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: “To 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. © a Soiree and Banquet. There ‘was a large attendance at closing soiree and banquet given by the danefig sehool, Friday night, and the participants all-report a good time.

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. O. L. JOYNER. 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 “Be 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.’ ” ‘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 town’s 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. Ova Forpes, Mayor, A aC Board of Trade properly organized and | 3g¢ constituted would, in my opinion, at}: 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. FRANK WILOON, IOS OL OO Oa: ° oe.» @ ¥ C Ps \ .) te, ic) i) ci > * © oF —. : ae. mm t "4 2 iC 2) —_ > < > ic) 9 © ) +. sieve erevers NEW BANK!

When a man, lunching at a club the | other day, found a particular dish’ -jespecially to his tasté, he’ 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 to’ wheth ge tleoman above stairs could read French, and when this query had been answered in the affirmative there came from the nether region’ 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 considerable’ hotels have French cooks, male, of course; though it is usual in small’ as many assistants as he demands and is a personage of the highest’ 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 into’thé 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.”’ The services of'such a wife can ‘hardly be valued in’ money, and’! 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~paper’ hat: on: his head, in the dining room among the guests.

The chef in’ most clubs; hotels and restaurants is an object of awe toall his fellow serv- ants, if indeed the cook may, even by imphioation,’ 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-has’ been rejected in the dining room. sneaks in with fear and trembling and ‘endeavors to propiti- ate’ him: whose art has been called in ‘large share’of the Christmas box at known by’ 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.
