SOME SLICK RASCALS
Who Swindled Several Farmers IN
Laurens County.

A dispatch from Laurens to The
State says recently several farmers in
that county have been swindled out Of
sums of money ranging from $40 to
$50 by two well-dressed fellows Of
gentlenanly bearing who represented
themselves as agents Of a well-known
supply company Of Chicago.
H. NJ. Smith, good citizen Of High
Point. has sworn out a warrant for
the men and the warrant has been
placed in the hands of the sheriff.
Mr.. Smith holds receipt for $40
signed by B. F. Jones. He was duped
into paying this on the promise that
high grade buggy would be shipped
to him within y days, considerably
under the listed prices in the cata-
logue, etc., which they exhibited.
At the expiration Of the y days, no
buggy having come, Mr.. Smith pro-
ceeded to investigate the matter and
to his astonishment upon wiring the
alleged Chicago house he was advised
GhaU Cney emplOyeQ HO G[d'ellIS
agents and the men we're imposterS
and frauds.
In the meantime information
reaches here from a point in Georgia
that two men answering Jones' and
his companions description had been
operating the same scheme there and
are badly wanted by the authorities
in that State also. They travel by
private conveyance and crossed this
country two weeks ago, travelling east
ward.
1t is said that the same parties
worked the farmers of upper Richland
county and the Dutch fork Of Lexlng-
ton county and that warrants have
been sworn out in those counties for
the arrest of the ScampS.

Big Piece of Express.

The State says the Columbia ex-
press Office Thursday received the
heaviest express package ever known
in this city. 1t was a piece OF mas
siye electrical machinery for the new
glass factory, and weighing 2,O29
pounds, the express fees upon the
shipment amounting to sl2S. 1t seems
that this one piece Of machinery
was all that was needed to get the
factory in condition tor operation, ,and
the management being desirous or
getting it home in hurry ordered 1t
sent by express.

An Absurd Story.

Mr.. Franklin P. Shumway of Bos-
ton has written the secretary of State
asking for a statement as to the truth
of assertions that have recently been
made in the eastern States that in the
cotton mills of South Carolina there
are thousands Of little children, many
Of them not over six years old, who
work from 6 o'clock in the morning
till o'clock in the evening"" and that
when they go Ito eat their pittance
of lunch they fall asleep from sheer
exhaustion. This gives an idea OF
he extent to which the child labor
g iUation has gone.

in THE SUPREME COURT.
The Nixon Hold.up now Before the High
est Tribunal In the State.

The appeal in the Nixon mandamus
case was filed in the supreme court at
Topeka yesterday together with an
application for an early hearing. 1t
is expected that the case Will he heard
and decided within two weeks.
When the Democratic commi ssioners
came to town Saturday they had their
minds very nearly made up to ignore
Judge Gillett's mandamus and go on
and certify In accordance with the facts
regardless OF the Elwood fraud but all
the lawyers representing Walker and
order under protest and they finally
yielded. This will give us good
standing in the supreme court as well
as IN the eyes Of the public and the
charge of lawlessness can not be laid at
the door of Populists and Democrats.
Major A. M Harvey. of Topeka who
is working in the case was here to con.
suit and advise the commissioners in
connection with the attorneys here
and we feel that Messrs. Grouse and
Lake took tho proper steps although it
was bitter dose to all OF us.
However, tbs whole matter rests
with the supreme court and nothing
the commissioners could have done
could haye altered the situation. We
confidently believe that MIR. Walker
will be seated, but If he is not, the peo.
pie of this county will know who is re-
spOnsible and there will be a day
of judgement. 1t IS agreed on all sides
that he received the highest number of
votes. No party or clique of men can re.
tain the confidence and respect of the
people when they become parties TO
stealing an election.
The complete returns together with
the protest are pablished In another
colu mn.

with him on political and other guess

either our political or religious beliefs,
do not think in all our arguments he
ever said one word that was intended
to in the least wound the feeling of
anyone. He vas one of those men who

life was such that his friends were

never spent any of his time in findiug

with him, and his life was spent IN try.
ing to make this better world to live
in. He could not be changed by every
wind that blew. He was firm in his
convictions but always ready to listen
to reason and open to conviction. For
great many years he held to the
Baptist belief but of late years has been

So far as we know he got fair prices for
all kinds Of stock shipped.
There is as much if not more politi-

time during the campaign. But now
1t is all one way, whereas prior to the
election people were divided.
The entertainment given by the
Pleasant Valley school Friday night
was complete success In every partic-
ular. Even those engaged in getting
up the affair were agreeably surprised
w. T. Henson and j. R. Garner ship
ped 1876 nice young cattle In from Kan

them here. They are very nice lot of
coming 2 year old steers and ought to
make those men money as cheap as
rough feed is.
j. N. Stephens and D. S. Stephens
have both filed on claims In Beaver
county, Ok, and expect to make it
their future home. They are the kind
OF people that we would rather not lose
but our loss will be gain to Oklaho-
