BROKE INTO The DEPOT.
The Robbers Were After Money but
Got Nothing Of Value.

The Atlantic Coast Line
depot was broken into last
night by aburglar or burglars,
to whose identity there seems
to be no clue at all. They
first broke into Mr. Sullivan's
shop and stole two chisels,
which were used in lieu of a
key to open the front door of
the depot. The thieves were
evidently after money, as
they tore open and rifled every
locked drawer in the office
and forced the inside lock of
an iron safe, of which the
outer door was unlocked as
the safe contained nothing of
value. There was no money
left in the building, conse-
quently the perpetrators of
this bold burglary risked their
lives and liberty practically
for nothing. Failing to find
anything of value in the Of
flee the thieves went into the
depot, broke open a box of
cheese and gouged out a por-
tion with their chisel. Except
the cheese and a box of
oranges that is missing they
seem to have left the contents
of the depot undisturbed.
The burglary seems to have
been the work of cool and
experienced hands. The search
after money was thoroughand
deliberate, as the blinds of
the office window were
pulled to and there is evi-
dence that the lamps were
lighted. Mr. Dove, the agent
worked in the office till after
II o'clock last night and the
robbery was discovered when
Mr. Thompson, the assistant
agent, went to open the office
this morning.

SAME OLD STORY.
Mother Leaves Children at Home and
Child is burned to Death.

Mr j L Thomas was in town Mon
day and told a representative of The
RECORD of horrible occurrence
which took place last Thursday near
his home about six miles from iCades.
Tn the afternoon of that day he was
walking by negro cabin when
his attention was attracted by the
cries of several small negro children
in the yard. They were crying out
that "Sallie was bn,ning up Mr.
Thomas went to the door to get in
and had to force it open as it was
securely barred. Inside he found a
heap of smouldering rags covering
the charred body of negro girl
about Z years old. The child was
quite dead. According to the story
of the children, their mother; Jane
Cooper, went off leaving the five
children in the yard and barring the
door SO that they could not enter the
house.
But the children became hungry
and Sallie, the victim of the tragedy,
went into the house through a win
dow and tried to cook some peas she
found inside. When she put the pot
on the fire her dress caught and the
rest followed naturally, as she was
shut in the house with no one to
help her until too late. A pot of
half cooked peas was found on the
fire to corroborate the rhildren's
story.
The mother of the child was in a
measure responsible for its death
and the case above reported should
be thoroughly Investigated.

HOMICIDE AT TRIO.
Inquest Held by Magistrate McCants
on February ie.

On the night of Wednesday, Feb
ruary 1S at Trio, Abraham Swim
ton was shot and fatally wounded by
William Hicks. 1t is said that the
killing grew ont, of improper rela-
tons between Swinton and Hicks
wife. All the parties are negroes.
On the night in question it seems
that Hicks waylaid Swinton and
shot him in the back with d shot
gun inficting mortal wound.
Hicks escaped at the time of the
shooting and is still at large. Mag

quest over the remains the day after

CROSSED OVER THE RIVER.
Death Of John Edward McElveen,
Confederate Veteran.

The subject of this sketch was
born August s, 1887, in Clarendon
county, and was therefore at the
time of his death, February 16, 1908,
about &c years old. Twenty two
years ago he moved to this county,
where he lived near Spring Bank.
Mr. McElveen was a brave Confed-
crate soldier. At the beginning of
the war, 1861, he enlisted in Co. H,
Capt Whitworth, under James D
Blanding, 9th Reg, s. c. V.
This company was ordered to Vir-
ginia and re-organized in April,
1862, into Co. K, 9Th Regt., Capt
W S Brand, under the gallant Col.
John Bratton of the Army of
Northern Virginia. MIR MeElseen
was wounded ..at sSssgsbafg, Nd,
in 1852, but continua6Aif service
until the surrender at Appomattox
G. H.
After the war was over Mr. Nc
Elveen returned home and followed
the avocations of farmer and sur
veyor. In the latter calling there
are many who can testify to the
paius-takiug accuracy which char
acterized his work.
He leaves devoted wife and
eight children, besides an only
brother, Mr. W H McElveen of
Spring Bank, who in common with
a large number of friends are be.
| reaved by his death. ~. :.

THE ROAD MuoDLE.
Hard Proposition the Board Of County
Commissioners is up Against.

The board of county commits
sioners, and especially the county
supervisor, are confronted by a Sc
rious problem Just now, namely the
question of working the roads,
which are admittedly in worse con.
dition than for many years, and this
is saying great deal.
Under the provisions of the ex-
listing road law the county board has
adopted the contract system and on
last Monday, in response to the no
tice that the wolk would be let out
by townships. the several bids
handed in were considered, when II
was found that the sum named by
some of the bidders for working the
roads in a single township q
mounted to more than double the
the entire fund for keeping up all
the roads in the county, which funo
is estimated to be between $4,000 and
$1,000.
In these circumstances the board
4
rejected all bids as it had the right
to do, and will devise some other
method of getting the work done
Just what plan will be pursued ha'
not yet been decided on, but doub'
less the matter will be settled ut the
next meeting of the board on March
IT,.
The trouble seems to be that ths
communication tax Of $1.oo is neon
mensurate with the alternative Of
eight days road duty, and almost
every body, white and black, y pay
ing the tax.

SHOT IN SELF DEFENSE.
Mr.. +. WILL FAIREY KILLS HIS
STEP-.FATHER AT sRANcHvILLE
The Latter Crazed from Drink,
Pointed a Gun at Mr. Fairey, Who
Was Trying to Quiet Him.

Was Trying to Quiet Him.
BRANCHyILLE, March 3.-Mr N
g Heape was shot and instantly
killed here this morning by his step
son, F W Fairey. 1t seems that Mr.
Heape has been on spree for sew
eral days and had become delirious;
he had threatened several times to
shoot his wife, Young Fairey's
mother, and had run the whole
family off the place. Mr. Heape and
young Fairey had always been spec
tally good friends and he started to
go and try to quiet Mr. Heape, who
had already been shooting at Mrs
Heape, and at any one that passed
the place.
AS soon as Mr. Fairey entered the
yard, Mr. Heape drew his gun, and
Fairey had t shoot to save his own
life. The verdict of the coroner's
jury was that 'Heape came to his
death by gun shots wounds in the
hands Of F W Fairy, Jr., and we BE-
lieve the same to be justifable
homicide"
This is one of the most deplora-
BILE affairs that has ever occurred in
this section. Mr. Heape was one Of
the oldest and most trusted engineers
on this branch Of the Southern rail-
road.
Mr. Fairey will apply for bail at
once.
Mr. Heape was member Of a Col
umbia lodge of Woodmen of the
World and the Woodmen here have
already taken charge of the remains.
The State.
Mr. F Will Fairy, the young man
referred to in the foregoing article,
came to Kingstree about a month
ago to take q position in the law
Office of John A Kelley, Esq., and
during that time he has gained the
esteem of every one with whom he
has been associated. On Monday
afternoon he received a telegram
from friend stating that his mother
wanted him to come home. With
out knowing the reason he complied
with this request, leaving here Mon
day night. The sad affair which
followed is a great shock to Mr.
Fairy's friends here, but the circum-
stances of the killing seem to en-
tirely justify his action. Capt Kel-
ley, his employer, left yesterday for
Brauchville to offer Mr. Fsirey his
counsel and assistance.
