they were on the night Of the mur
der.
Governor Fllerbe on Monday
offered O. reward of one hundred
dollars for the arrest and convict
ion of the murderers, copy Of
his proclamation appearing as an
advertisement in another column.
The governor would have offered
a reward sooner, it is said, but for
the fact that up to last Friday no
less than nine men had been ar.
rested for the crime, and, until
then, he had received no official
request for the reward. The two
men who are now in Jail were ar
rested before the sheriff made the
request for a reward, so we sup
pose that should these negroes be
the right ones no reward would be
paid at all, Up to this time elev
en- men have been arrested for
killing the two Italians, and it is
hoped that the right men will YET
be caught.

We are informed that Mr.. w. A.
Webster, who resides near Lake

geniuses and is endeavoring to re-
duce the perpetual notion theory

structing a machine which he
claims will demonstrate the fact

the lumber produced in the belt is
of a very superior quality and he
prefers having his orders filled by
the mills in this section. -
We understand that Mr.. 8. Evans
contemplates erecting u steam saw
and grist mill at this place in the
course of a few weeks. He will
also put in cotton gin in time fot
the fall crop. This w i'll add another
industry to our town which will
eonduce to the material growth and
upbuilding of the place. We well
come all such enterprises and hope
the near future will produce still
greater developments along indus
trial lines.
The next thing to be done is the
establishment of a telephone line
from here to Lake City, and why
not extend it on to Kingstree? We
have no telegraph office here and
we are always behind in getting
the news. We want to keep up
with the outside world and we
think telephone communication
with other places would do a great
deal to change our elation.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA test was mage

bullet.proof cloth invented BY Casimer
Zeglen, the Krag-Jorgensen rifle being
used. The test was triumph for the
cloth, and the officers who were present
declared that the cloth had fulfilled al
the claims made for it by the inventor.
The firing began at distance Of 400
yards, the first bullet striking squarely
in the center Of the cloth, but the bullet
went no further than the first layer Of
the cloth. It was picked out with the
fingers, looking very much like small
toadstool. At 800 yards the bullet
pierced to the second layer Of cloth but
was mashed out Of shape. At $50 yards
the second layer was perforated and the
third penetrated. At 400 yards the
fifth layer Of the cloth was struck. The
officers present admitted that the bull
let's were stopped but say the cloth in
its present shape is two thick to be Of
