4 boy whe said his name was
Willie Cramer, claiming 10 be ten
years old, but who looked year or
two older, wandered into this city on
Wednesday evening last, about six
O'Clock. lie was housed for the night
by Mrs. George krewsen, who lives in
the upper end of the city, and was
turned over to Mayor Sergeant nj am
early hour the next morning. The
lad appeared unusually bright for one
of his age, and told very straight
forward story, the substance of which
Is as follows: Two winters ago he
ran away from his home in Millville,
n. j., and made his way to Trenton,
walking and stealing rides on trains
until he reached there. After arriving
at Trenton, he went about for a day or
two and finally arrived at the poor
honse there. While the authorities of
that institution were cOmmun icating
with his relatives in South Jersey, he
claims he became afraid and ran away,
arriving Mt Hopewell the next day.
Shortly after he arrived there. he
met farmer who took him in
hand and kept him until Wednes-
day of this week. On that day the
boy says the farmer came to him and
told him to clear ont, because he did
not want him any more During the
time he was with the farmer he said
he had to work very hard and received
only nickle from his master occas-
ionally for the work which he did.
According to the boy tale, the farmer
only bought him two shirts, pair of
oyeralls and one pair of shoes while he
was there and when he told him 10
leave he had no money in his pockets
nor did the farmer offer him any. The
boy struck out in the direction in
which he thought his native city lay,
but by mistake took the wrong di-
rection, arriving here at the time
stated above. The only clothes he
had when he reached here was a small
cap, a striped shirt and pair of blue
overalls. The wife of one of our
citizens fitted the boy out with pair
of pants and shoes and stockings. The
boy says his father is dead but that
his mother, whose first name he does
remember, lives in Millville. Overseer
of the poor Hurley furnished him
transportation home. He was to have
left on a Thursday afternoon train
but Hurley could not complete ar
rangements and he did not get off until
Friday morning. When told Of this
he was greatly disappointed and ex-
claimed, ooh, pshaw these Demo
Gratis never do what they promise to;

Perhaps the most ludicrous feature
of the campaign so far is contributed
by those few newspapers which claim
that, notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Bryan paramounted the is to 1
plank by imperialiy forcing it into the
Kansas City platform, it doesn't mean
anything and that the Republicans are
demagogues when they accept the
challenge and attempt to refnte the
declaration. When a party sets mp a
declaration of principles and then at
tempts to run away from it there is
sure to be confusion.

The Printing Committee of The COM
mon council have arrogated to them
selves the authority which belongs
alone to the council By resolution of
the council, many years ago, it was
ordered that all ordinances, annual re-
ports, advertisements of contracts. etc,
be published in both THE RECORD and
Tn Beacon. The printing committee
have taken the authority to annul this.
without asking the consent of council.
Perhaps they are running little coun-
ell by themselves. If this printing
committee has the right to cnt the ad-
vertising down one half, has not the
lamps and gas committee the right to
ent off one half of the electric lights
without the authority of council2 But
Ii that were attempted, they would be
called to book very quickly.

He Had No Money, but Had Nerve and
nm Easy Chinaman.
That there are more ways than one
to accomplish a thing IL man only
has the necessary nerve is illustrated
by the experience of q young man.
The young man tells the story himself,
SO there is no betrayal Of confidence
In printing it.
1t seems that he had big bundle Of
collars and cuffs and shirts at Chi
nese laundry a night or two ago, some
articles in which he needed very much.
The night was the furthest In the
week from his pay day, and he was
"broke" Still he had to have clean
linen in order to keep an important en-
gagement
Il didn't know what to do," he said
In relating the incident. 81 felt sure
that the Chinaman wouldn't extend
credit to me, for 1t is well known
thing that Chinese laundrymen never
trust At last I hit upon a scheme.
Going to my room, I bundled up oil
the soiled linen I possessed. Hurry
ing around to the laundryman's, l pro-
duced the bundle.
"'Sixty-five centsp he exclaimed
blandly, holding out his hand for the
coin.
'T picked up the clean linen and. de-
posting the bundle of soiled on his
counter, started for the door as IL my
life depended on my being half a mile
away within five minutes.
""That's all rightp I shouted back
In reply. Just mark it on that bundle,
and I'll pay you for both together!
"Then | was gone, but not before
caught a glimpse Of the laundryman
hastily unwrapping the bundle had
left, as If he was anxious to see wheth-
er or not the contents were worth the
65 cents l had hung him up for. He
was evidently satisfied, for he didn't
yell for the police or make any COM
motion, as l was afraid he might do,
and had all kinds Of freshly launder-
ed collars and cuffs and shirts to wear
that night. And all on account Of
bit of rve."-Philadelp Inquirer.

ALYNCAING THREATENED.

Considerable excitement prevailed
on the streets on Tuesday over the re-
port that Ed. Ballard, mulatto boy
about IS or 10 years Of axe had al.
tempted to assault Miss Sinister, who
was stepping at the Winnsboro hotel
with her brotber-in law and sister,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ely. Several people
heard the young lady scream about
O'Clock 10 the morning, and Chief of
Police Gilbert identified Ballard as
the boy that he saw running from the
hotel. Mr.. Gilbert shot at the run
ming boy, but did not succeed in
cstchirg him then. The-boy who came
out OF the hotel is said to have run in
a northerly direction. Ballard was
found short time afterwards at the
passenger depot, where he claimed
that be slept all night. The young
lady identified him as her assailant,
and he was lodged il jail. Sheriff
Ellison fearing lynchiug decided to
take the boy to Columbia for safe
keeping, and accordingly slipped him
out of the back yard Of the Jail and
put him in charge of Deputy Sheriff
S. B. Crawford, who carried the pris-
oner to Rockton. A party went in
search OF the negro, and found Mr..
Crawford with him in the road near
Rockton. They took the negro from
Mr.. Crawford, and awaited the ar
rival of.Mr. Ely. About this time q
gentleman from Rock Hill appeared
accidently on the grosnd, and ap-
proacning MIR. Ely asked him if he
had not been ordered to leave Rock
Hill, and he admitted that snch was
the fac'. While the party were not
disposed 10 pass judgment upon the
character OF the lady, yet it was
finally decided in view Of the tact that
those mostly concerned were perfect
strangers in Winnsboro further in.
