FIRE BUG run DOWN.
y Negro Wanted for Barn Burning
Captured at Last.

Captured at Last.
Chief of Police T. H. Lockharu. OF
Gaffney captured Jim Bryant, the
negro who is charged with burning
the barn Of Mr. j. W. WhitesideS in
York about ten days ago. The cap
ture was made in the upper part OF
Cherokee county about six o clock
Sunday afternoon.
Chief Lockhart had information
that Bryant was in hiding near Mr..
r. E. Linders store on Saturday IN
consequence of which he and the
sheriff went to the place where Bry-
ant was supposed 10 be but when
they reached the-place they found
that the bird had flown.
The sheriff was forced to return
to Gaffney: but Mr.. Lockhart held
the fort all night Saturday night.
and in the meantime Bryant had re-
turned 10 the place where he had
been staying; but upon learning that
the officers We're looking fer him. he
took to the woods.
Chief Lockhart. however. was
camping on his trail. and after fol-
lowing him all day through the
woods finally captured him. Bryant
has been taken to the Yorkville jail.
and will be tried there at the next
term Of court.
TWO more efficient officers cannot
he found in the state than Sheriff!
Thomas and Chief Lockl.,..-r: they
will come as near finding a fugitive
as any other two men and when
they find him you may bet dollars
to doughnuts on capture.
Five Murder Cases.
Five murder cases will he trled
at the present term OF court at Cat
ney. This is bad record but 1t is
no worse than some other counties.
Life is TOO cheap in this State. and
unless juries wake UP and do more
hanging things will get worse IN
stead of better.
