The sang-froid of the head of fhe
Morgan houiK' was fully tested Wednesday
when the press agent of u
i-ij. *'' ie-show introduced one of
it" midgets to the Morgan gi'vup
which ^?s awaiting the opening of
the Senate hearing', and had the little
parrel of humanity maidenly climb
upon the knee* of the financier while
the cameras clicked.
. ~ ^ i ^ef% v . |
Too much of a gentleman to cast
the intruder to the floor, Mr. Morgan
submitted to the ordeal and the press
agent and his midget retired pleaded
with the publicity stunt they had
pulled. But the second chapter wan
not so pleasing. The Senate bank ing
committee, which it conducting
the hearing, finding no instructions
to convert it.ixrto a cheap, midway
affair, promptly warned newspaper
photographers that if pictures of Mr.
Morgan and the midget were used
their cameras would be barred from
future hearings.
Thus ended a coarse, cheap, clown-j
ish and tawdry a&ertising trick.?Sj?artar?burg

"If the dairy cow cycle runs its

Now the most economical way for

Makes Wild Rjde
For An Analysis
When Tom Deaton of Kerahaw wa?
f observed going through Lancaster at
I a very fast rate of ?j>ee<l on Monday
j morning much curiosity wax aroused
and it was found out later that he
was tiavbling to Charlotte to get an
analysis of the poison taken by Tillman
Howell, of Kershaw, who was
' reported in a critical condition.
Howell is reported to have taken poison
about H a. in, and a stomach
pump was used on him aoon afterward.
Because of the fact that it
was not known as to what j>oison was
I used the excretion was carried to
Charlotte by Mr. Deaton for an
i anaylsis.
Mr. Deaton .made the trip to Charlotte
in record breaking time. Officers
h?ye eet ont in pursuit of him
after he pussed through the city but
on his way back he stopped and told
the police why he was making his
wild ride.
Mr. Howell, who has been employed
by the .Standard Oil Company for|
eme time, <waa believed to have tab on
bichloride of mercury tablets in an
endeavor to commit suicide. However,
it was reported at noon on Monday
that he wee doing well.
It is reported that Deaton made
the flying trip from Kershaw to
Charlotte, a distance of fifty-five
miles in a little more than forty
minutos.
Financial troubles is given as the
cause for the rash act Mr. Howell.
He has lived in Kershaw for a num- i
ber of years and has many friends I
in tins county who were shocked to
hear of his act.?Lancaster News.

Racing and Estates
Told in "Sportsman"
The following article appeared in
the June issue of " SrportHHWin," a na|
tional publication. The atory is writj
ten by Sidney N." Sh unci iff, member
of the American society of landscape
! architects, who was a visitor here
I last spring. Ho also took a number
of interesting photos which took up
i four payee in the Sportsmen. Among |
i them were views i?f T)r* Kennels,
j Goody Castle, Holly Hedge, inter-or j

Kirkover's home, Mulberry 4hd ai
' beautiful view of Mulberry stables
I and surroundings. It ?was one of the
most profusely illustrated articles of
Camden and her estates appearing.in
many years: ^
in 11*27 Mr. Harry 1). Kirkover and
Mr. Ernest' *L. Woodward, both of
Buffalo, New York, were so fascinated
by the unhurried coloniu! atmos-1
phere of the historic old town of
Camden, South Carolina, its mild climate,
and its unexcelled opportunities
for sport that both deckled to
make their winter homes there. * Mr.
Woodward purchased "Holly Hedge,"
the old Governor Johnson estate,
one of the few places which had been
kept, complete with its gardens, in
an almost perfect state of preservation.
Across the street Mr. Kirkover
built on an old site a fine new home
which he calls "The Hedges."
These two gentlemen have shown
an almost unprecedented public spirit
by*purchasing nearly all the land on
one side of the town, and by building
[on this land the huge Springdale
Have Course with stables arid kennels
Uidhdning, all of which they maintain.
I at their own expense. Here are held

I^est there be a charge of dicta-1
torship in sjx>rt against Messrs.,
Woodward and Kirkover, the (.'hero- j
kee Club, a committee of seven, has i
been formed to control the spor' ing
activities of Camden, except hunting}
and racing. Besides Mr. Woodward ]
and Mr. Kirkover, the club includes)
Mr. Samuel Russell, of "Millbank," j
who is in charge of .polo, Mr. H.vid,

maintains two drag lines for the :.unt

the leading gentleman riders at IIunt|
race meetings.
I know of no small place in the
Sout^i which can equal the perfection
of detail to be found in Mr. Ernest
L. Woodward's "Holly Hedge." The
simplicity of the old white clapboarded
house with its dormer win\>
dowa and two-story shady portico accounts
for a part of its attraction,
but no camera can do justice to the
verdant dark green of the evergreen
privet, holly, cedar, magnolia, and
laurel foliage which contrasts ?o
pleasantly with the brilliant blossoms
of azaleas and camellias. Clipped
holly hedges wind along each side of
the formal entrance driveway and
then, turning into the garden in fronti
of the house, go into a series of ^er-j
pent.ne curves which could ?>niy have j

Four negroes were released after
they were not identified in a hospital
by Madison Stone, dangeorusly shot
when Miss~Thelma Martin was killed
by two negroes a few miles from
Spartanburg. Two of them were arrested
at Calhoun Falls, and the lone
policeman there had difficulty in preventing
mill workers from lynching
them, and in getting them to the Abbeville
jail, from which they were
taken to Spartanburg later. Hundreds
of people attended the funeral
of Miss Martin at Pacolet Mills
churdh on Wednesday. Officers are
without definite idea of the identity
of her slayers, but are trying to
trace a homemade walking stick with
which she and Stone were beaten,
which was found at the scene of the
crime.

"Mulberry" plantation near Camden.
which originally included 4,100
ucres, is now owned by Mr. David R.
Williams, a direct descendant of the
Ohesnut family to whom the land
was granted six generations ago. The
house, built about 1820, is the third
on the same site, and one of the first
to be constructed in this part of the
South with three living floors in addition
to its high basement. At one
time "Mulberry" was run on so grand
* svale that over a hundred slaves
.vere quartered jr. the old slave yard,
tow destroyed. Still remaining are
some of the old barns and individual
legro houses The stable, where Mr.
rViliiams keeps some thirty horses, is

About 20 towns in 12 counties in
South Carolina were killed as municipalities
by an act of the legislature
without many people knowing
it. They small places, often
without offices filled, containing a
store as the princijial reason for existence,
The last session of solons
placed a tax on all stores in incorporated
towns, and it was cheaper to
cancel the charter of the town than
to pay the special tax on the store.
Others are expected to comtmit suicide
thus this year.
