Dear Sir:
Yours of May 16th, asking for cer
tain information, received. I will
answer you frankly.
Ag to C. C. Campbell of Columbia
S. C., the common remark I hear

From The State.
Under the headline, “The Farmer
and the Railroad Worker,” Commerce
and Finance says: .
“The railroaders insist on a cer
tain ‘standard of living.’ David Fri

shot and instantly killed his step

The only eye witnesses were
Quincy Hair, 15 year old brother of
Moies Hair and Jesse Hair, a dis
tant relative. From the testimony
introduced at the coroner’s inquest
held at Elko that morning, it seems
that Mims and young Hair became
involved in an argument and Hair
says that Mims made at him with a

arrested and lodged in the Barnwell
jail about 12 o’clock Friday night.
The cause of the trouble is not
known, but it is presumed here that
warrants sworn out by Hill a few
'days previous for E .M. Harley and
two sons of Wood in connection with
the alleged operation of a distillery
led to the shooting.
The inquest over the body of Hill,
who was a one-armed man, he hav
ing lost his right arm in a gin ac
cident several years ago, was held
Saturday, the verdict of the cor-1
oner’s jury being that *A. M. Hill |
came to his death by a gunshot 1
wound in the hands of J. S. Wood” 1
and that ‘ E. M. Harley was acres- [
sory before and after the fact.” 1

The scenes of the pho^odrama are
located in England during the reign
of King Henry VIII, in the first half
of the sixteenth century. They show
the espodsal of Anne Boleyn by Bluff
King Hal, the hero of a hundred a-
mours. the coronation ceremonies in
Westminster Abbey, the water carni
val on the Thames, a knightly tourna
ment, the sitting of an ecclesiastical
court, the trial and condemnation of
Anne. Every scene was directed in
a masterly manner by Ernest Lu-

duced “Passion.”
Henny Porten as Anne Boleyn and

of great dramatic power and they
