Who is w. +. Stevenson?
political ADVERTISEMENT.

OIIllSCll iAONSi
Come to the congressional cam
paign meeting at Yorkville, July %,
Fort Mill July %, at night, McCon-
nellsville, July "a, IL a. m. and he will
tell you.
Mr.. w. F. Stevenson, who is run
ming for congress in this district, has
been engaged in some great litiga-
tions. He was employed by the at
torney general to assist in the prose-
cution of the dispensary grafters. We
will refer to only one of the great
trials of that series. This was held
at Chester. Solicitor Henry was sick,
but Mr.. Mcclure acted for him, with
credit to himself and to the entire
Mr.. b. l.. Abney was also for the
state The defense presented bril-
liant array of counsel: Weston &
Aycock, r. H. Welch, NJ. p. Howell,
son. Nelson & Gettys. Mr.. w. o..
Guy was foreman of the jury and ].
NJ. Wilson, ]. W. Taylor, John Estes,
Alex Fraser, +. NJ. Hough. W. II.
Caldwell, ]. y. Calvin and ]. w.
Suitman were the jury.
1t had been affirmed that they
would not convict on the evidence of
the co-partners. They should be
enrolled on the roll of honor. No
such plea controlled them. The trial
lasted a week. The case was ably
argued on all sides. Mr.. Stevenson
closed for the state and his argument
has been more talked of than any
other he has ever made. But merely
because of the occasion and result
Mr.. Black was convicted, and subse-
qucntly pardoncd. The correspondent
of the News and Courier said of the
argument: Attorney Stevenson made
what has been commented on as
probably the most powerful address
heard in the court house here in years.
Sharp. keen, inciSive, crowding a
world of facts into small compass
and marshalling them with wonderful
generalShip. adhering to the issue
and exposing the guilt
The Chester Reporter said: There
were some magnificent speeches in
the graft case last week, but the
public is agreed that it was the in
tcnsely forceful speech of Mr.. Ste
venson. perhaps. more than any other
that made the conviction of Black
possible. Mr.. Stevenson rehearsed the
evidence item by item. There was not
a piece or parcel missing. His irony
went true to the mark and laid bare
the rOttenness.
Isn't there rottenness to be exposed
in Washington? DO we want ability
there?

The Last Eight

OF the last eight persons for whom
I have written applications for poll
cies in the Mutual Benefit Life lnsur-
ance Company, five were unmarried
and none were over 2S years OF age
They all bought Mutual Benefit 1nsur-
ance because they believed, and cor
rectly, that there was none better,
that the best time to insure was while
they were young, in good health and
could get it. Each of them applied
for and were issued 20 pay life poll
cies and if they live they will have
finished paying premiums by the time
they reach the prime of life, and Will
have laid up a neat sum for old age
in the safest hands in which money
can be placed. There are scores or
men in this section who fully realize
that they should do as these have
done, and fully expect to. but are
waiting for more convenient sea-
son" to start, but that season may
never come, as it did not for others
whom they could mention. They
waited too Ions. If you are over IA,
you are not too young and if you are
not over 20, you are not too old.

New York Lawyer Was Brother OF
Mrs. Lincoln Eyre, of This City.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28,-Harold osgood
Binney who led a strangely dual exist
ence as patent lawyer and a man whose
eccentric exploits kept him almost con-
stantly before the public eve, died last
night at the home of relatives in Mt
vernon. He was AZ years old Mrs Lin
coin Eyre, Of Philadelphia, is his sister
His death is supposed to have been
caused by an overdose of headache tab
let's taken Saturday night. Yesterday
he suddenly collapsed anu died when his
heart failed to respond to stiIuulants.
Alienists had pronounced Binney one
of the most remarkable individuals they
ever examined. He was a brilliant law
yer, a chemist a physicist. mechanical
and an electrical engineer. He was de-
voted to automobile speeding and was
frequently arrested for dashes on Broad
way, having been released November 4
from Blackwell's Island, where he had
been for two weeks because he refused
to deposit $1,000 as a guarantee that he
would not violate the speed law.
On one occasion Binney became infatu-
ated with the idea OF joining clubs. and
became a member of one after another,
until he tired Of the novelty. Aeroplanes
attracted his attention and he went in
for them in his usual manner. buying
two at time. He few them for a while,
but abandoned them for yachts.
His first wife was Miss Miles, of Phila-
dolphia. After being divorced in 1910, he
turned up i'm California where It was
rumored that he was about to marry
again. Instead he returned to this city,
where he married Miss Elise Martin.
singer. In March. 1918. A trip to Europe
followed but Mrs Blnney was unable to
overlook the eccentricities of her hus-
band and returned alone. Two daughters
by his first wife survive him.
