Andrews Had Warrant Issued.

Georgetown, April 27.-An mad
vertent error was made in the dis
patch of last night relating to the
arrest of L. A. Beatty, editor of the
Georgetown Times, on charges of
libel, the dispatch stating the charges
had been brought by DR.. Olin Saw
yer. DR.. Sawyer did not swear out
the warrant, though he was named
as the injured party. The affidavit
on which the warrant was issued was
made by w. H. Andrews, mayor Of
Georgetown, general manager of the
Georgetown and Western Railway,
and leader of the State admins
tration faction in this county.
The preliminary hearing was to
have been held before Magistrate
HARRISON this morning. At a con-
ference held this morning in the Of
fee of Mr.. Beatty, between Judge
HARRISON, the Hon. NJ. w. Pyatt and
Mr.. Beatty, the Judge asked the de-
fendant if he had any desire to have
the case transferred to another mag
istrate. To this Mr.. Beatty replied
that he had perfect confidence in
Judge Harrelson's fairness and it
was not his wish to have the case
transferred to any other magistrates
court. 1t was then agreed that the
preliminary hearing should be held
at II o'clock Saturday morning.
Judge Harrelson fixed the bond of
Mr.. Beatty at $1,000. This was al
most instantly arranged.
The filing of this suit has created
a. great deal of local interest, and
the hearing will probably be held in
the court house in order to accommo-
date the large number of spectators
expected.

EDITOR CHARGED WITH LIBEL.
l.. A. Beatty, of Georgetown, Accused
by DIR. Olin Sawyer.

Georgetown, April 26.-L. A.
Beatty, editor of the Georgetown
Times, was arrested here yesterday
afternoon on charges of libel,
brought by Dr.. Olin Sawyer. The
action was the result of the publica-
ton in the Times yesterday of an
article relating to political meet
ing at Carver's Bay, this county, fol-
lowing which a killing occurred. The
arrest of Mr.. Beatty was made by
Sheriff H. H. Ward in the latter's
Office.
DR.. Sawyer is recognized as one of
the prominent leaders of the COVER
nor in Georgetown county. The
policy Of the Georgetown Times is
one of opposition to the governor. 1t
seems that the action against Mr..
Beatty is similar to that brought sew
eral days ago in Columbia against
James H. Moore, editor of the Co.
lumbia Record.

all of his interest in the business to

Henderson, deceased, and he will
give his time to that work and the
practice of law here.

DENY .AFFIDAVITS.
Franks Lawyers Ask Court to Elim-
nate Statements.

Atlanta, Ca, April 2S.-TWo affi-
davits, in which the Rev. c. B. Rags
dale and R. L. Barber asserted they
had heard James Conley, negro fac
tory sweeper, confess to the murder
of Mary Phagan, the 14-year-old fac
tory girl, have been repudiated by
the affiants, it was announced to-
day.
Superior Judge Hill, at the re-
quest of attorneys for Leo NJ. Frank,
the factory superintendent under
sentence of death for the murder, to-
day signed an order eliminating the
affidavits from the pending eXtraor-
binary motion for new trial for
Frank.
The defence counsel also issued a
statement saying that the two affi-
ants had made the affidavits volun-
tarily, and that they had every rea-
son to believe they were truthful at
the time they were made.
Reputation of the afldavits re-
fecting upon the negro was in a
sworn statement given by the two
men to Solicitor General Dorsey,
chief of the States legal forces in
the prosecution.
Conley was convicted as an ac-
cessory after the murder and SEN
fenced to one years Imprisonment.
He testified at the trial of Frank that
the latter had killed the factory girl
in the plant of the National Pencil
Company here, and that he aided in
the disposal of the body in the fac
tory basement. The girl had been
hit on the head and strangled.
The convicted factory superinten-
dent issued a statement from his
cell to-day, in which he reiterated his
innocence, commented on the report
of national detective agency, which
asserted there was nothing to show
that he was a pervert, and asked a
new trial.
Frank also commented on the
statement of Chief of Detectives
Lanford, in which he said that the
State never had charged that Frank
was a pervert. The convicted man
said he believed the publics i'm
preston on the point infamed opin-
ion against him at the time of his
trial and this was one of the chief
reasons why he should have a new
hearing.

Miss Pendleton's Confession.

Spartanburg, April 24.-Saving
for rebuttal what he regards as in
many respects his strongest evidence
of the guilt of Clyde c. Clement and
Miss Fleda Pendleton, jointly charg-
ed with the murder of their baby
daughter, Solicitor Albert E. Hill
rested for the State late this after
noon.
The evidence the solicitor adduced
against the pair during the day be-
came more and more damaging with
each succeeding witness, and reach
ed it's climax with the Introduction
of Miss Pendleton's confession, made
in the Jail few hours after her ar
rest, and recorded by stenographer
in the presence of witnesses.
Counsel for Clement used every
ruse known to skilful lawyers to pre-
vent the introduction of the docu-
ment. In it the girl charges Gle
ment with having thrown their little
daughter, on the night of January
80, into Lawson's Fork, the creek
which forms the mill pond, where
the body was found the next morn
ing.
She admits in the confession that
she accompanied him on his alleged
dire mission, but declares that she
protested against the death of the
baby. She was induced not to pre-
vent him from drowning the baby
by his promise to marry her II she
acuuiesced, and threatened to desert
her if she thwarted his purpose, ac-
cording to the confession.
After the State rested a contro-
versy arose between counsel for Gle
ment and Miss Pendleton as to which
side should present its defence testl-
mony first. Character witnesses for
Clement were placed on the stand
to say he bore a good reputation.
Each of the defendants on the
witness stand to-day denied the
charge on which they were jointly
indicted, that they murdered the
baby whose body was found January
81 in a: mill pond here. They ad-
mitted that they went together on
the night of January 80 to the
bridge, from which the child was
thrown into the black waters of Law
sons Fork, the stream which forms
the mill pond, but each of them
denied any knowledge of the pur-
pose of the trip. Clement said he
went at Miss Pendleton's behest; she

retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most, IL not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy. every single
sign and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy. lLstrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel o hundred
times better.

starves the hair and makes 1t fall out,
but it makes it stringy, straggly. dull,
dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody
notices 1t.
