In due time the editor OF The
Georgian received the following let
ter from Mr.. Robert J. Collier, pub
Usher OF Golfers Weekly:
Dear Sir: Thanks for your note
Of November 20. which has been re-
ferred to me. I am glad to have the
opportunity Of letting you know the
facts IN relation to an editorial
which has been kidely miseonstrued.
A paragraph appeared In Golfers
some two years ago without my
seeing It. I regret to say) which
commented severely upon q lynching
In Springfield, III. While this article
made no reference to the South, it
was sufficiently obscure In language,
and intudicious in tone, to provoke
very general resentment throughout
the South.
While there was nothing further,
I am sure, from the mind Of the
writer OF that article than to re-
feet upon the South, I nevertheless
regarded Its publication at the time
as q matter for serious regret. The
attitude of Golfers toward the
South has always been particularly
cordial. We have been praised for
u sympathy In discussing Southern
problems by no less an authority than
your distinguished colleague, Mr.
Clark Howell. IN the following
words:
THE Constitution desires to con.
tribute its share Of full need Of
praise due Golfers Weekly for the
truthful, fair and fearless stand
that excellent periodical Is taking
editorially on all matters affecting
generally misropresented and mis-
understood conditions OF the South"
I am glad, therefore. to be able
TO say to you with absolute frank
ness that the article which has CIV
en- offense was printed without my
knowledge and to my deep regret;
that 1t did not refer to a Southern
city, but to a city In Illinois; that
in 80 far as 1t can be construe'
as rejecting upon the wisdom of
the South. In its treatment Of the
race problem. for upon the women
of the South. for whom I have the
most profound respect. 1t represents
exactly the opposite Of my sentiments
and the sentiments Of Golfers.
I inclose for your consideration a
few editorials published In Golfers
during the past four years. together
with the unfortunate paragraph In
question.
Very sincerely yours.
Robert J.. Collier.

was found lying on the Richmond
and Danvi!le Railroad track (now

towns of Summit and Gilbert Hol-
low. ten miles from Lexington. A
few days afterwards. Squire Clarke.
a negro. was arrested. charged With
having killed Hook. and placing his
body on tbs railroad trock TO cover
his terrible crime. For O time the
feeling against the negro ran high,
and after two trials be was convict
ed and sentenced to serve the bal
ancs Of his life In the State Peni-
tentiary. Clai he Is said to have pro-
tested his innocence through thick
and thin. but owing to the fact that
be bore a bad reputation In the COM
munity, coupled with the fact that
be and Hook had had q falling out
a day or two before. 1t was believed
that he was the guilty party.
Another thing which worked
against the accused was that be and
HOOK both resided at Gilbert Hol-
low. which was only two miles from
Summit. and both walked tho rail-
road on the night In question. Hook
was a harkeeper. and ct time. drank

the negro was tried come Of the Gill;
zens beloved that he had merely
lsyed down upon the track and went
to sleep.
Clarke did not remain in the Peni-
Tertiary long. dying about two years
after being taken there. of consump-
ton. When death was staring him
In the face, and when he knew there
was no possible escape, he Is said to
have denied any knowledge OF the
killing OF the wifte O
Four or Ave weeks ago a letter
came to Summit, addressed to Mr..
W. 3. Hook. Tie postmistress. Mrs.
Shesly, tho mother Of Clerk OF the
Court Frank ". 6healy. Of Lexing-
ton, delivered the letter to ". 8.
Hook. Jr., who resides in the neigh
borhood. not far away. The letter
was from a gentleman In Charles
ton. and IN the letter was Enclosed
a Masonic pin. bearing the inscrip-
ton Of Nv. 8. Hook" Young Hook
lid not know what to think Of II OF
frst. for be himself wss not q Mason,
and he at once began to make in
quiry. He told his friends and rele-
tives a6out It. To him the finding
Of the body Of ~. 8. Hook on the
railroad track was but q dream.
But there were others who emem-
bered that terrible tragedy. and 1t
was learned that the Masonic en-
blem WIS no other than that which
vas worn by W. g. Hok on the night
In which he met his death. but which
wss never found.
The sender Of the letter stated
that he had found the pin q few

In sending it to It's owner.

A dispatch from Kingstree 10 The

A little white girl about IS years

Ing. when she wac approached by
O negro fend about 18 to 10 years

gro seized her and dragged her into
the woods near at hand, the girl
screaming and fighting.
A young man by the name Of
Burgess. who lives 1 nthe neighbcr-
hood. and who was on the road In
his buggy, heard the Screams Of the
little girl and hastened to the scene,
Az he approached he saw the little

who broke and ran into tho woods
Mr.. Burgess gave bis immediate

Washington. have been looking
over the mining property OF the
Expansion Gold Mining company
in the Union Pass section, in which
they are largely interested. 1t Is
understood that they have con
cluded to erect milling plant on
the property and work will soon
be commenced on the grade. The
mines show great veins of gold
bearing ore and have been opened
to a considerable depth by shaft
and tunnel.
Yuma Sun: Col. J G. Denton.
of Bouse, has concluded the sale OF
the Manipulation group OF copper
claims, embracing the Little Butte,
to Louis Campton, publisher OF The
Financier of New York, and } b
Mver Los Angeles broker. Ex-
perts examined the property and
the purchasers bought only after
satisfying themselves of its value.
The price paid is not divulged, hut
it is not to exceed 100000 This
is the third big sale Col. Denton
has put through within the las
sixty days in this camp, and as it
assures big capital for develop.
ment, all are facing the new year
with high hopes.
Benson Press: Though the Ari.
iona q Michigan Development Co.,
struck the second enrichment in
its deepest workings over two weeks
ago, and has been sinking in it
ever since, its great import only
began to dawn on the people of
Johnson a few days ago when at
tention was attracted by the rich
ore being taken from the incline
shaft. After inspecting the great
blocks of ore now being taken out,
and examining the ore which was
extracted previous to the late
strike, it appears that the Arizona
d Acknowledgment Company
has penetrated the second enrich
ment Of copper ore.
Copper Era; The mineral re.
sources of the Clifton-Morenci min
ing district have been presented in
the newspapers time and again,
but capits lists so far have failed to
respond and instead of investigat-
ing the many good propositions in
this district, they go to the other
booming camps and invest their
money. The Clifton Morenci dis
trict is one of the heaviest copper
producers in the territory and
when it comes to permanency, it Is
second to none in the world. The
larger companies of the district are
gradually increasing their outputs
and today each one of them has
more ore in sight than at any tim,
in Its history.
