J. L. McLaurin's Son Leaves Card
Bearing Message.
Bennettsville, Nov. 8.?A deep
gloom was cast over Bennettsville
this afternoon when a telephone message
was received from the sheriff of
Rockinghom counly, N. C., which led
to the belief that Thomas Breedin
McLaurin, president of the Mutual
Savings Bank of Bennettsville, had
taken his own life. Mr. McLaurin's
coat, shoes and hat were found on
the bank of the Pee Dee river and
on these was a card of Mr. McLau.ron's
on the hack of which was written:
"I thought it best to do this."
About the middle of the afternoon
today Mr. McLaurin had his chauffeur
send a public car to his office
for him. Mr. McLaurin left in this
car and nothing more was heard
from him until the message was reoniTrar}

Blewett falls, about nine miles above
Rockinghom, which is 25 miles from
here. Many men have gone from
here to search for Mr. McLaurin tonight.
Mr. McLaurin is the son of Former
Senator John L. McLaurin, and is
one of the most substantial business
men in Marlboro county. He has
large farming interests and in addition
to being president of the Mutual
Savings Bank, was also president
of one of the large cotton warehouses
here. So far as known, there
has not been the slightest intimation
that the financial status of any
of the institutions with which he was
concerned had been in jeopardy. Mr.
McLaurin was particularly well
known and well liked, and the entire
community is deeply shocked and
grieved by the report. Mr. McLaurin
is 38 years old and has a wife arid
one child.
DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL CAVERN.
Believe Section of Maryland County is
Undermined by Caves.
Iy '
With thS discovery of a large cavern
on the farm of Frank Baker, adjoining
the farm of Edward E. Hurtzell,
a Hagerstown, Md., banker, on
which a large cave was recently opened
by workmen blasting between
Keedsville and Boonsboro, it is believed
that a*large part of that section
of the country is undermined with
beautiful caverns.
It is said that the cavern on the
Hurtzell farm, in which gold is reported
to have* been found and claimed
to be a rival of the famous caverns
at Luray, Va., is outrivaled by
the newly found cave on the Baker
farm, which was discovered by James
Maddern and others from Boonsboro.
Baker has arranged for a thorough
exploration of the cavern. He believes
the cave is connected with that
v on the Hurtzell farm, and that the
underground passage may extend for
miles.
HARDING WILL SEEK
VIEWS ON PEACE
WILL CONSULT NATION'S "LEADING
MINDS."
On New Association.
List of Those to be Called on, HowBig
Party Secret With New
Chief Executive.
Marion, Ohio, Nov. 5.?Presidentelect
Harding already has begun fulfilment
of his campaign promise to
consult the nation's leading minds
with regard to a new association of
nations, and he hopes that by the
time of his inauguration next March
he will have laid the ground work of
a plan behind which the sentiment of
the nation can unite.
A list> of those to be consulted first
has been drawn up, and invitations
are going forward to several to come
to Marion at the conclusion of the
! month's vacation trip which is to be
started by the president-elect tomorrow.
Both Republicans and Democrats
are to present their views in j
individual and personal talks with i
Mr. Harding during the winter
months, but he does not contemplate
for the present, at least, any general
assemblage of his advisers for round
table discussions.
The names of those already invited
have not been made public, but
it w^as said in an announcement from
the president-elect's office tonight
that "men and women who have been
eminent in the discussions of other
foreign relations" made up the list.
The announcement followed a long
conference between Senator Harding j
and Will H. Hays. Neither revealed;
what subjects they had discussed, but j
it was understood the chairman's visit
here was made at Mr. Harding's
request, and had to do both with the
campaiga just closed and with the
policies to be shaped for the coming
administration.
v The objective of the senator's trip
is Point Isabel, Texas, and although j
he plans to occupy most of his timej
there hunting and fishing, another of
his campaign advisers, Harry M.
Daugherty, will accompany him.
Today Mr. Harding declined an offer
of President Wilson to provide
him with a battleship for the voyage
to the Panama Canal Zone, which
is to follow a twelve days stay at
PPoint Isabel. In response to a tele
gram from Secretary Daniels, 'con-1
veving the president's proposal, the
president-elect wired that he was
thankful but already had closed an
agreeement to make the trip on a passenger
steamer. That the plan for
conferences on an association of nations
already was taking form was
revealed in this announcement from
Mr. Harding's office:
Informal Conferences^
"Senator Harding let it be known
today that he is sending put a number
of requests for personal and very
informal conferences with men 'and
women who have been eminent in
the discussion of our foreign relations.
These conferences will take
place upon the return to Marion in
December, and will be individual and
personal, with the main purpose of
learning what policy may enlist united
support.
"Senator Harding means to avoid
any unseemly anticipation, but he
feels it wholly becoming to get an
expression entirely free from camnoiwri
Kioe o t-i f rw nrot if of flio AO f?
uiao, anu l w it at v^ui
liest possible day. It is the first step
toward the meeting of minds of
which Senator Harding so frequently
spoke during the campaign. He did
not make public any list, because it
will not be complete before his vacation
ends.
"Senator Harding further announced
that no consideration would be
given 'to a cabinet during his recreation
period."

Here, what's aoming off out

Ridge, Ark., as a wild clamor
arose in the yard.
"The baby was playing with my
fishing tackle," howled young Bearcat,
"and he swallowed a fishhook."
"Well, what the Sam Hill is that
for you to make such a fuss about?
Hain't you got no more fishhooks?"
NIGHT RIDERS VISIT DILLON.
White Residents of Pee Dee Town Resent
Warnings of Visitors.
Dillon, Nov. 8.?Early this morn!
ing it became generally known that
the negro population of Dillon and
immediate vicinity had been visited'
j by a body of people styling themselves
as night riders from North
Carolina. Several cards were shown
today to white citizens of the town
and the card were captioned "We
are Here." They, admonished the
negroes to be in the cotton fields 011
.Monday morning with their families
and that they should not charge but
$1 per hundred for picking short staple
cotton and $1.25 for long staple;
also that they should' only pick for
people wno would pay these prices
and that Saturday was wash day and
that they should pick cotton for white
people. The cards were smeared with
red ink. They were neatly printed
in good type and were signed "Night
Riders from the Old North State."
Quite a lot of business has been left
by the negroes throughout the day
and they are fearing trouble tonight.
One family of negroes left today until
the excitement is over. A mass meeting
of white citizens was held here
this afternoon, condemning in the
strongest terms the work of the night
riders, and the officers of the county
are on the alert to apprehend the
guilty parties. The community is
not in sympathy with such tactics
and will not stand for it. There has
always existed throughout the county
an unusually cordial and kindly
feeling between the races and the
negroes as a whole of the county are
law abiding and industrious. They
claim that they have not demanded
excessively high wages for picking

have accepted the highest prices offered.

Squelched.
The handsome young woman, having
reached the street corner, seemed
not quite certain which direction
to take. A masher who had been
following her, seized his opportunity,
approached her and said, "Er, beg
pardon, but you seem in doubt where
you want to go."
"Indeed," she said. "Well, I'm
not in doubt where I want you to go."

A beautiful young lady was constantly
vexed and irritated Iby pimples
and inflamed eruptions upon
her body and face. Her face especially
pretty, was made ugly by
these awful blotches which usually
indicate eczema, or some similar
ciHn rash She found no relief un
til she tried Zemerine. This alleviated
the burning itching and restored
a healthy vitality to her skin.
