Gift From 'Portland Nedg'

Columbia, Dec. Ex-Governor Blease
this morning received through the re-
gular mails Christmas present from
Santa Claus" in the shape of pearl
handle knife with the latest and
modern attachments. The package
was said to have been postmarked
from a little town above New York
city, and the governor said that COM
parison of the handwriting with let
ters in the governors office lead him
to the conclusion that the gift was
from James Johnson, alias Portland
Ned" the yegg whom the governor
paroled and who escaped from the
governors Office while United States
marshal was waiting in the outer Of
flee with warrant for him. The gov
ernor says that he is satisfied the pre-
sent came from Portland Ned" as
the address on the package looks ex-
actly like the signature Of Portland"
to letters which he wrote to the gov
ernor from the STATE penitenttary be-
fora he Was paroIea.

had stood out against conviction all
the time, said Foreman Ottinger.
After thanking the jurors and free
ing them from further service in con-
nection with the case, Judge Foster
directed that Schmidt be remanded
to the Tombs.
1t was learned that two jurors who
had failed to agree with the other ten
were of the opinion that Schmidt was
insane when he killed the woman with
whose murder he is charged.
The crime for which Hans Schmidt
has been on trial is considered one
of the most revolving in the history
of this city. Early in September
parts of a woman's body were found
in the Hudson river. Schmidt, ar
rested a few days later, admitted that
on September 2 he had killed Anna
Aumuller. He said he acted by divine
command. The trial started Decen-
Der 8 and towards the last became
largely a battle between alienists for
the defense and the State.

Should these logs be drawn straight
down the road, or should it be dragged
at a slant so that a little OF the loose
earth will slide toward the centre Of
the road? Should the dragging be
started next to the ditch, or at the
centre of the road? Should you drag
the whole road in one way, or drag
each half of it in an opposite direc-
ton? Shol1d the dragging be done
when the road is dry, or after 1t 'Aas

four miles of road? How would he
be repaid for the cost Of his labor?
Remember, children, you are not
to answer these questions as if you
were answering an examination paper.
You are to think about the answers
and ask people for information and
watch people actually working on
roads, and then write a composition
that will be just the same as if you
were writing a letter to friend, tell
ing him, or her, how they made the
earth road near you better, and kept
it from getting full of holes, ruts and
nudd1nc :"

Bouknig1t oficiated. Tne color
scheme for the occasion was red and

fully decorated in bells and holly.
Promptly at half past seven. to the
sweet strains Of Mendelsohns wedding

Buford, of Newberry, the bridal party
entered in the following order: Miss
Lucille Turner, of Greenwood, with
Mr.. John Bell, Of Renno; Miss Sallie
Bell Buford of Newberry, with Mr.

The bride was exquisitely gowned in

graceful folds of her bridal veil. I'm
mediately after the ceremony bril-
liant reception was rendered the
