Bennettsville, Nov. 8.?A deep gloom was cast over Bennettsville this afternoon when a telephone message was received from the sheriff of Rockinghom counly, N. C., which led to the belief that Thomas Breedin McLaurin, president of the Mutual Savings Bank of Bennettsville, had taken his own life. Mr. McLaurin's coat, shoes and hat were found on the bank of the Pee Dee river and on these was a card of Mr. McLau.ron's on the hack of which was written: "I thought it best to do this." About the middle of the afternoon today Mr. McLaurin had his chauffeur send a public car to his office for him. Mr. McLaurin left in this car and nothing more was heard from him until the message was reoniTrar} TV. o r?lnthincr xxrac frmnH T X XX ^ ViV/li <u X XX ?2 WXU xvvx XX V4 w v Blewett falls, about nine miles above Rockinghom, which is 25 miles from here.

DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL CAVERN. Believe Section of Maryland County is Undermined by Caves. Iy ' With thS discovery of a large cavern on the farm of Frank Baker, adjoining the farm of Edward E. Hurtzell, a Hagerstown, Md., banker, on which a large cave was recently opened by workmen blasting between Keedsville and Boonsboro, it is believed that a*large part of that section of the country is undermined with beautiful caverns. It is said that the cavern on the Hurtzell farm, in which gold is reported to have* been found and claimed to be a rival of the famous caverns at Luray, Va., is outrivaled by the newly found cave on the Baker farm, which was discovered by James Maddern and others from Boonsboro. Baker has arranged for a thorough exploration of the cavern. He believes the cave is connected with that v on the Hurtzell farm, and that the underground passage may extend for miles. HARDING WILL SEEK VIEWS ON PEACE WILL CONSULT NATION'S "LEADING MINDS." On New Association. List of Those to be Called on, HowBig Party Secret With New Chief Executive. Marion, Ohio, Nov. 5.?Presidentelect Harding already has begun fulfilment of his campaign promise to consult the nation's leading minds with regard to a new association of nations, and he hopes that by the time of his inauguration next March he will have laid the ground work of a plan behind which the sentiment of the nation can unite. A list> of those to be consulted first has been drawn up, and invitations are going forward to several to come to Marion at the conclusion of the ! month's vacation trip which is to be started by the president-elect tomorrow. Both Republicans and Democrats are to present their views in j individual and personal talks with i Mr. Harding during the winter months, but he does not contemplate for the present, at least, any general assemblage of his advisers for round table discussions. The names of those already invited have not been made public, but it w^as said in an announcement from the president-elect's office tonight that "men and women who have been eminent in the discussions of other foreign relations" made up the list. The announcement followed a long conference between Senator Harding j and Will H. Hays. Neither revealed; what subjects they had discussed, but j it was understood the chairman's visit here was made at Mr. Harding's request, and had to do both with the campaiga just closed and with the policies to be shaped for the coming administration. v The objective of the senator's trip is Point Isabel, Texas, and although j he plans to occupy most of his timej there hunting and fishing, another of his campaign advisers, Harry M. Daugherty, will accompany him. Today Mr. Harding declined an offer of President Wilson to provide him with a battleship for the voyage to the Panama Canal Zone, which is to follow a twelve days stay at PPoint Isabel. In response to a tele gram from Secretary Daniels, 'con-1 veving the president's proposal, the president-elect wired that he was thankful but already had closed an agreeement to make the trip on a passenger steamer. That the plan for conferences on an association of nations already was taking form was revealed in this announcement from Mr. Harding's office: Informal Conferences^ "Senator Harding let it be known today that he is sending put a number of requests for personal and very informal conferences with men 'and women who have been eminent in the discussion of our foreign relations. These conferences will take place upon the return to Marion in December, and will be individual and personal, with the main purpose of learning what policy may enlist united support. "Senator Harding means to avoid any unseemly anticipation, but he feels it wholly becoming to get an expression entirely free from camnoiwri Kioe o t-i f rw nrot if of flio AO f? uiao, anu l w it at v^ui liest possible day. It is the first step toward the meeting of minds of which Senator Harding so frequently spoke during the campaign. He did not make public any list, because it will not be complete before his vacation ends. "Senator Harding further announced that no consideration would be given 'to a cabinet during his recreation period." ^ mm The General1s Endorsement.

"Who can tell me," he snapped, "when and why Sherman said 'war is hell?' " ""When Grant made him hike from Atlanta to the sea," came back a footsore doughboy. ? m > wm Insufficient Excuse. Here, what's aoming off out there?" yelled Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, Ark., as a wild clamor arose in the yard. "The baby was playing with my fishing tackle," howled young Bearcat, "and he swallowed a fishhook." "Well, what the Sam Hill is that for you to make such a fuss about? Hain't you got no more fishhooks?" NIGHT RIDERS VISIT DILLON. White Residents of Pee Dee Town Resent Warnings of Visitors. Dillon, Nov. 8.?Early this morn! ing it became generally known that the negro population of Dillon and immediate vicinity had been visited' j by a body of people styling themselves as night riders from North Carolina. Several cards were shown today to white citizens of the town and the card were captioned "We are Here." They, admonished the negroes to be in the cotton fields 011 .Monday morning with their families and that they should not charge but $1 per hundred for picking short staple cotton and $1.25 for long staple; also that they should' only pick for people wno would pay these prices and that Saturday was wash day and that they should pick cotton for white people. The cards were smeared with red ink. They were neatly printed in good type and were signed "Night Riders from the Old North State." Quite a lot of business has been left by the negroes throughout the day and they are fearing trouble tonight. One family of negroes left today until the excitement is over. A mass meeting of white citizens was held here this afternoon, condemning in the strongest terms the work of the night riders, and the officers of the county are on the alert to apprehend the guilty parties. The community is not in sympathy with such tactics and will not stand for it. There has always existed throughout the county an unusually cordial and kindly feeling between the races and the negroes as a whole of the county are law abiding and industrious. They claim that they have not demanded excessively high wages for picking i. x i j 11. .L i ej- i a conoii, dul mat umereni iarmers have bid for their services and they have accepted the highest prices offered. % ^ i ? m COURT ADJOURNED.

Squelched. The handsome young woman, having reached the street corner, seemed not quite certain which direction to take. A masher who had been following her, seized his opportunity, approached her and said, "Er, beg pardon, but you seem in doubt where you want to go." "Indeed," she said. "Well, I'm not in doubt where I want you to go." He left suddenly.?Boston Transscript. j o? m* ?Miss Gertrude Smoak visited friends in Columbia last week. The F. M. Bamberg chapter of the lr. D.
