.Daniel Edward Hvdriek was born
Aua.t. 6. 1860. in Orangeburr.
South Carolina. He was the son o'
Jacob H. Hydriek and Margaret Hil
debrand Hvdrick. His father was a
4?-rner. a m111anl of marked- character,
i:e. fr hi1n":'Itv. t,ltuihfulness and
*v"aclity of putp)Se. His mo:hr.i
wno was pmzsessed of mo- than ordi
nary intelleetual attainments, devot
ed herself to t,he education and moral
trainiig of her children. To her in
fluence, and to the inspiration deriv
ed from !h1er thigh ideals of life and
character, more -than ;to anything else,
Daniel Hydrick attiributes wihat meas
ure of ;sucoess he 'has achieved.
"Daniel Hydrick 's maternal
grandfatfher was Jacob Hildebrand,
whose wife was Jeu-ima Leonard. His
paternal grandmother was -an Evans.
"Daniel Hydrick's early life was
unevenful but pleasant. He enjoyed
good 'health, [was fond of reading, but
never took much interest in boyish or
outdoor sports. His youth was pass
ed in tihe coun:try on 'his fathar's
farm. He did all sorts of farm work,
ad was a clerk in a grocery store,
and later in a drag store, -.eeking al
ways %to do as well as he could what
ere he undertook.
"Daniel Hydrick's opportunities
for schooling were meagre, the terms
being short and irnegular, but he was
determined ;to obtain a collegiate edu
calion, and so made the .most of the
imited opportunities afforded by
these sc'hools. He attemnded Ca.pt.

"In October, 1882, he aeeepted the
principalship of the Darlington Male

years. At tihe end of this time he gave

JONES DENIED NEW TRIAL.
Vudge Memminger Holds that His
Conviction Was Regular and
Gives Him Life Sentence.
Union, February 12.-Jndge Mem
minger, alt 4.30 o'clock this afternoon,
refused the motion for a new .trial in
the ease of the State vs. W. T. Jones,
and sentenced Jones to the peniten
tiary for life.
The judge 's decision came after -he,
had listened for hours .to an elabor
ate, foreeful and eloquent argument
from Cgl. George John&tone, of New
berry, of counsel fo(r -thie defendant.
The motion was taken up about 10.,'0
o'clock .bh,.s morning, civil busines
being temporarily adjourned for that
prpose 'and from 'that 'hour till 4.30)
this afternoon 'with ithe exception of
an hour's recess for dinner, Col. John
stone pleaded for :a new trial for his
lient, basing 'his -argument on objec
ions to ..the form of the indietment,
alleged errors of 'the judge in his rul
ings on testimony and ceharge to the
jury. and upon01 alida,vies from several
parties who swore that several of .the
ju'rors, before they were drawn on t-he
inry, had expressed opinionls hiostile
to the defendan.t. At the conclusion
f Mr. JohnLstone's address, the judge,
in a few words, stated that 'le was
sarisfied .that :the defendant had had
a fair t.rial; that the jurars were nhon
est and im'pai.ial in their verdiet ;
that 'no error of law prejudicial to the
defendant had been committed, and
that, therefore, he could na:t gra'nt a
new t.rial.
When Jones was called upon and
asked what he had to say, whyv sen
tence should not be passed upon him,
he replied, "Notshing, except I am ini
noent.'' Judge Memminger then, in
a brief address, ad1monished Jones to
ive u'p all hope of a newv trial and to
turn .to the consolations of Ireligion
and to so conduct himself that from
another source .more merciful treat
menit mighit be extended to 'him. Fol
lowing these remarks, the sentence of
the law was p)ronnunced, and .Jones
was remandedc ito jail. Thus ends for
the :present, at least, one of the most
notable cases in the history of juris
pruidenc~e in this State. T;ha't Jon'es
will fight to the bitter end he has al
i'ad'v announced.
"DIXIE."
It is Not Impossible that it will Be
come the National Anthem.
Wahington Times.
"Dixie'" is one of 'the tunes thbis
newspaper likes. It is 'a tune you can
pat time to. From St. Ignace to New
Orlea'ns the whole country cheers It
North as well a~s Soutth, Brahmin New
England and slab-sided Rawhide
alike. Moreover, it is :not alt all im
possible .that "Dixie" is :t'o be the
rel national anthem.
This latest controvers,y has given
the air new life. Nobody knows just
what it was that declared tihe song
treasonable. . Soatier'n niewspapers
say it was Chi'cag. Chicago says it
doesn' t know angthing about it. But
the charge got into print, somebody
resrrected -an a-necdote showing that
Lincoln liked to he~ar it, evory theatire

audiences to applaud with it, ('no mat
