after spending one night there.
Colonel Leroy Springs, president OF the
Lancaster and Chester railroad, has
bought him a railroad automobile. 1t
was taken from here to Lancaster last
Sabbath, and the trip was made In
about so minutes. MRS. Eugenia
Jaggers, wife Of Mr.. James H. Jag
gers, whose illness we mentioned Tues
day, died yesterday afternoon. ..Mr.
J. o. Darby says that the farmers IN
his section are busily engaged in SOW
ing oats. He says that besides the ID
acres Of oats sown he will also SOW
about acres of amber sugar cane. A
great many Of the farmers are doing
likewise. He thinks that the yield
from his sugar cane crop will be great
er than from his oats. Not nearly SO
much commercial fertilizers will be
used as formerly, is his impression.
Lewis Johnson was committed to jail
yesterday for breaking into Mr.. E. A.
Crawford's store Wednesday night
The preliminary came before Magis-
trate Williams yesterday evening
When Mr.. Crawford came into the
store yesterday morning the iron bars
at one Of the windows had been priz-
ed out and the window was open, ard
a worthless two dollar check was miss
ing, giving evidence that a burglar
had visited the store during the night
An attempt was also made to break
through the back door Of Mr.. McAu'
ley's store, but he did not quite accom-.
plish his purpose. And on Tuesday
night an equally unsuccessful attempt
was made to enter Mr.. J. c. Colvin's
store. Policeman Anderson, suspect
ing Lewis Johnson, searched his house
and found a pair of pants which Mr.
Crawford identified. The Negro was
thereupon arrested and confessed. Il
will be remembered that he Is thf
same Negro that served a term III thu
penitentiary for breaking into the OK
press office a year or two ago. 1t /:
thought that Lewis Is connected will
a gang and that his arrest may leac
to further arrests.
