County Board Meeting.

The county board of commissioners
held the regular quarterly meeting last
Monday, Supervisor Bruce and Commits
sioners HERS, Rentz, Rice, McGeiver, and
Fender being present.
A number of pauper claims were before
the board, but all were postponed until
the next meeting, as some parties had
furnished more per month to paupers
than the amount allowed by the board.
A resolution was passed instructing the
Supervisor to pay no more than $3.50 per
month hereafter to each pauper, until
otherwise ordered.
A petition for new road from old
Springtown Ford to Ehrhardt was pre-
sented, and the board decided to grant it,
with the provision that the parties In
terested should procure all rights OF way,
make the survey, and have the road cut
out ready for the chain gang. This work
to be done without cost to the county.
B. W. Miley, Esq, was elected attorney
for the board for the next two years.
There being no further business, the board
adjourned,

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.
Rode the Animal All the Way from
Bamberg.

On Friday night Constable Henry
Holloway picked up strange negro who
gave the name of John Williamson, try
ing to sell horse on the streets for $40.
Mr.. HOLLOWAY turned tic negro over to
the police apd he was locked up pending
developments.
Yesterday morning letter came to
Liquor Commissioner Crum from Bam-
berg. telling of the theft of horse be-
longing to his father, Mr.. John W. Crum,
and giving a description of the animal
Commissioner Crum had no trouble in
identifying the horse at police head
quarters:
The negro sinle the horse Thursday
night and rode in the rain the fifty miles
to Columbia by sunset Friday. The
horse was completely used up by the
long journey.-The State.

Will Not Serve Again.

We understand that two members of
the present board of county commission
ers will not accept the position again,
namely: Messrs. NJ. N. Rice, from Buford's
Bridge township; and Geo. J. HERS, OF
Three Mile The relations of Messrs.
HERS and Rice with the other members of
the board and Supervisor Bruce have
been most cordial and pleasant, and there
is no friction whatever. Their terms will
expire soon, and they do not care for re-
appointment simply for the reason that
they have been serving at sacrifice OF
their private business interests. They
feel that they have done their share OF
public service for awhile, and that new
men should be appointed.
1t probable that our legislative delega-
tion will have the present law. changed,
doing away with the three commissioners
and having only one from each township,
this one to be a member of the county
board. 1t is also likely that another town
ship will be created, Bamberg township
being entirely too large. II this action is
taken, Denmark township will be created.

Sales Last MOnday.

The sales at public auction here last
Monday were as follows:
By the Master: One tract of land con-
tanning G2 acres in Three Mile township,
near Ehrhardt, in the case of A. W.
Knight VS.. G. F. Garter and D. M. Smith.
Bid in first by c. F. Carter for 1926. AS
he failed to comply within one hour, the
property was resold, and bid in by d. M.
Smith for 500.
One tract containing 225 acres, in Fish
pond township, in the case of Rentz VS..
Rentz. Sold to John Cooner for $575.
s., By the Sheriff: Four tracts, one of
69l acres, one of 200 acres, one of 110
acres, and one of 17S acres, in the case of
J. o. Patterson, assignee, VS.. j. 3. O'Neal.
Sold subject to mortgage OF F. NJ. Bam-
berg for $4,000. Sold to F. NJ. Bamberg
for $50.
>One tract of 60 acres in Buford's Bridge
township, in the case of Mrs. S. E. Bates
vs.. Paul Del. Black, administrator.
Bought by the plaintiff for 800.
The Bamberg Cotton Mills property
was sold by Jno H. Cope as Receiver.
Bid in for the upset price, $50, 900, by Jno.
r. Bellinger, attorney. 1t is understood
that the property was bought by the
directors who have endorsed notes for the
mill to the amount of $4,000, and they
were forced to buy it to protect them
selves. The plan is, we understand, to
reorganize the company, allowing all the
stockholders 10 come into the reorganiza-
ton on an equal footing, if they so desire.
No stockholder will be forced out, and all
who wish to come in can do so, but of
course they will have to pay their pro
rata share of the Indebtedness. It is
probable that the mill property will be
improved by the addition of new machin-
cry, making it an up-to-date and modern
plant.
The mill has never ceased operations
and will continue to run as heretofore. 1t
will be reorganized by the purchasers
within the next thirty days and all old
stockholders will be invited to join in the
reorganization and will be allowed an
equal showing with the purchasers. 1t is
proposed to pay up all the Indebtedness
of the mill and raise an additional amount
of about $25 900 or $40, 600, with which to
put in some much needed machinery and
make some necessary changes and i'm
provements.
When the work has been accomplished
it is confidently believed the mill will be
placed on a dividend paying basis and
prove a profitable investment for the
Stockholders, The mill will be operated
by the purchasers until the reorganization
takes place.

HESITATE.
Not Yet Ready TO Commence
EjeCtment Suit Against Cap
tain J. Buchanan.
WANT WRITTEN OPINION

Some discussion took place at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
last night, over the proposed eject
ment suit to be brought against Cap
tain James Buchanan to compel him
to move the fence on the north side
of his property at Smith and State
streets. A resolution was introduced
instructing the city attorney to insti-
tute the suit.
Alderman Runyon made an amend
ment that the street committee confer
with the city attorney regarding the
city's right to the strip of land in
question.
Alderman Cannon, who introduced
the resolution, said he could see no
reason for that as the matter had
already been threshed out. Mr.. Run
yon replied that his amendment did
not change the meaning of the resolu-
ton but was simply to comply with
the suggestion made to him by the
city attorney.
Alderman at-Large Eckert said the
city should be absolutely sure IN
taking a step of this kind and he
thought the best thing would be for
the city attorney to give the Board of
Aldermen a written opinion as to the
position of the city in this matter.
Mr.. Cannon declared that all this
would take time and he thought the
city attorney would not institute the
suit unless he deemed it a safe thing
to do.
The motion of Alderman loft, how
ever, that the city attorney give a
written opinion to the street commit
tee and that the committee report at
the next council meeting, was carried.
