TOO MUCH BOOZE
Being Used in Marlboro County to
Suit Grand Jury.

Over in Marlboro county they have
had prohibition for forty odd years,
long. long time before the old
State dispensary system was ever
conceived of, and when the dispensa-
ry did come Marlboro did not join
in, but remained dry. The grand
jury of that county has just made
a presentment in which 1t calls at
tention to the large and increasing
lawless element in that county which
the jury states Is caused by the sale
Of whiskey. The status of affairs
will prove interesting in view of
the fact that fifteen other counties
of the State are about to embark
upon the prohibition boat and the
working Of the law in these counties
is going to be watched closely.

Prisoners Break Out Of the Greenville
Jail and Six Get Away
KEEPER is OVERPOWEREO
Warden Phillips, Who Was the
Only Officer in the Jail When the
Delivery Took Place, Was Badly
Bruised in Attempting to Stop the
Escaping Men.

Seven negro prisoners, several OF
whom were under life sentences. es-
capped from the Greenville Jail Mon
day night and six Of them got away,
knocking Warden Phillips down and
running out of the back door into
the streets. The delivery occurred
about 6!:40 o'clock. there being no
officer in the jail at the time with
the exception of Warden Phillips.
The latter is badly bruised but suf-
fers no serious hurt.
One of the prisoners, Will McCul-
Tough, was captured soon. after the
occurrence by Reuben Gosnoll, a
constable for one of the magistrates.
The tailer and several officers have
gone in pursuit of the remaining six,
but at last reports none of them have
been captured.
Those prisoners who escaped were
on the upper aoor. Their names are:
Daniel Gambrel, John Cutie, Sonnie
Huff, Frank Doal, Arthur Johnson,
Hilbert Henry and WILL Mccullough.
John Cutie was under sentence to
be hanged .Gor the murder Of his
wife, execution OF this sentence hav-
ing been postponed until the supreme
court could decide upon the appeal
which bas.been made, in the case.
It Is stated that about $3.50 o'clock
some one brought up some food or
other stuff for the prisoners. They
we're taken up 20 the second floor
of the Jail end.>in order to carry
the goods into the ward where the
prisoners were. Mr. Phillips. before
unlocking the onter door, ordered
the prisoners who were inside to go
into their cells.
Some OF the prisoners did so. and
Hr. Phillips thinking that all had
gone in. opened the door. 1t had
grown very dark in the, corridors
and the further ENDS Of the hall ia
which the prisoners had been could
not be distinctly seen. The seven
prisoners secreted themselves in this
end Of the corridor and answered to
the jailer, who thought they were
all in the cells.
He opened the door and when in
side. AS he walked up the corridor
he was suddenly seized by Arthur
Johnson and slung backward toward
the corridor. The remaining pris-
oners INN ediately made break for
the door and succeeded in reaching
the street. Johnson attempted to
follow them. but he was held by the
jailer, and in his hurry to get away
he dragged the, latter half way down
the stairs before he was released.
All reached the street through the
back door and Mccullough, who, 1t
seems. took a. different route from
the others, ran up toward Main
street. He was captured within ten
minutes after escaping.

Saving Millions For the Public.
The tremendous campaign Mr..
Fletcher is waging against Interna
tional dietetic prof1igacy has vital
economic side. Under his system the
amount eaten by the individual is so
much less lp amount and cost and the
increase of the efficiency of the indi-
vidual is so markedly increased that
all classes Of persons can add TO their
usefulness while reducing the cost of
living. Owing to the thousands of per-
sons following the teachings of "the
man of many chews'' today it is esti-
mated by recognized statistician that
Mr.. Fletcher. in enabling them TO cut
down their food bills 40 to 60 per cent.
has brought about saving of over
$o0.000.000 year in the United States
alone. And his propaganda has spread
wider proportionately In foreign coun-
tries than In America because of his
long residence I'm Italy.
Another competent statistician Is
authority for the statement that more
than 100000 families are saving from

THE respective careers of the indian
tribes of the Pueblos and the Apaches
afford an Illuminating comparison. The
Apaches were notorious as devastators,
warlike ravagers. merciless slayers.
They were most ravenous eaters of
meat.

dwelt in established villages. They
worked industriOusly. They titled the
soil, a peaceful agricultural people.
and their tribe exists today in mate

products.
