DECISION
BY SUPREME COURT
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
(By Agsociated Negro Press

(By Associated Negro Press)
Spartanburg, S. C.-The state su-
preme court in an order received here
sets aside the verdict of guilty in the
case of Will Kelly, an aged Negro of
Cowpens, this county, convicted of
attempted assault upon a little white
girl and sentenced to ten years i'm
lprisonment, and orders the Negroes
release. The supreme court says
there was no evidence upon which to
base conviction. In its order the
court says:
when man is charged with evil
thought ripened into action, his fell
Iow-triers cannot rest judgment on
their knowledge of original sin inher-
ent in the prisoner else none of US
would escape judgment The evil
thought, which is the original intent,
only becomes unlawful when he who
harbors it proceeds to put it into ac-
tion. The single act of the defendant,
testified to by the female child, does
mot tend to prove that when he put
his hand upon her that he had a Grim
Iinal intent. To so hold would hurt the
law more than it would hurt the de-
lfendant The judgment is reversed
with direction to enter a verdict of
not guilty"

Oddities Of the Frog.

If size of the head were an index
of brain power the frog would be
an intellectual prodigy It's Uranium
is huge but it's brain Is very small in
proportion to the body.
The frog has only nine vertebrate
fewer than any other animal with a
backbone possesses. Lacking ribs, Il
Is Obliged TO swallow by gulps the air
Il breathes. instead Of projecting It's
chest as we do and creating a vacuum
for air to pour into.
The frog is in his way one Of the
most wonderful animals known, mas
much as he begins life as vegetable
eating fish (or the equivalent), and
later on turns into carnivorous air

SEEK WEALTH UNDER OCEAN
Miners Think Little OF Burrowing Be
meath the Waves In Their Pur.
suit for Treasure.

Man is hurrowing animal. In the
pursuit of wealth he viii even burrow
under the sea The most valuable
iron mines in Nova Scotia are under
the ocean, There are outcroppings Of
the ore beds on shore but the miners
follow them far out as they dip down
under the sea floor
1t might be asked. how do they pre-
vent the sea floor from caving i'm upon
them? No trouble at all about that
Enough Of the iron-bearing material is
left untouched TO serve as pillars, up
holding the roof.
Elsewhere on the coast of Nova
Scotia coal is mined in the same way,
under the sea II is an excellent quail
ity of bituminous coal. On the coast
of Cornwall in England, mining is
done for tin under the ocean, the lodes
being followed out from shore The
bottom is of solid granite and the
workmen can actually hear the boul.
ders rolling about over their heads as
the storm waves drive them about.
In one case vein extraordinarily
rich in tin was found at extreme low
water in a patch Of rock. bulkhead
was built around the rock and shaft
sunk, large quantities of precious ore
being taken out before a storm wiped
out the work.

Great Writers and Their Dogs.

In the Cornhin Magazine Percy
Stevenson writes of the affection Of
Sir Walter Scott for his dogs An
author surely is known not merely by
the books he writes but by the com
pany he keeps among the brute crea-
ton" Sir Walters affection for dogs,
the writer tells us, amounted almost
to a passion" Byron loved dogs be-
cause they were unlike men, Mr. Ste
venson declares, but Scott cared for
them for their own sweet selves. Is It
too much to assert that in return for
his devotion to them the dogs Of whom
Scott wrote will help TO assure the
Immortality OF his writings? DR., John
Brown will he remembered not for his
three volumes Of sketches, "Horae
Subseclvae," but for the tender and
unforgettable "Rab and His Friends"

Loss OF Appetite.

As general rule there is nothing SER
ious about loss Of appetite, and if
you skip a meal, or only eat two meals
day for a few days, you will have a
relish for your meals when meal time
comes, Bear in mind that at least five
hours should always elapse between
meals so as to give tho food ample time
to digest and the stomach a period Of
rest before a second meal is taken.
Then if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount of OUT
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the loss of appetite is cause by
constipation, as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once A dose of
Chamberlain Tablets will do it.

May Baskets.

Hanging May baskets seems to be a
purely American custom, which prob
ably was fostered in New England.
At least, among all the varied pas
times with which the day has been
associated, there is no mention Of May
baskets in the old histories Of the day.
In New England, particularly the
May basket is exceedingly popular,
especially in the rural sections. In
the country, a girl hangs May basket
on the door Of the house in which
her beau lives. Then she rings the
bell and runs. II he catches her be
fore she reaches home, he is entitled
TO a kiss.
In the cities. the young folks are
usually content TO seno their offerings
through the mall or by a messenger
boy.

LINDEN MAN TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

Charles Lamb, aged about 55, and a
longtime resident of our neigboring
village Linden, left his home early in
the morning of Wednesday of last week.
Not returning when night set in, neigh
bors entered upon a search. The actions
of Lambs little dog caused them to
decide he had jumped into a certain old
mining shaft, at the bottom of which
was about sixteen feet of water. A
pumping apparatus was adjusted and
neighbors busted themselves working it,
even on through Monday of this week,
early in the evening of which day a
party accidentally discovered Lamb S
body in a hazelbrush thicket bordering
the northwestern section of the village.
Throat cutting brought about his death,
and there is no doubt but what he per-
sonally performed the act. The body
was in bad state of decomposition.
For some time Mr.. Lamb had been
in failing health and his spirits low
