1 Negro Prisoner Att
Escapes; Recapl
On last Friday night at about 10:30 #
all Chesterfield was thrown into a
fever of excitement when it became
known that a negro prisoner, Eugene
Benbo, had assaulted the jailer, Mr.
J. T. Grant, and made his escape.
, The negro had been arrested borne
i weeks ago in Cheraw, charged with
L breaking into the railroad station and
confiscating about 15 gallons of
whisky.
. Mr. Grant says that his prisoner's
conduct hud been all that could be
e- - expected and he had no reason to believe
trouble was pending when he
entered the prisoner's quarters to
lock the sells on Friday night. But
as he swung the heavy door open he
received a terrific blow on the head
with a chair. Though he was felled
by the blow, he instantly recovered,
secured his revolver and yelling for
assistance, fired twice at the fleeing
culprit. In the darkness the negro's
steps could be distinctly heard as he
crossed Dr. Trotti's oat field.
Dogs were brought and within two
hours were attempting to follow the
fugitive's tracks. The hunt was joined
in by a great number of citizens
and interest remained unabated un- i
til his capture Monday afternoon in I
Bw Cheraw by Mr. Boan, mail carrier,
and Chief Pegues, aided by a negro.
Investigation at the jail developed i
that the negro had been supplied with i
tools through the grating in a window
and he had all but dug his way to 1
MILLIONS FOR LIBERTY; .
| ALL CAN HELP BEAR BURDEN <
"Two and a half millions for the i
cause of Liberty," is the slogan that i
has been sent out to South Carolin.
ians everywhere by the Liberty Bond <
Committee of South Carolina, in an 1
effort to place the State's quota of I
war bonds upon the market without I
delay.
June 5th, registration day, is the I
date chosen for the big drive. It is \
to be Liberty Loan Day, on which !
^ every man and woman in the State i
with a single dollar to invest will be i
called upon to rally to the support <
of the government and finance the t
war. s
Qnly a small proportion of the men I
will have to register, and of these u
much smaller number will have to go i
to the battle front; but practically i
every citizen of the State can do his \
^jPf bit by buying a fifty-dollar bond. i
Owing to the stupendous size of I
the loan, $5,000,000,000, it will re- t
quire subscriptions from rich and i
poor alike. Already the rich men of <
the country are subscribing by the i
millions; but will take much more
than this. Every farmer, large and t
small, every merchant, clerk, banker i I
and stenographer who has a dollar i
above actual living expenses is ex- <
fn Kmr ?? ? e.r*..

1 Qfferfng ^
acks Jailer And
tured 3 Days Later
freedom through the brick wall when
Mr. Grant entered that part of the
jail. Anticipating the attempt to fol- *
low him with dogs, the prisoner had
sprayed his feet with disinfectant and ,
was supplied with turpentine. His
precautions served him well, as the '
dogs were able to track him only short 1
distances when they would begin to .
cough and lose the trail. <
At several intervals when reports ,
reached town that he had been seen
in certain sections, large numbers of
men rushed to the scene, and there ''
is no doubt but they were on a hot 1
trail several times.
lie finally eluded their guard, how- '
ever and reached Cheraw, where he '
evidently intended to swing a freight 1
train.
Being very hungry, he called at a '
house occupied by one of his color
and sought refreshments. This man,
a law-abiding durkie, told Benbo
where to hid" while he went for the 1
food. He informed the lirst man he
met, Mr. Daniel A. Boan, who called 1
in the services of Chief of Police Pc- '
gues.
A $">0 reward had been offered by
Sheriff D. P. Douglass for the cap:urc
of the fugitive.
The prisoner was returned to jail '
Monday evening, where he now 1
i waits the extra charges of jail breakir.g
'and assault with intent to kill. J
Mr. Grant's wounds, though pain- '
ful, are not serious.
i I
ilse the loan will be a failure. Some
if the rich men of the country are
taking millions; and it is equally as
important for the small farmers and
nerchants to take their hundreds.
Mr. E. W. Robertson, of Columbia, e
hairinan of the committee appointed |,
jy the Federal Reserve Bank to push
he sale of the bonds in South Carolina,
said yesterday: M
"If there is one special message
hat the Liberty Bond Committee <|
.vould impress upon the people of ^
South Carolina it is that while money ^
a not more important than men, it is
ibsolutely necessary that the citizens ?
?f our commonwealth support with 1
heir treasure the men who must be f
>ent abroad to face the enemy on the
iring line."
J. Pope Matthews, also of the com- 1
nittee, said: "The government, as a '
riant corporation, has undertaken a
rigantic project, and the men and
I'.oiiiun of America are called upon to (
lecome stockholders in the corporaion.
It is purely a matter of investnent,
and dividends are payable, not ''
>nly in money, but also in life, liberty
ind the pursuit of happiness." -p
C. II. Barron, a third member of
he committe, said: "Liberty Bond
Jay has got to be one of the big days
n South Carolina. There must be no
lefeats on the battle front because

"Does the Liberty Loan moan anything

Thus question may well be asked
it. this time by every reader of this1

article to show as clearly as possible ]
just how every individual in this'

This nation is at war! It is probible
that the full import of that state
ment has not dawned upon the minds '
af one per cent, of our people. Dem- |

rani the world has yet produced. If
ive do not fight this mon.-ter on foreign
soil, we will be compelled to I

In order that an efiic ml army may
fie raised and drilled foi this purpose,
he government has set a date, Tueslay,
.June 5th, when every man be-1
ween the ages of 21 and 31 is orlered
to present himself for military
service.
Now here is where the Liberty j
.oan and you come in, Mr. Header. '
These men are to be equipped with ,
,11 the best fighting and defensive maerial
that science can devise. They i

think where this money is to come
| from?
This money could be raised through
i taxation. The government could dei
mand and take one-fourth of your
income, for instance, and without interest.
But this method has not been
resorted to.
To equip, feed and clothe these
boys, your boys and your neighbors'
boys, the government is offering to
sell bonds to you, you who do not
have to go to the front, and pay you
at the rate of 3 Vt per cent, interest
on them. As an investment these
bonds make a strong appeal because
they are absolutely safe, as safe as
your Uncle Sam. And they are tin- j
taxable.
tsui tnis is not an appeal for you
to make a profitable investment. It
is an appeal to your patriotism, to
<io your bit.
If freedom is not to perish from
this earth, every man, woman and
child in the United States must contribute
his share in the nation's defense.
Here is your opportunity: Buy a
bond!
Senator G. K. Laney, in talking of
this matter to the editor said:
"I want to know that those brave
boys will be abundantly supplied with
everything they need to make them
comfortable and to help them fight.
1 want to be sure that not one of
them shall be in need of a cartridge

at the critical moment, on my ae|
count.
That should be the attitude of every
man, woman und child in this
county.
You can help finance this war and
YOUR help is needed. You are not
asked to contribute, but to make a
perfectly safe investment.
A week, beginning Saturday, June
i?l, is set apart as "Liberty Loan
Week," the week in which you should
subscribe for your share in this great
fight.
Tuesday, when your boy, or your
neighbor's boy presents himself for
service, is an appropriate time for
you to buy a Lond that will equip him
for that service.
It has been estimated that the purchase
of every $100 Liberty Loan
Bond provide:, funds practically sufficient
for the equipment of a man
in the army. Therefore, the man who
is too old to fight or who cannot he
spared, or the woman who is unuhlc
to fight because she is a woman, hut
who is possessed of an income or
means sufficient to finance the purchase
of Liberty Loan Bonds, has an
opportunity in this way to do a part
of his or her hit.
A local committee to handle these
bonds is soon to be organized with
Senator G. K. I.ancy at its head. For
information as to how to go about
purchasing a bond, see either Senator
Laney or any one of the banks.

While the only sphere of intensve

here are indications that the stngnaion

o this impending change is the inense
