Lexington county has another mys tery. Haskell L. Lucas, a highly re spectable farmer of the Gaston sec tion and a well-known farmer, has been missing since Monday night, and Wednesday night a party of citizens made a thorough search in an effort to solve^he mystery. Mr. Lucas left his home on Monday morning with a bale of cotton to mar ket in Columbia. Failing to return Monday night his wife became very uneasy ahd a search was instituted, but not until late Tuesday was a clue found. Roaming about in the,Held grazing, was found the mule .of Mr. Lucas, still hitched to the wagon; in which was a sack of flour, a shotgun, the hat of the man and his overcoat. In the hat was found a bill for the sale of the cotton bearing the name of a well-known Columbia coton buy er. The place where the mule was found Is at a point about a mile south of Congarop Creek, on the State road loading from Columbia to Gaston.

Governor William Sulzer, of the State of New York, was Thursday found guilty by the high Court of Impeachment on three of the arti cles preferred against him. They were Articles Nos. 1, 2, and 4. He was declared Innocent of the charges contained in Article 3. He will be removed from office, but not disqual ified from holding office in the future, unless there is a substantial change hi the informal vote reported to have been taken by the Court on these questions in secret session. For the same reason it was expected that he will be found not guilty on the other four articles still remaining to be voted on when the Court adjourned Thursday night. Lieutenant Governor Martin *H.

One hundred clues have been run down and all found worthless In the Florence Brown mystery, according to a statement Sunday by Chief of Detectives Henry Tanner of Dallas, Texas. Miss Brown, a choir singer and prominent Association worker, was found dead, with her throat cut, in her uncle’s real estate office there at 9 a. m., July 28 last. The circum stances of her* death have ever since remained well-nigh incredible Miss Brown, 26 years old, rather handsome, was stenographer and con fidential agent for her uncle, Jeff D. Robinson. Rer uncle was in Colora do. On the morning of her death Shadrack B.. Cuthbertson, an em ployee, called as was customary, at her home In one of the firm's auto mobiles. Together they drove direct to the office, opening it about eight o’clock. Fifteen minutes later Guth- bertson drove away In the automo bile on business, leaving Miss Brown alone. She stood in the street door way and waved good-bye to him, sev eral persons afterward testi'j ing they saw her do this. Cuthbertson returned Just before 9 o'clock, finding the office apparently v ic.-int As the officials were not due until 9 this was not unsual.

Francis Inch, the boyish-looking Briton who commanded the burned steamer Volturno, Thursday night came to port p.t New York bringing with him 87 survivors, passengers and crew of his Ill-fated vessel. His story of the disaster, in which 13C lives were lost, had preceded him by wireless, but in a cabin of the steam er Kroonland, which brought him to New York, Capt. Inch told his tale in simply phrased and modestly spoken detail that more vividly described the panorama of the Yolturno's loss and the rescue of more than 50i» of those she had on board. There was no cowardice on the Volturno, either among officers or crew. Inch said. There was no rush of seamen which made it necessary for him to warn them back with his revolver. His revolver was in a drawer Wi bis eabin and it burned w:th the ship And no one on board drew a nvolver These statements he int* tided should n fute the stories told hy -•. e-age passengers w no ar il v • d * * n the Grosser K w r f u r. t The Volluruu'a master.

Jua what ♦he Washington government Will <kL Is a matter of speculation gujeng high officials, but the trend of events, un mistakably is toward conducting ne gotiations In some form or another with the Constitutionalists. The policy of the Cnited States has been to make complete the record of having attempted to handle the prob lem by peaceful means. Up to the present parleys have been carried on with the Huerta authorities who hare rejected the good offices of the Uni ted States.

President Wilson did the right thing when he refused to recognize the assassin and the other cut-throats who constitute his aiders and abetters. Events from now on are likely to move rapidly and perhaps more bloodily, and out of the growing welter of anarchy and funds of the people of this state.
