Thfc State. ;
Beaufort, Aug. 10.?A mass mooting
that crowded the court house tonight
vofced to instruct the chairman
to appoint a committee of three citi
* zens to collect, prepare ana present
evidence against Sheriff J. H. Baley
b&fore the grand jury. This grew
* out of his refusal and failure to place :
Ralph E. Brown hi jail as directed
f in the coroner's commitment, which
found at the inquest yesterday that,
Brown killed T. P. L. Bettison. The
vote was unanimous except for a
brother of Brown.
The sheriff kept the prisoner at his
home while the law requires he be
put in jail. Early in the afternoon
over 100 citizens met and sent a
committee to the sheriff asVing him
to. meet with them and explain his
action, rnis ne reiusea to uu. oulieitor
Murdaugh was on his way
from Hampton and the meeting wa.
adjourned to the evening. The solicitor
was preseat then and advised :
with the meeting as to the sheriff's
action. Just before the evening meeting
the sheriff placed his prisoner in
' jail, but again refused to attend the
, meeting. Condemnation was ex- ,
pressed at the feet that the sheriff's
iPttorney and advisor is the attorney
for the defense in the case against
ihrown. " i
Condemnation of the city government
for alleged leniency toward <
Brown in former difficulties was gen- <
eral, and a motion was carried, 89 to ;
38, asking for-the resignation of the ;
three commissioners, over two-thirds ,
refraining from voting on this -issue
owing in part to the absence of the
mayor. Many women attended and ,
voted. Intense- feeling was manifest- j
ed in the applause and speeches but
the best of -order was maintained. ;
The committee sent to the sheriff
was- Alan Paul, L. H. Hall and Gus (
Sanders, county treasurer. Niels
Christeo^n was cfc&irman of the
meetingte and Alan Paul secretary.
J. H. Bellamy and William Alt- ,
^ian. made the motions that carried.
The solicitor has .refused to consent
to a request for bail for Brown.
In the news account sent out yesterday
it was stated, that Bettison
was killed while seaed. A further
examination of the testimony shows
that at the coroners inquest no direct
evidence was presented to that
effect. Brown claims self defense
in his request for bail.
?

of T. P. L. Bettison, whose tragic;
death was reported yesterday, wasi
held- this afternoon at the Baptist]
chtirch of wfrien he was a member, j

IN THEIR LAST WILLS
(
Albert Sidney Gregg in Dearborn In-,

Some years afro Adolph Metzer, a <
retired soap maker of Evansville,; 1
Ind., wrote his name ir\ the hall of
fame by making a very curious will. <
He left $11,000 for the benefit of '
homeless cats,and dogs. The money !
has been invested at compound inter-'
est and the will scaled in an airtight!
metal tube. Not a penny of this j
money is to be used to feed a hungry j
dog or cat until the year 2163. Aj

ured it out that eventually the bene-!
ficiaries will be entitled to $201,559,-j

It is a tradition of the legal pro- j
fession that the "dead hand" pro- j
vides miny fat fees for the experts j
who know how to break wills. And!
such an expert must be quite profi- j
cient.

of relatives are sometimes the actu-i

in particular by reason of the new j
i-reamery at Chester. In fact, dairy i
work and the Guernsey cow are on a
decided boom in the three counties
represented in the membership of the
association, and much irood is expect
ed from the oncoming meeting.
A big drive for additional members
will be carried on and a larger
enrollment is expected so that the

association will be in better position
to push Guernsey work and the dairy
industry in its territory.

the association, states that every effort
will be made to make the meeting
a worth while one and he urges
that every one interested make plans
to attend. The dairy specialists of

of the meeting.
