Charlotte Observer The 2. year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. J.
Lillycrop was fatally burned yes

a neighbours house for few min

There is considerable uneasi-
ness in Lancaster on account of
the recent robberies and suppos-
ed attempted robberies but the
situation Is greatly exaggerated,
as number of the incidents cur
rently reported have upon inves-
tigation proved to be either with
out foundation or the facts un-
duly magnified. For example,
it was rumored yesterday morn
ing that Mr.. Hollis Horton, the
painter, had shot. a man the
night before whom he saw run

house, but Mr.. Horton says there
Is nothing in the report. While
some crimes have been commit
ted OF late, they are by no means
as numerous as the public is led
to believe. At the same time
we would advise no one to relax
his vigilance in watching out for
thieves during the present sea-
son, for they seem to be more
numerous than usual on the eve
of theChristmas holidays, mot only
here but throughout the entire
country. In Atlanta, 'fcr instance,
the Journal of that city reports
1S7 burglaries, thefts and lar
cenies within the past 80 days.
In Lancaster much of the pre-.

Took Preachers Horse and Bug

The Chester Reporter: Peter
Wilson, colored hackman,
whose name adorns divers sum
dry pages of the police records,
has pulled off nervy little trick
which eclipses any of his pre-
vious exploits, nervy though
some of these have been. About
week ago Peter went to the
home of colored minister, Rev.
f. N. Newton, in East Chester,
and finding the reverend gentle
man out proceeded to inform
the latter's wife that he knew of
a person who was very anxious
to purchase Rev. .Newton's horse
and as the outfit was for sale,
Wilson wss allowed to drive of
for the purpose of negotiating
the deal. That was a week or
more ago, and Peter hasn't been
seen since, at least, by no one
around here. He is SAID to have
taken another horse along, one
that was under mortgage to one
the local liverymen.

False Charge Answered.
Citizens of Lancaster Testify to Good Character of
Former Eancastrian Who Has Been
Grossly Maligned.

The many friends and ac.
quaintances in this county, his
old home, of Mr.. r. M. Langley,
now of Rock Hill, were aston
ished and indignant when the
report reached here a few days
ago to the effect that an effort
was made during a recent trial
in York to cast aspersions on
his good character, the charge
or intimation being that he had
committed larceny al one time
in this county. Of course the
accusation is absurdly false. Mr..
Langley has always borne an ex
cellent reputation in this county,
a fact to which anyone WI knows
him will readily testify. In
justice to Mr.. Langley the fol.
lowing certlhcate was executed
here Thursday:
Lancaster, Sc, Dec. 16, 1908.
To all Whom it May Concern:
1t having been brought to our
attention that the character OF
Robert M. Langley, who lived
in Lancaster county for about
forty years and up to about ten
years ago, was unjustly and
ruthlessly attacked in a damage
suit recently tried in York coun.
ty and that one of the attorneys
engaged in the case undertook tC

that he, Bobert Langley, had
stolen a cow and was in bad re.

ARYAN MAKES PORT AFTER
VOYAGE OF SIX MONTHS

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 1.-THE Amer
lean ship Aryan, Captain Whittier,
sailed into San Pedro harbor at Z
o'clock this morning after completing
a long and tedious voyage around the
Horn from Baltimore. April 20 she
put to sea with a cargo of blacksmith
coal consigned to the Balfour- Guthrie
company. The voyage was uneventful,
except that unfavorable winds were
encountered and the supply of water
was getting short. Usually rain water
is caught on the equator, but on this
trip but little rain was encountered.
Captain Whittier is an old sea cap
tain, and while loath to comment on
his long trip, seemed very axious to
get ashore, having been af1oat nearly
six months. He was sighted in the
Santa Barbara channel Tuesday and
expected to reach port v Wednesday
night .,pr Thursday morning, but the
rainsterm coming up from the south
east, he was forced to run back out of
the channel and await the prevailing
southwest wind of yesterday to COM
plete his voyage.
The Aryan is anchored in the outer
harbor, but will be towed in to the
Crescent wharf to make her discharge.
