"A THIEF CAPTURED.
Where Some OF The Stolen BicycIes
- Went

- Went.
Mr.. John ID. Epperson, special
deputy sheriff. went to Gourdin's Sta
ton Saturday night with a warra at for
the arrest of Oliver Potts, a negro
who had made a raid on the house Of
l.. r.. White and stolen a gold watch
lob, ladies coat, tailor made skirt,
a hat and other articles. Mr.. Epper-
son was furnished with description
Of the stolen articles, and within q
short time after reaching Gourdins
he was on the trail Of the stolen goods
and the man. He recovered the watch
that night from negro woman to
whom it had been given by a man
who bought it from Potts. Sunday
he captured Potts and that night he
returned with his prisoner. He did
not succeed in recovering the cloth
ing, as Potts sister had diked up in
the outfit and gone off to attend a big
church meeting.
While in Gourdins Mr.. Epperson
was put on to the fact that Potts had
sold six bicycles in the neighborhood
within the past few mo1ths. Mr.. G..
{. Parsons gave him his active assist
ance in working up the bicycle cases
and thanks to his efforts Mr.. Eppor-
son succeeded in locating four Of the
wheels and obtaining a description Of
them. The two other wheels he did
aot find, but Mr.. Parsons will keen
a watch for them and they will also
be located soon, it is thought Mr..
sEpperson has succeeded in finding the
owners of two of the wheels stolen bv
Potts and will probably be able to To-
cate the owners OF the others as he

recital of the fact If the Legislature
voted away more moaey than the
State will receive from all sources dur
ing the current year, Governor Blease
has taught the legislators a long
needed and meritcd lesson.
If the income of the State this
year will equal or exceed the total
amount appropriated hy the legisla-
turc, Governor Bleasa was guilty Of a
high handed outrage in vetolLg Ger
tain items in the appropriation bill.
The legislature is responsible to the
people for its acts; and it is the duty of
the legislature to levy taxes for the
support of the state Government and
to make appropriations for the va
rious departments and for specific
purposes, ald when the Governor un-
dertakes to dictate to the legislature
how and where the States money
shall be spent, he exceeds his authority
and is meddlirg with coordinate
department of the Government in an
unwarranted manner. Unless the leg
islature put itself in the wrong by maxi
ing appropriations in excess Of the
States income, Governor Blease can
not successfully defend his act.

Friday afternoon a very large and
much interested crowd congregated
in the Recorders court room to hear
the preliminary trial OF three small
white boys who were charged with
stealing chickens. The boys who
were Robert Griffin, Norris Richard
son, aAd Jack Wheeler, had already
confessed, having taken the chickens
and had told to whom they had sold
them.
The only only evidence put up was
that by r. b. Phillips, a colored hack
man and storekeeper, and a white
storekeeper on Manning avenue, who
testified to having bought the chick
ems from the boys The recorder af-
ter hearing the evidence decided that
they should be held on the charge {

sent up to the higher court for trial.
He was unable 10 fix bond for them
as the offense Of which they were
charged was a felo1y and bail for
such an offense must be fixed BY a
circuit judge.
The depredations of the boys had
covered a period of about one month
and many persons had suffered at
their hands.

lesser value. After the evidence in
the case had been taken the Record
er dismissed Willie Rogers as there
was nothing said against him, but
held the other two boys for trial at
T.,
being fixed at $400.
The witnesses in the case were:
III. A. Rose, agent for the Southern
depot who testified to the fact Of
what was taken from the building and
that it was taken Tuesday night. Mr..
G. A. Coley, special detective agent
for the Southern road, stated that he
had been told by Dawkins that he
had been given a driAk of whiskey the
night before by Thigpen. He was
brought on up tD the guard house
where, after son.c time, he was pev-
suaded to tell where the whiskey that
he had drunk came from. Chief

then weat down to the old cotton
Factory under which the stuff had
been hidden. Chief Bradford had
waited out in the street while the
others went 70 the place the goods
we're supposed to be concealed. Mr.
Bradford had seen the Thigpen boy
come from the side Of the building
and had Immediately given chase.
Thigpen ran back uldcr the building
right into the arms Of Mr.. Coley who
was examining the goods.
Most Of the tobacco and about half
Of the whiskey was recovered while
the other goods were not. AS no
evidence was given against Rogers.

tion in the United states that had its
inception in constitutional pro-
vision.

BALFOUR RESIGNS
AS PARTY LEADER
LEADER on UNION PARTY RE
SIGNS ON ACCOUNT or IN
CREAsING AGE.
NO SUCCESSOR Selected
Leadership WIN Probably BE Decided
Among Two Of several ,andl-
dates Mentioned.

LONDON, Nov s. The union party
is TO swap horses while crossing the
home rule stream. Arthur j. Balfour
at am emergency meeting this after
noon announced 10 his constituents,
his retirement from the leadership Of
the party ON account of increasing
ngo and the desire for the leadership
to pass into younger hands, was the
reason he gave iH speech marked
hy much feeling. But no one doubts
that the increasing attack against him
hy the younger conservatives has been
instrumental ia bringing the tariff re-
former TO this conclusion.
Few believed that Mr. Balfour
would drop the helmet at such an inn
portant crisis even In the face Of the
conservatives continually asking for
his resignation.
Leadership Divided.
While the eX-premier was reoog-
nizcd the leader Of the whole party,
the leadership win now be divided,
his successor probably the Right
Honorable Walter Hume who repre-
sents the Strand, sharing it with Lord
Lansdowne. A caucus Monday win
choose new leader Advance tariff
reformers favor Austin Chamberlain
while Sir Edward Henry Carson. Dub
lin University and T.. f.. Smith Wal
ton division of Liverpool are men,
toned.
Mr.. Balfour was received by the
king today and informed his majesty
of his decision. During his speech
before his constituent, he said:
Doesn't Want Responsibility.
81 desire to leave the position OF
heavy responsibility which | hold be-
fore ] can be suspected Of suffering
from that most insidous of all dis
eases. that disease which comes upon
those, who without losing their health
or intellect, nevertheless get petrified
In the old course they have pursued;
whose authority grows because they
have been SO long in public service or
are great men OF science, or eminent
men of business but who cannot deal
with the problems which in this
changing world are perpetually aris-
ing with conditions.
mo man knows himself when that
hour arrives. I am vain enough to
hope that have not reached that per-
iod. But | would be miserable II
ran the margin too fine"
No Party DisScnsion.
Mr.. Balfour deprecates the reports
of party dissension. He believes It to
be in normal condition and declared
that the country was fast firing OF
sweeping radical legislation. The
party he said, would soon return to
power Many conservatives contend
that the question Of his health Is the
only reason for Mr., Balfour's retire
mcut.
The liberals and adherents Of the
Irish party regret tat the unionist5
win loose a great share Of interest in
Mr.. Balfour's resignation,
