terday with Mr.. w. w. Miller survey
ing the property he recently purchased
from Mr.. A. Rose on the eastern out
skirts Of Yorkville and having 1t cut up
into lots. He proposes to sell the entire
property at some time in the near fu-
ture, probably at auction.
e. E. Thornwell, Esq. offers his
services In connection with real es-
tate transactions. 1t Is his purpose
to give his attention particularly to
Yorkville and York county property,

consideration for quite a while. dur
ing which time he has been picking
I'D a lot of valuable information, he

The Jasper Light Infantry arrived
from Columbia last night at about
o'clock on a special train over the
Southern. The boys were detrained In
good shape and marched up town
through the middle Of the muddy
streets in good military style. It hap
pened that the electric lights were out
at the time, and the men were so quiet
and orderly that they would hardly
have been oticed from the sidewalks
The baggage arrived in good shape and
was unloaded at the armory, where II
was distributed, each man receiving
his own with but little confusion.

AFTER Fifteen YEARS.

A negro man was brought to jail last
Sunday from Glover to answer to the
charge of murder alleged to have been
committed fifteen years ago. The
mans name is Bob Smith, and the
name Of his victim was Chambers
Byers. The killing occurred on the
plantation Of Mr.. P. B. McAfee, near
Beersheba, In October, 1889, and had
been all but forgotten.
The story Of Smiths arrest Is some
what interesting. A negro got OF the
southbound freight train at Glover
last Saturday and began looking around
as II expecting to meet some one. Mr..
]. G. Enloe thought he recognized the
negro and remembering the murder,
in connection with the fact that Smith
still had relatives in the neighborhood,
determined to investigate the matter
further by suggesting to Mr.. Andy
Quinn to ask the negro whether or
not he did not want to go into the
country.
Il would like to go If it does not cost
too much" the negro replied. and on
being asked where he wanted to go,
indicated the neighborhood Of his rela-
tives. This, along with other corrob-

NEGRO GOES RuGHoUsE.

A negro man named Paul Crawford,
in the employ Of Messrs. Glenn & AL
lison went suddenly insane yesterday
morning from causes that have not yet
been ascertained.
Mr.. Allison left the negro putting up
a buggy at the salesroom while he
went to look after some business at
the stable. Suddenly the negro came
running to where Mr.. Allison was. and
In evident fear announced:
"A Niger been after me trying to
kill me, and I came down here to get
out of the way"
Although not fully realizing the sit
uation Mr. Allison saw that the negro
was evidently laboring under some kind
of hallucination and told him to go on
back to his work, that there was no.
body after him.
In response to Mr.. Allison's order,
Crawford climbed upon a wagon and
started to drive a team of mules out
Of the lot.
Where are you going with that
team?" asked Mr.. Allison.
After the rest of that cotton" re-
piled the negro.
What cotton?" Mr.. Allison asked.
IF l don't get there pretty quick 1t
will all be burned up" replied the ne
gro.
Mr.. Allison told another negro TO
take charge Of the team, and as the
man moved to obey Crawford raised
the board that was being used as
seat and threatened to burst his brains
out with 1t.
BY this time the situation seemed to
be growing rather serious and Mr.. Al
lison sent for Sheriff Brown and Po-
liceman Sanders. who arrested CraW-
ford and put him in jail, where he Will
be kept until his trouble disappears or
is more fully developed.
Information from Crawford this
morning Is to the effect that his
mind appears to be normal again. 1t
Is understood that he was accused OF
uttering some forged checks and 1t
is quite probable that this had some
thing to do with his actions yesterday.

Anybody who says that this news

When asked the direct question by

as given out by the Spartanburg in
yest.gation, In view Of all the public
opinion and hearsay, really believe that
the dispensary system as the law now

graft?"
The senator replied unequivocaily:
mo, do not. Would you abolish the
supervisors Office at Greenville on ac-
count Of the fact that there seems to
be opportunity for graft"
Wien the question Of state confroi
was brought up, he said that 1t was
| he only way to run the dispensary
IF counties control, or rather, IL the
counties should decide this question for
| themselves, 1t would mean that the city
In which the dispensary was located
would get all the pecuniary benefit.
AS II stands now, each school district
In the county gets portion or the
fund, thus benefitting all"
He said that political enemies OF the
dispensary were taking advantage, as
matter Of fact, magnifying the dis
content and dissatisfaction, and In this
way hoped to destroy 1t.
