LANCASTER.
Review, February 13: Miss Emma
Jones, of Kershaw, has been spending
several days in Yorkville with her sis
ter, Mrs. J. L. Williams. ..... Mr.. Jake
Mackorell, Of Yorkville, was in town
last week.......Dr. Bays, presiding ell
der of Rock Hill district, passed
through Lancaster, Friday, on his way
to East Lancaster circuit, to hold the
quarterly conference. Mr.. w. R.
Tillman, whose dangerous illness was
recently noted in these columns, died
at his home in the Vanwyck section, on
Tuesday afternoon Of last week, after
this paper had gone to press. He was
one Of Lancaster county's most sub
stantial and progre ssive citizens, and
was held in high esteem by I'LL WHO
knew him. He was a successful farm
er, honest as the day is long, and died
owing no man anything. He was a
consistent member Of the Methodist
church. "A letter has been received
by Mr.. Porter, clerk Of the court, from
the Massachusetts, lady who has the
flag of 1.-THE Invincibles," explaining
how 1t came into her possession. She
says it was presented to her mother
during the civil war by man 10 whom
her mother was engaged, and Who died
in a Charleston hospital.

so run down that you can't hope for

quences is that the young men have to
find some other part Of the country in

that there is not another community in

had been guilty Of advancing teach

while I was making a talk in favor
of the treasurer and trying to minimize
the selectmen, as they called them, a
man of at least IS slouched through the
door and took a seat.

WHY THEY ALL VOTED ONE Way
In the contest of Buschow VS.. Hopkins
for the State senatorship Of the Thirty
ninth district, some remarkable testi-
mony has been taken by the commits
sioners. In one of the precincts of
Graham county, for example, state
of affairs was shown that makes 1t
necessary to throw out all Of the votes
cast.
In this precinct there are something
like so Russian voters who cannot read
the English language. When they ap-
peared at the polls two of the judges
went with them into the voting booths
to aid them in making their ballots.
One of these judges was Populist and
the other Republican; but the Repub-
lican could not speak the foreign
tongue, while the Populist could, and
therefore the Republican did not un-
derstand the conversation which took
place between his colleague and the
vo:ers. When placed upon the stand
this populist judge testified as follows:
Did these Russians tell you the
names they wanted marked on the bal
lots?" queried the commissioner.
"a few of them did; but most of them
did not" responded the election officer.
How, then. did you know what cam
didates they wanted to vote for?"
"Well, most of them said they wan
ted to vote for the ticket that majori-
ty of the people were voting for
What did you do them"
II marked the straight Democratic
ticket"
And, naturally, Mr.. Hopkins. the
Democratic candidate for senator, re-
ceived fine majority in that precinct

Prosecution Directs NOlle Pros of
Charges Against Calvin McGrue.
Prosecuting Attorney Mulowny entered a
nolle pros today in the case Of Calvin Nc
Grue, who was charged by Mr.. Robert
Leding, the jeweler. with the embezzlement
of $40. The young man was arrested in
Hagerstown one night last week, and
brought here by Detective Boyd. 1t was
alleged that McGrue, while in the employ
of Mr.. Leding. neglected to make proper
return of the amount, the allegation being
that he sold watch and kept the amount
he received instead of handing 1t to the
cashier.
During the examination of the case this
morning in the Office of Mr.. Mullowny the
prosecuting attorney was told by the lady
who purchased the timepiece that she saw
the clerk McGrue, hand IS over to the
cashier at the time she made the purchase.
She also stated that she heard the clerk
tell the cashier he would be responsible
for the balance of the money, $40 Her
statement substantiated the claim of the
defendant, and with this proof before him
Mr.. Mulowny nolle pressed the charge, ex-
onerating the defendant.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Leding's cashier
that the S. in question was not paid in
