British Troops Using Clubs.

Toronto, Ont, Oct. 29.-Brtish
troops lighting in Flanders have ad-
opted the weapon Of the ancient cave
men for hand-to-hand fighting in the
trenches, according to letter re-
ceived by Rev. A. l.. Geggie from his
nephew, who is at the front with the
Canadian contingent. In his letter
the writer says:
"For our very latest weapon we
have gone back to the early days. It
is a club, or, according to the mill
tary vocabulary, 'knobkerrie,' a
wooden affair similar To police
mans truncheon, studded with lead
and very literally studded with boot
tacks. 1t is for hot hand-to-hand
fighting in narrow trenches"

"Thc Girls of Long Ago"

New Hope, Oct. 26-Special: Prob
ably one Of the most unusual, and at
the same time one OF the most enjoy
able, gatherings Of the year was that
Of the girls Of long ago" at the
home Of Mrs. Lucretia Knox last
Thursday, October 21st.
Late in the fifticS Georges Creek
Academy was one OF the best rural
schools in the up-country. 1t was
located in the lower part Of what is
now Pickens county. The patrons Of
the school were well established fam
lilies who believed in thorough edu-
cation for their children. Just bes
fore the war began there were quite
number OF young girls in this
school, who were the most congenial
friends and classmates. The irregu-
larity OF the school term during the
war only made them the more zeal
GUS students and devoted friends.
AS they grew older they were sepa-
rated, some marrying, some moving
away, until at present there are only
two living in the old community.
The friends lost sigh. OF each o her
until four years ago, when one Of
the youngest conceived the idea of
getting all Of them together at her
home on Thanksgiving Day. All re-
sponded with enthusiasm and the day
was a treat to all. Since that time
the reunion has become an annual
event.
The meeting of 1915 vas no eX-
ception to the rule Of pleasant reun-
ions. All the surviving girls" were
present, their names being: Lizzie
Bowen (Mrs l.. NJ. Berry,, Rich
land; TeXie Bowen, Richland; Ann
McMahan (Mrs. w. T. IHubbard)
Richland; Ella Grice (Mrs. Rowland
Gresham), Wellford; Carrie Grice

Mary Ann McMahan (Mrs. John l..
Smith), Bounty Land, and the hos
tess, Lucretia McMahan (Mrs. l.. f..
Knox, New Hope. Mrs. S. w. Smith
and Miss Clyde Smith were also pres
cnt.
Dinner. the chief event Of the day,
was served at $50. Description Of,
or remarks upon, the menu would be
superfluOus. 1t is sufficient to say
that it was indeed credit to one Of
so famous a family Of cooks as "the
McMahan girls"
Several snapshots were taken dur
ing the day, which will prove pleas
ant reminders of the day.
In the evening. while irresistible
music for the accompaniment Of "the
light fantastic toe" was being played
on the victrola, old Aunt Martha, of
ebon hue, remarked from the door
way that "all you all needs is your
fellows, and den all dat good music
wouldn't be lost" by which innocent
remarks she made the dignified
grandmothers almost think they
were blushing school girls again. All
"the girls" left for their respective
homes Friday.

BRITISH AGENTS CONVICTED.

Blair and DR.. Thomas Adds were

hire men in the United States for
British military service. The cases
against Lieut.. Kenneth Croft, OF the

verdict was returned under instruc-

the United States District Lu"rt here.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Convictions
under the old statute making a crime
conspiracy to employ men on
American soil for military service
abroad is regarded by State Depart
ment officials as likely to bring to an
issue the question of whether the
United States shall permit to remain
in effect a law based upon a policy
which might operate to its own seri-
ius disadvantage in time of war.
The statute on which Blair and
Adds were convicted does not affect
the activities Of representatives of a
foreign power who arrange for the
return of reservists, but imposes
heavy penalties upon the agents Of a
nation undertaking to send back
home for service citizens or subjects

TRAGEDY AT LEXINGTON.
Dead Man and Slayer Belonged to
Prominent Families.


Lexington, Oct. 27.-Charle M .
Roof is dead and 7. Frank Griffith is
charged by coroner's jury with hav-
ing killed him.
The homicide occurred at about
3.15 o'clock this afternoon while Mr..
Roof was on his return home from
Lexington and almost within sound
ing distance of his home and the
home where Mr. Griffith has been
making his home during the past few
months, he having been engaged in
farming with Roof.
The dead man belongs to one of
the most prominent and we'll known
families of this county. Mr.. Griffith
is no less prominent. He is a brother
of Capt. ID. J. Griffith, for years sup
erintendent of the State penitentiary,
and who previous to his election to
that position had filled the highest
Offices within the gift Of his county
th@t Of Clerk of Court, Treasurer and
State Senctor.
According to ."e TESTIMONY z. two
eye-witnesses, Henry e. Smith, a
young farmer residing near the late
home Of the deceased, and Haskell G.
Garner, a negro laborer, Mr.. Griffith
shot Mr.. Roof while the latter had
his hands extended in the air after
having begged him not to shoot him,
appealing TO him in pitiful terms.
The entire charge entered the abdo-
men, the load apparently entering the
stomach on practically a straight line
from the front, according to DR.. G..
Frank Roberts, who made the post
mortem examination, and caused al
most instant death. Members Of the
family Of Mr.. Roof were out in the
field picking cotton, the last Of the
season. Mr.. Griffith is said to have
entered the home Of Mr.. Roof and
stretched himself across the bed and
remained there for some time, every
one being afraid to enter or attempt
to go near the angry man.
The news OF the awful tragedy was
quickly telephoned to Lexington, a
physician being summoned and the
sheriff notified Sheriff Miller, how
ever, was ip Columbia, and it was sew
eral hours before the news reached
him. Until the arrival of the sheriff
upon the scene at o'clock no one
dared enter the home Of the deceased
or go near the premises. Mr. Grif-
fifth was found by the sheriff with his
gun ntar his side, and apparently
waiting for the arrival Of the officer.
The officer brought him to LeXing-
ton and lodged him in jail
Henry e. Smith was the leading
witness before the coroners jury. He
saw the tragedy. He said that Grif-
fifth shot Roof with double -barreled
shotgun when the witness and Roof
were begging him not to SHOOT. Roof
reminded him that he had done moth
ing to him when Griffith replied that
he had run away to Lexington and
had brought him nothing to eat.
