GOOD WORK BY SHERIFF BUFORD.
captures LII Columbia Man Wanted for
Murder Committed In Laurens Six
Years Ago.

Sheriff Buford went to Columbia OF
Thursday night for the purpose of cap
turing John Booker, a man wanted by
the Laurens county officials to answer
to charge of murder, the crime hav
ing been committed near Goldville sis
years ago. BY 7 O'Clock Friday eve
ming the Sheriff had captured his man,
and on Saturday morning the prisoner
was delivered in Laurens. Sheriff Blu.
ford captured Mart Rook, Booker's &C.
complice, near Lewiedale, in Lexing.
ton County, during the latter part OF
last year. The trial of Rook has beer
postponed because it was desired, il
possible to try the two men together.
The story of the capture of Booker,
which occurred on Main Street in Co.
lumbia, is told by the Columbia State,
of Saturday, as follows:
Capt. Andrew Patterson, Jr., of the
county chaingang yesterday arrested a
negro named John Booker on Main
street, near the union depot, and turned
him over to the police authorities. He
is chocolate colored negro about 40
years of age, weighing about 165
pounds and has a moustache. Last
night he told reporter that he had
come to this city from Laurens on busi-
ness and showed an address on Lady
street given him, he said, by gentle
man in Lanrens. Laurens was his birth
place and home except for some six
months previous to last January. He
said he did not know why he had been
arrested but guessed he could wait I'M
til tomorrow to find out"
'"The facts of the case are of interest
'The 11.30 o'clock train from New
berry Thursday night brought into the
city Sheriff M. M. Buford of Newberry,
who was seen yesterday quietly moving
about the streets. The Sheriff in his
usual way was on a "still hunt" and
about 7 o'clock last evening succeeded
in capturing his man, John Booker,
who is wanted in Laurens to answer to
the charge of murder, the crime having
been committed near Goldville about
six years ago. Booker's accomplice,
Mart Rock, was captured by Sheriff
Buford last September in Lexington
county, near Lewiedale, on the planta-
tion of Dr.. James Drafts.
''He was delivered to the Sheriff of
Laurens County and is now out on bond
for his appearance at the next term of
court.
"Owing to the failure to capture Book
er it was decided that it would be mex
pedient to try Rook without his accom-
plice. Sheriff Buford, at the solcita-
tion of Sheriff Duckett of Laurens, and
Solicitor Sease, determined, if possible,
to capture Booker.
"After great deal of manoeuvering
and diligent search Sheriff Buford at
last succeeded in locating Booker. 1t
was with the assistance of Capt. A.
Patterson and Detective Strickland that
he succeeded in making the capture.
'Sherif Buford will leave this morn
ing for Laurens, taking his prisoner
with him."

LONG DISTANCE CONNECTION.
NeWberry Now Has Connection With the
Outside World.

A telephone booth, with long distance
connections, has been installed in cen
trail office, and the people of Newberi J
may now talk to the outside world.
, The private phones will be given con-
inection as soon as the copper wires are
installed.
, The booth in central Office is hand
some and of the most modern make
and design. 1t touches all points along
the lines of the Southern Bell Company,
and the Southern Bell Company's con-
nections.
The ease with which talking may be
done over the long distance line is a
sure indication of the excellent tele-
phone system which Newberry may ex-
pect, under the Bell management, in
the next few days. 1t is much easier
to carry on conversation with New
York, ongthe Bell line than over 'one
block with the present system.

A LABOR AGIIATOR.
Sought to Organize Labor Union In New
berry'S Cotton Mills Opposed by
Mill SuperintendentS.

S.SJ. Thompson, State Organizer for
$addressed an audience, composed OF
probably seventy-five operatives from
the Newberry and Mollohon cottor
sginills in the court house on Saturday
!, afternoon. His arguments for the or.
\ ganization of labor union among the
operatives of the two mills were op,
1 posed by Superintendent J. M. Davis,
of the Newberry Mill, and Supernten,
dent e. B. Wilbur, of the Mollohon mill,
@both of whom were present and made
q addresses. No action was taken.
~ Mr.. Thompson in a disconnected man
F{ner gave his arguments in favor of a
dabor union. He received good atten-
Stion and some applause, as did also the
two mill superintendent. Mr.. Thomp.
SONS main arguments for his union
Were that by organization the operatives
gSof mill are enabled to enforce de-
2mands which would te impossible by
individuals acting separately; that
shorter hours and higher wages would
! be a probability; that organization is
the order of the day and is needed in a
cotton mill above all other places.
Messrs. Davis and Wilbur followed
|. Mr.. Thompson, showing the operatives
that no organization is needed in this
community.
- Mr.. Davis, when seen by representa-
tive of The Herald and News said there
Is no necessity for an organization
among the operatives of the Newberry
Mill, or the Mollohon Mill either, and
, that the Newberry Mill would not
tolerate a labor union, and wanted at
!, this stage of the proceedings to stamp
\ its unequivocal disapproval upon such
"a movement. He. said that if the op-
eratives have demand to make, they
may reach him through the overseers,
and President McCrary through him,
and if their demands are just and
reasonable they will be acceded to.
and acceded to a great deal more readi-
ly than if made with threats through
labor union. He did not believe, he
said, that the operatives in his mill
need or want labor union, te-
cause he believed they know there is
necessity for none. Mr.. Davis is well
Informed on the subject of labor unions
and their effect in the various mill
communities in which they have been
tried, and referred to couiops Incidents
in support Of his position.
a& Mr.. Wilbur's speech at the meeting
on Saturday afterno On was forceful and
and had its effect. Mr.. Thompson
seems to have struck the wrong
town.

Baseball.

There will be game of baseball Fri
day afternoon at o'clock on the college
athletic field, and one again Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock at the same place,
between Newberry College and Erskine
College. The Due West boys have a
good team, it is said, and a fast game
may be expected. They won from
NeWberry at Greenwood last year, but
they will have to put mp a different
game from what they did then to win
now. Newberry expects to "even up"
by taking both these games. The
mumps have about spent their force,
and the college will have out the full
regular team-there was only half of it
last Friday. Capt. Wiles-who is hard
to hurt, and can't be killed in baseball
expects to be in the game, unless the
manager ties him to stump with o
lock chain. FUlmer will make his debut
in the box on Friday; he is nearly es
good as Grip" who struck-out only II
men in eight innings in the last game,
and who will puzzle the "Seceders"
Saturday morning. Come out and see
both games, and encourage the boys; it
will be worth your money. Admission
20 cents; ladies Is cents; children under
ID years 10 cents. Ladies are admitted
free to the grand stand.
The following will be the lineup for
both games, with probably few
changes:

WIN Buralll HanQ?

During the writer's career as a
printer and publisher he has been
called upon to print almost every
conceivable kind of a job, but an
order from the Lyon county Sheriff
this week to print number of invi-
tations to the execution of A. Buralli,
who is scheduled to be hanged in
Dayton next Monday, was the most
uncanny order ever received. The
invitations are printed, however,
and unless the Supreme Court today
grants a new trial A. Buralli will
be hanged in the county Jail at Day
ton next Monday until he is dead.
1T the Supreme Court contemplates
granting a new trial is seems that
its intention would be made known
before this, as all arrangements
have now been made for carrying
out the sentence of the Judge of the
lower Court.
