For once Esdaile's daring played him
false. He had been craning forward
and creeping steadily nearer during the
old mans speech, in order to lose not
a syllable of the strange cOllOquy,when
his foot went suddenly into an uneX
pected hole. and with a crash of under
growth he fell upon his face almost at
Jan Khan's feet. Before he could re-
cover himself. the soldier was upon
him, and there was knife at his
throat. He struggled violently to
reach a revolver but another man had
seized him by the arms, and a pair of
muscular hands. in which he recog-
nized none of the feebleness Of age,
pnioned him thus. Jan Khan rolled
him over his face toward the light. and
the five surveyed him, painting and

Valid Ali had taken no active part in
the proceedings of the last few min

had ben employed busly scrutinizing
Esdaile. He watched narrowly for the
faintest sign of blenching. and the re-

 Florence, March 12.-(Special) )-Wil- liam l.. Oliver, one of the best known men in the county, died the first of the week at his home near Rogersville, aged 76 years.
 The farmers of Cloverdale neighbor- hood are selling pork this year instead of buying it. Hundreds of dollars worth of pork has been sold by them this winter.
 The populist county committee has is sued call for a county convention in this city April IS, and for beat meetings on April II. It is not known what their plan of campaign will be. They are very few and far between in this county, and cannot hope to accomplish anything.
 The political situation is waxing warm in Lauderdale. MT. Clarke's visit to Florence last Saturday, while 1t proba- bly, did not do much toward strength ening Clarke, aroused the Johnston men to greater activity. A movement was started in East Florence this week for the organization of Johnston club. A can vass of the neighborhood revealed the fact that there was but little necessity for a club, as every one was for Johnston. Captain Johnston will be in Florence next Monday, and he will receive an ova- tion. This county will be for him by a large majority, unless there is a very great change in the sentiment of the people, which is not at all likely.
