The Greenville News has the fol lowing, of Interest In th'.s county: I). L.

Several hundred people assembled J early yesterday morning in Magis tr?te Stradley's office to hear the j case of the young man and all parties | interested In the case were In the i city ready for the trial. After a long conference it was decided to end the matter by a compromise. In an affadivit young McQueen ' agrees to leave the state forever, discontinue his affections for the young girl. In bis affadivit the young man swears that he holds the highest re gard and esteem for the young lady, and that his intentions of marriage were noble and pure and that he really loves the girl, lie agreed, after studying the matter over thoroughly. . that her tenderness of years must be a barrier between them and that he must learn to forget the firm steady face of the little girl. Following is a copy of the affadivit made by McQueen: State of South Carolina, County of Greenville. Now comes I). I.. McQueen, who. after being sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, deposes as follows: That he is now under arrest, but out on bond, pending a prosecution under Section 2N7 of the Criminal Code, for the unlawful taking away from her parents, .1. A. Cannon, and his wife, Lizzie Cannon, of Fountain Inn, South Carolina. their infant daughter, Grace, who, as deponent is now Informed and believes by her I said parents, will be fourteen years of age on February 28. 1910, without the j knowledge and consent, and against the i will of the parents of the said infant daughter. That deponent is 2 1 years of age. and. in order to correct cer tain mis-statements of fact In connec tion with said affair that have been published in several newspapers, and in order to exonerate said infant daughter and her said parents from any wrong doing, deponent now makes the following statement of fact con nected with said matter: That he has been acquainted with said infant daughter , Grace Cannon, only about six weeks, but deponent had never been formally introduced to the father of said Grace Cannon, and had never I ien introduced ac all to her mother. Deponent bad never been to the home of the said .1. A. Cannon, nor had he ever asked to visit said home, and deponent does not know that either said .1. A. Cannon or his wife, Lizzie Cannon had ever known or heard that deponent was acquainted with their said daughter. Deponent admits that he had several meetings with said daughter, at a near by home but that such meetings were always nccompan i led by the highest decorum in the presence of other persons. Deponent further says that upon the profession of his devout affection Tor the said Grace Cannon, he persuaded bei- to meet him on the street near the Foun tain Inn Cotton oil mill, where she appeared in company with a school girl friend, on the morning of Feb ruary 14, 1910, and that she did so moet him where he was writing with a buggy, and Immediately drove with her toward Woodruff. South Carolina. That such drive was was continuing toward Woodruff when deponent was overtaken by three men riding horse back, and within a few minutes there after, a number of other persons came up. and among them a constable, with n warrant, who immediately arrested deponent and carried him to Fountain Inn. South Carolina, and some of said party carried said Grace Cannon, in mother buggy, back to Fountain Inn and her home. That deponent has never seen the said Grace Cannon f lnce. and. upon being Informed of her extreme youth, and being roponiont fOr hlS Pet r>f ^n rpytntr lipr :, v. :. \ hf)8 made a resolvo to repress his affec tion for her, and never to approach' her again, and In reparation for the wrong he has done her by thus per suading her away from her parents and her home, agrees to leave the state of South Carolina, forthwith, and nev er to ronew his acquaintance with her l>y correspondence or otherwise, nnd never to come back to the state of South Carolinu.
