COURT ORDERS MISTRlAL
IN CASE OF TOM WATSON

Augusta, Ca, Dec. IA mistrial was
ordered in federal district court here
tcnighl in the case of Thomas E. Wat
son of Thomson, Ca, charged with
having sent obscene matter through
the mails. The jury, which had had
the case before it since Thursday af-
ternoon, reported it could not agree on
a verdict.
Judge w. w. Lambdin, presiding, mad
called the jury into court after con-
ference with counsel for both sides in
which it was agreed that should a YER
dict not be reached tonight a mistrial
order should be taken. &c. E. Brown
Of Iennille, Ca, foreman Of the jury,
stated in court that it was impossible
for the jury to reach verdict, and on
the judges questioning the other ju-
rors, ]. A. Crawford of Martinez, Ca,
rose in the jury box and declared,
Your honor, this jury might remain
here 80 years and it would never reach
verdict"
Judge Lambdin then ordered a mis-
trial and court was adjourned.
Watson returned to Thomson before
he jury was called in.
The order was taken at 1888 p, m,
wnen the case had been before the
Jury 80 hours. Several of the jurors,
including C. ]. Skinner of Richmond

Brown, the foreman, said later that
the vote had been 10 to for acquittal
on the first ballot and on each succeed
ing one. North and E. G. Dent OF
Waynesboro were the jurors who held
out for conviction, according to state
ments made by North, Brown and sew
eral other jurors.
Watson was placed on trial Friday,
last, it being charged that he employed
obscene and otherwise unlawful Ian
guage in issues of his publications.
The articles specified in the indict-
ment were three parts of serial en-
Titled 'The Roman Catholic Hierarchy:
the Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties
and Our Civilization" which appeared
in his monthly magazine, and an ed
itorial headed, Another Maria Monk
Case Comes to Light in New Jersey q
Few Daye Ago. the editorial appear
ing in the defendants weekly paper.
Watson a member of the Georgia
bar, acted as his own leading counsel
and sought to get into evidence his
motives in using the language objected
to, as we'll as alleged motives behind
the prosecution. The court ruled, how
ever, that the issue rested solely upon
the question of Watson's responsible
ity for mailing the publication and
upon whether or not they were unlaw-
full under section 211 of the federal
penal code. Watson assumed respon-
sibility for mailing the matter, but de-
MED that the language was obscene
The indictment was returned in 1913,
after previous Indictment had been
quashed on technicality, and after
one federal grand jury had refused to
indict Watson on similar charges. The
articles were published in 1911 and
1912.
There was no indication tonight as
to whether or not the district attorney
would press for another trial.
There were approximately 100 spec
tators in the court room tonight when
the final order was taken.

BROWN, HIPP & SWITTENBERG

The firm of Brown, Hipp & Switten-
berg is a comparatively new one in
business, though all of the members
thereof are we'll known, and have been
in business in Newberry for some time.
The present firm was organized about
two years ago, with Mr.. Sims G. Brown
as senior member, Mr.. Geo. C. Hipp,
already we'll known in business circles
of Newberry, and Mr.. w. ]. Swittesberg.
They are active and enterprising young
men, they have a large, new double
store on Main street well stocked with
staple dry goods, hats, shoes and no
tions, and a department devoted to
groceries, hardware and farm supplies.
They keep the line of goods that the

This is the monumental undertaking
of this age and monument to the
awakening minds and hearts of the
lresent
And now in closing these reminis-
censes which the editor asked us to
write fer this semi-centennial edition,
we nave not meant to subtract one
jot or little from the glorious present,
which is our only sure possession, for
after all it was on the stepping
stones of the good old days that the
present has come to be as it is, and
what it is. To speak unkindly of it
would be self-blame for the lost days

things is, after all. The good old mule

further and the auto that comes to a
dead stop, both classify with mother
Goose's little boy who when he's good
he's very good and when he's bad he's

AS l have said, we went to church
and Sunday school practically every
Lords day, and took great pleasure in
so doing, despite the sermons that
cached filthy and siXthly and some
times more. Truly, the services we at
tended would be intolerable to the
children and youth of today-and since
We are making comparisons, some Of
the young people would not have been
tolerated at those services. Then the
parents brought up their children
(thzy did not bring up father or moth
err and were taught.not only to respect
their elders, but that the church was
the Kings own house, and that no
conduct unworthy of any earthly
kings palace would be permitted in
His.
We hear so much nowadays about
the disappearance of the family altar,
Where has it gone, and why? Has
something better supplanted it? And
the pravins elder and deacon of yes
teryear? These are sad but true facts
that face the approach of the millen-
airm If today we could find dozen
or fifteen men in any one church who
would conduct public worship or lead
in prayer We would think that the good
old days had returned, and we could
wish that they had never passed.
Fifty years ago people did not know
it was respectable to go to church.
They went, first from the force of
father. perhaps, then from habit and
in later years from the sense of pleas
ant, profitable duty. Good habits are
as easily formed as bad, if they are
more easily parted from in later years,
and We older ones sincerely thank our
sainted parents for the character
moulding of those days However, We

We belong to that noepful class who
believe that the world is better now
than at any other period; yet there is
a flny exaggeration in the good old
days which plays tricks with our judg-
nent and we do not care to analyze
away the glamour of their spell.
People who have, reached our time
in life are even apt to complain of
the present-look backward for their
golden age. Have you never exclaimed
This age is degenerate?" Weren't
you quoting your father, and he his
father, and so on down, or rather
back to the old colonial days?
Today has been long time coming.

The Good Old Days
(By A. H. Kohn.)

only few months, teachers were poor,
and truly there was then no royal
road to the little learning that We did
get. Now, the reverse is true in every
way, even to sparing the rod, and right
clad we are for the future citizens OF
this commonwealth. Nevertheless
tender and sweet are the memories
that cluster round the old log school
house, the Old blue back spelling book,
frayed, Smiths grammar, and the rule
of three.
And how we did play in those days.
This is by far too long story, for
boys will be boys, and more than boys
sometimes. Often we were the latter
and the jokes We played, the hunts we
look. the makeshifts we contri1ed, the
green fruits we ate, and the various
unheard of things we planned and ex-
ecuted, are no longer Of interest for
the barefoot boy of those days that
are gone, alas, never to return. But
Jacks life was more work than play
then. How he did enjoy rising at
a. N. and beginning the days work oy
hitching two horses to a Dixie Boy or
an Avery? Not much he did. A Dixie
bov then was himself and not fast
ground turning plow. He rose at 4
a. m. and hitched an old mule to a
home made wooden plow stock, With a
make-snift plow point, and walked be-
hind this Until kindly sun called him
TO bed. This boy spelled mower and
reaper s-c-y-t-h-e, and thought grain
cradle a most wonderful invention.
Methods and ways of farming, too,
have changed. All the old ways 'nat
were in vogue because they had been
handed down from father to son have
been retired and now nobody uses
them, but the father. The son has
been sent away to al agricultural col
lege and farms scientifically and in
tensively, rather thar haphazardly and
extensively. Home keeping hearts are
happie:t and We were happy al home,
yet we did like to visit our neignbors,
to attend church, to go to the court
house, and ride about every once in
while.
We did not have the word automobile
in our dictionaries. The mention of
sucn a thing would have occasioned, 1
fear, very much the same state of mind
as that produced by the first assertion
that the earth was round
And yet if an auto is horseless
carriage, We had it. Behold mule
(oid jack nitched to the deacon's two
wheeled shay.
The family touring car was often a
mule hitched TO homemade buggy
with a seat fastened on behind for
bud" to ride. The runabout of that
day was gentle, slow-mo7ing mule
with a sheepskin for a saddle upon
which wriggled or fell off two, three,
or more, of the family jewels.
A carriage and four in those days
was a nine days wonder. A ride in
them then was almost as exciting as an
invitation to ride in flying machine
would be now.
