HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
A Prohibition Picnic Projected R F D
RouteS-Other Local News.

Harpers, July RI am Informed
that there will be picnic at this
place on July 13 for the purpose OF
getting the people out to hear ad-
dresses on prohibition. The Anti
Saloon league is making a desperate
fight, but how and what will be the
outcome | will not venture to pre-
dict.
Our sister town, Rosemary, is now
asking Harpers to reduce her town
territory and give Rosemary room to
become a town. It seems, however,
that Harpers would rather grow
than to diminish. We sincerely
bope to see Rosemary become a
thriving city, but the little town of
Harpers has nothing to offer or to
spare to aid her upbuilding.
Petitions are out for an R F d route
from Harpe7s mp the Gapway pub
lie road to Bland's bridge, thence
across Black river to the place of
the late D N Kellahau, and down
the Black river road to Potato ferry,
crossing Black river again, and back
to Harpers on the county line road,
distance of "a to 80 miles.
No. 2 proposed route goes out from
Harpers south on the county line road
six miles to point known as the
Daniel Avant place, then going
west to Oak Ridge church, dis
tance Of four miles to the EarPs
public road, nerth for seven miles,
then east on the Gapway road for
six miles back to the starting point,
total distance of twenty-three
miles. The granting of either or
both of these routes will add ma
terially to the upbuilding of this
community.
Our little town has had another
enterprising business opened here,
that of w j Parker, who has
opened an date stove and
household furniture business. We
wish Mr. Parker much success III his
business and a pleasant stay among
us. We have openings here for
many more good people.

HORRIBLE crime In PICKENS.
White Woman Eighty three Years Old
Victim of NEGRO Rape Elend.

Pickens, July 10:-One of the
most brutal crimes that has occurred
in this county for some time was
committed last week, the victim be-
ing respectable old lady 83 years
of age, living by herself, but close
to one of her sons. After she had
fastened the doors and retired for
the night, IMAM came to her bed
side and demanded her money. She
told him that she had no money;
that her son had it, whereupon ne
criminally assaulted her.
He gained admittance to her
house by going up a ladder to an
upstairs window.
The lady does not know positively
who it was, as it was dark, but
knows it was a negro by his klnky
hair.
The matter was kept quiet until
yesterday. Suspicion rested on Sam
Vaughn, negro, who was working
in the settlement. He begged his
employer yesterday morning to can
eel the contract, which was done.
The negro made one statement,
which taken in connection with
other circumstances, LED to his arrest
yesterday evening and he was placed
in Jail last night. The people of
the eastern side of the county are
considerably wrought up over the
deed.

THE ROW Still ON
In CALHOUN COUNTY.
PEOPLE IN The COUNTRY RESENT BEING
FOOLED and NAY Vote TO CHANGE:
COUNTY Seat.

At -Four Holes Saturday we
heard during the day that the vote
for bonding Calhoun county. if it
were ever ordered, might resultin a
decided surprise.
One gentleman in speaking to US
said emphatically that when the
campaign was on tor the establish
ment of Calhoun county, ST Mat
thews had virtually promised to
build the courthouse and Jail, with
out cost to the county. "It is
true" said be, that "they pledged
themselves to give $4,000, but
they always made it appear that
that sum would be ample and that
the country people would not be
called upon to pay one cent in taxes
or in any other way for the public
buildings. 1t now develops that
$40, 900 will not build the court
house and jail, and if it comes 10 a
question of voting on the bonding
of county the people may resent the
fact that they were fooled and may
vote to change the county seat to
Cameron.
"The only way ont of it for ST.
Matthews" concluded this gentle
mar as he mopped his brow under
the tall pines of Ed Rickenbsker's
grove, lis not only to cough up
that $4,000 she promised, but also
put up whatever additional amount
that may be necessary to cosstruct
both the Jail and the courthouse. !"
Il am going over to dinner
now," said the Calhounite, "but
my digestion won,d be much better
If | felt that We folks in the coun-
try were not going to be called
upon to put up money for court

ELECTION ORDERED
FOR RU7LEDGE COUNTY.
TO Be HELD ON AUGUST IL, SAME DAY
As ELECTION ON DISPENS
AIRY QUESTION.

Governor Ansel yesterday ordered
an election for Rutledge county, the
same to be held August II. The pc
tition for this election was signed,
according to the requirements, by
more than one-third of the qualified
electors in those portions of Will
liamsburg, Clarendon and Florence
counties proposed to be cut off to
form a new county. This petition,
embracing the territory set forth IN
detail therein, was presented to Gov
ernor Ansel and it was asked that a
vote be allowed on the establishment
of the proposed new county.
Later on an amendment was al
lowed eliminating from the proposed
county that portion of Florence
county which was set out IN the pc
tition and adding small portion OF
Williamsburg county. The lines are
given in the Governors proclama-
ton, issued to-day, and it is stated
that the boundaries of the new
county, the number of inhabitants,
the tax property, las shown by the last
tax returns, and that the lines do
not come within eight miles of any
court house, all come up to the re-
auirements of the law. The territory
embraces 409.94 square miles, and
there are left in Clarendon more
than five hundred square miles and
in williamsburg more than five hun
dred, so that the law is observed IN
this respect.
The election is to take place Aug,
ust II, and the voters are to vote
"yes" if they wish the new county,
and emo" If they are against the
same. The commissioners are to make
all arrangements for the election
The name for TIE proposed county is

ELLERBE AND JOHNSON i'll.
Condition of Two Carolina Congress-
men REGARDED as Serious.

Washington, July 12:-Consid-
erable alarm is felt here by friends
of Congressman Ellerbe and John
con, because Of the fact that both Of
them are considered seriously i'll.
Mr. Ellerbe has been a patient in
Providence hospital for six weeks
with fractured leg, and he has, 1t
is understood, today developed
pneumonia. Because of the strict
rules being observed at the hospital
it is difficult to secure any partic-
ulars.
Mr. Ellerbe's colleagues IN Congress
are, however, considerably worried
over the fact that after apparently
getting along nicely he should take
this bad turn.
Representative johnson was taken
i'll on the floor of the House Friday,
and was assisted by some of his
friends and employers at the Capitol.
Like the case q Mr.. Elllerbe, it is
almost impossible to secure details,
but alarm Is being felt over his
condition. Mrs Ellerbe is here,
and members of Johnson's family
have also arrived.
