Five Held For Killing
Florence, Feb. 14.?A coroner's
jury here today charged Bill Isgett,
Horsey James, Sam Jones, Bogan
Jones and Hoy Casley, with the death
of Cleveland Hart, on the night of
January 20.
Hart's wife testified her husband

with the accused and that the
last time she saw him he was on his
way to the still. The body was located
Sunday morning by a neighbor.
After the coroner's verdict this
morrting, former Sheriff Rector and

Story of Paris Mountain
Greenville, Feb. 14.?Paris Mountain,
which overlooks Greenville, was
named for the first settler of this
country, Richard Pearis, whose family
later changed the spelling of the
name to Paris, Col. J. Rion MeKissick
explained in a recent lecture on South
Carolina history at Furman University.
Pearis, who migrated from
Tennessee, led an adventurous life as
a trader and finally married a Cherokee
Indian. Col. MeKissick related.'
Disappointed because he was not
made manager of Indian affairs by
the Continental Congress, he joined
the tories and fought the patriots
! in the Revolution. Captured, he was
paroled on taking the outh of neuj
tralitv but he took up arms, and esj
raped to Florida, where he was re1
captured. He was finally pardoned,
and died in the Bahamas in 1804, according
to the lecturer.
Commander R. E. Byru, air conqueror
of the North pole, will make
a try for a flight from New York to
Paris in a few months, in an effort
to win the $25,000 prize offered for
it non-stop flight between- the two
cities.
PKCAN PLANTING WEEK
CkrutioUu Urgod to Plant Jful Trcea
Week of February 21-26
Clemaop College, Feb.' 12.^-Vecaii
planting week has been announced by
the South Carolina Pecan Society and
the Horticultural Division of Cleniaon
College for the week of February 21
to February 20, during which it la
e?ported that hundreds of pecan tree*
will be set on home grounds in the
state.
In concentrating their efforts to
this end the South Carolina Pecan
Growers Society, W. N. Koper,,secretary,
Florence; and the Extension
Horticulturist, A. K. Schilletter,
CJcmson College, have arranged to
supply those desiring the^i with fine
specimens of budded pecan trees at
very reasonable rates?shipments id
be made to planters in any number
requested from one or two trees up.
The society at Florence will alio
gladly furnish any information desired
about pecan trees, cultivation,
etc.
Mr. Roper, the secretary of the
society, in discussing pecan planting
week, urges that planting trees this
spring will save a whole year. He
also calls attention to the fact that
you do not have to own a farm to
become a pecan grower since trees
may be set on premises around the
home, yielding in a short period, excellent
nuts for food as well as improving
the attractiveness of the
premises. There are, he says, door- j
yard trees in South Carolina, seven'
years old, producing as high as 70
pounds of nuts, using for this purpose
soil fertility that otherwise would go
to waste.

MAN'S'ARM TORN OFF
Mont joy I)i?i?Uy? iUmaVkabW Nerve
After Terrible Injury
Columbin, Fob. 10.?-Ilia loft arm
literally jerked off by machinery A.
G. Montjoy, an employe*) of the
Broad Kiver Power company, descended
by a narrow ladder to the ground
50 feet below, walked 200 yards unassisted
to a nearby commiasary for
aid, rode from Parr Shoals to Columbia
in a motor cur and entered the
Baptist hospital yesterday afternoon
and last night had never lost cqnsciousness.
Karly this morning it
was said that it was impossible us
yet to say what the outcome would
be, but that he was holding his own
well and apparently had good chances
of recovery. The accident occurred
about 3:30 yesterday afternoon when
Mr. Montjoy, who is 21 years of age,
attempted to remove a nail from a
coal conveyor.
The young man displayed unusual
grit and evidently has a vei:y strong
constitution. He chatted with friends
who called on him at the hospital,
told a reporter how it occurred, and
never flinched during treatment of
the wound. An ambulance was sent
from Columbia to meet the automobile
on the road and he was transferred
to the more comfortable
vehicle. When he arrived at the hospital,
he insisted on walking in unassisted,
but attendants refused to
allow him to do so,
It is hard to describe the terribleness
of the wound. In addition to his
arm, his left shoulder blade was torn
a way. Those who saw the injured,
part marveled at the gameness and
stamina of the young man.
.Mr. Montjoy, employed as clerk to
the chief mechanical engineer of the
Parr Shoals plant of the Broad River
Power company, was lA-eaking in a
new man to work around the coal
conveyor, an automatic device used
to transport coal from freight cars
to the cleaning and pulverizing plant.
Noticeing a nail had become caught
in a magnetic wheel of^jjiq machine
Mr. Montjoy wentthe'fifty-foot
ladder and attempted to remove it.
His arm got caught in the wheel and
with a wrapping motion, was snatched
from his body. The young man kept
complete control of himself and there
followed the series of incidents already
related.
Mr. Montjoy, who is originally from
Clinton, had been employed at Parr
Shoals for about two and one half
years. Relatives were notified and
some of them came to Columbia yesterday
afternoon.
Yale has made a woman a professor
of psychiatric nursing, the first
post of its kind to be created.
Marion Officer Badly Wounded ?.J
Mullins, Feb. 9.?As resurtts of raid
Tuesday night on a negro house, located
on a neighborhood road in Gapway
section, four miles south of Mullins,
Officer ?Solon B. I^ewis, deputized
by the sheriff, and Rural Policeman
S. L. Davis are^uffering serious gunshot
wounds. Mr. Lewis is#in the
Mullins hospital with his right jaw
bone completely shot off and injuries
in the face. At the Mullins hospital
this afternoon it 'was said by Dr.
L. M. McMillan, surgeon in charge,
that his wounds would very probably
prove fatal. He has regained consciousness
and receives nourishment
only by the aid of tubes.
Solon B. Lewis and S. L. Davis
both were wounded in the raid, which
they conducted at 11 o'clock last
night at the home cf Lizzie Leonard,
where Liston Davis, negro, was barricaded.
Liston Davis has a criminal
record in the county courts and
he has been hunted by the tfl
for more than a year on chujl
shooting.
