ST. SW|TH|N THIS YEAR
APPEARS TRUE TOFORM
Ancient Churchman, According to
Tradition, Still Has SO Days
J Left in Rainy Season.

St. Swithin-or Swithun. as it was
formerly spelled-so far has batted
1000 in the precipitation league
Tuesday. July IS, was the special day
of the old monk. Rain fell that day.
According to the ancient proverb
which originated away back in the
eleventh century. rain on st. Swithin's
day means rain on each of forty days
following The moist old saint has
only thirty-six days more to go, with
the weather man forecasting showers
for tomorrow. 1t has already rained
today.
Differing Explanations.
Nobody knows just why a rainy st.
Swithin's day means forty-day
damp spell. One old legend has it
that when the saints bones were
moved from their original resting
place away back in the zoos he mani
tested his displeasure by drenching
with a tremendous downpouT. Church
history, however. discounts this, hold
ing that the removal was in accord
ance with st. Swithins own request,
made before he passed beyond.
Profane history gives still another
angle, saying the rain myth is a hang
over from pagan days, merely tackled
onto the old saint for the protection to
be found beneath his aegis. Anyhow
other countries and other saints have
other rainy days, notably France, with
three. and Flanders, to say nothing of
Germany's Seven Sleepers day.

WOULD INVESTIGATE GIFTS.
ROdenberS Wants to Probe Rumors
Conr erning President.

Washington. Sept. 23.-Declarins
that it was 'the grave constitutional
duty of the House Of Representative
to ascertain whether any gifts were
received and accepted by the Presi-
dent of the United States in VIOLA
ton of the constitution, Represen-
tative Rodenberg, Republican, ILL
nois, introduced a resolution today
directing the judiciary committee to
Investigate the reports and obtain an
inventory of such gifts and their
value. The committee also would be
authorized to ascertain what custom
duties were paid.
Representative Rodenberg said he
introduced the resolution to clear up
rumors that the president and men,
bers of his family were recipients of
gifts while in Europe aggregating in
value more than S5OO,0O0."
''If there should be no foundation
for these rumors,' he said, "a great
injustice is being done to the reputa-
tion of the president and he is entitl-
ed to eXoneration."

to him, that they had been hunting
the day of the homicide.
The first surprise of the trial came
when the solicitor placed Owen
Cooler, the seventeen-year-old son OF
defendant, on the stand. At the pre-
liminary trial and at the first trial of
the case young Cooler had testified
to having been near when his father
and Davis shot the deceased. He
gave the testimony on which the
State depended for conviction at the
former trial and Solicitor Warren
expected that he would corroborate
the testimony given at the trial, but
when he was placed on the stand. he
said that he had lied at the prelimi-
rary trial and at the former trial.
He claimed that his grandfather hat
ed the defendant. Cooler, and had
forced him to testify as he did at the
former trials. His grandfather is
now dead and the restraint removed,
and he. in consequence, could tell the
truth.
The defense did not put up any
witnesses and argued that the State
had failed to make out case. The
Jury rendered a verdict in about fif-
teen minutes after going to their
room. Cooler and Davis, who were at
one time in the shadow of the electric
chair. sentenced to be electrocuted
April 10. 1917, were thus enable to
walk out free men.

COOLER AND DAVIS ACQUITTED.
Son of Former Changes His Previous
Testimony.

Walterboro. Sept. 26-The jury
returned a verdict of not guilty in
the case of Aleas Cooler and Will Da-
Wis, tried for the killing of w. D.
Thomas. the woods rider for the Okla
tee Club. 1t took them only few
minutes to arrive at this verdict,
which was announced at $50 We'd
nesday afternoon. Thus has ended
one of the most interesting murder
cases ever had in this part of the
State.
The trial of the case did not take
an entire day here, while on a former
trial at Ridgeland it consumed eight
days. The empanelling Of jury took
only few minutes when the case was
called Wednesday morning and the
trial of the case proceeded rapidly.
Solicitor George Warren was alone
for the prosecution, while the defend
ants were represented by Senator H.
K. Purdy and ]. P. Wise, ESQ.,, of
Ridgeland, who were of counsel for
Aleas Cooler, and w. W. Beckett. Of
Beaufort, counsel for Will Davis.
The first witness for the prosecu-
tion was Mr.. Thomas, son of the
deceased, who testified as to the miss
ing of his father and the subsequent
hunt for him when he did not return
the night of December 20, 1919. Fur
ther details of this were brought out
by the testimony of 1. Floyd and D.
O. Fleming, who we're also employed
by the Okatee Club as woods riders.
They described how the deceased was
found on the afternoon of the 23rd of
December, dead in the woods, two
and half miles from any human hab-
itation, being under his horse, also
dead, both having been killed by buck
shot wounds in the head. Mr.. Thomas
had the reins of his bride grasped in
both hands with gloves on. He had
a pistol, but it was in holster in a
haversack, and this was found un-
derneath the horse.
Sheriff H. H. Porter, of Jasper
county, at the time of the killing,
testified to having arrested Cooler and
Davis and of confessions they made
