It is certainly very gratifying, or
should be, to the people of Kingstree
to be able to boast a hotel?one that
offers larger and better accommodations
than ever before to the traveling
public. For about one year the
town has been without a hotel. The
old Kellahan hostelry was sold and
bought in by a company of publicspirited
citizens whose intention it was
to immediately give the plant a com- j
plete overhauling, making such necessary
additions and improvements j
as would render it suitable for travelers
or visitors to the town to stop for
a night or for a month. The work
was greatly retarded by the financial i
slump wnich hit us about a year ago,,
and it has been only by the hardest
efforts of some of our good citizens
that the work has lecently been partly '
accomplished, it was a pleasure 10
us to look it over a few days ago
and note the bright, freshly painted
and newly furnished rooms, several
of them equipped with private baths,
a lavatory in each room with hot and
cold water. The name has been
changed to The Kingstree Hotel, and
while the plant is open to guests under
very capable management, further
improvements are in progress.
While this newspaper is opposed to
lynching and mob rule of any kind
under any circumstances, anywhere,
any time, it does seem to us that this
practice is so common in Georgia
that we wonder why Judge Henry C.
Hammond of the Augusta circuit
should become so riled up over a
South Carolina mob entering his domain
in pursuit of two self-confessed
South Carolina murderers as to request
the Georgia governor to demand
an apology of Governor Cooper for
their acts. Of course it would be in
keeping with State etiquette for Governor
Cooper to express the State's
regrets over the affair to Georgia's
chief executive, but why does Judge
Hammond interest himself so particularly
in this instance when it's a mere
- v -.1
matter 01 etiquette Deiweeii uie mwernors.
GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Patrolman Henry Frank Brown of
the Columbia police force was killed
early yesterday morning near his
home by a negro. The department immediately
sent out every available policeman
to hunt for the negro who is
still at large. Brown lived at 2924
Lincoln street, Camp Forr_anee, and
for a number of years had been a
valued officer.

J. J. Collins, superintending engineer
of the Rollins Construction Co.,of New
York, which will build the S;intee
bridge approaches, having the contract
for this big jcb, plans to start active
wcrk on the project in J.e next few
days. Preliminaiy surveys have been
made and now it is a matter of assembling
material and organizing a
force of 300 or so workmen, who will
live in a camp at the site. The approaches
will be over 20,000 feet in
length, a portion of which will be of
concrete material. It will take some
two years to finish the work.
?James Marks, an eighteen year
a ?S
old negro, was arresvea in nurenre
Monday charged with attempting to
assault a thirteen-year-old white girl.
Fearing that trouble was likely to result
if the negro were kept in Florence
the officers arranged for assistance
and left for Columbia with their
prisoner. The assault was committed,
it is alleged, at a tobacco bam on a
plantation six miles from the city.
The girl was thirteen years old. She!
fought her assailant terrifically and
thus rendered his attempt unsuccessful.
The girl's body is reported to
have been bruised and the flesh on her
wrists torn. She identified Marks as
the man. Marks denied that he intended
criminal assault. As soon as
the matter was reported to the sher-'
iff's office deputies hastened to the j
scene in automobiles and surrounded!

?"Pink" Griffin, negTO, was convicted
at Greenville Monday of the
murder of Dr. L. C. Lipscomb at
Ninety-Six, and sentenced to die on
September 2. Immediately after being
sentenced, Griffin was carried to the
state penitentiary. Griffin was convicted
of the murder of Dr. Lipscomb
in a little less than two hours when
the jury returned a verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree after ten
minutes deliberation. Throughout the
trial the accused showed no nervousness
and a grin occasionally broke the
habitual scowl on his face. The crowd
which witnessed the trial was the
largest in the history of the court
house, old attorney's declared. So remarkable
was the good order that
Judge F. B. Gary publicly expressed
his appreciation of the forbearance
and conduct of the crowd. Testimony
showed that Griffin killed Dr. Lipscomb
at his home on July 5 following
a reprimand because he had beaten his
mule. The dead man was shot six
times.
A row which occu1 >d Tuesday at the
wagon works in Augusta. Ga. resulted
in the death of three persons and
the wounding of eight others by
shooting. The killed were B. T. Hightower
manager of the wagon works,
W. W. More, police officer and W.
Smalley, a colored chauffeur. The
trouble began at the wagon works
when the negro Smalley, chauffeur
for Dr. \V. W. Battey, one of
Augusta's leading physicians, and who,
it is said, had been struck by Mr.
Hightower earlier in the day, after
he had called the wagon works manao-pr
liar." returned with a shotgun
and shot Mr. Hightower to death. Mr.
Hightower at the time was talking
to Dr. Battey. The dead body of
Smalley was taken from the morgue by
a Georgia mob and burned to a crisp.

IN MEMORIAM
of our darling father, Mr. T. B.
Cooper, who departed this life one
year ago today; August 14, 1920:
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled.
The one his love had given,
And though his body slumbers here,
His soul is safe in heaven.
Our darling papa, we miss you so,
We miss you from our place.
All through the dry where 'ere we go.
We miss your ioving face.
And though God has called you home,
'Tis hard to have you go.
But some day hope to meet you,
On Canaan's happy shore.
How sweet and patient you always
were,
Thro' the lone mghts so lonely,
Shut in from the world's busy noise.
Waiting for daylight only. ?
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
Malting it sad and lonely,
Eut we'll meet again
Where patting :s past.
Written bv his daughter,
MRS. P. A. JAMES,
