Manning, Sept. IA sudden
death occurred in u rather unus.
ual manner last night, about three
miles from town. A young ne
gro, named Dan Samuel, about 1S
years old, in company with anoth-

passing along the road, near Mr..
Furman Brabham's place. AS
they crossed small bridge,
about s O'Clock, Dan called out
that something bit him ON the
foot. They did not stop to in
vestigate, but all walked OIL for
about fifty yards, when Dan fell
to the ground and died in few
minutes.
The only marks on the body
were two small puncturss on one

some venomous serpent had bit
ten the negro, though the suJden-

was 115 years old, was found on
the farm of James Rivers, near
Chesterfield, S. G., by Tyler Teal,
a white laborer, and Will Ed-
waids, a negro, while engaged
recently in digging IL ditch. Tue
pot was carried to point ,wo
miles away and buried near
creek bank. When two days la
ter the tindets went after the pot,
it had mysteriously disappear ed.
The negro charges that the white
man had appropriated tho money
and has hidden it from him, while
Teal declares that the story is all
u joke and no pot was unearthai.
Edwards sticks to his story aad
has produced proofs of it's
genuiness. Detective j. -. Evans,
who has associated with him one
of the best known detectives in
the south, who were employed by
the negro, and who have since
been working on the case, have
secured evidence confirming the
discovery of the hidden wealth,
but thus far no trace of the gold
has been found.

Some of our dispensary friends,
who have been telling of the great
and liberal support which the
schools receive from the sale of
liquor may be surprised at the
figures presented by Mr.. Hayne
in his letter published this morn
ing. "In 1903," says Mr..
Hayne, "the Greenville county
schools received 1890 from the
comptroller general as our share
of the dispensary profits. Our
enrolment that year was 1871
pupils, hence the schools got ten
cents per pupil. " And that was
just about enough to educate them
to the iniquity of the law as it is
administered in this day ana time.

1t would seem that the investi-

enough evidence of graft and cor.
ruption on the part of local dis

those higher in the service, and
especially as there Is no indication
that the thieves will be properly
handled by the grand juries and
the courts, All the good features
that the dispensary had in its in,

debauched by the liquor crooks.
