John Mcllwain, the Lancaster
county negro for whom there
was a two-hundred-dollai reward,
was captured about a mile
from Guess Thursday afternoon
about sunset by Messrs. C. L.
Melton, C. L. Gulledge and C.
W. Arant. He is wanted in
Lancaster for the killing of a
white man who was superintend
ent of an oil mill last fall. The
negro escaped and had been in
hiding since that time. He had
been with Isaac Rorie near
Guess since before Christmas
and had started a crop. He had
been staying very close and few
people knew there was such a
negro in this section. It seems
that he went to Alfred Blakeney,
who is said to deal in witchery
to some extent, and asked him
to get him out of trouble, saying
that he had been in trouble in
Georgia. Alfred reported to the
authorities that this must be the
negro wanted in Lancaster, and
his location and arrest was easy.
The men who arrested him pretended
to be bird hunting: and
were able to get right upon him
before their purpose was known.
The negro had been plowing
and was on his way to the house.
He was taken in an automobile
and carried as far as Mr. C. W.
Aran t's home, where preparation
was being made to carry him
on to Lancaster when Policeman
Melton turned him loose to
fasten a gate. The negro dashed
away in the darkness and es
caped, Mr. Melton chasing him
for a distance and firing one
shot in his direction. Blood
hounds were brought from Col
umbia and started on the trail

lowed the trail about four miles
to the home of Remus Gregory
but no farther. Gregoiy was
thought to have aided Mcllwain
to escape by carrying him in a
buggy. Another negro was
tracked and caught in the after
noon near jetlerson but was|
found to be the wrong one. The
reward for Mcllwain has been
increased to $600 bv relatives of
the murdered man. Mcllwain

W. P. Laney, alias Filow
Laney, a white man who stab

i back streets of the town on Ma}

"My Son," said the elderb

, heart-to-heart talk on the sub
, ject of extravagance, "when
i was your age I carried water fo
' a gang of section hands."
t "Fine for vou, dad!" answerec
the gilded youth. "I am proiu
of 3011. If it hadn't been fo
your pluck and perseverance
^ might have had to do something
of the sort myself."

class a long, highly embellishec
story of Santa Claus, and tin
mirth of Wille Jones eventualh

"Willie," said the teacher stern

"Fer lyin'," promptly answer
ed Willie; "an* I was jest wonderin'
who was poin1 to whin

Stevenson for Rural Credits
Mr. Stevenson, in his race for
congress, advocates a rural credit
system. In the South, threefourths
of the people are farmers.
The great banking law put
through by this administration
made some provision for farmers
but none for the man who has to
buy his land and needs long
credit on it. Six months is the
longest credit he can get under
that law. There should have
been a land credit system embraced
in it whereby a man
could get a long credit and low
rate of interest on real estate
and enable him to buy, or redeem
a home. Why was it not
passed with the balance of the
i bill?
