rested. Inc DON is very young ah'
evidently had been reading about the
easiest way of obtaining a passage tc
Savannah free. The boy mutilated the
first ticket he attempted TO fix up fol
himself to Savannah and had to fix
second one. He was evidently disap-
pointed at not getting more money
from the cash drawer for he must have
counted on getting his passage out OF
the Southern and also enough to pa!
his pocket change for the first few
DAYS. Or he might have been endeaV-
oring to get to Savannah for "gooo
time" and thought that he might gel
enough cash out of the Southern to
pay his expenses while in that city,.
That summonses from the office of At
torney General Lyon have been served
on several local parties to be present IN
the court on Monday morning, July
4th, at the convening of the summer
term of court for Chester county is
what the Lantern has learned. While
nothing definite has been obtained 1t is
certain that the dispensary trials Will
come up for trial before the coming
term of the court of general sessions
which convenes for a weeks session
on Monday, July 4, with Judge Shipp
presiding. Just what will develop in
these cases is not known. There are
two cases on the calendar, one against
Ja..es Farnum, charged with bribery
and one against Jodie NJ. Rawlinson,
Jos. B. Wylie, John Black, Jas. S. Far
mum, John T. Early, H. Lee Solomons'
all charged with conspiracy. or these
all have made terms with the state en-
cept Black, Rawlinson and Solomons,
and only these three will be tried. 1t
is presumed that the others Will be
used by the state as witnesses. 1t is
said that the trial of the cases will be
taken up Immediately on the conVenlng
of court and will be in charge of So
licitor Henry, assisted by Attorney Gen.
eral Lyon. 1t is stated that the state
will hardly have the array OF hlgh
priced lawyers who conducted the first
trial of Farnum in Columbia and lost
the same last fall. 1t is rumored that
Solicitor Henry will have charge of the
cases and will be assisted by the at
torney general. Rumors of other IN
dictments in connection with the dis
pensary graft cases are flying thlcK
and fast. 1t is said that some OF the
long expected sensations will develop
at the coming term of court mere ana
that indictments against several more
will be returned by the grand jury. 1t
is common street talk that some peo-
pie will be indicted which will be a
surprise to the citizens, but just VINO
these are is not known. The bills or
indictment will be prepared by Attor-
ney General Lyon and handed out to
the grand jury by Solicitor Henry on
the convening of court. July 4, the
morning on which court convenes, is a
legal holiday, and following CUSTOM
the court will likely adjourn until
Tuesday morning when active work
will begin. Added interest in the COM
ing term is manifested by reason OF the
trial of the dispensary cases. The
state lost on it's first trial OF the dis-
pensary cases in Columbia and II IS
eynected to make it's second stand here
and that both sides will fight hard ana
bitter Is a foregGTe conclusion. Ihose
dispensary cases on the docket have
Nelson and Nelson Of Columbia, mark
ed as their attorneys. Mr.. ?. h. Nell
son. who conducted the defense for jim
Farnum and successfully so, has been
in bad health, but is reported as better,
but whether he will be able to take ac-
tive charge of the defense is matter
of speculation. The steps in these
cases will be watched with much inter-
est by the entire state.

Rehearsals have been held
almost daily for the last fortnight by
the scholars Of st. Johns Methodist
Sunday school who will take part III
the children's day exercises to be held
in the church next Sunday evening, al
$50 o'clock The exercises are under
the direction of the Sunday school su-

mental music. The selections of a
male quartet are expected to prove an
ENJOYABLE feature of the exercises. The
public is extended a cordial invitation
to attend the exercises. Since the
Boyd-Brock controversy arose several
weeks ago, little attention seems to
have been paid by the adjutant gen
erals department to the welfare oi
the South Carolina National Guard
Four weeks ago the second lieuten-
ant of the Fort Mill Light Infantry,
G.. G. Epps, sent in his resignation to
the colonel of the regiment. The res
ignation was thence Immediately
forwarded to the adjutant general :
office and It was expected that the
resignation would be accepted and
the colonel directed to order an cleo
ton for a successor. So far, however,
the matter seems to have been over
looked and the local militiamen are
wondering how much longer the COM
pany will have to suffer from the
negligence of the department. Il
