BITS OF HUMAN NATURE
Picked from Here and There
and Told for What They
May be Worth

Few people, perhaps, know
that Pageland once had a negro
policeman. 1t was this way:
In the fall of 1910 the police.
man quit and for short time an
officer was wanted. Kinsey
Medlin, a coal black young
negro of small stature, decided
he would like to arrest and lock
up the persons who violated the
statutes made and provided. He
voiced his desire to some Of the
cluzenS, who saw a good chance
for a joke and encouraged Kin
scy. Mr.. Quick was intendant
and 10 him the negro went with
his application written by II. n.
Ask'ns. hlr, Quick agreed to
Cal! Il meeting Of The council ut
dark OF thc same day to consider
the application. Kinsey stayed
around until the council mut
ard was elected to go on duty
at once. Mr.. Quick told him
liquor was being sold just east
Of town and that if he would
make raid the first night he
would be considered a good Of
ficer right from the start. He
selected Mr.. Askins to go with
him, and as the town required
him to serve "a hours with out
gun, billet or badge, lMr. Askins
furnished him an empty pistol
and they went for the blind
tigers. They located the liquor
sellers just outside of town and
heard them talking of pints and
quarts. When the officers(?)
came upon them they opened
fire and Mr.. Askins fell. But
Kinsey didn't run like he should.
He tried his gun and then tried
TO get Mr.. Askins'. The tlgers(?)
fell upon him with brush and
other weapons and finally put
him TO flight.
In the chase Mr.. Askins and
one or two others forgot the
rope and were tripped where
kinsey sailed right over without
knowing there was Il rope.

badly dazed from the shock, but
otherwise not seriously hurt.
The car, full of young people,
it is said, was going down hill
to the crossing. The driver saw
the approaching train, but his

Bryan Strikes New Note at Char

kC6lOHs
Charleston, Dec. 15.-Wiiliam
Jennings Bryan, leading expo
nent of the forces in the United
States who are battling with
words against war and the gener,
al programme of defense, to-
night brought his message for
universal peace to the delegates
of the Southern Commercial
congress in the GermaniArtillery
hall, which was filled to capa-
city. Hundreds were turned
away unable to gain admittance.
The title Of the Commoner's
address was "War or Peace" He
has been delivering practically
the same address at many points
in the United States since his
retirement as secretary Of state
in the Wilson cabinet.
The address by Mr.. Bryan in-
jeCted a new element into the
commercial congress, which has
been giving serious consider
alton to the necessity of arming
the United States to reDel all in.
vasion. In his address the for.
mer secretary rIdIcuIed the idea
ofa nation attacking the United
States, thought that the driving
out of whiskey to prepare the
citizenship physically fit for a
battle is better and scathingly
arraigned what he termed the
jingo metropolitan press.
The Commoner was particu.
larly eloquent and despite the
fact that many in the audience
were opposed to some of the
policies enunciated he received
liberal applause on every point
scored in favor of peace. The
efforts of Mr.. Bryan, to secure
progressive legislation and his
constant fight for measures to
help the masses was the COM
ment by Senator Duncan u.
Fletcher, president, who intro
duced the former secretary.
Senator B. r. Tiliman was
present at the meeting but was
forced to leave shortly after MIR.
Bryan began his address. The
senator assured Mr.. Bryan that
it was his physical condition
that caused him to retire and
cold 'hat ne would read all that
he had TO say. ' = = :
