Newberry Rifles bot Supper.
The hot supper given on last Tuesday
night for the benefit Of the Newberry
Rifles was in every respect great sue
cess. The people of the town never
fail to respond when called on by the
boys. Although gotten up in very
short time, the supper was all that
could be wished for, and everything
passed off as pleasantly as possible.
The splendid band of music added
greatly to the occasion. One very
Interesting feature of the evening was
voting for the prettiest young lady in
the hall, the winner to be presented
with beautiful cake. The successful
young lady was Miss Emma Hale, Of
Clinton, S. G. The cake was presented
by Capt. S. J. Mclaughlin, who, OF
course, always knows just what to say
under such circumstances.
The net proceeds Of the supper were
SS5. This will 60 towards getting uni
forms for the Rifles, which they are
very much in need of.
After the supper had Leen served the
hall was cleared, and the young people
enjoyed themselves for several hours,
engaging in a most delightful dance.
The Rifles are making strong effort
to get a Confederate grey uniform, and
they deserve the support of the town.
Let every one help the boys as much
as possible.

THRICE WARNED.

The narrowly averted attempt at 4
hoinous crime near the limits of the
city and within police jurisdiction is
narrated in another column. Although
reported to several policemen, no official
action seems to have been taken to cap
ture the william and bring him to JUS
ticc.
The TIMES again speaks tho senti-
ment OF long suffering community
when it charges that the present police
force is so badly handled and organized
that it is incapable of properly guarding
tho lives and property of citizons, or of
following up crimir ais.
The responsibility rests primarily
with the police commissioners. AS they
have thoroughly demonstrated their
inability to handle the force, Council
has duty to perform. There are Sow
erai members of Council, THE TINES
is confident there is q majority, who
recognize their own duty and RESPONSE
bility in tho matter. Action cannot be
much longer delayed without serious
scandal. TIE TIMES for ono does not
propose to allow crime TO walk through
the streets uncht cked, without placing
the responsibility where it belongs.

AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT.

An amendment to section 24S5 OF tho
Code has passed both branches of tho
legislature and now awaits the Cover
nor's signature. This amendment takes
away from supplies the priority of lion
over bond and mortgage Indebtedness
of corporations, leaving the law as it
stands in many of tho States, whore
liens for wages alone have priority.
This amendment will undoubtedly re-
ceive the Governors approval. The
united testimony of bankers, CONNER
cial associations and capitalists has
been to the effect that the special
restrictions Of section ois5 has operated
to prevent the placing OF Virginia in.

where the law was known. It's amend
ment will be regarded as second in
effect only to the settlement of the

STILL INVESTIGATING,

The Committee Not Yet Able to Find Fan
ME Huddler's Money
The investigation made last night by
tho mmittee appointed by Council to
examine into the complaint mado by
Fannie Huddler that money taken from
her while a prisoner in the station
house had never been returned. failed
to show who got the money.
The first witness examined was ms
tice Williams, before whom the woman
had preliminary hearing. All be
knew about the matter was that at the
hearing an envelope was produced
which was said to contain some money.
He did not see the money.
a. j. Oliver, the lawyer who defended
the woman at the trial, was examined
and said that at the trial the station
keeper took the money out of the desk
and laid 1T before the Justice, but the
envelope was not opened and he did not
see the money. He thought tho station
keeper at that time was Officer Martin.
lie did not see anyone take the money
from the desk There was considera-
bio crowd OF officers and witnesses
crowded around the desk and anyone
could have easily picked up the envelope
containing the money.
Charles Byrn, from whom the money
was originally stolen, said that tho
money, at the time it was taken from
the prisoner, was counted by the station
keeper and placed in the desk. He did
not know the name of the keeper.
The committee was unable, from the
evidence. to decide where the money
went, and will investigate further by
examining the docket of the 18th of NAV,
1890, the day on which the case was
tried and find out, If possible, who had
charge OF the station house at that time.

Tho Norfolk Virginian prints an
article in regard to match between
Layton and Wongo. If tho prominent
sporting man referred to does not think
that ToM Brennan means business he
can easily find out whether he does or
not by accepting his offer. The article
is as follows:
THE ROANOKE TIMES, in speaking of
tho recent contest between McManus
and Spotted Horse, says Mr.. Thomas
brennan, Prof. LaYtons manager. says
-he will match Layton to fight the In
dian to finish for 81 200 side. or any

fin that Layton is the best man he has

in it; that he did not think Brennan

BUSINESS OF THE HUsTINGs CoUR,
Its IRecord for tho Past Year n Yer,
CredItable One.

Its IRecOrd for tho Past Year Very
Creditable One.
The clerk of the Hastings Court has
just prepared statement of the bust
ness transacted in the court during tho
past year.
The records show that during 1891
there were 635 judgments at law entered
for payments of money and 2l3 DEGREES in
chancery. Sixteen prisoners were con
prison.
This does not include cases which
have been dismissed or when judgments
were entered for the defendant and
parties acquitted. This gives some idea
of the business transacted in the court
during tho year.
