Thursday, Oct. 10, 1912. | ???mmmmmm?mmmmmmmrnt???? The Newberry Herald and News, a supporter of Blease, wants peace. So do the newspapers who supported Judge Jones, and all of us we feel1 rur? will he glad of the opportunity to quit thinking and writing about Blease and his acts and devote our attention to the upbuilding of our communties and the State at large. RMt tho mio^rinri is will Blease allow peace? He never has yet; in-fact his political success has depended on keeping alive strife and bitterness, in arraying class against class and keeping alive prejudice and factionalism. If the Blease people want peace (and certainly they should, as they are victors) let them prove it by their words and actions. Above all, the governor is the one to show whether he desires it or not. If he will act so as to retain the respect of the people who opposed him, all will be well, but he need not expect anything else but criticism if his administration doos not show improvement over the past two years. CHARGED WITH BURGLARY. Gus Sanders is Lodged in Barnwell Jail on Serious Charge. \ . Barnwell, Oct. 4.?Gus Sanders, a negro, was arrested yesterday and lodged in jail, charged with having robbed the drug store of C. N. Burck halter Monday night. An entrance was affected through a rear door and about 550 stolen from the safe, which \ was unlocked, only the day check being on. The negro had been in the habit of loafing around the store a good deal of his time, it is said, and a day. or two after the robbery he is said to have been in possession of more money than one in his circumstances would naturally be supposed to have. He is said to be a ne'er-dowell, spending his time loafing and gambling. Why He Declined It. A South Side young man who has a reputation for wearing the sportiest clothes to be obtained recently decided to give one of his very light suits to the colored houseman, says the Kansas City Star. The young man took the suit from his room and went into the yard, where the servant, who "is especially black, was working. "Look here," he said, "I've got a fine suit here which I would like to see you wear. The colored fellow took one look at the suit and exclaimed: "Lawsee, boss, I couldn't wear that suit. I would look like a fly in a bottle of milk, and you knows that's a terrible disgusting sight!" Accurate. Above the city editor's desk appeared this motto: "Accuracy, Terseness, Accuracy"?a motto that was hammered into every member of the staff with painful insistence. One day Sam, the latest cub reporter, sent in a news paragraph containing this mysterious statement: "Three hundred and ninety-one ovee u-prp fixed on the sDeaker." The delinquent was haled before the chief. ''Young man," demanded the editor, sternly, "what is the meaning of this rediculous statement?" The cub was not abashed, and answered quickly: "Sir," said he, "an old man in the audience was blind in one eye!" Read Herald advertisements and patronize our advertisers. OUTLAW'S SWEETHEART. Maude Iroler's Romance Like Story I ( Book. Mt. Airy, X. C., Sept. 28.^-It was the love of a woman that caused the 5 capture of the noted Sidna Allen and j Wesley Edwards. The love of woman < has been the making and unmaking < of many a man as well as of nations, j But all the world loves a lover, and { the story of the mutual love of Wes- i ley Edwards and pretty Maude Iroler , while void of the least bit of fiction, ' reads like a story from the books. t Maude is the 19-year-old daughter i of Frank Iroler. a substantial Virginia farmer who lives in Carroll I county. Virginia, about a mile from the home of Wcsiey Edwards. Two ? I years ago Mr. Iroler bought the farm c 1 he now lives on and moved from beI yond the mountains, where he had { formerly lived. He had not been set- \ tied in his new home many weeks i before Wesley Edwards became ac- 1 quainted with his daughter and soon c the two young people were seen often j ! ino-oHior Maude was an attractive, i j healthy girl and well educated for t the opportunities she had been given, i Owner (of Fine Horses. Wesley Edwards is not the type cf J ignorant blockader that many would f suppose him to be. His mother owns 1 a farm of 200 acres of land and keeps 1 her place well stocked with horses ' and cattle. She is the admirer of fine c horses and owned two as pretty ani- * mals as could be found in the coun- r try. One of the animals Wesley often used as a buggy horse hen he called 1 on Maude or carried her about the 1 ! country on visits to the neighbors on t ! a Sunday afternoon or to church 2 'when some minister had an appoint- z ment in the neighborhood. t - +-U * 4- TTr r\ For a year ana a nan me lwv young people were devoted to each t other and the day for the marriage was set. During all this time Wesley 1 had been a welcome visitor at the c Iroler home, and there was no ob- t jection to the marriage. s But the fatal fourteenth day of March came. On that day Wesley's 9ncle, Floyd Allen, was to be tried in Hillsville court for interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty. The Aliens were devoted to 2 each other and it was Floyd Allen who had always been the leader* of the family clan and a hero in the eyes of all the boys m the neighbor- ^ hood. Wesley went to the trial along with the others. He was to buy his c license at the county court house that fatal day and lead Maude to the altar and make her his wife the very next * ?the 15th of March, i The trial of Floyd ended and the massacre in the court room followed, in which the court officers were murdered and Wesley played an import- . ant part in that sad affair. Amuses Father's Suspicion. T Then followed his pursuit by the 1. officers and detectives and his life i as an outlaw. Weeks went by and no ^ one was supposed to know the hid- t ing place of the hunted man. The t subject of the hunt by the armed r bands of men who scoured the mountains was the topic of conversation l in the Iroler home almost daily, and t I it was noticed that Maude was al- i | ways disposed to excuse Wesley for i his part in the killing of the court c officials. t Soon the impression was made that t she was yet devoted to her lover and e was not willing to give him up now j that he was in trouble. = The detectives roamed the moun- c tains for days and weeks and finally ? left that section so far as the farm- l ers knew. The subject of the capture \ of the hunted men and their possible hiding place became an old story c and the people began to think the 1 two fugitives had made a final es- I cape. t About this time Mr. Iroler noticed t that Maude had been making pur- i chases at Mt. Airy that were unusual. 1 I The young woman had been to the stores and bought goods that were of more costly material than had t been her custom. His suspicions . were aroused and he is supposed to t have communicated his suspicions to the detectives who were working on J the case. Then began the systematic watching of Maude by the detectives. It was noticed that she would often ^ go with a neighbor girl to visit in j the neighborhood and that her ex- ^ cuse for being away from home was j that she was going to spend the night with some friend. c Detectives Knew Her Plans. j The. detectives watched to see if 1 she would lead them to some place i where she would meet her lover. < They were convinced that she was meetine him far back in the deep t fastness of the mountain, but always j she was accompanied by the neigh- ] bor girl, and try as best they could they could never overtake the lovers. ^ The detectives tired of that part ] of the game and quit. Then they < watched the mails and kept an eye j on Maude. She was known to be 1 more reserved than usual and made ] occasional trips to town where her 1 purchases were always known to the I OFFICERS ARE ACCUSER. "iiarged With Raving Assaulted Two U Xegro Girls. The Sumter Herald says "a warrant has been sworn out before Mag- n strate F. L. Player, of Shiloh, G igainst rural policeman C. M. Young tl ind Mack Morris, constable to the ci nagistrate. The warrant was sworn c; )ut by a colored man of the neigh- t] jorhood and charges the two men S vith ravishing his young daughters. } rhe men have fled, but it is believed :fcey are in tne neiguuumouu in niu- l; ng. Deputy Sheriff Epperson spent d Tuesday and Wednesday at Shiloli ti jut could not find the men. He re- b jorted that the negroes were much excited but that Magistrate Player ;ould handle the situation. "The story is that the two officers a ?alled for the two negro girls saying &" :hey had to take them before the s magistrate to bind them over as wit- ^ losses in a case. Their father wishid to take them but the officers re- ^ 'used to let him. At night the girls 1 eturned and told their father that :he men had kept them in the woods * ill day and had committed the deed. ~ The officers did not show up again md the next day the warrant was fc ;worn out. Morris is not popular in S( ;he neighborhood, and has a bad rep- J itation. Young heretofore has had i good reputation and his friends 1 iannot account for this affair except 1 ;hat he was drinking at the time." m d Ponlrai.*c To Kin ^ Lliruugll 11^111/ IM UMilXEV* O XUMAV? p Hammond, Ind., Oct. o!?The *>C joard of directors of the Indiana Har- d )or National Bank was in session in P1 he bank offices when 235-pourid tiary Dopa fell through the skylight F md landed in a sitting position on F he long table among them.

Donnelv Bennett, of Elber- H on, Georgia, by some special dispen- ** iation of Georgia law was a lawyer H md practicing when he was 17. His ? irst case was as assitant to the dis- L ,rict attorney in the prosecution of ^ l man accused of murder, says the q Saturday Evening Post. S The defendant had for his lawyer S tn elderly and dignified member of ^ he bar, who wore a long, flowing, voluminous beard. The bearded law- e er resented the interference of the o -outhful Bennett and constantly re- ^ erred to him as "this beardless routh from South Carolina." Bennett took it all in good part a intil the other lawyer began to rub u t in. Then he arose and said: n "May it please your honor, during q ny somewhat brief experience at the 1 >ar I have had the pleasure of readng after such distinguished law ^ vriters, as Blackstone, Coke and Lit- tl leton, and if I rightfully interpret hem it takes brains and not beard to ^ nake a lawyer. 4 i] "However if these distinguished aw writers be mistaken and the.gerileman who appears for the defense 11 s correct, I take great pleasure in j, lere and now nominating him for :hief justice of the supreme court of T he United States, as he has so much >eard and so little brains that he is iminently qualified to"fill that high )osition." / tl <3 letetcives.

Baldwin fi nade frequent visits to the neighbor- a lood. ? a Fattier Consents to Visit. c; It was a settled fact with the deectives that Maude and Wesley were n communication and that they inended to get married, but as to when md where not the least clue' could be ound. Ten days ago Maude began to express a desire to visit friends at High Point, a town in this State and a jj lundred miles from where she lives. 3er father kindly consented to allow ii ler to spend a week with her friend, ^ >n<i in finmp wav the detectives found ^ >ut the very day she was to leave tl lome for the visit. Her father o wrought her to the railroad station a it Mt. Airy and she bought her tick- ^ it for her supposed destination. p Little did she know that three de- s: ;ectives, the best and bravest of the :'orce, had joined her soon after she s eft this town. C When once she was in the city n vhere her lover had in some way di- 0 .ected her to come, the capture was ^ iasy. She met her lover^ and thus ?ave him away to the officers without S :he least thought of being the instrument in the hands of the law by tvhich he was to be brought to justice. \ FREE SEED HURT BUSINESS? nusiial Charge Against Indicted Virginia Postmaster.
