The OcOnce Chain Gang.

The Oconee county chain gang is
not in as good condition as it was
last year. Some Of the reasons for
the decreased score, however, arc
only temporary departures from the
usual methods Of tho camp. Two
sick men were confined in the cages
at the time OF this visit, so that the
beds could not be made up or pro-
perly aired. Foreman Cobb had also
departed from his usual custom OF
having a pit for disposing OF the sew
age and was emptying the soil buck
cts out on the mountainside.
For the Improvement Of the camp
1t Is suggested that soil pit be dug,
that the buckets be emptied into 1t
each day, and that the waste be COW
cred with at least three inches of
earth: that the kitchen be screened
to protect the food from flies; that
In winter each prisoner be given n
scperate tub Of water to bathe in :;
that more washable covers for the
mattresses be purchased. and that
the practice Of allowing the prison
ers to initiate new convicts be abol-
ished in order to prevent bad blood
among the men as we'll as to avoid
nnwarranted punishment

NEW TRIAL DENIED TO GOsSETr
Judge Moore Says Defense Had AM
pie Opportunity to Challenge.
tAnderson Mail, 1Gth.)

A new t'al for Kenneth GOSSctt,
convicted OF rape at a special term
Of the Court of General Sessions at
Abbeville, was refused b. Judge
Moore yesterday. The refusal Of the
motion for new trial was made
public this morning when the decis-
ion was received by the Clerk of the
Court in Abbcvllc county, it having
been mailed in LaurenS and mailed
TO Abbcvile.
The motion was overrulcd on ac-
count Of the fact that Judge Noore
held that the defendant had ample
opportunity to challenge any witness
when the witnesses were sworn. All
witnesses were sworn on their voir
dire and disavowed any prejudice
in the case when sworn. The de-
fense, Judge Moore holds. then had
an opportunity to challenge any one
Of them.
Tho Motion.
The motion for new trial was
made upon the grounds that two of
the Jurors were prejudiced in their
opinions before the case was called
for trial. and that one of them had
made the statement, Damn a mar
ried man that runs around with un-
married girls" or words to that ef-
feet. The counsel for the defense
brought afr1davits from persons who
heard both the jurors make state
ments which indicated prejudice. and
appealed to Judge Moore for new
trial. On the grounds given, how
ever, Judge Moore refused the mo-
ton.
VIII Appeal to Supreme Court.
Gen. NJ. l.. Bonham, associate
counsel in the. case for the defend
ant, stated this morning that the
case would be appealed to the Su-
preme Court as early as possible.
History OF tho Case.
Kenneth Gossett and his cousin.
John Gossett. we're indicted for rape
in a special session Of court held at
Abbeville in April. The special term
Of court was ordered to be held to
satisfy a feeling Of indignation which
was then thought to reign in Able
Vile over the alleged criminal as
sault by the two Gossetts upon two
prominent young white women Of
the county. The case was tried, and
Kenneth Gossett was convicted, the
jury recommending the mercy Of the
court. John Gossett who was in
dicted as co-defendnnt was freed by
the testimony of Que OF The witnesses
for the prosecutior
The Presiding Judge gave Gpssett
the limit under the verdict returned
by the jury, sentencing him to serve
forty years at hard labor. The case
was then closed until anidavits by
the defense were produced and the
motion for new trial made. This
motion, as stated above, has now
been refused. and counsel have an
nounced their intention to appeal to
the Supreme Court for the new trial

AINSSHOUSE A AND CHAIN GANG.
Report on Institutions Made by Sec
retary State Welfare Board.

The Oconee county almshouse con-
tinues to hold its place among the
best of the smaller almshouses in
the State. Superintendent Cobb and
the county physician give the in
mates excellent attention; the loca-
tion is good, and the cottages arc
kept in fair repair. Recently several
porches have been added and one or
two roofs patched.
The chief need Of the institution Is
the installation Of water-works. The
place already has a satisfactory hy-
{ .ulic ram and tank. so that .bn
'ost OF putting in a sewerage system
nd shower baths will be relatively
lall. Showers are very cleanly, so
extra accommodations need be
made for the few negroes present at
the institution. The people Of the
county should seriously consider
making this important addition to
the comfort Of the inmates, the cost
OF which is small and can easily be
borne from the profits Of the splen-
did farm.

WHY MAKE A CHANGE

This being presidential year, the
political workers have been giving
the larger portion of their time and
attention to state and national at
fairs and but little has been said re
garding the county officers. who
really have more to do with our per-
sonal interest. The three commission
ers who must guard the financial af-
fairs of the peoples transact the
business of the county, make pur
chases and allow or disallow bills
should be carefully chosen beforN
marking your ballot on November =.
The present board of commissioners
who are seeking to be reelected,
have proven themselves conservative
in every transaction. They have not
plunged the County into debt or
made purchases that were not alb
solutely necessary. They have taken
into consideration the extreme high
prices during their term of office
and have conducted the business of
the county perhaps more conserya'
lively than their own private affairs
They are all farmers who have quite
heavy property interests and have
made a success of their own business
and are thoroughly familiar with the
needs of the county at the present
time. 1t would only seem wise to
continue them in office.

GOLDEN WEDDING LINES

The earth upon it's axis twirls,
Like a dancer on his toe.
And earth and moon around the Sun
A waltzing couple go.
And days and weeks and months and
years,
With all the seasons flow,
And yet those two in union true,
No alienation know.
What strange attraction bind those
orbs,
Their heightened lives to run;
Each lending to the other light,
1t borrows from the Sun?
How dark earth's frequent night
would be,
Without his consort true!
And should the earth inconstant
prove,
What would the dear moon do?
This faithful couple, year by year,
The scripture true have shown;
at is not good that any man,
Should always live alone"
And this great truth which women
quote,
Applies to them | ween.
Else why is It that in the Moon,
A man is always seen?
Stronger the power the Earth exerts
Upon the fair faced moon,
Sweet as the light that gives the

night
The luster of the Moon.
Enduring as the years that roll,
On this unending round,
Is the strange power, and light and
life,
That in true love abound.
The youth who told a maiden fair,
The love that in him burned,
And she, who then with modest mem
His ardent love returned,
Have walked these many years alons
Life's rough, uneven way,
Until with hallowed joy they greet,
Their Golden Wedding Day.
Now call the children home again,
And let the children see,
How blessed even in old age
A life of love may be.
Look on this dear old couple here
Their cheeks are grooyed with
care,
But love burns still with brighter
flame,
Than when those cheeks were fair.
'Tis fifty years. To youthful minds.
How long the numbers seem.
But they who reach that limit say,
ITO us 'tis like dream.
Dream then, dear friends, dream
happy dreams
Picture the scenes of your,
And hear the youthful marriage
vows,
Repeated DER and DER.
Now memory, wing your beckoned
flight
Survey the happy hours
Where mutual love and mutual toll,
Have planted fragrant flowers;
Visit the many monuments,
Which gratitude have raised,
And graved with this inscription
deep,
LET God be ever praised"
Now faith draw back the gauzy veil,
That hides the throne so near,
And let those aged Pilgrims see,
It's glory without fear.
Flood these dim eyes with Heavenly
light,
These dull ears fill with song;
And let the hope of future bliss,
Allure their steps along.
o, Angels fair, who everywhere
The Lords dear children keep,
Help these old people up the heights
OF Pirgah's summit steep;
There may they sit for many a day,
And view the landscape wide,
Until he bids you lift them up,
And watt them Ger the tide.

one day last week while out fishing
that for a time was anything but
pleasant. He was alone and had
crossed to the island on the Snake
river bottom Just west of Fruitland
and endeavoring to make a shorter
cut back, struck a new place where
there was deep quick sand. Before
he was aware of what was going to
happen he was rapidly sinking, and
in spite of his strenuous efforts to
reach the bank found himself oven
the top of his hip boots. He threw
himself down in the sand and watel
and after hard job of releasing his
legs from the sand, reeled to the
bank. 1t is not likely he considers it
a thing to laugh at, but it is too bad
some one was not there with a NOV

in a pool of blood lying on the bed
with the upper part of the body un
covered and a shotgun under the
covers where it had been kicked to
the foot of the bed by the recon OF

was discharged by means OF using
his toe on the trigger. The charge
entered the body directly over the
heart causing instant death. Mr..
