ELkS TO BUILD new HOME
BUILDING FUND HAS BEEN
STARTED AND WORK MAY
START NEXT SPRING

Little Falls Elks have decided that
their present. quarters are inadequate
to accommodate the large membership
which they now have and are contem-
plating the erection of home in the
near future.
To the above end building fund
has been started, which is growing
quite rapidly. Hereafter one half OF
the initiatior fee received from new
members will be put into the 1und. A
fair sized sum, which was set aside for
the expenses Of a delegate to the ma
tional convention at Denver, Col, but
which was not used for that purpose,
has also been added to the fund, to-
gether with a part of the initiation
fees of several members who joined
the order recently.
AS soon as fair sized sum is Sc
cured the Elks will proceed to pur-
chase a lot and get started with
the preliminary work Of erecting the
building. It is probable that the
building will be two story structure,
with store rooms on the first floor.
The cost Of erecting the. building will
be financed by stock subscriptions.

WORKING ION Spill SECTION
TWO MONTHS TIME REQUIRED
TO COMPLETE EAST WING
OF DAM

One Of the biggest jobs on the CON
struction Of the east wing Of the. new
concrete dam here by the Water
Power company Ss now under way.
This is the spillway section which will
extend from the waste oates to the
sluiceway, a distance Of over $50 feet.
In order to get foundation for the
concrete work in this place it was
necessary to build coferdams and
drain that part Of the river bed Of all
the water. When the cofferdam was
completed large pump, operated by
electricity, was put in to pump out
the water. 4 hole, extending almost
the entire distance Of the spillway sec
ttion and over twenty feet below the
rest Of the river bed, remained, and
this must be filled with concrete be-
fore work can be started on the spill
way proper. The work of filing this
hole may commence this afternoon.
The gates for the waste gate sections
are also being installed now.
{ With favorable weather and nor
NAL stage Of the water the east wing
of the dam will be completed in

Two men ESCAPE FROM JAIL
oLMsTEAD AND BELL, HELD FOR
RoBBERIEs, BROKE JAIL
YESTERDAY MORNING

A. brick wall a foot thick seems to
be no bar to prisoners plans when
he considers breaking Jail. At least
this did not seem to trouble two young
men who made their escape from the
county Jail here between midnight Of
Wednesday and 5 O'Clock yesterday
morning by making hole in the wall
which was plenty large enough for any
ori:inary sized man to crawl through.
The escaped men are Robert Olmstead,
held OH a charge of assaulting and
fobning Walter Garfield, and Albert
Bell Of Pierz, held for burglarizing a
general store in Pierz recently.
Olmstead claimed wnen he was
locked up that he was suffering from
heart trouble and was allowed to
sleep in the corridor OF the Jail, near
a window, every night. Exactly how
Bel got into the corridor is not
known but he joined Olmstead some
time after midnight and the two pro-
ceeGed to make hole in the brick
wall. They muffled the noise with a
quit and escaped without being heard
bv anyone, although the sheriff and
his family were in the building and
several other prisoners were in the
iail at the time.
Some are of the opinion that Ohm
stean was assisted from the outside by
some pal, as he had received some
money several days before and men
toned. to other prisoners that he was
expecting a friend to come there in
the near future.
Tue authorities have been unable to
ger any trace of the men. Officers in
neignboring towns have been notified
tc &c on the lookout for them.

Negroes on PuIlmany.

The railroad commission Wednesday,
night issued rule TO show cause di-
rectcd to the Pullman company and
railroad operating Pullman cars why
they should not be required to oper-
ate separate Pullmnns for white AID
colored people in South Carolina un-
der the Jim Grow" car law. The
hearing Is set for Thursday. June 11th.
The Pullman company was severely
censured by tho commission on tho
charge that they actually encourage
negroes to ride in the same Pullman
with white people.
The following resolution introduc-
ed by Commissioner Hampton was
adopted unanimously:
Il feel that the outrage and in
dignity incident to the Pullman
company allowing negro passengers
travelling through the state of South
carolina. to. occupy. sama coaches al
white people should be done away
With. For Information which / have
obtained. which. ! believe to. be cor
rect, the Pullman company has In
stE1ctea its official to in. no way
discourage any negro applicant for
Derth or passage on a Pullman car.
1t seems, instead of trying to dis
courage, 1t as thcy, have done in the
past, they are giving every incentive
to the negro through instructions to
their officials. to travel on the Pull
man. This outrageous condition
should not exist and l feel that It
is time for the Railroad Commission
of South Carolina to take imperative
action in tta- premises.
Then be It resolved It. Is the sense
of the railroad commission OF South
Carolina that the officials of the Pull
man cars should b., notified to appear
before the commission on date, set to
show cause whys they should not COM
ply with the provisions of section No.
3249, code of South Carolina, 1912. ap-
pltcable to tha separation OF the races
on passenger coaches within the boun-
daries OF South Carolina"
