CHESTER.
Lantern, March Is: A more alert po-
liceman than Policeman johnson is
hard to find. 1t seems that those who
have been into mischief think that he
knows them and what they have been
into on first sight. Yesterday morning
as Mr.. Johnson was standing in front
Of Mr.. J. A. Owens store little Negro,
who was just off the chaingang, came
along carrying hen which he had
taken from somebody's henhouse with
out consulting the owner in regard to
the matter. When the Negroes eye fell
upon the policeman he dropped his
chicken and burnt the wind. Mr..
Johnson tried to catch him, but he
grew tired running, so he told another
Negro to catch him, which he did, but
when the little thief offered him 25
cents to let him go, that was too much
and he turned him loose. The Negro
got away but he lost his chicken, which
Mr.. Johnson now has in his possession.
The owner can get the same by apply
ing to him and describing the property
...... While in Charleston last week,
Mr.. r. NJ. Cross presented to Hon. F.
w. Wagner, president Of the South
Carolina Interstate and West indian
exposition, walking cane cut from
near the birthplace of Andrew Jackson
in the Waxhaw settlement. Mr.. Cross
says that he has several more which
came from the same place. He has
promised to make us a present Of one.
800. Mr.. Isaac Heyman, Of Savannah,
Ca, and Mr.. julius Sans, Of Eufaula,
Ala, are at Mrs. s. Heyman's. Mr..
Sans left here about 16 years ago, but
Is remembered by a good many Of his
old friends, who welcome him to our
city. Mr.. Sans was employed here by
Mr.. Heyman, but he is now engaged
in a prosperous business in Eufaula.
80. Congressman Latimer has very
kindly given Miss Bertha Stain lawn
grass seed to plant the Park, also
some trees from the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, D. c. Miss
Stain presents them to the Park In the
name Of the "Sin Nombre Book Club"
.... About o'clock Sabbath after
noon, four prisoners broke out Of their
prison walls and escaped. Sheriff
Cornwell was at home alone when they
made their scheme effective. They
were all locked up in main room, and
with a piece of stovewood and an iron,
which they had secured in some way,
they battered the brace from the door,
singing all the while so loudly that
their beating against the door fell with
no distinctness upon the sheriff's ears.
After getting through the door they
came down stairs and passed on out
the back way unnoticed. Scarcely
were they gone when the white pris-
oners gave the alarm which prevented
others from escaping. The following
are the ones who escaped and the re-
wards which Sheriff Cornwell has offer
ed for their capture: Alex. Gillian, SO;
Lewis Johnson, IS; Lack CASTOR, S.;
Ed Carter, S.. All Of these four were
awaiting court Demonstrating and
larceny. Carter has been caught. He
stole Rev. B. G. Murphys bicycle to
help him on his way, but treacherous
as bicycles are sometimes, 1t carried
him into the arms Of the police at Rock
Hill. Gillian and Johnson were seen
at Rock Hill and fired at, but they es-
capped.

| Winnsboro News and Herald, March
26: A few days ago we wrote Hon. Jos.
T. Johnson, congressman from this dis
trict, in regard to having Prof. Spill
man, the agrostologist Of the agricul-
tural department at Washington, come
to Winnsboro and deliver lecture on
forage crops. He at once took up the
matter with Prof. Spillman, whose time
in this state at this time Is so limited
that he cannot come for some months,
though Mr.. johnson thinks he will be
able to come then. In the same letter
we asked as to the chances Of Winns-
boro's getting some Of the shade trees
which he was sending out to various
points. His reply to this portion Of the
letter Is quite complimentary to our
town. IT have your favor suggesting
that Winnsboro would appreciate some
young trees. I had sent some trees to
the Mount Zion society, but not to the
town, as I thought Winnsboro, bar
ring Columbia, has the finest shade
trees Of any town in the district. I
had no trees at my disposal when I re-
ceived your letter. Congressman Fin
ley, not having disposed Of all his. has
very kindly consented to send to
Winnsboro a portion Of his trees"
Since the above was set in type, we
have received from Mr.. Johnson let
ter assuring us that Prof. Spillman
could visit this section in July and
suggesting that a meeting be arranged
at that time. 1t Is very probable that
the meeting will be arranged for.......
When it comes to holding cotton, Mr..
Henry Leitner who lives in the lower
portion Of the county and who is great
ly advanced in years, takes the cake.
He has bale that he has been holding
ever since before de war" It Is said
to be of a good grade and that he has
been offered very fancy prices for It..
