NO PLACE TO DIE
Relatives Of Abbeville County Ne.
gro Wouldn't Care For Him
And He Was Denied Ad-
mittance At The Aims
house

Greenwood, Oct. 6.-According to
evidence brought out at the inquest
over Jessie Robinson, the aged ne
gro, who was found dead on the
John Maxwell place, few miles
from here, early Friday morning,
the negro was hauled in helpless
condition for at least 60 miles in
wagon lying on pair of springs,
covered with a quilt before he fin
ally died, after being refused ad-
mittance at the county farm and the
home of his step daughter, Matilda
Drayton. The inquest was continued
until this afternoon at o'clock.
Robinson who had been living
nearly two years with a negro
named Gaines Wideman on the place
of R. R. Tolbert, Jr., in Abbeville
county became i'll and helpless and
it seems that Wideman grew tired
of the burden of keeping him. Last
Sunday he brought him to Super
visor A. ]. Bell, with the request
that he be placed on the county
farm. Being an Abbeville county ne
gro, this was refused and he was
told to go to the Abbeville county
farm. Thursday Gaines Wideman
again bHeaght Robinson from his
home in Abbev;lle county, and this
time carried him direct to the coun-
ty farm, but was refused admittance
there. In a final effort to get rid of
the burdensome negro, Wideman
carried him to Matilda Drayton, his
step daughters home, on the John
Maxwell place, but found only a
small child at home, the others
having gone to the circus. He is al
legged to have said that he was going
to leave him in the yard if he could
not get rid of him in any other way,
but was allowed by the child to put
him inside the house.
AS soon as Matilda Drayton re-
turned from Greenwood and found
the old man she called her son Rob-
ert and a negro named Vance Smith
and had them hitch up a wagon and
haul Robinson back to Gaines Wide
man. When they got there about
,welve o'clock Thursday night Wide
| man is said to have come out with a
gun and in a threatening tone or
iered them to take Robinson back.
Fearing violence at his hands, Rob-
inson was again hauled back to Ma
tilda Drayton's house but was found
to be dead when he arrived about 8
o'clock Friday morning. Coroner P.
T. Faulkner was notified and the
body brought to W. V. Blythe's un-
dertaking establishment where an
inquest was held yesterday after
noon. DR.. J. L. Marshall testified
that Robinson died from natural
causes probably acute dilation of
the heart brought on by the exertion
of the long ride. A continued hear
ing of the inquest has been ordered
for this afternoon. In all the old ne
gro was hauled over 60 miles.

Party Harmony

Why is it that a certain marty of
Republicans insist upon a fight? 1t
seems mighty funny mat would
To Be" Republican leader goes into
our nine Counties on the Eastern
Shore, and after failing in the at
tempt to get someone to run against
our own Congressman VIM. n. An
drews, he comes back here, the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S own beloved county and
gets a man from his own town, to
nun against Mr.. Andrews, upsetting
the harmony in the Republican par
ty that we Republicans have tried to
have for so long.
If it were for the good of the par
ty it would be different, but it is not
it is only done to crafty one or two
mems own personal desire, for they
fear that someone else may upset
some of their plans and have little
to say about things, in the future.
Are we going to sit idly by and see
a Primary fight every year that is
not at all necessary and what the
majority of us don't want? The
Democrats agree for the sake OF
harmony why not We? Isn't 1t
customary thing for Congressman
to be nominated for second term,
(for their first Term is only for two
years., without being opposed by
one in their own party? y
Mr.. Andrews has always done the
best in his power for the people, and
has done much to uplift the Repub-
lican party. 1t is unbelievable that
after failing everywhere else to Sc
cure a Candidate against him, that
they come back to his own county to
secure a man to run against him,
thus upsetting the harmony that all
good Republicans wanted.

Lest We Forget

Our business world today is con-
fronted with some old words and
phases whose meanings are easily
forgotten. We reproduce some OF
them together with their meanings
so that we can be assured that we
have not lost their significance, and
that by refreshing our minds we may
help improve the conditions for
which they stand.
The ECONOMIC PROBLEM is an
effort omake things that are scarce
go as far and accomplish as much as
possible.
PRODUCTION is the creation of a
utility-a utility is the power 10 sat
isfy a want or crafty desire.
Three important productive forces
are Land Labor and Capital. Land
is raw material and natural resource
LABOR is the human factor i'll pro
duction, not the narrow use of the
man with the shovel" CAPITAL is
wealth other than land used to get
an income, rather than for direct
enjoyment Capital is made up of
all grades, tools, equipment, etc, ex-
cept Land. A CAPITALIST is buy
er of tools and contrivances. The
fundamental problem of scientific
MANAGEMENT is the balancing of the
factors of production, the mixing of
the right amount of Land, Labor and
Capital. The Law of SUPPLY and
DEMAND is, Value varies directly
with Demand and inversely with Sup
ply. SUPPLY is the amount of, a
thing offered for sale, while De
MAND is desire plus ability to pay

Rheumatism And Plenty 10
Read

An old man who lives on the out
skirts of a New England village was
snow-bound for twenty-five days by
the recent heavy storms. He had
food and fuel, and when rescurers
finally broke road to his house anc
dug him out they fourn him well and
cheerful. TO ne of them who ven
tured to sympathize with him for his
long isolation the old man remarked,
IT had rheumatism and plenty to
read. SO WASH t lonesome. ~ 90
The remark is worth thinking
about. In the first place, no one
expect a person with sense OF num-
or could have made it, having
sense of humor IS safeguard against
all except the most serious Affections.
1t we do not take ourselves too ser

iously the little annoyances that as
sail US and arr therefore the freer
to enjoy such pleasures as are left.
Then, rheumatism, although "a
strict jailer, is not always crue!
one. If only we observe the rules
that it lays down and the boundaries
that it fixes, it leaves US free to. do
pretty much as we please within
those boundaries condition that IS
admirably adapted to encourage gooo
reading. We do not know, of course
what reading the old gentleman had,
but since he was shut away from his
fellows for nearly month 1t couio
not have been the daily papers, and
so he was spared "a. mass or trlVlal-
ties that might have won his NOM
entary attention but that he would
have socn forgotten. All of us would
be the better for an occasional 'ex-
perience of that kind. One of the
most useful lessons tie DE learned
from a week or two in the woods be-
You'd the boundaries of civilization

up, on your return with all the news
that is worth knowing.
We hope the old gentleman nag
real books TO read-so5ne that sound
the depths of human passion andNaX-
perience, and others in which the
breath of humor aud fancy st1rs the
surface into ripping smiles. We
believe that he did have both kinds.
and, on the whole, we envy him.

therefore dependent on good be-
hayior. Most CT us need something
of the kind now and then.

lnaamed Tonsils

Inflammation of the tonsil occurs
in several forms some mild and
SOME severe. There are chronic ton
sillitis and two forms of acute ton
silitis-a simple form that is import
ant only because it may be mistaken
for diphtheria, and severe suppur-
ating form of great severity that is
often called quinsy.
In the simple form of acute ton
sillitis the tonsils are red and sWol-
Ter and the su face is studded with
whitfsh patches. AT the beginning
there is more or less fever, the thu oat
is sore, and the patient feels sick and
is Frustrated out CT all proportion to

patient is left very weak, he rapidly

by the end of week from the onset
of the attack he is usually as well as

form of tonsillitis is the superficial
resemblance that St bears to d1ph-
iberia. or rather the danger that
diphtheria may actually be present
and be mistaken for simple tonsils
