VERY SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST A TEACHER.
? Barney Lockwood, a LaurenS
School Teacher, Arrested.
Took Liberties with Pupils-Girls
Under II Years Old Complain
to Parents.
Special to The State.

Laurens, Nov. 1S-P Barney
Lockwood, school teacher of
this place, is in serious trouble.
For the past few months he has
been teaching at the laurens cot>
ton mill and everything apparent
ly was going along smoothly
enough until few days ago when
two of bis girl pupils informed
their parents that their teacher
had offered or attempted to take
improper liberties, not only with
them, but with several other girls
OF the school, all under u wears
of age. This information, of
course, incensed the parents, all
respectable citizens, who at once,
without Offering to do anything
rash, proceeded to swear out
warrants charging Lockwood with
indecent assault and battery upon
females under proper ages of con
sent. The arrest was quietly and
promptly made and Lock wood
committed to all. He waived
the preliminary and was released
upon giving the required bond,
5000, for his appearance at the
next term of court in February
next. .....
The matter has been kept very
quiet, not gaining publicity. prob
ably from the fact that legal
processes we've promptly rcsortcd
to, and another reason, the accused
man s family connection, which is
good and widely extended, he
having married an excellent lady,
no" dead, of this county only n
few years ago. Lockwood is a
man of fine intelligence, about SO
years old and has made a liveli-
hood bookkeeping and teaching IN
this and adjacent counties for the
past several YEARS
While there has been some TN
dercurrent rumors of taking the
matter out of the hands of the
law and melting out to the man
sure and swift punishment, it is
not at all likely to occur, as the
prosecutors have strong case
and are evidently willing for the
affair to he settled in the courts.
Splendid legal talent has been
employed on both sides, and the
case will he watched with more
than ordinary interest by the
public generally.
