Who Is Rack Of Funds &?

Phoenix, Ariz., July 26.-yThe
source of the big fund In the hands of
the I. w. w. in Arizona has been
traced to German hands at Hermo-
sillo and Guaymas by Cochise county
officials, according to reports received
here.
Some time ago two Mexicans were
arrested In Tucson with $4,000 in
gold in their possession. They claim
ed to be en- route to Chihuahua, and
as they had declared the money at
Nogales they were released. This is
believed to be only one of several
large consignments Of coin sent by
German agents in Sonora to the l. w.
w. representatives in Arizona
through main hands.
It Is said also that some Of the
messengers entrusted with the money
never reported. One Of these had
a large consignment for Biabce.
When the messenger reached tho
United States he found that the I. w.
w, had been deportod from Bisbee,
and Immediately left for Los Angeles.

Thoughts of Old Piclsens.

Editor Keowee Courier: Kindly
allow me space in your columns to
say few words in regard to Mr..
Cary's article in recent issue Of The
Courier. Personally I read the arti-
Gle with unusual interest. largely be-
cause also first saw the light of day
within mile Of Old Pickens church,
on the farm known as the old Reeder
place. 1t always makes me feel sad
to go to Old Pickens, for have bur-
led there father, grandfather, great
grandfather, aunt and infant sister.
What Mr.. Cary had to say about
Mr.. Keith's farm also proved inter-
esting. l had the pleasure Of going
over part Of his farm last summer,
and Judging by his surroundings and
the activities about his place, any
one can readily see he Is farmer of
the modern type. Quite easy it is to
account for James Nvatt continuing
to live on the plantation for seven
teen years. Mr.. Keith has the repu-
tation Of being kind, accommodating,
honest and square in all his business
dealings, ready and willing to give
his men a helping hand in time OF
need.
No doubt a large portion OF the
early settlers around Old PicSens
have passed into the great beyond
since Mr.. Cary lived there. Statis-
tics show that 67 people die every
minute in the year the world over;
and more are born into the world, as
the population docs not decrease.
A number Of families have come
from other parts of the State and set
tied in Oconee as is shown in the fol-
lowing figures. Oconee had in 1890,
1857 people; 1900, 23,634; 1910,
21,331. John J. Reeder.

coroner's inquest was held, and the
body Of William John Hunnicutt was
sorrowfully borne to the cemetery at
New Hope church, followed by an
immense throng of grief-stricken rel
atiVes and friends. One negro. Fra
Zer Copeland, was arrested, tried and
publicly executed at Walhalla for this
atrocious crime.
1t was universally believed that the
object of the murderer was robbery,
as Mr. Hunnicutt was not known to
have an enemy in the world. His lit
tie son said there we're three in the
crowd. one on the wagon, who struck
the fatal blow, one in front of the
mules and the third coming out from
the side of the road.
The boy Newell, who so narrowly
escaped death in this fearful tragedy,
remained with his mother a number
OF years, went to Atlanta, Ga, where
he has been and is now engaged ex-
tensively in farming as we'll as in the
plumbing business. He married Miss
Lola Delay, of Atlanta, 20 years ago.
He is prominent in the church, popu-
lar In his community and decidedly
prosperous in business.
T. Y. Hunnicutt, the youngest son
OF this remarkable family, was born
in 1876. He lived at the old home
stead until he was 27 years of age,
married Miss Lila Abbott, went to
Tampa, Fla, and was employed in
the street car business for about two
years. He was instantly killed by
coming in contact with a live wire,
and thus ended the life of a bright,
promising and useful young man. His
remains were shipped home and
buried at New Hope.
Miss Lula, the oldest daughter, has
been in Atlanta a number Of years,
successfully engaged in the millinery
business.

WAS 1T
A GHOST?
BY F. A. mitchell

Any boy who has studied United

edict Arnold's treachery in his inten-
tion to surrender West Point to the
British, how Major Andre of the Brit
fish army was captured at Tarrytown
with the papers In the case in his boots.
the horror Of General Washington and
the execution Of Andre as a spy.
Andre was executed on the banks of
the Hudson not far from where he was
captured. The place where the execu-
ton occurred is Of no Importance ex-
cept as to its connection with this his
torical event.
Mind you. I'm not going to vouch for
this story. 1t came to me from differ
ent sources. and there are certain dis
crepancies. What I'm going to tell is
what | surmised from the whole with
out Juggling in any proofs pro or con.
A certain Mrs. Meriweather of New
York city, prominent in the D. A. r..
had daughter, Abigail, the name be-
ing handed down through half a dozen
generations from Revolutionary an
cestreSs, who was an incorrigible
coquette. The mother endeavored vain
ly to persuade her daughter to marry
some one of her many suitorS. to set
tie down and behave herself. George
Van West was the only one of them
whom Abigail fancied Him she really
loved, but owing to one of those incon
sistencies Of women for which no man
can account the more she loved him
the worse she treated him. Indeed. a
certain Ambrose Constable, whom she
did not like and her mother detested.
was to all appearances her favorite.
One spring when Abigail was receiv-
ing marked attention from Constable
her mother took her to a farmhouse
In the country, hoping that by separat-
ing her from Constable the affair would
blow over. Abigail was much panied
at leaving Van Vert, but that contrary
trait in her character prevented her
from telling the truth as to her prefer
ence, and she accompanied her mother
to the farmhouse unwillingly.
Independence day that year was a
beautiful one. The air was cool, the
sky cloudless. Abigail sat on the porch
Of the farmhouse watching the country

pirate to the day were TO be held

whose appearance at once arrested Alb

eyes off him-he bowed in very court.

NEW THEATRE TO BE
 CONSTRUCTED AT ONCE

Workmen under charge of Contrac- tor Charles Crawford will start con struction soon upon the large new magnificent theatre of Capt. Austin Lathrop. the moving picture magnate, who has fine show houses at Anchor age, Seward and Cordova. The build ing will be 24x10O feet in size, steam heated and with 250 opera chairs of the latest type. The new building will be an improvement over the one re- gently destroyed by fire, embracing all the most up-to-date features, and having one of the best curtains that money can buy. The pitch to the floor will also be increased slightly over that of the old theatre. Contractor Crawford will rush construction so as to have the building ready for business before cold weather sets in. Two cites are in view, one on the Al White lots near the Pinzon, and the other on the George c. Treat lot at the corner of Mckinley street and Al aska avenue. In case the latter site is selected the building will be much larger than the Al White site with an improved store building adjoining the theatre.

FORGED TRAMP TO
 EAT POISONED BEANS

Geo. E. Montgomery contributes the following, and claims that it is vouched for by two reliable persons from that section who visited recent ly in his neighborhood:
 On a certain day in August, 1917, a farmer near Bethany, Harrison Co.,, Missouri, was threshing his grain. During the day tramp stopped at the house, and asked his wife for some food. She kindly told the tramp that she had nothing prepared to give him, but that if he would wait until meal time, he might eat with the threshing hands at the table. The tramp said he would wait. The wife was cooking a kettle of beans, and while she was absent from the kitch- en a few moments, the tramp sprink- led a powdery substance, looking like salt, in the beans. Unknown to him, the little daughter of the house saw him do SO. When she saw her mother take salt to salt the beans, she said :: Mamma, you needn't salt the beans, that man salted them"
 The woman was of course alarmed and quietly told her husband what had occurred. He told all the thresh- ing hands about the beans, and that they must remember not to eat any.
 All were seated at the we'll loaded table, tramp included, the farmer hav- ing placed a loaded gun near his chear. The beans were passed to the tramp, but he declined to eat any, saying he didn't care for beans. Short

OF GEN.
 HARDwICK SCORED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. B. Denouncing introduction of such a proposition, the senate military com- mittee today reported adversely Sem ator Hardwick's resolution which would provide that the consent of ev- cry drafted man must be obtained be- fore he is required to perform foreign service.
 The committee, the report says, be- lieves the draft law is constitutional and that every man drafted into the national army can be used abroad. The situation arising out of this spir- it of opposition to the selective draft act is serious, says the report, "and taken in connection with the unrest amongst the civilian population growing out of commercial and in- dustrial conditions, stimulated in cases doubtless by pro-German sym pathizers and propagardists. places our country in a situation of extreme peril at time when all should be united in a common cause.
 It is the view of the committee that the selective draft act is neith- CT violative of American tradition nor of the constitution and entertaining this view the committee feels justi- fled in saying that there is no neces- sity for such legislation as that pro- posed, either on the ground of ex- pediency or necessity.
 "The psychological effect of calling in question the act, the principles of
 which, it seems to the committee, have been sustained by the courts of the country, is bad and the tendency of it all is to impair the military ef- ficiency of the men who are already in the service and of those who may yet be called to serve in this time of need"
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-09-24

ly afterward, some one passed the beans to Mir. Tramp again, and when he declined the farmer arose, aimed the loaded gun ot Mir. Tramp's head, told him he must eat some of the beans, or be shot dead. The tramp, between two very hot fires, at the beans, and was dead in three min utes. How lucky that the little daughter saw him "salt" the beans!
