John Q Lewis Slain at His Home
Near Chester.
Chester, April 25:?John Q Lewis,
an old Confederate soldier,was murdered
at his home, three miles west,
of Cornweli.in this county,last night,
the motive evident!v beincr robberv.
as a watch and pistol belonging to
the deceased were missing. This
morning the murder was discovered
by James Dove, a farm hand, when
he went to the house to perform
morning chores, and the alarm was
spread hurriedly through the neighborhood.
Sheriff Colvin and deputies
arrived on the scene early, but
a vigorous search has not resulted in
the apprehension of the assassin.
It was at first thought that it
might have been a case of suicide,
but the finding of two wounds, one j
in the side and the other in the back
discounted this theory and the Coroner's
jury brought in a verdict of j
death at the hands of some unknown
party. However, it was necessary
to continue the inquest on account
a scarcity of testimony.
Mr Lewis lived alone, at some distance
from the nearest neighbor and
as he was a man of some means it is
the general opinion that he was murdered
for money that he was supposed
to have or. the premises. Most
01 ms money, nuwever, ?aa m mc
bank at Chester, and the sum of forty
dollars, which was in the house,
was not found by by the murderers.
ONE ON HIS EXCELLENCY.
Yeggman Walked Out of Governor's
Office, Escaping Officers.
Columbia, April 26: ? While a
United States marshal was waiting
in the outer office with a warrant
for his arrest, James Johnson, alias
"Portland Ned", who was yesterday
N, prroled by the Governor, walked out
of the inner office and vanished.
The Governor had the prisoner
i Li e *i? anil
urouguu 1IU1I1 UlC IJCuacimaij anu
he was waiting in his inner office
while the Governor was communicating
with the Federal authorities.
The Governor stepped out to the
outer office, and while he was away
"Portland Ned" politely walked out
of the private office and vanished.. I
This man served a seven-year sentence
in the Federal prison for dynamiting
a postoffice safe at Enoree,
in Spartanburg county, and was sentenced
to the State prison tor ten
years for the same offense.
Being paroled yesterday after
noon, a warrant for blowing a postoffice
safe at Plymouth,N C, in 1898
was taken out before Commissioner
Sloan and placed in the hands of
Deputy Marshal Senn. The latter
was waiting in the Governor's outer
office to serve the warrant when the
prisoner, taking advantage of the
Goyernor's absence from his inner
office, walked out and disappeared.
SOUTH CAROLINA GIRL
Resents Criticism of Her Native
State by Outside People.
Editor County Record:?
Why is our State ridiculed? Why
do the citizens of our sister States
laugh, or at least smile, when I tell
them I'm a South Carolinian? Why
do the citizens of Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia speak of her in
sneering terms? What's the trouble
with our Governor? Just the other j
day I glanced over a paper printed
in Oxford, N C, comparing our people,
who put Cole L Blease in office,
with a crowd in Virginia who are
trying to erect a monument at the
graves of the Aliens. Friends,doesn't
it make your blood boil, as it were, j
to hear our State thus "raked over !
the coals"? To hear people speak of
South Carolina?the best State in
the Union?as the "Blease State"?
Everybody whom I tell I am a
South Carolinian has a remark toj
make about her politics, her Govern- j
or and her Senator. I think it's time
for our citizens to wake up, open j
their eyes and so enforce our laws
that one will feel it an honor to be
from the old Palmetto State, and
not lower our heads when told that
Ben Tillman and Cole L Blease are
rascals. Friends, the truth stings, i
doesn't it?
Let's be up and doing with God's
v^in and make our State what His
? -.
all-wise providence intended it to be,

battle grounds of Lookout Mountain,

will be the 1913 Reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, May
27-29. The railroads of the Southeastern
Passenger Association have
made a thirty day rate of a cent a
mile. The War department has loaned
the requisite number of tents and
cots in order that Chattanooga may
suitably care for the 15,000 veterans
who are expected to attend,and who
will be lodged and fed free of all
cost.
The United So-s of Veterans will
hold their reunion at the same place,
May 27-29. They will bring with
them the usual bevy of beautiful
Southern women, as sponsors, maids
of honor and chaperons, all of whom
will be lavishly entertained by the
citizens of Chattanooga.
Enthusiasm and interest never ran
so high in the South over the annu
al reunion of the battle-scarred veterans
whose spectacular parade at
Chattanooga is expected to be viewed
by over one hundred thousand
visitors in that city of like population.
