Yhe Search For Lowry.
I 1\Kings Mountain Democrat: Since
our last report three Negroes have been
arrested for Jim Lowry. One at Wal
terboro, S. c., second at Little Rock,
Arkansas, and another in some Mary
| land town. In the meantime, several
dashes have been made from this place
into the adjoining mountains with the
hope of overhauling the fugitive. All
these arrests have proved erroneous,
and Lowry is still at large. A minute
description Of the Negro has been pub
lished in our state papers and certain
ly every citizen would know him were
they to see him.
fDucking on the Cntawba.
Clover Review: Captain w. B. Smith
and H. L. Wright returned yesterday
evening from duck hunt on Catawba
river. They brought in six large ducks.
While they had good luck and fine
sport, like everything else In the world,
adversely and prosperity, JOY and sor-
row are always mixing. In rambling
around they like true sports, got wet
up to the knees and when they got
back to camp they pulled or shoes
and socks to dry off around the camp
fire. Strange as it may appear the cap
tain turned in and forgot his shoes, one
of which was burned entirely and he
had to come home in his socks.
Come to the Meeting.
Prof. A. r. Banks, president Of the
York County Teachers association pub
fishes the following in the last issue Of
the Rock Hill Herald: County Super
intendent Of Education, ]. E. Carroll
has called a meeting Of the York coun-
ty (white) teachers for next Saturday,
October 26, to meet in the Graded
school building at Yorkville. Matters
Of more than ordinary Importance are
to be discussed. The main question,
however, will be the dividing Of the
county into districts convenient for
teachers meetings, when instructions
will be given to teachers by persons
selected for the purpose. If the plan
Is adopted and carried out, 1t Is evident
that we will all receive mutual benefit.
Then let all the teachers Of the coun-
ty try to attend this meeting, in order
that all may have a voice In formula
ting plans for the improvement of the
entire body of teachers in York county.
Let me, as president Of the York Coun-
ty Teachers association, urge each
teacher to come. We meet seldom
enough. Let the teachers rally at
Yorkville on the 26th be the largest
ever held in the county. Come, and
encourage one another"
Stole Horse and Buggy.
Mrs. Hannah Mason, who lives
short distance this side Of Wright's
Ferry, lost a horse last Tuesday night,
and it developed about the same time
that Mr.. Henry Baird, who lives near
Concord church, had lost a buggy.
An investigation during Wednesday
brought out the information that a
white convict named Will Harris, alias
Young, had escaped from the Meek
lenburg county chaingang on Mon
day or Tuesday, and had man.
aged to get across the river at Wright's
Ferry during Tuesday afternoon. He
stole the horse from Mrs. Mason, and
rode it as far as Mr.. Baird's and pro-
vided himself with a buggy. A tele-
phone message received in Yorkville
Thursday from Rocky Mount, down
near the Fairfield line, brought the in
formation that the horse and buggy
had been re-captured. The story was
that the man excited suspicion and a
