BARELY ESCAPED LYNCHING.
Excitement at Pelzer and Negro Was
Carried to Anderson.

Anderson, July 25.-A young ne
gro by the name Of Newell Williams
narrowly escaped being lynched in
PelZer yesterday afternoon by being
brought to Anderson. The negro is
charged with indecent exposure of
the person in the presence of some
white women. The people of Pelzer
became incensed at this and a near
lynching was imminent. The negro
was beaten up considerably, and was
suffering quite bit when brought to
Anderson, but he was rescued from
the crowd before they did him any
real harm.
The affair caused much excitement
in Pelzer, and the Anderson authori-
ties say that it was only due to the
excellent work OF the PelZer authori-
ties that he was brought here alive.
The jail has a rather full house
just at present.
The authorities are still at work
on the case OF the crank who has
been placing distractions on the
Blue Ridge railroad tracks, and
though the case is a hard one, they
say they will finally get the man.

Edward Callas Of Gainesville

Edward Callas, of Gainesville,
Ga, was among friends in Walhalla
for a short while Monday, having
arrived here Sunday night. Mr.. Cal
las came over on account of the i'll
ness of his father, who lives in the
mountain section several miles above
Walhalla. We are glad to learn
from Mr.. Callas, however, that his
father, j. S. Callas, is considerably
improved. We trust that he may
soon be enjoying his usual robust
health.
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. NJ. Brown ana
daughter who have been spending a
few weeks in the formers old home
in Maine, returned last week to their
home in West Union. to the delight
Of their many friends. MIR. Brown
reports weather quite different from
that which we have been enjoying
60 here in the South for some
weeks past During his visit he not
only had to resort to the wearing of
heavy clothes, but witnessed the
passing Of many automobiles whose
occupants wore heavy overcoats
with fur collars for comfort.
Attention is directed to the ad-
vertisement of Ruskin Anderson, of
Seneca, which appears on the second
page of this issue. Mr.. Anderson
has inaugurated another of his spe-
cial sales, which will begin to-mor-
row (Thursday) morning. Read this
announcement and give him call
He has many special bargains that
should interest careful buyers. He
takes stock in August, and he finds
it easier to count cash than goods,
hence this special offer at the pres
ent time. Don't let this opportunity
slip if you are in need OF anything in
his lines.

II. GORDON LANGSTON DEAD.
Had Been in Poor Health for Several
IearS-Soundly Converted.

There are many in Oconee who will
learn with deep regret of the passing
away of II. Gordon Langston, who
was well known all over Oconee and
in other counties as a man fearless
in the discharge of his duties, hon
est and honorable in his dealings
with his fellow men. Mr.. Langston
passed to his reward last Wednesday
night about 9 o'clock, after a brief
serious illness, though he had been in
failing health for several years. His
last illness commenced Monday
night before his death.
Mr.. Langston was born in Pickens
county August %, 1853, and in 1876
was happily married to Miss Rebecca
Entrekin. Funeral services were
! held Friday morning at 10 o'clock,
the interment following in Westview
Cemetery, the services being con-
Quoted by DR.. J. l.. Stokes, of the
Methodist church, with which the
deceased had united about four years
ago.
We join with others in extending
to the bereaved ones sympathy in
| their sorrow. Plain, unpretentiOuS
| unObtrusive-his later years giving
evidence Of sound conversion and the
daily living Of a thorough Christian
| life-Gordon LangstOn made staunch
| friends who will miss him and will
klong remember him pleasantly.
| We are in receipt Of the followin G
| short article, which speaks Of the de-
ceased fOrcefully, giving clearer
view Of the inner life Of Mr.. Lang
ston:
III. Gordon LangStOn.
| When | came to the Walhalla
| Methodist church seven months ago.
one of the first to welcome me was
| that man who was everybody's
| friend, II. Gordon Langston. On
every hand he was known as "Uncle
Gordon He drew the little chill
dren to him as he bound the older
ones by hooks Of steel. Yet he was
not learned, nor rich, nor powerful
He was loved for himself alone. His
was ever friendly spirit; and by
grace he became IAN lSraelite indeed
in whom there was no guile"
On trip together to Seneca, Bro.
| Langston first opened his heart to
me, his pastor. He told me Of his
late profession of religion. 1t was
only four years ago, under the
preaching Of DR.. S. r. Belk, of At
lanta, during the pastorate Of Bro
Driggers, that he definitely gave his
heart and life to God. Many testify
Of the wondrous change in his life
and the self-evidencing reality of his
religion, while he himself knew the
sweet witness Of the Spirit, and con-
sciOus communion with God.
Bro. Langston was one of natures s
noblemen. He was a good man.
full Of the Holy Ghost and OF faith"
We miss him, but know where to
| find him.
He was not quite Sc years Of age.
He leaves a worthy widow, who was
| Miss Rebecca Entrekin; one son,
William w. Langston, Of Enterprise,
Ala. and two daughters, Mrs. Frank
Morgan, Of Walhalla, and Mrs. G.. A.
Reck, Of Dora, Ala. They have the
richest heritage in the memory of
this good man. }. l.. Stokes.

SOURCE OF SOIL Fertility
Department Of Agriculture Advocates
Use Of Various Methods to Intro
duee Needed Humus.

A definite relation between the
amount of humus, or vegetable matter
in the soil, and its crop-producing
power. as shown by yields of corn,
is given in figures just issued by the
department Of agriculture. The de-
partment therefore advocates the use
of various methods to introduce the
required humus into the soil.
Experts Of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country,
and particularly OF the South, have
lost and are losing immense amounts
of this source Of soil fertility through
forest fires which apparently do lit
tie immediate damage. but rob the
soil of accumulations of humus. In
many parts Of the South land is being
cleared for farming. and where such
forest land has not been burned, there
is large percentage of vegetable
matter. which provides considerable
fertility, and a good texture. More
over, this soil has a greater capacity
to absorb and retain moisture, and
thus is less likely to be washed and
quilted under heavy rains. For these
reasons. leaving out of account the
damage to standing timber. the de-
partment's authorities are agreed that
fire should be rigidly kept out of wood
lands.
