CARLOS CORBETT TO
FACE TRIAL LATER
DEFENSE COUNSEL SUCCEEDS IN
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Gap in Jury Selection.
The Alleged Slayer of Three Men
Will Hardly Stand Trial in
Special Term.
Gap in Jury Selection.

Orangeburg, May 8.-FolloWing 6
granting by the presiding judge of a
motion by the defense to quash the
entire venire Of petit jurors drawn to
serve at this term of court, the case
of Carlos Corbett, slayer of three men
and the blindness of another near his
home near Salley, S. c., on the night
of March 9th, last, was brought to
an abrupt close before it had gotten
under way to any extent yesterday
morning in the court.
The defense charged that the law
was not adhered to in the matter of
postponing and advertising notices
of the day and hour when the draw
ing Of the names of jurors would
take place, stating that according to
the law 10 days must elapse between
the time the notice is given and the
time of drawing the names of the
jurors. In this case, they charged,
but six days notice had been given.
The prosecution admitted the truth
of the charge but contended that it
constituted merely an irregularity
for the postponement of the case, all
other requirements, they stated hav-
ing been met.
After considerable argument by T.
NJ. Raysor, for the prosecution, and
w. c. Wolfe and Mendel l.. Smith,
for the defense, the motion was grant
ed and the case was ended as far as
this term of court is concerned.
The court house was packed be-
fore the time set for the trial and
perhaps 500 persons were in the
room from all over this county and
from other counties. The crowd was
orderly and there was no sem blance
of disorder. Relatives of the defend
ant as we'll as those of the dead men,
we're in the court room.
There have been reports that a
special term of court will be called
in the very near future in order to
call to trial the case against prison
ers now in the county Jail. At such
a term the trial of Corbett could be
resumed but there has been no au
thorative statement to the effect that
it would be taken up at special
term, should that term be called.
There is every indication that
fight would be- made by the defense
for a continuance until the Septem-
Der term of court should the case be
called at special term.-Orangeburg

BRING BOY TO PENITENTIARY.
Charged With Having Killed White
Child.

Columbia, May 6.-Sidney Riley
negro boy about 16 years old, who
is alleged to have inflicted mortal
injuries upon Vanis Warkmon, OF
Pineland, was brought to Columbia
yesterday by the sheriff of Jasper
county and was placed in the state
penitentiary.
Searching parties have been look
ing for the negro for several days, ac-
cording to advices from Ridgeland,
and it is said that he was captured
about 20 miles from the place where
the crime is alleged to have been
committed.
Accounts from Ridgeland are to the
effect that Vanis Workman, the nine
year old son and only child of Mr..
and Mrs. V. H. Workman, of Pine
land, went out in his fathers field
near his home, where some negroes
were at work. The negro boy, Sidney
Riley, is said to have resented some
remark made by the white child and
to have struck Vanis in the side. The
boy fell to the ground and all the
negroes in the field left at once and
it was with the greatest, difficulty that
the little boy got home to his mother,
his father being absent at the time.
A doctor was hastily summoned and
it was quickly ascertained that the
child was seriously injured. He was
taken to hospital in Savannah,
where an operation was performed
in an effort to save his life. The child
died at the hospital May 3.

Difference IN PARTY
CHARACTERISTICS

''The Republican party began the
recent campaign by adopting a plat
form the opening sentence of which
reaffirmed unyieldingl devotion to
the Constitution. 1t pledged resist
ance to all attempts to overthrow
the foundations of the government
or to weaken the force of its con-
trolling principles and ideals. Search
the Democratic platform from begin
ming to end and find nowhere even
an inferential expression of purpose
to uphold the Constitution. or Ameri-
can traditions. The Democratic
party began it's platform with a
tribute to an Individual, Woodrow
Wilson.
Thus was the issue, drawn, the
Republican party standing for gov
ernment by law; the Democratic
party standing for government by
men.
Naturally the two parties placed
first in their platforms the subjects
deemed of most vital Importance.
The characteristics of the two parties
may be ascertained most definitely
by study of their platforms, and
no difference is more marked than
that disclosed by comparison of the
opening paragraphs. The princi-
pies of the leading parties are for
mulated once in every four years,
when National conventions are held.
Until these principles have been Thus
changed they remain as the public
.ly expressed policies, and promises
of the parties. For four years
hence, therefore, the Republican
party will be primarily the uphold
er of the Constitution; the Demo-
cratic party will continue as an ad-
vocate of evasion of the Constitution
and reaction of a uper-government
to which the United States will be
largely subordinate.
1t is we'll for these facts to be
kept in mind for although a Ma
tional election will not occur again
for four years there will be many
young men and women in the mean
time coming to the age of majority
when custom will impel them to
align themselves with one party or
the other. All those Young people
who are believers in government by
law and support of the spirit of the
CONSTITUTION SnOdlu diiSn lHSHociNCS
with the Republican party. Those
who believe in ignoring the Consti-
tuition or openly violating its pro-
visions in accordance with this at
titude upon temporary issues which
arise from time to time shoold align
themselves with the Democratic
party.
These considerations shoudl be
kept in mind as local political con-
tests are held and couney or state
officers are elected. While National
issoes need not always control a
county or state election, yet these
local contsets have bearing upon
the National campaign. Young peo-
pie who align themselves with q
political party in local and state con-
tests are Likely to remain adherents

CHARLES JEROME IVES
Outline Biography and Memoir Of A Useful Life He
Lived In House By The Side of The Road and
Friend To Man

Charles jerome Ives was born in
Kansas City, Kansas, on the
twelfth day of September, 1873.
That is a simple statement of a
plain fact. And yet how complex that
fact must have been. II does matter
very much where one was born. The
accidentals of the place, time and
heredity of ones birth are of great
significance. They very materially
direct the course of after life. What
was there about Kansas City At years
ago that left its impress. upon the
new life which entered 10? 1t is
probable> that no finite mind ever at
tempted the impossible task of 'un-
raveling the maze Of tangled infu-
ence which touched the child's life.
Nevertheless the laws of heredity and
'enViTcmenG maintain and doubtless
ts HE was no exception to them.
Jerome and Elizabeth Ives were his
parents and bequeatAed to him the
normal inheritance of their individu-
al and combined character sites. It is
not unlikely that some traits were
acquired from preceding generations.
1t IS a scientifically truth that hered:-
ty sometimes breaks its continuity
only to reappear in children of later
period. What all these inheritances
were we have no means of knowing.
But what a flood of light they could
throw upon the subsequent career.
Whence came the genial cheeriness,
the persistent optimism, the direction
OF character, his spirit of service :?
Doubtless from many forces opera
tive upon the prastic mind As likely
the training of childhood and of those
tumultuous years called adolescence
affected the fashioning processes. His
parents brought him to Ohio when ne
was four years of age The new home
was a farm east of Fayette. Here
with brothers and Sisters, he receiv-
ed further direction of character and
career.
But through all the external influ-
ences he asserted his own will. At
an early age he was not ashamed to
publicly confess Jesus Christ his
Lord and himself a Christian. He
united with the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He threw himself into his
discipleship with wholehearted zeal.
He served as superintendent of Fay
Methodist Sunday School for nine
years and later upon moving to Wau-
soon served in the same capacity here
He was member of the Official
Board of this church. In all good
things he was interested and when
ever possible for him he was active
He freely gave himself, his time and
his money. For many years he has
faithfully rendered payment of one
tenth of his income as an acknow-
Judgement Of the Divine Ownership.
The benefciaries of his service and
benevolence are literally multitude

In 1909 he was elected Auditor = CT
Fulton County and was reelected in
1911. It was during this period of

rect the Gives Brotherhood of Boys
He was wise Big Brother. He be-
lieved that while it is difficult to do
much for boys much may be done
WITH them. He spent much time
with them, being a boy with the boys
and leading them from the rear It
would be impossible to estimate the
value of that Brotherhood to the
boys and to the community. After
some years he deemed it timely to
extend its benefits by merging 1t.
with an organization of~Boy Scouts.
One loses trace of the benefits of the
combined group on grown mea and
distant cities. 1t is not an exag-
geration to say that Wauseon is. ia
nous for her Boy Scouts and when
ever allusion is made the name o
G. J. Ives is apt to be praised. He
was always planning for the boys.
He fathered the band which is an OBJ
ject of community pride. Too great
gratitude can scarcely be awarded
him for his work with the boys. He
was father and brother to them and
sometimes mother to lonely, home
sick or tempted lads.

Trelimi inaries disposed of by the
council aside from the routine of
minute reading and adoption, includ-
ed the granting of permit to Mr..
Avery, the proprietor of Avery Inn to
construct a porch in front of that
hostelry, the former Blair Hotel ON
Depot Street.
Mr.. Avery was present to explain
that through MISUNDERSTANDING he
had begun the construction 81 the
porch before he had secured the per-
nit but that it was not his Intention
to try to put anything over the
council in so doing. The council
readily granted the permit after re-
ceiving approval of the construction
from s. b. Overmeyer, fire chief. Mr..
+. H. Guilford presented coun-
ell draft Of an ordinance to regu-
late the operations of peddlers, and
itnerant merchants within the cor
poration limits of Wu1seon. A de-
monstration of the need Of such an
ordinance was pointed out in the visit
to Wauseon week before last of a
peddler with rancoats for men and
women which he sold at prices rlng-
ing from six to sixteen dollars for
the same garment. Mr.. Guilford
pointed out that the ordinance was as
much a protection for the purchasing
pubic as for the merchants. These
peddlers and itinerant merchants con-
tribute nothing to the building up of
the town or any Of its institutions,
they pay no taxes and they have no
interestJin the community other than
TO get as much out Of the citizens in
a financial way, often as in the clse
of the rain coat man" their wares
are inferior and they get as much
or more for them than tie local mer-
chant would charge for the same
quality Of goods.
The ord nance was left with the
council for their consideration with
the assurance BY Mr.. Csuidord that
II the council should det9rmire to en-
act such legislation the merchants
of the town would defray all expense
incidental thereto.

plant.
The council on their part argued
that they were acting under the ad-
vice of he Chief Engineer of the
State Board of Health, Mr.. Ditto, who
advised them that they were justi-
fed n spending money raised for the
purpose OF improvement of the Water
Works plant in order to satisfy
themselves that the most efficient
and certain pans were being adopt
cd. following this advice the council
employed the Clark Engineering
Company to make the survey and
report to them. The bill amounted
to $1500.00 or more. The council
have no funds with VIII 'ch to pay the
bill!
The alternative seemed to involve
the carrying of the case into court a
process that would cost the village
more money.
Mr Harper, president of the
Water Board stated the position of
the Board; Mr.. f. j. Spencer of the
Water Board stated that both the
council and the Board were working
for the same thing i. e., the interests
and welfare of the village of Wau-
seon and that there should be tne
closest harmony between the two
bodies; he stated that the Board were
pos tive that they would need every
dollar of the fund raised for this
ton of the Water Works Plant ac-
co-ding to the plans adopted and II
very probable that more funds
would be needeu Cnan were at present
available; the Board sfelt that they
were justified in stopping paymen:
of the bill in question from the water
works fund inasmuch as they hac
not contracted the CeDt nor had a
vo ce in making such contract. But
said Mr. Spencer, the Board does not
wish to continue in antagonism or
oppos, tion to the council; Legal pro-
ceedngs are costly and in this case
an unnecessary expense.
Ia view of the fact that the coun-
Gil has no funds available the Water
Works Board are willing that this
bin shall 10 paid out of the Water
Works fund prov ding the council will
agree to replace the amount in the
fund when it is needed.
/ Several members of the council ex.
pressed themselves as in hearty &C.
cord with Mr.. Spencer's remarks.
d Mr.. Soule of the Water Works
\ Boz rd seconded Mr.. Spencer's pro-
position and urged that there should
be some minute to show the fact that

amount in the fund when it wa!
