RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
Eighteen Year Old stephen Driggers
Don't Like Step-MOther.


Because of the treatment that has
been accorded him by his stepmother
during the last four years, Stephen l.
Driggers, an 1S-year-old lad, of Sum-
merviIle, S. c., left his home Sunday
and was arrested early yesterday
morning by Patrolman Unger at the
Plant System depot in this city.
The young mans father is S. P,
Driggers. a Summerville justice of the
peace, and the arrest was made on re-
ceipt of a telegram from him. He had
received information that his son had
left on an excursion train for this city,
and telegraphed Supt. Reilly to place
him in custody. officer Ungar, on duty
in the desk sergeant's office, was sent
to the station and met the train.
Young Driggers was in tears during
the greater part of yesterday and COM
planned bitterly of his arrest. He was
not assigned to a cell. but was per-
mitted to remain in the large, airy
room on the second floor of the station
house He said that his surroundings
were distast eful and that he would
willingly return home to three years
more of certain misery is he were re-
leased. During the morning the boys
father was notified of the arrest and
will come for his son.
Driggers was employed as a printer
in a Summerville newspaper office and
claims that he tried hard to get along
with his fathers second wife. His own
mother left six boys and a girl, and
according to his story the boys have
all been badly treated since the sec
ond wife has been in charge of the
home. The girl married and Driggers
says that his five brothers are too small
to go out and face the world, although
they are not treated as they should be-
His stepmother has two children, and
he claims that they receive all OF her
attention.
Because he had no one to sew for
him the young man claims he was
forced on many occasions to go into the
street with large rents in his clothes.
His stepmother refused not only to
help him get along but according to
his story made life a burden by ad-
ministering frequent tongue lashings.
Her treatmnt to him, he says, result
ed in several stormy scenes with his
father, and he claims that he was IN
vited to leave the house several times.
He thinks it hard that after matters
became unbearable and he had accept
ed the oft-extended invitation, that he
should be arrested like a common
criminal. The lad realizes that he Is
a minor and says that he will return
home and try and live in the objection
able atmosphere until he attains MS
majority. His preference, however, is
to remain in Savannah and secure en-
ployment. When placed under arrest
Young Driggers had about SO on his per-
son. With that capital he expected to
make a name and money for himself.

RAIN THE WINNER AGAIN.
Prince Says There Will BE
Races knyhow Tonight.

Da,n got the better of Jack Prince
lin Yesterday, and there were no
.s at the coliseum last night. I'm

prince thinks he has been getting the
-.,rst of it from the weather, and his
s,rons agree with him. He says, how
- that from now on a little thing
,.,,o q shower in the afternoon will not
~ the races. The track will dry in
hour or so, and unless it rains af-
..r o'clock the riders will beable to
Ian on their wheels while racing. The
nn-sItbour-Butler match has aroused a
-, interest, and If the crowds which
ont ont Saturday night and We're pre-
noring to go out last night, are to be
Zen as an indication the sprinters
I'll ride to standing room only.
ms hard luck, this rain proposition, y
Iii Prince when the heavy showers
san during the afternoon. I'll call it
~ again this one time and give the
~sarber a chance to do the right thing
,o.morrow. If it don't behave itself
and does any more crying acts, why,
ri heat it out, anyway. 1t don't take
hat old board track such long time
n dry off and you can just tell the
neople to come out and see us if 1t
5on't rain after o'clock. This offer
s,ids good. and there won't be no more
