He then pro ceeded to the rear and gazed thle"e''' the window The mans actions look cd suspicious. and when few mo ments later he passed the wic f"t7- again, this time leading bicycle, MT. Wilbourne at once went ta +hn front to investigate. He found bcv cle belonging to G. H. Adams missing from the front office.
 Mir Wilbourne at once gave cfa sa and an exciting time was had H' the public thorouohfares of Pine Blur for a time The neero led him merry race, but Met is something Of sprinter himself. and made it so warm for the thief that he was com relied to abandon the wheel Fa" several blocks more the pursuit was continued. the negro finally making oood his escape however.
 MT Wibourne was heartily con e,.ato1ated by friends for his fona- eioht. cool indgment and prompt sac' tion which recovered the property and MT. Adams is more pleased than ever with tho versatility of his en- rloye's talents.

on the Dispensary.

Columbia State: Mr.. Il. Yam.
cey Williams, who succeeds Mr.
w. @. Hough as senator from
Lanca ster county, stated yester
day that his position on the dis
pensary question has been mis-.
understood. He is in favor of locaI
option between county dispen
saries and prohibition.
AT one time he was in favor
of the State dispensary, but he
changed after seeing the frenzied
manner in which candidates for
places on the State board would
come upon the floor Of the house
and lobby for votes, to get lit.
lie $4OO a year JOB Subsequent
Iy he denounced on the floor OF
the house the practice of send
ing liquor to members of The
legislature just prior to the elec.
ton of dispensary officials.
He does not favor the State
institution, for he thinks il can.
not be conducted as it should
be.
