"A flag of truce!" he exclaimed.

STATEMENT FROM MB. REID.
Magistrate Says Grand Jury Was Mis
informed as to His Action in
Mose Farrow Case.
Chappells, S. C., Dec. 5, 1910.
Mr. W. H. Shelley, Foreman Grand
Jury, Newberry County.
Dear Sir: Upon reading the present
ment of the grand jury for the fall
term of 1910, as published In the coun
ty papers, I was astounded at the
statement made upon Information re
ceived concerning the settlement of
the Mose Farrow case.
Now the facts in the case are as
follows: Some time during Septem
ber, 1910, one Lee Spearman, came to
my office and swore out a warrant
against one Mose Farrow, charging
him with being drunk and disturbing
the peace of religious service at Little
River church in August, 1910. The
warrant was placed in hands of Spe
cial Constable J. W. Darnell, for exe
cution, the regular constable being
absent at the time. Before the day
set for trial of the case Lee Spear
man, the prosecutor, withdrew the
warrant, stating that the case had
been settled out of court and among
themselves. I had nothing whatever
to do with the settlement, knowing
nothing of it until request was made
to withdraw warrant, nor did I re
ceive one cent in pay either directly
or indirectly.
Your reliable informer has misrep
resented the case entirely either
through ignorance or with the malic
ious intent of reflecting on me, rath
er than a desire to see justice done.
It Is to be regretted that any person,
no matter bow unfriendly should be
the feeling existing, would willfully
make a charge of so grave a nature
until they were positive of the truth in
the case.
I feel that a great injustice has been
done me and in further proof of the
case above referred to I w2l submit
to the solicitor certain affidavits of
repitable persons who were present
at the settlement of case outside of
my court, who tetsify that I was not
connected in any way with settlement
of same.
Yours respectfully,
W. R. Reid.
A VAST PAGEANT OF EMPIRE.
Plans for the Crowning of King
George Next June.
It is probable that London will
scarcely be able to accommodate all
the visitors who will crowd into this
city next summer, for there has been
arranged a round of festivities in con
nection with the coronation of King
George and Queen Mary that will
draw people from all the ends of the
earth.
Although nothing official regarding
the exact date of the coronation has
been announced it Is generally ac
cepted that it will take place in the
week commencing June 18, probably
on Wednesday, June 21. Already the
arrangements are wdll in hand. It is
to be made a vast pageant of empire
in which all the overseas dominions
will take part.
Each will be represented by a con
tingent of .troops and the procession
which will accompany their majesties
from Buckingham palace to Westmin
ster and the forces that guard the
line of route will be thoroughly typi
ical of the might and strength of the
empire.
The word has gone forth that noth
ing must be wanting to make the event
worthy of the empire. Socially the last
fortnight in June and the early days
of July will be a period of unexampled
gayety.
First and foremost willl be the festi
val of empire at the Crystal Palace,
in which no fewer than 20,000 per
sons drawn from all parts of the em
pire and from all ranks of society will
take part. The pageant which will be
seen at the Crystal palace will be al
most as brilliant a spectacle as the
coronation itself.
Then there will be the great impe
rial exhibition at the White City. Ev
ery country in the empire will be
represented. There wilt be a hundred
buildings devoted to an exhibition of
their arts and industries and the home
life of their people. There are com
mittees engaged now in distant lands
selecting inhabitants typical of the
various races.
In addition to gold miners, back

The route of the coronation proces
sion has not yet been decided upen,
but nevertheless wholesale booking of
.seats to view it are being made. It
.has already been arranged to erect a
great stand on a piece of unoccupied
land in the Strand capable of accom
modating and catering for no fewer
than 10,000 persons and other big
schemes of a like kind are in contem
plation.
The people who are booking seats
thus early are not all residents of this
country. From all quarters of the
globe Inquiries are arriving asking
for the best positions. Before the end
of the year It is probable that 100,W0
places will have been engaged. A dl-.
rector of a leading booking ageacV
told a reporter:
"This morning we had a enomnal
-cation from Java requesting that 'a
iscore of seats be reserved for coroma
tion day for a party coming over frem
,that island.
"Another letter from Burma &eks
for the exact date of the coronaton
eremony and what are the best seetA
-obtanaile.
"We have also got orders for seats
from Calcutta and other towns in In
dia. The greatest number of inqui
ries, however, come from America
and it is probable that an unprece
dented invasion of people from the
United States will be seen here next
June."
The coronation will bring to this
country royal personages from the
courts of Europe, although no relga
Ing monarch ever attends a coromi
tion. In the thousands of invitatios
which will be issued to less exalted
guests the mayors of all the principal
cities of the empire will be includet.
