negro boy who collided with the au-
tomobile driven by Strawn, was fined
SO and appealed the case. Strawn
and his wife, the boy, and the motor
man and conductor of the street car
around which the boy darted were the
witnesses Strawn told of the boy
coming from behind the street car
and running into his machine while
driven at the rate of ten miles an
hour. The street car was the Pot
win-West Eighth car and was stand
ing at the end of the line on Eighth.
A crowd of boys were playing around
it as the conductor changed ends
with the trolley. Leon Longstaff, the
motorman, testified that he saw the
boy run into the auto, striking the
hub with his knee and the fender
with his head. The conductor did not
see the accident.
Sam Pottinger the first of the last
bunch of wanted milkmen to appear
for trial was tried Saturday evening
and fined So for adding water to his
milk and IS more for taking the
cream from it. The theory was that
the milk was practically helpless at
ter he had gotten through with it. He
paid the fines.
Charlie Boyer has made his last wild
rush with the White Horse Gang"
Some time yesterday the tribe fitted
the shelter of the woods by the little
stream Shunganunga where it flows
along a mile west of TecumSeh and
tumbes into a great deep hole aided by
the waters of Deer creek Some think
there was a row among the party but
| the gang says mo" and the White
Brigade has long stuck together in
| their battles with the prohibitory law.
! Still it is a fact that Charlie was drag
| ged from the deep pool of the Shunga-
nunga dead and cold and wet and the
| officers and men at the city prison are
grieved-truly grieved and more gloom
| is on the faces than is .customarily reg
| istered at the station where every form
| of grief. wretchedness and crying is
met with stolid Indifference.
I'VE will miss Charlie. said Chief
| Eaton. There is hardly a thing about
| the prison which does not bear the
| touch of his hand. Everywhere you can
see some of his work, done while he
was here always as a trusty." Charlie
was So years old. By trade he was a
cabinet painter and worked for years
at the Santa Fe shops. But he was a
| locksmith as we'll and a good carpenter
| and jack of all trades. During the
| eight years, service of Judge Urmy al
| the police court, four years prosecutor
| and four judge, the deceased man had
/ been arrested on an average of once
| month for drunkenness and at the COM
! ing of Urmy was an old timer so it is
conservative to says that he was inn
prisoned on that charge more than a
| hundred times with fines from five to
| twenty dollars. 1T is too bad. That
| man could have been a useful citizen
/ and an honored one for he was intelli-
1 gent and honest as the day but he
could not let drink alone-that was his

the store and hurried up Kansas ave-

trolman Fribance on the beat was no

after him.
Chief Eaton and Jailer Hopkins
who had been at the city hall, were
returning to the police station and
passed Hicks walking briskly turning
onto Seventh street east. On Kansas
avenue they met Fribance who told
them of the theft. The chief think
ing that Hicks would likely be the
man having been in so evident a hur-
ry turned with Hopkins and hurried
after him. At the corner of Seventh
and Quincy they came upon him ex-
aiming the contents with an express
sion of chagrin on his face and a
string of disguised oaths filling the
air for there was little change in the
book. Hicks had not recovered much
from the shock when the officers took
him evidently thinking it a part of
his luck.

reached the scene, he found what we

the Smart Alec" standing at bay with
a bloody nose, and two other boys in
the room holding young Gonzales back.
don't think Gonzales ever had any
more fights after that. l remember
too. that he was always popular with
the boys who stood for the square
thing They knew exactly where to
find him. And it has been my obser-
vation of Mr.. Gonzales ever since,
that he has always tried to do the

not going to say that he is always
right. have had disagreements with
him, and expect to have more. we
are both pretty hard 10 convince at
times, especially when we may be look
ing at the same proposition from dit-
ferent viewpoints. But the work OF

been for the good of South Carolina,
every part of it, and l am sure 1t Will
continue in that direction.

Iumbia people who talked to me about
it, said they knew practically nothing
of Seminole until all the big row was

launched have been held in abeyance,
