TWO. WILL SERVE
FIFTEEN YEARS
OF MANSLAUGHTER
IN ANDERSoN-WALTER L.
HAYES AND ED WILSON GET
PRISON sENTENcEs-TWo TO
PAY FINES.

Anderson. Sept. ,24.-Walter L.
Hayes, wealthy Anderson county
merchant, and his brother-in-law,
Ed. Wilson, were sentenced here to-
day to serve 15-year term in the
state penitentiary at Columbia on
conviction of manslaughter by jury
which tried them for the killing Of
T.. F. Ramey near here last July.
George Wilson, father Of Ed. Will
son, and Allen Emerson, the other
two defendants, were sentenced to
pay fines of $108 each and to serve
80 days on the county chaingang,
the jury having held them guilty only
of carrying concealed weapons. The
jury rendered it's verdict, after %
hours of, deliberation.
Counsel for the accused men said
later they were considering appeals
on the cases. Hayes and Ed. Wilson
will not be allowed bail as South
Carolina statute prohibits bail where
sentence is more than ten years.
Allen Emerson and George Wilson
had previously been convicted of
killings and were serving life terms
when paroled in 1912 by the COVER
nor. The present charges grew out
of fight at Ramey's home, the state
contending the defendants tried to
beat up Ramey over an old quarrel
and they asserting they went to his
home to make peace and he started
a quarrel.
| Just after the announcement of the
verdict of the jury, the counsel for
defense asked the indulgence of the,
court for a period before pronounc-
ing the sentence, stating that it
wished to present point in the case.
The jury after deliberating all
night came opt at 10 o'clock and
asked the Judge for Instructions as
to aiding and abetting. Judge Moore
charged the jury concerning the law
| in regard to the one defendant being
responsible for the acts of each 9th
er when acting in common cause.
In sentencing Hayes and Ed Will
son, Judge Moore told them that the
jury had rendered verdict that
showed a merciful attitude, and had
given them the benefit of every rea-
sonable doubt. "This sentence, as
,well as being a punishment for the
crime committed, is warning and
deterrent to others of this county
and state," said Judge Moore. The
state penitentiary was designated as
the place of confinement.

Abbeville High School opened its
football season Friday in Elberton,
Ca, with the Elberton High School,
ancient rivals, as opponents. And
right lusty opponents they proved to
be, the final score being z to z.
Although not a brilliant struggle
in view of the unreasonable and
Oppressive heat, it was nevertheless
a very satisfactory game for the
sandlappers, that is, in everything
except the score. The Abbeville team
showed considerable promise and
performed in manner that indicates
they will do extremely well this sea-
son.
Some. complaint was made on the
part of the Abbeville boys regarding
the work of the referee and umpire.
From all reports this faulty work
was probably due to the fact that the
officials were not up on the game.
The Elberton authorities should have
secured experienced officials, even if
they had to go out of town to get
them. When teams visit Abbeville
they are always allowed the privll-
ege of selecting the umpire, at least.

lieved of the embarrassment fire.

this occasion was Abbeville.

Eugene Mecord Fined Fifty or Six

Eugene McCord went on one
chicken raid too many. It is useless
to denote the race when chicken
stealing is the crime, for everybody
knows the propensity of the negro
for lifting the feathered fowls from
the YARD or roost. . Eugene got
caught on one of his rampages Sat-
urday and this morning the mayor
tined him $50 or 60 days. -.
The latest complainant against
Eugene was w. D. Carroll. McCord
was caught with the goods in sack
and could not give a satisfactory &C.
count Of the source. The testimony
was damning enough to justify con-
viction. The sack contained other
chickens than those Of Mr.. Carroll,
it is said The activities OF McCord
in the white folks chicken yards has
been known for some time. In fact
he has been hauled before the au-
thorities before on the same charge.
On one. occasion he visited the yard
Of DR.. McMurray on Main street in
broad open daylight, when no one
was at home. He gathered up a sack
full of the egg-producers and went
TO the house next door and sold
them. He was sent down the street
to Mr.. Barksdale for his money and
he was caught before he completed
his sale.

forget that voice once heard, and he
was right. He remembered it. It was
the voice Of Mr.. Duke Beamer. whom
he had had the distinct pleasure of
blackballing for one club in college
and three in town. Mr.. Beamer, TO his
honest mind was the best living ex-
ample of animated slime in tailor
made clothes.
Mr.. b. was not alone; Mr.. Randolph
could just see his companion through
the slant OF the half-raised window
glass. and even that distorted glimpse
was very close TO vision. The girl
was young, beautiful, and troubled.
Her cheeks were thin and pale, her
parted lips aquiver; her chin was
atremble. OF course she was very
cheaply but neatly clothed

ing voice. Ride with me or walk the
streets by yourself and don't forget
that there's no job behind you. You've
said good-by TO that door for good"
The girls wan face went through
that contortion which says, 81 won't
cry" and doesn't thereby achieving
pity beyond the need Of tears. The
quivering of her lips, the trembling of
her chin grew more pronounced-only
TO steady down as she swept up strick-
en- and imploring eyes to the face of
the unseen man.
"Oh, Duke" she begged, promise
promise you'll be always good to me-"
"Of course, little one" said the rasp-
ing voice, promptly and much relieved,
promising lightly to pay on demand,
in full for a soul delivered in advance.
You'll never regret it, believe me-"
The girl tore her doubling eyes
from his face and stepped toward the
cab. Mr.. Randolph made himself ex-
ceeding small in the corner nearest
the curb. An unseen agent opened the
door; the girl slipped in and turned to
seat herself; her escort made to follow.
Then did Mr. Randolph suddenly lean
forward and proceed to push in the

THOUGHT FOR SCOUT PATROLS.

There is a nature club for bows in
Ontario which encourages members to
take the names of native birds or an
imals, even fishes and reptiles. using
the Indian version of the name where
possible. Fortunately it does not re-
quire the boys in every case to take
on the characteristics of their animal
names. But it might be good practice
in nature study to expect every MEM
Der to be thoroughly informed upon
the species from which he takes his
club membership name. Each troop
of boy scouts is divided into patrols
each with a distinguishing name of a
natural object, usually some wild an
imal, and the editor of Scouting" in
commenting on the Ontario clubs idea.
says that this easily leads to the sug-
gestion that patrol names might be
utilized far more than they are, as a
starting point for definite lines of ma
ture study, leading up to interesting
evenings when members of patrols
present for the benefit of all peculiar
facts about the birds or animals rep
resented in the patrol name.

SPECIAL MEDAL FOR THIS DOG
ST. Bernard Forgot Eternal Feud With
Cat Family and Braved Flames
to Save Pussy.

The supply of Carnegie hero medals
would soon give out if all the brave
and thoughtful dogs were remembered.
A st. Bernard in the town of Everett,
Mass, mindful of the traditions of
snOwbOund travellers and his Alpine
monastery, has just effected a triple
rescue that entities him to whatever
dogdom can offer in the way of canon
ization, to match the name of the saint
that his devoted breed already bears.
First he woke up the families in two
apartments by his loud barking when
a fire broke out, and then. having
started the human beings on their hur-
ried exodus to safety, he darted back
through the smoke, got the family cat,
which had been forgotten in the ex-
citement, and reappeared with his
tribal enemy in his mouth. Would all
human beings have been so magnani-

ROPE SUPERIOR TO LEATHER.
Fibrous Material Rapidly Supplantng
Betting in American and Euro
pean Mills and Factories.

For 20 years there has been an in
creasing use in this country of manila
rope for power transmission in mills
and factories in place of leather belt
ing. In English factories ropes super
seeded betting long ago, and their use

SCOUTS IN WINTER CAMPS

Winter camping for the Boy Scouts
of America is Mt last becoming more
popular than summer camping.
Amongst the entire membership of
nearly 100000 boy SCOUTS in the
United STATES last summer, 100000
were enrolled for summer camps, and
already the national headquarters has
received reports Indicating that the
number enrolled for winter camps and
weekend camps during the winter
months will exceed 100000 members
of the organization. During the
Christmas holidays 165 boy scouts
from Greater New York encamped at
Kanohwahke Lakes in Interstate
park. which is the site of the largest
boys camp in the world, where nearly
10000 boys camped throughout the
last summer season. This is the
largest number of scouts that ever
went camping together IN the middle
of winter in the northern states.
At the same time there were winter
holiday boy scout camps in Pawtucket,
r. l.; Lancaster and Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Omaha and Minneapolis. These were
what are known as "snow camps" At
the same time there were many camps
in the southern and milder climates,
including Miami, Fla; Birmingham,
Ala; Los Angeles, and in many other
sections of the South. In the ex-
IRENE South it has been found that
the winter months are preferable to |
the summer months for camping and |
there the principal training camps of |
the year are held in these months.
There are many reasons why winter
camps in the North are becoming so
popular. They give opportunity for
