SLASHER SCORES WOMEN.
Unknown Culprit Cuts Up Clothes i'm
Subway Station.

New York. March 1S.-Complaints
which are reaching the police indi-
cate that a "slasRer" is again at
work in New York. Several women
have reported that their garments
have been cut in the subway station
at And street.
All cases bear a striking similari-
~ which makes it appear as If the
work were being done by one man,
using the same sharp knife. In most
instances the garments cut have
been women's coats, slashes a little

specifically on the case, the culprit
was never captured.

War and Talk Over Their War
Experience.
Experience.

| Newberry, March 17.-Mr. Samuel
Dixon, of Florence, came to Newber-
ry recently to visit Col. ID. A.Dickert.
and thereby hangs tale, says the
observer, which it relates as follows:
In the closing days of the Confed-
eracy. during the spring of 1865.
zen. Hardee, then approaching Che
raw in his retreat before Sherman's
invading army, sent for Col ID. A
| Dickert, of Newberry county. of tbe
famous Old Third regiment, and told
MIN he had a dangerous and impor-
tan work to be done, that was to
carry message through Sherman's
lines to General Hood, who was then
| down toward Savannah, and tell
General Hood where to meet Uur-
dee's army. The general knew of
some of Col. Dickert's secuted the
mission and was permitted to select
MS companion. Captain Richard
" Neal recommended to him a Young
man In his company by the name of
sam Dixon, saying that he was quiet
and cool and not afraid of danger.
Colonel Dickert selected MIR. Dixon.
and he accepted without hesitation
They knew that they would have
to disguise themselves to get through
sherman lines. and that if caught
thelr lives would pay the forfeit:
but that did not deter them. and
they set out on their mission
strangers hitherto, but now strong
friends, bound together by common
cause and common danger. They
fulfilled their mission, passing twice
through Sherman's lines.
Some time ago Mr.. Tom Harrell
or Newberry, was in Florence and
was talking with Mr.. Dixon. who now
llVes there, though at the time above
spoken of he was from Richland
county. Mr.. Dixon asked him if he
knew man from Newberry named
ID. A. Dickert Yes. he said. he
knew him well; saw him very often
FROM that correspondence ensued
between the two former comrades
in-arms, resulting in cordial and
pressing invitation from Colonel
Dickert to Mr. Dixon to visit him i'm
Newberry. On Tuesday Mr.. Dixon
came, and the two men, who had
braved death together forty-four
years ago, stood face to face for the
first time since then. Both men
have held their own well, Mr.. Dixon
being particularly active and bright:
tall and as straight as an Indian; of
quiet demeanor, but cheerful and
full of life-like young man but
for his gray hair; and gray hairs
have ceased to be a sign OF old age.
The men are now 65, there being
three months difference in their
ages. When they performed the
dangerous feat of carrying General
Hardee's message they were little
more than boys. and yet had seen
four years of hard fighting.
Speaking of Mr.. Dixon, Colonel
Dickert said that he was the bravest
and most cheerful man under hard
ships and dangers he ever saw.

connecting the extensive operate ms
of the international gang of forgers

ringleaders of which are under ar

the surface as result of the inter-
national police investigation now in
progress. AS stated at the time Of
the arrest week ago the operations
of the gang were confined chiefly
to New York and London.
The capture of the four leaders
was due to the misgivings of Sigor

the engraving of an immense number
OF checks, varying in value from $40
to $500 apiece, which they represent
ed were required by the American
Express Company for it's branch es-
adjustments in Rome, Genoa and
Naples.
Signor Polotti confided the affair
to the police, who directed him to
proceed quietly with the commission,
while they prepared a surprise for
as many as possible of the gang.

compulsory education is neither need

in others it is eminently desirable.
School districts, county and incor-

decide the question for itself. The
passage of law allowing each school
unit to decide this question for itself
will soon show whether the people
