Escaped German Quickly Caught.

Greenville, July 27.-G. Hahn,
one of the German prisoners at
Camp Sewer, who made his escape
from the stockade iast night, was
captured this afternoon at Easley
and brought back to camp.
The prisoner made his getaway
while some changes we're being
made in the arrangement Of the
kitchen at the stockade. His escape
was undetected for several minutes.
A general alarm was given, and
throughout the entire night soldiers
Of all organizations were securing
the surrounding territory for the
missing man. When apprehended at
Easley the man put up no resistance.
On his person were found razors,
hacksaws and other instruments.
W.S.S. Certificate rs Reward.
Greenville, July 2S.-Desiring to
recognize and reward in suitable
way the wide-awake patriotism OF
Nesbitt Sullivan, the Easley lad
whose keen wits enabled him to de-
tect and lead tG the arrest OF the
German prisoner who escaped
Thursday night from the stockade
at Camp Sewer and who was cap
tnred the following day in Easley,
patriotic business men Of Greenville
are creating a fund to buy the young
Pickens county patriot 500 war
savings stamp certificate. More
than half Of the required amount
had been subscribed up to last
night, and the rest, it is expected,
will be forthcoming in day or so.
Young Sullivan was selling news
papers in Easley and a foreign
looking man who was walking along
the street, purchased one and told
the boy he could Keep the change,
handing him a dirle. The unusual
act drew the boys attention to the
stranger and looking him over, he
came to the conclusion that the man
was the escaped German. The boy
was familiar with the description
given Of the German IN the morning
newspaper articles, and noting that
the stranger filled the bill, immedi
ately went to the representatives of
the law In Easley and advanced his
theory. The officers Immediately
went out and apprehended the stran-
ger while he was still standing in the
street reading the newspaper. They
communicated with Camp Sewer,
and In short while military officers
arrived and identified him as the es-
capped German.

more representative than an indivi-
dual concern. He said that while they
had ample funds to bring the goods
and fixtures to Phoenix and set every
thing to work in fine shape, they want
ed the endorsement of the citizens
here. His idea was to let every col
ored person who wanted to have an
interest in the store, buy as many
shares of stock as he could afford
Mr.. Daniels called on the audience
to take up the discussion and make
known the views and sentiments of
each individual. Mr. j. Henderson was
the first to speak and he was in full
accord with the movement So were
others who spoke. Among the speak
ers who enthusiastically endorsed the
project were-Dr. w. G. Hackett, Mr.
Allen Smith, Mr. Samuel Hardwick
Mrs Ada Jones, Mrs. Turner and
others. Everybody seemed to realize

the need of a first class drug store and
soda fountain for our people and pledg-
ed their whole-hearted support.
Another proposition was unearthed
at this meeting which causes the CO.
operative drug store to be held in
allegiance for the present at least.
However, we are going to have col
ored drug store here in Phoenix by
January 1, 1919 The man behind the
other proposition has a $1,000 stock
of goods, fixtures and the building all
ready to open as soon as he can Sc

assured of drug store in the very
near future; possibly by Thanksgiv-
ing, but certainly not later than Janu-
airy, 1919
We feel that the meeting was pro-

light this gigantic enterprise that has
been shrouded in darkness and en-
veloped in secrecy. Can any good come
out of Phoenix? Come and see.

Enthusiastic Citizens Warmly Endorse
Cooperative Race Enterprise

Sunday afternoon a smaal, but rep
resentative body of colored citizens
met at Smiths hall, 21 East Madison
street for the purpose of listening to
Messrs. Daniels, Carter and Williams
discuss plans for the establishment of
a cooperative drug store in Phoenix
Mr. S. L. Daniels acted as chairman
of the meeting and introduced the
speakers. Mr.. Jasper B. Williams of
FL Paso, Texas, was the first speaker.
He told in clear concise manner the
object of his visit to this city and the
inducements which had prompted him
to make the visit. He said that col
ored people in Texas are going West
and North They are leaving the
Southland for more congenial atmo-
sphere. Mr.. Williams said that he
didn't want to leave with them, but
wanted to come out ahead of them so
that when they reached Phoenix, Ari-
zona, they would find him here and
in business. The speaker stated that
he was the proprietor and owner of a
first class drug store in Ell Paso and
enjoyed splendid patronage from the
Mexican, colored and white people. His
main object in wanting to locate here
was to broaden his field and give
himself more room to grow.

Professor Miller, 'for our people liv-

prosperity than. the city Negro. 1t is
now common sight to see colored
farmers driving their own automo-

Professor Miller was of the opinion
that the Northwest offers great indus

SMITH EXPLAINS

TO the Colored Citizens Of Phoenix;
l want to say that there has been a
lot of talk about my opening up a col
ored drug store here in Phoenix and
about my opening up surprise on
last Sunday at Smiths Hall. The talk
is seemingly made by those who think
some white drug store man paid me
to do this. There is lot of other talk
also that is going around and does not
amount to anything.
Now, l have Deen working en- this
drugstore proposition for four months
or more. 1t started from an amuse-
ment park that | was about to open
up last spring. / abandoned this prop
osition for the reason that the war
was taking away so many, and l de-
cided to change it to a drug store.
went to work in still way, and tried
to work out a plan to have a drug
store run by colored people, in col
ored mans name and owned by col
ored man.
Now, after four or five months
study and work, l decided upon a plan
to give the colored people of Phoenix
first-class drug store. But since the
citizens have found it out, they seem
dissatisfied with the idea of my open
ing up a drug store here Why
shouldn't I be privileged to put up a
Phoenix, have lived here six years,
own property, and am a taxpayer.
You say | have no right, and you
would rather see a stranger come in
here and sell you stock in a drug
store and separate you from your
money
You seem to doubt my statement
about having a $1,000 stock of goods
to put in a drug store To these
doubling Thomases l want to say, if
you will put up $1,000, will turn the
stock over to you. Now. if you want
to go in on this proposition to form a
stock company, | am ready to turn
over the $1,000 stock of goods and
equipment that I have here in Phoe-
nix. l can back up every word say.
am glad that l have found out how
you are about man of your race who
has lived six years in the city and is

ing up such business for the colored

GOOD FOR ERWIN

We heard it intimated by not
so few turnout the county before
Attorney Ervin's election to the
office of county attorney that
they were little skeptical as to
his stand on the liquor question:;
but it has proven otherwise as
his record is good one. Mr..
Erwin has shown that he has
lots of backbone and has gone
right after the law-breakers in a
way that has made people sit up
and take notice and respect the
gentleman from Sandstone. We
clip the following from the Pine
County Courier:
Tn reviewing the county cases
this year, Co. Atty. Erwin an
nounces that there has been Is
arrests for violations Of the IL
quor laws. Of these q resulted
in convictions, two are still pend
ing and one acquittal. Seven Of
these were second offenses and
each secured Jail sentence, 3
were for 60 days and 4 for 80
days. No fine for less than 500
was imposed and ST 800 was re-
ceived in this way. There were
also 3 arrests for felonies, two
are now serving time and one is
granted a new trial. This is in
deed a good record"
