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.

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. It soon was reported

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. Ab~out that time
