tURDERS DONE AT HEREIN, ILL. (Continued From Last Week.) The Massacre < 'racy says this man in the autobile then drove away while the ler led the column into the woods I commanded that "every fellow t has got a rifle come forward; i fellows that ain't go no rifles y back." Tracy estimated that >ut 500 men, carrying pistols, tes, shot guns, and all kinds of apons followed the prisoners into i woods. The leader lined the ip miners up at a barbed wire ice and Routed "when I give the , v-wiiiiiiuiivi every iniuw mv. At this order there was a rush , among the armed men to get close 1 up in front. Tracy says he could i "hear the puns cock as they pulled * up," Then came the order to run. Tracy ducked under the fence and fled at top speed, turning only to look hack and see men fall while their pursuers reloaded and shot into them again. Bernard Jones adds new details of the march and says that the column had covered about one mile and a half from the point where McDowell was killed when a halt was called by "a gray haired man, weight 100 to 195, aged 45 or 60, so gray he was white, stubby mustache, in overalls, waVitig * .45 caliber Colt who shout< *}: 4<I want to shoot all the * * T will ofcttime responsibility my?eyf.' " Jones tsays the reply made to this gray haired man was "We will take care of them when we get to Herrin." The march was continued about a quartet- of a mile further up the road when another fellow stepped in end made a speech, Jones says, about what should be done "to us on account of his beloved union brothers being bumped off the dav before or being killed." Under oath Jones declares: "The speaker said 4Boys I will show you what to do with them.' " This speaker is described by Jones as 5 feet 9 or 10 inches, weight 100, dark h/iir, dark compexion, dressed in dark clothes, carrying a revolver. One young fellow in the crowd to the speaker, "Listen buddy, don't rush things, don't go too <*a^t.; we have them out of the mine now, we will let it go at that." "Shoot 'em on the Run." to tnis the new leader replied: "To Hell. You don't know nothing, you have been here only a day or so, I have been here for years, T have lost my sleep 4 or 5 nights watching those scabs .and T am going to see them t;;ken care of." But the march was continued until the procession drew very close to the I ~ I All the WA 1 Real and pei I before Janua FOUF nTI For $300.00 F All and singular that tract of land known as A the Isaac McCray land, of lar or Branson land, contain- f /0. ing one hundred (100) y * acres, more or less, in less, Simpson Creek Town- ~ . ship, Horry County, ?ount South Carolina, and Town! bounded on the north by North the public road leading forme from Red Bluff, South nQ ?

Jones describes how, ci- this * K-int there came up fiom the rear a heavy built mail, dark complexion, Lvrk haiied, waving a Fedora hat," vho talked to the miners at the head >f the line* and asked who had operited the machine Run. This question was put to the prisoners who said they didn't know. At this point another leader \ap- 1 geared. Jones describes 1 him as 'heavy, dark haired, dressed in dark 1 :lot\ies, with black Fedora hat pushed >ack on his head and with him a revolver." Jones quotes this man as saying: "Listen men, I want to talk ' to you. We can't take these men to Herrin but it will be all right to take them out into the woods and field and start them on the run and then all of you cart get a shot at them." This plan prevailed. After a while Jones says, the order to fire came from the "leader and the rest of them, &ll of them." Jones heard them shout "come on you and start to run for that fence and field." It is Jones' opinion that several shots were fired before anybody started to run. From Eye Witnesses. Two St. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat reporters, seated in an automobile, pulled up at the edge of a road, saw the calvacade pass. They wrote as follows: "The advanced guard, rattling by in scores of flivvers had screeched the news 'We got 'em. They're coming.' And they came, the limping mine superintendent blinking and trying to ward off further blows." Others were .about as much battered. A semi-official account of what happened after the prisoners had passed a point to where the two newspaper men saw them is as follows: (Continued Next Week.) o CLINIC AT AY NOR The health clinic to he held at Aynor on Friday of this week is once more called to the attention of the fathers and mothers of that section of the county.

A total of about sixty children were examined. A number of these were found to be defective in one way or another and were referred to the clinic which will be held in Conway on December 7th, for further examination, and advice as to treatment. It is said, however, that, taken as a whole, the Loris children made a fine showing- all around. Some of the finest specimens of boy and girl appeared at the clinic. As a general rule the health and perfect standard of the Loris could not be excelled anywhere in this section according to reports made here by the county health nurse. TURKEY HIGH AS EVER WAS "For the few bales of cotton that fhe farmer this year raised The State hopes that lie will receive the highest possible price and so The State hopes in respect to all of his Droduct?*. including turkevs. But why is is the turkey crop is so small ?

"I he seasons have r.ot been good for turkeys, the rains have killed many little ones?but one can not help suspecting that had 25,000 farmer* of South Carolina, who did not strive successfully against the weevils, devoted time and silicitatious care to turkeys, the crop would have been five or ten times larger than it is. "The State congratulates the farm era and their wives and daughters who with diligence and unremitting attention have raised turkeys and now have them to sell at 40 cents a pound ?it hopes that they will receive even better prices for them?but is it not singular that so little of the energy and industry that were not given to cotton production has been diverted co turkevs ?

Clemson College.?Among the mos important steps in controlling the pin hole or shot-hole borer in shade an< fruit trees is to clean up thoroughl; .nil the refuse material in the grov or in the orchard. All primings o every description should be removei and burned. These recommendation hold in cases where the pest has no yet appeared, as well as in place where trees are already infestec Careless operation in even a health grove or orchard during the summe will attract the pests, and where re fuse is allowed to remain during sea sons when these pests are abundant it invariably leads to serious consc quences, warns Prof. A. F. Conrad Entomologist. Where anyone experiences troubl with pin-hole or shot-hole borer o shade trees at this time of the yeai we recommend that he write to th Extension Service, Clemson College giving information as to the kin< size, and age of trees, the kind c soil where they are growing an whether on terraces or on washe hill sides. In pruning the orchard special i\' tent ion should b<* given to the bore Heavily infested limbs that are hop less should be entirely removed, an where any trees are infested, the should likewise be taken out. The? shot-hole borers have a prefercm for trees that have been weakenc by. one or more of the folio win causes: 1. Scale; 2, borers; 3, lack < nourishmentExamination for one or more < these causes should be made ai proper treatment should be give Extension Circular No. 25, giving ii formation for treating insects ar diseases, may be had upon applici tion. a HIGH LIGHTS ON HIGHWAYS The Bureau of Public Roads of tl United States Department of Agi culture states that there are onouji trnU.'nlo,, 4-U~ TT...'i/.,l PI..I II.wi.WI in titer umtCU OIUU to take the entire population for ride at one time. 1 * T ,.
