church get a very bad name. This is
the result Of the case that grew out of
an occurrence at the First Baptist

was no use to proceed further, but
Mr.. Kennedy's friends wished to have
as a part of the record the testimony

Little Things.

It is the little foxes that know the
grape vines and it is the little deeds
of kindness that keep our hearts IN
touch with each other.
Making my rounds Wednesday
about eight miles from town, Ill a
grove near one Of my patrons
homes, I saw a table, decorated with
flowers. Coming near, little Simmie
Longshore came running out and said
to me: "Uncle Pete, this is my BIRTH
day. T am years old today. You
must take dinner with me. Drive in
the grove"
I drove in the grove and did JUS
tice to the splendid spread. Little
Simmie, I hope you will have many
happy returns of the day, and that
you may grow up to be big man
but that your heart may be ever gen.
tie and kind, and that you may 60
down to old age, doing little acts of
kindness. Uncle Pete.

LONGEST DAY BE EVER SAW.
Mr.. W. A. FAINT Spent a Sabbath IN
Due West.
Daily Mail.

Daily Mail.
"Last Sunday week ago was the
longest day I ever spent,'' said Mr..
Wood A. FAINT today.
"I had been down to Due West
doing some work on the cars OF the
Due West railroad," continued Mr..
FAINT, "and had to stay over there
Sunday. It was a long, dull day. No
body went about the streets. Not
buggy or automobile or anything else
passed through town. Even the chick
ems did not crow Sunday morning, as
thev do on other mornings.
"In the afternoon I slipped away
from my boarding house and took a
lone ramble down on the branch. L
did not let anybody see me, you may
be sure. I saw some rabbits gam
boiling on the baseball ground, but
they had a scared look, as If they
were afraid the town marshal would
come along and shoe them away.
II have heard that the people OF
Due West will not eat eggs that are
laid on Sunday, but I do not know
whether this is true or not. But
do know that Sunday in Due West
is long, lonesome affair.
"Due West is good town, but,
like good people, it is lonesome.

CHIEF OF POLICE ARRESTED.
Batesburg Officer is Charged With
Attempted Rape.

Lexington, June 2.-Mr. John J..
Darby, chief Of police Of the town Of
Lexington, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Sim J. Miller upon a
warrant sworn out by woman Of that
town, charging MIN with assault with
intent to ravish. Nh. Darby was
brought to Lexington and was i'm
mediately released upon $4,000 bond
signed by Messrs. NJ. E. Rutland and
J. A. Written, Of Batesburg.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed on or about the 7th day of
February, this year. Mr.. Darby and
his friends declare that he is inno-
cent, and that it is a eoneocted scheme
to injure him because Of his untiring
efforts in rounding up the band Of
thieves, who had been operating in
.Batesburg for several weeks, and
which finally resulted in the arrest Of
three young men. Mr. Darby employ
ed two detectives to work up the case,
and one Of the men arrested was the
son Of the woman who has brought
the warrant against Darby. This, it
is alleged, incensed the woman, and
the arrest Of Darby upon the very SER
ious charge Of attempted criminal as
sault followed yesterday. The fact
that more than three months were al
lowed to elapse before she issued the
warrant, the friends Of the chief as
sert, shows eonclusively. that it is a
concocted scheme.
It is said that strong evidence
against the woman is on hand, and
her arrest on several charges will
probably follow within the next day
or two.
The woman is a widow, her hus-
band having died about two years
ago. She has been operating board
ing house in Batesburg since her hus-
bands death. It is said that she will
enter suit against the town Of Bates
burg for $4,000 for having removed
from her home an electric light me-
ter.
Mr.. Darby moved from Chester to
Batesburg about two years ago, and
has made most excellent police off,
Ger. He has been unrelenting in his
efforts to put the ban on crime of all
kinds in the town, and has made a
host of friends. It is said that the
town of Batesburg will "stand by
him in this trouble, and that he Will
have no trouble in making strong
defence. His arrest caused no little
sensation at Batesburg.

J. C. Bryner has installed his
operating outfit at shaft No. !
on the Sunburst lease, where he
will mine this lease.
LATE Griffith, Superintendent,
says that the ground is looking
fine, and as soon as the connec'
ton can be made with the mil
shaft, at which point, all the ore
from both the south and north
ground will be hoisted through
the mill shaft. South of the mil
shaft is lead and silicate ground,
while to the north it is mostly
lead with some sulphite zinc.
Sweeney G. Sons have Car Of
zinc ore now in the bins ready
for shipment this week. The
new development at this property
has shown up an unlimited
amount of high grade ore. A
new shaft is being sunk just to
the northeast of the mill shaft,
at which point the drillings
showed thirty-foot face of rich
lead and zinc at the 50-foot level.
The nine mills in the Miami
Camp are all turning out large
quantity of ore, the grade OF
which is improving and may
yet equal the high grade ore OF
the Quapaw-Baxter Camp. A mill
now being completed on the
Golden Hen" on the Baxter
Royalty Co.'S lease will be the
tenth mill completed in that
camp during the past year.
Mr.. Sherman is looking after
the development being made at
the Luther shaft and the drift
ing at this property is proving
to be most satisfactory. Having
drilled its twenty-acre lease
thoroughly, the Luther Mining
Co. is now proving up the lease
by underground work, piling up
the ore on the dump preparatory
to installing a modern mill,
which will be done this coming
spring.
Just to the southwest and adj
joining the Old Abe, the BLACK
Jack" is pushing the develop
ment of the land which it bought
some time ago. This and the
Nj. K. & T. are the only mines
that are being operated on any
thing except Indian lands. The
parties interested in the Black
Jack bought the fee to the twelve
acres on which they are opera
ting.

NEWS FROM
The MINES.

Reservation, not only from a min
ing point, but from the impor-
tance it will derive from the in
crease in the amount of land that
will necessarily be transferred
from the present Indian holder
to the white mans possession.
The preliminary work that has
been going on for the past four
years has been laying a broad
foundation for great development,
the progress taking on a most
aggressive form, which will be-
come keenly apparent during
the year of 1909.
The Omaha is being thorough
ly overhauled and the under
ground workings are being put
into shape in order to supply the
mill a continuous supply of ore.
The 'Mascotte" on the Minnie
Redeagle lease, is again under
development. Rich ore is being
taken out from the drifting which
is being done on the S5-foot level.
Captain Parker, manager of
the Hawkeye, is testing out the
surplus land on the Hawkeye
lease by drilling. We understand
the mill is to be put into opera
tion the coming week.
At the Success Mining Cos
lease (The Mason) two cars of
zinc ore is being made each week
and the ground shows an i'm
mense ore bed ahead of the drift
ing in all directions.
A change in management has
taken place at the Chicago Qua
paw property. on which Frank
Leonard has developed and in
stalled the mill for the company.
We understand Mr.. Collins Of
Chicago is to have charge of the
property in the future.
The ''Old Abe" shipped a car
of ore the past week and at the
rate this property is turning out
the metal it will load one to two
cars per week from this on.
Adam Kahr of Kansas City, is
giving this property his personal
supervision and is making a sue
cess of it.
The underground workings of
the Hobo Mine, and those in the
ground being worked by ]. c.
Bryner, on the Sunburst lease,
are coming close together and
within a short time these two
properties will be cut together,
as the ore bodies run through
both leases into the Omaha on
the east and the Eastman on the
west.
J. w. Creech has sold his lease
on the Joanna Mine to Caulkins
and Associates, who will mine
the property themselves. Mr..
Creech has made a marked sue
cess at this mine, and we are
sorry to see him leaving the
camp, but his health has been
such that he is obliged to give up
mining for 4 time at least. He
expects to 60 to Southern Louis
lana for the winter.
A more appropriate name could
not we'll have been selected to st
the property than the Good
Luck. The richness of its ores
has demonstrated that the owners
must have had a bunch" as to
what they had under ground,
and therefore it suggested the
apt title for the company opera
ting the lease. As the develop
ment progresses the ore bodies
enlarge, showing an immense
