SHERIFF BUFORD
AFTER SEAB0ARD
ENTICING FARM HANDS TO NORTH
CAROLINA.
He Declares That Road Has no I'm!
migration License-Brought Back
Three Negroes From n. c.

The State.
"I am going to swear out a warrant
against the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road for failing to have an immigra-
ton license, giving them the right to
move negro laborers out Of South Car
olina into another State, which they
are now doing without having paid the
$500 for the necessary permission,
declared Sheriff M. NJ. Buford Of New
berry county, who passed through Co
lumbia last night with three negroes
whom he had arrested at Rockingham,
N. c., on warrants charging them with
having violated labor contracts with
Newberry farmers.
Sheriff Buford said that he was
baked in his effort to bring back a
fourth negro, charged with the same
offense, by the Sesboard, which would
not allow him to do so without requl-
sition papers. He will at once make
application to the governor for tho
papers, which an attorney for the road
demanded. According to Sheriff Bu-
ford, the negro was willing to come
back and face the charge of breaking
his contract.
Taking the LabOrers.
Call over my county," continued
Sheriff Buford, there have been COM
plants that the Seaboard railway was
enticing the negroes away from the
farms and taking them to North Caro-
lima, where they are put to work on
the construction gangs. The road sent
a negro agent around who has a beau
tiful yarn made up that he tells the
country negroes about how easy the
work on the railroad is and what a
good time they will have. am goias
to do my best to put stop to it. The
farmers lose their hands and the rails
road is to blame"
The name Of the negro agent wLo
got the four negroes to leave New
berry county is Jake Lever, according
to Sheriff Buford.
Requisition Papers Demanded.
Chief of Police Wright Of Rocking
ham, after being communicated With
by Sheriff Buford, arrested the four ne
groes and held them until he arrived.
He did not think that extradltlon pa
pers would be demanded and conse-
oue ntly neglected to provide hims slf
with them. He got three of the me-
groes, but an attorney for the Sea-
roard declared tna3 the fourth could
not go without the papers and he was
accordingly left in Rockingham. -
Sheriff Bdford says tI4at he will re-
turn fer the ncgro and will swear out
: warrant agai.lsr the SeabcarS f'r
iaking laborers firm this State WITH
out an immigration license, which
costs $500. There is also penalty o.
$500 attached for each violation Of the
license requirement.

Chairman Jones and Secretary Bell
had everything in such thorough or
der that the committee, of which Rob-
ort Lide was chairman had little trou-
bic in verifying the result.
The only surprise in the result was
the large lead that Scarborough took
over Hampton for second place in the
railroad commissioner race. In the
race for adjutant general there were
103,S65 votes cast, thus running con-
siderably above the expected vote.
Cansler and Scarborough.

panion runner, Mr.. Scarborough, OF
Clarendon. There has been no ques-
tion in other contests, since the morn
ing after the first primary.
Protests Received.
Chairman Jones read a telegram
from J. S. Griffin, of Colleton, that he
expected to file protest against the
nomination of Mr.. Alderman as State
senator. Mr.. Griffin telegraphed that
he could not serve the papers and get
to the meeting. It was received as
information.
A protest came from the voters of
Ward 4, in Columbia, that they could
not vote because the poll list was lost.
They wanted to vote and there was no
club roll.
Mr. Sinkler, moved that the voters
whose names were on the last club
roll be enrolled for the next primary.
This was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Drake the idea
was extended so that club rolls may
be perfected where original rolls have
been lost.
The Calhoun county committee was
sustained in it's having dismissed a
contest filed by Mr.. Mclaughlin.
The York county committee was al
so sustained in a magistrates con-
test.
The meeting of the committee was
entirely harmonious.
