REWARDED BY KING.
Jesse Evans, Of Dillon, South Caro-
lima, Decorated for Bravery.

Dillon, Jan. 18.-News has been
received here that Jesse Evans, of the
hospital corps, son of DR.. and Mrs.
A. ]. Evans, has been decorated for
distinguished bravery on the field Of
battle in the last days of the war. He
was bearing a stretcher with Carlisle
Bracey, another Dillon boy, and fell
badly wounded in the arm, thigh and
shoulder With them were two other
stretcher bearers, who ran out of the
storm of shot and shell, leaving young
Evans alone to care for his wounded
comrade. With the shells coming
down as thick as hailstones he ban
daged Carlisle Bracey's wound and
ordered four German prisoners to
help carry him to the emergency
hospital back of the lines. For this
act of signal bravery he has been
decorated by King George and will
receive an American medal. He af-
terwards received a shrapnel wound
in his forehead, but soon recovered
from it.
Carlisle Bracey is now in the hos
pital at Fort Mcpherson, convalesc-
ing from his serious wounds, and he
gives Jesse all the credit for saving
his life.

Supervisor Charged With Misuse o1
COnvictS.

St. George, Jan. discharged with
having used the convicts of the chain
gang as laborers upon his plantation,
C. E. Kizer, supervisor of Dorchester
county, was brought before the grand
jury Monday, and the finding Of that
body, made public today, is an exon
Grafton of Supervisor Kiser.
Considerable testimony was taken
in an effort to show that Mr.. Kiser
had from time to time removed the
convicts to his farms, where he would
keep them for weeks, not for the
purpose of performing such work as
they should do as convicts, but to aid
in his personal farming operations.

Locomotive Kills Three Wild Deer,

j. w. Holland, engineer on the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad, tells an
interesting story in connection with
the killing of three deer by loco
motive as it came over the rails at
the rate of about 80 miles an hour.
doc" Holland was at the throttle
last Saturday morning while his en-
gine was speeding between Florence
and Pee Dee The train was nearing
Wynona when three deer jumped
from an embankment and attempted
to cross the tracks Immediately in
front of the fast moving train. The
locomotive struck the three and all
were killed. The engine was brought
to standstill. The deer had met in
stant death. The engineer claimed
the doe. The buck and the fawn
were given to the operator at Pee
Dee.
Engineer Holland said the deer ap-
preached the rails from the fireman's
side of the train and the first he
knew of the killing was when he saw
the form of a doe dash to the grounu
on his. side. The buck and the fawn
were thrown on the opposite side Of
the tracks. The train ran down the
game at 6 o'clock in the morning
and it is thought that a hunting party
was out on a drive in the vicinity.

MIR. COOPER SWORN
IN AS GOVERNOR
GOV. MANNING DELIVERS KEYS
TO LAURENS MAN.
r. G.. Watts Admin
listers the Oath.
Inaugural Address Conducive to Spir.
it of Political Harmony and
Cooperation.

Columbia, Jan. 21.-At four min
utes after one this afternoon, Robert
A. Cooper, of Laurens, succeeded
Richard I. Manning, Of Sumter, as
Governor Of South Carolina.
In conformity with Governor Coop
er's desires the inaugural exercises
today were characterized by Demo
cratic simplicity. The oath of Office
was administered by his lifelong
friend and former fellow-townsman,
Associate Justice R. G. Watts, of the
Supreme Court, of South Carolina,
and the prayer was offered by his
pastor, the Rev. A. H. Templeman,
=. D., of Laurens.
For General Cooperation.
Following the administering of the
oath of office, Governor Cooper de-
livered his inaugural address, which
was generally commended as being
constructive in it's recommendations,
and conducive to a spirit of political
harmony and general cooperation of
endeavor among all the people of the
State. The keynote of the address
was educational advancement and the
administration of all the laws of the
State in the spirit of their enactment,
and in accord with the intent of the
Constitution and the statutes.
Spirit of Candor.
He said that he would deal with
the legislative department with per-
feet candor, and it would find him as
ready to receive as to offer sugges-
tions. He said that the programme
which he outlined would entail addi-
tional appropriations, and that his
educational programme would prob
ably call for the largest amount ever
expended in one year for the public
schools, but that when the taxpayers
received adequate returns upon their
investment, and the future citizen
ship of the State was at stake, that
it was matter of largest public duty
as well as of economy.
He stressed preparedness in peace,
now that hostilities had ceased, COM
pairing the present situation, on
peace basis, with that which had ex-
listed when preparedness for war was
seen to have been so vitality neces-
sary. "Could we have realized ten
years ago." he said, that a world
war Of immense magnitude was a
real danger, we would have been so
we'll prepared to meet the issue that
no war would have come. If we
can now be made to realize the dan
gers that threaten us in time Of
peace we will no longer delay the
adoption and execution of a pro-
gramme of preparedness which
shhould have been carried out years
ago."
Governor Cooper spoke for nearly
an hour, and was literally applauded
by an assemblage which represented
every walk of life in South Carolina
and every section of the State.

RECEIVES THREE MEDALS.
Awarded Victoria Cross, Military
Medal and Croix de Guerre.

The Military Cross, the Croix de
Guerre and the Victoria Cross are
among the decorations that Capt. E.
L. Patterson, son of the late Con-
gressman J. o. Patterson, of Barn
well, will bring back to his South
Carolina home, according to-, state
ments made last night by his wife,
who is now in North Augusta.
Three helmets blown from his
head, his horse wounded seven times
and then shot from under him, the
rescue of a wounded officer under
fire, are a few of the adventures
which he will bring back with him
from the battlefront when he re-
turns.
In reality Captain Patterson has
had a greater adventure than any
other man of the army medical corps.
His experiences have been varied,
and tried in the crucible he has not
been found wanting, but courageous
at all times, as evidenced by his dec
orations.
Captain Patterson is an officer of
the American army, but is assigned
to the British fighting forces, and
saw service with the 18th Welsh
Regiment.
He has been in France 18 months
and got in at the first and last offen-
sives which marked the downfall Of
the Hun.
The first decoration given Captain
Patterson was by the British-the
Military Cross. This decoration was
bestowed upon him for rescuing a
brother officer who was wounded aud
was lying in territory swept by the
enemy guns. At the risk of his life
Captain Patterson carried him to
safety.
The French government next deco
rated Captain Patterson, bestowing
upon him the Croix de Guerre, for re-
lief work among the civilian popula-
tion of France.
On December15th Captain Patter-
son was given the Victoria Cross, the
honor being conferred by King
George. The South Carolinian was
called from Paris to London for the
purpose of receiving the decoration
and the personal congratulation Of
the king.
Mrs. Patterson says her husband
expects to be relieved shortly from
duty with the British and is then to
be sent home.-Augusta Chronicle,
December 20.

WILSON PROPOSES CLEMENCEAU
FOR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN
Chairman Outlines
Work To Be Done
Three of Larger Subjects Response
bility for War, for Crimes During
War and Labor Legislation.

ence, destined to be historic, and on
which the eyes of the world are now
centered, was opened this afternoon
in the great Sale De La Pairix. Pre-
mier Clemenceau announced that the
league of nations would be the first
subject taken up at the next full
meeting of the conference.
Todav's proceedings which were
confined to the election of Georges
Clemenceau, the French premier, as
permanent chairman of the confer
ence, an address of welcome by the
president of the French republic,
Raymond Poincare, and speeches by
President Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George and Baron Sonnino, were
characterized by expressions of last
ing friendship and the apparent de-
termination of the representatives of
the various nations to come to an
amicable understanding with respect
to the problems to be decided by the
conference.
When President Poincare spoke,
the entire assembly stood, and the
fact that, according to custom, no
applause greeted his utterance gave
greater solemnity to the scene.
M. Clemenceau's acceptance of the
presidency of the congress was both
a feeling expression Of personal graft
tude and a definite outline of the
great questions Immediately ahead.
Three of these larger general sub
jects he defined as responsibility for
the war, responsibility for crimes
during the war and international
labor legislation. The league of ma
tions, he declared was at the head of
the programme for the next full ses-
sion.
"our ambition is great and noble
e." said M. Clemenceau. eve wish
to avoid a repetition of the catastro-
phe which bathed the world in blood.
If the league of nations is to be prac-
ticable. we must all remain united.
Let us carry out our programme
quickly and in effective manner"
Referring to the authors of the
war, he said he had consulted two
eminent jurists on the penal RESPONSE
bility of the former German emperor,
and each delegate would receive a
copy of the report.

vided for the opening session Of the
peace conference. On the outer side
of the great horse shoe were arrang-
ed the Japanese, the British and Co.
lonial delegates and the seat of the
fifth British delegate. A chair for
the fifth American delegate also was
reserved Immediately to the right Of
the table of honor.

guayan delegates sat in the order
named. Across at the left wing of
the table sat the Siamese, Rouman-
ian, Polish, Liberian, Hedjas, Guate-
malan, Ecuadorean, Chinese and b.

WILL OF MISS ANNA KEITT.
Scholarship Donated to Bamberg and
Other Counties in Old District.


count of the varied tone Of her de-
vises and the volume of her estate,
the will of the late Miss Anna Keitt,
which has just been admitted to pro-
bate at this place, is of interest. Sev-
eral public and charitable institutions
and a number of her relatives and
personal friends come in for COM
Portable remembrance. A number of
others are remembered in nominal
way. The University of South Caro-
lima, the Society for Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals at Charleston
and the Charleston Hospital share
best with the institutions, while ]. S.
Wannamaker and T. W. Dantzler,
relatives and friends, to whom she
confessed valued obligation for coun-
sci and advice in her life time, came
in for $4,000 each. The remainder
Of her estate goes to relatives, the
greater bulk to the family of her
cousin, Mrs. Anna Keitt Whaley, of
New York.
To the University of South Caro-
lima she makes a gift of $500. OF
this $4,000 is an endowment, the
proceeds of which are to support the
Lawrence M. Keitt scholarships from
the old district in congress held by
her father, now comprised of Orange
burg, Bamberg, Barnwell, Lexington
and Calhoun counties; $500 is to
be invested and the proceeds thereof
to be spent to pay for an annual
medal for oratory, the Lawrence M.
Keitt medal
The 16 acres embracing the lawn
and house surroundings of the Marl-
boro farm are to be sold and the pro-
ceeds are to go to the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in
Charleston.
After deducting these gifts from
the sale of the Marlboro farms the
balance is to go to the Charleston
Hospital to endow beds, of which one
each is to be memorial to her mother,
one to a predeceased sister and one
to herself.
The portrait of her father, Col.
Lawrence NJ. Keitt, is presented to
the State of South Carolina, to be
placed in the capitol building at Co.
lumbia.
The pen with which her father
signed the constitution of the Con-
federate States together with his Con-
federate uniform are presented to the
Confederate Museum at Richmond.
A friend in France is given a re-
membrance in jewelry, as are numer~
Gus friends and relatives on this side
of the water.
The estate consists of about 700
acres in Marlboro and about 1900
acres of Calhoun's finest soil. OF the
latter, Mrs Whaley, Mrs. Margaret
P. Walker, George P. Walker, Anna
Keitt Walker, Miss Mary Wright
Walker, relatives in New York. will
become practically absolute in their
inheritance.
A moderate estimate would place
the estate at value of $250,000, and
is one of the very few of the ante
bellum estates remaining intact at
this day.
