Our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr.
w. ]. Cunningham, had a valuable
mule and rubber tire top buggy sto-
| len from q back lot in town last Sat
| urday night. The turnout had been
driven here by his son, Mr.. Roy Cum
ningham, from the Cunningham farm
west of Lancaster, and the mule Sc
curely hitched in the lot in rear Of the
Heath-Jones Co.'S. store. When Mr
Cunningham went to get the animal
and vehicle to return to the plantation
he found both missing. Diligent search
was made Sunday and Monday by
Sheriff Hunter and others for the lost
turnout and kilograms and phone mes
sages sent to various points. Late
Monday afternoon 1t was learned here
that the mule and buggy had been
found in a public road in North Caro-
lima, twelve miles beyond Waxhaw, by
couple Of boys, where the thief had
evidently gotten out of the buggy and
turned the mule loose. Mr.. Cunning
ham sent after the stolen property
yesterday. The thief is unknown, but
every effort will be made to apprehend
him. 49,. The Carnival was here all

Cd They had a slot machine which
would give a picture for penny
Some Of these pictures were not so bad
some of them were vulgar, dirty, inde-

abundantly substantiate the above
statement Such sale of said pictures
is in plain violation of South Carolina
criminal code. section 296. Yet these
people did rot hesitate to tread down
this law and our rights which were
supposed to be protected by this law,
Some OF US thought. that we had a
right to be protected by this law from
such filth. CD They had places through
which one could look and see scenes
which were not particularly edifying.
But 1 pass this by. CD In tent they
had two women who made specially
of dancing for the amusement of men.
The dancing and the actions expressed
in and by the dancing were said by
those who saw ii to be vile, indecent,
and degrading to a degree not easily
expressed. All of this was done not
only before white men. but also before
negro men. Such conduct was precise
ly adapted to degrade the white women
