Hugh Craig, the well-known insurance man,
has severed his connection with the New
Zealand Insurance Company. His resign alton

Mr.. Craig stated yesterday that his resigna-
ton had been in the hands of the company for
some time past and 1t had been accepted and
will go into effect on October l. He also added
that his reason for reslgning was that he
thought he was entitled TO much-needed

needs this bridge. The trains are OF
little service to us in reaching the county

the same time, one to New York and the
other to Yorkville, only % miles, the
man will reach New York, attend to his
business and return and meet the man on
the way from Yorkville. You must
spend a whole day in Rock Hill, a night
in Yorkville, and unless you can get

time we were supposed to be in North

soon in such close connection with the

LETTER FROM ZAD0K.

Behind With Farm Work-Some Observa
tions on the Recent Escape of Reese ant
Luckie.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
ZADoK, February 22.-The long contin'
ued unsettled weather is giving us farm
ers the blues. 1t reminds us of the yeal
1891, and if we thought it was going to b'
that way we would not put in more thar
half crop. But We'll do the best We
can, the same as if we were assured il
advance of having good year.
Pretty nearly everybody in this neigh
borhood has already been gripped more
or less seriously and there are few faml'
lies in which the disease can find new
material.
The only important topic of conversa-
ton hereabouts since yesterday was a
week ago is the escape of Reese ana
Luckie. At first most of us were like the
little boy the calf run over-we did not
know what to think. But when THE
ENQUIRER came out on Wednesday with
a full account of the whole thing, and told
the naked truth as to how the grand jury
had repeatedly urged that the Jail be made
more secure, we were able to think more
intelligently. The sheriff was to blame a
little bit maybe. Perhaps he ought to
have set up with Reese and Luckie' all
night and kept them covered with a pis-
tol. At the same time maybe, he should
have kept guard on the outside to be on
hand whenever the prisoners came out.
If he had done this, I am sure there
would have been no escape. 1t is quite
probable also that there would have been
no escape had the county board of COM
missioners done as the grand jury re-
quested it to do. According to my no
ton most of the blame rests with the
grand jury; don't you think so? But
seriously, the intelligent people up this
way are not inclined to blame Sheriff
Logan much. They figured that with
such notoriously fimsy excuse for Jail
he nor no other man could have had held
such shrewd and desperate convicts as
Reese and Luckie. My notion is that
these fellows would have gone long ago,
only Reese thought it advisable to wait
until he could collect together enough
cash to help him out Of the country.

THE ISLAND OF CRETE.
Where Christians Are Trying to Overthrow
Turkish Misrule.

Where Christians Are frying 10 OVerthro"
Turkish Misrule.
Recent events have conspired to di.
rect public attention to Crete, and a
brief description of the island will
probably be read with interest.
Crete, or Gambia, as its name is u.s.
ually printed on the map, lies just
south of Greece, in the Mediterranean
sea. 1t is the largest island of the
Grecian Archipelago. 1t is irregular
in form, about 160 miles in length and
varying from 6 to 80 miles in
breadth. The surface is mountain
Gus, and the country abounds in
springs and fountains. The popula,
ton numbers about 100000, of which
perhaps one-third are Turks, Arabs
and Armenians, while the rest are oi
Greek descent. The principal cities
are Gambia, Canea and Retimo, with
populations of $4,000, 10000 and g.
900, respectively. The exports, con-
sisting chiefly of oil, wool, linseed and
fruit, amount in annual value to about
2,5OO,OOO.
In ancient times the island was call
ed Idaea. It's history begins with
Greek mythology, and the old histo.
rians and poets say that it was governed
by its own kings, among whom were
Saturn, Jupiter and Minos 1900 years
before Christ. Crete was conquered
by the Romans under Metellus, who
on that account had the title of "Cre-
ticus." In A. d. S23 it was conquer.
ed by the Saracens, who built the city
Of Gambia on the ruins of Heraclea.
In 1904 it was sold by Pope Boniface-
to whom Balwin | gave ito the
Venetians. In 1869 the island was
conquered by the Turks after a war
which lasted IL years.
The Cretans ardently desire union
with Greece, and have repeatedly risen
in insurrection against Turkish rule,
notably in 1866. During the memora-
BILE insurrection, and since, the popula-
ton of the island has been reduced one.
half, showing the blighting influence
of Turkish rule upon Christian coun.
tries. If the inhabitants succeed in
their present effort to throw off the
Turkish yoke and are allowed to fol
low their own inclinations, the island
will become part of the kingdom OF
Greece.
