BRIDGEVILLB PREACHER ARRESTED
Charged With Breaking Into a Church and
Carving a Pistol


Bridgeville, March 1.-THE outcome
of the trouble between the old board
Of trustees of Redden African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church and the pastor.
the Rev. L. T. Robbins, resulted yes
terday in the arrest of Pastor Robbins,
two charges being preferred against
him by Jacob Cannon and Thomas
Cannon, president and secretary, re-
spectively, OF the old board of trus-
tees.
The first charge against the preacher
is that on March s last, with the aid Of
a hatchet, he forced entrance into Red
den Churoh against the consent of the
board of trustees. The second charge
is that at a recent meeting of the
board of trustees Robbins had re-
volver in his possession against the
Jaw OF the State.
The hearing was called for 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and long before
that hour several were congregated
about the office of Mayor Wiley, be-
fore whom he case had been brought
Pastor Robbins arrived just before 9
o'clock. and by that time the office
would not contain all those who sought
entrance Mayor Wiley read the
charges to Robbins. who stated that
he wished to take an appeal, which
request was granted. The case will
therefore be taken to the Superior
Court at Georgetown. which meets i'm

County Treasurer Caleb L. McCabe, of

Element with the Levy Court. Mr.. Me
Cabe announces that the jurors and wit
nesses of the coming term of court will
be able to realize cash for their services
instead of the county order which has
been the mode of payment for several
years past This is welcome news to
those men who have been compelled to
take an order and hold it for several years
before they could get the cash for it, The
present Levy Court deserves great credit
for It's persevering efforts in putting the
county ON a cash basis without resorting
20 borrowing
Many will understand this condition TO
bee the result of the recent issue of $4,000
worth of bonds by the county However
such is not the case. 1his money has
been used in paying OF the countys old
debts; some OF which date back as far as
1891 when $4,000 was borrowed from the
State at per cent. interest In 1873 the
county borrowed Sl2,5OO from the Farm.
ers Bank at per cent In 1893 $4,000
more was borrowed at per cent
old debts together with the unpaid inter
est ON them, thereby saving the county
from $500 TO $1,000 annually. Not one
dollar of these $4,000 has been used to
reduce the floating Indebtedness which
consisted wholly of county orders out
standing
Five years ago one could buy any
amount OF these orders at discount
ranging anywhere from 10 TO 20 per cent
/ Now a county order Is rs good as gold.
This condition has been brought about
/ partly 10y "a raise in the rate OF taxation
onc-tenth of 1 per cent being added in
1899, partly by the rebate law which
went into effect last year and partly by
the fact that the Levy Court has spen'
much less money than il has i'm year,
gone by. BE the causes what they may
the result has been attained and TN
