Caught IL Thief.

a few nights ago, Mr.. Sidney
Robinson, of Edgmoor, had some
wheat stolen out of the house
where it was kept. The next
night he watched and caught IA
thief stealing his chickens. He
could have killed him but inten-
tionslly shot clear of him. The
negro dropped the chickens and
other things that led to his identi-
tication and fled for life. He was
sentenced by Judge Reid to 80
days on the gang. He acknowl-
edged his guilt. He said he
didn't know that it was gun that
fired; he thought he had stepped
on stick OF dynamite. Chester

Editor Buchanan, of Chester
Hears from His Long Lost
Ssn-A Sad Message.
Special to The State.

Special to The Stite.
Chester, Aug. 3O.-It will
doubtless be remembered bv some
of the readers of The STATE that
in 1892 Jno II. Buchanan, son of
Editor Jne. II. Buchanan of the
Chester Reporter, very suddenly
and mysterionsly disappeared
from home. He WAS only Is
years of age at the time, and his
father could find no trace of him
until during the Worlds Fair,
the year afterwards, he was in
formed in some way that his son
was in Illinois. He ut once went
to Chic'g 'go and though Illinois,
and at times would find some evil
dence of his son $ whereabouts,
hut he could never get to see him.
Several times since he has heard
of his being In different parts Of
the west, but he has never heard
direct from him.
1t has been u sense of deep grief
to the aged father to know that
his beloved son was living In
this land, but wenld not heed
any of the overtures held out to
him to return home. Mr.. Buchan
an has lived in hopes of finding
his boy and of persuading him to
return, hut today his hopes wore
blasted and his grief made more
undesirable by the sad intelligence
of Joha's death. A telegram from
Saltwater, M'nn,. brought this sad
news to the already grief stricken
father. Mr.. Buchanan has the
sympathy of this entire town in
this hour Of his sore bereavement.

in Askeion, Col. George Johpstone
the past master in tho art of satire
and ridicule and irony was done
up in knot by Senator McLau-
rim. That's what happened here
today, and the school of summer
swallows are fut,ermg around in
dismay and CONSERVATION. Sena-
tor AcLaurin's sudden and uneX-
pected appearances here was the
finest coup executed in State poll
tics in many day.
Having been informed that the
Iillmanite seekers of his senate
rial seat were making capital out
of his absence Senator McLaurln
determined to be present at the
Anderson meeting at any cost.
A telegram caught him just as
he was leaving New York by boat
for Norfolk and by hiring spe-
cial train from Seneca he arrived
here at two O'Clock. Less than
ten men knew 1T and although
very tired with the journey which
included eighteen hours of sea-
sickness he waded into the crowd
with gloves off stated bis case and
won fully seyenty-tive per cent.
of the meeting which was estima
ted at from Six to seven hundred.
No special courtesy was shown
him as he was told to open with
an hour to be followed by John
stone with the reply for McLan-
rin. In less than 20 minutes at
ter his arrival he was speaking. -
Col. Johnstone was evidently at
his best and made splendid
speech.
Commanding all his power cf
sarcasm he tried to hold up the
Senator as a forernnner of Repub-
llcanlsm and appealed IN turn to
the old war spirit partisanshir and
patriotism. He was freely APP
plauded principally by men who
will vote for Latimer. He buried
his old aati-rillman hatchet which
formerly he had with keen edge
and placed Tillman along with such
men as Calhoun, Hayne, Hamp-
ton and even Thomas Jefferson.
His placing of Ti'lman in the same
niche OF fame AS these was receiv-
Ell with great surprise by many
nero and serves to indicate what
strange bedfellows politics makes,

that each or the asplrants for Sen
