AN ACT OF GREAT MERCY. |
Remarks of Judge Hoke in Passing
Sentence Upon the Bonner Mur-
derers.
2 ee cea
[Special to Reflector. ]
Wasuincton, Feb. 1."When the
jury in the Bonner case returned their
verdict of guilty of murder in the sec-
ond degree yesterday afternoon, counsel
for the Beils requested that the jury be
polled. A motion for a new trial for
all the defendants was then made, but
overruled by the Judge.
In passing sentence upon the prison-
ers, Judge Hoke said: oTo my mind
there has been an act of great mercy
done this day in the county of Beaufort.
What has led the jury to this conclusion
I do not know. It may be that it was
on account of the youth of the defend-
ants. Possibly they thought. the kill-
ing was not designed or intended by the
parties at the outset, but the fatal shot
was fired by Sherrill Bell, the young-
est of the defendants, after the others
had fled, and in some frenzy, fright or
appehension of discovery. The jury I
believe have acted from conscientious
motives and can have the satisfaction
of knowing that if they have erred it
has been on the side of mercy. But
there has been an atrocious and_horri-
ble murder done on an innocent and in-
offensive man, and no one who heard
the evidence, and heard it impartially,
but was forced to the conclusion that these
defendants were perpetrators of the
deed. They are all guilty, and every
one of them, and the jury in rendering
this verdict of murder in the second de-
gree bave extended them all the mercy
they deserve or should receive, and on
this verdict the extreme penalty of the
law for such an offense must be impos.
ed. In this case it is considered and
adjudged by the court that Uriah Bell,
| Sherrill Hell, and W. H. Brantley, Jr.,
be confined at hard labor in the peni-
tentiary for and during the term of
thirty years.�
After the notice of apppeal for the
defendants Bell was given, the case of
David. Credle, the accomplice to the
murder who made the confession, was
called. He entered a plea of guilty of
murder in the second degree, and S. C.
Bragaw, one of his counsel, -made a
touching appeal for mercy. He ~refer-
red to the fact that Credle had done the
State great service in the case, and
that he was a weak and ignorant man
who had no parents to rear and train
him. Credle was given fifteen years:
Neither of the defendants seemed to
manifest any emotion or surprise wider
the verdict of the jury or senteace of
the court.
It is stated that the first baliot taken
by the jury after retiring from the box
stood seven for a verdict of guilty and
five for acquittal. They deliberated
upon the case twenty hours before ar-
riving at their verdict.
What it Does.
By having a daily paper in Green-
yille the people have been enabled to
get reports every day from the Bonney
trial at Washington and to kee) fully
informed on the progress of the case.
That is one thing a daily paper deos
for you. ©

to me that the most necessary step to ac

rial prasperty of the town, during this|%
year, is the organization of a Board of
Trade for the town.
To do this: it | Me

the rapid march of progress, ruin and | 3

this time do more toward advancing
and promoting the internal development
of the town than any other one agent.
It is true there are other things that
the town needs, but it seems to me
that we need a Board of Trade first,
and then the board will help to get oth-
er things that we need. here are
business nen enough in the town who
ought to be interested in this matter to
take it right up and push it on until we
get one. A room could be rented and
neatly furnished right in the central
part of town ata very small cost. Give
us a Board of Trade first and in less
than one year there will be greater
domestic improvement then there has
been in any one year in the past.

MEET WITH THE COUNCIL.
Mayor Forbes Makes a Good Sugges-
tion.
Mr. Eptror:"As the business men
of Greenville have been requested to
express their views as to the best meth-
od of advancing the interests otf the
town, it is my opinion that it would oBe
well for the business men of the town,
and especially those who have energy,
push and enterprise, to mect the Board
of Town Councilmen at their meeting
on Wednesday evening, February, th,
and express their ideas as to what can
be accomplished. So I take the privi-
lege of asking such as are mentioned
above to be present at this meeting.
The Bovrd would especially like to
have some advice as to water works,
and asthe Board is composed of only
i, , q . ~
six men thay feel a delicacy in taking
the whole responsibility upon them-
selves. They wish to do something
and something must be done.T �
~The people of Greenville are too.
slow to act upon matters of this kind,
but like some of our sister towns, seem
disposed to sit still and take no action
as to the townTs greatest needs. We
will wait until the town is in ashes and
our property destroyed, then will be all
in a fume for water works It will be
too late then. and our error will be ap-
parent. | | |
Let all who have a warm spot in
their hearts for the welfare. of Green-
ville and: who: feel ap :imterest in, thie
future prosperity of the town, be pres-
ent at this meeting as requested, and
advance such suggestions as they think
will best accomplish the desired results.

The way to make money reach
along way is to invest it right.
The first dost is the point where
a shortsighted man stumbles on
the road to economy. He thinks
it extravagant to pay $14 for a
suit of our Clothes when $13 will
buy asuit somewhere else. He
forgets thatthe $13 suit won't
last very long or look very well.
Maybe it will fade the first time
the sun shines on it.
Price and quality ought al-
ways to be considered together.
Price alone means nothing.

CHEFS OF NEW YORK.
od Important Personages In Clubs"Vaiuable :
Wives Who AreCooks,
and they have come to be persons of
consideration in modern New York.
When a man, lunching at a club the
| other day, found a particular dishT
-jespecially to his tasté, heT asked,
-| with some hesitation, whether the
cook gould be persuaded to reveal
the secret of its composition. The
head waiter thought he might and
undertook to be the diplomatio in-
_| termediary between thedining room.
and the kitchen. There came in re-
ply an inguiry from the gen
below stairg-as toT wheth ge
tleoman above stairs could read
French, and when this query had
been answered in the affirmative
there came from the nether regionT
the recipe, neatly written and well
expressed in that language, upon
the note paper of theclub. The club
member sent his respects and ao-
knowledgments to the invisible po-
tentate of the kitchen, and thus an
agreeable incident came to an end.
Nearly all clubs and considerableT
hotels have French cooks, male, of
course; though it is usual in smallT
as many assistants as he demands
and is a personage of the highestT
consideration, well paid, much de-
ferred to; and, as far as péssiblé, con!�
ciliated. Cooks maintain their an-
cient reputation for ill temper, and
of a Fifth avenue club was startled
one day to see some sort of kitchen
underling burst intoTthé apartnient;
actively pursued by the raging déok;
butcher knife in hand, bent upon
doing oxecution upon the frightened
offender. A good club cook costs
from $750 to $1,200a year, and there
are some who receive much higher
salaries.
One finds in some of the smaller
French restaurants a woman cook,
perhaps the wife of the proprietor,
a tireless creature who labors late
and early and manages by her pecul-
jar gift to confer a.special renutm
A wif such ds
that is ay unspeakavlo treasure to
any restaurant keepér, for ~not only
does she do the work of a skilled
and well paid man and keep it up
for ~twice as many hotrs'as he can
be induced to stay in the kitchen,
but, above all, the cooks that are at
the same time wives, whatever their
peculiar traits and however ill their
tempers; do not ~give notice.�T The
services of'such a wife can ~hardly
be valued inT money, andT! widowed
indeed is the man that loses her.
A pleasing feature of-a restaurant
that has:now, alas, déserted theold
French quarter for the new was the
occasional presence of the cook, clad
~all: in white;-his~paperT hat: on: his
head, in the dining room among the
guests. Ho knew some of the regu-
to honor one or another by taking a
seatat his side and* entering into:
conversation. The chef inT most
clubs; hotels and restaurants is an
object of awe toall his fellow serv-
ants, if indeed the cook may, even
by imphioation,T be called a servant.
His moods are watched ; his moments
of ~rage are indulged. The waiter
that must carry to the kitchen a
dish that-hasT been rejected in the
dining room. sneaks in with fear and
trembling and ~endeavors to propiti-
ateT him: whose art has been called in
~large shareTof the Christmas box at
known byT sight to any member of
the elab, and a stranger even to the
house committee, he is known by
his'debds, and he stands firmly for
all his rights and privileges. To dis-
miss so great a man is a duty that
few care to take upon themselves,
