Westminster, May 17.-Editor
Keowee Courier: Permit me space in
your valuable paper to send a final
word Of greeting to one Richland cor
respondent, commonly known as
"Pluck." l had hoped that my last
to satisfy all minds (this noble wri-
ter included) concerning the track
meet Of April 18th, which has long
since passed into tho annals Of un-
written history, and, we hoped, was
never to be spoken of again. 1t is
hard to convince some people, how
ever-especially when their power Of
understanding is painfully limited
hence the failure in tbs case.
However, here's to YOU, my dear
"Pluck," and may you absorb enough
Of this to at least partially satisfy
your brilliant mind concerning the
real sentiment which prevails in
Westminster regarding the "Rooter
Correspondent" and the treatment
our Cleared track team" received at
the hands Of your Richland kinder
garten!" God bless the sweet little
infants in all Of their innocence, for
surely they have not reached the
years Of accountability.
Had not the good people of West
minister asked me to express their
views and sentiments, regarding this
recent outrage, through the columns
Of The keowee Courier should cer-
tainly have left my own personal
feelings uneXpressed My kind
friend reveals bit Of astonishing
news when he advises the public that
all the bowling in Westminster was
produced by only ono wolf. Well,
II the personal sentiment OF the in
diVidual pupils, and each member Of
the faculty Of the Westminster High
School could be combined into one
united howl, the "Sagers" Of Rich
land would go panic stricken, tramp
ling their beloved infants under foot
in an effort to escape the claws Of
this vicious wolf. In all that I say,
and have said, only voice the scnti-
ment Of Westminster and all other
reasonable, honest, clear-minded
people In tho surrounding commu-
nifty. That is all tho backing want.
If, with 1t, my distinguished friend
wishes to consider me as being alone,
| am we'll content In NV loneliness.

Leader of Hillsville Tragedy Hears
Fate in Despair.

Wytheville, Va, May 17.-Floyd
Allen, the mountaineer on trial for
the murder of States Attorney w.
NJ. Foster, who was killed in a raid
on Hillsvile Court in March, was
to-day declared guilty Of murder in
the first degree. The jury was out
all night.
Sentence was not pronounced upon
Allen to-day, as he may be called to
testify in other cases. When the
verdict was announced Allen relaps-
ed into despair.
The case went to the jury early
Thursday afternoon when Common
wealths Attorney Wysor concluded
his arguments. After three hours
deliberation the jury returned to the
court room. The foreman announced
that no verdict had been reached, but
that Juror w. r. Williams desired to
ask further instructions regarding
the possibility Of a verdict for
lesser crime than first degree mur-
der. The court outlined the law at
length and the jury again retired.

would doubtless have a contaminat-
ing influence upon the good morals
Of any self-respecting gentleman. It
is both amusing and pitiful to note
the comparison he makes between
the "wolf Of the Western hills" and
mysclf-amusing because the COM
pariSon is so unreal and ridiculously
absurd; pitiful In that person sup
posedly sane should have the brass
to try and drown the real truth and
cndeavor to fool the public by trying
to create, in his very immature inn
agination, some kind Of a dramatic
picture Of the wolf in the Western
hills. or course this worthy" has
never seen wolf or his likeness, for.
as a matter of fact, he has never gone
beyond radius of forty miles from
illustrious Richland, the place Of his
noble birth. However, if he should
ever be 50 fortunate as to take a
Western trip, and during his extern
sive rambles IN said country should
meet with any of his imaginary
wolves, and in his surprise display
the Kind of cowardice he and his
comrades showed when they met the
Westminster track team at Green
Vile April 18th, he would undoubt-
edly set pace that even a WesterIS
wolf could not stand.

sist this "beared friend" in seeing
himself as others SEQ him.

Editorial LmZincsS.
(AndersOn Mail.)


The greatest display of editorial
laZlncss we have seen in a long time
appeared in the last issue Of the
Southern Christian Advocate. A
Methodist church was built in Spar
tanburg, where the Advocate is pub
lished, in day. The daily papers all
over the country thought enough of
the matter as news item to give 1t
a great deal of space. The moving
picture people made films OF the
church as the building progressed,
and will show them all over the
country. The editor Of the Advocate
merely mentions the fact Of the build
ing OF the church in a day, and says
he would have printed an account of
1t II 1T had been furnished him.
Editors OF religious papers, if they
expect to accomplish anything, have
got to follow the example Of the daily
papers-go out and dig up the news
themselves and not depend on other
people to do their work for them.

Of red, gray, mulatto, dark loan,

Monroe, in which we live, has about
1000 population, is the county seat
Of Walton, and as an educational and
