One Other Arrest Made

VIM Rutledge, colored, is the
only party arrested since our last
issue charged with being implica,
ted in the wholesale stealing of
cotton in Pleasant Hill township.
The Sheriff expects to make about
five more arrests.
Mr.. Bridges has not yet found
all OF his missing cotton. Besides
five bales of ginned cotton, Il de.
ve'ops that a quantity of seed cot
ton had also been stolen from him
Mr.. A l. Rolllngs OF Oakhurst,
had two bales stolen, and the
probability is that others have
had quantities of seed cotton
stolen from them.

Taxes! Taxes!

Over half the time for the COL
lection of State and county taxes
has expired and only about one>
eighth of the taxes have been col,
lected. However about $1,000
more has been paid into the treas.
ury than had been paid at this
time last year. Everybody who
can should pay now and avoid the
rush which will come on later. 1t
Is very trying to have to wait
nearly all day for ones time to
come. Pay now and save this in
convenience later.

In Trouble, and Lots Of Ii.

Robert ThornwelI, colored, of
this place, seems to have gotten
into a peck of trouble ali of a
sudden. 1t is stated that one day
this week he stole black horse
from a party near Charlotte; that
he sold the horse to party at
Rock Hill on Wednesday; then
stole it again and resold it to an
othe, party. The sheriff here
wanted Bob on two warrants, one
charging him with breach of con
tract and another charging him
with house-breaking and larceny,
and as soon as he learned over the
phOre that Robert was in Rock
Hill he had him arrested and depu-
ty Wilson went over and brought
him here Thursday. He will be
tried at once by Magistrate Cas-
key for the breach of contract,
and when he has served his SEM
tence for that he will then be held
for trial at the next term of the
court of general sessions for
house breaking and larceny.
When this county gets through
with him the parties concerned
about the horse can get him il
they want him.

SHE HAD TAKEN LAUDANUM.
Husband Said Not. but Physfcf""
Had To Work ON Her.

DIR. Goode of the ambulance service.
had rather complicated and delicate
case to deal with yesterday afternoon.
The van was called to Cary and Carter
streets at SOS o'clock. and the surgeon
was told that Mrs. s. y. Adams. whose
home is near that corner. had taken two
ounces OF laudanum. DIR. GOode entered
the house and was about to begin work
on Mrs. Adams. when her husband came
over from his saloon and raised objection
TO the presence Of the surgeon. He denied
that his wife had taken the drug. said
she was not really ILL., and told the Doctor
his presence had not been sought and
was not desired
The Doctor being satisfied that the
woman had taken the drug, insisted upon
remaining to discharge his duty, and
said he would do so despite the husband
objections About this time a sister Of
Mrs. Adams's entered and said she knew
her sister had taken the drug, Tor she
had the bottle The husband resented
this and dealt the sister blow that sent
her to the floor
After this exciting experience Or. Goode
set to work on Mrs Adams, and con-
tinued for two hours or more. When he
left he considered her out Of danger The
reason said TO have been assigned by her
for taking the drug was that she was
tired. of living. She has two small chill
dren.
There were nine other ambulance calls
yesterday. but none OF the cases were
serious. youth named Louis Sears had
his foot badly mashed I'm an elevator at

,yTI-GoEBEL CONFERENCE.
Indignation Against Louisville Me-
tbods-COnyention Called for 10th.

LEXINGTON. KY, August "A poll
teal revolt in Kentucky was inaugurated
here to-day. The anti-Goebel conference
for the purpose Of calling a State con-
vention and nominating another Demo-
cratic State ticket, or part of one, was
in some respects perhaps the most re-
markable political gathering ever held
in Kentucky.
NOT MANY POLITICIANS.
The conference was composed Of lead
ing farmers and professional men, only
a few politicians being in the assembly.
1t was composed Of quiet, conservative
Democrats.
There was intense indignation against
the alleged methods Of the Louisville con-
vention, and a stubborn determination TO
check the operations of the alleged ma
chine. II was manifest from the begin
ming that the feeling was not against
the whole ticket, but against its head,
and although other nominations may be
made against those OF the Louisville con-
vention, the main opposition will be d.
rected towards the defeat Of Goebel.
THE GATHERING LARGE.
The gathering was larger than had been
expected There were 72O men, by actual
count. in the Auditorium. Thirty counties
were represented. DR.. j. NJ. Poyntz, OF
Richmond was made permanent chair
man. and w. II. Polk. OF Lexington, Ter-
manent secretary. A committee on reso-
lutions composed Of one from each dis
trict and two for the State at large, was
appointed. While this committee retired
to draft resolutions John Young Brown
was escorted TO the platform, and made
a vigorous, imprisoned speech. He was
constantly interrupted by applause.
ENDORSEMENT OF BRYAN
The Resolutions Committee recommend
ed the endorsement Of Bryan and the CHI
cago PLATFORM denounced the methods
OF the Louisville convention to secure the
nomination OF William Goebel; declared
that the report Of the Committee on Cre-
dentials OF the Louisville convention was
secured by shameful and fraudulent tao
tics: denounced "McKinieyism" and other
national affairs. and provided that con-
vention be held In Lexington, Wednesday,
