HAWKINS Says Two Men Tried to ERufeee
Iiig,,

Sheriff Gilreath had long confer.
ence with j. D: Hawkins at his horne
at Brandon mills yesterday afternoon
ana the injured man, who was found
nnConBciOus near the railway tract. et
Ceihoun, told tho sheriff that Hen(ler-
son and Vaughn, the mill operatives
6eing held in Columbia, travelled on 5
freight train with him to Calhoun.
There, he says. the men assaulted hIna
and after almost beating him to deatI,
dragged his body across the track with
the idea that the next train Coming
along would finish their fiendisiS
work. He managed to crawl off tic
life. AAA' AA
Hawkins was brought back from
Calhoun Friday afternoon and yester-
day he had sufficiently recovered his
strength to tell the sheriff we'll con-
nected story of the affair. It remains
to be seen whether the msn Is talling
the truth or not. Relatives OF the men
say that the story, is o myth, aud cir
cumstances will be called in when the
case gets into the courts to lead the
jurors to q proper verdict. 81
In view of what Hawkins says the
crime is properly for Pickens county.
and the authorities here will soon take
steps to have the men in Colunbia
placed in the keeping of Sheriff Jen-
nlnga OF Pickens. -Greenville News.

While matters were becoming serious
with Murphy he was all unconsciously
adding to her tragedy at twenty min
utes after twelve each day. After a
few days he had almost ceased to or
der food at all, because his physician
had ordered something pre-digested," :"
which tasted horribly and which he alb
sorbed from off his mantel shelf, quite
unconscious that 1t tasted horribly or
that It was not hot birds and cold bot
ties. But Murphy could not be ex-
pected to know these things, and 1t was
thus that strange complications came
about and that Murphy grew thin.
One morning about this time she had
said to the manager:
II want me eggs rawr fur breakfast
after this. TIL X-ray says I'm to eat
EN- like that; m he says. too, can't
eat em at tn hasher's breakfast. but

manager had reasonably consented.
Two eggs. in whatsoever culinary style
should be preferred, were served each
morning to the Mattresses; the bill Of
fare was fixed and was not subject to
irregularity upon demand.
The first morning Murphy .retreated
with her two raw eggs to her locker,
and Number Ten, looking on in sur
prise, wig-wagged "W'at for?" to which
she received reply me doctors ad-

companied the information. Then
Number Ten wondered why Murphy

because he could not pay for sufficient
food II would kill her--likewise some

prunes as in dream and tried to

Meanwhile Twelve-Twenty chatted
detachedly, and in a good many ways
his antiquities of speech only con-
firmed Murphy in her suspicious. Es-
pecially did her heart bleed when
Twelve-Twenty remarked with what to
her was a rare effort at honchalance
that really it had ito good points
to be off ones feed. A man saved
money by it," Twelve-Twenty never
knew that he had said it. He never
said things to Murphy except to be
genial and had he known what his
conversational trivialities conveyed to
her mind his distress would have been
great.
"oh, my Gawll" thought Murphy,
hes tryin' to bear it like the man he
t.. Somethin' must happen I'll hap
pen it," But at the moment she had
nothing but inchoate thought upon
ways and means.
The next day Twelve-Twenty's de-

to become restored; an unimportant

Ten temporized. Murphy was aroused,
and that was all Number Ten de =

'Me-be wrecked?" Murphy paused a
moment with the intricacies of her
toilet and looked at Number Ten
through the sllts of her narrowed eye
lids. That tone, that smoldering
glance, that peace on earth pose and
manner stirred Number Ten like mar
tial music. Her lips contracted, be.

two points, and her eyes opened wide,

fine, agile panther cat, sick but fit.
