it was thought ho was not dangerous. He

has been q faithful and consistent member
of the Baptist Church for about twenty
five years. Iu- his death Williamson

Four negroes were arrested here on
Wednesday, End inst, one charging the
three with robbing him. The four were
placed in our little guard house until
next a. M for preliminary hearing, and
cut in twain an inch and half plank,
leaving nothing but the thin weather
boarding to rip of, which could have been
done in an hour, but day dawned and they
we're afraid to cut, for fear some one
would hear them. At 10 O'Clock Squire
Acker summoned them before him. At
fdavits were gotten from the four confess
ing guilty OF gambling. anG Lem Will
liams and Jim Jones Acknowledged being
guilty of carrying concealed weapons.
Bud galloway accused Lem Williams,
Jim Jones and Earle league with rob-
bling him, but upon investigation 1t was
found they only won his last stake gam
bling and he called 1t highway robbery.
The Trial Justice then turned them over
to three deputized Sherifs to take to An
derson for safe keeping. Bud. Galloway
has been wanted for some time here Tor
charge of theft, which will come against
him. We want a moral town and hope
the Court will give them the full penalty
of the law.
