States, it is an asset of the highest
practical value even in the obtaining
of those small things which in the
minds of some shortsighted men are
all a Senator is there to get. We men
ton this sordid aspect Of the matter
with distaste, and only because to
some minds it seems important. A
much weightier aspect of the Sena-
torship is that the nations knowledge
of Senator, when that knowledge is
coupled with respect and affection, is
thing in which his State should
take pride and not thing to be
lightly foregone If South Carolina

Bessinger Found Guilty.

D. Bessinger was tried by the may
or last Thursday on two charges pre-
ferred by the city in connection with
Mr.. Bessinger's alleged attack on
Prof. E. P. Allen. He was found
guilty and sentenced to pay a fine OF
SIS for one offence and $50 for the
other, making a total fine Of S65.
The city made no case against Mr..
,Bessinger in connection with his al
legged improper conduct at the graded
school.
A large array of lawyers appeared
for Mr.. Bessinger. Brown & Bush
and Harley & Blatt, all of whom are
Barnwell attorneys, were defending
Mr.. Bessinger. The trial was held in
the city hall, and quite a crowd wit
messed the proceedings.
The greater part Of the time was
consumed in clearing up technical
opposition on the part of the defen-
dant's counsel. The city charter, the
legality of the city council, and the
legal right of the mayor to try cases
were all attacked; in fact, about ev-
erything connected with the city gov
ernment was attacked, but no effort
was made to prove Mr.. Bessinger in
nocent. After the witnesses for the
city had been heard, the defendant S
counsel asked that he be not found
guilty, stating the legal grounds pre-
viously noted, and declined to put up
any witnesses. Mayor Rentz found
the defendant guilty, as above stated.
It is understood that the counsel
for Mr.. Bessinger contemplate appeal
ing the case. The remaining charges
against Mr.. Bessinger will be tried
by the magistrate and by the circuit
court. It is expected that the case
in connection with Mr.. Bessinger's s
visit to the school house will be tried
this week by Magistrate Dickinson.

Gen. Foltz Explains
Willie Richie Case

Brig. Gen. Frederick s. Foltz,
commanding Camp Lewis, de-
clared Thursday afternoon Willie
Richie, boxing instructor of this
camp, free from blame in the
matter of exemption from the
draft.
A letter written by Gen. Foltz
to Ritchie's local board in San
Francisco requested that he be
certified for service and declared
that Ritchie's value to the gov
eminent in his present place
would end IL he were exempted.
Richie enlisted in the signal
corps July 6 and was discharged
"for the convenience of the gov
eminent" and given his place as
boxing instructor by the Fosdick
commission.
Gen. Foltz' statement follows:
"In justice to Mr.. Willie Rit-
chic, now boxing instructor in
this division, 1t should be known
that he made no claim of exemp-
ton; he voluntarily enlisted in
July and was honorably dis
charged before being appointed
boxing instructor.

Foil, who took the Cleveland
team when that club was in
state of chaos and built it into
pennant contender. Then along
came Rowland and proved be-
yond a doubt that the busher
must be seriously considered.
Partly for these reasons and
partly for the admiration he had

Branch Hickey, president of the

first bush league manager in
