in this area have increased 500 per cent
in only about years time. Ii Is
claimed that these figures are not exag-
gerated at all, and they are given Dy
Warden Sprinkle to show how great the
increase is among wild birds when they
are protected.
The National Audubon Society was
negotiating for Cat Island to be used as
a reserve for the breeding OF birds, but
the deal has been called off, Temporal
rily, owing 10 conditions in the money
market. The Society would have to
dispose OF securities in order to raise
money to buy the island, and, at the
present low quotations on all stocks and
bonds, large loss would be sustained.

PETER HELLwEcE.

No announcem ent has carried with it
more genuine regret than the death of
Peter Hellwege, citizen, merchant,
banker and philantropist who passed
away Monday in the early forenoon at
his Waveland estate, surrounded by his
loved ones, and after every resource
medical skill could command had been
exhausted.
The demise of Mr.. Hellwege removes
from this community man whose in
fluence in the business world was fac
tor for all that was good and constructive.
Conservative to that degree consistent
with safe and practical business meth
dds, and liberal in the application of that
force of conservatism, was character
istic that stood his name out in bold
relief. AS founder and president of the
Hancock County Sank, of Bay ST. Louis,
not only that institution but this city as
we'll becomes bereft of one whose worth
was sterling and ever present. The
Echo in common mourns his demise,
both as private citizen and man of
affairs, and friend as we'll. And the
philantrophic world loses one OF its no
blest princes.
Men die, but the memory of their
good deeds--of their having lived-ling-
ers like precious burning incense float
ing in the air long after they are gone.

Mr.. Gregory, without McCar,hy's
knowledge, began to work for a
pardon for him, because he was
convinced that the man would
lead different life if he had
another opportunity. His turning
States evidence went a long way
towards making his chances for
pardon good, and Pre- sident
Roosevelt granted the pardon.
Since then Mccarthy has been
in business in Baltimore and is
living the simple life.
When telling the details of
the Newry robbery, Mccarthy
said that they knocked off the
combination knob of the safe
and made cup out of octagon
soap and stuck it on the safe un
der where the knob had been.
This was done to force the gly-
'cerine into the hole of the com
bination lock. A fuse was insert
ed and lighted and it was an
easy matter to make the safe a
complete wreck.
"Why, we came to Walhalla
to break open the safe in your
bank here" said Mccarthy on
the stand, "and after investigat-
ing we found that your safe had
screw door, and gave up the
idea. | can break into your safe,
but with that screw door, it
would require eight or ten hours
work, and we were doing busi-
ness in hurry and could not
afford to undertake to blow that
SAFE"
Mccarthy then told how he
and his pals got away from New
ry after they had succeeded in
looting that safe. The Charles.
ton exposition was running at
the time, and they made a break
for Charleston and were in that
city before the people knew that
the safe had been cracked.
McCarthy's testimony at times
was hair-raising and as some
one who heard the testimony
remarked, "That beats any de-
tective story ever read, and it
beats any novel that ever was
written about safe blowing and
II ain robberies."

Aged Women Of Lancaster
County.

County.
News Correspondent Tells of
One Now in her olst Year
Mrs. Hagins Probably
the Oldest Woman in the
County.
Mr.. Editor: No one seems to
follow my lead in writing up the
old ladies of our county. Well,
perhaps, if | lead again, some
one may follow suit, so here
goes:
About three months ago it
was my fortune to mcet, at the
hospitable home of Mr.. Jake
Knight, paar Greek, a very old
lady, whose name and figure have
for more than half a century been
familiar to citizens of Lancaster.
Her name is Mrs Patsey Hagins.
She was born ninety years ago
last Agust; is in good health;
has a rosy complexion set in
frame of white locks; and seems
to feel as fresh as many much
younger women. Her checker
ed life and vic ssitudes of for
tune are known to most of our
citizens. 1t is we'll known that
some of her children received
instruction at Cedar Springs un.
der compel ent teachers for the
deaf and dumb. A goodly num-
ber of children were mothered
by her, only two now live, Mr..
j hn M. Hagins of Elgin and
Smiley Hagins of Gaffney.
Mr.. Knight married her grand.
daughter, who was daughter
of deaf-mute named Temple
ton and by whom one son was
born to him. He now lives
where he married her.
Mrs. Hagins is lively in con-
versation, and it is not much
over year as | am told) since
she danced for few lady friends
to music on the organ, Just to
show that she was not a candi-
date for mortuary honors.
She told me she could get
about very well and she seemed
quite robust, but she com planned
that her hearing was bad and
that her teeth were gone from
home.
This nonegenarian may yet
live to see many younger people
laid to rest.
Mrs. Hagins makes her home
with her son, John.
Now let some one else step to
the front aud show forth the
women's side of this old-age
business.
Yours truly,
Sam r. Massey
