LAWSON ROUGHLY HANDLED.
Textile Union Organizer is Treated to
a Coat of Paint.

a Coat OF FAINT.
Yesterday The Daily Tribune pub
lished the statement that labor or
ganizer had visited Anderson, hop
ing too organize the workers in the To-
cal mills, says the Anderson Daily TIL
bune of Wednesday. He completed his
visit rather abruptly last night in a
rather precipitous manner.
II. T. Lawson, as the gentleman Is
known, came to Anderson to Go work
among the mill people to uplift the fac
tory worker, to elevate him. from, the
common degradation which he painted
to a waiting world outside of Ander-
son. His ptiful tales of short wages
and long hours, created desire to re-
verse the conditions which he claimed
existed. So his worthy brethren
among the organizers of the country
resolved TO send Brother Lawson to
our fair city to preach the gospel of
communism, socialism and every other
kind, of ism that tends to destroy our
political and social foundation. In other
words the breath of Bolshevism touch
ed the cheek of the mill people and it
burned. And being good Americans
they did not like it the least bit.
Triumphantly he viewed the reward
of his untiring efforts in the behalf OF
his fellow men," Last night he was
to visit the mill district and start the
business of organization. He was OF
the, common people, yet he rode in an
automobile. AS he left the car, bod!
of workers came to greet him. They
same to greet him all right. Seized in
a wise like grip, Mr.. Lawson felt HIM
self being hustled over to the side oi
the road near. the River street stee
bridge. The initial greeting was in
deed hearty, Stripping his clothes
from him, every bit of T. the mill peo-
pie, after whipping Lawson, painted
him from head to foot, with coat oil
the thickest and most lasting lead paint
obtainable. Only his eyes were visible
Then with q shove he was sent on ms
way and given only few hou& to get
away.
Lawson was so scared that he gave
a man by the name of Shaw a goodly
sum-$25-to carry him to Seneca III.
machine. In fact he was so frightened
be begged the man with whom nc was
roomdng to accompany him to Seneca
that he might catch a train for At
lanta.
When last seen he presented n sorry
appearance covered with paint ovei
which he was compelled to put his
clothing. Naturally it was sticky
Mr., Lawson that swung aboard the
train for Atlanta leaving all his pos
sessions behind him and likewise MS
ambitions to bring light to the Ander-
son mill workers.

FIRST PROTESTANT CHURCH
South American Church Soon to OBJ
serve its Centenary.

Christ church of Rio de Janeiro,
which soon will celebrate it's. centen-
cry, is said to have been the first
Protestant church to be built in South
America. 1t was erected to provide Il
place of worship for the English COM
munity in Rio de Janeiro. Two
restrictions were placed on the church,
the exterior was to resemble a dwell
ing house and not a temple, and no
bells were allowed. Out of this con-
cession grew the religious liberty
which exists now in Brazil
Today there are two Anglican do
ceses and forty churches in South
America. One diocese includes Argen-
tina and Brazil, with q bishopric in
Buenos Aires. the other includes the
Falkland Islahl and the west coast
countries. In addition to the Angli-
can churches, there are many other
Protestant churches scattered through
out South America.

WILLIAM CARLISLE CAPTURED.
Posse Gets Train Robber after Chase
of Three Weeks.

OF nTee WEEKS.
Douglas, Wyo., Dec. 2-William Car
Isle, the artful train robber, who for
three weeks had laughingly detied
civil, railroad and private detectives,
was captured today near Clend, Wye,
after he had been seriously wounded:
The we'll known bandit, who had Sc
cluded himself in the cabin of Frank
Williams, about IS miles from Doug
las, fought desperately the pCS"e which
had been in pursuit until he fell from
his wounds. He was shot through one
lung and while it was thought at first
that the wound might cause his death
doctors later declared it their belief
that it would not prove fatal.
Suffering from his wound, and be-
numbed by the extreme cold, Carlisle,
when brought to the Douglas hospital,
said:
Il am glad the chase has ended
Carlisle attracted nationwide in
interest when after escaping from the
penitentiary in this state he held up
and robbed the passengers on Los
Angeles limited on November IS.
A force of Union Pacific detectives,
headed by Charles Irwin, of Cheyenne,
captured the bandit. Irwin also had
aided in apprehendng Carlisle in 1915
after he had held up n Union Pacific
train near Hanna.
The Union Pacific train robber, Will
liam l.. Carlisle, who held up the pas
sengers Of the Los Angeles limited on
It's way through Wyoming on Tues
day, November is, and has since kept
sheriffs posses on the jump searching
for him, betrays q rare contradiction
in character.
Armed with revolver and facing 4
carful of passengers or twisting and
turning to elude the sheriff's posse, he
became q daring criminal. In prison.
he knitted sweaters for soldiers and
bought Liberty bonds with the money
he earned from manufacturing small
articles for sale.
His boldncss has startled and alarm
ed not only the passengers he robbed
but the authorities who have endeav-
ored to apprehend him. Even while
troops were hunting for him he enter
ed n telegraph office to send a mes
sage to the Union Pacific officials
thanking them for the contributions
he had collected from the passengers
on the last train he robbed. 1t is said
flee, asked for news about the search
of himself, read the dispatch and van
ished.
One Of his peculiarities is to an
nounce when engaged in a, holdup
that 81 am not robbins women, child
rem, old men, soldiers or sailors" but
he went through the pockets of all
other passengers without compunc-
ton.
Carlisle was sentenced to prison at
Rawlins, Wyo., on May II, 1916, after
Il spectacular career in the previous
winter, in which he robbed several
Union Pacific trains.
He was taken prisoner in April, 1916
the day after he had held up a Union
Pacific train near Hanna. Two days
later he wa; convicted.
He told lis captors. 81 am not a
killer" 1t is said that from his hiding
place in the brush he might have slain
many of his posse to which he surrcn-
dered.
So model was his conduct in prison
