P|CKP0CKET CAUGHT IN ACT.
HHAFIER PLIES HIS TRADE on
CROWDED STREET CAR.
Crook Jumped off When Alarm WAS
Given and Ran Across Capital
Grounds.

Columbia, Nov AT least one
pickpocket was practicing his profes-
sion among the crowds that thronged
Columbia yesterday. The gentleman
or the gentle hand was detected in
the act Of robbing a Fair Week visitor
on a crowded car which was nearing
the transfer station from Gervais
street. The crook came nea- gettins,
away with a wallet containing over
500, but he did not.
instead when the alarm was given.
he Jumped off the street car on Ger
vais street between Sumter and Main
and headed across the capitol grounds
toward the station house, followed by
several pursuers. Opinions differ as
TO whether, the l.ckpocllet went into
the state house itself in search Of a
hiding place. Anyhow, he was caught
on the western side Of the capitol
grounds and arrested by Officer Now
ton.
The pickpocket gave the name Of
Henry Jackson. He is about 20
years old. The Fair Week visitor h.
attempted to rob was J. T. Floyd OF
Sumter. Jackson was taken 10 the
county Jail for safe keeping, as the
experience of the Columbia police
with such characters has been that
they are very slippery.
The affair occurred about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Floyd had
been riding on the same car seat with
Jackson, whose deft hand he detected
on his pocketbook when he was pre-
pairing to get off the car. Mr.. FLOYD
gave the alarm, and Jackson made a
quick get away, but was followed and
arrested.
Jackson will be given a prelim-
mary hearing on the charge. Of lar
ceny from the person probably about
Saturday morning. Besides M.
Floyd and officer Newton, n. D..
Asmond is named as a witness in the
case.

A Message From Psssadent barrett.

A Message From Psssadent barrett.
Dear Bro. Poe: You have asked
me for a few words on how t. ef-
fectualize cooperation. I believe the
formula to be very simple one. 1t
reduces itself TO the, necessity Of find
ing the proper kind Of leaders. and
then working in harness with them.
not within olding confidence. but exact
ing a just accountability.
II. in the past. any farmers move-
ment has failed Of complete success.
II has been for lack of men to ma
terialize this doctrine. The ordinary
leader is plentiful. The leader Of the
farmer, who stays put" is exception
al.
He must expect to sacrifice person
al comfort. to endure criticism from
his own people patiently, TO accept
defeat with a smiling face. to meet
suspicion with a philosophic realiz-
alton that all will come we'll in the
end. Vanity can not figure in his
makeup. Ambition. save for SER
vice, must be rejected. II his special
business Is to market the product of
the farmer. he must know the pro.
duct. the market and the farmer. II
his business is to direct the farmer
the obligation of knowing the latter
is intensified.
Your readers may expect some
| magic prescription for successful CO.
operation. There Is none. 1t Is, as
! have stated. merely the careful
choice or leaders and then implicitly
following those leaders.
i may add that the Farmers Union
is developing leadership Of this rare
| character. That Is why I know 1t Is
to accomplish for the man Of the
acres a work unique In our civiliza
ton.
With best wishes, i am.
Very truly yours.

AUDUBON SOCIETY MEETS.
ANNUAL MEETING HELD WE'D.
NESDAY.
James Henry Rice Reelected "a Sec.
rctary - Matters of Importance
Discussed.

Columbia. Nov. 2.-The annual
meeting Of the Audubon Society IF
South Carolina was held in the Loan
and Exchange bank building yester
day. There were 300 members rep
resented. III. 0. Dantzler, the presi-
dent Of the society, was unavoidably
detained on account Of the serious
illness Of his brother. o. NJ. Dantzler,
sheriff Of Calhoun county.
Moreover, President Dantzler, hav-
ing served two full years, now retires
from the presidency. The society saw
him go with regret, and passed suit
} able resolutions, testifying to the
value Of The moral and active support
he has given the cause Of bird pro-
lection during his incumbency. His
successor has been named, but will
not be announced until he is officially
notified and has accepted.
The society feels that it's moral DO.
sition is stronger than ever, although
/
cured on account Of the lack of active
field work.
The matter Of extel ling the So
ciety's usefulness by increasing men,
bership and changing the mode of Sc
curing members was taken under ad-
visement and a plan adopted which
Will be published in full later. This in
the main looks to securing a perma-
nent endowment. SO that the society
may become independent Of small an
nual dues.
one OF the main duties devOviing
on the society by law is the sugges-
tion OF suitable legislation. The So
ciety reaffirmed its belief in the resi-
dent hunters license as the only
practical means Of enforcing bird
and game protection, and will ask the
general assembly to reconsider it's ac-
tfon and pass such license.
Recent events have strengthened
the society's determination to secure
for the farmers Of the State the pro-
lection for their crops and lands, to
which they have always been entitled,
ana which they have never received
from the general assembly.
For the present there has been no
change in the officers. outside Of the
president. James Henry Rice was re-
elected secretary.
The heasurer'e report showed A
sIrrsff balance 70 the credit OF the So
ciety, not counting the money bor-
roW-ed last year, and the return of
which was recommended in a special
message by Gov. Ansel, voted by the
general assembly, but vetoed by Gov.
Bleae.
The Audubon society feels content
with results 80 far, and Is ready for
a campaign more active than ever
waged before for the protection OF
the birds. The society now enters
upon the SIXTH year of it's work.

Grove Baptist churches last Decem-
oer. and who moved here with his

signing as his reason impaired health
and CONSEQUENT inability to properly
discharge the duties demanded ny

While Mr.. Satterwhite's action was
not entirely unexpected. still the in
formation was received with sincere
regret by the congregation, because
during his short pastorate all who
have learned TO know him and ap-
preciate his many noble traits of
character as well as consecrated life,
have come to estee.a him highly.
Mr.. Satterwhite's plans Tor the fu-

future he wili~ make his home in
