The cash in hand usd the pledges made justify Dr. Lynn in beginning to build at once. “The lack of just such a home for the orphan babies has been keenly felt and the erection of a cottage to fill this need has been a long cher ished wish of the president of the Thomwell Orphanage. This need had been presented to our late Synodical President, Mrs. Louise Mayes. She was planning Jto push forward this work when-God called ’her fruiii her labors in His earthly kingdom to her eternal reward. With the memory of Mrs. Mayes’ untiring efforts for the advancement of the Master’s cause and her great passion for the youth of our land so fresh in our minds, it was decided that this home at Thorn- well should be a memorial to her. “When God took away one who meant so much as a leader to South Carolina synodical. He at the same time gave another who was so ready, so willing and so capable to take up and lead on this wonderful work for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ On becoming president, Mrs. Andrew Bramlett at once took hold of this work and outlined a plan, the best way possible, as results have shown, of raising the amount which South Carolina Synodical was called upon to give. c “Her plan was for every member in every Presbyterian church in South Carolina to have a part in raising the aeeded funds. Gifts were asked from all whether small or large, and ap portionments given to every auxiliary •ecording to the ability of each to give, as shown by their gifts in the past reports. “The campaign was put on in Oc tober.

Mr. Hammond also lost 50 acres of cotton with about 100 acres severely damaged, eight acres of tobacco and other crops. Mrs. Muldrow’s home was not so badly damaged, but the beautiful pine grove in front of the home waa a com plete wreck, one of the large trees just barely missing the house. One tenant house on this plantation was badly damaged. Much damage was done to the crops on this farm, but as yet no estimate has been made. An unusually large cotton warehouse, seed warehouse and a large cotton gin, owned jointly by Mr. Player and Mr. Hammond, also were in the path of the storm, and were completely destroyed.

Laurens, June 23.—On advice from A. M. Scarborough, superintendent of the state penitentiary, Monroe Wil lard has been arrested and is held in the county jail until further orders from Gov. Thomas G. McLeod, who has been advised by Sheriff S. C. Reid of the arrest of Willard. Willard, who was serving a ten year sentence along with Luther Tim mons, following their conviction of manslaughter in connection with the killing in January 1922, of Hosea Martin, a Laurens city policeman, was out on parole granted by the governor because of the alleged impaired con dition of his health. Sheriff Reid’s information from the penitentiary head was to the effect that Willard had violated the parole, and his rearrest was directed. The sheriff is awaiting orders as to what disposition to make of the prisoner. The trial two years ago of Willard and Timmons was one of the most interesting cases heard in the Lau rens court for some time. Martin, together with several city and county officers, was at the time of the kill ing attempting to stop a car alleged to be canrying whiskey, when a gun battle ensued, resulting in the fatal shooting of Martin by one of the men in the car, it being later proved that Willard and Timmons were the occu pants of the machine.
