SHERIFF BUFORD PLAYS DETECTIVE
He Was In Georgia In Search of a Muir
derer and He Got His Man.

The following is from the Effing-
ham County News, publish at Guy,
ton, Ca, of October roth:
Mr.. M. NJ. Buford, sheriff of
Newberry county, S. c., arrived
here Monday night with requisition
papers for Wm. Bryson alias Young,
colored, wanted for murder in Lau-
rens county, S. G. Mr.. Buford was
working the case for the sheriff of
Laurens county, and displayed no
little detective skill in getting his
man. On arriving here, for fear of
being recognized by his man he
disguised himself with long black
beard, and played the role of a
wealthy gentleman who wished to
buy syrup from our farmers. After
locating Bryson who has for some
time been working as section
hand here, he informed Mr.. J. G.
Fox, town marshal, Of his business,
and together they drove out about
three miles where the gang was at
work and made the arrest.
Bryson killed a man by the
name Of Watts in Laurens county,
S. c., over four years ago, and has
been in this county nearly ever
since. He admitted that he was
the right man and claims that he
killed the man in self-defense.
Mr.. Buford is a genial good nat
ured gentleman and full Of fun.
Mr.. Buford is the officer who
captured Alb Ivory alias Charley
Hill wanted for murder in Colum-
bia last spring and also Hamp
Matthews another criminal.
He left with his prisoner on the
10 O'Clock train last night for South
Carolina.

MAY RUN THROUGH TO GRBENvILLB.
C. N. & L. Now Operating TWO Passenger
Coaches On Its Morning Train
to Columbia.

The Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens road is now operating two
passenger coaches on its through
freight to Columbia in the morning
and back to Laurens in the evening.
Since the schedule was put 10 effect
only one passenger coach had been
operated, but on account Of the
great convenience of this schedule
the patronage has increased so much
that the addition Of a second passen-
ger coach has been justified.
The travel on this train is increas-
ing so materially that it is under
stood the road is seriously thinking
of converting the train into solid
passenger, and operating it through
to Greenville. This wonld give
Newberry the most convenient
railroad schedules the town has
ever had. The people of this sec
ton, as now could spend the day
either in Columbia or Greenville,
or intermediate points, returning to
Newberry the same night land they
could, as now, spend the night in
Columbia, returning early next
morning; and with the train operat-
ing through to Greenville they
could spend the night i'll Greenville,
returning home the next morning.
The people Of Newberry and of
this section appreciate the conven-
lent schedules which the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens road has
given them in the past, and they
will appreciate any further conven-
fences.

cause it will not only make more bread

CIRCULAR LETTER ISSUED
Position of SIP. Go. in Respect of the
 Proposed Strike.

J. Kruttschnitt, fourth vice-president and general manager of the Southern Pacific Railway system has issued the following circular, approved by Presi- dent Hartman, relative to the threat sned strike of boilermakers on that line in sympathy with fellow craftsmen on the Union Pacific:
 About a year ago the boilermakers on the Union Pacific struck for a ten per cent in crease in wages and certain shop rules which had nothing whatever tc do with the question of poece or premium work. as that subject was never at any time mentioned or hinted at, and never would have been intro Guced on that road but for the strike. The increase in wages was declined as the Union Pacific was already paying from to 15 per cent more than any of it's neighbors and the adoption of the proposed rule would have placed the administration of the shop affairs in the hands of employees. Following the strike new men were employed. new locomotives bought, and the shop oper- alton of that road after short while resumed it's normal character.
 Ever since. efforts have been made to draw the shop employees of the
