(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

vho talked to the miners at the head

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:

DORIS CLINIC
HAS SUCCESS
The clinic given by the public
health service at Loris on Thursday,j
December 23rd, turned out to be a
success and was well attended by the
children and their parents.
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.

is the turkey crop is so small ? It
wq,s not iniured by the bool weevils?the

turkeys were advertised at 40 cents

"Before the war turkeys sold at

"I he seasons have r.ot been good

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

THE PIN-HOLE OH

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
