Even the Society

Scores of the best known members of
the social colony have joined the resi-
dents in this crusade and not least re-
markable is the fact that the move
ment has even swept into the revival
stage. Society folk vino have been
conspicuous by their absence from
Aiken churches for years have focked
to the "protraoted meetings. where
the ministers are denouncing the Beach
case and calling upon their congrega-
tions to stamp out scandal from Aiken
forever.
Some of the more fervid Of this so
ciety clique" have gone to the point OF
speaking out against the Beach case in
open meeting and have thus gone on
record az aiding the residents morally
in their population crusade. Undoubt-
eddy this stand accounts in large part
for the tremendous impetus of the re
viyal movement now in progress in
Aiken. Evangelsts are speaking al
three meetings day in most of the
churches and the edihces have proved
too small to hold the throngs.
The preachers lose no opportunity to
hold up the Beach case as popular
lesson, and the sentiment Of their con
gregations manifesily centers about
this issue.

Railroad to Typify
Progress of South.

Mr.. War1eld's splendid private car
lay near the Seaboard station In a
busy few hours he met several of the
best known capitalists of the South, 10
whom he con1ded his ambition of MAX
ing the Seaboard a progressive railroad.
South owned and South operated, typi-
cal of the progressiveness of the new
South.
Mr.. Warfeld said that he has def
nitely in mind the complete fulfillment
of the aims of the Southern Settlement
and Development association of Balti-
more, the incorporation of which pre-
coded and had direct bearing upon
the purchase of the Seaboard control.
Eight governors, eight railroad presi-
dents and 40 other powerful represen-
tatives of Southern interests formed
that organization in Baltimore. he said,
with the specific idea of Southern traf-

Faces Starvation.

The Superintendent declared that
even if The fugitive convict succeeded
In avoiding the food by climbing up
the side walls Of the sewer he would
still be killed by the stifng heat that
would arise from The sWirling. steam
ing water beneath him. Or If he es
capped both lhese deaths the superin-
tendent declared he could hardly keep
a straight course in the biacllness of
the tunnel but would surely stray off
into one of the dozens of other branch
sewers that ramify in all directions
from the trunk tunnel he entered. Lost
in the unlighted curves and mazes of
these ipterminable holes. the man
would have not one chance in million
of ever again reaching the light of day
and would starve to death amid the
sImnv refuse if he were not suffocated
ions before by the deadly sewer gas.
Nevertheless, armed guards are sta
1iuueG at every manhole throughout the
lepgtn of the long underground ditch
and they have orders to shoot the ne
gro on sight if he shows the least sign
or esistance to recapture
No sign Of the fleeing man had been
