Sheriff Found Him in Georgia Turpentine
Woods.
Sheriff Graham went to Homerville,
Ga, last week and
returned with Ben Hanna, a fugitive
from justice, who was
wanted on a charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill.
Over a year a^o Ben, who is an
old offender and has "done
a? u a i i r
lime more man once oeiore,
murderously assaulted another
negro, Peter Martin, and nearl}killed
him. Ben took "leg bail"

he vainly imagined, in the turpentine
forest. But the strong
arm of the law prevailed and
now Ben is pretty securely in
its; rlntrliHC
His trial will probably take

GUS DE FORD CAPTURED.
Escaped Officers at Cades in 1905 1
-Captured in London.
^Gus De. Ford, with several
, aliases, thief, burglar and safe '
, cracke^ who on February 19, '
11905, made his sensational es- 1
1 cape from a moving train at 1
| Cades, in this county, while be- '
! ing taken from New York to
! Charleston in charge of a United
! States marshal and his deputy, (
; has at last been run to earth and
is again a prisoner. The daring
; desperado was captured in Lon- 1
, don, England, after a three '
years' chase by secret service
! men, who have been on his trail
: ever since he escaped,
j De Ford was one of the most
j reckless and desperate members
'of the gang of "yeggmen" that
i operated in this State with headj
quarters in Columbia for over a
' year, nine of whom have already
j been convicted and sentenced to
: terms of varying length. There ;
! are several postoflice robberies
j in this State with which De Ford
I is supposed to be connected, and
besides there are State indictments
against him both in South
Carolina and in Massachusetts,
jit is estimated that if convicted I
of the various charges against
him the cumulative terms of imj
prisonment would be beyond an
ordinary lifetime. In one rob
bery that of the Enoree Manufacturing
Co. in Spartanburg
De Ford's gang is said to have
got about 810,000.
The other burglaries committed
byW3e Ford and his pals!
would make a long chapter in
the annals of crime.

Donnell, and Philip Nelson, both
:harged with assault and battery
of a high and aggravated
nature, were given a preliminary
bearing here Monday before
Magistrate McDonald of Lane.
Both the negroes were in the
employ of the Atlantic Coast
Lumber Corporation and on
Thursday, May 21, they got in
a row over some "grub" and
after some words drew their
pistols and began perforating
each other. The Georgetown
train was on the track with a
number of passengers on board
and there were by-standers
within range in imminent danger
of stopping a stray bullet, who,
by mere luck, escaped.
The negroes really deserved
punishment, but for some unaccountable
reason the man who
swore out the warrant a Mr
Smith of Lane withdrew the
warrant and they were released.
Both participants were shot
up in the melee, one getting
three bullets and the other two,
in various parts of their respective
anatomies, but such cattle
are hard to kill and they will
doubtless soon be in shape to
raise some morecain in the wild
unfettered freedom of their lawless
instincts.
We understand that another
warrant was issued for the two
negroes and afterwards withdrawn.
The negroes were represented
by Messrs Lee & Askins, of the
local bar, and R C Snipes, Esq.,
of Georgetown.
New Railroad Laws.
After July 1st next, all passenger
coaches used within the State will be
provided with cinder deflectors, like
those used on Pullman cars. Au act
requiring the companies so to equip
their cars by the date named was
passed by the recent legislature.
The commission also wrote to the
railroad companies directing their
illlwUliULl IU illJUlllVi i*V/V |n*govw vj
the recent legislature, forbidding
public drinking on trains. This act
is really an old one revamped It
permits drinking in smoking comurtments,
closets, etc.

At ttie time ot his aeatn, although
not the ranking officer of the
G'onfedracy, Gen Lee was commander
in-chief of the Confederate
Veterans. Lieut Gen A. P. Stewart
of Chattanooga is ranking officer,
but on account of his infirmities he
has not taken an active part in the
affairs of the organization for many /jj
yi irs. ^
Gen Lee was one of the South

to the United States
Military Academy at West Point

At the outbreak of the
Civil war Gen Lee resigned his
command in the United States army
and entered the Confederacy. He
was severely wounded in the battle
of Antietam, when he was made a
brigadier general and sent to Vickl- / fP
burg. Gen Lee played a prominent
part in the siege of Vicksburg and
following tne fall of that city was
taken prisoner. He was later exchanged
and promoted to the rank
of major general and ordered to the
{Southwest. He was subsequently
assigned to the army of Tennessee,
with the rank of lieutenant general,
aud served until the close of the war.
Gen Lee devoted himself to the
education of the Southern youth.
He became president of the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical
College.
On the death of Gen John B.
Gordon he was unanimous]v chosen
commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans and was always
one of the most conspicious
figures at the annual reunion. Just
before his death he was making
preparation for the Reunion, June
8, at Birmingham.
Gen Lee held, under the United
States Government, the oflice.. of
commissioner of^-Hie \ lcksburg,
