A MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.
Of About $500 Monday Night
May Be Other Losses.

Policeman J. w. Davis while on
his nightly rounds about z o'clock
Tuesday morning discovered that
the back door of Purcell & Scott S
general merchandise establishment
was unlocked, though the door
was shut. Mr.. w. A. Hill,
who works for the firm. was mott
fed. Upon investigation it was
found that about $500 left
in the money drawer for change
was missing, and it is thought that
a sack of flour and possibly other
articles of merchandise are missing,
though this can not be told def
nitely. Mr.. Hill is confident that
the door was barred from the inside
OIL Monday night. The only solu
ton seems to be that some one was
in hiding in the store when it was
locked up for the night and that
the party relieved the money drawer
and possibly secured other articles
and went out through the back
door, shutting it behind him.

great popularity of Chamberlain S

colds and grip effectually and perma-

given as confidently to baby as to an

When all of these facts are taken into

Loving Tribute To Mrs. Bette B. Workman.
The true, tried and tested friend
of my childhood, maidenhood and
mature womanhood has entered into
her heavenly inheritance.
In many respects she was re-
markable woman. Possessing a
wonderful memory and great fond
ness for reading, she was convers-
ant with almost every question Of
public interest, kept we'll abreast
with the changes and events of these
stirring times, and was deeply con-
cerned in all that was best for her
State and country.
Thoughtful, affectionate and
faithful, her church, her family
her children, grandchildren, serv-
ants, friends and neighbors will
miss her tireless ministry of love.
Orphan children as we'll as her own
children Twill rise up and call her
blessed.'
Her Benjamin was far away in a
distant State when his mother was
summoned. May he be faithful tc
that mothers Cod May her man,
tie fall on the only daughter, and
let us all, who are SO sorely be
reaved, rejoice rather than "sor
row as tho sc who have no hope,
that her battle is fought, the victor,
won, and she has gone 10 eterna
rest forever with her Lord.

ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.
John Coleman During His Brief Absence
From the Gang Committed Another
Crime-HiS Escape.

John Coleman, one of the two
negroes who escaped from the
county chain gang on Sunday
night, was captured at about day
light Tuesday morning at Cold
will where he had stopped over to
see his wife OH his way,to Spartan
burg, by Guard B. M. Koon and
his brother, Mr.. B. E. Koon, of the
city police force. Coleman was
serving a nine months sentence on
the gang for stealing. three months
Of this time having been imposed
by the city, and six months by the
circuit court, and during his brief
absence from the gang he COM
mitted another theft which will
probably lengthen his sentence a
few days or more.
The story Of Coleman's escape
shows that he is utterly devoid Of
even that honor which is said to
exist among the lowest thieves. At
about II o'clock OH Sunday night
Tom Hampton, who was on the
gang for long period, and who had
been made trusty. secured a file
from the engine. He first filed
COleman'S Shackles and when they
were loosed asked Coleman to do
the same for him. Coleman de-
clined and left Hampton to get off
as best he could. This Hampton
succeeded in doing and has not yet
been captured.
Coleman proceeded on foot to-
wards Spartanburg, as he said. He
reached Goldville and slept on Mon
day night III cotton house belong
ing to Mr.. Blalock. Early Tuesday
morning he went to his wile's house
and was captured as soon as he
reached there by the Mcssrs Koon,
who had tracked him all the night
before.
On the road to Goldville on Mon
day Coleman entered a house about
two miles from town belonging to a
negro named Ulysses Riser and
took thercirom a pair of trousers
belonging 20 Spencer Brown.
These trousers Coleman wore when
returned to the gang. Riser came
to town Oh Tuesday and lodged
complaint about the trousers. They
were identified as those which Cole
man wore and were taken of him

MEAN PIECE
OF ACTING.

Here is a little story that il vouched
for by good many of the younger
sporting element of the town. anent
the atheltic contest that occurred at
Turner hall.
It appears that Arthur johnson and
Charles Jackman, the parties who
participated in the twelfth number
of the program. boxing contest, had
arranged the matters before they went
to the ringside. johnson. who poked
Jackman so hard in the last round
that he was knocked down and out,
there being an interval of about fif-
teen seconds before he was revived,
took girl to the contest and he want
ed Jackman to agree that there would
be no bad besting between them. They
just were to show their knowledge of
the manly art by displaying their
skill in handling their dukes and
the manner in which they could side
step. etc. etc.
Jackman readily agreed to this
proposition. He did not want a slug
ging match himself and he also desir-
ed that his friend Johnson should ap-
pear in good light before his lady
| friend.
The contest was on at last. Jack
man showed that he was immeasura-
bly, the superior of johnson. He
tapped him right and left and showed
superior skill throughout the rounds.
, He had abundant opportunity to chug
johnson half dozen times, but re-
Wondering his agreement restrained
himself and permitted his antagonist
to make good show. In the last
round johnson spared cleverly for
an opening and then sailing in landed
so terrific blow on Jackman. that
the latter went down like an OK before
the mallet and it took about fifteen
seconds to revive him.
Jackman's friends when told of the
agreement were furious at johnson
and they did not hesitate to tell him
so. 1t was very mean piece of act
ing and Jackman has lost nothing be-
cause he kept his word to act like
gentleman and to do what he had
agreed to do.
The friends of Jackman say that
johnson has no show whatever beside
Jackman and Johnson S friends do not
dispute it.

Ed. F. Browne of Aspen. who has
a rather facile pen, is out again scold-
ing the people ON the Denver charter
election. If there i, any subject upon
which Ed. Browne cannot write, we
have never heard of it. There are n
few people left in this state who have
mind sufficient to come to conclusions
upon questions themselves. We know
little about the Denver charter and
care less. Our only interest came
from the manner in which people
were being brow beaten into voting
for the charter by the press. We had
come to the conclusion that man
who wasn't for the charter must be-
long to the thugs, yet since the cleo
tion and the tremendous vote polled
against it, there must have been a
good many good people who voted
against it.
