Team I* Fqiiud Neurby.
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. Mr. Lucas was seen by a
ntimbor of persons ns he passed
through New Hrookland and Cayre,

dence by Threats.—Not Disquali
fied From Holding Office.
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

Working Girl, KUln la Office, 1* fttill
Vnavenged by Ij«w Although Three
Months Have Paaited.
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

Captain Inch, Who Commanded the
Ill-fated Voltnrno, Pays Tribute to
Men of His Own Crew and to tbe
Rescue Ships Which Answered His
Desperate Appeal.
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

President Wilson Thursday Indl-
[ cated to those who discusssd tha Mex
ican situation with him that ha was
irrevocably determined to deal no
longer with the Huerta regime, but
that further steps towsrd bringing
pence to Mexico were being consider
ed. No move Is expected, f however,
until after October 26, tha dfito sat
'or thq M xicsn election. 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. Strong prssure now is be
ing brough to bear upon the Presi
dent and Secretary Bryan to give the
Constitutionalists an opportunity to
compose the situation through the
support of this country.

“DurM g Hie forty years that the
credit of the old secession states have
had this bar sinster written across it
by the statutes of Northern and East
ern states, agents of the insurance
companies form those states have
been most assiduously seeking South
Carolina money to be sent to trustees
in the North. Out of the money col
lected here and, all of the expenses
ncurred here and after taking out the
toll for home office expenses in the
home states of the companies, there
have remained over millions of dol
lars, which for the most part have
ben invested elsewhere.
“And, sad to relate, many agents
employed by these foreign corpora
tions to gather South Carolina money
rarely hesitate to disparage or throt
tle domestic companies which sought
to keep part of this money at home.
“So while South Carolina’s credit
has been damaged abroad, her own
institutions have been stifled and the
money of her people has been sent to
make great and still greater Institu
tions in unfriendly sections, and to
enrich people there and elsewhere.

The Huerta despotism can not last
a great while in Mexico. 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

such statutes uqder a plea of selfi nuir ^ cr which can not long be en-

Patrolman J R Brown, the girl’s

Officer* urged men and women to
Jump overboard, for th* lifeboat
could not get near enough for them
to be lowered into It. None- dared
to Jump "Show them how to Jump,”
Inch told his crew
Two at a time they leaped over the
rail When passengers saw them
reach the lifeboat they followed them
Into the aea. With boat hooks and
oars some were rescued. Others went
to their death No women were re
moved In this way.
"Before I climbed down I went
over the ship to see if any one re
mained,” Inch said. “The fire had
eaten its way beyond amidships under
the decks. I found no one alive,
though there were bodies in the fore
castles. I went to the rail with my
dog, wrapped In a blanket. I leaned
over. ‘Here,’ I said, ‘catch my baby.’
I dropped the dog into the arms of
a Kroonland officer in the lifeboat.
He opened the blanket tenderly.
‘Why, its a dog,’ he said, T thought
it was your k^d.’ ”
Inch’s three “kids” and their
mother are in London. One of his
first acts upon arriving in New York
was to send them a cablegram. Their
father went 3 6 hours without eating
or drinking, refusing to leave the
work of fire fighting. “I smoked,
smoked about all the time, cigars,
pipes, cigarettes, anything I could
get,” Inch said. A blast of heat
blinded his eyes with pain and the
skin peeled from his face when he
received his first medical attention
after being rescued. They had to
drop cocaine Into his eyes before he
could again see.
