NOTED PRISONER PAROLED I Governor Gardner I'iuch Man Who Became Wealthy in Alabama Raleigh, Feb. 5.?John H. Cameron, j North Carolina escaped convict who ' became a weulthy and respected cit- j is en of Sylacauga, Alabama, will again become a free man late today j or early tomorrow. Governor O. Max Gardner late this morning formally signed parole pap. era for Cameron, Hoke county man who served less than a year of a 20-year sentence for murder before he escaped prison in December, 1014. The decision of Governor Gardner last night to free Cameron came as a surprise and was taken without the knowledge of Cameron's attorneys or any other interested parties. The condition of the plotter's health whs said to huve been Responsible for the parole. Cameron, under the name of J. 13. Davis, became the wealthiest and leading citizen of Sylacauga during his 14 years of freedom after his escape. He was returned here in November, HK38, to complete service of his sentence. While living in Alabuma uhder the name <>/ Davis, iho former Norti Carolinian carried three of his son- j from Kacford in Hoke county to Sylacauga and established them in exiensive turpentine business with himself. The rest of bis family remained in Raeford. Cameron was sent to prison in 101 i to serve 20 years for the killing of 1'. C. Oakev, Raeford county chief of police. The of.fcier had previously arrested Cameron, member of a prominent family, for drunkenness. TODAY'S BANDIT A BRUTE Gunman Shoots to Kill Whether He Has Provocation or Not Two bandits entered a New Yorx store, occupied at the time by Elias Ellmond, 60, a shoe clerk, and Louis Dickman, young son of the proprietor. Their hands were ordered up as the thugs aimed revolvers. "You hand over that ring," said one, spying it on Ellmonds up-raised hand. It was a gift from his dead wife, Ellmond explained, and pleaded for the right to keep it. Ellmond was chivalrous to the past, in remembrance of romance. His knigh4hood still lived. But not so in the criminals of today. The robbers swore in reply, and one fired two shots into Ellmond's breast, killing him, for no reason whatever, as Ellmond in death kept his ring. The bandit turned hastily scooped $75 out of the cash register and fled. There is no chivalry, no honor among the modern thieves. They have no respect for romance, for sentiment and certainly not for life. Men are shot down now with little or no provocation. This is due either to bitter brutality or the nervousness of inexperience. The trained thug of old never shot without a semblance of an excuse. There is no regard for "life nor fear of the law. There is no conscience and chivalrous conduct is missing.?'Miami Herald. "Hard Times" How are times in North Carolina? "Hard", comes the clamorous answer from all over the state. But if times are so "hard" why is it that the people of the state managed to scrape together some $60,000,000 to send out to other states for new automobiles during the past year? This is a sum not so much less than the value of the cotton crop of the state.?'Winston-Salem Journal. A Buffalo, N.

Fletcher in Greenville I >miIy iNews.) Nature haa added her handiwork to the efforta of men to erect a suitable monument to the memory of the Hev. George Pope, founder of the second oldeat Baptist church in South Carolina, the Flat Creek Baptist church, ten miles oust of Kershaw. Standing in the center of th* ven crable miniater'a grave in Flat Creek cemetery, ia u 50-foot maple tree, t sided in the Flat Creek community I till hi* life, related, soon* interesting j ' ! history of the Flat Creek church, \ some of which he has witnessed himI { self and some of which antedates his < own life. "1 don't know how old that tree \ I is," Mr. Gardner said, in referring' t to the maple standing in the center . , of the grave. In fact, I don't Uiink ( anybody knows. It has been there for years and years. Of course I I , can remember when it was just a I i i four and a half feet in circumference | an<| one and one-half feet in diamI eter, which has been there since the I memory of the oldest inhabitants of | this community. The Rev. Mr. Pope came to the Flat Creek section in 177(3, moving here from North Carolina or Virginia in response to a dream and a direct call to go to Lancaster county tO^preaoh. The same day the United States was born, July 4, 177(3, he led a small group of zealous followers in organizing the Flat Creek church. He served as its minister until his death, and now he sleeps in the church cemetery, with an ancient stone at the foot of his grave, a more recently erected monument marking the head of the tomb, and nature's beautiful memorial, a maple tree, rooted in the center of the grave. Frank Gardner, 75, who has re ? I little sapling, and only it and two j small stones marked the grave. The j original footstone is still in place,' while the old headstone was moved j aside in 1909 to make room for the j large stone which now marks the I head of the grave. The new stone , has the most unusual inscription that ' I have ever seen or heard of." "Mr. Pope was a Baptist preacher i who lived in the upper part of North | Carolina or the lower part of Virgin- i ia. He had a 'vision' to go to! Lynche's Creek, South Carolina, and , preach. When he refused to go after , a second vision, his stock begun to ! die. One morning he found that his j wheat had been killed during the night. Mr. Pope then cried out,1 'Lord, what shall I do?' A voice told him to go to Lynche's Creek and preach. The man came here on horseback, and upon riding up to u little log cabin where services were jein? hold was asked to preach, lit? < ?uhI he would preach just so at the t same time crossing his index fin- i {ers. So powerful was the visitor's preaching that the people followed ( mmi and on July 4, 1770, he led ih 1 <ig a n iy. i ng Flat Creek baptist church, r .vhivh I have been told is the second < ddcsl church in the state, being sec- \ rul to a ohurch in Charleston." "Mr. Pope was the first person to . ie buried in the cemetery although here is no written record giving the /ear in which he died," the old genIonian added. The unusual inscription which cov rs three sides of the atone reads: "A baptist preacher who lived in :he lower part of Virginia or the jpper part of North Carolina, \s h * iad 11 dream to go to Lyache's Creek Lo preach, as it was only a dream tie did not heed it, later he had the same dream, but he paid little attention to it as it was" only u dream. Soon his stoJTc began to die. lie stiU lid not go. One morning he wen'., to his wheat field and found the frost had killed all his wheat and in tlorp.'i!' he cried out, 'I.ord, what -h:." I do?' A voice or deep impression replied, '(Jo to Lynche's Creek and preach.' He went home, saddled his horse, and started, not knowing which way to go, but knew he was right by seeing objects that he had seen in his dream. Arriving at the place, next day he and some friends went to the little log house where services were being hold. At the conclusion he arose and said he was going to preach just so, describing a cross with his fingers. The effect of his preaching was such as had never been seen in all the eountry before. The theme of his whole preaching was that it was dangerous to lie down to sleep a sinner. ''The people followed him and extended him a ? f call to preach, and he accepted and organized Flat Creek church July 4, 1776. He moved his family here and preached until he died, being the first pernon 'buried here. Some years after the death of Rev. Pope, Joseph Copeland, a baptist preacher, dreamed that he must go and cut down the saplings which hui grown up in the field cleared by M?*. Pope." The fourth side of the stone carries in larger letterR?these words'"Erected by the Flat Creek Sunday School and Friends July 4, 1909." Upon being asked if there were dher interesting figures 'burled In he cemetery or if there were other inusual graves Mr. Gardner replied, 'I ran give you the names of severul Confederate soldiers, ail former inem?ers of the Flat Creek church, who est there." Then the man who was >nly seven years of age when the ,var began, gave as wearers of the fray Bob Gardner, George Gardner, lim Gardner, Geames Gardner, Minor . ardner, Ransom Gardner, Hanson Mexican) Gardner, Alfred Gardner, (all relatives of Frank Gardner), Jritton Parker, Lydes Preston, George Mungo, Andrew Knight and Therlow PreRton. It is an established fact that the <-v ] l-'lat Creek church organized in 177<> .ml which met first in a log cabin, lias continued without interruption. \ second building was erected a few hundred yards ,below the site of the lob cabin, while the present structure, n modern rural house of worship, ? lands on the exact spot where services were being held when Mr. Pope rode up to the cabin door." A number of powerful spiritual figures have occupied the pulpit, among them being the Kov. Nathan ? Faile and ihe Rev. T. A. Dabney,'th< 1. tiler serving for approximately' twenty-five years. For the past four years the church has experienced growth under the leadership of the Rev. Geo. E. Smith, pastor of the First Baptist church of Kershaw. ' ?? - v. Spritesi 1 height W.

To meet the competition of Western cottons our growers must realize the following facts: .1- T"~ m We are in the fortunate position of having within the State a market through IS our cotton mills for approximately 800,000 hales of 15-16 to 1 (1 -16 inch cotton. During the past four years, since the inauguration of the Five-Acre Cotton Conss test, our production of this type of cotton has increased faster than that of any t other Southeastern State but we still sure approximately 500,000 bales short of supplying the needs of our home manuf acturers. \y ' S Results of the contests show that the production of a quality cotton is more W profitable per acre than is the production of 7-8 inch staple cotton, of which we grow almost 300,000 more bales than our mills can consume. psi A cordial invitation is extended every farmer in South Carolina to enter the 56 1930 contest and to compete for the valuable cash awards to be given by the Cotton 'Manufacturers.
