CLAYTON PETITIONS
FOR RESUMPTION OF
THE DAYLIGHT TRAINS

Clayton has just signed and sent in
q big petition urging upon the c. d S.
traffic department the need Of the day
passenger trains. lately discontinued
by that road from Trinidad to Texline
The CLAYTON citizen SAYS.
The curtailing of the train service
virtually leaves clayton with ono mri

commercial travellers to remain in

Clayton people have to make a two
days trip to Trinidad if their visit re-

ming The arrival of the only two
trains into the town during the late
hours of the night, and with the
train service, makes a most unsatls-
factory service for 20 progressive
community as Union county.

tied Clayton easily convinced n num-
ber of our business men that the
train had been run at a loss, and that

Bob Jones Will leave the pehl-
tentiary on May IS after a service
of l9 of a sentence Of 25 years, four
years of which were spent in the
Edgefeld county jail. At the State
penitentiary the records show that
he killed three men.
"Yes, I will leave the penitentiary
on May 49, said Bob Jones yester-
day, as he watched over the convicts
at work on the State house grounds,
land when I am once more a free
man I am going back to Georgia and

In 1885 Bob Jones, VINO is one of
the most picturesque prisoners at
the penitentiary, killed Edward
Presley and his two sons, Edward
and Charles Presley, after a dis
pute over boundary line. lie was
tried several times and was for four
years confined in the Edgefeld coun-
ty jail awaiting the outcome Of the
appeal to the supreme court. In
1891 he was brought to the peni-
tentiary, and it is said that he has
made a good prisoner and for the
greater part of the time has been a
trusty. AS the result of his good be-
havior several months Of his sentance
will be deducted. He has never tried
to escape and, it is said, has always
performed his work faithfully.
When Bob Jones came to the
penitentiary he was a physical giant,
with broad shoulders, erect body and
an athletic step. Now his hair is
snowy white. He feels keenly the
humiliation Of being a convict and
VOWS that he will yet live down his
past and make a man.
