SION upon Lne 1dmIy that the robbery
had been committed by some one of the
guests, although this seemed incredible,
as every name upon the list of those
present seemed to forbid the thought of
suspicion. The affair was put into the
hands of private detectives, who were
unable, however, to obtain the slightest
clew to the thief or to the property.
4 few DAYS later wealthy merchant
entertained a large number of friends,
and the following day wedding ring
and other jcwelry, in value about 81 900,
but priced far more on account of fami-
" associations, were missing. Every
nook and corner Of the house was
searched, and detectives watched the
servants, but mystery continued to sur
round the matter. Meanwhile, another
merchant held reception in his brown
stone house on a fashionable uptown
street. and also suffered loss during the
evening of jewelry, watches, and other
property valued at from $500 to $500
The articles in this case were in a room
where the gentlemen assembled, and the
theft lay between some one of them and
an old servant, whom the master Of the
house Immediately cNculpatcd, declaring
that he did not suspect him in the least.
The investigation of this theft also was
given TO detectives, who visited the
pawn brokers shops of this and other
cities, but none of the property was dis
covered. An entertainment at the resi-
dence of another weli-knOwn citizen re

Gov. HAMPTON ON SOUTH CAROLINA
PRosPRCTs.-On his way to Auburn,
Governor Hampton conversed with a
Herald reporter on the situation in
South Carolina, and gave a cheering
account. He says that all olassos of
the people are contented and secure
in their rights; that the colored pco>
plo nave once more gone to work;
that fair proportion have been ap>
pointed to Offices, and that all pros.
oription for any cause has disappear-
cd. That all parties arc now agreed
upon tho wisdom of the policy which
gavo tho State self government; and
he anticipates considerable omigra~
ton into the State, being in the res
ceipt of humorous lotters of INQUIRY
on tho subject of lands. The credit
of the State, he says, will be honestly
maintained, and all it's debts paid. Ali
this seems q little hard on the people
who oppose the Presidents Southern

Charleston and Darlington Wheel into

The election for Representatives
from Charleston county, and for q
Senator from Darlington county came
off on last Tuesday, the Goth ult. aud
as had boon anticipated, resulted In
signal victory for the Democrats. In
Charleston county tho Democrats
spurned compromise with the Ra-
dicals and put q straight ticket in the
field, which was triumphantly elected
by about 5000 majority. Tho Radi>
Gals, after failing in their compromise
ticket, throw up tho sponge and re-
tired from tho contest domoralizod
making no organized effort to oloct q
ticket, a largo majority of them re~
naming away from the polls, while
many of thom went forward and
votod tho Democratic ticket The
abstinence of tho Radicals from vot-
ing Is other an evidence of their weak
ness or q ruse to lull the Democrats
into belief that they arc secure
IN tho future, in order to surprise
thom and carry tho municipal olec-
tion in tho city this fall, and tho
general election in tho county the fall
following. Wo arc suro tho good
Democrats of Charleston will be on the
alert and not allow the Radicals to
gain any advantage ofthom in tho
next oioctions by thoir sooming in~
difference in this.

Jndorthe above hoad, the Charles
tor Journal of Commerce is giving
"brIof biographies of our new Law
makers" and in it's issue of tlIe I4tt
instantwo find tho following sketch
of Representative Bradley of this
County:
a.. THE HON. d. +. BRADLEY,
VI PickenR, was born September 5Ch
lo42, in Pickens County, s. g., and
received in youth such an education
as the schools in the community aE-
fOrded. Ho studied only the English
branches. and nevor had tho advan--
tages of a collegiate education. Ho
went TO Florida in 1859, and remained
in that State till the breaking out of
the war, when he entered tho army
as a private, in May, 1861, in tho Pen
sacoln Riflo Rangols, Company A,
Second Florida Regiment. He par
ticipatcd in all tho battles Of that ia
nous regiment, except whom disabled
/ by wounds. Under the act Of tho
Confederate Congress awarding mo-
dals to those who distinguished thom-
solves in battle, he was awarded a
medal for gallantry in the battlo of
Seven Pines, and his name placed on
tho roll of honor and published in tho
Richmond papers. Tho medals, how
ever, woro never issued TO tho SOL
'dicrs. Ho was made orderly sergeant
of his company in 1862; was severely
wounded in tho right shoulder in the
Seven Days battle, at Frasicr's Farm,
and was absent from his regiment
sixty days in consequence. lIo re-
joined his command at Martinsburg,

and commanded the company till dis
abIed by wounds, and retired from
active field service. He was in cons
mand of tho company in tho battle of
the Wilderness; was wounded in tho
hip, but remained on the field till his
left arm was shattered by minnie
ball, whom ho was carried off, and had
his arm amputated the same day. AT
tor recovering, he was assigned TO
enrolling duty, and ordered TO report

lis home in Pickens County, and re-
naincd until the war was over. After
ho close OF tho war he won't to school,
md then commenced teaching and
tudying to improve his own o!aca-
ion. In 1868 he was nominated by
he county Democratic convention

idont will evidently havo stormy

form measures Already tho republi-
cans Of Illinois, in their State conven-

solution endorsing the Presidents &C

That "Cool Suggestion

In sseoent articlol tho Nows and
/ Courier suggests that if the Commis-
sion, appointed at the roeent session
of tho 4cgislature, to Investigate the
Indebtedness of tho State, have it lin
their power TO visit New York, to OK
anime tho bonds, it would would be
cheaper for the bondholders there to
pay tho expenses of tho Commission
than to ship their bonds to Columbia;
and says the suggestion is, worthy tho
consideration of the Commission. The
Commission, under the provisions OF
tho joint resolution creating it, cannot
sit anywhere except in Columbia, but
we think it would have beon woll TO
have givon tho Commission power to
visit New York in tho progress of
their work, if they should doom it to
| tho interest Of the State to do 80, and
| 80 Expressed ourself at tho time of tho
passage of tho resolution. But tho
Abbovillo Medium, tho only journal in
tho State which advocates square ont
reputation, thinks the suggestion of
the News and Courier a"cool propo-
eition" in favor of tho bondholdcrs,
and concludes it's comments thereon
by the following unkind and ungcnor.
ous fling at those members Of the
Legislature who advocated the uphold
ing of the honor and credit of tho
State. The Medium says:
"lfit is so that tho body Of tho bon
dod debt is hold by Now York brokers,
then tho pIoa of the appropriationists,
in tho recent session oftho Legislature,
that the treasury would be flooded
with coupons, If tho interest on the |
public debt was not specifically pro-
vided for, falls fiat to tho ground, and
it appears that tho advocates of tho
$27O, 900 tax lovy oithor did not know
what thoy woro talking about or that
they wore playing into tho hands of
the bondholdors against tho interests
of the taxpayers and tho honest crod-

"Tho advocates Of tho 1910, 200 tax

and the honest creditors of the State,"l
