UNIQUE CHARACTER DEAD
'King of Ten-NIile Hill" Made Hum
dreds of Couples Get Married.

The death of the King of Ten
Mile HILL" which occurred a few
days ago, removes from the Charles
ton section one of it's unique charac-
tiers. Ten Mile Hill is on the At
lantic Coast Line, ten miles from
Charleston, in the phosphate mining
section, and dozen years ago bore
the reputation of being particularly
tough. It's population was almost
wholly black and of that migratory
element that knows little order and
no law. The king" Mr.. Thomas D.
Green, was appointed magistrate for
the section. For several months his
life was made miserable by fights,
robberies, hOldups, murders, gamb-
ling, drunkenness and various other
disturbances in his bailiWick. FL
nally, growing tired of the way things
were going, he bought a big pistol
and a double-barreled shotgun and
exhibiting them announced that
there was going to be reformation
at Ten Mile Hill, even if a few fun
erals were necessary to bring 1t
about. And as an important step
towards improvement he ordered
that every negro buck in the neigh
borhood who had a sweetheart trot
ND with her and get married. AS
an officer of the law he was pre-
pared to perform the marriage Ger
emory without fee, but he insisted,
batting his guns, on having a festl-
val of marriages at once. What re-
suited was a regular epidemic OF
marriages. Tom Green meant bust
ness. He married hundreds OF
couples, and by his vigorous enforce
ment of the law tanned" Ten Mile
