- The supreme court has granted q
new trial to Tom Harrison, notorious
king of the Greenville underworld
who some time ago was sentenced to
fifteen years in the penitentiary upon
conviction Of manslaughter, follow
ing his trial on the charge of wife
murder. The facts in the case having
conClusively shown the guilt Of the
defendant and the jury showing hesi-
tatiorr about bringing in a verdict,
Judge Memrlinger presiding. address,
ed himself TO the jury rs follows:
Nov If there is somebody on that
jury that is absolutely fixed and made
w his mind and determined that he
will not decide this, then | am going
TO find il out: it will be known and
there Will be some notice taken of it,"
The supreme court held that the Ian
guage of the judge, tended to have
the effect of cO-erCing the jury into Il
verdict" and for that reason was un-
Hnimous in the opinion that a new
trial should he granted Harrison
killed his wife during n drunken IL
quOr party at his own home and at
the same time seriously wounded his
friend Monk Young, and at the trial
tried to excuse the deed with the
claim that he had come upon the
two under compromising conditions.
Grocnville public opinion had it that
the shooting grew out OF HaTison's
desire to get rid of his wife and take
her younger sister instead. Although
there was no doubt upon the part of
the public of Harrisons guilt, it was
the common impression that except for
Judge 'Memminger' declarations there
would have been mistrial. Follow
ing mis- conviction Harrison got his
liberty on bond, and was very shortly
afterward again indicted because Of
alleged criminal relations with his
dead wifes sister. The common Opin-
ion in GrCcnvillc now is that unless
his money is exhausted he will finally
be acquitted of the charge of wife
murder.

were the first two institutions of learn
ing for men to be erected in South
Carolina. A number of the trustees
served as members of the boards of
both colleges. Several school build
iugs have stood on the Same site as
the one about to he erected The
present building was rcmodeled In
1886, but is now considered entirely
insufficient and too much out of repair
for the present needs of the school.

81 new method of keeping hay
without curing it in the sun has been
worked out in Switzerland. The new
ly moved hay is stored on metal
sheets in silos of 40O feet capacity.
Another metal sheet closes the top of
the silo and the two sheets are con-
nccted in an electric circuit, so an al
terrating current of from 200 TO 500
volts is passed through the grass be-
tween them. This enables the grass
to be preserved in its natural state un-
I'll required. II can be cut and stored
irrespective Of weather conditions and
il contains twice the nutrimcnt of an
equal quantity Of hay.

Of some ncighbors who were going to

any honey in it worth having, and
got that; but beginning yesterday aft
ernoon the bees began dying. Some of
them would come in with their loads
and die ait the entrance of the hive,
some would so in and deliver their
loads, and then they would be dragged
out dead. Mrs. Hoke told me this aft

dead bees about the hives. She burn

five miles ordinarily, sometimes seven
miles, and the poisoning of the cotton
of course means the death of every
bee in the county--especially If the
