OcOnCc Jail Breaker Caught.

While Deputy Sheriff B. r. Moss
and Rural Policeman J. G. Mitchell
were in attendance on the recent
session Of Federal Court in Green
Vile they accidentally ran across
one Brooks Ballard, white, who is
wanted in Oconee to answer to the
charge Of stealing. lie Is the white
man who, with two negroes, escaped
from the Oconee Jail about a month
ago.
The Oconee officers did not bring
their man back to Oconee at this
time. as when they presented him
at the jail in Greenville, it was dis
covered that he had charge laid
against him in that county as we'll
as In Oconee, and the Greenville
officers wanted first whack" at him.
lie was given a hearing before a
magistrate in Greenville and was
sent up for period Of 80 days for
stealing bicycle. lie will, there
fore, come back to Oconee about the
I'd Of November.
1T will be recalled that Ballard Is
the man who is charged with having
taken grip from train at Sem
eca, making way with it while the
owner, an ary officer. went on his
way, but not rejoicing.

1t has been suggestcd--and It is
wise and most appropriate sug-
geStiOn--that the citizens Of Wal

silent prayer for the success of the

pirate and convenient hour is sug-
gcsted as o'clock in the evening,

rest, at least not at any task that
VIII prevent stop for dcyout
petition to the Great Ruler Of the
Universe for success OF our cause and
the cause OF all humanity.
The suggestion comes as doubly
appropriate at this time. we think
in that these petitions may well in
clude a supplication for relief from,
the scourSe Of influenza that is now
gripping this country
In order that every citizen may be
reminded OF the hour, or moment
for prayer, it has been arranged So
that the electric lights will be dark
for ono minute, beginning at 9
O'Clock. This bricf period OF dark
ness is not, OF course, meant to sig
Nifty that the moment OF darkness
alone is for prayer. Il Is the sig
nal for prayer. and the giving OF
notice to all that others are send
ing up petitions for dclivcrancc from,
mcnacCs ut home and abroad.
Note the moment OF darkness, and
comply with the request that al
join in prayer for the welfare OF
our soldiers and our nation.

FRED. a. ii. SCHROEDER.
(1STU-fD1S.)

| nc courier To-Day mOurnS the
! loss by death Of a valued and highly
esteemed member OF the firm-Fred
| Schroeder.
When last week we announced the
critical illness of Mr. Schroeder we
still hoped-though the hope was
faint--that there would be a change
for the better in Mr.. Schroder's con-
dition. and that his life might yet
be spared to his family, and to us.
and to his other friends. We felt
then. however, that we were "hoping
against hope" and each hour we
dreaded to hear the news that we
feared was inevitable.
On Friday, October ith, sir Schro-
der. on arriving at The Courier
office, announced in casual way
that he was not feeling as well as
usual, but he went to work. at noon
saying that he felt worse. but he
! thought he could finish out the day
at his accustomed work. At four
o'clock in the afternoon he arose
| ''"hi Wv iiiolyPo dIIduS-
ing all parts about 1t as for another
days work, and announced that he
| had been suffering for while with
severe pain across his body from
the right shoulder, ranging down
ward, and could stand it no longer
while at work. AS he left the Office
his simple announcement was that
Il hope III be able TO be on hand in
the morning."
That was his last presence in the
place OF business that for years had
seldom missed his daily crossing OF
its threshold. When next we saw
him he was PROSTATE and uncon-
scious, surrounded by his loved ones
in the home, who sorrowfully await
cd the end. Wednesday night last
live days after he had been taken i'll
at 100 O'Clock, he breathcd his
last. He had been stricken down
with severe attack OF pneumonia.
and his condition was aggravated
by complication with Bright's dis
ease. which, though ii was not known
or suspected that he had il. so un-
dermincd his constitution that he
Was unable to rally from the at
tack OF pneumonia.
Fritz Anderson Henry Schroeder
was born on his parents farm near
Walhalla on January 2Sth, 1876. lie
was Il son OF II. B. J. w. and Eliza
beth GIcster) Schroeder. the latter
still living. When the subject OF
this sketch was quite q small boy his
parents moved to Walhalla in order
TO give their son the advantages that
the town afforded in school facili-
ties. lie attended the various schools
for boys here until about fifteen
years Of age. when he entered the
office Of The keowec Courier, and
here he completed an apprentice
ship OF almost four years. When
The had finished his apprenticeship
he went to Hampton, s. c., where
he engaged in the publication of the
Hampton County Guardian, then
owned and edited by the late Miles
B. McSweeney, who was later elect
ed to the Governorship Of this State
After about two years in the lower
part Of the State, feeling the i'll
effects Of the climate there, Mr..
Schroeder resigned his position with
the Hampton Guardian and returned
to Walhalla. taking position on The
