Anderson Veteran Says Old Soldiers'
Home is a Rough Place.
Because of lack of discipline
among the inmates 01 the Soldier's
Home, at Columbia, where he says
they are allowed to do as they please,
curse, and conduct themselves in an
indecent and barbarous manner, Mr.
Riley Rowland, ot Pendieton, who
was one of those admitted to the
home from Anderson county, has returned
and says he will not again
enter the institution until some
great changes have been effected and
the home is conducted on a higher
plane. The 21 veterans who are now
at the home, he says, have no regard
whatever tor the rules that have
been laid down for the conduct of
the institution, and these are not enforced
by those in charge, Capt.
Starling, of Columbia, and Capt.
Day, of Abbeville. This is due in
part, he says, to timidness on the
part of the officers, who wish to al
low the inmates as much freedom as
possible.
From morning till night the place
is in a turmoil, according to the
statement of Mr. Rowland. There is
m- swearing; smutty jokes are told in
* J ? ennm fA
IUUU VUICtJS, ituu liic luuiai^o g^vui i.v
vie with each other in an effort to
v-see who can tell the most immoral
> .... and dirty stories. In the mess hall
the condition is deplorable. The
waiters are given no opportunity to
serve the dishes. If a certain thing
be had that appeals particularly to
the appetite of any one veteran, he
j??. ' promptly turns the contents out into
his plate and begins to eat. No grace
is said, and the meal is partaken of
in wild disorder.
The home, Mr. Rowland says, is
[ >"- well situated, comfortably furnished,
* i i and should be a place where the old
h?i'< soldiers could enjoy their declining
pv years. But, he says, if ,the present
~ condition is allowed to continue no
veteran who tries to walk in the narIgpf
row way should go to the place. It is
no fit place for him. "I stood it as
gp long as I could, and then left." He is
|^P-of the opinion that the home, conpip
ducted as at present, is more of a
W&& curse than a blessing or a benefit to
? ; the inmates.
Mr. Roland says he believes some
Ife thing should be done at once. There
are old, gray-haired men there
whose years are few, and they should
not conduct themselves in such a
barbarous and uncivilized manner.
The condition is deplorable, to say
the least.
[Pp-T ^ Mr. Roland spent nearly three
weeks in Columbia, returning hoAe
the middle of last week. He says he
has no desire ever to return, but
. hopes that something will be done
that will bring about a change for
the. better at the institution.
Mr. Rowland lived at Pendleton
for a great many years. He was a
splendid soldier, and was one of the
: few' who survived the explosion of
-the crater at Petersburg. He is a
man of fine ideals, and is the soul of
honor, and has always been held in
the highest esteem by all who know
r him. All of his relatives are dead,
> and for several years he has looked
forward to spending his declining
years in the Soldiers' Home, in Columbia.
He has no other home now,
the news that he found the institution
in Columbia so badly managed
that he could not remain in it
will be distressing to his many
friends. His old comrades, and the
-people of the county, will not let him
^suffer, but it is not known yet what
arrangements will be made for tak
tag care of him.?Anderson Mail.
?11 if. Capt. Starling Makes Denial.
Spfejf. Capt. W. D. Starling, the comBel.*
mandant at the Confederate Soldiers'
Home, was communicated with last
JR'S;' night regarding a dispatch from Anderson
declaring that a certain inmate
had found the home unbearpk^
Capt. Starling indignantly denied
the entire statement. "The truth of
the matter is." said the commandant,
"we had to call this Mr. RowBg&K
land's attention to his unclean habits
and his lack of ordinary cleanliness,
glgo I did this after several complaints
and Mr. Rowland finally announced
that he was going to-, leave and go
feaek home. He said before leaving
that he had nothing to complain
about as to the management of the
home, and that he had already arranged
for a petition to be prepared
by several ladies that would increase
his pension."
Capt. Starling has had several
years' of experience in dealing with
K?: the arrangements for the care of veterans
and he knows thoroughly
every possible complaint that might
? arise and as a result he has enl
deavored to conduct the home just
as he would any place of like character.
The atmosphere of the home
jp?p Impressed all visitors as nearly like a
South Carolina home as it could be,
and among those admitted are some
men of elegant manners, men of culture
and refinement.?The State.
p|f CAUGHT AFTER TEN YEARS.
pplv Negro Preacher Wanted in Lexington
Located in Washington.
Lexington, June 13.?W. W. Barton,
a negro preacher, who has been
wanted in this county for more than
10 years, has recently been located
in Washington by Sheriff Corley.
Barton is now under arrest in that
" city, and will be brought back here
\ within the next few days. Mr. C. E.
Corley, a brother of Sheriff Corley,
sfv left here on Thursday for Washing^
ton, armed with requisition papers
from Gov. Ansel, and a message
& ;. from Mr. Corley yesterday stated
Ko* fh?PA was some defect in the
papers and that Barton had refused
to return until the papers were put
iv in regular form. The papers have
been corrected and it is expected
*/ that the negro will be brought back
in a few days to stand his trial.
Barton committed forgery and Mr.
W. P. Roof went on his bond, but
when the case was called for trial he
failed to put in his appearance, and
P the officers have been looking for
him ever since. Sheriff Corley first
5 learned of Barton's being in Washington
during the inauguration of
* * Mr. Taft as president and he immediately
undertook to have him lojp|i
eated.

PUT IN CONWAY JAIL. ^
Melvin Watson Arrested Near Green
Sea by C. M. Reaves. *
Conway, June 13.?Melvin Watson,
the negro who so fouilv murder- ,
ed Mr. John Watson at Green Sea on
June 2, is now in jail. The commitment
was made this morning about
2 o'clock, the negro having been cap- j
tured last night by Mr. C. M. Reaves I
on his plantation only a few miles | e
rom Green Sea, the scene of the 11
killing. As soon as Mr. Reaves got j)
the negro he rushed him to jail, i *
driving a distance of about 25 miles. |c
The negro made no resistance when >
he was arrested. Yesterday after- t
noon about dark he came to a ne- x:
gro's house on Mr. Rsaves' place to e
spend the night. The negro, though a
his kinsman, became very much s
frightened, fearing the whole crowd e
would be lynched if Melvin were e
found there and the woman of the '
house left. The negro man slipped c
out over to Mr. Reaves' and told him e
that Melvin was at his house. The t
arrest followed. The negro begged t
for his life, but when assured that he u
would be carried to jail he submitted
peaceably. Gov. Ansel last week of- li
fered $100 reward for the capture of t
the murderer. This amount was S
supplemented by $50 by the father t
of the murdered man. At no time b
since the killing have the people of *
Green Sea abandoned the search and e
had the negro been found by the pur- b
suing crowd he doubtless would have *
been lynched. Now that he is jailed d
it is thought that the law will be
allowed to take its course. It is not ?
thought, however, that the news of A
the capture has yet reached Green t;
Sea. The negro talked freely about 0
the killing, claiming that he did not t]
intend killing Mr. Watson.' o
He said the gun was so easy on y
trigger that it fired before he aimed. 0
He states that he has been near b
Green Sea all the time except the day tl
after the killing, when he went to a c
logging camp near Whiteville, N. C., 0
where a white man told him that the s;
wires were hot and that he had bet- i]
ter hide. He then returned to Green ?
Sea. He claims that he has not slept tl
but one night since the killing, ten e
[ days ago. Sheriff Sessions has the a
! jail well guarded and is taking every c
precaution. . * *

Three Shot by Corporal.
Des Moines, June 13.?Corporal
Lisle Crabtree to-day probably fatal- b
I ly shot Capt. John C. Raymond, commanding
officer of Troop B, Second tl
United States cavalry, at Fort Des ^
Moines, shot and seriously injured vt
First Sergeant James H. Washburn cl
and Corporal Elijah Such, who at- b
tempted to disarm him, and then ^
shot himself, the bullet striking a rib b
above the heart and crushing the b
bone. He may recover. a'
Crabtree had been reprimanded by ti
Capt. Raymond because of failure 10 tl
report when a leave of absence tad tl
expired. He had spent the night in b
Des Moines and was to have returned p
to his barracks at 7 a. m. The cor- is
poral insisted he had leave of ab- tl
sence to 7 o'clock to-night. Capt T
Raymond acecpted this explanation, et
but later Crabtree demanded that he b
be transferred to another depart- tl
ment of the army. This Capt. Ray-|
UiUUU ICiUdCU IU UUUOXUUl , VU^
corporal he could not do that as long
as he was not a good soldier. r:
Immediately Crahtree drew a re- ci
volver and began firing. Sergt. i
Washburn jumped to his feet and "
grappled with the soldier, suffering a J
bullet wound in the hand and another
in the jaw. ?
Capt. Raymond seized Crabtree's
arm and was about to disarm him '
when' a bullet struck him in the 2,
neck, lodging in the spine. The cap- *
tain dropped to the floor, paralyzed. ,
A bullet also struck Corporal Such i
in the left arm. Crabtree then fired *
a bullet into his own body. .
Capt. Raymond is the son of Brig.
Gen. Charles W. Raymond, retired. ?
He was 38 years old. He was com- T

Central Texas Has no Cotton. ^
New Orleans, June 13.?The tt
Times-Democrat, in publishing its tt
first report on the cotton crop of ni
1909, will to-morrow summarize b<
f?nnriitinns as follows: m
"There has been a moderate de- r?
crease in acreage, probably about 5
per cent. Taking the belt as a whole, 01
the condition of the plant leaves ki
much to be desired. ro
"The supply of labor is fairly ade- el
quate, as a rule, though there is a
good deal of complaint in some sec- C?
tions." si
Among the reports from cotton in
belt of unusual features is the fol- st
lowing from Austin, Texas: h<
"That central Texas is without a
cotton crop, with half of the month ki
of June gone by, may be a state of m
affairs difficult to imagine, yet such tt
is the case, and to farmers of this w
section it is a sad reality. tl
"This is generally admitted ai
throughout the rural precincts, and tl
it is believed that the same condition
exists throughout the State and
most of the Southwest. The State
department of agriculture in this city "
confirms this statement. In fact, *5
there is so little cotton in the ground P(
that a comparison between the acre- j*
age of this year and that of last is
next to impossible. About the only d
cotton well grown at the present
time is raised almost .exclusively by tl
the 'hot house methods.' " m

Kills Bull With Stone. ?
o
Hastings, Mich., June 12.?Cleve- h
land Strow, a teamster, killed a huge tl
bull and probably saved the life of sj
David Purchis, a farmer living near k
Vermontville, by striking the animal w
in the head with a large stone, frac- ii
turing its skull. T
Purchis and a neighbor, Bert Hop- f<
kins, were leading the bull down the p
road near their homes, when sudden- t(
ly it attacked the former, knocking
h*m down and trampling him. It ii
had no horns and could not gore a
him, but Hopkins was unable to tl
drive the animal off. Purchis was be- p
ing roughly used when Strow came
along and picked up a stone, hurled V
it, striking the animal between the s1
eyes, and the beast fell dead. Purchis tl
will recover. r<
YOMAN IS FOULLY SLAIN
50DY OF MPS. V. E. GRIFFIN
FOUND IN A WELL.
Jloody Razor and Axe Tell the
Story of a Ghastly Murder.
Woman's Three Sons Held.
Columbia, June 11.?Another
iiysterious murder has been added
o the list which for the past lewcars
have shocked this community,
ccs-aliing in its cold-blooded atroltv
the killing of Maude Allen a few
ears ago was the gruesome find of
ne body of Mrs. Victoria E. Griffin
n tne well in her yard early this
uorning. Her neck cut in two places
nd a deep gash in her head told the
tory oz tne foul murder, of which
lo definite clue could be traced this
Qorning, and which was surrounded
/ith a veil of mystery and unusual
ircumstances. A razor with bloodd
blade and an axe with blood on
he end and the blade showed that
hese weapons were used in the killag.
At 5:20 o'clock this morning Poiceman
Salters, who has a beat near
he union station, was called to 611
lumter street by Russell Griffin,
he youngest son of Mrs. Griffin. The
oy told Mr. Salters that his mother
ras missing from the house and askd
the policeman to come to the
ouse and look around. Mr. Salters
rent and made an examination. He
escribes his search as follows:
"Being shown into the kitchen I
aw blood strewn on one part of the
oor near the table. On the kitchen
able was a razor which had blood all
ver the blade. After looking all
hrough the three rooms and kitchen
f the house I started out into the
ard to see if I could find any trace
f Mrs. Griffin there. As I walked
y the well I noticed some blood on
fie side of the wall. The well was
overed tip with the bucket on top
f the covering. I looked inside and
aw blood on the inner wall. Looklg
down into the well I thought I
aw something below the surface of
fie water. I reached down and pulld
up above the surface the body of
woman. She was in her night
lothes. I then went for a colored
rell-digger and together we were
ble to raise the body out of thevwa?r
by tying a rope around the
raist."
Mr. Salters says that there was no
o trorrrj frAm Kauca f a fViA
OUVTTU li ViU cut- UV LU VU^
rell and the appearances were that
le clothes had been placed upon the
roman after she was killed. There
as not as much blood on the
lothes as would be expected had she
een murdered in them. The axe
hich he found had one corner of it
roken off and it was here that the
lood was on, running up the blade
bout half way. There was no fraclre
of the skull of the woman, but
lere was a deep gash, showing that
le blade end of the axe must have
een used. A feature which is unexiained
except by those in the house
i that there were blood tracks from
le kitchen into the other rooms,
hie they say at the house was causi
by the young boy tra6king in the
lood, without noticing at first that
le blood was on the floor.
Snicide Theory Abandoned.
When Coroner Walker arrived
lere were a number of persons in
le house from the neighborhood,
o information could be obtained
'om any of those who lived on eithr
side of the house or across the
;reet. The theory of suicide was at
ace put up by the members of the
ousehold, which included two
lughters and three sons. This Corner
Walkeer abandoned at once.
her? was exhibited to him a twoiince
bottle of iodine, which the
lildren said was bought the day be>re
by Mrs. Griffin. This bottle,
hich was shown at police station
7 Mr. Walker, appears to be an old
ae, and if the stuff was bought yessrday
it was placed in the old bottle,
here was about one-half of the
idine gone. It is marked "poison,"
id the theory advanced by the chilren
of Mrs. Griffin is that she drank
le poison. Of course, this, while
irowing some light on a possible
lotive in the stating of it, has no
taring on the killing, for the woan
was killed with the axe and
tzor.
Naturally, the question arises at
ice: "How could the woman be
illed in her house while five other
emhors r?f familv clpnt?" TVio
dest daughter says that she did not
sar anything during the night that
lused her to awake. She says that
le awoke at 5 o'clock this mornig,
and thinking that it was time to
;art breakfast, went to the room of
er mother and called to her. * Rejiving
no answer she went to the
itchen door and looked to see if her
[Other was there. She saw someling
on the floor, near the table,
hich she thought was water and
lought that her mother had been up
ad cooking. When it was found
lat her mother was not about the
ird or in the kitchen her little
rother was sent for the policeman.
Mr. Salters says that when he arved
the other t wo brothers were
ing across the bed and did not apear
much concerned over the killtg.
The younger daughter, he said,
carried on" some, but the others
id not.
Coroner Walker says that when
le children told him that their
lother must have committed suicide
ley did show signs of grief,
ut he then went to work and found
ut some things, which, even if he
ad had any suspicion beforehand
lat it was suicide, dispelled the
ime. A hat pin was found in the
itchen, and the same kind of pin
-as fnnnri outside the house. show
lg that there had been a struggle,
his was in addition to the things
>und by Mr. Salters, the most imortant
of which was that the well
)p was on when he got there.
The well was searched this mornlg
to see if there could be found
nything which might give a clue to
le murderer, the water is being
umped out of the well.
Just after the coroner arrived G.
7. Medlin, who lives across the
treet from the Griffin home, came to
le house. He was placed under arsst
on suspicion. He was a friend
of the family, and is said to have!
visited the Griffins. It was thought
strange that he should come back to
the house so early in the morning? |
in fact, he was one of the first to ar-'
rive a ter the coroner got there.
Luke Lewis, a barter, was also
placed under . nest. Lewis is sa,i
to have been a / s.tor at the house
also to see ^ eldest daughter oi
Mrs. Griffin. Last night was Lewis's
regular night to call, it is further
stated, but tor some reason he did
not come.
Those placed under arrest this
morning are: Jim Griffin, age about.
19; Russell Griffin, about 14 years'
old, and Walter Griffin, the eldest \
son, all three sons of Mrs. Griffin, j
the murdered woman, and G. W. j
Medlin and Luke Lewis.
Mrs. Griffin was about 50 years!
old. She has been living here a,
number of years. Her husband ran i
a grocery store and later went to
Georgia, where he was killed by his
partner in the turpentine business.
Mrs. Griffin was twice married.
The razor found this morning was
said to have been the one owned by
the eldest son, but the razor case
found in his trunk does not correspond
with the razor.
The police and coroner worked
hard to-day to find some clue to the
murderer or murderers.
Still no Cine.
Columbia, June 11.?After working
all day on the case, running
down every plausible clue that
might shed some light on the murder,
Coroner Walker announced this
evening that he had learned nothing
that would tend to place the blame
upon the guilty person.
The scene of the crime was visited
again in the afternoon and a thorough
examination made of the kitchen,
where the act was committed,
me well into which the body was
thrown, and the lot at the rear of the
house, but nothing was found that
will materially aid the officers in
solving the mystery.
One theory is that the person who
killed Mrs. Griffin, knew where her
son's razor was kept, knew at just
what hour she arose in the morning,
and knew where the axe was to be
found; in other words the murderer
of Mrs. Griffin must have been very
familiar with the place.
Girl Marshal Makes Arrest.
New Orleans, June 12.?Miss Dorothy
Koch, 20 years old, recently appointed
a deputy United States marshal
by Marshal Victor Soisel, made
her first arrest yesterday.
Miss Koch, a pretty blonde, weighing
less than 100 pounds, was formerly
a stenographer and typewriter,
working in a wholesale establishment.
' Armed with a revolver, which she
carried in her handbag, she^cvent alter
Anardo Miguel, charged with
complicity in a violation of the immigration
laws. She found him at
his home and willing to go to court.
On returning to her office she
found that the revolver was locked
in the handbag.
Business Integrity.
A man whose life until recently
has been spent as a solicitor for
South Water street house?, writes
Forrest Crissey in Everybody's, recently
said to me:
"Nobody outside the street knows
how rotten this business is. Of
course there are some square houses
and some houses that are squarer
than others, but the business of the
street as a whole is honeycombed
with shameful and dishonest practices
and rests on a basis of fraud,
trickery, and crooked dealing.
"Once I went with the boss to the
Michigan grape district to solicit
Dusmess," ne continued. ine crop
was far enough along so that we
could tell about what to expect from
any vineyard we inspected. Prospects
were good, and the boss was
out for" a kiHing.
"One day we came to a little
house which was surrounded by a
splendid vineyard heavy with growing
fruit; it had been well cared for,
and there was no doubt that the crop
would be extra choice. A sad-eyed
woman came to the door in answer
to our knock, and the boss asked for
her husband. She swallowed hard
and finally managed to say that she
had buried him the Sunday before.
After talking sympathetically with
her for a while the boss told her he'd
like to handle her crop.
" 'It's all I've got in the world,'
she answered, 'and I must take care
to get every cent possible out of it. I
can't afford to make any mistake,
you know?it isn't as if I still had
Tom to take care of me.'
"I knew that the boss was a
mighty practical old pirate, but the
way he talked to that poor widow
completely pulled the wool over my
eyes and convinced me that he really
had a soft spot in his heart, and
would give her a square deal, as he
promised. Well, she sent the grapes
to us, and they were fine?brought a
rancy price. wnen me gin was
making up the accounts and the
checks for that week, she called out
to the boss and asked 'how about
Mrs. W ?'
" 'Pay her at the rate of nine
cents.'
"I was simply astounded, for I
had sold the shipment myself and
knew that the price he named was a
straight 'knock-down' of about twothirds.
Then it occurred to me that
perhaps he had forgotten the circumstances
in connection with the shipment,
and so I said:
" 'Jim, don't you remember that
she's the woman who buried her husband
the Sunday before we called?'
" 'What do I care?' he answered.
'Hain't her money just as good to me
as anybody's?' And that's the spirit
of South Water street and of the
produce commission business the
country over: Get the money and
keep out of jail. I'm glad I'm out of
it."
The Lesser Evil.
He?I see a recently enacted law
in Nevada provides that applicants
for divorce must be residents of the
State two years, instead of six
months as in the past.
She?-Oh, well, a woman would
rather put up with any husband for a
lifetime than live in Nevada for two
years.?Yonkers Statesman.
