Work Of Former
Resident of Union

Union people will be interested to
hear of the wonderful success Mrs.
Mabry Rice has made in New York
City. She is studying voice with the
greatest teacher in that city and the
New York critics speak in glowing,
glorious terms of her progress.
At recent concert at the Mac
Dowell Gallery, Mrs. Rice appeared
on the program for a couple of songs
and charmed the audience into rounds
of applause. Her voice is spoken of
as clear, high soprano of marvellous
sweetness and range.
Union people will welcome an op-
portunity to hear Mrs. Rice sing and
it is hoped that she may be induced
to come to this city in the spring.

CORBETT CASE TO
BE- CONTINUED

Orangeburg, Jan. 1O.-Carlos Car
bett will not be called for trial at this
ter moi court for the killing Of Hugh
Tanning, Judge Prince granting a
continuance in this case. On yes
terday motion for continuance was
made by the attorneys for Carlos
Corbett, addressing the motion to the
discretion of the court on the ground
that in the case against Corbett for
the killing of julie Cooper the plea
of former jeopardy had been sus-
tanned by the, trial Judge, reversed
by the state supreme court and ap.
peal pending in the United States su.
preme court and pending that de-
cision the case for the killing of Hugh
Tanning should not be had.
The prosecution argued that one
of the two eye witnesses, Jones Sal
ley, was old and infrm, with both
eyes shot out by pistol ball passing
through the head, severing the optic
nerves, and that to wait two years un
til the decision of the United States
supreme court material witness may
pass away and the state suffer ma
terial loss in its testimony.
1t will be recalled that in March,
1920, on Saturday night, between
II and IL O'Clock, Carlos Corbett shot
and instantly killed Bryan Salley, julie
Cooper and Hugh Tanning and so
dangerously injured Jonas Salley as
to cause the loss of both eyes, when
an attack, according to Corbett's tes-
timony, was made upon his person
and castle on his premises by
drunken men. The prosecution de-
MED any attack or drunkenness. Cor
bett was acquitted by the jury on
the first trial, that of killing Bryan
Salley. This has come to be one of
the famous murder trials of South
Carolina.
The attorneys engaged in the case
are: Solicitor A. J. Hydrick, Thomas
NJ. Raysor and Adam H. Moss, all of
,Orangeburg, for the prosecution; Viii
liam C. Wolfe, j. Leroy Dukes and
James H. Tanning of Orangeburg,
Cole L. Blease and B. ]. Wingard of
: Columbia and Mendel l.. Smith of
Camden for the defense.

GRIFFITH ELECTED
IRISH PRESIDENT

bupih, JAN. III 10y Cne ASSOclaCeu
Press) ).-When the dali eireann ad :
journed tonight by consent of all
sides to February ID, the situation
which last night was dangerous and
obscure had been to a great extent
clarified. The new president, Arthur
Griffith, new cabinet member had
been elected and the way had been
smoothed to putting into effect the
terms of the treaty.
The following cabinet officers were
named:
Minister of finance, Michael Col
Inns.
Foreign affairs, George Gavan
Duffy.
Home affairs, Eamon j. Duggan.
LOGAN government, William T..
Cosgorve.
Economic affairs, Bryan O'Higgins.
Defense, Richard Mulcahy.
Immense relief is felt in Dublin at
the turn events have taken and this
will undoubtedly be experienced
throughout Ireland.
The temporary withdrawal of
Eamon De Valera and his supporters
from the dali, whi rumor had fore
cast, prvoed not to involve a perman
ent split. Mr.. De Valera confined his
protest to the election of new presi-
dent, declaring his unwillingness to
recognize the suitability to that post
of man who, as chairman of the
London delegation was bound to give
effect to the treaty, which, according
to De Valera, Subverts the republic.
During the luncheon hour Mr.. De
Velara and hisassociates who left the
hall held private meeting. Some of
the more ardent spirits advocated re-
fusal to return, but moderate coun-
sells prevailed and the dali reassem
bled as united body. The De Valera
party is meeting again tonight to
formulate plans for the future but it
was made evident by the numerous
speeches from Mr.. De Valera what
their plans are likely to be.
He holds that the decision of the
dali in favor of the treaty binds hin,
and his adherents not to bostruct the
new government in carrying out the
treaty, but he reserves the right to
free. criticism, should Mr.. Griffith in
the eapaeity ehairman of the PRO,
visionaf government do anything IN
consistent with the rights of the Irish
people or the existence of the Irish
republic.
At the same time he expressed the
conviction that English hostility may
have to be faced. There is still in.
tense suspicion existent on both sides
of the dali as to the good faith of the
| British ministry. De Valera was
clear in his assurances of hte full
support of his party in resisting ar
attack from an outside enemy.
Mr.. Griffith was repeatedly pressed
by Mr.. De Valera to define his posi-
ton, which De Valera described as {
new case of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
Mr.. Griffith was challenged to de
fine his attitude toward the republic
and it evidently was supposed tina
he would have difficulty in reconcilinf
his position as president with the po
sition for chairman of the provisional
government

FORD EXPECTS
ANSWER SOON

i Washington, Jan. TO- War depart
ment officials looked forward today t.
an early conclusion of negotiations
they have been conducting with pri-
vate interests for the lease, purchase
and operation of the governments nj
strate and waterpower projects at
Muscle Shoals, Ala, or a decision for
their etention by the government in
the event none of the proposals re-
ceived is found acceptable TO the de-
partment or to congress.
The visit of Henry Ford. set for the
latter part Of this week, it was said,
probably would lead Secretary Weeks
to take definite action at an early
date on proposals submitted by the
Detroit manufacturer. Whether the
secretary would decide to recommend
its acceptance to congress or satisfy
himself with submitting a report to
that body merely reciting ne facts of
the case and leaving congress TO de
eide for itself on acceptance or rejec-
tion was said to depend largely upon
the answer Mr.. Ford would give to the
questions Mr.. Weeks will ask him.
The war department has prepared a
questionnaire which, in the opinion of
some officials, will lead to quick action
by the secretary when Mr. Ford ar
rives. The questions are described as
being pointed with the intention Of
bringing the negotiations to an end
without delay and designed to bring
the parties concerned 10 a thoroug,,
understanding of their positions.
Former Senator Marion Butler OF
North Carolina was informed today
that Mr.. Weeks would confer with
Frederick Engstrum, president of the
Newport Shipbuilding company Of
Wilmington, N. c., as soon as the APP
preaching conferences with Mr.. Ford
were concluded. Mr. Butler also pre-
sented a letter 10 the secretary t.
which Mr.. Engstrum formally agreed
| to lease and operate the Muse
Shoals plants for the manufacture OF
| commercial nitrates under the pro.
posal submitted by his company. The
scoilstruction part of the proposal
made by Mr.. Engstrum, he said, was
/ Incidental to the manufacture of com
nercial nitrates.
| r. C. Hitchcock, vice president OF
4 the CONSTRUCTION Company of NORTH
y. \ ! ahnouAeed tAat his cssea
pany would formally offer plan tc
the secretary which would contain 6
provision for the manufacture of fer.
tiliZers in the event the concern was
permitted to bring the plants to fina
stage Of completion. Revision of th,
original plan proposed by the con
struction company, it was said, wa!
being made by its engineers in Cali
fornia and probably would be com
pleted and the modified propose
placed in the hands of the war depart
ment within q week.

Chairman Brandegee, seeking to Gu,

minds cf members as to whether the
witnesses had seen and were attempt

Counsel for Major Opi", in a brief
statement at the conclusion Of the
Opie testimony, expressed the hope
that there might be speedy finding
