Mrs. Eunice Carter

On last Sunday morning, May 22,
the writer was requested by Mrs.
Eun:ce Carter (since then deceased)
to hand to the newspaper an article
in which she wished to express to the
people her gratitude and thanks for
their many kindnesses and express
sions of friendship shown her during
her illness. At the time this request
was made Mrs. Carter had hopes of
soon being up and in good health
again. Unfortunately the hand OF
Providence intervened and she has
since that been called to meet her
Maker, for which she was we'll pre-
pared. Her one ambition was, how
may l make my life count for most in
NV Masters service. How well she
did this her friends and associates
know.
The large crowd in attendance at
the funeral and burial, and the floral
offerings gave evidence of the esteem
in which she was held by those who
knew her. Her remains were laid to
rest in the plot of her husband, Mr.
H. C. Carter in Rosemon cemetery.

ford of Newberry, S c., and unanl-
mously adopted:
"Whereas, it is known to the sur
viv;ng soldiers of the Confederate

all the hardsnips incident to the lite
of the soldier, Notwithstanding the
many temptations and opportunities
to desert their employment, and
"Whereas, many Of such servants
readily encountered peril of thel1
lives in caring for their. masters or
employers, and
"Whereas, it becomes the people OF
the South to care for the survivors
an,yr- sr.ch faithful servants.
"Therefore, be it resolved, by the

servants in the armies should be
awarded according to the merit and
value of service rendered.

Death of Jeff w. Reames
Edeefeld Chronicle, 26th

Edgefeld Chronicle, 26th
The town was shocked on Monday
morning to hear the news Of the sud-
den death of Jeff W. Reames, who
was so we'll known here, this being
his birth place, and having moved in
and out among us until manhood when
he left to accept a position. Since
then he had spent very little time
here. but the affection Of his towns
people and their esteem had not died
with his absence. 1t was indeed a
sad scene when they gathered Mon
dav afternoon at the Mt. Olive Gem
etery to pay their last tribute to one
who was just in the prime of hfe'
who in a fit of dependency caused
by i'll health, snuffed out his life by
his own hand with a deadly pistol
shot in his breast while in his apart
ment at the Imperial hotel at Green
Vile on Sunday afternoon. The de-
ceased was a pharmacist of unusual
ability, one with a gentle, kind dis
position. Aside from i'll health and
much night work, there overshadowed
his life so young a cloud that made
his life indeed a sad one. "Some time
in the better land he'll read the mean
ing of his tears. Sometime he'll un-
derstand."

rade witnessed by crowd that
lined the principal streets in the early
afternoon and in which approximately
100 candidates treaded the hot sands
before the public view, the regular
ceremonial session and a ball in the
evening featured the days program.
For the unusually large class of
"fresh meat unusual preparations
were made, and it is whispered
around that events such as seldom
have been witnessed attended the
welcoming of them into the mysteries
and the fellowship of the order.
The territory covered by HeJaz

portion of South Carolina. Numbers
of prominent visitors, several from
other territories, are here, and among
these are Mobiles w. S. ("Daddy')

out of the medicinal herb or other
crude drug, by alcohol.
The pharmaceutical manufacturers
of the country have no quarrel with
the provisions of the bill that would
ban beer as a medicine, but are
greatly aroused over provision which
would require the alcohol they thus
use as a solvent to be mcdicated at
the distillery with some ingredient of
the finished product. If the distillers
are required to medicate the alcohol,
they will be robbed Of this exactng
control of their product, and as re-
suit, they will not be able to answer
to the physician for the fine precision
of their pharmaceuticals.
.Mr. Volstead's bill would also for
bid the use Of vine to make medl-
cines palatable. There are many med
icines so nauseous that the stomach
could not >rctain them long enough
for the patient to derive benefits.
There are also cases of patients so
critically weak that fit of vomiting
caused by some unpalataole remedy
mighty result in collapse and death. ,
Paint Dark Death
1t is a grewsome picture thai the
association paints. But it frankly
expresses it's opposition to beer III any
form. Apparently, it is 4 case the
merits of which are entirely depend
ent on the ownership of the Lull that
is gored.
Things are in a pretty bad shape
according to the agreement evcA OF
Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Volsteal. The
former testified that it would never
be possible to enforce prohibition or
to prepare legislation in which loop
holes are not discernible.
And then congress, for the first
time in many years displaying inde-
pendence in the fact of the prohlol-
ton masters, refused to vote the Or
ganization a sum large enough to COW
err it's expenses up to July l. This
necessitated the, reduction Of the en-
forcenlent officers and thus gave the
big centers of the country 4O-day
holiday.
And to cap the climax, Secretary
Mellon, of the department cot the
treasury, says a good word for beer,
and insists that regulations for its
dispensation as a medicine be pro-
mulgated. And doctors, according to
the new regulations, which are ap-
proved by Mr.. Mellon, will not be
limited to 100 prescriptions every 80
days. Their only restriction will be
a denial of the right to prescribe for
any one man more than once IN ten
DAYS.

CONVICTS ASHLEY
TEN YEAR SENTENCE FOR
MANSLAUGHTER
Negro Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter
and Gets Sentence OF
Three Years
The State.

The State.
Anderson, May 26-Ernest Ashley,
found guilty of manslaughter for
killing Policeman and Deputy Sheriff
Arthur T. Hughes at the close of
political meeting held in Honea Path
August "a of last year, was this af-
ternoon sentenced to serve ten years
in the state penitentiary or on the
county chaingang. The sentence of
the court was at first II years, but
an appeal was made to Judge George
E. Prince, presiding, to reduce the
sentence to ten years SO that bail
could be granted by the presiding
Judge, pending an appeal. After lis
tening to F. B Grier of Greenwood,
associate counsel for Ashley, and who
had previously implored Judge Prince
to temper justice with mercy, the pre-
siding Judge fixed the sentence at ten
years Bond was fixed at $4,000, to
be signed by two or more reliable
sureties and approved by the clerk of
the court. Judge Prince said:
81 have listened to the appeals of
counsel for the defendant and have
heard them plead for mercy for this
defendant because of his wife and
four children This is one of the sad
duties of a judicial officer, for every
time some violator of the law is pun
ished, an innocent woman and some
| innocent children suffer. But then
l must also remember the children
of the man who was killed"
The Ashley case has been one Of
the hardest contested legal battles in
the criminal court of Anderson in
long time The prosecution introduc-
ed testimony to show that Policeman
Hughes had disarmed himself short
time before Ashley fired, handing his
gun to Chief of Police Page, who was
disarmed by two of Ashley's friends.
The defendant pleaded self defense,
claiming that he had fired after the
policeman had cursed him and showed
him back, reaching for his gun as ne
did so. Defense witnesses also testi-
fed that Chief Page picked Hughes
gun from the sidewalk and that it
had not' been given to Page by
Hughes.
The defendant was represented by.
F. B Grier of Greenwood, T F. Wat
kins, G. B Greene and c B Earle of
this city, and Solicitor Leon W Harris
was assisted by Proctor Bonham of
Greenville and Gen NJ. L. Bonham
and Thomas Allen of this city.
Before the May term of the court
of general sessions adjourned this af-
ternoon, Broadus Miller, negro in
dicted for murder and held at the
county Jail following a mistrial, en-
tered a plea of manslaughter and was
sentenced to serve three years on the
county chaingang.

BRINGS DEBATE
BEER AS MEDICINE POINT AT
ISSUE
Oppose Beer but Would Not Have

Hurh w. Roberts in The State.

Hugh w. Roberts in The State.
Washington, May 26.-Rcpresenta-
tive Volstead, chairman of the judi
| ciary committee of the house, and
author of the act which tends to
make the eighteenth amendment more
or less effective, together with Wayne
B Wheeler, attorney for the Anti
Saloon league, and the innumerable
experts" called to Washington to
d:sprove the medicinal properties Of
beer, has contributed acceptably to
the merriment of the nation.
Upon every witness who dared to
speak good word for beer, Mr.. Vol
stead has frowncd impressively, and
having done so, has proceeded to taxa
issue with his conclusions. The wit
ness, no doubt imbued with the idea
that Mr.. Volstead is very great man,
retired thoroughly convinced that he,
! himself, is a fool--certainly that he
had rushed in where angels hesitate
to tread.
On the other hand, with the So
called experts invited to testify ac-
cording to the preconceived notions
of the chairman, and the majority of
the members of his committee, the
prohibitiomsts have scored very little
success. 1t is true that they have
lambasted beer from foam to sedi-
ment. But, after insisting that the
other fellow be put out of business,
they have threatened mutiny in the
event their own business is tampered

Want Adequate Supply
For instance, the manufacturer OF
extracts, after having been led to de-
nounce beer as one of the most GER
tain methods of death iinhiction, di-
crossed, much to the annoyance OF
the chairman, for the purpose of eX-
planning that his prorata share OF
available alcohol be not diminished.
The manufacturer of medicine, test
flying positively that beer has never
been known to cure an allment, has
disturbed the ethereal atmosphere by
insisting that he be permitted to use
wine to make his potions palatable.
Likewise, other interested people, af-
ter expressing their detestations for
beer. have insisted that alcohol IN
abundance be furnished them for the
purpose of preserving the ingredients
of their prescriptions.
A brewer expressed his dislike of
the proposal that beer be manufac-
tured for medicinal purposes. His tes-
timony astounded until it developed
that he had made a fortune retailing
a near beer for more than he former
ly retailed the real article. He swore
that while he, himself, obcyed the
prohibition statutes to the letter, and
had waxed fat as result, some of his
former competitors were openly vlo-
lating the law and getting off with
it," He testified that four and SIX
per cent beer was being sold openly
in Chicago, and concluded with the
advice that all manufacturers be
forced to obey the law, or permitted
freely to violate it. He made the
point, however, that his business
would surely suffer unless the sale of
real beer was estopped.
The American Drug Manufacture
ers' association has started a propa-
ganda all its own. 1t eschews beer
but opposes the frightening of the
prohibition law in so far as the shoe
p;nches it's own foot. 1t addresses
a facetious communication to the
press, some excerpts from which
follow:
