THEY STOLE BOOZE
CHARGED WITH RoBBING HOLLY
HILL DISPENSARY.
Dispenser Martin, Steve Boykin and
Three Negroes Held on a Serious
Charge.

AS a result of Investigations made
through a High Point, N. c., detec,
tive agency, two white men. Dis
penser J. H. Martin and Steve Boy
kin, and three negroes, James Jami-
son, C.. C. Sweat and Fred Edwards
are in arrest for robbing the Holly
HNl dispensary of six hundred dol,
lars worth of liquor on the 7th OF
last month. They are charged with
burglary and grand larceny. They
have been granted bail by the mag
istrate in the sum of $1,000 each.
This dispensary was broken into
from the front, a pane of glass be.
ing removed from the front door
Investigation by Dispensary Auditor
West showed a shortage Of $600.35
in the stock, and other facts leading
him to suspect that the place had
been robbed.
Mr.. West employed a detective
from the High Point agency. Fol
the present Mr.. West will not make
public any of the evidence he has
against the accused men, but he feels
confident he has enough facts to
convict all Of them. They will be
given a preliminary hearing this
week.
The apparent mystery surrounding
the alleged robbery of the st. Stepn'
ems dispensary in the same county
the night before the place was re-
opened after the August elections
has not been solved. The same de-
tective has been at work on this case
but so far has not gathered evidence
sufficient to warrant any arrests. 1t
looks now as if the mystery will
never be cleared up. This place was
entered from beneath the floor, the
dispenser, who came in on hearing
a noise, finding a fire kindled on the
floor.
Mr.. A. J. Hydrick, of the Orange.

FATAL SHOOTING SCRAPE
IN WHICH A coLoRED BOY KILLS
A coLoRED MAN.
The Row Commenced by Two Wo-
men, Who Engaged in Two Fist
cuffs Before the Shooting.

A fatal shooting scrape took place
on the place of Mr.. Charles Inabinet,
about Ave miles from this city, on
Sunday morning, in which Tom
Barnes, Jr., shot and killed Tom
Mack. It seems that the wife of
Mack went to the home Of Tom
Barnes, Sr., and asked his wife for
a drink Of whiskey. She was told
that she could not get it. She then
went into the trunk of the Barnes
woman and found bottle Of whiskey
Of which she drank freely. About this
time Tom Barnes, Sr., came In and
was at once accosted by the Mack
woman. This brought on a fight
between the women which ended in
the Mack woman getting the worst of
it.
She then left the home Of the
Barnes, where the fight took place,
and went for her husband. In a
few minutes they both returned to
Barnes house and Mack started to
enter by the back way. He was met
by the older Barnes with shot
gun and told to keep out. Mack
then went around to the front Of the
Barnes house, where he was again
met by the older Barnes, who again
ordered him not to enter. About
this time the two women got in
another fight, and Mack went to sep
arate them. Then the elder Barnes
shot his gun off, he claims, to scare
Mack, who grabbed the gun and
Knocked the elder Barnes and his
wife down.
Il is then claimed by the Barnes
that Mack started for Tom Barnes,
Jr., who had just come on the scene
with his gun. The younger Barnes
then fred on Mack at close range,
the load Of small shot hitting him
in the back little to the side and
passing clear through him. Mack
fingered few hours after being
shot when he died. Mack was a
middle aged man, while Tom Barnes,
Jr., who did the shooting. is about
fifteen years Of age.
All three of the Barnes have been
arrested and lodged in jail to walt
trial. All the parties to the unfor-
tunate a8air are colored, and lived
near each other.

The Times and Democrat corre-
spondent has thought for quite a
while that Branchville was large
town, and now he Is in possession
of facts that will prove what he
thinks to be right. Some time dur
ing the first of this year, Alonzo
Baker, colored, who lives near Bow
man, S. c., decided that he wanted
to buy horse and buggy and that
the best place to go to get one was
Orangeburg. Alonzo, accordingly,
bought a ticket at Bowman and
boarded the train on the Branchville
and Bowman railroad for Orange
burg. After enjoying a ride on the
car fer about one hour, the car
slowed down and stopped, as he
thought at Orangeburg (but, of
course, it was Branchville). Alonzo
got of of the train and walked across
the Southern railroad tracks, and
as he had not visited this city for
some time, he said that he was not
certain 1thht it was Orangeburg.
So he walked on down Main street
until he got to where the sidewalk
is paved and then he said that when
he saw the sidewalk paved, that he
knew it was Orangeburg.
So he went on down town and
inquired for a sales stable and he
was directed to the well known es-
tablishment of Messrs. Smoak-Miley
Company. Alonzo went into the Of
flee and after asking the price on
a few different horses and buggies,
he finally selected the horse and
buggy that he must carry home.
He then paid half cash for the turn
out and ,pid the proprietor good
bye, with the promise that he would
be on time when his balance became
due. Messrs. Smoak-Miley Company
did not hear of their customer any
more until a few days ago, when he
came in TO settle up his balance, and
after investigating and finding out
for certain that he had found the
right man to pay, he told the fol-
lowing story: That since he bought
the horse and buggy he had moved
from Bowman to st. George, S. c.,
and that he thought all of the time
that he had done his trading in Or
:angeburg and the morning before
left st. George and went to Orange
burg, and that he inquired at all the
sales stables in Oran6eDurg in order
that he might find out the place
that he bought his horse and bug
gy, and after spending the entire
day at Orangeburg he was finally
told by some one that he had evil
dently done his trading at Branch
Vile, so he got on the train and
came down to Branchville and spent
the night here and early the next
morning he found the way to the
firm of Smoak-Miley Company and,
after examining their place, asked
the manager to please take his hat
off of his head so he could see his
head, and after the manager did
that, Alonzo then said that he was
satisfied that it was Branchville in
stead of Orangeburg and he, there
fore, paid his second insallment on
his horse and buggy and said that
he would know Branchville next
time.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not Blood OiseaSe--Cared by OIL Of
Wintergreen COMPOUND

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin speci aiist Dr.. d. d. Dennis, first
discovered the eczema germ and his
discovery was quickly taken up in
Germany and france.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil Of wintergreen, thymol,
giycerine, etc. The remedy is liquid,
not a mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the pores Of the skin. Washing
with this OIL of wintergreen compound
seems to take away tn, Itch at once:
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. The prescription has
now been used so long as to have prov
en- its absolute merit and we do not
hesitate to express our confidence in
