mrs. Taft at his
side.
At the direction of the president,
Col. Spencer Cosby chief aide at
the White House on his recent visit
to Gov. Wilson, asked if the governor
desired that this custom be revived.
Col. Cosby reported today that Gov.
Wilson was anxious that Mr.. Taft ac-
company him.

Columbia, Jan. 21-At noon before

sworn in by Magistrate w. Pink

then delivered his inaugural address.
The galleries and floor were crowded.
In his address the governor reaf-
firmed his allegiance TO his friends
and threatened to veto appropriations
for State colleges unless itemized. He
warned against paid lobbyists and
touched on other matters. The Gov
ernor spoke for one hour. The end
of his speech had a specific tone.

GREAT PAINTING AT EXPOSITION
THE Shadow of the Cross tba Most
Discussed Work in the World to Be
on Exhibit.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-After several
weeks Of delicate negotiation, the di-
rectors Of the National corn exposition
at Columbia, S. c., have succeeded in
gaining from DR.. w. l.. Wright Of
Washington City the privilege Of ex-
hibiting Henry Hammond Ahl's mir
acle painting, The Shadow of the
Cross"
The Shadow of the Cross" is prob
ably the most discussed work ever
produced by an artist, not because
the artist intended that it should be
so, but because Of conditions over
which he had no control and which.
down to date, neither clergyman nor
chemist has been able to account for.
The picture is of the Christ. Viewed
in the full light it is a splendid but
not unusual type. With lights turned
off in utter darkness, the miracle ma
terializes. From the clouds in the
background there emanates a vivid
glow that t'.cows out the figure Of the
Master in silhouette. Around the
head there appears a luminous halo
and athwart the whole picture and
behind the figure falls the shadow Of
the cross.
Ali, the artist, did not discover the
marvels of his work until it was near
ly finished. He had begun a concep-
ton of the Christ at the earnest behest
Of a close friend, so he gave it UP.
One day while dining the idea that
he had sought to grasp but failed
came to him in a flash, and, rising,
he hurried to his studio and took I'D
again the work upon his picture.
When it was near completion he had
occasion to go one night to his
studio. He entered in darkness, and
was astounded to encounter strange
light, which upon close inspection
proved to be an emanation from the
picture upon which he was at work.
Before him was a shadowy form Of
the Christ he was painting, but against
a background of changing light and
with magnificent aura which he had
never painted. Athwart it all was
the shadow of the cross, and this, too,
he had not intended. Ahl worked
not another day upon his picture. He
was of deeply religious nature, and
his unintentional results impressed
| him so strongly that he would not
again put brush to canvas, but left
the picture in the uncompleted state.
Later it went into the hands of Dr.
| Wright, tiso a man of deep religious
feeling, I'D he has sent it about the
country az various times for exhibition
for the benefit of religious or semi
religious organizations.
No one has been able to account for
the effects which the artist did nCt
paint. Chemists have tried by analy-
| sis to find some luminous quality IN
the paint, but have found only the
| ordinary pigments. 1t has been the
cause Of contentious Of much heat be-
| between theologists, but it is today
| as much a miracle unsolved as il
was on the night the artist came uD-
on it in his studio.
The proceeds will bo devoted %
some South Carolina charity.
