THE MEETING A GRAND SUCCESS
Over One Hundred Persons An.
nounced Their Intention OF Lead.
ing Christian Life. All
Were Benefited
(From the Conway Field.)

The union revival services closed
last Monday night. Our town has
perhaps never been so stirred spirit
iually in all it's history. Fully one
hundred persons decided to lead a
Christian life, besides a much larger
number of church members who were
greatly revived. In town where the
great majority of the people are al
ready members of some church this
means very much. The beneficial eff
fleets of this meeting will be felt here
for years to come.
The evangelist Rev. DR.. William
Black, of Charlotte, N. c., who con-
Quoted the meeting, endeared himself
to all. His sermons were strong and
forceful. and yet so plain and to the
point that every one was deeply i'm
pressed. His engaging personality
made him very popular both in the
pulpit and out Of it. Many of our
homes enjoyed the privilege of his
company in q social way. DR.. Black
during his brief stay here made . host

very sweet-spirited man, and he ID a
born singer. He had large platform
built In the church for the choir. He
then organized chorus choir of forty
voices and directed 1t with rare
skill. Seldom has such singing been
heard here before. The book used
was The Assembly Songs, many cop
les of which were purchased by those
attending the meeting.
The weather was very inclement
much of the time, and greatly retard-
ed the attendance at the services. But
in spite of that the morning services
were attended by two to three hun
dred persons, and the attendance at
night was usually five hundred. This
is a good record for a community our
size, considering the weather.
Hon. ]. P. Mcneil, Of Florence
was in attendance for several days
last year, much to the delight of his
many friends here. He was a boy
hood friend and schoolmate of DR..
Black. When he came, a male quar-
tette was formed consisting of DR..
Black, Mr.. Burr. Mr.. ]. P. McNeill
and Mr.. w. A. Freeman. When Mr..

for four years and returned an ex-

period the commission saved to the
State approximately $5Oo,Ooo which
was turned into the State treasury. !
The members Of the Ansel comlnis-

The governor of South Carolina was
inaugurated on January IL Of 1911
and several weeks later he sent q
special message to the general assem-
bly, charging graft and wrong doing
on the part of the members Of, the
Ansel commission: The governor,
after making the charges and insinu-
ations as to the members of the COM
mission demanded the gener raj assem-
bly, to name q special legi gislative COM
mittee to investigate. The resolution
went through both houses - directel

General Lyon, who was also attacked
by the governor, urged the investiga;-

that he be Investigated as private
citizen, State senator and chief execu-
tive. The resolution was duly passed
and sent down to the governor for his
approval. He did not approve it but
applied the veto. Following the veto
of the resolution for the Investigation,
he dismissed the members of the coin
mission on the ground of "incompe-
tency." At the last session of the
general assembly the vetoed resolu-
ton was returned. 1t was passed
over the objection of the governor by
an overwhelming majority in both
houses.

AS a result the following were
named to 60 on with the investiga-
tion: Senator'S Sullivan, Clifton and
Carlisle and Representatives Daniel,

The committee met in Columbia
last Thursday to begin the probe as
urged by the governor. First Of all
the governor was requested to ap-
pear before the committee and give
testimony. He refused to attend the
sessions and said that he did not wish
to be troubled with the committee:

The bill of indicauent specifies
that the parties named therein had
guilty knowledge Of a criminal oper-
alton which resulted in. the death
of Myrtle Hawkins.
"Boney" Bradley, who makes his
first appearance in the case' was
summoned before the grand jury
Wednesday and partially identified
by DR.. ]. H. Williams of Ashville
as being the man who last June
came to his office and asked that
he Dr. Williams) perform a certain
operation, a request which was re-
fused. DR.. Williams identified a
photograph of Myrtle Hawkins as be-
ing that of the girl who called at
his office the next day. She left on
Dr. Williams refusal to aid her.
The return of the true bills,
came this afternoon at 5 o'clock,
after three days investigation by the
grand jury. George Bradley, who is
charged with being one of the prin-
cipals, is said to have been an old
sweetheart of the; dead girl. No
bill was returned against Bradley's
wife. who was a bride of only a
few weeks at the time of the al
legged murder. although she was
named in the indictment. Beatrice

made public. Solicitor Johnson and
other officers and interested parties
were in consultation late into the
night. More sensational developments
are confidently looked for shortly.
All of the defendants were sus-
pected of having knowledge Of the
alleged crime when the two futile
inquests by the coroner were held
shortly after the body was discover

not considered sufficient to hold
them. The Bradley and Mccall

Ruchsstaetter. one Of the best known OF
the German aviators, and his passenger.
Lieut. Stille of the German army, were
killed when their monoplane plunged to
the ground just after starting on the
northwest aviation circuit of 40 miles.
The monoplane. guided by Buchstaet-
ter. rose and was taking curve pre-
paratory to Strengthening out for the
long journey when the accident occurred.
Apparently the aviator overbanked his
machine. The monopiane dropped SO
heavily that it was half buried In the
earth and had to be taken apart before
the bodies of the two men could be ex-
tricated.
Fifteen professional aviators, with mem
bers of the army aviation corps as pas
sengers had entered the contest, but
after the accident the flight was aban-
doned. The calamity was witnessed by
a distinguished gathering. among which
was the Grand Duke of Oldenburg.
