When Mr.. Cephas Kee was on the way
to his home in Oakland last Thursday
night, going by the near cut along
the S. c. & G. Elk. transfer track, he
had a close escape from what he be-
lieves was intended to be hold-up.
He had reached the Chatham avenue
crossing near the Chicora factory, and
had entered the shaded spot just be-
yond, when he observed that two men
that had been sitting on the embank-
ment arose silently and took positions
on either side of the track. Suspect
ing their intention, Mr.. Kee walked
back to the depot and notified Police
man Langley, who Immediately accom-
panied Mr.. Kee to the place; but the
men were not to be seen. On two 9TH
er occasions there have been indica-
tions Of an intention to hold-up per-
sons who had occasion to pass along
there at night. VIII Jones, colored,
who has been serving 18 months on the
county chaingang for breaking into
the Woodman hall at Leslie and steal
ing the badges, etc., was arrested by
Constable Wingate Immediately upon
the expiration of his term as a suspect
who is wanted at Hartwell, Ga, for
murder, a reward Of 500 having been
offered for his capture. Mr.. Wingate
had had some correspondence with D.
w. Johnson, who was then the sheriff
Of Hart county, and from some circum-
stances occurring when Mr.. Wingate
had taken another prisoner to the
stockade, he concluded that Will Jones
was Pearl Jones, who is wanted for the
murder. Indeed, he heard a'Negro who
knew Pearl Jones address Will Jones
by the name Of Pearl and he answered.
The man who is wanted is son of
Jack Jones, Of Hartwell; the prisoner
Is a son Of Jack Jones; but claims he
was born in Athens. Will Jones denies
any knowledge Of the killing. He an
swers the description Of the murderer,
however, but when Sheriff w. M. Kidd
and ex-Sheriff Johnson, Of Hartwell
came to Rock Hill for the prisoner yes
terday morning they failed to identify
him as Pearl Jones. They took him
back to Georgia, nevertheless, and II
he proves to be the man wanted, Sher-
iff Kidd will remit Constable Wingate
the amount of the reward, viz: 500.
CHESTER.
Lantern, October 1s: Rev. DR.. J.
Lowrie Wilson came up from his
brothers, at Bascomville, Wednesday
morning and took the Seaboard for
Abbeville. He was at the station an
hour ahead Of time and the train was
two hours late giving him three hours
to wait. When it was suggested that
he come back up town and wait more
comfortably, he said that be was be-
lever in final perseverance, and made
it rule not to turn back when he had
started. Senator Glenn Is one OF
the best farmers in the county. He will
make heavy crop Of cotton this year.
and this Is something that some who
give their whole attention to farming
will not do. OF course. most Of his
time Is taken up with an extensive law
practice, and the duties of a states
man, yet he always manages to have
good crops and keep good stock. His
crop Is better this year than 1t was last
year. He has already picked more cot
ton than he made on the same ground
last year. He has AZ acres that will
make IS bales. Much Of this must
make a bale or more to the acre, to
make up for thinner spots. The
