A. Slick Thief.

Frank Youngblood, a white man,
purporting to be Mr.. R. L. Crooks,
has worked a slick game on the Saw
ings Bank of Newberry and on the
Carolina National Bank of Columbia.
It seems that Youngblood was, at one
time, a roommate of Crooks, who is
an engineer of the Southern railway,
and in this way he became acquainted
with Crooks affairs, Crooks had 1854
deposited with the Newberry Savings
Bank; Youngblood went into Crooks

the bank, drew a check and got the
whole amount of Crooks deposit and
in addition to this, $500 from the Car

John B. Brasher defeated Rev. d.
S. Edwards for the Democratic no
manation for Representative in the
primary in Hopkins Monday by
a majority of about ninety votes,
after one Of the hardest-fought bat
ties in the history of the county for
any office. Nun Wilson, who made
such a sensational race for the same
nomination two years ago. received
about eighty votes this time. John
Brasher's victory is one that he has
reason to be proud of. 1t shows
that he has lost none of his old time
strength and vigor as a campaigner.
He will undoubtedly take promi-
neat place as a leader in the next

TWO MORE voCALIsTs.
Chorus of $50 Voices viii
Be Something Never
Heard Before.

This is the last week before the big
May Music Festival and every minute
of the remaining time will be de-
voted to getting everything in
shape.
Chorus rehearsals will be held
every afternoon and night from now

efficient leadership of Prof. George

Manager Mcpherson has finally
rounded out his list of professional
soloists for the occasion.
Zoe Pearl Parke, an American
girl with a wonderfully powerful
and sweet Contralto voice, and
Dabney Carr, the celebrated

their signed contracts. This now
gives four famous vocalists, in addi-
ton to the two named above them

Tenor, and Virginia Litemann, So
prano.
People generally are just beginning
to realize the scope Of the Music Fes-
-ival. 1t will be the first time that
an event of such magnitude has ever
been attempted outside the larger
cities, and the festival here will be
equal in every way to those given in
Louisville, Cincinnati and Nashville.

The delay was particu-

tion is the attitude OF the federation

ROomy Than Other Way
HAS IDEA WORKED OUT

Magistrate c. w. Emery, discuss
ing the project for new jail for Nc
Cracker county, outlined a scheme
that seems to have all the surface
indications of feasibility, and the
cost to the county wiuld be less than
under any other arrangement. He
suggests that the jail be built under
the court house and disclosed we'll
digested plan as follows:
eve have investigated and found
that a jail with a capacity of 1873
prisoners in single cells. with a
jailer's office. sanitary conveniences
and absolute protection can be built
under the court house at a cost of
$4,000. We know that the present
Jail could be sold for $4,000. which
would bring the cost for the new
jail down to s17 900. The old Jail
has capacity of only 40 in single
cells. while the new one with 1873
cells would serve the county for
many years.
The new jail would be built after
the plan of the four courts Jail in
St. Louis. BY excavating probably
21z feet under the court house and
the first floor three feet, a
cellar ten feet deep could be made
and still be above the water line.
The ceiling of the jail which would
be the floor of the court house,
would be made Of reinforced cement
and steel sheets. 1t would be noise
proof, fire proof and burglar proof.

County Jail Under TIE Court House
Is Plan Of Magistrate Charles Emery

should the court house be destroyed
by fire, no damage could result TO the
Jail or occupants. The jail would
be convenient to the court. To build
a larger separate house on the
grounds would be unsightly, while
the old building could be sold leav-
ing a park unbroken by extra houses
To build new jail on an adequate
scale, away from the court house,
would cost 100000. The building
would cost sac. 900 and the interior
arrangement would cost $4,000"
