Still Captured Sunday:

Late last week Rural Policeman
w. l.. Altman scented still over
near Andrews, and searching a little'
found it located on the place of w. D.
Crooks on the Gapway road, about
six miles from the town Of Andrews.
Mr.. Altman did not care to 60 after
the booze-mill single-handed, so wired
for Chief Constable Eichelberger'
who came to his assistance, and on
Sunday morning the big 40-gallon'
capacity-copper still, along with about
rs gallons of mash, was captured and
destroyed. The plant is said to have
belonged to a man in Andrews.
This is the fifth still captured by
Mr.. Altman and several wineries
since he has been on the rural police
force. It is quite evident that he is
strictly on the job.

CATCH McILWAIN
AFTER LONG HUNT
Wanted on Charge of Killing Ernest
M. Watkins in Novem-
her, 1915.

Lancaster, Sept. 8.-John Mclwain,
a negro, who, it is alleged, shot and
killed Ernest M. Watkins, general
manager of the Lancaster Cotton Oil
Company, November 6, 1915, was cap
tured in Detroit, Mich, Monday at
the instiSation of Sheriff John p.
Hunter, after a chase of four years,
and he will be brought to Lancaster
for trial as soon as axtradition can be
arranged.
Sheriff Hunter received a telegram
TODAY from James E. McCart, deputy
chief of dectives, Detroit, stating that
Thurlow Robinson, alias John Mcu-
vain, was under aren't in the Micfd-
gan city and was being held for tine
authorities of this county. The tele-
gram stated that Mcnwain had con-
fided in a friend that he was wanted
in Lancaster county on a charge OF
murder.
Sheriff Hunter has applied for red
uisition papers and will 60 in person
to Detroit to bring the prisoner back.
Mr.. Watkins, who was originally
from Anderson and prominently con-
nected throughout the State, was shot
to death in the engine room OF the
mill November 6, after a few words
with the man. 1t was said to have
been a very brutal murder.
McIlwain made his escape, but a
few days after the crime he was ar
rested in Chesterfield county and,
while in the custody of rural Off
Ger and handcuffed, he escaped. Sher-
iff Hunter kept on the fugitive's trail
and he was next apprehended at Fred
eric City, Nd, where an officer again
let him slip. Following up clues the
sheriff traced him to Detroit and
there had been much correspondence
with officials there, finally culminat-
ing in his arrest.
There is a reward of 5000 outstand-
for McIlwain's arrest, $100 being Of
fered by the governor and s1OO by
the sheriff of Lancaster county.
The negro stated to officers in De-
troit that he will not waive requisi-
ton and Sheriff Hunter will 60 there
prepared to bring him back.

HUNDREDS DEAD,
MANY INJURED
EARTHQUAKE WRECKED TOWNS
AND VILLAGES IN ITALY
YESTERDAY

Rome, Sept. 8.-Italy is again suf-
fering from an earthquake disaster,
the extent of which has not yet been
matured. 1t is known, however, that
hundreds of people have been killed
and thousands injured. Many small
towns and villages have been wrecked
and, although assistance is being hur-
ried from all parts Of the, country to
the afflicted area, there is much suf-
fering for want of food, medicines
and shelter for the people.
It is not possible to calculate how
many hundreds are deadEthe list up
to this evening shows close to 400 al
ready reported. There are many b.d-
les under the ruins and it is believed
there are many thousands injurd.
Survivors describe the shock as ter
rifying. The air was filled with chok-
ing, binding dust so black that the
sun was lost to view.
"It seemed like the end of he
world" terrified peasants say.
The great towers of medieval cas-
ties were shaken, partially destroyed,
or seem tottering to fall. The Du-
cal Palace at Massa Cara 4, which
was the summer residenc of Napol-
cons sister, was seriously damaged

Gasoline Station Burned.

About 2 o'clock Monday morning
the alarm of fire was given and when
the people over town got up, rubbed
their eyes and ventured forth, they
found that the Kingstree Automobile
Service Station on Main street, east
e 1pf the railroad crossing, was on fire.
The building was made of wood and
heet metal and put into service a
lew months ago. It was owned by
Mr. w. I. Nexsen and operated by
two young men as a service station
for automobiles, dispensing gasoline,
oil, water and air. In short time
the place won a splendid patronage.
The gasoline tanks being under
ground, the gas was not ignited. The
building is total loss. Origin of the
fire is, unknown.

Automobiles and Cruelty.

Changes come about in queer ways.
The inventors Of the automobile
have done more than any other agency
TO stop cruelty to animals.
No doubt here are many persons
who would go so far as w assert that
the automobile has justified itself or
the sole ground of practically elimi-
mating the horse as beast OF bur-
den. Not tnat the horse is already a
past number, but it is becoming so.
The relationship between man and
a horse is one of feeling; the rela-
tionship between a man and an auto
mobile is one of thinking.
When a driver gets mad at a horse
he Jerks the bit and applies the whip.
When a driver gets mad at an auto
mobile his friends laugh at him.
Because Of this fact the automobile
is doing its part to raise human stand
ards, and to develop human charac-
ter.
Beating a dumb beast hurts the
man more than the animal. Men
have been less brutal since slavery
was abolished; they will be still less
brutal when the workhorse Is retired
to the pasture.
A man who is in the habit Of feat'
ing horses finds it easy to beat wom-
IN and children.
Anysne who drives an automobile
forms the habit of thinking about his
troubles instead of feeling about
them.
If his engine knows he doesn't kick
it or beat it; he looks at the spark
plugs and the commutator. In doing
this he learns to control his feelings
and to look for causes.
It isn't necessary to arrest men for
failure to put blankets around their
automobile radiators in mid-winter-
even the automobiles that used to be
parked in front of saloons were al
ways nicely blanketed, while horses
used to stand at hitching posts for
hours in zero weather with no pro-
lection.
The automobile is just one manifes-
tation of how all progress is inter-
locked. The efficient thing is always
the humane thi.'g.

TRUCKERS ORGANIZE
Pee Dee Truckers Association Formed
at Florence Yesterday.

Florence, Sept. 8. (SpeciaD-Look-
ing to the betterment of the trucking
industry of this section, the Pee Dee
Truckers Association was formed
here yesterday afternoon at conven-
ton Of leading truckers of this terri
tory. Officers were elected as fol-
lows:
President, Clyde G. Brown, of Flor
ence, director of the Chamber of Com
merce and one of the leading farmers
of this section; Secretary, Walter ].
Johnson, of Florence, secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce; Executive
Cimmittee, Florence county, Charles
F. Duhrs, of Florence; Sumter county,
Frank Williams, of Sumter; Marlboro
county, T. G. Covington, of Clio; Dill
lon county, John J. Allen, of Latta;
Clarendon county, ]. E. Davis, Of
Manning; Horny county, J..E. Bryan,
of Myrtle Beach; Georgetown, 6. A.
DeKay, of Georgetown; Williamsburg
county, ]. L. Thomas, of Cades.
Immediately after the meeting,
Lloyd S. Tenny, of the North Ameri-
can Fruit Exchange who addressed
the convention, announced that he
was so favorably impressed with the
outlook for the movement and its
possibilities, that he had rather defi-
nitely determined that his associa-
toin would open a southern office in
Florence, and arrange to establish
such agencies in this territory as
would be capable of handling any
business the North American might
procure here.
While this office is not fully assur-
red yet, Mr.. Tenny's announcement
is regarded by those who are most
vigorously backing the truckers asso-
citation as great encouragement to-
wards putting the new organization
into successful activity.
This organization will operate, for
the first year or till it proves its sue
cess, upon the three primary princi-
pies which confront every such or
ganization. These are:
First-to find out in season what
crops are being grown for market,
where they are, what are their guam
tity, and who has them, thus effect
ing a thorough survey Of the re-
sources of this section according TO-
crop season
Secopd-to select cooperative ship
ping dates so as to create such vol
ums of each particular crop as will
attract buyers into this territory.
Third-to introduce standardized
packs, grades ahd quality stuff, with
proper handling to insure the buyer
of good stuff; this eliminating the
factors of ungraded stuff, poor pack,
low quality, and injurious handling
which operate to the mutual handicap
of both the producer and the distrib-
utoy.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Florence Chamber OF
Commerce, agricultural department,
and the Florence County Agricultural
Society, at the Pee Dee fair grounds.
The society members served dinner
on the grounds
The Agricultural society held its
annual meeting at that time, discus
sing chiefly the various phases OF the
cotton industry now. D. M. McEacn-
ern reported on the southern states
convention of cotton people at Mont
pomery; J. Ward McLendon, county
agent, spoke relative to the boil Wee
vii: and there were other interesting
addresses and discussions.
