The case of Willie Bethune which
has been 10 the courts for so many
years, seems to have come to a close at
last. This negro has cost Clarendon
county several thousand dollars. He
was charged with the murder OF Mr.
G. B. Minis, tried and convicted, but
on account Of the great legal talent he
engaged to defend him, they have been
able to keep it in the courts for years.
He being sentenced to die about seven
times, and each time he evaded the
death sentence. but last week, after his
attorneys were granted a change of
venue, the case was heard before a
Lee county jury, and these twelve men
sustained the verdicts OF all former
juries by convicting Bethune of murd-
er in the first degree, and bringing to
close one OF the longest and most
hard fought cases in the history OF the
county. Judge Prince sentenced Be-
thune to be electrocuted October 27

BETTER Street
CAR SERVICE IS
Being SOUGHT
Trades Council and Cham
Der of Commerce Commit
tees Discuss Problem.

A movement to bring about better
ment of street car service was the sub
ject Of special meeting last night of
the trustees of the chamber of COM
merce, at the head quarters of the or
ganization, for the purpose of con-
ferring with a committee from the
Central Trades council, at the request
of the trades council.
At their recent regular meeting, the
trustees decided to circulate petitions
calling upon the city council to repeal
the ordinance which demands the use
Of two-men crews on the street cars,
the repeal of such ordinance to allow
the company to operate more cars
with one-man crews. When this &C
ton became known, the chamber of
commerce was asked not to act in the
matter until conference had been had
with committee from the Central
| Trades council, and the conference was
arranged for last night
Walter Davis, T. A. Wilson, Frank
Hughes and 7. White were the mem
bers of the trades council committee,
and they were all at the conference.
! They explained to the trustees that the
Central Trades council objected to the
circulation of the petition because it
was believed better street car service
can be obtained thru other methods.
Asked to say what these other meh-
odrs were, the committee stated it was
not free to make any explanation, and
asked for further time, in which to
confer with conductors and motormen
on the cars.
! 1t was finally decided that the COM
mittee from the trades council will
confer tonight with the motormen and
conductors, and will resume it's con-
ference tomorrow morning with the
trustees, thru a special committee,
composed of Sam Katzenstein, j. c.
! White, Thurman Louthan and E. B.
| Bloom.
