REPORTED FROM
FLORENCE.
Thirteen. Year Old Boy Taken
From His Home by A
Man Who Peddled
On Clocks.

Florence, Oct. 4.-What look
like a genuine case of abduction
has come to light il Florence
county. Last Friday morning
John Hayward, 13 year old boy
disappeared from his fathers
home in the Efiingham section,
Mr.. j. E. Hayward, the father OF
the lost boy, has been told by re-
sponsible parties that he was
seduced from his home by man
named Simmons. a pretended
clock peddler and tlnkerer. Moth
ing has been seen or heard of
Simmons and the boy since Fri
day. 1t is thought that they
went in the direction of North
Carolina. Simmons had been at
EfIingham for several weeks and
the people believed in him. Mr..
II. Hatchell knew of the matter,
but at the time thought nothing
of it. 1t seems from what he says
that Simmons had promised the
boy to take him to Florence and
leave him there, so that he might
return in the afternoon with his
father, who was In town. Mr..
Hayward is nearly heartbroken
over the disappearance of his
child. He has made extensive
inquiries with no success.
Since the seed cotton law was
repealed a great many farmers in
this county have been missing
their cotton, some in large guam
titles and others in smaller Quan,
titles. Mr.. J. w. Brunson recent
ly lost 800 pounds, Mr.. ID. NJ.
Josey about the same amount,
and Tuesday night over 400 lbs.
were stolen from the cotton house
of Mr.. Calhoun Hatchell. Yes
terday afternoon two of the
thieves, both negroes were caught.
1t is thought that they are the
principals in all of the thefts.
They will be severely dealt with.
Mrs. E. S. Herbert, president
of the Temperance Workers Of
South Carolina, made a practical
address before quite a gathering
in the Methodist Church last

Notes.

Rock Hill, Sept. 2S.-The
household of Winthrop has set
tied down to it's busy healthful
routine, and all is in readiness
for the winters hard studying.
The work on the new Dormitory
is progressing, and it is hoped
will be completed by January
next. This adjunct of the college
is much needed at present for
many of the girls are obliged to
board in Rock Hill or at private
houses in the neighborhood
Of the college. There are over
hundred girls not boarding in
the dormitory, and many more
were refused admittance to the
college because there was no
room for them. Winthrop and
Curry the two literary societies,
have both held call meetings,
and the names of some of the
new students have been pro-
posed as members. The active
members of both societies have
been canvassing for members
among the new students. Most
Of the Columbia and R1chland
girls have joined or will Join
in the Curry society. Misses
Nellie Boykin and Willie South

of Winthrop and Curry socie-
ties.

Our Soldiers at Georgetown.

The threatened trouble al
Georgetown has passed and
"grim-visaged war ha t Il
"smoothed his wrinkled front. y
The soldiers who responded sc
promptly to the call of the Gov
ernor have returned to their
ordinary vocations, and the
ignorant and ill-advised negroes
who tried to set themselves
above the law have been taught
q very wholesome lesson in
good behavior. The people of
Charleston have reason to be
proud of the alacrity and
promptness with which the
Charleston troops answered the
call Of the State, and with their
splendid conduct in the field
Their service was most highly
appreciated by the people of
Georgetown, Mayor Morgan
taking occasion to say to them,
before they left Georgetown for
their homes, that their quick
response in the hour of need
would never be forgotten by
those whom they had served
and that their presence had had
II most happy effect upon the
lawlessly inclined.
1t was a short campaign, but
it was very effective, the move
Inent of the troops from Char
lesion being accomplished with
true military precision, the only
delay being caused in the load
ing of the rapid-fire gun, which
had to be adapted to the
cramped quarters of the bag
gage car. The conduct of the
soldiers on the run to George
town and in camp while there
was all that the severest mill
tary regulations required and
while this was to have been ex-
pected, of course, it is worth
noting, because it demonstrated
the great value and Importance
to the community Of a we'll
disciplined and well-armed body
of citizen soldiery prepared to
sustain the civil authorities in
the administration and enforce
nent of the law.-News and

A GIGANTIC TUNNEL.
Two Miles Through Granite and

st. Panl Mimi, Sept. Dc
President Hill of the Great
Northern has received from Chief
Engineer Stevens telegram sta
ting that the immense bore under
the Cascade mountains have met.
The two forces working from op-
posite ends in the big tunnels

the work Of laying the tracks is
comparatively insignificant. the

that the tunnel when COM

Reasons for Attending the State
Fair.

Experience and observation are
our best teachers, hence the i'm
Portance of visiting the State
Fair.
Specimens of our finest grains,
vegetables, finely bred stock, in.
Guiding poultry, will be shown at
the State Fair, Oct. 29th to Nov.
2nd.
Liberal railroad rates for the

The honor of carrying off a
prize at the State Fair far out
weighs its intrinsic value.
Through the medium of the
State Fair all branches of in.
dustry, including live stock, have
been greatly improved.
How to encourage and keep
the boys on the farm ? Take them
TO the State Fair for sight seeing
and an object lesson will thus be
taught them to renew their efforts

STRIKERS STAND To-
GETHER.
They are Not TO be Wheeled
From Trust I'm the Union.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-There
were no developments of special
importance today in the
miners strike. An interesting
feature was the Reading Co.'S
notice to its employees that in
addition to its offer Of n 10 per
cent increase it was willing to
enter into arbitration with them
relative to any grievances they
may have. None Of the strikers,
however, have indicated their
intention to return to work.
A rumor gained wide circula-
tion today that President
Mitchell, Of the United Mine
Workers, had in conference
with the presidents of the coal
carrying railroads agreed upon
settlement Of the strike. When
informed Of the rumor Mr..
Mitchell promptly denied it and
said he had not been in confer
euce with either railroad Off
Cials or coal operators.
A secret conference Of the
leading officials of the miners
organization was held at Halle
ton. At its conclusion President
Mitchell said the question OF
calling n Joint convention had
not been considered. He added
that out of 142, 900 mine work.
crs only about 5000 are at
work, and these, he said, would
be out in a short time.
The time limit Of the Lacka,
wana Company's offer Of in
creased wages will expire to-
morrow, but strikers generally
express their determination tC
pay no heed to the offer.

A LAWYER ARRESTED FOR
FORGERY.

|
New York, Oct. 4.-Oapt. Nc,
Cluskey, Chief of the detective
bureau, announced tonight that
his men had arrested Lawyer AL
bert Il. Patrick and the valet.
Jones, for forgery In connection
with the case of VIM. M. Rice,
the Texas millionaire, who died
suddenly week ago Sunday.
Rice's strong box was opened
today. No will was found, but
there were secuI tiles estimated tu
be worth about $7,00O,O00. The
property will remain in the Gus
tody Of the safe deposit company
until such time as the chiet shall
be authorized to deliver them TO
some one beyond doubt entitled
to receive them.
The exact charge against Pat
rick and Jones is that the? iorg.
ed signatures to checks and as
sIgnments drawn by the late
millionaire.
The day following the death Of
MIR. Rice Mr.. Patrick took to the
banking house of S. M. Swinson
& Sons a check drawn in his fa,
vor and slgned by MIR. Rice, for
$4,000; another for $65,000 and
two checks on the Fifth Avenue
Trust company for $4,000 and
$135,000 respectively.
All these checks were submit
ted separately to Handwriting
Experts VIM. A. Kingsley, David
Nj. Carvalho and Mr.. Hagen Of
Troy, n. Y. They all examined
the checks separately. They
agreed In the conclusion that the
signatures were forged.
The experts found that an as,
slgnment purporting to have
been signed by Mr.. Rice was a
forgery. On the findings of the
experts the arrests were made.
Jones was arrested in his room.
Patrick was arrested at the office
of the New York Safe Deposit
company, where the vault con-
tanning Mr.. Rlce's securities was
opened. 1t appears that Mr.. Rice
made two wills. The first was
executed in Septe mber, 1896, and
was sent to Mr.. Rice's attorney
at Houston, Texas, Capt. James
A. Baker. Mr.. Patrick produced
a copy Of second will drawn by
him on June 80, 1900. In this
second will it is alleged that he,
Patrick, received about nine
tenths of the millionaire's estate.
The second will contained all the
benetlciarles mentioned in the
first and gave to them more
money than they had been be-
queathed in the first will. The
VIM. Rice institute for the ad-
vancement of literature, science
and art. at Houston, Texas, which
was to get nearly nine 'tenths Of
the property by the first will, was
cut out largely in the second will.
Il !s claimed that subsequent 80
the signing of the second will Mr.
Rice assigned and transferred to
Mr.. Patrick absolutely all his
estate and he, Patrick, agreed to
pay him an annuity Of 10000 a
year and to erect a monument
costing $4,000 over his remains.
