ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.
Negro Who Ran Away From Lex
ington Caught Here.

Caroline Richardson, colored, was
arrested in this city Thursday morn
ing by Mayor Dukes and Superinten-
dent of Streets ]. B. Ethridge.
Richardson is about forty years of
age, copper colored and has a rather
pleasing facial expression. He Is an
escaped convict, having been sent up
from Richland county in 1898 for
the murder Of a negro named My
ers.
In an interview with the Orange
burg correspondent of The News and
Courier, Richardson admitted his
identity and stated that he had es-
capped with about seven other con-
victs from the chain gang guard ir.
Lexington county in November last,
and made his way direct to this city,
where he has been ever since working
under the name of Frank Middleton.
He said he did not know the names
of those who escaped with him,
neither did he know their where
abouts, that they took other direc-
tions and he has heard nothing OF
them since. He says they were shot
at by the guard, but none of them
was hit. He found little difficulty
in releasing himself from the shack
les once ne was beyond the reach OF
the guard, and then made his way
here on foot.
When asked why he had risked
stopping so close to the scene OF the
crime and among those who would
surely recognize him, he said his
intention was to go to Georgia, but
as he had no money, it was neces-
sary to make some to pay his ex-
penses.
Mr.. Etheredge had had his eye on
the negro for several days, but was
not in possession of the proper In
formation on which to arrest him
until Wednesday night, and he lost
no time in taking the fellow in
Thursday morning. This informa-
ton came through the Penitentiary
authorities at Columbia, and also
showed that a reward of $50 is Of
fered for the capture of Richard
son.

THEY WANT BASE BALL.
Movement Started in Sumter to Form
a League.

NSs~S3SSs
A dispatch from Sumter to The
News and Courier says: Some time
ago efforts were made to revive the
South Carolina League of Base Ball
Clubs, of which League Sumter had
been one of the leading clubs, hav-
ing won the pennant two of the three
years. of its existance.
This year, however, owing to the
heavy losses incurred during the
past season, it was decided not to
place team in this League, and it
seemed for time that Sumter was
to be without base ball during the
summer. But the ball spirit would
not die, and it is now doped out that
Sumter is yet to have team in the
field.
Efforts are now being made to
form an association Of four or six
towns in Eastern Carolina, such as
Darlington, Cheraw, Florence, Man
ming, Orangsburg and Camden, and
to secure a team largely of college
ball players, which would give the
towns some interesting sport during
the summer. Such teams could be
maintained at comparatively small
cost, and the cities which would be
included being close together, would
reduce the expenses materially.
"The fans of Sumter are anxious
for such League to be formed and
if the other towns will but do their
part Sumter is ready to do hers.
This has always been a good ball
town, and the attendance is good.
With teams maintained at q small
salary limit, and with the Towns close
together it is believed that all ex-
pcnses can be met and tn: clubs will
rot come cut behind, as in former
years"
Sucn League would bp so'''
thing for all the towns, and we would
be glad to see Orangeburg in it.

ANOTHER RAILROAD BE-
COMES a DEVELOPER.

One Of the most interesting expert
ments this country has seen for many
a dav will be tried at Bacon, Del, by
the Pennsylvania railroad for the bene-
fit of the farmers Of the Delaware
peninsula. in the States of Delaware
Maryland, and Virginia. 1t will be an
experimental farm, and if it succeeds in
accomplishing what is expected of it, it
Is likely other railroads will follow
suit in various parts of the country.
1t Is due to President James McCrea
that. the farm will be started. He
visited the Eastern Shore country re
Gently, and noticed that only about
half the acreage was under cultivation.
He reflected on the fact that while
these acres were lying idle there was
pressing demand in the nearby great
cities for the very products these
lands might bring forth. He concluded
that it would be good business for the
railroad TO establish an experimental
and educational farm, and put in
charge Of d. an able superintendent
qualified to show the farmers the best
methods of cultivation and the posi-
/ biIities OF the soil when rightly treated.
/ President McCrea calculates. of
course, that the more the productivity
OF the lands tributary to the Pennsyl-
vania system is enlarged the more the
+ lines will have to haul And in this he
/ is obviously correct. IL is a good bust
ness proposition for the railroads to

MAY COMPLETE THE CANAL
IN FOUR YEARS.

The Hon. Joseph Clay Stiles Black
burn, former Senator from Kentucky,
more recently member of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, has come back from
Panama with cheering news. He pre-
diets the completion of the canal in
four years. Senator Blackburn says
he has been watching the course OF
fhings closely in the canal zone, and is
convinced it viii be completed by that
time
Colonel Goethals, chief engineer, has
Fefused to make so roseate a prediction
rs this, but has predicted that the
work will be done by January l, 1915.
At the same time the impression is
strong here that Colonel Goethals and
bis aides really hope 20 finish the great
waterway before that date, but have
publicly named date which they are
confdent is sufficiently remote to
enable them to have the canal COM
pleted in spite of unexpected drawbacks.
Senator Blackburn is a public man Of
ability and perspicacity, and is not &C
rustomed to going of half cooked. His
prediction that the canal viii be done
sn four years is entitled to be taken
seriously In support of it he points
10 the superb organization which has
been perfected by the canal authorities
and the remarkable progress now being
steadily achieved If he is right ships
ought to be going through the canal in
the latter part Of 1918. Americans viii
find it easy to believe that he is right
sor it corresponds with what every dis
INTERESTED American wants to believe.
The Panama canal, in the opinion Of
snany, will prove a wonderful boon to
she country Il is expected to expand
trade, lower transcontinentaI freight
rates, and immeasurably strengthen the
nation in time of war. It is Just
possible it win prove a great disap-
sointment IL all of these respects. Not
q few able thinkers believe It will not
accomplish the things expected OF it.
But at any rate the public wants to
see the canal in operation, and wants
20 know what it viii accomplish. If it
IS going to be a benefit OF a burden,
we want TO know it as quickly as pos
bible, and there viii be general gratifica-
Iion at the optimistic forecasts of Sen
Etor Blackburn.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND WEST
ERIN INSURGENTS.

According to q staff representative Of
hhe New York Times, who has been
going about through Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, and Iowa for the purpose Of find
ing out the views OF the people in those
estates, more especially OF the insurgent
element of the Republican party, and
pf discovering how President Taft's
ntterances have impressed the insur-
gents, there is most interesting
political situation on in the Middle
West which viii be reflected sharply in
Washington this winter. It may have
important results IN the coming Con-
Rressional campaign, and it is likely
10 give the Republican leaders a good
many sleepless nights between now and
the next general elections.
Broadly speaking, this writer finds
that President Taft IS stin on trial
with the Western insurgents. They are.
Bs everyone knows. bitterly hostile to
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich
They hope TO see President Taft break
with these two gentlemen. Hitherto
President Taft has sought to 90 along
in the maintenance Of good relations
with those two leaders. From his view
point it has seemed 10, be the part
al party wisdom, and the way to get
things done in legislation, 10 keep in
harmony with the leaders of the regu-
lAr organizations ia each branch of
Congress- From the insurcent view
The maintenance Of good relations
with Aldrich and Cannon means
that the President cannot work in
harmony with hem. They are pre-
pared TO wage a more bitter war than
ever on Speaker Cannon and Senator
.Aldrieh. They are looking forward
eagerly for the coming session and the
disclosures OF that session as to what
sill be the course OF the President.
In the meantime, Uncle Joe" has
grabbed up the Big Stick, or some
thing closely akin TO that weapon, and

gents, and Democratic Congressional
Chairman Lloyd and his aids are
sstching the situation with a view 10

prices of potatoes are high, and i'm
portations OF potatoes are beginning TO
be heavy, there is plenty of land about
Eastern cities where potatoes could be
and ought to be raised. He Is trying
to induce farmers and truck gardeners
to take advantage of the opportunity.
The railroad companies can assist ma
terially in this. What the Pennsyl-
vania road has done, other lines can
do. 1t Is time to recognize that the
