SoUTHERN'S REPLY.

The Southern railroad has replied to
the recent recommendations Of the
grand jury with reference to Bullock's
creek trestle, etc. The reply comes
from Superintendent J. A. Heether,
through A. S. Clark, agent at Yorkville,
to Mr.. J. o. Walker, foreman. 1t is
dated at Charleston, September Is, and
reads as follows:
II have recommendation Of the grand
jury, which reached me through your
office, reply to which has been delayed
on account Of my being absent from
the city.
You can say to these gentlemen
that we will have additional examina-
tion made of all tracks and bridges,
and will make an especial effort to
prevent accidents on this division. AS
to the Bullocks creek trestle, you can
say to them that this bridge was un-
dergoing repairs at the time Of the ac-
cident at Fishing creek.
ut has been this company's inten-
tion to better the old S. G.. & G. E. as
far as possible, and I think that the
public will admit that the track bridges
and buildings, are in far better con-
dition than prior to the Southern hav-
ing taken charge about fourteen
months ago."

Vaqrancy.

Many newspapers Of the state are en-
gagged in calling especial attention to
the vagrancy evil, and urging that
something be done to enforce the laws
on the subject.
That the vagrant is a leech on the
body polite goes without saying. He
consumes without producing, and he Is
utterly Indifferent to the welfare Of the
community in which he lives, and In
his idleness is constantly Matching
trouble for those who cheerfully beaI
the full responsibilities Of life. This is
the local stationary vagrant. His
brother, the tramp, is of identical de-
scription except that he is an even
more serious menace to the public we'll
being and safety.
But we are not looking for a great
deal of improvement in the immediate
future. The vagrant has been with us
for long time, and there seems to be
but little hope of getting rid Of him
Virtual outcast though he Is, he usual.
ly has friends Of responsibility and in.
fiuence, and these generally step in tc
protect him in his Objectionable condi'
ton.
Every town Of a few hundred inhab.
itants has it's vagrants and majority
of the inhabitants Of these towns
would be glad to see the crime Of va.
grancy punished; but up to this time
experience has not shown that punish
ment is practicable. Efforts commence
frequently enough by the enactment Of
laws that appear to cover the case; bu
these efforts seldom extend to the en-.
forcement Of such laws.
If we examine the whole question
honestly and dispassionately, we will
generally find ourselves arriving at the
conclusion that although the vagran
is a nuisance and a menace, we are
lacking in sufficient manhood to weet
him out.

PENALTY FITS THE CRIME.-Twelve
months in Jail and fine Of $1,000
was the sentence passed by the court
Of general sessions in Spartanburg on
a man who plead guilty Of operating a
slot machine. The penalty might seem
unusually severe, but. 1t is claimed
that there was no way by which the
prisoner could escape it under the
state law. Without going into the
merits of the Spartanburg offense, the
law must be commended, when we re-
member that the slot machine is the
most pernicious form Of gambling. 1t
is a device which cannot be beaten by
any player. 1t is robbery Of the worst
kind. 1t Is within constant reach of
children, who often steal to play it, and
there IS no possible chance by which
they can recover even part Of the
losses. A few months ago the munich
pal authorities Of Philadelphia decided
that the scheme had to go, and after
a raid by the police machines valued
at $4,000 were burned at a public bon
fire. Other cities have adopted the
same methods as they saw the neces-
sity of it when the evil was spreading
so apidly.-Greenville News.

HUCk'S DEFEAT.

Mention was made recently Of the pre-
paration Of the members Of the King 8
Mountain Chapter D. A. r. to unveil a
monument to the heroes Of the Battle
Of Brattonsville" on October /. This
battle was fought July II, 1880, and al
though the people of this section gen.
orally are familiar with the circum-
stances, the reproduction Of the fol-
lowing brief account of it from Los
sings Field Book Of the Revolution Is
not out of place at this time:
About this time, Bill Cunningham
and his Bloody Scouts was spreading
terror in Union and Spartanburg dis
trict, and also south of the Enoree.
Against this monster, John Mcclure
was dispatched. He chased him across
Union district, and almost thirty miles
further toward Ninety-Six. Four Of
the scouts were captured, and carried
in triumph to Sumter's camp on the
Waxhaw their leader barely escaped.
Sumter was now gathering his little
army, and Huck proceeded to execute
his commission Ito push the rebels as
far as might be deemed convenient
as speedily as possible, before the new
ly made brigadier (Sumter) should ap-
proach. He encamped upon the plan
tation Of James williamson (now
Brattonsville), and there passed the
night Of the eleventh of July. At a lit
tie past midnight, Col. Neil, and the
companies Of Captains Bratton and
Mcclure came down from Sumters
camp In Mecklenburg and cautiously
approached the sleeping enemy in his
encampment, which was in the middle
of lane. At dawn they entered each
end Of the lane, and fell upon Huck's
party with fury. The surprise was
complete, and for an hour a fierce bat
tie ensued, when Huck, with Colonel
Ferguson, Of the Tory militia, was kill
ed and the party dispersed. The whole
patriot force was only one hundred
and thirty-three men. Mcclure and his
party, well mounted, pursued the fu-
gitives almost to Rocky Mount, and
within four hours the army of Huck

ESCAPED FROM THE PEN.

Isaac Sims. a York county Negro
who was sentenced to the state peni-
tentiary for life, for murder at the
November 1898 term Of the court Of
general sessions, made good his es-
cape from the state farm near Hagood
station, in Sumter county last Friday,
and Is still at large.
Sims was known as a particularly
desperate Negro, and for. several years
has been the chum Of another life con-
vict, from Charleston county, named
Grant McNeel. The two men Matched
a plot two years ago as the result of
which they succeeded In escaping; but
they were both recaptured, and after
that, they were kept under particularly
close guard.
During Friday a detail was engaged
in cutting wood In a swamp. Guard
Hunt was in charge Of it, and when he
took the men to camp, he ordered them
to line up as usual in order that they
might be counted. While the counting
was in process, Sims and McNeel made
break for liberty, and although the
guard fired on both of them until his
magazine was empty he failed to hit
either.
The alarm was given promptly, all OF
the bad prisoners were locked up, and
guards and armed TRUSTEES set out af-
ter the two fugitives. About an hour
later Grant McNeel showed up at the
Reid farm, mile away from the place
where he started to run. Preston JEFF
ferson, trusty who Is also serving q
life sentence, was on the ground first
He called upon McNeel to stop. Nc
neel paid no attention to him, and JEFF
ferson fired. The bullet broke McNeeps
leg and severed an artery. The
man bled to death within few min
utes.
The search for Sims was continued
during the night; but no. trace Of him
was found. 1t is evident that he got
safely out Of the country.
