TOWN OF FORT MILL
GETS FIRST H0NORS

Says Savoyard, the we'll known
Washington writer, in a recent
issue of the Columbia State:
In some remarks of mine on
the recent adjudication of the su-
preme court touching on the 18th
amendment, l expressed chagrin
because of the fact that the
Southern people had reared no
shaft to commemorate the noble
loyalty to master and mistress
displayed by the old black mauma
and uncle during the war of
1861-65 that eliminated in the
emancipation of the bondman
and the abolition of African
slavery.
1t appears that | was wrong in
my statement. A gentleman
from South Carolina, Mr.. Dych-
es, reminds the readers of the
Columbia State that at Fort Mill,
S. c., there is a monument erect
ed in Confederate park to the
former negro slaves of the South
and on one of it's sides is the fol-
lowing inscription:
"1860-1865.
The faithful slaves who, loyal
to sacred trust, toiled for the
support Of the army with match
less devotion and with sterling
fidelity guarded our defenseless
homes, women and children dur
ing the struggle for the prin-
ciptes of our Confederate States
of America"
1t is handsome memorial, Is
feet high, constructed of marble,
resting on marble base that
reposes on a concrete foundation.
Capt. S. E. White reared this
shaft to the honor of the negro
slaves who were so devoted to
the whites of the South in the
terrible conflict of 1861-65. Capt.
White does himself as much hon
or as his tribute pays to the
slave. Such a man must have a
a noble heart and lofty mind
all honor to him. | thank Mr..
Dyches for calling my attention
to this patriotic deed of a son of
South Carolina.

Warehouse for Tirzah.

There is going to to be State
warehouse at Tirzah within the
next thirty or sixty days, if a
number of leading citizens who
met on that subject Thursday
afternoon, carry out the plan
upon which they resolved.
The meeting was held in the
school house at about 3 o'clock.
There were about forty or fifty
representative farmers present.
Senator McLaurin gave de-
tailed explanation of the system,
told the farmers how to or
ganize the company. how to get
the warehouse turned over to
the State, and defined the nature
and value of a State warehouse
receipt as compared with the
receipt of an independent ware
house. In conclusion he told the
farmers that if they expected
help they must help them
selves. - Yorkville Enquirer.

FRANK WAS LYNCHED
BY INFURlATED MOB

The body of Leo NJ. Frank,
who was forcibly taken from the
Georgia State prison farm Mon
day night, was found early Tues
day morning hanging from a
tree, two miles from Marietta
and near the>home of Mary Pha-
gan, the girl whom he was ac-
cused of numbering.
Frank was taken from the pris-
on at Milledgeville by men in au-
tomobiles and rushed to Marietta.
He had been dead several hours
when the body was discovered.
The wound in his neck, made by
fellow prisoner some weeks
ago, had reopened and the man
bled profusely from the wound
and his body was covered with
blood.
Five thousand persons gath
cred about the tree shortly after
the news of the discovery. On
account of the absence of Sheriff
Hicks, of Cobb county, the body
remained hanging for some time.
His hands had been heavily hand
cutfed and were tied in front of
his body.
There was little doubt but that
the lynching party was composed
of men from Marietta. Several
loaded cars left there early Mon
day night and could easily have
made trip to the prison and re-
turn. The authorities so far have
no clues as to the guilty parties,
but are making all efforts to OBJ
tain evidence against the perpe-
traitors.
Superintendent Burk, of the
prison farm, described how he
had been called out and held up
by the lynchers, who handcuffed
him. The mob then overpowered
the guards and dragged Frank
from his bed by arms, legs and
hair. The superintendent said
Frank was evidently suffering
intensely as a result of the rough
treatment as he groaned heavily
as he was being taken off. The
whole affair took no more than
five minutes and Mr.. Burk did
! not recognize any of the men.
Few wore masks.
1t appears that the guards at
the prison offered little resist
ance. After they were released
they made no effort to rescue
Frank from the mob.

The Merritt Reunion.

The annual reunion of the
family of Mr.. Robert Merritt
was held Saturday at the home
of Mr.. James Merritt, in Upper
Fort Mill, and was an enjoyable
affair for the large number
present. Mr.. Merritt was on
that day 60 years of age. He
has four children, 40 grand
children and several great-grand
children, all of whom were pres
ent. Besides these, a number
of Mr.. Merritt's friends were
guests and in all 110 were pres
ent. A long table had been
erected under the giant oaks and
there was an abundance of good
things to eat. In the afternoon
a baseball game was played and
about 5 o'clock the crowd began
to break, bidding Mr.. Merritt
goodbye and wishing for him
many more birthdays.

UNCLE sam REFUSES
AuSTRiA'S DEMANDS

The United States in a note
to Austria Hungary published
Monday firmly but politely de-
clined to accede to the request of
the Vienna government that the
export of arms to the Allies be
stopped.
The communication was in re-
ply to the recent Austrian pro-
test that the United States in
permitting the export of arms to
Austria's enemies was violating
the spirit" of neutrality. The
American note was a flat denial
of that contention and vigorously
upholds the right of the United
States, under international law.
to export war munitions.
In justification Of its position,
the United States recites among
other things that international
law, the practice of nations, the
security of the United States and
other nations without large mill
tary or naval establishments and
neutrality itself are opposed to
prohibiting the export of war
munitions to a belligerent in time
of war.
The United States contends
that it cannot deny to others the
right Which it claims for itself
to purchase war munitions from
neutral in the event of for
eign attack. In this connection
the United States hints that it
might have to buy from neutrals
if attacked.
