YoRKVILLE, S. c.:
TUESDAY, APRIL II, 1905.

THE article by Mr.. Harvie Jordan
on the first page of today's issue Is
sensible and to the point. 1t contains
facts and figures which ought to be
sufficient to convince any reasonabl
man Of the exact status Of the situa-
ton, and we hope it will be read with
great care from beginning to end.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-04-11
GREENWOOD, April Z, 1905.
H. G. Brown, S. Y. c.,
YorkYille s. G.

Yorkville, 3. Z.
Dear Sir--The Greenville authorities
failed to identify ]. B. Brown, alias
Will Watson, and we now have him
sentenced for 80 days on the charge
Of carrying an unlawful weapon. Dur
ing that time, with your assistance,
believe we can prove conclusively that
he Is the negro you want for the MUIR
der of his wife.
While in jail here, this negro sold a
double case silver watch with the fol-
lowing Inscription engraved In the
case: "Alice Watson, 12-13-s4." This
engraving, you will note was done on
December 13, 1894, just six years be-
fore the Watson woman was muir
dered.
Here is the whole thing in a nut
shell. Jim or John Watson got IN
trouble somewhere and skipped to
Rock Hill to keep out of the way Of
the authorities. Then he changed his
own name to Will Watson and had
his wife to change her name from
Alice to Mary.
Now sheriff, all we have to do Is
to find Alice Watson's people and let
them identify Will as Alice's husband.
Then 1t will be up to him to explain
the whereabouts Of his wife, which he
will be unable to do, and the Knot is
tied. :,
While up to this time, we have had
a difficult problem, the case Is one or
the most interesting that has ever
come under my observation, and l
would like very much to get to the
bottom of the mystery.
II you can find Watson's wife.s peo-
pie, I think we will be close to the END
of the trouble. Very truly,
T. w. MCMILLAN.
Sheriff Brown says that he Is not at
all satisfied about this case. He was
not satisfied when he came back from
Rock HILL Nobody over there seemed
to know a great deal about Watson
and some of those who claimed to
know him thought that the prisoner
was the right man. II am willing to
do anything within reason to get
at the truth" Sheriff Brown re-
marked to the reporter yesterday, "and
If there is anybody In this part OF the
country able to give any information
1 will be glad to hear from them

EVIDENTLY A CRIMINAL

The Greenwood authorities are not
satisfied as to the case Of the negro
who was recently brought to Rock
Hill for Identification as the murderer
of his wife. At least Chief Of Police
Mcmillan Is not for he evidently thinks
the negro is the man wanted. Has
views and his reasons for holding
them, are set forth in the following
letter he has just written to Shertn
Brown:

POSTOFFICE OPEN
TEN HOURS EACH DAY

Since the complaint was made by
the Cooley Emn Ons Combination that
the postot1ice windows were closed
most of the time during the day,
we have had the clerks in the Office
keep Il record OF the exact time
during the distribution of each mail
that the windows were actually closed,
We give the following figures as a
correct average.
The morning mail arrives on G.. NJ.
Il st, Paul at 100 a. m. one hour and
ten minutes from time it reaches the
poStoliice until distributed Green
Buy q Western which arrives at 1920
from the east, twenty-five minutes;
the G. Nj. & ST. Paul from the north
at 1890, ten minutes: the Chicago &
North Western from the north and
south at l:25, fifteen minutes; the
Green Bay & Western from the west,
ten minutes: the G.. NJ. & st. Paul
from the S0uth.at 5.27, fifteen minutes.
From the above it will be seen that
it requires three hours and twenty
five minutes divided up with the
above portions of time. The depart
ment officials that have been here
since the complaint was made inform
us that this office is open for business
at least an hour longer than any Office
OF the same size in the state and
capacity of business done. We make
this explanation for the benefit of the
patrons Of this office.

is 1T YOUR DAUGHTER?

Fathers and Mothers: If you have
a young daughter, this picture-which
is not fancy one-is for you. 1t is
long after curfew. The "maSherS'
lean on sidewalk ratings and wait at
street corners. There they come
down the street arm in arm-two
young girls with fresh rosy faces.
Abundant braidS of hair falling
down their backs. Natty little
gowns come to the shoe tops. They
are school girls and are in their early
teens.
There is no chaperone and no escort.
The girls are out alone and the
the hour IS rather late. A couple of
smart young men-''knowing" young
men-follow the girls. Young men
and young women are strangers to
one another, and yet there is some
sort OF freemaSonry between them.
The glanceS of the young men are
bold. The eyes OF the girls are not
timid as they turn backward with the
hint of a smile. Flippaut words are
exchanged.
But what can one do. If their
natural guardians are not there to
protect, what right have you &c
interfere? Here and there may be
found brave spirit whom a great
pity will move to stay and warn, and
take the risk, but such good
