C. 22d McCullum, Murderer, Landed in Columbia Floyd McCullum, the nerc murderer who committed twc fiendish crimes in the Crow Creek section of Pickens county last week, was captured near Franklin, N. C., Friday morn ing by Sheriff R. R. Roark and Policeman H. A. Nealey, of Pickens, who were accompanied by Dover Hinkle and Fred Whit mire, of the upper part of the county. The officers took the prisoner on a branch line railroad from Franklin to Cornelia,Ga., where they changed to the main line and carried the prisoner to Co lumbia. The people in Pickens knew nothing of the capture until the negro was out of reach and well on the way to the pen itentiary. The chase for the negro began Tuesday night and was inces sant until the capture Friday morning, being conduct3d with great skill and fortitude. During that time the officers chased the fiend about 135 'idiles through swamps and mountains and slent but five hours and ate two meals. The negro had a long start and, at times the hunt seemed fruitless, but with cour age and determination which you seldom hear of except in novels, the officers pushed on. He had inquired along his route the direction -to Asheville, while at the same time he was headed for the Tennessee line. The of ficers came upon him in what is known as Sugar Fork,ten or fif teen miles from tne Tennessee line in North Carolina. The negro made no resistance when captured. He denied the crime, but admitted that he was in the neighborhood of the dead man's home on Monday night. He is known by the names of Floyd McCullum, Alex McLain and Clate Humphrey. A reward of $300 had been of fered for the capture of the ne gro, Sheriff Roark offering to pay $50 and Gov.Blease $250. It is likely that the reward offered by the governor will be divided between Sheriff Roark and Chief Nealey. Pickens county was greatly stirred by the murder of Hendrix and a lynching could hardlyhave beers averted had the negro been brought to-the Pick enis jail. The Seitinel- lat Week carriied an account of the crimes, which occurred Monday night in the Crow Creek section. McCullum killed James Hendrix, a white man, and criminally assaulted a white woman in thegame sec tion. It was Tuesday afternoon before the sheriff heard of the crimes. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that "James Hendrix came to his death caused hy some blunt instrument benievta to have been in the hands of one Floyd McCullum." Card From Mr. Robinson Feeling that great injustice and gross inequality is shown the old soldier by existing pen sion laws in this state, and de siring that efforts be made to correct some of the eyils, quite a number of the veterans had a meeting at the court house last Monday and* appointed a com mittee to ask me to run for the house of representatives in the approaching e16ction in their in terest and try to have some of the existing evils in the pension law corrected. I have considered the request of these honored men seriously and have tried to reach a con clusion where I could accede to their call av d place myself at their service, but cannot, Their cause is a just one and there are no men in the world it-would be a greater pleasure for me to serve than the old soldiers of the Confederacy, but circumstances and conditions of a personal na ture make it impossible for me to serve them now. I very much appreciate this evpression of their confidence and hope some day to be of ser vice to them. Respectfully, -C. E. ROBINSON. [Easley Progress please copy.] Card of Thanks Mr. A. M. Mauldin and family desire to express to their friends their heartfelt thanks for the kindness shown them during the recent ,illness of Mr. Mauldin. Also to Dr. R. 3. Gilliland, Dr. R. F.
