A Defiant Rapist at Large.

Information was received at this ofice about
FIVE weeks.ago that ooe John Q1incey Corbitt,
a white man, about City years old, of the
Sprirghill neigboorbocd bad sonetiIe 10
Jupe committed rape on the person OF q
negro girl, about ten or twelve years old,
and that on the affidavit of the mo'her Of the
girl, warrant had been issued by Magistrate
r Jennings for the arrest Of Co7bits. At
the req2est of parties wao hoped TO heve
Corbitt arrested Immediately no mention
was made of the crime, as it was
feared that additional publicity through
the newspapers might cause C'orbitt to Zee
the county. Is was stated at the time that
Corbi,t had taken to the woods, was heavily
armed and de6ed arrest. Since that time
Magistrate Jennings has made three trips TO
Spring Hill for the purpose of arres'ing
Corbit,, but has never been able to find him.
To-day he turned the warrant over to the
sheriff, and it now becomes the duty of the
sheriff to execute tbe warrant. There seems
to be 90 question of the gull; of Corbitt, and
be should be arrested if it takes posse to
accom- plish it,

BISHOPVILLE WANTS THE
ROAD.
Anxious for Branch Line From
Seabcard Air Lins to Sumter.

Bishopville, Aug. s-The suggestion
made by the Sumter lem in regard to
branch road from the Seaooard Air Line via
appreciation. Such road would cover a
large territory Of hoe farming country, and
to great extent devoid Of railroad facilities.
1t would give the merchants of this place
direct communication Uilb the great markets
of the north and northwest, aod put the peo-
pie OF this section in closer connection with
the State capital and With our own county
seat. 1t is hoped that strenuous efforts will
be made by the business men of Sumter and
BishopvIle to secure this road. The schedule
upon our little road here has been 80 lncon-
venlens TO the travelling public for the past
year that ont few persons going abroad make
use of it. For instance, ore wishing to 60
north to Baltimore or New York must ride
l6 miles in private conveyance in order to
get on the main line of railroad. Ii You
wish to spend one day in Sumter you must
20 to Elliott's 10 miles distant to take the
train. Any one taking the cars at Bishop
vile must make up their minds to spend two
nights and day 10 Sumter if they expect to
transact any business For these reasoDs q
large majority Of the people have adopted
the old plan of 20 years ago and go through
the country % miles by private conveyance
to Sumter.
The telephone wire has been placed in posi-
ton acd we now have connection with the

Two thoroughbred blood hounds have been
bought by private parties at this place. They
