Waylaid But Not Robbed

On Tuesday morning last, Mr.
Traxler, a drummer, had a thrill
ing experience on the public high
way about five miles this side of
kershaw. He was driving along,
about 3 o'clock, when he noticed
a man behind running to overtake
his buggy with an upraised club
In his hand. He had no pistol 80
hs put whip to his horse and OUT
ran the would be robber. Several
times it seemed that the feIoIw
would overtake him but he finally
gave up the chase.
Dir Traxler supposed that some
one must have heard him the
evening before at the stable order
the team sent to his hotel at Q
O'Clock the following morning, as
he wanted to make the trip to Ian
caster while it was cool, and have
observed roll of bills he exhibit
ed when paying for the turnout.
He thought the man had fallen
asleep on the roadside awaiting
him and that his buggy IN passing
awoke him. Thus he accounts
for his narrow escape.

ColOred Society Hall and a Cot
tage Burned.

Colored Society Hall and a Cot
tage Burned.
The coiored Burial Aid Society
Hall and a cottage on tho lot adj
joining belonging to G d Jones,
Esq, were burned about 4 o'clock
last Wednesday morning. The
Aid Society carried insurance to
the amount of 5000. Mr. Jones
had insurance of $3.50. on his cot-
tage. The cottage was occupied
by Capers Cauthen, col, who re-
Gently sold it to MIR Jones. 1t
developed after the burning that
Capers had policy for $3.50 on
the building taken out before he
sold it to Mr. Jones and of which
ne said nothing to Mr. Jones
about. 1t has further developed
that Cauthen was under the i'm
preston that he could collect this
policy notwithstanding he had
transferred the property, all of
which causes suspicion to rest on
him. The fire was undoubtedly
OF incendiary origin. The hall
where it originated, had not been
used that night and there was no
way for it to have caught afre.
Whom discovered the flames had
burst through the roof and parties
first at the scene say there was
every evidence of kerosene hay-
ing been used.
The house of Richard Belk, col,
also came near burning. 1t was
within IL or Is feet of the
Cauthen house and it required
hard work to save it. The color.
ed people here always work well
at fire but we don't believe bet
ter work was ever done anywhere
in fighting fire than was done on
this occasion.

Value of Phosphate.

The announcements of the sale of the
j X. Orr place, by Col. II. N. Soria, to
the Export Phosphate Company, of
New Orleans, at the ra of $1,000 per
acre. has attracted great deal of at
tention, since the price paid was the
highest in the history of the Mt Pleas
ant field. The announcement came as
quite surprise to many, but to our
minds, the price was, if anything, quite
low. The fact is, our owners of phos-
phate lands have heretofore practically
given their property away, and it is high
time that they were realizing this fact
1t is very poor acre of phosphate land
that will not yield at least 1000 tons of
rock. Figuring that this rock is worth
$1OO per ton in the ground-and that
price is now being paid-every acre of
phosphate land is worth at least $1,000
