that position. The question is whether
he will feel justified in making the nee
essary sacrifice Of his private business.
To people Of Chester and the neigh
boring counties it is useless to say any
thing Of Mr.. Glenns character or quail
ifications, and he Is we'll known to
many people in all parts Of the state.
1t is just such men that are needed
in public places, men Of pure life and
unquestioned integrity; men who can
look impartially at all sides Of meas
ure and make their decision matter OF
conscience. Mr.. Glenn Is not a politi-
clan. He has never sought an office,
and never held one before the one he
thrust upon him in connection with re-
ligious and educational matters and the
the administration Of municipal affairs.
unless we consider his membership In
the constitutional convention an office.
Mr.. Glenn Is admirably fitted for the
duty Of presiding over the senate. He
is always cool. He never gets rat
tied" He Is exceptionally fair. A
great deal can be said in favor OF Mr..
Glenn for lieutenant governor; but that
is not our purpose at present. We wish
the people Of the state to take his name
under consideration, and If he Is not as
we'll fitted for the place as any man that
offers, then they need not vote for him.

way of pair of dog tracks hundred
years old. They are on a brick taken
from a house that the writer, when a
boy, about 20 years ago, heard an old
man, Sc years old, say he had slept In
when a young man. Last summer one

Thus do even dogs sometimes leave
footprints in the sands Of time!......
Sunday night, about u o'clock, as Po-
liceman Henry McManus passed the
Lancaster Mercantile companys stores,
he heard noise inside, and stopping to
listen soon saw some Negroes come out
Of the back door of the hardware de-
partment. He hailed them and they
| fired at him twice and ran. He return
ed the fire and took after them, follow
ing two of them, Capers Cauthen and
his son-in-law, Ed Ballard, to their
homes, who were arrested and Jailed.
Later, John Foster and Minor Billings
were also put in Jail. When the robbers
ran they dropped a couple Of valises
filled with stolen goods, suits Of clothes,
ETC., to the value of some $50. Inside
were other valises full Of goods. But
| this was not all that was stolen; pis-
tolls, razors, knives, ETC., are missed
that have not been recovered. 1t is sup
posed that in some way the Negroes
had gotten hold Of key that would
| fit some Of the locks. The names OF
Capers Cauthen will have a familiar
sound to the readers of the county pa
pers, for he has been in more scrapes
| than anybody, and in some way ne al
ways manages to get out; but 1t Is
thought that he has reached the end
of his rope at last. He Is the Negro
that stole a cow from a man, sawed her
horns off, then turned around and sold
it back to the man he stole 1t from.
