Gilberts Convicted on Charge
of Beating Up School Teacher.

The case of the State against e.
lis Gilbert, Susanna Gilbert, Law
ton Gilbert. ROTOR Gilbert, Estelle
Gilbert, Ruby Gilbert and Albert
Shirley on the charge of assault and
battery of a high and aggravated
nature, the offense having been COM
mitted upon the person of Miss
Emily Broadway, of Paxvllle, a
teacher in the Liberty Hill school
in Lee county, was tried in the Lee
county circuit court at Bishopville
this week and all of the defendants
were found guilty except Albert
Shirley, who was acquitted. Motion
was given for a new trial and SEN
| tence was deferred.
This case, it will be remembered,
caused quite a sensation at the time
it occurred. The Gilberts were
charged with meeting Miss Broad
way in the road and maltreating
her because she had dismissed Ru-
by Gilbert from school. Miss Ethel
Logan, of Edgetield, the assistant
teacher in the school, was the chief
witness for the State besides Miss
Broadway. They told of the as
sault which had been NAL lie on them
by the Gllberls in sight of the
house of one Of the trustees, also a
Gilbert, testimony which was de-
MED by the defendants, who claimed
that Miss Broadway had attacked
Susanna Gilbert when she accused
Miss Broad way of not telling the
truth. Item.

Edgefield Rifles to be Re.or
ganized.

Edgefeld has never been found
wanting in the past when there was
a call to duty and it will not now
be found tagging in this crisis. The
Edgefeld Rifles will be re-organized
and volunteer for service.
In response to a mass-meetlng
called through the county papers
last week, looking to the reorgani-
cation of the Edgetield Rifles, about
200 persons assembled in the court
house Saturday afternoon. After
several stirring addresses were made
a motion was unanimously adopted
to the effect that the local infantry
company be re organized at once.
Capt. w. A. Collect, a former com
handing officer Of the company, was
appointed chairman of a committee
of citizens who shall be charged
with the enlistment of the required
number of men. The other mem
bers of the committee are to be
chosen by the chairman. When the
call for enrolment as members of
the company was made this after
noon a number of young men res
pended and it is believed that with
in a short time a sufficient number
will have enrolled. There was much
genuine interest and enthusiasm
manifested Saturday afternoon.

Testimony of Life Insurance
Companies.

Statistics prepared by either the
vets or the drys are apt to be viewed
with suspicion because both sides
are biased, says Arthur Hunter of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. But statistics put out by the
life insurance companies are known
to be absolutely without bias and
the public has confidence in them.
Mr.. Hunter cites the experience OF
seven American companies and one
Canadian company to show that
mortality is from ten to thirty per
cent lower among abstainers than
among non-abstainers. He shows
further that mortality among total
abstainers is markedly lower than
among temperate drinkers, and
very much lower than among mod
crate" drinkers. The mortality
among those who at the date of APP
plication for insurance took two
glasses of whiskey..a day, but did not
drink to excess, is eighty per cent in
excess of the normal. There is an
extra mortality of forty per cent
among the policy holders who drank
to excess at least five years prior to
date of application for insurance,
but had been very temperate for five
wears before acceptance.

st. Louis. oct. 26.-The pastoral

tons and will review the European
war and its effect on other nations of

The letter being prepared by the Ri.

read in every Episcopal church in the
United States.
Today the house of deputies planned
to attempt the completion of the dis

Altho it has been announced that no
attempt will be made to shorten the

communion service at this convention,
several more or less technical changes
in the communion service were yet
to be passed upon. No changes in the

NE, NOT WILSON
COnnelly's Advice to Men Who
Scratch the Ticket.
Sixth District Congressman
Making a Hot Campaign.

Kansas Democrats are greatly en-
couraged by the impression made by
John R, Connelly's recent platform ap-
pearance in Decatur, Traer and Cedar
Bluffs. To the latter place fully 800
automobiles drove from all parts of
the surrounding country on the &C.
casion of the congressman's address
Half a dozen bands did their share
in stimulating the enthusiasm every
where evident. Many Republicans
rivaled the interest displayed by all
the adherents of the present admin
iStration.
In a speech in support of existing
national policies, Congressman Con-
nelly answered singly various charges
that have been made against him. He
fought back at the accusation that he
had gone into caucus with the south
ern Democrats by saying that coop
Grafton was the only means of effect
lively forwarding an administration
measure and that as there are 435
men in the house of representatives,
individual action would avail nothing.
He praised the lowering of the tariff
under Democrat rule and called atten-
ton to the fruitless promises of Re-
publicans year after year to reduce
the import levieS. He disposed of
the charge that the south alone was
benefited under the Underwood tariff
by declaring that the three Dig COM
modities of the south-cotton, sugar
and lumber-were all on the free list.
He advised Republicans not to feel
too bad about the hard times which
will never arrive but which the Re-
publicans constantly charge are on the
way.
He demonstrated that seven out of
twelve positive demands in the Pro-
gressive platform of four years ago
had been enacted into law under Will
son.
He concluded by asking his audi
ence to cast its vote for President
Wilson for reelection. The president,
he maintained, is the greatest since
Lincoln.

Democrat" he pleaded, scratch me,

UNPAID
Many Cities Delinquent in Dues to I'M
prove Mississippi River.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 26.-De1egates
to the convention of the upper Missis-
Sippi River Improvement association
were told today that three-fourths of
the assessments against river cities for
dues had not been paid. The report
of Secretary L. B. Boswell, showed that
the association had received an in
come of $3.50, during the year and
that assessments of dues against cities,
aggregating more than $4,000, have
not been paid. That the association
has not carried on an aggressive cam
paign during the past year to assist
various cities in providing docks and
terminal facilities to prepare them for
the revival of river traffic is due en-
ttrely to shortage of funds.
However progress has been made,
P. M. Hanson of st. Louis, chairman
of the commercial committee, pointed

FELL FROM LOFT;
HURT; THEN WELL
How a Man Who Landed on
Wood Pile and Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet
of Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up
into a loft to get some building mate
rial, just as many another man living
in the country must often do. Sud-
denly he slipped and fell. Ten feet
below was a pile of wood, knotted
and gnarled. 1t was a nasty tumble,
and Mr.. Putnam was injured pain
fully in the back, he was covered with
bruises, and was sore from head to
foot.
The next day he bought bottle of
SIoan's Liniment which had been rec
commended to him. Within a very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the Iameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, csc, soc and $1.OO.

May Stir Up Contest.
Both the houses of bishops and
deputies will go into executive session
today to select five new Protestant
Episcopal bishops. The bishops be-
gan their session this morning while
the deputies are holding off until a
late hour this afternoon. If there is
to be any personal political fight in
the conference of the church it will
most likely crop out today when the
new missionary bishops are chosen.
The deputies decided on the. late
hour of converting to give the upper
house ample time in which to send it's
selections to the lofer body for con-
currence.
Need Not 'EWarn'' the Sick.
Clergy of the church no longer need
warn sick persons to make their wills.
if the upper house concurs in a reso-
luton passed by the deputies. The OPP
position to the clergy advising their
communicates legally on making of
their testaments was led by Francis
A. Lewis, noted Phila delphia lawyer.
The deputies voted to strike out the
following prayer book directions to the
clergy: IF the sick person hath not
before disposed of his goods. let him
then be admorished to make his will
and to declare his debts, what he
oweth and what is owing unto him, for
the better discharging of his con-
science, and the quietness of his ex-
ecutors. But men should often be put
in remembrance to take order for the
setting of their temporal estates
whilst they are in health. The min
lister shall not omit earnestly to move
such sick persons as are of ability to
be liberal to the poor"
