Escaped From Gang; Quickly Caught.

John Green, negro, one day last
week effected an escape from the
county chain gang, which is, situated
near Ehrhardt Green had evidently
in some way previously cut his
shackles loose, tying them together
with strings, to await an opportune
time to make a getaway. This op-
pOrtunity soon came when he was
some little distance away from the
guard, whose attention just then was
called by another convict. AS he
turned, Green made a dash for liber-
ty, leaving his shackles behind, tear
ing them easily away. He eluded his
pursuers, and waited until night,
when he entered the stable of far
mer and stole out a horse. Green
rode the animal for some distance
and then entered another farm yard
and was hitching the horse to a buggy.
In some way the horse got loose from
Green and he went into the lot to
get another horse, when the yard
dogs got after him, and he had to
leave rather hurriedly. A little later
ne was recaptured at Hilda, and he.
is now safely back on the gang
again: Green also broke into a COM
lssary and had stolen a quantity of
canned goods. He is now serving a
sentence for breaking into a store in
Bamberg, and has escaped from the
gang once before.

What They M.ink.

The Greenville Daily News recent
ly undertook to ascertain the senti-
ment of the legislators with regard
to the insurance matter. The fol-
lowing questions were asked:
1. Do you believe an extraordi-
nary session to consider the question
desirable?
2. If such an extraordinary ses-
sion were convened, would you vote
for modification of any nature of
the insurance acts passed by the gen
eral assembly of 1916?
3. What action, in your opinion,
should be taken in regard to the
present situation with reference to
fire insurance in South Carolina?
The following answers were made
by the two Bamberg representatives
in the house, as printed in the
News:
Bert D. Carter, representative:
Does not favor extra session, but
would vote for repeal or modifica-
tion. II am in doubt at present. as
to what should be done.
J. Wesley Crum, Jr., representa-
tive: Favors extra session "provid-
ed the legislature has changed it's
sentiments and will repeal the act
and go home. believe there is SEN
timent sufficient for modification, but
am not certain as to repeal. I would
vote for repeal outright. We have
no assurance that modification would
remedy the situation, and l believe
we should have assurance for vot-
ing"

Crops Suffering From Drought.

Questioned regarding the condi-
ton of crops generally, the farmers
of the county make rather pessimis-
tic replies. The lack Of rain is be-
ing felt in every part of the county,
especially around Bamberg, as no
rain, excepting one little shower that
scarcely laid the dust, has fallen here
in some six or seven weeks. Good
showers have fallen within the past
three weeks in other parts of the
county, but the hot sun soon dried
out the earth again.
The grain crop seems to be the
greatest sufferer from the drought
up to this time. Oats and wheat will
be harvested now. within the next
week or two. No rain of any conse-
uuence has fallen since the heading
season began, therefore the heads
are very imperfect and faulty.
The farmers report that cotton is
uninjured, and is doing fine where
it came up before the drought. Corn
is suffering but good rains at this
time will doubtless bring it out all
right. The weather man has promis-
ed general rains throughout the
South for the latter part of this
week.

Rain Promised This Week.

The following is the weather re-
port sent out from Washington for

by the middle of the week local
showers and thunderstorms are prob
able over the great central valleys
and the plains States, and the latter
part of the week in the middle At
lantic States and throughout the
South.
THE weather will be generally
fair the first half of the week
throughout the Southern States

Denmark After Blind Tigers.

Denmark has gone out after the
blind tiger industry in her midst
with a vim. Within the past few
days three negroes have been COM
mitted to the chain gang for thirty
days each, after trial by Mayor White
in the municipal court, and several
others paid fines aggregating three
hundred dollars. Six arrests were
made, it is stated, and all of them
were convicted, three paying fines OF
500 each, and three going to the
county chain gang.
The town authorities recently in
stigated a campaign against the tlg-
ers. They hired detective to work
up the cases against the tigers. Chief
of Police w. J. Hutto, with the aid
of the detective, soon got into their
midst strong, with the above result
It was during this campaign
against the tigers that the chief, up
on the advice of Governor Manning
confiscated the large shipment OF
whiskey en- route from Savannah to
Charleston. 1t will be recalled that
the boxes were labeled "crockery,
and contained nearly 1900 pint bot
ties of fire water
1t is quite evident that Denmark
is not a, healthy place for the blind
tiger to ply his trade.

the war claims committee of the
national house. He had endeavored
to have the committee allow belated
claims for cotton confiscated during
the war go before the court of claims;
that, he said, was voted down by the
committee, on account of the sec
tional feeling prevailing. The North
ern Democrats, as we'll as the North
ern Republicans, stood against him.
With reference to the refund of
the cotton tax, Mr.. Byrnes stated
that after Investigating the mat
ter, he was fully convinced that the
farmers of the South would not ma
terially benefit from this matter.
Mr.. Byrnes told, in very inter-
esting manner, the story of the bat
tie at Rivers Bridge fifty-odd years
ago, when small detachment of
brave Confederates held large force
of federals at bay.
This narrative was especially in
structive to the young folks present
and to those not acquainted with the
account of this engagement. Mr..
Byrnes made a fine address, and was
frequently interrupted by loud ap-
plause.
One of the most touching incidents

dress. DR.. Watson arose and asked

should they agree to help pay for

of neighboring farms? Practic-

since that is fundamental. The
Commissioner Of Education be-
lieves that if the tax system were
put on a basis of equity, disre-
garding class ideas and distinc-
tions, and incorporating fairly
and fully the recognized princi-
pies of taxation in democracy.
the most important improvements
now desired would follow logical
ly or would be easily obtainable.
More and better teachers, more
and better supervision, more con-
solidation, more club work and
more home project work, each and
all of these will be attainable with
a more abundant supply of school
revenues. No Delawarean can
possibly feel proud of his state,
