Alec Joseph, the negro boy who Gre
ated such an excitement in the New
port neighborhood by setting fire
the woods and burning his step-fath-
ers crib and attempting to fire Mr.. w.
]. Millers barn, was given a prelimi-
nary hearing before Magistrate. An
derson Tuesday afternoon The boy
told practically the same story as was
reported in my last letter-that his
.tep- father, Walter Patton, was II,
IIebt to Mr.. Miller and rather than let
his corn be seized to satisfy the debt
he forced the boy against his will to
burn the crib. He was also forced at
the point Of a revolver to set fire to
Mr.. Millers barn. Joseph was sent
I'D to jail to await trial In the higher
court on the charge Of arson. Patton
was present at the hearing. but he
made no statement in regard to the
matter at all. Neither has he been
taken into custody yet, as nothing out

is thoroughly investigating the mat

towns and wayside stations along the
roads, some visiting relatives and old
friends they had not met since last
Thanksgiving Day or perhaps for
many years, others spent the day
in the fields hunting birds and chas-
ing the nimble-footed rabbit, while
still others INDUCED in various sports
and pastimes. The young people en-
joyed buggy rides and straw" rides
Some went to church and some spent
the day in the quiet Of their homes
with their families. The weather was
delightful for all kinds Of outdoor
sports and amusements and every
body was free to indulge In their IA
yorite pastime So far as have been
able to learn the day passed off quiet
ly and pleasantly without any OF the
casualties, so incident to such occa-
sions, to interrupt the pleasures OF
the day.
The unveiling ceremonies at Laurel
wood cemetery at 10 o'clock Thursday
