wife at Columbia. S. c. Franklin
claimed to represent the Christian OBJ
server Of Louisville. KY. He is chars-
ed with squandering $4,000 Of his vic
TINS money. He will be taken to Co.
| lumbia to be tried for alleged desertOn
of his lawful wife" The Columbia
State of this morning has the follow
ing: Neither Chief Of Police Cathcart
nor Sheriff Coleman had been notified
last night of the arrest of Franklin,
| though 1t was on Sheriff Colemans re-
quest that the man was arrested"
Sent Back to Virginia.
A crazy man. who has been an object
of very considerable concern to the
York county authorities during the
past few weeks. has been disposed of
by his return to his home county in
| Virginia. The mans name Is Robert
King. He had been around the Rock
Hill cotton mills for several months,
until about three weeks ago, wnen he
became so violently insane. that it was
deemed advisable to lock him up in the
county Jail. When 1t developed that
he had not lived in South Carolina long
enough to acquire citizenship his case
became q puzzle, because as rule,
| South Carolina does not undertake to
provide for the care of the insane of
other states, no more than other states
undertake to provide for the insane OF
South Carolina. Probate Judge Will
| liams wrote to the Virginia authorities
at Richmond: but could get no satisfac-
ton, beyond the suggestion that the
| insane man be returned to Henry
| county, from which he claimed to have
come, and that he would be turned over
| to his relatives there, or to the author
tiles. A letter from Kings relatives
was to the effect that they would be
glad to take charge Of him, If he could
be returned to them. but that they were
too poor to bear the expense Of his
transportation to Virginia. During his
stay in the York county jail, Kings
| conduct has been characterized princi-
pally by more or less incessant rawlings
and a disposition to tear off all the
clothing that was put on him. The
sheriff, however did not consider him
as being at all dangerous. Mr.. John
| N. O'Farrell took King back to Vir-
ginia, leaving last Wednesday after
| noon.
County Politics.
| Fort Mill Times: AS the time fol
| the holding Of the Democratic club
| meetings and the county convention
| approaches, the voters are beginning to
manifest interest in things political and
are wondering who will be the candi-
dates for the county offices in the Au-
| gust primary, and who will ASK 10 be
sent to the general assembly from old
| York. The meetings Of the dozen OF
more Democratic clubs in the county
| will be held on Saturday. April 23
when club officers will be elected for
| the next two years and delegates chos-
en- to the county convention on Mon
| day, May 2. At the county convention
| the successor of w. B. Wilson, Jr, the
| present chairman, will be elected. as
will tine delegates to the state conven-
| ton and a member Of the state Demo-
| cratic executive committee, and ar
rangements made for the county pri-
| maries. The state convention will be
| held in Columbia on May IS. The ex-
ecutive committeeman from York cOun.
ty is ]. c. Wilborn. Among Forc Mill
voters considerable interest Is develop
ing as to the next Legislative delega-
| ton. The present delegation is COM
| posed of w. B. Wilson, Jr., Of Rock
| Hill: j. P. Hollis Of Rock Hill: j. S.
| Glasscock of Roddeys, and .. l.. San
ders Of McConnellsville. Senator w.
H. Stewards term does not expire this
year. Mr. Glasscock Is the only men,
ber Of the delegation who has served
| more than one term. 1t is not known
| whether any or all Of these gentlemen
will offer for reelection, but 1t seems
| that Mr.. Wilson does not care to be re-
| turned to the legislature, as state
ment was published in the Rock Hill
Herald some weeks ago that he would
not again be a candidate, and he has
not denied the accuracy Of the state
ment. The supposition is that Mr.
Hollis will ask for reelection, as will
Mr.. Glasscock. Mr.. Sanders has not
stated what he intends to do. Two
years ago Fort Mill was left out in the
| countys representation for the first
| time in years, S. H. Epps having failed
of reelection by a small majority. t
Is said that friends Of Mr.. Epps are
trying to induce him to enter the race
| this summer. If ne does not announce
| himself, 1t Is practically certain that
another Fort Mill man will become a
candidate.
