F'orty-eight years ago on November
14th, 1866, the firm now known as
the G. w. F,airchild & Sons Inc, jew
elers and opticians, began business in
the Citizens building in Main street
At present in its spacious show rooms
at 997 Main street the firm is prepar-
ing for its annual holiday sale and
display.
In this connection it-may be inter-
estfng to know that the firm before
it opened the doors of it's new store,
40 years ago, began to advertise in the
Evening Farmer and it has continued
as one of the Farmers best and most
valued advertisers ever since.
The firm first began business in the
old Citizens building, where the five
and ten cent store is now located. At
that time this was the only building
In Bridgeport in which the windows
of the stores were of plate glass. The
same spirit of progress and enterprise
which Mr.. George w Fairchild, the
founder Of the Arm displayed when
he secured the only plate glass front
store in town in which to launch his
new venture has been displayed by
himself and his sons ever since
Prior to 1865 Mr.. Fcairchild had been
In charge Of the diamond department

has changed It's location several times
since the business was first started

WORK FOR LONG CREEK SCHOOL
Committee Appointed to Work for
Beaverdam Association.

Editor Keowee Courier: Since the
last issue Of The Courier the moder-
ator Of the Beaverdam Association
has appointed the following gentle
men as the Committee on the Noun
tain School, to be located at Long
Creek: f. H. Shirley, P. P. Sullivan,
w. M. Brown (Walhalla), John B.
Harris and M. H. Lee.
Mr.. Shirley proposes to enter the
field actively for contributions for
this enterprise, and all that stands in
the way of its speedy completion is
lack Of interest in the Lonr 'neek
section and the Beaverdam As. )cia-
ton. 1t could not be expected that
as great ali enterprise as that con-
templated could be located and or.
ganized in any section without local
support and interest; still the task
for the Long Creek section shall not
be burden to them. Long Creek
will enjoy the greatest benefit from
the school, but the good springing up
from such an enterprise cannot be
confined to any section, 1t will be
perceptibiy felt ali over the county,
and by all denominations. The Deo-
pie of the Beaverdam Association
must bear the most Of the expense OF
building, but after that the greatest
expense of maintaining the school will
fall on the shoulders Of the Home
Mission Board Of the Southern Bap-
tist Convention.
What do you say, brethren? Shall
we build this school? Spartanburg,
Greenville and Pickens counties each
mas one. There Is one located in
Rabun county, Georgia. Shall Oco-
nee have one? If you are willing to
help, answer to f. Fl. Shirley when
he calls on you, which will not be
long Off. Be ready; Mr.. Shirley will
not take q denial. Baptist.

Let Everybody Attend.

Editor Keowee Courier: The Far
mers' Union picnic to be held at Oak
way next Friday, the 22d, ought to
attract wide attention, as it will be
the first Of its kind ever held in Oco-
nee. 1t will be to the interest of
every Union man to attend this meet
ing, and not t) Union men only, but
every man anG woman in Oconee, as
1t is free to everybody and every
Dody Is expecting a jolly good time.
Come, one and all; bring your bas-
kets full Of good things to eat, spend
the day in pleasant converse with one
another, swap experiences in farming
and stock raising. Make yourself
known to the world. And best of all,
we will get to listen to two Of the
best Union speakers the State af-
fords. President Dabbs, Of Sumter,
will address the farmers in the morn
ing, and Mr.. Harris will hold us
spell-bound in the evening. 1t will
be pleasure to see those mems
faces and to hear what they have to
say. Come! A Member.

Democrat, and candidate for the

Is Justly entitled to success, although
its leaders in the past have been
faithleSS to the pledges Of the party.

other candidates to pull out"

Judge w. S. Godbee, County Commits

though Judge Godbee died instantly.
his wife lived until this afternoon.
After the shooting, during which
she had exhibited rare coolness, Mrs.
Godbee, the divorced wife, placed her
revolver in her handbag and walked
apparently without undue haste, to
her home not more than two blocks
from the post office. Here she was
found few minutes later by Sheriff
Johnson, Of Jenkins county, and

THAW ESCAPES MATTEAwAN.
Reward of $500 Offered for His Cap
0nre-His Wife Nearly Crazy.

Matteawan, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-
Harry K. Thaw, the slayer Of Stan
ford White, escaped from the hospi-
tai for the crimmally insane here at
Z 40 o'clock Sunday morning. A dart
for4ltberty through an open door Of
powerful automobile that stood
qutyering outside and a flight like a
rocket for the Connecticut State line,
30$miles away, accomplished his es-
cape.
Tonight he was still at large and
the hospital. authorities felt certain
that he was outside the State. Once
beyond it's boundaries Thaw is free.
Only months, perhaps years, of liti-
CATION can bring him back to Mat
teawan and only in one event-that
he Sbe adjudged insane in the State
to which he has fled.
Five cQnfederateS manned the car
in which Thaw escaped and big,
black limousine which traiIed it past
the asylum gate. The police have
thessdescriptions Of Thaw's confede-
rates and the names under which
they registered at a local hotel Fri
day might and are seeking them
The hospital authorities believe
that Thaw fed to the shore Of Long
Island Sound and boarded a yacht
waiting with steam up to rush to
Europe.
A reward of $500 for Thaw's ap-
prehension has been offered by DR..
r, b.. G.. Keih, superintendent of the
asylum. Howard Barnum, the at
tendant at the gate, past whom Thaw
flashed in his break for freedom, is
under arrest and other arrests are
expected to follow in the rigid in
vestigation begun by DR.. Keib.
Never Back to New York.
New York, Aug. 1S.-Harry x.
ThaWs who escaped from the State
hospital for the criminally insane at
Matteawan yesterday morning will
probably never be confined again in
NewlpYork. Lawyers seem unani-
nous in the opinion that there is no
hopefor extradition If Thaw is found
in some other State.
District Attorney Chas. S. Whit
man said that Thaw was acquitted,
and that no Indictment is pending
aga5 at him and he cannot be iiex-
trsfti TED. - 4
Z The bar association has been Wig
'orously pressing for a verdict such
as guilty but insane" as in Eng
land, where such criminals can be re-
covered. Some lawyers say the only
chance Of recovering Thaw is to show
that he bribed State official.
Evelyn Nearly Crazy.
New York, Aug. 1S.-Guests at
the hotel where Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw
is staying, to-day declared that she
is nearly crazy with excitement. She
rs fearful Of her husband, who es-
capped from Matteawan Sunday
Thaw told her some time ago: az sup
pose that I'll have to kill you next"
Thaw Arrested in Canada.
Montreal, Can, Aug. 19.-Harry
Thaw has been arrested at Coaticook,
Canada. Police say, however, they
cannot hold him unless American
government demands it.
Can Be Returned to States.
ottawa, Can, Aug. 19.-The i'm
migration authorities have declared
that Thaw will be deported under
the regulations porviding that any
person, who, within five years of in
generation in a penitentiary or in
sane asylum enters Canada, can be
sent back as an undesirable.
