Bible Story Salvation of Woman.

New York, July 31.-As a reward
for having been the means of turn
: ing his daughter from the downward
to the straight and narrow path, the
father of the young lady bequeathed
David S. X. Byrne, an evangelist, a
large amount of money, which Mr..
Bvrne says he will use in an endeavor
to save young women and girls.
The reclamation of the young wo-
man dates back six years ago, When
the evangelist was accosted by her
while she was in saloon with the
request that he buy her drink. He
induced her to leave the place with
him and took her to restaurant.
There he read the story of the Prod
igal Son. The girl wept.
I'D like to have you talk more to
me-" she said. Il am so tired OF
this, and I want you to hell me.
She told him that her name was Lucy
Bvrne. and that she came from Bal
timore, and that her father was
wealthy. Finally the girl consented
to return to her home, and few
weeks later the evangelist received
letter from her father saying the
Girl had returned, and adding:
"One thing l want to do in appre-
citation of YOUR work. | want to sup
port YOUR undertakings. Help other
women as you have helped my girl.
7 will stand by you. And because |
feel so toward you l ask that you
change your name to Byrne.

DIES AFTER TAKING POISON.
Miss Irene Ethridge Dies at the Home
of Her Parents in Georgetown.

Georgetown, July 30.-Informa-
tion has been received in this city of
the death of Miss Irene Ethridge, IS.
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. B. Ethridge, near West An
drews, on Saturday.
The cause of death was poisoning
from a mixture of chloroform and
laudanum, which the girl had swal-
lowed some two hours or more before
she was found in her room in q semi
conscious condition and frothing at
the mouth. Following bath in the
afternoon she had gone to her room
for the ostensible purpose of taking
q nap, as had been her custom. AS
the time approached for the prepara-
ton. of supper her invalid mother
sent boy to call her. The boy re-
ceived no response to his rap on the
door and so reported to Mrs. Eth
ridge. He was told to go back to
the room, enter it, and awaken the
girl, who was oversleeping.
When the 10y opened the door he
found the girl lying across the bed,
her mouth covered with white froth.
DR.. ]. S. Porter was hurriedly sum-
moned. He detected an odor Of chlo-
roform in the room. He exerted
every effort to revive the girl, with
out success. She died few hours
after being found.
After a lengthy search a vial con-
tanning some remnant of a mixture
o. chloroform and laudanum was
found. The girls mouth smelled of
the mixture. The physician said she
had swallowed a quantity of it.
Miss Ethridge had recently re-
turned to West Andrews with her
parents from North Carolina. 1t is
said she had been despondent for
some time, saying she didn't wish to
live in the country on the farm.
She was an attractive and popular
girl

No Political Significance.

In a letter from Hendersonville,
n. c., to the Pee Dee Advocate Of
last week, we find the following:
There are many visitors at Senator
Jno. L. McLaurin's home these days.
His machine is kept busy, for every
body seems to want to see him. To-
day he had as his guests Mr.. T. B..
Stackhouse, of Columbia, and Mr.. A.
w. Knight, Editor of the Bamberg
Herald. Your reporter asked the
Senator if there was any political
significance in these visits, and he
replied. Not the slightest. Mr..
Knight is an old Bennettsvllle boy
of whom l am very fond, and Bas-
comb Stackhouse is my cousin

The other day the duke of West
minister lent Grosvenor House for a
meeting of the Invalid Children's Aid
association, and during the meeting
one very good story was told.
A speaker mentioned that one
child who had been helped by the
society was asked for her fathers
name.

And what is his Christian name?
was the next question.
"'E amt got one answered the
child, obviously not having a ghost

The name of the principal business
street in Bennettsville has been Dar-
lington street ever since the town was
founded, we suppose. However, it
has recently been changed to Main
street We have often wondered
why the town was named BENEFITS
vile. Seems to US it would be a
good idea to change the name of the
town. The county seat of county
ramed Marlboro, and one of the
finest counties in the State, too,
should bear more attractive name
than BennettSville.

Man Leading Double Life.

Man Leading Double Life.
Montgomery, Ala, July 31.-Until
Albert Driscoll Cammayer was arrest
ed at Chattanooga last week on a
charge of blowing open the safe of
the Green Cove, Fla, postofflce, he
was leading double life-that of
safe blower and religious worker-ac-
cording to postoffice inspectors who
came to Montgomery yesterday to get
information about Cammayer's ca
reer in Alabama.
Cammayer-known in Alabama as
Driscoll-had been recognized for
several months as one of the best
citizens of Green Cove. He had gone
in the best society. He had formed
the acquaintance of Green Cove
girl. They became engaged and pre-
parations we're made for the we'd
ding.
One night the postoffice safe was
broken open, and stamps and some
money stolen. Cammayer-then go
ing under that name-was not sus-
pected. No trace of the safe blower
could be found. Then Cammayer
went to Chattanooga as represen-
tatiye of the Jefferson Powder COM
pany, of Birmingham.
Luck went against him. He lost
his duplicate check and the railroad
refused to give him his suitcase. Cam
MAYER declared that he could identify
articles in the case and he mentioned
a suit of clothes, a comb and brush
and other articles. But he said
nothing about $500 worth of stamps
which we're hidden in the bottom OF
the suitcase.
Then Cammayer decided he ought
to make a more thorough search for
the check. He went to his hotel and
found the lost slip. But, in the mean
time. railroad officials made a thor
ough search of the suitcase and
foun the stamps. Cammayer pro-
duced the check and demanded the
suitcase. Detectives were called and
Cammayer was arrested.
Postoff1ce inspectors could not find
a postoffice in the Chattanooga dis
trict that had been robbed recently
and other divisions were notified.
Green Cove,s office had been robbed
a few weeks before and Investigations
showed that the numbers of the
stamps in Cammayer's possession cor
responded with those stolen from the
Florida postoffice. Cammayer denied
that he had robbed the postoffice.
News of Cammayer's arrest went to
Green Cove, where he was regarded
as an upright citizen. People there
refused to believe he was interested
in the robbery, and his fiancee de-
clared she believed him gentleman
and she is still standing by him.
Cammayer's finance is daughter of
a superintendent of a large plant in
Florida, but postoffice inspectors
have refused to make public her
name
Cammayer was convicted of rob-
bing the safe of Hirscher Brothers,
in Montgomery, in 1904. He was
sentenced to twenty years in the penl-
tentiary, but was paroled by Govern
or O'Neal in 1911, when wardens
reported that Cammayer had been
converted and had become minister
and religious worker. Soon after be-
ing released Cammayer was employ
ed bv the Jefferson Powder company,
of Birmingham, as travelling represen-
tative and it is alleged that he used
his position to get explosives to use
in his criminal operations.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 6-The ac-

Burleigh county in appointing F. L.
Watkins, Of the state enforcement
league, constable is believed to indi-
cate that strict enforcement of the
state laws has been decided on in
this county. This. appointment has
been hanging fire for some time and
failed at recent meeting. One COM
missioner was not present at the last
meeting and the appointment of Wat
kins was resured after several ballots.
Watkins has been very active In
the work of Kidding this city of blind
pigs and other illegal joints, but it
is said that he has met with indiffer-
ent support from many Of the Off
cials elected to enforce the laws of
the state. OF late public sentiment
has undergone a change in this sec
ton, it is claimed, and it is believed
that from now on a relentless war
will be waged against the vice ele-
