dorsed the candidacy of o. /.
Schumpcrt, Esq, for Solicitor, and we
are satisfied that with the primary plan
Col. Schumpert can get majority Of
votes in this judicial circuit. Learned,
eloquent and handsome, we believe he
will get many votes outside of New
berry County in a primary election.
\ State ticket will not be nominated
at the State convention 70 he held to-
day. Ifthe candidates for State offices
are required to publish their views, and
there are many Of them. and they have
any views, it will take the country
newspapers more than two months to
get through publishing them, together
with the views of the local candidates.
Withal the convention did very good
work. We love to see harmony within
the ranks.

The undersigned, believing that Il
more definite and organized work for
the legal prohibition of the traffic in
alcoholic liquors, us Il beverage. should
be undertaken and prosecuted by all
temperance workers in the capacity of
both State and local associations, and
that in all measures 50 important to the
real prosperity of our commonwealth
as those tnurhin% the question of Pro-
hihitun there should be the utmost
wisdom, ctliricLcy and concord: there
fore. in the name of the grand army Cf
workers for Prohibition now fast cover
ing the @lohc,wc formally request and
urge that there shall be 4 Convention
at Columbia, :. G.. beginning at $ y. H.,
:,:,I of May. in the y. II. G. \. hall, to
consider various matters pertinent t..
the advancement of Prohibition in our
State and country at large.
We urge this coming together at this
time bCcau>c We can conceive of no Wis
dom by further delay.
Ii is earnestly desired that every
community in each County should be
represented by men and women who
arc the most earnest and loyal to the
cause in the interest Of which the Con-

The new professors of the South Car
oliua College, under the Encouragement
andsenlargement Of the college, have
been elected by the board Of trustees.
We publish this week the list with a
short sketch of each. They all come,
of course, highly recommended and we
have no doubt are we'll fitted for the
positions for which they have been cho-
sen, but it does look little queer to Us
that they (the trustees) should have to
60 so far away from home for so many
men to make up the faculty. Were
there 10 more applicants from our own
State and graduates Of our own colleges,
or were none of them we'll enough fitted
to fill the places.
We have often wondered why, in so
many instances, places Of this kind,
not only in South Carolina College, but
elsewhere, are given to men from
abroad in preference to and over our
own men.

The Problem of Immigration.

From the st. Louis Globc-Democrat. I
The pouring Of humanity out of
Europe is startling at both ends Of the
current. The effect is to gradually de-
populate Ireland. In 1921 the popula-
ton of the island was 6,S00,000. There
was Il steady increase to S,000,000 in
1872. But III 1881 there were only about
100000 remaining, and the decrease
has continued Emigration from 1911
to 1851 was 1.240, 600; from 1851 to 1861,
,l40, 900; from 1861 to 1871, 100000;
from 1881 to 1856, 100000. Evidently
the decrease of the population is now
owing not entirely to emigration, cnor-
nous as that is. Two influences are
cverat work-onc hurrying humanity
steadily Westward, and the other
weakening the virility of the stationary.
Circulation seems to he quite Us cSScn-
tial to the health of humanity rs it Is
to the sweetness OF the waters and the
purity of the air The tluX of humanity
Westward has continued from the
earliest historic er;lS. 50, also, have
ideas moved on parallels of latitude,
and lived only us they have moved.

COUNTY CHAIRMAN.

The newly elected chairman Of the
executive committee, and by virtue OF
his office, County chairman, and head
of the Democratic party in Newberry
County, Col. W. H. Hunt, Jr., is a
young lawyer of ability, an earnest
worker, and we have no doubt will
make a good County chairman. He
served for two years as secretary of the

THE CAPTURE OF AN OUTLAW.
Hodge, the Desperate, who has for Five
Years Evaded the Officers of the Law,
now in Jail.
Special News and Courier. !

PROSPERITY, May 12.-Fre Hodge,
the negro outlaw and desperado, was
arrested yesterday at Spring Hill, Lex
ington County, by Capt. L. B. Whites
and \. II. Blease from Newberry Coun-
ty, assisted by citizens from Spring Hill,
undera warrant for burglary in New
berry Ct unity, the warrant being coun-
tcrsi%ncd by L trial justice in Lexington
County.
Armed with this warrant Can't.
Whites, having located Hodge, went to
Spring Hill alone on the 9Th for the
purpose of attempting to make the ar
rest the next day, and in looking over
the field for the next days operation in
company with i friend, who was un-
armed, they unexpectedly came upon
Hodge, who was quarreling with
another negro. Capt. Whites looked ut
the situation fo~ 4 moment by glim-
mcring light and concluded to attempt
the arrest. He put his left hand in
Hodges collar and presented arms with
his right hand at Hodges breast and
invited him 70 surrender" ut the same
moment he graSped Whites pistol with
his left hand across the hammer, and
with an open knife in the right hand
cndcavorcd to cut the pistol from
WhtcS'S hand.
Then struggle for life or death for Il
few minutes cnsucd, such as only two
men i'll mortal combat can know, dur
ing which Whitcs's right hand was
painfully though not dangerously cut.
Whitcs'S friend, though unarmed, then
came to his assistance, when Hodge
looScd his hold upon the pistol and ran
away. Two shots were fired ut him
without effect. One shot was fired in
the struggle without effect.
The next day Capt. Whites came to
Prosperity. Ina short time he received
4 telegram saying, "Hodgc will cross at
Counts Ferry tonight. Leaves here
after dark Mr.. Blcise agreed to go
with Capt. Whites. They started, but,
on account of the torrents of rain fail
ing and the swollen condition of the
streams, they could not reach Counts
Ferry but remained during the
night ut Cllapin's and arrived
ut Spring Hill at sunrise next
morning, and found that the game had
moi flown on account ofsW0llen streams.
y truSty negro was engaged and
Hodge was soon located in an old barn
slowed away among the fodder The
necessary arrangements soon being
made, Il number Of Spring Hills good
people assisting, the barn was surround
cd and at Il given signal all rushed for
ward. Blease with u steady pistol and
stern command brought Hodge to bay
while the Others approached. Capt.
Whites approached and securely hand
cuttcd Hodge. He was then hurried to
Peaks, thence to Ncwberry Jail, where
he was turned over to Sheriff Riser.
There are many warrants for Hodge
He has evaded the officers Of the law for
more than five years. He has ranged in
Newberry, Lexington, Fairfield and
Edgetield counties. His principal
tramping ground was from Chappel's
in Newberry County to Spring Hill in
Lexington County. The people are
now rid ola terror, and are under Il
lasting debt of gratitude to Messrs
! Whites and Blcase. No reward was
offered by the Governor, bnt Il S35 rev.
