SHOREHAM.

Among the many movements in
the sheep trade, one ofthe most notable
one is the sale of half interest in the
ram Centennial, bred and owned by
j. T. Stickney, to f. & l.. E. Moore.
Centennial has proved one of the best
and most reliable stock rams ever
raised i'm this section. He was at the
head of the flock on which Mr.. Stick
ney received the prize of 800 at the
Centennial for the best flock of one
ram and four ewes of any age. Gen.
tennia's heaviest fleece at three years
old weighed 81 1-2 lbs; that fleece was
sent to the Paris Exposition with few
samples from the centennial ewes, and
on them Mr.. Stickney was awarded a
bronze medal. Messrs. Moore used
Centennial to portion of their flock
last season, and were so well pleased
with his stock that they have purchased
a half interest in him for the improve
ment of their flock. Their lambs this
year are very fine lot, much superior
TO any they have ever bred before.
We understand that Centennial will be
kept hereafter at Mr.. Moore's.

Arrests for Arson.

Five arrests have been made for the burn
ing of Maj. G. w. Anderson's store in Will
liamton, some two or three weeks ago. All
are whites, and now lodged in iaif Mt this
place awaiting trial ut the February term
OF the Court. These arrests were accoI;,
plished by the adroit management of chief
detective Alley, of Spartanburg, who pro-
cured an assistant, and this assistant habit
ted as o tramp, and assuming tn Is character
visited Lewis Ellison ct his home, gained his
confidence by representing himself % from
Georgia and having been there sold out.
greatly oppressed, and having himself burnt
the houses of his oppressors. Thereupon Ell.
itson confessed to having been an accom-
pHce in the burning of the store and i'm.
plicating the other parties now in iail. The
proof brought out from the detective
showed an organization of forty men,
pledged to take vengeance on any man
whom they might think wronged OF op-
pressed them; thatit was the intention of
the club to rescue any one of their clan
who might be arrested, aud take SUMMARY
vengeance on the man causing his arrest.
Ellison, we understand, has also made q
confession to one of the Deputy Sheriffs of
this County. Ellison now positively denies
shas &c 5T5f iiiauD any confession, or lnar
he had anything to do with the burning, or
knows anything about il. It is to be ehoped
that the guilty parties, will be discovered
and brought to punishment and If ELI
sons confession is true, it will be well for
the remaining members of this clan to re.
member that the law is stronger than any
combination of men, and that their unlaw-
fnl organization is nrenarine their .sap 10
