METHODIST SOCIAL
A SUCCESS

About rs young people gathered
together at the M. E. Church parlors
Friday evening in response to an
nOuncements sent out by the Epwortf
League, bearing the perpIexing SYM
bols, B. A. P, L. A. P, and n A.
P. AS the guests arrived each was
tagged" with some letter, contain
ed in the name of some particular
species of the apple, and after all
had arrived they formed into groups
SO that the letters of each group
would correctly spell the name of
the apple. Each company was re-
quested to compose a poem about
their apple, after which the rhymes
were read by a representative from
each group. 1t was very surprising
how many genuine poets were found
in the crowd, and after all of the
impromptu L-Jductions were read
the B. A. P. was awarded as first
prize, the reward being a big apple
pie, fully Is inches in diameter, for
mally presented by Rev NeWing.
Miss Grace Goggins read the poem
composed by the prize group and the
verse is without question worthy of
publica tion.
THE WINE SAP.
When nights grow long and nights
grow chill,
The cricket chirps in the room so
still,
The old folks sit by the fireside
bright,
Eating wine-saps, red, far into the
night,
O! how they love to sit and dream,
Watching the light on the wine
saps gleam,
pare,
Swinging the peal thrice round in
the air, it falls,
And the initial sof the future beloved
lies there.
The consolation prize, L. A. P,
meaning little apple pie, was also
presented by Rev. Newing and N. A.
P, meaning no apple pie, was given
to the remaining guests.
Hundreds of little red paper ap
pies had been previously hidden for
the guests to- find and the one find
ing the most was presented with
basket of fruit, Mr.. Wheeler per-
forming the act of presentation. La
ter in the evening refreshments were
served, consisting of apple pie and
cheese and coffee. All who were
present are reporting a delightful
time and everyone says that the So
cial was one of the most successful
functions ever given by the Epworth
League.

Haskell's Demurrer Overruled.

Chickasaw, Okla, Nov. 15.-The
demurrer filed by Gov. Chas. N. Has
kell and five other Oklahomans to
indictments charging them with
fraudulently securing from the gov
ernment title to a large number of
town lots in Muskogee, Okla, was to-
day overruled by Federal Judge John
A. Marshall.
The defendants were ordered to
appear for trial Saturday morning at
Chickasaw.
Judge Marshall's ruling was that
the statute of limitations did not
enter into the case because the con-
spiracy to defraud alleged in the in
dictments was continuous and was
therefore punishable at any time.
Judge Marshall in his opinion con-
tended that the alleged conspirators
intended to practice fraud on the
government. He said that the law
provides that all Indian land trans
actions must be approved by the Sec
retary of interior of the United States
and if an official undertook to act
without this authority his act would
not be legal.

Claims He Was Robbed.

Spartanburg, Nov. 15.-E. A. Ed
wards, a business man of Zirconia,
N. c., claims he was robbed Sunday
night of $10S and fine gold watch
while he was in the room of John
Davidson in the Walker building. He
claims that he was invited and taken
up in the room by one Karl B. Adams
to have a good time," as he under
stood. While in the room he claims
to have been robbed of his purse and
his watch. Tonight, in the presence
of police officers, Edwards identified
Adams, Davidson and Daddy Grant
as three of the men who helped to
rob him. Accordingly warrants were
sworn out for their arrests. They
were taken to the city Jail, but gave
bond and were freed.
E. A. Edwards is business man
of Zirconia, N. c., His family re-
Gently moved to Greenville, but he
still does business in Zirconia. Sun
day night he was in the city on his
way to Greenville, and having some
time between trains he came down
in the city to take in the sights. He
says he got with young man who
took him in an upstairs room to have

Ralph Boylston Appeals.

An appeal has been filed at the
Supreme Court in the case of the
State against Ralph Boyleston who
was convicted along with Lloyd
Boylston in Barnwell county of the
killing of Cleveland flaming on the
4th of June, 1909. Ralph Boylston's s
attorneys now make an appeal to the
highest court of the State, the de-
fendant having been in the penlten-
tiary.
There are several grounds for ap-
peal, one of the exceptions being
that one of the defendants attor-
neys was too unwell to conduct the
trial. Other exceptions are technical
in their nature, several having to do
with testimony as to tracks found at
the scene of the homicide. One ex-
ception is on the ground that his
Honor erred in holding that the State
had a right to sever the indictments,
trying the two Boylstons separately.

DUKE BUYS TRACTION LINE
DEAL MEANS MUCH FOR PIED
MONT SECTION.
Will Connect Anderson, Spartanburg,
Greenville, and Other Towns
by Trolley.

Greenville, Nov. 15.-The Ander-
son Traction company to-day was
purchased in Greenville by the Green
vile syndicate composed OF L. W..
Parker, w. J. Thackston, H. j..
Haynesworth, J. B. Duke and B. N.
Duke, the last two being associated
with the American Tobacco company.
The purchase was made from E. W..
Robertson, who recently has bought
in this company's property.
The Messrs. Duke came to Green
vile to-day to meet the other parties
in the transaction and returned to
Charlotte tonight. The amount of
the purchase price has not been stat
ed. This is one of the most import
ant business transaction that has
taken place in this section for some
time.
The Dukes in the syndicate have
taken over the property with the
purpose of extending the interurban
line of the Anderson Traction COM
pany from Belton to Greenville and
from Greenville to Spartanburg. Pa
pers of incorporation will at once be
applied for and the name of the new
corporation will be the Greenville,
Anderson & Spartanburg Traction
company Subscription books will be
opened within short time and the
people of this section will be given
an opportunity to subscribe to the
stock on the basis of the purchase.
Within a reasonable time a survey
will be made for the extension of the
line to Greenville and Spartanburg.
The MesSrS. Duke are, understood
to be controlling factors in the South
ern Power company, concern which
will soon have developed about 200,-
900 hydro-electric horsepower. They
are already transmitting this power
to Greenville from developing plants
on the Catawba.
The announcement that they have
bought the Anderson Traction COM
pany and will construct interurban
lines linking Greenville, Spartanburg
and Anderson indicates an intention
to utilize much of their power for
traction purposes and seems to in
clude a bright prospect for electric
transportation throughout a great
part of the Piedmont country. The
industrial and commercial signifi-
canoe of this purchase of the Ander-
son Traction company's property can
scarcely be overestimated.

special to the Star from Clinton, N.
c., says that W. T. Hamilton, Sc
years old, who myteriously appeared
at lumber camp, near there, recent
ly and took a position as night watch
man, committed suicide to-day by
blowing off his head with shotgun.
Hamilton was well bred, educated,
but gave no account of himself fur
ther than to say that he came from
South Dakota. It is believed that he
had a past and brooding over some
trouble led to his self-destruction.

Hanged at Conway.

At noon on Friday at Conway,
Melvin Watson was legally hanged.
paying the penalty for the murder Of
John Watson, white man at Green
Sea on June 2. The trap was sprung
at 1927 and in IL minutes he was
pronounced dead by DR.. E. Norton.
Seven minutes afterwards the body
was cut down and prepared for
burial.
There were in the large crowd OF
nearly 800 people, several Green Sea
people present and from them 1t was
rumored that there would be trouble
if the relatives of the negro sought
to carry him back to his home for
burial; hence no one claimed the
body and the county supervisor had
it inferred in the woods near the jail.
Contrary to expectations, Watson
was as quiet as a lamb when the OH
GERS entered his cell to prepare him
for the execution. The death war;
rant was read to him by Sheriff
Sessions and he stated to Rev. Mr.
Edward of the local Methodist church
that he was ready to die and told
the sheriff to let the hanging be as
quick as possible.
AS he was led from his cell, in q
clear voice he cried out to Dick
Small, his spiritual adviser, who ts
awaiting trial for wife-beatfng,
Goodbye, Uncle Dick, come on and
hold the flag right on" He never
discussed the crime.
Several of the late Mr.. WatsonA
relatives were present, including his
father and two brothers, who Witness

over they left with an appearance OF
