With Compound Interest.

In his speech before the Southern
Vehicle Association, at Charleston,
s. O., Mr.. John d. Cappelman, afte,
reviewing the marvellous progress
made by the South during the past
twenty years, urged the South to
give greater attention than ever be-
fore to the extension of it's foreign
trade, particularly with the West
Indies, the west coast of Africa and
the east coast of South America.
This, he said, should be done not so
much through the older lines of COM
munication as by the building up
of lines through Southern ports.
He also urged that the people OF
every Southern community should
make systematic advertisement OF
their respective resources for the en-
couragement of investors and to
counteract well-known false impress
sions which have prevailed. He said
thata it was determination of that
sort which impelled the promoters
of the Charleston Exposition. Hard
ly any one expected that Exposition
to be an immediate financial success.
1t has, however, directed attention
to Charleston and its many CONNER
cial opportunities, and it's closing
days have been marked by enthusi-
astic gatherings of various kinds,
which ought to have the effect OF
bringing back to Charleston ulti-
mately every cent spent upon the
Exposition, with handsome compound

william Lane Hanged for Triple Murder,

Philadelphia, May 27.-William
Hermon Lane, negro, was hanged al
1908 O'Clock this moring.
The crime for which Lane paid tn r,
death penalty was particularly a.
oious. On che morning of April l
he shot ead killed Ella Jarden, by
whom he was employed as servant,
and her two daughters, Madeline, aged
IL, and Eloise, aged 7 years. Lane
had stolen money from his employer,
and fearing the consequence of his
thefts, he deliberately shot the woman
and the younger daughter in an
upper room of their home and then
called the elder child from the street,
where she had been playing, shot and
killed her. After the shooting Lane
escaped to Camden, N. j., but was
arrested few hours later at the
railroad station in that city. He
confessed the crime and after a
formal hearing was sentenced to
death. Justice was not delayed in
meeting out punishment to the negro,
and in less than two months after
the commission of the crime he was
executed.

Shot Sweetheart and Self.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 2s.-Emil Ross
man, aged 10, last night shot and
killed his sweetheart, Sophia Batal,
and then shot himself. II is believed
he will die. The girl was but seven
teen years old. She and Rossman
came to Chicago two months ago
from Bohemia with an aunt of Ross
mann's. They were sweethearts in
the old country and the girl was
brought along because Rossman had
threatened to kill her and himself if
any attempt was made to separate
them. The opposition to the union
was due to the youth of the pair.
Sunday night both of them were
missed and yesterday the police
were notified. 1t was not until early
in the day that they were found dead,
side by side, under a sidewalk in
the west side. The girl was dead
with bullet in her brain. Rossman
was also shot in the head, but he
breathed family.

tion, and that his constitutional
rights are constantly violated. The

Negro Commits Dlabolical Crime.

Rock Hill, May 27.-Another dia-
bolical crime was committed near
here yesterday. Mr.. Richard Corn
well, one of the prominent young
farmers of the Harmony section, was
away from home for several DAYS
past, leaving his wife in charge.
During his absence Jess McCluene-
han, or Jess Chick, as he is better
known, who works for Cornwell,
went into the house and upon a
threat of "slashing Mrs. Cornwell's
throat from ear to ear" forced her to
submit to him. He would not let
her leave the house and threatened
if she told on him to kill her. This
morning, as soon as Mr.. Cornwell
arrived home, his wife told him of
what had occurred. He took his
pistol and went to the field, where
he found the negro and emptied his
pistol at him. The negro ran. Mr..
Cornwell gathered up his friends,
and getting hounds, followed the
trail to the house of an uncle of
Chicks. They could not trail fur
ther. 1t was found that the horse
from this negro's place was gone, as
was also Henry Chick, the cousin of
the rapist. Three men from the
crowd, well mounted, struck for
Rock Hill, where the old man
claimed his son Henry had gone, as
he claimed, to get the magistrate's g
protection for Jess. These men
rode like the wind and got there
thirty minutes after Henry Chick
hitched his horse in back lot. He
came back to his horse later and was
arrested and locked up. He says
Jess was shot in three places. 1t is
believed that Jess rode the horse by
the road that Henry came through
near cuts on foot, and meeting him
near town, came in on the horse,
allowing his cousin to escape. Hun
dreds of men are grouped on the
streets and everything will be done
to capture the fiend. The crowd
from the scene is with the hounds
and are securing the country.

A VOICE FROM OLD PICKENS.
Brlei Biographical Sketches OF Some Of the
Most Loyal Citizens Of Pickens District.

Old Pickens, June 2.-Editors Cou-
rier: The history of Old Pickens
would be almost fiction without. a
more extended sketch of Major w.
l.. Keith, of whom mention was
made in my last article. He was,
indeed, most remarkable man.
In nearly every election for the office
of Clerk, which he held for twenty
eight years, he encountered strong
and spirited opposition, but he could
not be dislodged from his position.
Gen. Garvin, a very popular man
and most excellent citizen, was one
of his most prominent contestants.
Hon. VIM. Hunter, former citizen
of Walhalla, was his last competitor.
Keith's majority was usually small,
but he was always successful. He
finally resigned and died soon after
his resignation. Mention has here
tofore been made of all his sons ex-
cept Elliott, who is said to have
been not less brilliant and eloquent
than Col. w. G. He practiced law
here few years, removing from here
to Anderson, where he died after a
distinguished career as a lawyer.
All the sons seem to have inherited
the extraordinary talent of their
father, and, if it be true that "great-
ness of character comes chiefly from
the N ernal ancestor" the mother
of thes led sons must have been
a lady of superior intellect and much
force of character.
In speaking of Nathan Boone it
might have been added that he was
a kinsman of Daniel Boone, one of
the heroic pioneers of the "dark and
bloody ground of Kentucky"
have heard it stated as a historical
fact that the daughter of Daniel
Boone was the first white woman
who trod the soil of that now glori-
GUS Commonwealth.
The blood of the Boone's is per-
petuated in the Gary family and
the family of E. B. Alexander, who
was a gallant soldier in the late war
and died soon after, leaving a con-
siderable fortune, mostly accumu-
lated by his own indus,ry and bust
ness shrewdness. His widow and
several sons reside on their extensive
plantation two miles above the site
of Old Pickens Court House.
In referring to the Craigs il should
have been stated that John also won
his laurels in the army, and o-day
carries in his sleeve an almost use.
