TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Cur Brother Broadus Ellis de-
parted this life July 2, 1908, just
about one year after he united
with the Fork Hill Baptist church.
He was born Feb. 5, 1854. This
good young man did noble ser,
vice for Christ in our church and
community. He delighted to CO.
operate with his pastor and broth,
er in every gooG word and work.
We feel that we have lost one of
our most beloved members of
Fork Hill church. Knowing that
human sympathy and human con-
ISOLATION cannot avail much we
commend the bereaved household
to the God of us all, whose in.
finite wisdom saw fit to remove
Broadus from us. Broadus was
greatly admired and beloved for
his manly qualities and high NOR
al character. He was sick only
"a few days. We did what we
could for his recovery but to no
avail. May the Lord grant us a
happy reunion in Heaven.

More than one million immi-
grants arrived in the United
States during the year closing
June 30, which was the largest
number reaching this country
since 1892. The tide of immi-
grafton travel has been increasin g
so rapidly that it has caused much
alarm, and for the present the
movement cannot be restricted for
the reason that congress has fall
ed to adopt any legislation to
keep out people who are undesir>
able. The foreign population
which is coming our way is com
posed of the lower element, and
the larger cities are being crowd
Ell with men and women who can-
not speak our language, and who
perhaps will never be able Ito do
so.

Escaped Convict Killed-AnOther
Desperately Wounded

Desperately Wounded +
Perry Horton, COL, better
known as Book Horton, who lwas
sent to the penitentiary for five
years at the Spring term of court
for this county for stealing cotton
seed from the gin house of Mr..
w. U. ely burn of the Halle Mine
section, and another negro,
George Mancie, from Greenwood
escaped from the State farm in
Lexington county East Friday af-
ternoon by 'dashing into heavy
chump of bushes beside the field
in which they were plowing. The
guard fired at them but missed
them. Later he organized a posse
and went IN pursuit OF them. Some
time during the night Mr.. Swy-
gart, member OF the posse,
came upon the negroes in the
woods. They started to run, and
not needing his command to halt
he opened fire with his shot gun,
killing Horton and probably fat
ally wounding Marcie. AS The
penitentiary guard came up tt
where young Swygart, who is on
ly about Is years of age, was
standing, he showed him the two
men shot down and asked if tha
was all or were tn ere any more a
large.
An inquest was held over Hor-
toms remains Saturday and the
usual verdict in cases of this kline
was rendered.
