DETAILS OF EAsLEY KILLING.
Olin Flet cher, Slayer of Harrall
Goodson, in Jail.

~ GOOQSOn, IN jail.
Tuesday night, at the Easley Cot
ton Mill, in the town of Easley, Olln
Fletcher killed Harrall Goodson.
From what can be learned it seems
that several boys were sitting on the
church steps at the mill, about 9
o'clock. Olin Fletcher walked up 10
the boys and asked Luther Norris for
a cigarette. Norris gave it to him.
None of the boys had match. Olin
Fletcher, seeing Ben Harris coming
down the street, asked Harris for a
match. Harris pulled a pistol out of
his pocket and said: This is the
kind of match will give YOU" Har-
ris put the pistol back in his pocket.
Fletcher then pulled the pistol out
of Harris's pocket and began to sling
it around. It was discharged and the
bullet struck Harrall Goodson and
he was killed almost instantly. They
were young men about 20 years OF
age and unmarried. Fletcher was
caught about four miles from che
scene of the killing and is noW in jail.
The coroner held an inquest, and 1t
is said a motive for the killing was
brought out

FOUND HTM A WIFE.
Wrote His Name on an Egg and
Cupid Did the Rest.

Because an egg on which he had
written his name while packing a
crate for shipment East reached Its
destination in a fresh condition, Ed.
ward Taylor Of Alexandria, S. OAK,
a grocer's clerk. and Miss Margaret
Grayner, of Brooklyn, N. Y, were
married last week.
Miss Crayner when opening the
egg noted the name and address on
the shell, and being struck by the
freshness of the morsel Of food and
the oddness of the affair, wrote to
the young man, more as a joke than
anything else. Later photographs
were exchanged, then more notes
and finally Taylor iourneyed down
East to see in real life the object
of his peculiar romance.
Things were better in real life
than on paper, and after short
courtship lie returned to Alexandria
and the grocery store. He did not
write on any more eggs-he didn't
have to-he was engaeed and he
loved the girl and the girl loved him
The girl was the Brooklyn lass who
wrote the joke note because she
found a bayish name inscribed or
the shell of fresh egg. Two weeks
ago Taylor returned to Brooklyn and
last week married Miss Grayner.

tration in standing timber, If per-
mitted to continue and increase,
make probable a final central con-
troll OF the whole lum Der industry.
A few strong interests ultimately
holding the bulk of the timber, can
set the price of timber and its pro-
ducts.
Certain further facts, not exact
! ly measurable, increase still more
the real concentration. First, a
] further Interviewing OF interests,
corporate and personal, connects a
great many holdings which the bu-
reau has treated as separate. Sec
ond, the very large totals of timber
/ so scattered in small tracts through
lareer holdings that they are sub
stantially blocked in or controlled
by the large holders; third. the con-
centration is much larger in the val
liable species.
"The largest holders are cutting
little of this timber. They thus re-
serve to themselves incalculable
profits, which are still to accrue with
the growth of the country. the di-
miuishing of timber supply and the
further concentration and control
thereof. Many Of the very men who
are protesting against conservatism
of the forest system, because of the
tying up of natural resources, are
themselves deliberately tying them
up far more effectively for private
gain. The fact that mature timber
is thus withheld from use is clear
evidence that great additional prof.
it's are expected to accrue throu2h
further increase in value. Standing
timber is not the only question.
When the tim has been cut the
land remains. There has been Gre
ated, therefore. not only the frame
work of an enormous timber mo-
nopoly, but also an equally sinister
Hand discrimination, involving also
: a great wealth in minerals.

Torture by fire was resorted to by
two burglars who broke into the
rooms of Joseph Wishnock, a cobbler
in williamsburg, n. Y, Wednesday
in their determination to make him
reveal the hiding place of his pitiful
small hoard Of savings. It was not
until the men had burned off Wish
nock's beard and hair and had blist-
cred his face and neck that he told
that his small store Of s12 was hid
den in the mattress on which his tor
turers had him pinned down. At the
hospital where the cobbler had his
painful but not fatal burns dressed
he identified two young men whom
the police arrested as the pair who
had tortured and robbed him.

nesday morning put.a bullet into the
heart of his son, William David
Lanford, 35 years old, killing him
almost instantly.
The son and his family lived with
the old man on plantation on the
Enoree river, three. miles from
Woodruff: Because of constant
chickering's the son had decided tc
move. When he came with a wagon
to take away his household goods
the father bade him not drive upon
the yard under pain of'death: The
young man ignored the command
and was shot.through the heart.
After the killing, the old MAI

or left, paying no heed to the curl
Gus persons who followed him
rode to Woodruff, calmly announced
that he had killed his son and sait
he was going to Spartanburg to sur
render to the sheriff.
The train had gone and Lanforc
accordingly went to Foster & Bry'

Weathers, clerk, to telephone the
sheriff, W. J. White,,. to come fol
him. This was done aid Lanfort
was committed to jail late in tht
afternoon.
In Jail he complained of begin IL

that during the last six months he
has had Is physicians treat him fol

able to do anything for him.

not noticed any skin eruptions, i
there were any, but he would make

MAY RUSH TO WAR
RELATIONS TO RUSSIA AND
CHINA ARE STRAINED.
Russian Troops Are to be Dispatched
to the Chinese Frontier to Scare
Them.

A dispatch from London says the
relations of Russia and China are
strained to the breaking point. Rus
sia Thursday notified the govern
ments of Great Britain, France and
Germany of her intention to make a
military demonstration on the Rus
so-Chinese frontier owing to China's
persistent violation of the St. Peters
burg treaty of. 1881!
Russian troops will be sent forth
with to the district of Iii. The ex.
tent of the demonstration, tits said,
added in the diplomatic note will de-
pend entirely upon the attitude as
sumed by China.
The vital questions involved are
free trade in Mongolia, the extra
territorial rights Of Russians in Chi
ma and the establishment of a Rus
sian consulate at Koebdo, Mon
golia.
There have been rumors recently
of an intention by Russia to bring
pressure to bear upon China he
cause Of alleged violations of the
Russo-C Chinese treaty That the sit
uation was acute, however, has been
denied both by, the Chinese foreign
board and the Russian legation at
Peking.
It has been admitted that there
were differences in the interpreta-
tions of the international agreement
made at St. Petersburg and Peking.
The treaty adopted in 1881 expires
this month and it has been reported
that China was unwilling to renew
it, at least not until certain modifi-
cations have been made.
The changes have been closely
guarded by both powers and what
stage the negotiations have reached
was not indicated until yesterday,
when the St. Petersburg Gazette an
nounced that. an important confer
ence had been held at the war min
istry to consider "China's persistent
flouting of treaty stipulations."
The province Of Ill., to which Rus
sian troops will be sent, lies In the
northern part Of the Chinese empire.
BY provision Of the Russo-Chinese
treaty of 1851 the western portion
of Iii is Incorporated with Russia in
order to serve as,:s.. place of estab-
lishment for the inhabitants of Rus
sia, who, having adopted Russian
dependence, had to abandon the
lands which they possessed there.

PENSION FRAUDES
TIRE LEGISLATURE HAS BEEN
ASKED TO TAKE ACTION.
The Veterans Bill Will Remedy the
Matter, and They Are Deeply In
terested in the Measure.

tereSted In the measure.
Charging fraud in the pension
system of the State. Gen. c. Irvine
Walker Of Charleston has made tae
following statement:
-5'."There is "a /, very deep interest
among the Confederate veterans
here as to the final outcome Of a bin
now before the legislature. to amend
the pension laws of the State, SO as
to stop the stupendous frauds which
at present exist. The movement
started in Camp Sumter and was
taken up most earnestly BY Gen. B.
H. league, commanding the South
Carolina division veterans, and rep
resenting the veterans Of the entire
State. Gen. league had presented
to the senate ard house bill, which
the veterans thought would correct
or check the evil. :'=s..
-; tssThe veterans have evidence of
such general fraud in the giving OF
pensions to those not entitled to re-
ceive the same, that it prevents the
worthy veterans and widows of such
from receiving all that the State
generously awards them. The
worthy should receive s36 per an
mum, but the appropriation IS
grabbed up By, SO many unworthy
that the worthy received in 1910
only $40. Little more than half!
"The veterans sent a representa-
tive to Columbia to lay the matter
before the. legislature. He appeared
before the finance committee Of the
senate. and the military committee
of the house, and both committees,
after careful consideration, made
unanimously favorable reports. This
shows that these influential commit
tees were convinced by the veterans
showing that the great evil existed,
and were satisfied with the remedy
which the. veterans suggested in
their bill. - ~. ~
a '""The veterans have laid bare the
horrible conditions existing, shown
the; frauds being annually perpe-
trated upon the worthy veterans and
upon. the .state,::and If the, legislature
does not act, it must answer for a
continuance Of the evils to the peo-
pie, whose money is being misappro-
priated and criminally wasted The
bill provides an immediate remedy
which. will check a: large amount Of
fraud this year and eventually purge
the rolls of:;the unworthy. s. IS
"The best informed veterans think
that there ought not, to be more than
1000 soldier pensioners, while the
pension roll of 1910 shows 1856!
The United Confederate veterans
think that they had enrolled consid-
erably more than half the. survivors
of the Lost Cause in the State. Last
year the State division had on it's
rolls 1895. The pension roll of
1855 soldiers is more than double
the number Of comrades in United
Confederate camps! Nothing can
more clearly demonstrate the utter
absurdity-if not fraud-of the pen
sion roll!
"The veterans have exposed the
fraud and feel that it is now up to
the legislature to remove the stigma
and save the State money. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that it will not adjourn
without taking the desired action" ;"
