Chief of the Reds
Has Escaped Cossacks

Moscow. Feb. 15.--Ehsanulla, tn,
chief of the red revolutionary move
ment Of Persia, who last June made
a daring raid that all but succeeded
in capturing Teheran, has escaped
the Shah's Cossatks and is now here
"The peoples struggle against the
Shah and the feudal landlords has
failed. There1l be no more" he said
His comrade leaders in the reyolu.
ton We're killed.
Ehsanulla is rated the most pic
turesque figure of all the bandit and
revolutionary leaders of the Middle
East.
Educated and daring, for 16 years
he has fought the established order
in Persia. His long hair and shaggy
beard are known to thousands of Per-
sian peasants.
He is known as the Kark Marx of
Persia. but in many ways resembles
Makno, the peasant leader of South
Russia. He has never been captured
though he has taken part in every
armed struggle of Persia since
1905. He might now have been mas
ter of Teheran and of Persia but for
quarrels between two of his asso-
ciate leaders, Kutchik and Haidar.
With a peasant army strengthened
by Russian Communists, he struck
from Rescht to Teheran, while many
of the Shah's $4,000 troops were put
ting down risings at Tabriz and at
Horoshan, and was within 35 miles
of Teheran when betrayal in his
own ranks gave news of his here
abouts and forced his retreat.
"After the Anglo-Russia treaty, by
which both nations agreed to leave
Persia alone" said Ehsanella, 81
realized that the Sayyid Zia-u-Din
government was reversion to the
old, corrupt law of the feudalists
each of whom is sort Of little Shah,
and that the rule of the combined
peasantry and educated class would
go under, perhaps forever, unless l
made last desperate effort.
$50 I got together few thousand
peasant soldiery and by secret paths
and rapid marching tried to reach
Teheran. The Cossacks of the Shah
began to attack me and the Russian
Communists with me lost heart. i
fought until I was surrounded and
then ertreated.
"An Englishman no longer dares
to go into North Persia, but this is
not much satisfaction for me since
they will again control in Teheran.
My pity is for the poor peasants. /
built schools and hospitals for them.
There need be no fear that Per-
sia will join the Pan-Islamic union
projected by Enver Pasha. The Is
lamic religion has ruined the Orient
and we have no desire to form a
union that would again place US in
subjection to the Turks"

Enrolment Figures For
State Show Big Gain

The total enrolment for South
Carolina, as received from the dl1er-
ent counties by H. N. Edmunds, Sec
retary of the state Democratic execu-
tive committee, is 226,5S1.
Secretary Edmunds has not yet to-
tailed the figures himself and there
may be slight change, but the total
is very nearly correct. This gives an
increase over the 1920 enrolment of
74.546 as the total then was 152 ,O35.
Women are believed to number at
least this increase and possibly more
and the indications are that over
$4,000 women will participate in the
primary this year for the first time.
Oconee county is the only county
in the state showing a decreased en-
rollment from 1920, according to the
figures received by Mr.. Edmunds. In
1920 this county enrolled 4,191 vot-
ers and this year only $3.50 have
been enrolled.
Greenville leads the state with 49,
131 with Spartanburg second with
14.7S7. Charleston is third with 12,-
S41.
The enrolment by counties this
wear and in 1920 is as follows:

Seaboard Wreck
Kills Engineer

Seaboard train No. 2, operating
between Jacksonville and Washing
ton, jumped the track at Dixiana,
near Columbia, Sunday morning, as
a result of which the engineer, John
w. Preacher, of Savannah, was kill
ed by scalding, and the fireman was
badly injured.
The Seaboard traffic between Den
mark and Columbia was blocked
until Monday when train service was
resumed over this line, the wreck
being sufficiently cleared away to al
low passage of trains. During this
period trains were detoured to Den
mark over the Southern railway.
An accumulation of sand at the
public road crossing is said to have
been responsible for the wreck. The
engine jumped the track, followed
by the express car and the combina-
ton negro and baggage car. Two
other persons were injured besides
the engineer being killed and the fire,
man injured, neither of which is said
to be fatal.
Engineer Preacher was buried al
Fairfax Tuesday, the Ku Klux Klan
officiating at the funeral.

Charged
to Ralph Brou)n

T. l.. Bettison, an aged resident OF
Beaufort, was killed Tuesday of last
week, and the coroner's jury investi-
eating the homicide charges Ralph
Brown with the killing. Mr.. Brown
is young man, the son of Barney
Brown, a brother of Mrs. G.. w. Gar
land, of this city. The young man is
we'll known to many relatives and
friends in Bamberg.
Very meager reports Of the affair
have reached Bamberg. According to
the news stories of the homicide pub
1ished in the daily papers, Betterson
was killed while sitting in chair.
The first report was that he was kill
ed by blow on the head, while an
other report indicated that this may
have been in error 1t is alleged that
the two men had words on the morn
ing of the same day, and that Brown
knocked him down then.
Young Brown was taken into Gus
tody by the sheriff, but because OF
the failure of the sheriff to put him
Immediately in jail, there has been a
considerable stir-up in Beaufort, re-
sulting in a mass meeting, presided
over by Senator Niels Christensen, al
which strong resolutions were passed
demanding that charges be brought
against the sheriff, and other resolu'
tions calling on the city commission
ers to resign for alleged leniency to-
ward Brown for other alleged affairs
in Beaufort.
Jefferson was an old man without
relatives in Beaufort, it is said. He
has a brother in Allendale. The sher'
iff has denied that he has flagrantly
defed the law, stating that Browns
wife was in a hysterical condition
when taken in charge, and that il
would probably have endangered Mrs
Brown to have carried the young man
Immediately to Jail. He stated fur
ther that he kept him under guard al
his (the sheriff's home) during the
night. When he was sent for to come
to the mass meeting, the sheriff de-
clined. The following Beaufort dis
patch goes into further details of the
affair:

Solicitor Hydrick Saturday person
ally presented the situation growing
out of the order handed down Fri
day to him from Judge T. J. Mauldin
staying the judgment of the supreme
court in the appeal case of E. N.
Mittle and the solicitor was inform
ed by the governor that he would
take the matter under advisement.
The state supreme court refused
Mittle new trial and rehearing
and handed down a final opinion,
which was filed with the clerk of
court on August 4 which was that
the sentence of nine years on the
verdict of guilty of manslaughter
for the killing OF J. H. Patterson
near Rowesville in November, 1920,
be put into effect.
The order of Judge Mauldin filed
with the solicitor Friday was that
the judgment of the supreme court
be stayed for 80 days and was issued
on the petition of Mittle's attorneys
announcing the intention to appeal
to the United States supreme court.
Solicitor Hydrick takes the position
that circuit judge has not the pow
er to stay judgment of the supreme
court.-Orangeburg Times and DEM

KILLS sTEP-FATHER.
Coroner's Jury Holds Barnweu
Youth For Deed.

Williston, Aug 11.-About $50
O'Clock this morning, about one mile
east of Elko, three miles from Willis
ton, Moies Hair, Jr., it is alleged,
shot and instantly killed his STEP
father, .. S. Minis. The only eye
witnesses were Quincy Hair, fifteen
year-old brother of Moies Hair, and
Jesse Hair, distant relative.
From the testimony introduced at
the coroner's inquest held at Elko
this morning it seems that Mr.. Minis
made at him with knife and was
cursing him at the same time. Hair
ran out of the house and Minis pur-
sued him with the knife in his hand,
the defendant said. Hair fired once
and continued to run and was follow
ed by Minis, it is alleged. He then
fired twice and Minis fell. All three
bullets took effect, one piercing the
heart, one entering the stomach and
the other striking the right arm of
the deceased.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that Mr.. Minis came to his death
in accordance with the above testi-
mony.
Hair Immediately surrendered to
Sheriff Sanders and is in the Barn
we'll Jail. Young Hair is about twen-
ty-one years of age and bears good
reputation. The affair is very much
deplored. HBoth parties are well
known and have large family con-
nections. Mr.. Minis did not leave
any children. His widow is the
mother of young Hair.

lowing the partial failure of the
council to hold a meeting the pre-
vious evening; owing to the absence
of councilman B. S. Brown; an alter
cation took place between Mr..
Brown and T. P. S. Betterson-an
old citizen of Beaufort, regarding
Mr.. Browns failure to attend the
council meeting the previous even
ing, and which resulted in a blow
being struck Subsequently, the
matter was taken up by Mr.. Ralph
Brown; when, as it is alleged, he
knocked Mr.. Jefferson down. The
latter then went to his home near
by and was soon after followed by
Mr.. Brown, who entered the room;
where he remained but short time
and upon coming out, said to Mr..
W. A. Mcdaniel and Mr.. R. V. Bray
that there was a man inside, of the
room who needed their attention.
They entered the room and found
Mr.. Betterson severely injured; so
much so, that Mr.. Mcdonald tele-
phoned for DR.. Ryan. On arriving,
the doctor took the usual steps look
ing to the care of his patient; but in
spite Of these attentions, Mr.. Better
son almost Immediately died; and a
coroner's jury, which was subse-
quently empaneled brought in ver-
dict that Mr.. Jefferson was killed
by being struck on the head with
some blunt instrument by Mr. Ralph
Brown, and the coroner, or Magis-
trate Cary, then gave an order for
his arrest; which subsequently re-
suited in his being taken to the
county Jail, where he is now con-
fined, awaiting the action of the
court. Prior to Mr.. Browns arrest,
and acting on the advice of his coun-
sci, he surrendered to and was taken
in charge by Sheriff Bailey; who
placed him under guard in his own
home. It is not the province Of a
newspaper to try an accused within
the columns of it's publication and
The Gazette will endeavor to adhere
strictly to this line of procedure.

Grain for Planting.

Commissioner B. Harris of the de-
partment of agriculture, commerce
and industries wishes to warn all
merchants, farmers and others that
every precaution should be taken in
purchasing oats, wheat, rye and
other grains for fall planting. When
any grain is bought for seed purposes
the buyer should seee that all tags
attached to the seed as well as the
invoice should state plainly that it
is for seed purpose. An inspector
will be sent to any one upon request
to draw an official sample to test for
termination, and this should be done
when the seed is received and be-
fore being planted.
In the past it has been found that
quite a number of merchants and
others who bought oats, wheat, rye
and other grains for seed, purposes,
planted it and later found the ger
mination was poor. Quite a lot OF
the grain was bought for seed pur-
poses, but the shipper failed to
brand it as such and when it was
found that the termination was not
of the best, the matter was, taken
up with the shipper and their reply
was that it was not branded or sold
for seed purposes. There is state
law requiring all grain sold for seed
purposes to be tagged as such and
the termination must be good.

Beaufort, Aug. 10.-A mass meet
ing, that crowded the court house to-
night voted to instruct the chairman
to appoint a committee of three citi-
zens to collect, prepare and present
evidence against Sheriff J. H. Bailey
before the grand jury. This grew out
of his refusal and failure to place
Ralph E. Brown in jail as directed in
the coroner's commitment, which
found at the inquest yesterday that
Brown killed T. P. l.. Jefferson. The
vote was unanimous except for 2
brother of Brown.
The sheriff kept the prisoner at his
home while the law requires he be
put in Jail. Early in the afternoon
over 100 citizens met and sent COM
mittee to the sheriff asking him to
meet with them and explain his ac-
ton. This he refused to do. Solici-
tor Murdaugh was on his way from
Hampton and the meeting was ad-
journed to the evening. The solici-
tor was present then and advised
with the meeting as to the sheriff S
action. Just before the evening meet
ing the sheriff placed his prisoner in
jail, but again refused to attend the
meeting. Condemnation was express
ed at the fact that the sheriff's at
torney and advisor is the attorney for
the defense in the case against
Brown.
Condemnation of the city govern
ment for alleged leniency toward
Brown in former difficulties was gen.
eral, and a motion was carried, SO to
3S, asking for the resignation Of the
three commissioners, over two-thirds
refraining from voting on this issue
owing in part to the absence of the
mayor. Many women attended and
voted. Intense feeling was manifest
in the applause and speeches but the
best of order was maintained. The
committee sent to the sheriff was
Alan Paul, L. H. Hall and Gus Sand
ers, county treasurer. Niels Christen-
sen was chairman of the meetings and
Alan Paul secretary.
J.. H. Bellamy and William Altman
made the motions that carried. The
solicitor has refused to consent to
request for bail for Brown.
In the news account sent out yester-
day it was stated that Jefferson was
killed while seated A further exami
nation of the testimony shows that
at the coroner's inquest no direct evil
dence was presented to that effect.
Brown claims self defense in his re-
quest for bail.
