religious zeal in all denominations.
There were six accessfons to the Bap-
tist church and six to the Presbyterian

The ministers OF the other denom-

meetings and it was taken as pleas
ant evidence that the fraternal rela-
tion between them overcomes minor
differences.
The new pipe organ ordered for the
Presbyterian church last fall has just
been installed and was used in the
service Sunday morning. Miss Anne
G. Burgess played it in way that
charmed her hearers.
The choir made special preparation
for the occasion, rendering two an
thems of great beauty. Mrs. W. b.
Owens, Mr.. E. II. Hall, and Mr.. Whit

WILL JOE JOHNSON
HAVE OPPOSITION?
Two or Three Greenrillc Men Said to
be Printing For the Race
Next Summer.


Mondays issue of the Greenville
News carried political gossip story to
this effect:
Though the season for congression-
al politics is some months away. the
political pot is beginning to boil, and
the race for honors in the fourth con
gressional district THIS year should be
one worthy of close following by
the voters OF the counties of Greenville
Spartanburg, Union and Laurcns.
Congressman Joe Johnson, repre-
senting this district in Congress for
the past number of years, having
beaten the Honorable Stanyarne Will
son for the place, has announced
that he Will again otller himself for
reelection, and asked who would be
his rivals. This is question that is
hard to answer, though it is an alb
solute certainty that several promi-
nont men will be in the race against
him.
Nothing is known here of the aspi-
rGtions of the political men i'm this
district, that is as to what the coun-
ties of Union, Spartanburg and Lau-
rcns will offer in the way of oppo-
ncnts against MIR. Johnson.
But the writer is in position to
say that at least two men from this
county Will make the race this com
ing summer against Mr. Johnson
1t is understood ON good authority
that two prominent men are now Sc
rously considering whether or not
they will offer themselves for cleo
ton.
The many friends In Grcenville of
Attorneys AVlin III. Dean and B. A.
Morgan hope they will consent to en-
ter the race. Their names have been
mentioned as probable candidates for
the honors. They would make good
race, for they are men of the calbrc
that South Carolina needs in Wash
ington.
When seen by a representative of
this paper, Mr. Dean said he would
not talk ON the matter as he hadn't
yet given it any Thought But his
many friends are anxious that he en-
ter the race and pressure may be
brought to bear on him in the mat
ter.

CHICKEN THIEF CAPTURED

There has been a great deal of
chicken stealing going on in the city
during the past few weeks and within
a week a dozen hen houses have been
robbed The thief. or at least one Of
them. and the most notorious one that
ever operated here, is now safe in Jail

ceived and used the stolen goods. has
been arrested as we'll
Saturday night Mr.. W. E. Gray, who
is better known as Barber joe" and
who is something OF an amateur de-
tective, caught a young negro boy
who had stolen his axe and was pre-
pairing to give him a whipping. They
were in the Converse lumber yards
After the first lick the boy yelled and
begged for mercy and Mr.. Gray's
heart relented. Just then another ne
gro was seen slipping through the
yard. and the boy told Mr.. Gray If he
would not whip him he would tell him
about the other man. He said the man
was the one who was stealing the
chickens and selling them to the ne
gro restaurant run by Cockfeid near
the market
Mr.. Gray went to the restaurant a
little later. which was after midnight,
and asked for some fried chicken He
was told that they had none but would
have plenty before morning. Mr. Gray
they looked up the policemen. Baisden
and Moxley. and the three posted
themselves about in different places
to await the arrival of the chicken
thief with his chickens.
One of the men was stationed inside
OF the restaurant. They almost des-
paired Of his coming and it was grow
ing light when he was seen slipping
along with a bag on his shoulder. He
came on in and the cook asked him
what he had. He said seven chickens
He was told where to put them and
laid them down. He was then arrest
ed and locked up temporarily in the
city Jail. The chickens were placed
on ice and yesterday the city officers
and Mr. w. E. Hutson endeavored to
find the owners. The chickens had
been killed.
The man is called "Slewfoot." His
name. however, is Andrew Williams.
He is past middle age and has served
more than half Of his life in the PEN
itentiary. Every year he is sent up
from this county for a short term and
as soon as he is out he goes to steal
ing again. This time the officials will
make the charge Of notorious thief''
against him, in addition to the spe-
cific charge Of stealing chickens Sat-
urday night. On this sentence the
court can give him a maximum SEN
tence Of ten years and the public will
not have to support him with choice
chickens for some time to come.
Mr.. Henry Gordon found near his
place yesterday morning a sack with
chicken and a turkey inside, both
dead. Among the sufferers from the
thief was Hamp Chambers. who lost
several Of his fine fowls Friday night.
