Dynamitcrs Get Three Years.

I'm true sense your criminal acts
were not only violations of the crimi-
nal laws of this state but they were
directly aimed against the enforce.
ment of the laws of the state by the
due and orderly procedure of the
courts, as provided by law. Those
acts were such as directly tended to
the subdivision of all law and order,
being acts which sought to substitute
the rule of the mob for that of the
due and orderly administration of the
law by the people acting through
their legally established tribunals"
'lf such acts wee left unchecked
and permitted to continue, and if such
offenses We're left unpunshed, they
would ultimately and necessarily re-
suit in the subdivision of all law and
order and eventuate in the substitu-
tion of mob and anarchy for the due
and orderly administration of Justice
by the people, acting through their le-
gally and regularly constituted courts
and duly chosen officials, in the en-
forccment of the laws made by the
people themselves"
Thus Judge Ernest Moore spoke to-
day in passing the sentence of the
court on Horace Finch, w. r. Bclchcr
and Robert Wilson, the trio of alleg-
ed Jail StOrmerS who were convicted
in the court of general sessions dur
ing the week for participation in an
attempt to administer summary ven
geance to negro, Will Fair, who was
held in the county jail on the night
of August 1S, 1918, charged with
committing criminal assault on a
white woman of near White Stone on
the morning preceding.
The appeals for leniency from at
torneyS representing the convicted
men and personal appeal from Bel
cher in behalf of his wife and three
children, were received by the court,
but the presiding judge enjoincd:
"The punishment to be inflicted upon
YOU must be proportional to the gray
ity of the violation of the law Of
which you have been found guilty and
there remains to me noi alternative
except so to fix that punishment rs TO
fit adequately the crime you commit
ted
"Therefore the sentence of the
court is that each one of you, Robert
Wilson, w. X. BClchcr, and Horace
Finch be imprisoned in the state pen
itcntiary at hard labor, or in the
county Jail of the county of Spartan
burg, at hard labor upon the public
works of the county for period Of
three years.
Bond for the release Of the men
pending the appeal to the supreme
court was granted i'm the sum of ST.
500 each.-The Spartanburg Journal

Baptist Sunday School Convention.

The Baptist Sunday School conven-
ton which met at the Second Baptist
church, November 20, was very inter
-esting. The representation from otfl-
er schools of the county was not as
large as at other conventions, but this
was owing to its being a rainy day.
Everyone present seemed to enjoy the
exercises of the day, with the best of
attention given to every speaker.
The first subject for discussion was
"The Value of Time" This subject
was we'll discussed by Rev. S. w. Jol-
ly and several other speakers, and
which took up the morning hours.
The first subject in the afternoon was
"The Sign of the Times" 1t was ably
presented by Scripture proofs by Rev
Geo. p. White.
The next convention will be at Tab
ernacle Baptist Church, fifth Sunday
in January, 1915.
II. f.. Brewington rendered his res
i@nation as secretary and treasurer of
the convention and Frank Hart was
unanimously chosen to the position.

|ROLAND COLEMAN
in UNION
Arrived Here Tuesday Night.
Says He Was Not the Author
of Letter Written From
Salt Lake City-NO
Statement From
MIR. SOuthard.

Roland Coleman arrived in Union
Tuesday night of this week. He is
the young man, brother to Harry
Coleman, and joint heir with him to
the estate of Robt. Coleman, deceas-
ed, for whom attorneys representing
Harry Coleman and others represent
ing the interest of Roland Coleman
had been searching. They located Ro-
land Coleman in Mansfield Ohio. One
OF the interesting features of this
Coleman matter was the part played
by letter received by Mr.. Samuel
Littlejohn, purporting to be from Ro-
land Coleman, and mailed at Salt
Lake City, Utah. Attorney L. G..
Southland gave out the statement up
on his return from the search for Ro
land Coleman that Coleman asknowI-
edged having written the letter in
question and about which there were
so many conflicting statements. Cole
man, in his statement to The Times
man emphatically denies having writ
ten the letter or having acknowledged
doing so. Up to the time for going to
press we have been unable to see Mr..
Southland and obtain statement from
him.
