MIDDLETOWN, N. Y.—All armed

Tonight lie battled his way out of
a corn field, where he was surround

The whole countryside hereabouts

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
HELD BY BEECH ISLANDERS
Major Harry Hammond
Presided Noted Afjri
cnltural Experts Deliver- j
ed Addresses Experi
ment Farm Site Donated
by Maj. Hammond.
Two hundred enthusiastic citizens
of Beech Island and the surrounding
territory gathered Saturday at the
Downer School to formulate plans for
conducting a local experiment and
demonstration farm, which wlii lie
operated under tig. auspices of the
national department of agriculture.
Many prominent speakers wei’q pros
enl and every phase of the situation
was thoroughly discussed.
Major Marry Hammond presided
over tho meeting and addresses were
delivered by Commissioner K. .1 Wat
son, of tho department of agriculture
and immigration In South Carolina.
Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of- the
University of South Carolina was
also present, and l)r L. A. Goodrich
represented the United Stales depart
moot of agriculture. In a short and
appropriate address Major Hammoufi
stated tho object of tho meeting, and
then introduced the speakers of the
occasion.
Dr. Watson's address was charac
terized as one of tlie most stirring
ever heard at Beech Island. He pre
sented facts and figures in tho
tion of a farm similar to the one in
question and reviewed tin* situation
In detail. He declared (hat he felt
sure the good resulting from the
movement under consideration could
never bp measured and that its In
fluence would spread out and take In
the whole state.
Dr. Goodrich, who Is connected with
th 0 bureau of farm management for
the national department of agricul
ture, outlined plans for operation of
the proposed farm,* and tie will make
occasional visit* to see how the work
is progressing.
The address of Dr. Mitchell was one
dealing witli the Importance of agri
cultural education, and he declared
that, while lie was the head of an in
stitution primarily designed for clas
sical education he realized fully how
much Booth Carolina needs agrleiil
tural and Industrial education, and
he hoped to see the time when the
common schools and tlie high schools
of tlie state would be taking agricul
ture under their care as. one of the
leading courses.
According to the plans outlined, fen
acres of land will b ( . devoted to tho
farm. Tlie land which will be used
will be n tract of ten acres which was
donated to tlie school by Major Marry
Hammond many years ago and Ih a
fair grade of upland. Twelve mem
bers of the Beech Island Farmers’
Club will cultivate the land, and the
club has also donated siqu to defray
additional expenses Incumbent In
operating the farm. It Is expected
that th< school children will derive
much benefit from tho work and Its
educational value Is almost beyond
comprehension.
After the meeting the crowd went
over to the Beech Inland Farmers'
Club house, where a splendid liHrlie
cue was served, and all present left
with the opinion that a greater fu
ture Is in store for Beech Island, from
an agricultural standpoint.
Miss Mary Estelle Jones of Ev
ans, Ga., Is visiting lur sister, Mrs.
Emory Casotj.
Mrs. Charles Connor left on
Thursday for a visit, to her mother,
In Griffin, Oa.
Mr. J. H. Murray has returned

school for the past few years, will

ile- honor of having a Hudson river
steamer named for her, the "Alma T.
v Idol to,” which Is owned by her cous
in, Mr. Follow
selected for the desperado’s ven
geance.
It was revenge that he acted yes
terday, for Abraham De.vo had testi
fied against him in an assault case
recently.
Latp this afternoon pursuers picked
up Monroe’s trail and tonight at
dusk caught sight, of him in a corn
field on the edge of some thick woods
about n mile west of Irelands Cor
ners. The posse surrounded the corn
field, but the members were afraid to
shoot Into it for fear they might kill
each other.
From each side of the fleid the far
merit and deputies started to work in
trampling the corn fiat as they went,
so that this would give no ehnnee
to Monroe to escape.
Four or five of this group won? flown
in a (lash, with their heads cut by
the sharp edge of the scale beam.
One negro who was in Monroe’s
way was' so badly wounded that It Is
feared he may dio.
The desperado made good his es
cape, and is hiding somewhere on the
mountain tonight.

In list reply, Governor Willson
commands th„ spirit shown by the
mass meeting and expresses his be
lief that those present can restore or

the outset of the depredations, eigh
teen months ago and carried out,
there would now be no need of sol
diers in the county.

siiulls and'arson have been committed
and n long list of orlmeH recorded.
And during all this time, lint one of
you wlio offer this pledge hus caused
the nrroat of anybody, although many
of the crimes were no open and aha i«-
lohh that ninny of you who signed
those resolutions not only knew of the
outrages, but knew where officers
could hav () laid tlmlr hands on the

] people of your county worn made to
feel that they could not rely for help
| on either yourselves or the peace of
ficers. And wlille you did nothing
j yoursolves, you never asked aid of
the stale government, but showed
hostility to tho state government's
measures to protect life and prop
