Collier was brought to trial at
Orangcburg last week on the charge
Of murder, when the jury returned Il
verdict of not guilty. lie made no
effort to controvcrt the killing nor
the way in which it was done, but
relied entirely upon the prisoners

IS years OF age, testified that on the
afternoon Of the killing she was in
her bed room dressing to 90 out

to man who she SAW sitting on a

and turned to 90 to her room, when
he grabbed her and Garced her into
her bed room, She screamed and
her cook, hcr sister and the house

To Got Rich.
.-.

81 Tho almighty dollar, which was SO
long said to be tho ruling motive of
our Northern brethren, is now
fully cnthroncd in the sunny South.
Making money is now the dream Of
the South from the Potomac to the
Rio Grando.
II is enough to make ones head
swim to read over our industrial
journals and see the rush for money
in the booming towns and localities
that are springing up all ever the
South. There is no end to the
chances for millions awaiting the
eager and rushing multitude. Just
now it was Chattanooga, and then
Knoxville, Birmingham, Sheffield.
Florence, Bcssemer, Fort Payne,
and so they go on to NIiddlcborough,
Kentucky, to Bridgeport, Tennessee,
and Bristol on the Tennessee and
Virginia line. These, and such as
these, are all to be the iron centres of
the habitable globe.
There is no end to these booming
Southern towns, where millions are
awaiting the anxious seekers.
The last agony of all is Laredo,
Texas. We had forgotten that
there was such place on the maps,
but it has now come to the front as
"thc gateway between two nations"
When Texas was severed from
Mexico, Laredo, an old Spanish
town, was left on this side of the
Rio Grandc, and until within the last
few years it was us distinctly a
Spanish town as though it had been
caught on the Mexican side. All the
slothful Spanish methods Of life
were in vogue there only ten years
ago. Water for household use was
cartcd fyom the river in casks; goods
to supply the town and surrounding
ranches were hauled more than 15O
miles from San Aantonio and Cor
pus Christi in OK carts. Around a
central plaza were rows Of onc-s.ory
adobe houses with fiat roofs covered
with dirt. aud for the most part hav-
ing dirt floors. In this old town,
where there was not the first dream
Of change or progress, English was
virtually an unknown tongue.
But change came over the spirit
OF Laredo. A ycnuiuc Southern
boom struck the sleepy old town be-
fore she knew it, and, presto, she
woke up to find in the place Of her
adobe houses and mud huts a hand
some American city thrilling with
life, vim and enterprise aud shining
with luxurious modcrr homes and
with electric lights blazing out on
the adobe structures Il century old
and electric cars provoking from the
Mexican dcnizcns the exclamation,
'No o moolcy ! No moolcy"
We are told that Secretaries
Blaine and Window have money in
Laredo lots.
With brown coal, wool and cotton
at her door, Laredo sits on the SLUG
5ish Rio Grandc not only as the dis
trlbutng point OF Mexico and South ,
west Texas, but she is ambitious of
being a manufacturing centre, and
heres said to be millions in it. She i
has money on the brain rs well rs {
,hc rest Of them and now "shc's all
light, in the money hunt. y Toi,,,n- |
