EUGENE DAVIS SHOT
AND KILLED BY NEGRO
Promising Young Farmer Who Lived
a Few Miles Of Clinton Shot Three
Times in the Chest and Once in
the Back by a Negro Farm
Hand.

LaurenS Herald.
One of the most deplorable homi-
cides that ever occurred in Laurens
county was committed within a few
miles of Clinton early yesterday morn
ing when Eugene Davis was shot four
times and almost instantly killed by
negro, Ralph Blakeley, usually known
by the name of Ell Blakeley. The
shooting occurred between the homes
of the two men and was evidently the
! result of disagreement as to where
the negro should work.
Chief Mason of Clinton notified
the Sheriff's Office shortly after the
killing and several from Laurens
went down to offer their services IN
the chase of the negro who fed inn
mediately after he committed the
murder. Sheriff Reid, Deputy Owings
and other officers went to the scene
and all diligence was used to capture
the fugitive.
Yesterday afternoon The Herald
got in communication with Mr.. ".
W. Harris of the Chronicle Office at
Clinton and he said at that time about
three o'clock, that the people had
taken all precautions to prevent the
escape Of the negro and were waiting
for blood hounds from Columbia.
While the conversation was on Mr..
Harris saw the Columbia train rolling
in and it was expected that the chase
would begin in few minutes. At
that time there were some 800
citizens standing guard and waiting
for the dogs and the feeling was
strong for a lynching in case the
negro is captured.
Eugene Davis was 80 odd years old
and was remarkably quiet and in
offensive and the general talk is that
he was not the man that would cause
such trouble as this. He lived on a
farm a few miles from Clinton with
his stepmother. He is the youngest
son of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
c.. Davis and is survived by his
brothers, Jno. D., Geo. NJ. and DR.. }.
w. Davis of Clinton and Robt. W.
Davis who was once connected with
the old National Bank in Laurens and
who now lives in Fountain Inn.
Mr.. Harris stated yesterday that
the negro had lived with Mr.. Davis II
years and that this year he wanted
to change farms and work at another
place for Mr.. Davis who was unwill-
ing for him to do so. Yesterday
morning Mr. Davis insisted that he 60
to work where he had been told but
the negro refused and becoming en-
ragged drew his pistol and shot MIR.
Davis three times in the chest. Mr..
Davis turned to go back to his house,
whereupon the negro fired another
shot into his back, severing a blood
vessel which caused his death within
25 steps of his home. The negro's
wife went up to the Davis home and
told about the shooting and about this
time the negro was seen to leave his
home and after walking a short dis
tance began to run across cotton
patch.

Negro's Body Found.

After above was put in type infor-

Out in Montana in two little mining

about thirty of the most enthusiastic

at Camp Rotary, tucked away in the
most delightful spot in the Little Belt

Y. w. c. A. Has Work
For Girls in TOlUn

New York. Jan 230.-People who
live inthe rush and hurry of cities
find it a puzzle to know just what it
is that causes others to give up a
happy life out of doors for the crowd
ed subways, the throngs on the street
and in the stores. Two factory girls
who went to St Paul from their coun-
try homes in Minnesota expressed just
what the difference was when they
said 1--WE like the shows, things to
do and places to go to-"
And the Young Women's Christian
Association, which always consults
the minds and thoughts of the girls
themselves before making any plans
for them, used this statement to build
up just the kind of program that
would most appeal to girls who live in
the country or in small towns.
Good, live girls can have altogether
too much peace and quiet, and the
Y. w. C. A., realizing this, has map
ped out long lists of the most inter
esting things to do, which are keep
ing girls happy and busy from Maine
to Washington.
Plays and pageants are coming to
take their place in the sun. There
are few girls who don't like an i'm
portant part in a play and fewer still
who can resist the fun of planning
costumes, scenery and all the little
details which go to help in the pro-
duction of a drama to be seen by
their parents and their friends.
In one county in Iowa there is a
club of 25 girls, bubbling with life and
energy. II there is anything that
these girls like to do that very thing
is done some time during the club
year. At their meetings they play
games, have discussions, on girls
problems, talks and nature study.
Then they have picnics and ice
cream socials. and last summer gave
one delightful lawn party, to which
the boys came.

While wit, London ! became i'm
bued with spirit l had never be-
fore known even in my adventurous
career-a spirit that bordered on
lust for association with Cannibal
tribes which infest the islands OF the
South Seas, particularly i'll the New
Hebrides group. Outside OF the
traders who either had been swept
ashore in storms or who unwittingly
thrust themselves into the hands OF
the Cannibals and had been eaten
,livc, as is the wont OF these natives,
no white man had ever visited the
interior of the New Hebrides
islands.
Much as Jack London desired to
venture into this bush country, he
never had an opportunity. At the
time of his death he was planning
to make another cruise into the
South Seas. Being probably the
closest man to London on any of his
famed exploits | considered it my
. duty to continue his explorations
but not being endowed with the
wizardy of writing that was Lon
don's, decided to make my record
of these strange people pictorially.
Therefore it was with as fne an out
fit Of cinema machinery that could
be obtained started on what
tlrned out to be the most treacher-
cus journey of my life.
There was one person who saw
that my life would be at stake III
entering the interior of the New
Hebrides Islands. She was Mrs.
Johnson, who | must record here
has proved the bravest woman and
the best p ever knew. She
baked and absolutely forbid my go
ing, but when | informed her |
would not remain home under any
circumstances she merely packed
her trunk and let me in on the fact
that she was going with me-and
she did.
through the perilous months I
spent amongst the naked, uncivil-
ed, treachcrous cannibals she was
ever at my side. When in the
course of our experiences | saw her
seized by a Cannibal, Chief Naga
pate, and found myself a prisoner
and virtually my entire parapher
MALTA ruined by the natives of Male
kt''l, the darkest and most malig
nant island in the New Hcbrides
group, any man can realize how
felt by placing himself mentally III
the same situation.
Death faced US both, but the prov
idential intervention of British
man-o-war which patrols the ter
ritory at regular intervals saved Us
from the cruelest fate human could
meet-death by boiling. We have
plenty of evidence, and have it re-

THE DISCUSSION

Will Women Vote for Good ROADS!
Jacksonville and several other Flor
.da cities are keeping their books open
fer registration every day in the week.
in order that every woman may nave
an opportunity to register. This Is
considered necessary if women are TO
be fully registered in time for the NO
yember election. How much more
necessary, then, that the registration
books be kept open every day OF the
week in Escambia county, If the wo-
men are to qualify in time to cast thei'
vote for good roads for Escambia
county. That the women of Escambia
will vote for good roads, is the opinion
being based on the fact that the de-
yelopment of roads, schools and the
rural communities are so closely link
ed. The women vote of Escambia
county is an intelligent vote, for not
only in Pensacola but throughout the
rural districts women are well &C.
quainted with public affairs.
No county in the state boasts
greater number of women's clubs than
does Escambia, the Parent-Teachers
Associations, which are almost en-
tirely composed of women being par
ticularily strong organizations.
These women keep well abreast. OF
the times. That they intend to vote is
evidenced by the response they have
made to the obligation of the ballot,
in promptly registering, and that they
will cast their votes for the things
that count, no one can doubt, who is
at all acquainted with the work of the
women in this county in the past.
At all times they have stood for
progress. but particularly during the
war did they show an ability and de-
votion that made the record of Escam.
bia one of the best in the entire Unit
ed States. The women made record
in Red Cross work, which was official
ly recognized, in war savings drives
they led the entire state, and an Off
cial of the Federal Reserve district
publicity stated that Pensacola had
made the best Liberty Loan record
in this district. The womens division
of the Liberty Loan Committee was
responsible for at least fifty per cent
of the success of those drives.
1t has been said that if women were
given the ballot, they would take an
active and intelligent part in city
municipal and county affairs. Now
the opportunity has come to prove this
claim. In a few days the women will
be called upon to cast their ballots
for or against the twenty million dol
vote may carry or defeat this bond
issue. 1t is the most important meas
ure which has come before the people
for many decade. And it is believed
that the women will realize it's impor-
lance and will vote for the bonds.
Every woman in the county should
register at once. in order that she may
be qualified to vote in the coming cleo
ton, which is only two weeks distant.
