News and Courier.
Lexington, April 22.-T. Frank
Griffith, member of prominent Lex
ington county family, who was con-
victed of murder, with recommenda-
ton to mercy, by jury of his peers
in the special term of the court OF
general sessions on Thursday after
noon, was late yesterday sentenced
by Judge Ernest Moore to serve the
remainder of his natural life at hard
labor in the State penitentiary or up
up the public works of Lexington
county.
Sentence was pronounced after Col
George Tillman Graham of st. Au-
gustine, Fla, distinguished criminal
attorney, who had fought the case
with. earnestness and skill throughout
the trial, had argued for new trial
upon two grounds: First, because
there was no proof of any malice;
and second, because the defendant
established by the preponderance OF
the evidence that ne was insane at
the time he fired the fatal shot.

no OCCASION for surprise; for the

refer to this incident to encourage

some of the peas will burst and make

marked love between the members
and pastor and decided working to-
gether towards one end, also, An in
creased membership making the
dwelling together in unity of the con-
gregation a source of great comfort
and satisfaction.
Therefore, be it resolved by coun-
Gil Of Grace Lutheran church,
First, That said church has lost a
faithful and efficient pastor, whose
untiring efforts in the upbuilding of
the church spiritually, financially and
socially will not be forgotten.
Second, That the council tender
him their appreciation, love and re-
spect for mis- well done labor.

Sad And Disgusting.

The buns and booze holsters of Mar
tinSburg who have been patronizng the
saloons in WilliamSport since West Viz
ginia went dry have quit that place and
are now iourneying TO Sharpsburg for
their liquid supplies. Its said the reason
for the change is that the toll has been
increased at the WillamSport bridge and
that the visitors are not popular with the
WilliamSport policemen, who insist on
good order. These objectionabes, we
regret TO say, have 10 pass through Shep-
herdstown on their way to ardfrom Mar
tinsburg. and il is sad and disgusting
sight Sad, because no one can keep
from plying the poor fellows who seem
10 be overcome, body and soul, by the
habit that has robbed them OF their self
respect and sense OF decency; and dis
gushing, because the people OF our decent
town have not been used to the spectacle
presented by these wretched drunkards
who pass through town, sodden and evil
in appearance or noisy and disorderly in
conduct.
Our town officials are not unmindful OF
the nuisance, and are only awaiting a
chance TO nab the fellows who violate
our local laws. One or two negro iitney
drivers are under notice, and it is hoped
that they will be soaked good for fast and
reckless driving through our streets.
Country people who use the public roads
complain of these same fellows, and are
in dread of some serious accident be-
cause of their insolence and recklessHess.
We hope that some way may be devised
to prevent our streets and roads from be-
ing made highways for these wretched
buns.
