VLM LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER .27, 1920.NUBR1 DIEL OF WOUNIS Ileath of (reek King Itesult of Bile of Pet. Monkey Early in 3Month, ('oIl. ilton (Critical for Several 1ays. Athens, Oct. 25.---King Alexander of Greece died at -.:20 p. n. today. Ills death was due to wounds receivyed wh en a t;)et in ii key attacked him early in October, the king bet;ig badly muti lated. Tllrolghout last night ti( heart ar tion grew weaker, his general debility became lmor' p)ro0noced and puimon ary sylIpt(lis w('ee intense. lheathi ing at, iiines ,vas most dillicult and alar ming, and at noon today it was an notilneed that the kin gs coudition w\a.1 hopeless. Ding Alexander was born Aug. I, 189:8. Alexander succeeded to the throne of (reece in .June, 1917, wihen his father, King Constantine, ahdicated In response to the denand of France, Great Blritain and Russia, the three powers which had guaranteed the constitutional liberties of the Greek people. Alexander was the second son of Constantine and at the time of his accession was not quite 24 years old. His eldest brother, Crown Prince George, was considered ineligi ble for the throne because of alleged pro-German sympathies. In any event, King Constantine nominated Aexander to .4ucceed him. The fall of Constantine had been brought about through the agency of the French senator, M. ,Jonart, who went to Athens in June, 1917, as a representative of the three great pow ers, on the ground that this step would establish unity of feeling among the Greeks and greater securi ty for the Entente forces then 01 erat ing in the Fast. Constantine had been accused of pro-German sympa thies partly on account of his mlar a ge to the Princess Sophie, sister of the then I10m:ror William of Ger many, and It also was charged that he had not acted honorably toward the Allies. Alexanzder, on the other hand, was reported to be free from pro-.German proclivities. Coidtant.:, left Athens and took up hi.: resi(ience in: Switzerlanl. Alexandrc' took the oath of office at Athens in August, 1917, and promised to car:. out the policy of his father. TIswa said to have shocked the I:ntente ier';"Is.

To the leditot of The Advertiser: It is said that history repeats itself every 50 or 100 yea r. but I did not know before that rime also did. IReading ill the !tapers of gin housesI bin hg burned bigs to mind a condi tion of thing;s in thel coutntry about 50 years a :o hien t had just at tained you1ng mianhood. The leaders of the radical party in the South had inelted the iglIoan t ne roe-. to burt the gin houses of the w hite people, ,.heir for mler niaster s, inl revengeful t pirit for I imagined injuries. A great many gin houses w ere burned and the owners either slept in them or hired some1 honest and faithfu l negro to do so. The difference now is that it is some low down, cowardly scanmp with white skin who is doing it or making his threats to do so. They ought to be ferreted out and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And if there is no law that reaches them, public opinion ought to make one strong enough to force them to leave the cotnmunlty, put the lashes on their backs or hang them to a limb. These may appear to be harsh words. They are meant to be for as I have 'before sitated the former burnings were about the time I had reached young manhood and brings to mind an event that came very near being a tragedy, with myself as principal actor. My elder brother and I were farm ing together at our father's farm and, our good neighbor, Col. W. W. Garlington, allowed us to gin our cotton in his gin toll free, we fur nishing the horse power. All gins were operated by horse power then. My brother and I took night about sleeping in the gill house. One night when it was my night to watch I was awakened by feeling rather than hearing a ,4light noise at the lint room door. Making my way noise lessly to a window directly over the lint room door I could see a dark object standing there. I drew hack the halmmler of my ,pistol and made ready to shoot as I thought one of the gin burners. Just as I was in the act of taking aim it struck me that it was. the longest man I ever saw. It seemed as if lie was on his all fours. "I'll wait a minute till lie strikes his mateh and then I can see better to shoot him," I thought, the night blhn.Z Very dark. I would not halt him for I knew he would run and I was afra'.id I could not hlit him in '.he de-l rk r'ning.
