Said to Otain the Drug from a Ger
tain White Man.

A dispatch from Lexington says a
prominent farmer from the Hollow
Creek section was there and stated a
fact that the law governing the sale
Of cocaine was being openly and flag
rantly violated IN his section. The
habit among the negroe was rapidly
becoming intolerable. N that farm
hands were using the dope to the
extent OF being useless.
He says that negroes carry X
around n their pockets. selling II At
chu1ca gatherings. and in some in
stances they become Wild and almost
uamanageable. One negro Is said
to have had as much as S12 worth
Of the drugs at one time. It is said
that It IS much easier to peddle CO.
caine than whiskey as 1t can be more
easily concealed.
It is thought that a prominent
gentleman living IN one OF the aea.
towns Is acting as kind OF whole
sale dealer. and that the negroes and
whites that have become addicted
TO the habit get their supply from
time to time.
1t is said that negro moving into
the community from Prosperity some
months ago started the use OF the
drug among the negroes. and the
habit has steadily gro:4. until most
Of the negroes IN the settlement use

and women use ii. It IS said.
1t will be recalled that not many
weeks age he mayor CT the town OF
i.eesville fined the violator Of the
cocaine law $500. He was tried on
FIVE differen: counts convicted and
fined 500 on each count. One ne
gro. Mack Manning. is now in Jail
having been sent up by Mayor Hen

A special dispatch from George

Treasurer J. F. Detyeas have been
current since the 18th instant. sol-
lowing an examination OF the books
By Comptroller Jones and Chief
Clerk e. 3. Wilson. but as nothing
OF an authentic nature could be
gathered nothing was mentioned in
the papers.
It is now definitely stated by those
In position 70 know and in fact Is
Admitted by Treasurer Detyers. that
there Is an apparent shortage OK
about $500, which cannot be &C
counted for. Mr. Detyens asserts
that mistakes in Bookkeeping iac+
dental to the complicated system IN
vogue In the Office is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for the outstanding balance
against him.
As Mr. Detyens is young man OF
qu!e, and thrifty habits .sd appears
to have always lived an upright life.
the idea OF his having used $500
OF the coun.y funds for his personal
ends seems most improbable. He

TWO LADS DROWNED
CHESTER YOUTHS MEET DEATH
IN BRJSEY CREEK.
Little known OF the Pitiful Tragedy
as No Witness Was Near Excep:
Possibly Another Small Boy.

a special dispatch from Chester to
The State says one Of the saddest
tragedies ever recorded IN Chester
County was enacted IN the waters Of
Brushy creek near Chalkville Monday
afternoon when Jesse. aged 10 years.
and John. aged y years. the two
little sons Of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. n.

The TWO little fellows. accompanied
by Perry Woods. the little son OF NJ:
nd Mrs. Frank Woods. left their
home Monday afternoon at about 2
o'clock and st-olled down to a lake
on Bcushy Fork creek IN Mr. Mills
pasture. By and by little Perry
Woods returned alone; the afternoon
wo-e away. and still the othe. two
boys didn'. come home. The parents
naturally became alarmed. and tAe
Woods boy was questioned as to
where they were. No satisfactory
information could be obtained from
h!m. however. and Messrs. Eli Wilks.
J. 3. Carter ard others organized a
party and proceeded 20 the swimming
place to look for them. fears beng
mad from the first that some accident
had betallen them on the creek.
Their clothes were found on the
bank OF the lake. which is about $50
feet long and several feet deep in
places and the search began. All
the party were good swimmers. and
but little difficulty WAS experienced
In anding the bodies and bringing
them to the shore.
The TWO boys were found only
about four feet apart. One little
body was rigid. while the other was
not. When Nessrs. E'i Wilks and j
3. Carter res he'd Chester IN guest o!
coans 10 statement had bees obtain
ed from Perry Woods as to the de-
tails OF the tragedy
It is supposed. though. that he wa:
along when tho two little Chalk boys
were drowned. Neither OF the VIC
eims could swim. and It IS likely thai
they ventured in beyond their depth
and were engulsed IN the waite.
