have thought that the Invaders were
once again on hand.
Even as early as 0 o'clock certain
war correspondents and others inter-

however, was not soon rewarded, as

TO KEEP MINORS
OUT OF SAL0 0.NS.
Committee Recommends Ordi-
nance Approved by Liquor
People of City.

If the two branches of the City Coun-
ell agree to the. ordinance offered by
Mr. John j. Lynch, of Jefferson Ward,
and unanimously recommended by the
Ordinance Committee last night, pro-
hibiting minors from entering bar
rooms a sweeping reform along this
line will be speedily inaugurated.
1t will mean that newsboys will not
be allowed in places where liquor is
sold within the city limits, and that
all persons under the age OF twenty
one years must keep out of such
places, or be subject to arrest and fine
of not less than IS nor more than $50
for each offense. Mr.. Lynch was not
present, but the proposition was laid
before the committee by Chairman
Umlauf, and Went through without
objection. 1t was stated by Mr. Davis
that the saloon people favored the or
dinance, as under present conditions
they were subject to fines for making
a mistake concerning the age of per-
sons applying for drinks. They wished
the protection which the proposed or
dinance would afford, as it would
place the.responsibility to large cX-
tent upon the person who contem-
plated violating the law.
Code Comes Up Again.
The committee favorably reported
the new building code, as adopted by
the building code commission, after a
brief discussion, in which several men,
bers wanted to know If it was con-
templated that Inspector Beck should
be required to supervise the work Of
construction of the High School and
Blues Armory buildings. The language
on this point did not appear very
clear, and 1T was decided to let the
two branches OF the Council fight the
matter out, though the consensus OF
opinion was that these duties should
not fall upon the Inspector.
Members seemed to think that the
routine work of Mr.. Beck's position
was about all that he could properly
handle.
An ordinance to regulate the loca-
ton of public board ing, livery and sale
stables was referred to the City At
torney. with the request that he give
an opinion as to its constitutionality.
Another to regulate the ringing OF
automobile gongs was rejected.
The committee tabled an ordinance
recurring the printing of all ordinances
aiu tesolutions immediately upon their
introduction.
An ordinance was recommended pro-
yidins that all persons, firms and cor
porations be prohibited from throwing
obscene literature or samples OF medi-
cine into lots or porches.
The proposition to confer police pow
ers upon the officers and employees OF
the Board of Health was unanimously
| recommended.

CRIME IN HARTSVILLE.

Hartsville. Dec. %, a. m.-There
Is great deal of excitement here to-
night because OF an outrage commit
ted upon a white woman by a negro at
this time unknown.
On account Of the fact that II is
raining and that the crime was COM
mitted at night, the news was slow
to spread. but at midnight a large
crowd had collected. and it is sure
that the negro will be caught.
The young woman, who Is respected
most highly. is but recently married.
She was alone at home Monday night,
when the brute forced his way in and
overpowered her. DR.. Eggleston says
that her injuries are serious, but not
necessarily dangerous.
She fought the negro off and will
recognize him upon sight. The crowd
has the guilty man spotted and he will
be arrested before daylight. No mob
violence is feared. although the men
are deeply incensed.

LADY MEETS HORRIBLE FATE.
Mrs Carrie Hallman OF Gilbert Falls
Into Fire and is Burned TO Death.

Lexington, Dec. 21.-One Of the
saddest deaths that has ever occurred
In this section was that Of Mrs. Car
rie Hallman. wife Of Mr.. G. Henry
Hallman, a prominent merchant Of
Gilbert, this county, on last Friday.
Mr.. Hallman left for his store at
the usual hour Friday morning, leav-
ing his wife apparently in the best of
health and cheerful spirits. only to be
called back a few hours later to find
her In the agonies Of death. About 9
o'clock neighbors were attracted to
the Hallman home by a woman's
screams, and when they arrived at the
house they found Mrs. Hallman lying
on the floor with very nearly all of
her clothing burned and some parts
OF her body almost burned to q crisp.
1t Is the supposition that she had a
fainting spell and fell forward into
the fire. She expired within q few
hours, death coming as a relief to her
terrible suffering.
Mrs Hallman was A years Of age
and leaves, besides her husband, an
aged father, one brother and two sis
ters. She was a member of the Lu.
theran church and devoted Chris
tian.
She was buried at Shiloh Methodist

TWO TREASURERS SHORT.

In His Cash $17,67O.

Columbia, Dec 1s.-That the conn.
~ treasurer Of Hampton County. ].

o70.79 Is the official report made m
the governor today by the comptrol,er
general, the report being based on an
investigation made by Mr. E. b. VIII
son. chief clerk in the comptroller's
office. and by Mr.. Giles Wilson. State
oank examiner. Under the law. the
governor has the power to remove the
county treasurer on such a report.
The matter came to light when II
was recently reported to the COMP
troller general by the cashier of the
Loan and Exchange Bank at Hampton
rnat there was error in the amount re-
ported by the county treasurer as be-
ing on deposit to his official credit in
that bank. The comptroller general
requested the State bank examiner to
make an investigation and sent his
chief clerk to Hampton also for that
purpose. The report Of the State bank
examiner is submitted to the governor
also.
The chief clerk to the comptroller
general was unable to secure from the
county treasurer an explanation of thu
situation, but it is stated that Mr..
Langford, the treasurer, has been en-.
gagged in somewhat extensive business
operations, and he may have confused
his personal and official funds and sc-
counts, and eventually may be able
to straighten out the matter satisfac-
torily.
