So far Anderson has done nothing for the
Walterboro sufferers. Nearly every town

wards helping them, and we sincerely trust
our town authorities will at once take steps
towards raising funds for their aid.

and as we go to press, efforts are being made
by our Intendant to secure contributions to
help the sufferers in Waltoboro, He thinks
hc will secure ut least $50.
We had the pleasure of call on last

makes many friends wherever he goes, and

in obtaining good number of subscribers
at this place to the very excellent journal
he represents. Indeed, we can truly say
that the Chronicle end C0nstitutionalist is one
of the most progressive enterprising, read
able and reliable papers in the whole coun-
try. 1t and its accomplished agent have
our best wishes for prosperity.

Thursday morning. While q man was

charged with participation in the Franklin
murder in Abbeville County, broke by
Young Mr.. Mcconnell and effected his es-

prisoner started out, but the young man
closed the door and stopped him. Vigorous
pursuit was made after Arnold, who had
fed in the direction of Generostee swamps,
and after a short and exciting chase Mr..
Joseph R. FAINT, our efficient Chief of Po-
lice overhauled the fugitive, who was re-

will be more vigorously confined until time
for his trial. This affair tends to strengthen
the already extensive belief that he is
guilty of the offence which is charged
against him.
