The trial of Michael Markovich for the
 20, was started Tuesday afternoon. The
 case was prosecuted for the state by
 States Attorney Thomas Noone and
 Markovich was defended by Attorney
 Michael J. Luddy of fThompsonville. On
 Tuesday six members of the jury
 were chosen out of panel of thirty -one | talesman as follows: Clayton Reed o1
 Holland, c. J. Clark of Ellington, Ca ptain
 Charles H. Allen of Rockville, Fred A. Green of Columbia, John M. Larned of
 Stafford, and William l.. Ayers. The
 court session adjourned at 4:45 o'clock
 and conference was held at this time
 between States Attorney Thomas F.
 Noone, Attorney Michael G. Luddy and
 Judge Donald T. Warner The court
 session was then put over and the ju-
 TOTS warned not to discuss the case and
 to be in court at 10 o'clock Wednesday
 morning. When court opened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning a conference was held between the attorneys for the state and the judge. At I0:35 the court session was opened and Judge Warner asked the clerk to call the jury. Thirty
 two members responded. The sheriff was then directed to bring the prisoner
 before the bar. He pleaded guilty to second degree murder. States Attorney Thomas F. Noone made statement in
 regard to the case. He told how Marko-
 vich's wife left her home, July 12 and
 went to the home of neighbor and later
 to the home of Louis Wells and asked to sleep in the barn. The Wells family took
 pity on her and offered her bed. She brought one of her children with her and went back for another She remainded
 there until the fatal day of the shooting, July 20. MT. Noone told how Markovich came to the Wells home on July 2Oth early in the afternoon and came back again at o'clock, when he shot Wells through the heart. The story was traced by the states attorney showing how met a neighbor whom he told of the shooting and saying that he was going to commit suicide. He later gave himself up at the suggestion of friend. Mir. Noone then took up the matter as to whether Markovich was fully account able. He said that in view of his violent temper and emotions it would seem wise to allow a change in the charge. The states attorney told of having the prisoner examined by Dr. Thompson and Dr. Downs and another alienist and they were of the opinion that he was not fully accountable At the conclusion of Mr. Noone's ad- dress, MT. Luddy spoke, saying that there was nothing he could add but that he was deeply impressed with the fair mindedness of Mr. Noone. Judge Warner then addressed MT. NOOne, saving that his attitude was

Human EraiIties.

Our structure, both external and in- ternal, is full of imperfectiOn yet there is nothing in nature but what is of use, not even inutility itself. There is nothing in. this universe which has not some proper place 1t it.. Our being Is cemented with certain mean qualities; ambition, jealousy, envy, revenge, superstition, despair have so natural lodgment in us that the image of them is discerned in the brute beasts; nay cruelty itself, vice so much out of nature; for even in the midst of compassion we feel within us an unaccountable bitter-sweet titil- lation of ill-natured pleasure in seeing another suffer, and even children are sensible of it.-Montaigne.

Chinaman Finds Jov In Work

While nature has been kind to China In the gift of natural resources. the nature and quality of her people jus- tify high expectations of their ability to utilize these resources for the bene- fit of all mankind. The Chinese have wrought out a standard of living which for efficiency in the realm of labor challenges the world. When the state ment is made that a Chinese laborer can work for 12 hours of the 24 for 15 cents day and board himself, the suggestion will naturally come to mind, but what of the quality of the work ? The Chinaman has not yet raised the question of the number of hours which constitutes a days work. He tolls un- complainingly from break of day until the evening star Is clearly in sight, and this he will do every day of the week. Holidays are not frequent, and work Is the source of his joy.

TO ADVERTIS RS.

It is necessary to make another in crease in the prices for advertising in The Press in order to keep it on a paying basis. On October 1st all ad- vertising rates will be advanced 10 per cent. The rates of The Press will still be much lower than the average weekly newspaper. I wish to thank all advertisers for their liberal patronage in the past and hope for continuance of the same. The life of a newspaper depends on it's advertising receipts and the present expenses for all that goes into the making of a newspaper has greatly reduced the net income of the same.

LARGE VERDICT RENDERED

Bamberg, Nov. 1.-THE case of DR..
J. w. Wyman, of Denmark, against
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany, resulted in one of the heaviest
verdicts ever rendered IN this county,
damage to the amount of $4,000
being awarded for personal injury.
No punitive damage was asked. This
case, on account of the p rom
inencc of the plaintiff, who is one of
the leading physicians IN this section.
has attracted wide attention. The
case was begun last Friday morning
and was concluded Monday pight,
when the jury returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff.
DR.. Wyman, in company with Mr..
Cloyd, whom DR.. Wyman had picked
up on the road, was returning from a
visit to a patient last April to his
home in Denmark. AS he approached
the Atlantic Coast Line crossing at
Denmark, according to the testimony
Of witnesses, freight train was
blocking the road. He stopped is au
tomobile a few feet from the tracks
and waited for the freight to get
across the road. AS soon as the train
passed it is stated, hearing no signal
nor seeing any flagmcn, he d rove on
to the track Immediately behind the
last car of the freight. AS his car
reached the track behinc: the freight,
another freight going south struck
the automible, dcmolishing it and
throwing DR.. Wyrnan on the cow
catcher of the engine. He sustained
serious injuries, resulting in nearly
five weeks spent in hospital
| AS result of his injurise DR.. Wy
man asked for 5000 actual dam
ages, and the j ury gave him $4,000.
/ The other occupant of the car, Mr..
| Cloyd, sustained less serious injuries,
and suit brought by him is pending.

LIQUOR CAUSES -FOUR DEATHS
Many Seriously Ill as Result of
Drinking Substitutes.

Columbia. November -Four
deaths and about twenty cases of Sc
rious illness have occurred in Colum-
bia recently from drinking substitutes
for Intoxicating liquors, according to
the local police department.
Locally, the prohibition law appar
emily is a dead letter, for there have
recently been many cases of drunk
eness here, and it is, an "open secret"
that it is no hard job to purchase Ii
quor from illicit dealers here. Rumor
has it that it can be bought from
"blind tigers operating in the heart
of the town. However, liquor is
luxury here, for the market price is
SIG per quart, for an inferior, grade.
The real trouble in Columbia results
from the drinking of shoepolish, Bit
ters, extracts and doctored "monkey
rum," etc, according to the police.
These connections evidently have some
powerful poison in them, as their vic
tins become unconscious, foam at the
mouth, become unconscious, and some
times die.
Recently a prominent farmer from
the lower section of Richland county
visited Columbia, where he met one of
his friends who invited him to i'm
bibe. He took two drinks Of some
sort of liquor with his friends, and
shortly afterward became unconscious
frothcd at the mouth and snapped like
he had hydrophoba. Immediate
medical aid was all that saved his
life.
At the meeting of the South Caro-
lima Advancement Association here
Wednesday, Gov. Cooper, in his speech
took a somewhat discouraged view of
Illicit distilling. He said that stills
were being operated in every part or
the State and that reports were COM
in gto him daily Of illicit distillation.
He stated that he lacked the funds to
give prompt attention to all the re-
ports, and had to rely largely on pub
lie opinion to stop the making of IL
quor
The force Of constables employed by
the governor have been doing heroic
work during the past several months,
assisted by federal agents, in breaking
up stills and arresting offenders. 1t
seems, however, as soon as one still is
consficated or destroyed, two OF three
others arise to take their place.
