When captured the Charleston convict was unarmed and offered no resistance. "At o'clock this afternoon at the Sumter County Jail where he was rushed by Officers Leon Do!lard and Mr. Boykin, the low country Negro told some of his experiences during the hours since he escaped from the prison farm on Sunday. "With thv exception of a little raw meat and water he said he had been virtually without food since Sunday afternoon. The clothes he wore, Simmons declared, were stolen from a negro house in his path of flight. He did not hold the owner up but just simply stole the clothes. 'The original party of the six convicts, he said, broke up last night into two parties, both ot which were trying to make their getaway and were hiding out in the vicinity of the big swamp. Two of the convicts separated from the! other four and this morning he said ! that he. decided to leave the three he ! was with and try to reach Sumter. "One of the convicts, Cornell "Red" Williams, Spa run burg convict, serva four year sentence, was heavily armed with a -14-40 ami- swore that! he would not be taken alive. The I others, too, were heavily armed and! Simmons said he was glad he was! not killed for he was afraid that! some..ne was going to get killed be-: fore the day was passed. He believes! that Williams will not be Uken alive.! "This morning he related that he1 had decided to reach Sumter and was ! walking along the railroad track near!

Junior Order To Hold State Meeting The Junior Order United American Mechanics which convenes her? in annual session this month, in one of the oFtlcst fraternities in America, having nerved the American j>eoplv for eighty-two years, and has been an important factor in making our country what our fore-fathers intended it to be. The Junior Order luis sponsored hills in (Congress to restrict immigration to this country, ami in the last few years has been successful in seeming thv passage of several such bills which will prohibit the landing on our shores of the criminals ami illierates of the old world, who come here with no intention of making good citizens but only to get what they can. This has a tendency tc lower our standards of living and tc cause our people to join the bread lines for lack of employment, while these undesirable immigrants live in luxury. The Older pledges support to the free public schools of our nation sc that every boy and girl in America shall have the opportunity of at least a common school education. It has promoted building programs and advocated and securer! in many states free text books for the children of public schools. This order has long advocated the reading of the Holy Bible in the publie schools of our country, not to teach sectarianism, but because it contains the foundation of all normal laws. It is the inestimable gift of Clod to man. At the same time it recognizes the right of every person to worship God according to the dictates of his or her conscience. It is opposed to the union of church ami state and the appropriation, of any public funds for sectarian purposes. The Order encourages the flying of the American flag over every public school building, thereby inspiring the youths of America with patriotism, With the.se two purposes in mind the Order has presented more than sixty thousand Bibles and flags to public schoools during the past eighty-two years, of which, a good many have been presented by the local council to schools in Kershaw county. The Junior Order owns, ( preates and maintains at TifFon, Ohio, and Lexington. N. C., two of the largest fraternal orphan homos in America, valued at more than six million dollars.
