ONE ON HIS EXCELLENCY.
Yeggman Walked Out Of Govern
or's Office, Escaping Officers.

Columbia, April 26: - While a
United States marshal was waiting
in the outer office with warrant
for his arrest, James Johnson, alias
Portland Ned. who was yesterday
prroled by the Governor, walked out
of the inner office and vanished.
The Governor had the prisoner
brought from the penitentiary and
he was waiting in his inner office
while the Governor was communi-
eating with the Federal authorities.
The Governor stepped out to the
outer office, and while he was away
Portland Ned" politely walked out
of the private Office and vanished.
This man served seven-year SEN
tence in the Federal prison for dyn-
amiting postoffice safe at Enoree,
in Spartanburg county. and was SEN
fenced to the State prison tor ten
years for the same offense.
Being paroled yesterday after
noon, a warrant for blowing post
office safe at Plymouth, N c, in 1898
was taken out before Commissioner
Sloan and placed in the hands of
Deputy Marshal Sem. The latter
was waiting in the Governors outer
office to serve the warrant when the
prisoner. taking advantage of the
Governors absence from his inner
office, walked out and disappeared.

MURDER MOST FOUL.
John Q Lewis Slain at His Home
Near Chester.

Chester, April 25:-John @ Lewis,
an old Confederate soldier,w MUIR
dered at his home, three miles west
of Cornwell,in this county, last night,
the motive evidently being robbery,
as watch and pistol belonging to
the deceased were missing. This
morning the murder was discovered
by James Dove, a farm hand, when
he went to the house to perform
morning chores, and the alarm was
spread hurriedly through the neigh
borhood. Sheriff Colvin and depu-
ties arrived on the scene early, but
vigorous search has not resulted in
the apprehension Of the assassin.
1t was at first thought that 1t
might have been a case of suicide,
but the finding of two wounds, one
in the side and the other in the back
discounted this theory and the Coro-
ner's jury brought in a verdict OF
death at the hands of some unknown
party. However, it was necessary
to continue the inquest on account
a scarcity of testimony.
Mr. Lewis lived alone, at some dis
tance from the nearest neighbor and
as he was a man of some means it is
the general opinion that he was muir
dered for money that he was sup
posed to have OF the premises. Most
of his money, however, was in the
bank at Chester, and the sum of for
ty dollars, which was in the house,
was not found by by the murderers.

YOUR KIDNEYS.
KiDqSiree Residents Must Learn the
importance OF Keeping Them Well.

Perfect health means that every
organ of the body is performing its
functions properly.
Perfect health cannot be enjoyed
if the kidneys are weak and disor-
dered.
Thousands testify that Doan's Kid
ney Pills have a reviving action on
weak kidneys.
What this remedy has done in so
many cases of this kind is the best
proof of its merits.
Read the following. It's testimo-
ny gratefully given by a Florence
resident.

to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills

LAST PILGRIMAGE
CT Confederates---Pcunion a.
Chattanooga NcxtNlOnth.

Perhaps the last pilgrimage they
will make as a body to the famous
battle grounds of Lookout Noun
tain, Chickamauga and Mission Ridge
will be the 1913 Reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, May
1929. The railroads of the South
eastern Passenger Association have
made thirty day rate of a cent a
mile. The War department has loan
ed the requisite number of tents and
cots in order that Chattanooga may
suitably care for the $4,000 veterans
who are expected to attend, and who
will be lodged and fed free of all
cost.
The United Sos of Veterans will
hold their reunion at the same place,
May 27-29. They will bring with
them the usual bevy of beautiful
Southern women, as sponsors. maids
of honor and chaperons, all of whom
will be lavishly entertained by the
citizens of Chattanooga.
Enthusiasm and interest never ran
so high in the South over the annu-
al reunion of the battle-scarred vet
erans whose spectacular parade at
Chattanooga is expected to be view
ed by over one hundred thousand
visitors in that city of like popula-
ton.

Why is our State ridiculed? Why

pie, who put Cole L Blease in office,
with crowd in Virginia who are
trying to erect monument at the
graves of the Aliens. Friends, doesn't
it make your blood boil, as it were,
to hear our State thus raked over

that one will feel it an honor to be
from the old Palmetto State, and
not lower our heads when told that

JAKE, BACK NUMBER KING,
SELLS HIS FREAK BUSINESS
Finds That Selling Old Issues OF
Newspapers Is Not
Paying.

NEW YORK, February Jake, the
Back Number King has gone out of
business. according to notice posted at
his Park row stand today. His collec-
ton Of more than $1,000 back numbers
OF newspapers, in the accumulation OF
which he has spent the past twelve years,
with occasional lucky sales at high
prices, he has sold to paper mill for
the paltry sum Of $37 80.
At back number rates Jake would have
got a million dollars for the papers, he
estimates. but this isn't a back num-
Der age" he has learned. People don t
care any more for the past, because
they are too busy thinking Of the future.
I could name any sum I wanted for a
copy of a newspaper three years hence,
but nobody cares rap for a paper three
years old"
The highest price Jake ever got for
a single old paper was SO from a banker,
he says. and for q set Of thirty papers
once he received 1925. But as a going
business the back number trade is a
slow one for Park row.
