ness on his own account in 1882 un-
der the firm name Of r. A. Lewis &
Company He also had an interest
in a business at Pelzer and one at
Darlington. In 1895 he sold out his
interest In those two places and
bought out the stock of his partner
at Bolton.
He started life on his own respon-
sibility and his first business venture
was on very small scale, but by
hard work he gradually built this up.
In 1882 Mr.. Lewis was married to
Miss Jessie j. Breazeale, and his
home life was very happy.

EFFORT TO CHEAT GALLows.
Negro Condemned to BE Hung Tried
to Escape.

Conway, Nov. 11-Melvin Watson,
the negro who killed John Watson
at Green Sea on June 2, and who
was at the September term of court
sentenced to be hanged tomorrow at
noon, made very bold and murder
GUS attempt to escape from the jail
this morning. With the heavy lid
from one of the Jail buckets he
struck Kel Fowler, white fellow
prisoner, full in the forehead, fell
ing him on the spot, and rushed out
of the jail door over the bleeding
form of Fowler and gained entrance
to the stairway, down which he was
escaping when he was interrupted
by Jailer Bruton, who heard the
commotfon and rushed into the hall
just In tiii.1 to grab the prisoner.
Another jailer and the prisoner scuf-
fled until well out on the front
porch Of the Jail, when Fowler, who
had recovered from the blow, ran
downstairs and assisted the keeper
In putting Watson back in his cell.
Fowler Is serving a sentence from
the United States Court for violation
of the dispensary law. His sentence
has nearly expired, and on this ac-
count he has been allowed many
privileges about the jail and yard.
This morning the jailer had him
securing out the upper floor of the
jail building. Assisting Fowler were
two other prisoners, who were doing
the cleaning on the inside of the
vault and throughout the steel
cages.
Melvin Watson, still in the steel
cage in which he has remained since
the trial, begged Fowler to let him
out of the cage to walk about in the
vault. After much begging Fowler
released him into the vault, but still
behind the outer door to the vault.
Watson remained out for nbout a
half hour. About this time Fowler,
who was outside the vault, went to
the door, to the vault and cracking
open the door, ordered the prisoners
into their cages. They went around
the cages, making their way in,
Watson following the others rather
slowly. They had to come to the
vault door to get into the cage cor
ridor, and as Watson got within
reach of Fowler, quickly, and while
ro"ioi was lOl hotlClllS, lie SlIuCk
Fowler full In the face with the
bucket lid, cutting a long cash to
the skull and flooring" him. AS
Fowler fell Watson pushed the door
open, jumped out into the front hall
and through the stair door and was
met at the foot of the stairs by the
jailer. But for Fowlers recovery
from the blow and thoughtfulness,
the murderer would now doubtless
be at large.
Fowler was taken to physician
and his wounds were dressed. but
he Is yet in bed from the injuries re-
ceived. The condemned man is now
safe within his cell, but raging and
cnrsing, he@"irE to be released. He
SuHcrs no Ill feeling from his at

and says that iC he is let out he will

county since Commander johnson, a
white man. was hung three years ago
for the murder of the Rev. Harmon

Lexington, Nov. 10-To-day mark
ed the opening Of the S5th annual
convention OF the Evangelical Luthe-
ran Synod of South Carolina in his
toric St. Stephens church. 1t seems
but fitting that the meeting should
be held here, for it was in LeXing-
ton that the theological seminary,
now located at Mount Pleasant, and
the English and classical institute,
now Newberry College, were first es-
tabljshed. These institutions are to-
day the pride of Lutherans every
where, and the men that have gone
out from these classic halls are fill
ing positions in all the walks of life
and reside in nearly every State in
the Union. ....
Perhaps there has never been a
more representative gathering of Lu-
therans than those assembled here.
The ministers and delegates began
to arrive last evening and to-day
practically every Lutheran church in
South Carolina is represented.
The synod was opened promptly
at o O'Clock by President Freed and
all delegates enrolled.
At IL O'Clock the annual sermon
was delivered by Rev. c. A. Freed,
followed by the administering of the
holy communion.
At the election for, officers at the
afternoon session Rev. C. A. Freed
ID. D., of Columbia was reelected
president, receiving "a out Of "A
votes cast. Mr.. Freed thanked the
synod in few remarks for having
again reposed the confidence in him,
and assured each member that he
would use his best efforts further to
promote the cause of the church dur
ine the coming year.
Rev. Jas. d. Kinard, Of Cameron,
was reelected vice president; Rev.
S. p. koon, of Prosperity, reelected
secretary, and Rev. II. B. Epting, of
Walhalla, reelected statistical secre-
tary.
The synod heard an able address
by DR.. c. r. Holland, Of Charlotte,
president of the foreign mission
board.
After the regular session this af-
ternoon there was a meeting of the

rial meeting.

DIR. BIGHAM CAN'T BE FOUND.
Convicted at Georgetown Recently
for Killing Young Mrs. Bigham.

News and Courier
Georgetown, Nov. 10.-From de-
Velopments within the past few days
1T seems likely that Dr.. G. G.. Big
ham, who with w. b. Avant, was
convicted at the last term of court
of manslaughter for the killing of
Mrs. Bigham, on Murrel's Inlet, will
yet escape the penalty Of three and a
half years hard labor in the peni-
tentiary, imposed by Judge Watts.

defendants att' rney, j. w. Rags

tor Wells wired Sheriff Scurry to ap-
prehend the convicted parties at

bond. On Saturday Avant, learning
Of his being wanted by the sheriff,
came to town from his home at
Harpers and surrendered himself
Sheriff Scurry wired Sheriff Burch, of
Florence county, to arrest Dr.. Big
BAN Immediately, but from informa-
tion 50 far received 1T seems that he
cannot be found. The surmise is
that he has fed the State.
There seems to have been some
Inconsistencies In the bonds required
by Bigham and Avant. When the
men were first arrested on the war
rants issued by the coroner, the
bonds were fixed at $500 each, being
later raised, at the instance of the
solicitor, to $4,000, under which
amount they appeared for trial. AZ
ter conviction and sentence the men
were turned loose under bond of
only $1,000 each, pending the result
Of an appeal to the Supreme Court.
1t Is said that as Dr. Bigham's family
are well-to-do, the forfeiture of the
bond Is Of small consequence.

THE LABOR QUESTION

The labor world has been disturbed
and doubtless will be disturbed for an
indefnate time to come by strikes, for
no one has yet been able to solve the
problems of establishing harmonious
relations between labor and capital.
This conflict between labor and capital is
one of long Standing. There was a
time, however, when the labor question
disturbed but little the tranquility of
industrialism. This was in the days of
paganism, when half the people where
slaves, and lived in the belief that they
were without right to life or liberty.
But, with the coming of the Saviour,
everyone was made conscious of the
dignity and rights inherent in his man
hood. 1t was Christianity that gave
actuality to the labor question. The
labor question today, is one of grave
Importance, not merely because modern
industrialism creates new complexi-
ties and frictions, but because Chris
tian principals of human dignity and
rights have become more widely diff:
fused and have more deeply influenced
the minds of mankind. 1t is because
the present age is reaching out toward
universal justice and is attempting to
secure to all mankind the conditions
which equality and justice award them.
The present vitality of the labor ques-
lions is, indeed, sign to be welcomed
because it is promise of better things
to the world.
Many plans have been formulated
for the benefit of the working man.
Some of these were wise and gave
hope that the friction between capital
and labor would disappear, but the
most perplexing of social problems
seems to be as far off as ever. Strikes
continue, with the destruction of prop
erty, paralysis of business and often
with violence and loss of life. This
fact is self-evident for the coal strike
of 1904 is still fresh in the memory of
the people of this state. 1t will be re-
membered that in this strike the use of
dynamite was employed in number of
instances against npn-union men, and
in one instance resulting in the death
of fifteen persons and injuring many
more.
AS the distance between the cap
italist and laborer has become greater,
it is inevitable that laborers should
realize the need of combining to pro-
mote and advance their interests as a
class, and for this purpose labor-unions
have been formed. The industrial
,aborer, isolated from his fellows, is
without power in presence of capital,
