4 Railroad Thief in Jail.

Last Tue sday night one Of the cars Of the
through freight from Charleston to Sumter,
Conductor Tilghman in charge, was broken
into and bale of calico stolen, while an
other bale was strewn about the floor of the
car. Special Agent G.. W. Arms of the
Atlantic Coast Line was Immediately tele-
graphed for and after learning that the
broken seal had not been discovered until
the train reached Wilson's he started for
that town. He arrived ut Wilson's We'd
desday morning and found that the goods
had been sold round about, and alter OBJ
tanning description Of the man started on
u hunt for him. He found his man sleep
ing of drunk about three-q quarters OF q
mile south of the depot. Mr.. Arms brought
him back to the station, where he gave his
name as Albert Jones, and confessed to
having taken the goods. When asked if
he had confederate be said he had, one
Will Smith. whom he had intended 10
meet in Charleston on Saturday.
He was brought to Manning Friday and
lodged in the County jail till Monday
morning when he was brought before Judge
Dickson for hearing. The evidence pre-
sented warranted the magistrate in remand
ing him to jail till the regular term OF
court.
The prisoner is a negro about 20 years
old, weighs about $50 pounds and is about
feet, S inches tall. He has gray eyes,
reddish kinky hair and light complexion
He claims to hail from Georgia, and it is
thought he IS one OF gang OF convicts
who escaped from the Georgia authorities
recently.
old fashioned Gnouerreotvye was
found on him when searched but he would
not tell where he obtained it. It is likely
he stole it and the owner may prize It very
highly. The case WAS 2 l-2 inches wide by
inches long OF ornamented black leather
and trimmed with purple plush on the in
side. The portrait Is that Of young lady
between l6 and Is years Of uge and from
the style Of dong up the hair and the dress
it looks as though it might have been taken
25 or 80 years ago.

Has all the devilment been shown
up? No. We are now satisfied that
men have fattcned on i'll gotten gains
from the Dispensary, and some OF
these have net been made to sQueal
vet, and they should be forced to.
II is notifying in the extreme,
after laboring so incessantly y, to be
forced to acknowledge that the cause
we labored for was allowed to be
sucked nigh unto death by gang OF
pilfering leeches. There should be
no letting up until every transaction
has been thoroughly Investigated and
if any of the prominent men, whether
thev be Governors, United States
Senators, State House officials, or
what not, are found to be the least
smeared with corrupt pitch they
should be exposed and, if possible,
punished.
We do not believe the smoking of
a few cigars or the eating Of some
canned peaches by a few subordl-
mates is all the sin that has been COM
mitted in the name of the Dispen-
sary nor do we believe that these
subordinates smoked the cigars and
ate the peaches with any crimina!
intent, but nevertheless, they had no
right to do these things, even if some
of the Board were cosnizant Of the
fact. But the result of the investlga-
ton has convinced US in the belief
that there are bigger fish in the pool
of corruption. Who they are will be
found out, for when "thieves fall out
honest men get their dues.

SummertON Notes.

The Summerton High school gave its
annual picnic under the grand old oaks at
SCOTS Lake last Friday which was largely
attended and immensely enjoyed by all
who were present, and especially by the
children, as their teachers, Mr. Calhoun
and Miss Mabel Cantey, did all in their
power to add to their pleasure. Rev. A. B.
Watson took quite number Of the smaller
children out on the lake which added to
their enjoyment.
Mr.. W. II. Strickland, of Atlanta, spent

Clarendon County had one who knew any
thing about conducting school, and how

"RECORD'S" "SEARCHING CUES.
TION'' ANSWERED.

IfLarry Gantt's hands are clean as
he says, he has by the "NIy Dear CLARK
letter created the impression that he
was ':fxin' to dirty them in short
order, and he did succeed in lnjur-
ing Scruggs. The TINES supported
Scruggs for reelection, because 1t
regarded him a thoroughly com
petent man and had confidence IN
his integrity. Our confidence in him
has not been diminished, for we do
not believe that his eating some
peaches and smoking some cigars was
done with the slightest Intention Of
wrong, no more so, than the giving
away OF lead pencil or writing pa
per to friend when be visits any
other Office. The writing material
for the various Offices is furnished by
the State and no one would accuse
a State officer OF pilfering, were be
to present friend with pen
Gil or pen: or other writing para
phernalia, and we are satisfied that
Scruggs would never have been &C
cused of wrong had it not been that
he made enemies Of some Of the en-
ployees in the Dispensary. We do
not intend to endorse Scrugss taking
the peaches and cigars, but we do
mean to say that he is more slnned
against than he has sinned. Scruggs
handled thousands and thousands OF
dollars belonging to the State and
his books show up to a cent; 10 one
has charged him with playing poker
with wbiskey drummers, no one has
ever heard of his getting a lot OF one
hundred dollar bills changed at the
banks. In fact, we had never heard
Of any suspicion against his integrity,
for that reason together with his un-
questioned ability we gave him our
endorsement. This is our answer to
the Columbia Evening ''Records
question.

''Lookcr On" Wants TO Lease The
Saloon Privileges.
Editor MANNING TINES

Editor MANNING TINES:
read your editorial in the last weeks
issue on the Dispensary. endorse your
sentiments. 1t is the best law on the SUBJ
ject We can get. next to prohibition, aud
the people are not prepared for that yet
if, as you say, it was let alone by the poll
ticians and lawyers, who hope to grow fat
by opposing it. But, as is well known,
they must have some hobby and they think
they cnn ride in on that IS there are so
many whiskey men who are willing to
spend thousands of dollars to get it abol,
ished so they can once more 60 into that
abominable trade, caring not who may
suffer, and bringing death and destruction
to helpless women a0d children, making
orphans Of thousands. How honorable
gentlemen can stand up % a court of JUS
tice bringing all their talents given them
by the good One above to destroy it, Is
something l, for one, cannot understand
In regard to its management you say if
the men in charge don't do their duty,
there are plenty Of honest men to fill their
places. There comes the trouble There
are plenty of honest men, but as every one
knows, the whiskey trade was always con-
sidered dishonorabIe, as the traffic was in
most cases done behind screens. For that
reason you will find it hard to get your
men.
Allow me to suggest an amendment. In
place of the State running it as they now
are doing lease or rent out the privilege
to the highest responsible bidder, payable
quarterly in advance and holding the
stock as security for balance of rent, and if
not punctually paid, close it up and lease
to other parties, giving the leaser the pro-
lection of the law against blind tigers, they
employing their own constables il they
want them. No liquor to be sold except
il original sealed packages as now sold,
and not to be drank on the premises. and
only to be sold IN the hours prescribed by
law. Let them buy their stock where ard
from whom they please-the worse the bet
ter. That would take law and politics out
of it, as the lessees would have to do their
own fighting and have no doubt that the
better element would do all they could to
protect them. The constables have been
an eye sore to many and l feel satisfied
that if it had all been left in the hands of
the good citizens it would have been |
watched closer By leasing, the State would
get more money and have no trouble with
it and the people would be better satisfied. |

Governor Ellerhe deserves the
praise of all good thinking people
for bis determination to put down
and expose corruption and we feel
satisfied that he will not stop short OF
a thorough investigation. He has a
herculean task to perform, and one
which will bring down upon his head
the wrath of those who are mixed up
in any wroDg-doing; nevertheless,
this class is composed of a very small
element, compared with the masses
who wish him well in his brave
Efforts to give to the people a pure
and healthy Government. There is
one thing we feel sure OF, that Gov
ernor Ellerbe will not lend himself to
making scapegoat of couple Of
subordinates, bat that he will hew to
the line for the chips to fal! where
they may.

The Columbia Evening Record
of the 10th inst, asks, "Were any
members of the State Board of Con-
troll elected upon pledges to Lesisla-
tors: Have they kept those pledges?
Ii not, why not?" 1t strikes US that
these questions are such as should be
answered very plainly and with en-
phasis. If any man now a member
of the State Board OF Control allow
ed himself shackled by pledges to
secure the votes of Legislators, then
the concern is too rotten to be man
aged By any such. We know the
members of that board, and strong
proof would have to be brought to
convince US that any of them went
around making pledges to get votes.
If they made pledges, let the public
know the nature of them. They had
no right to make any.

The Coosaw Mining Company
drew cards and made big bluff at
the State Of South Carolina, hoping
to scoop in '.jack pot" with about
$4,000. The bluff was so well played
that two of the Phosphate Commls-
sion laid down, but when Governor
Ellerbe picked up his hand, and cast
his eye at the pot to see if anybody
was shy, although Richland jury
has "verdictated" him non-betting
man, he called Coosaw,won the spot,
took cold feet and jumped the game.
Coosaw will simply have to hit up
against a softer guy" than El-
lerbe, if game Of bluff is to be
PLAYED. The final decision III the
Coosaw case will meet the approval
Of the people, and Governor Ellerbe
displayed good business tact IN vot-
ing against the demands made by the
Coosaw syndicate.

SOMETHING TO DEPEND on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm Of
Jones u Son, Cowden, H., in speaking of

physicians at Cowden and Pana could do
nothing for her. 1t seemed to develop in
