HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
Negro Boy Killed by Log Train Shoot.
ing Afffay-PleaSant Social Function.

Harpers, August 9:-Another ne
gro was killed on the Marion branch
of the G & W railroad last Saturday
by one of the log train engines. The
boy was beating his way on the train
and had been put off three times.
The fourth time he attempted to
Jump from the moving train and in
some way became entangled and fell
under the cars. His head was severed
from his body. This is the third
negro killed here within ten days, all
caused by their own carelessness.
This last boy was raised in the town
of Harpers and was considered one
of the worst negroes in the commun-
itv. At the time hewas killed he had
run away from his parents, who were
hunting him daily.
Two young white men of the Rose
mary neighborhood, named Jones and
Downing, had difficulty a few days
ago. After the first trouble Downing
went home and got double barreled
shot gun and when he met Jones he
emptied the contents of both barrels
into Jones body. Not being at close
range the wounds inflicted are not
considered serious. The young men
were good friends and neighbors.
A birthday party was given at the
home of Mr. and Mrs L D Pipkin on
Railroad street in honor of their ac-
complished daughter, Miss Mamie,

volving, as it turns out, about
fire years of delay.
The matter has been hanging
about two years, and a few OF
US wish to pay our notes, build
the court house and Jail as we
promised the people prior to the
election, and let the town reim-
burse us when the legal and
constitutional requirements are
complied with and the bonds
voted. However.this did not suit
the majority of note givers, and
a meeting was held about two
weeks since, in which it was de-
cided that the commissioners
would not cll. for the collection
of notes until the expiration Of
three years. The truth is, as
they we'll know, the notes are
not, and never ill be, collect
ible legally, anti ey are only
waiting and hoping .hat the town
will bond, as l believe it ulti-
mateIy will do, and relieve them
from moral obligation. illegally
collectible, Why do the commits
sioners not collect them and
build the court house and Jail?
| believe l made a liberal al
lowance when | stated that not
more than eighteen thousand
could now be collected on moral
grounds, because of the fact of
the changed financial condition
of a number of note givers, and
of course as time passes, the
amount will decrease, because
more people fail than succeed in
life.
There is another point on
which it Will be well to caution
your people. Our people were
promised a court house and jail
by the town, without cost to
them, and it seems to me the
town ought by every considera-
tion of justice to pay the rental
of hall for court purposes and
office rent of county officials till
the court house is built; but it
has failed to do so, and the
county has to foot the bill.
There is another point upon
which you might warn the zeal
Gus new county promoters, and
that is on the cost of attorneys.
They would do we'll to have 4

think if you will refer the
note to any good lawyer he will
tell you in substance that there
are so many defects and loop
holes, to say nothing of the con-
sideratlon, that it could not be
collected in any court.
First Of all, it is an agreement
without consideration. There is
no personal consideration to the
maker of this note on paper, or
whatever you may call it, and
therefore he would not be bound
on that ground.
In the second place, the pay

Now, unfortunately, there is no

of course if suit were brought
a complete answer would be
that the town Of st Matthews
has not failed to build A court
house and Jail, but that she pur-
posed doing so.
l believe | am safe in saying
that few, if any, who gave notes
ever dreamed at the time that
they would be called upon for
payment. They were told it was
a mere form, and that the town

Kingstree, sc.
Dear. Sir:-Your letter duly
received, and would have been
replied to earlier, but for press
of business.
l wish it understood that | am
a new county advocate and have
always been, but will point out
some of the pitfalls into which
our county has fallen, in order
that your people may profit by
our experience and mistakes and
not be too easily mlsled by rash
campaign promises, the result
of which may be to repent at
leisure.
During our new county cam
paign when the issue was in the
balances, the citizens of st Mat
thews petitioned the town coun-
il to pledge the town to erect a
commodious and up-to-date
!6urt house and jail in every
particular, without cost to the
county," The council on receiv-
ing this petition proceeded to
pass a resolution binding the
town to do so. Several weeks
passed and it was found that
such a promise did not satisfy
the voters in our territory, and
it was proposed and understood
that certified checks to the
amount of $4,000 would be put
up by the citizens as a guaran-
tee that the court house and jail
would be furnished by the town.
In lieu of this, by some means
the following note form was
substituted; $4,000. On de
mand l promise to pay to I \

it is drunk by the members Of the club.
There Is No Law.
There is no law on the books now
that will prevent this kind of business.
The League officers and attorneys
have sought in vain for some way to
overcome the business, but they have
failed. Now, they propose to go be-
fore the legislature and ask that the
local option law be amended so as to
put a stop to the shipping in Of liquor.
OF course the Indiana legislature
cannot pass any law that will stop the
shipping in of liquor from other states.
but it is said that the Anti-Saloon
League and the other temperance
forces in the country will go after
Congress at the next session and try
to have federal law passed that will
put a stop to that also.
