Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, May 13.-My! wasn't
those heavy rains last week? Regu-
lar trash movers. Farmers are try
ing to work their corn and cotton,
but it is too wet, to kill the grass,
which is plentiful and good looking.
Makes the old mules mouths water
as they pass by, looks so tender and
juicy. Corn and hay is getting so
high know that they don't get too
much of it to eat these days.
Some of our young men went fish
ing the other day, when they return
ed they looked so bum until they
scared a team of timber mules so
badly until they came very near hav-
ing a serious runaway, notwithstand-
s ing two men were holding them.
A drummer travelling through sell
ing his wares from his buggy, says
that he bought his buggy second
handed-that he had driven it 1000
miles since he had it. That some
times now each of the wheels would
60 in different directions hunting
stumps and fence posts to run up
against to get off the mud. And that
he never could get them to come
back until he named the buggy
Jones & Tison Zones entice 'em.)
Since then he has no more trouble
4 with them.
The young folks are having some
trouble getting material together to
form the hymenial cord. Some are
making better progress than others,
so we think we will get cake to
dream over in the near future.
Some strangers in town, but can't
tell their names, as have not met
them as yet.
Oak Grove school will soon close
with an entertainment on Friday
night and picnic on Saturday.
But don't forget Mt. Pleasant Sun

This is always good one, and all
enjoy the occasion.
y Vacation will soon bring our boys
and girls home, then our homes will
Iyen ND somewhat.
Why don't some of our farmers
turn their attention to truck farming
in a small way. Selling some very
fine cabbage raised here, nicer ones
than we can buy from the Young's
Island truckers. Beans and pota-
toes are sold in small quantities, and
more could be sold every day than
one would imagine.
Mr.. A. F. Henderson will soon COM
mence work on his dwelling on Main
street. Others are planning homes,
and no doubt will soon be worked up.

seven miles from this place, and shot
to pieces this afternoon. The mob Of
rs to 100 men surprised the two con-
stables and quickly securing the three
negroes finished their work in short
order. The negroes were: Alfred
D bin, 25 years O; age; Richard Dub
lin, 80 years of age, and Peter Rivers,
10 years of age.
All three of the negroes had con-
fessed to attempting to burn the house
of ]. E. Cook, mayor of Olar, early
yesterday morning. On February q
a destructive fire occurred in the busi-
ness part of the town, resulting in
much loss.
A fortunate circumstance prevented
Mr.. Cooks house from sacrifice to the
flames. By the merest chance he
came from his house to the porch yes
terday morning about $50 O'Clock.
he was surprised at glow coming
apparently from beneath the floor and
OH investigation found pile of ''fat'
splinters burning and an empty bottle
that had contained the oil used to
start the fire. With several buckets
of water he was able to extinguish the
blaze before serious damage had &C.
Cured.
A rigid investigation followed the
attempt to burn the mayors house.
In view of the fact that indications at
the February fire pointed to incendia-
ry origin, the search was even more
determined than might otherwise bave
been the case. Bloodhounds were
used in the pursuit, but to little avail.
One negro was arrested last night,
however, and the other two today.
Without being allowed to see or com
raunicate with one another they were
closely questioned and finally con-
fessed, the three telling the same
story. !
All three are known locally as "bad"
negroes. All had had trouble with Mr.
Cook. Peter Rivers had been convict
ed of Illegally selling whiskey and Mr..
Cook, as mayor, had fined him $1O0.
The two Dublin n negroes had been dis
charged from the employ of Mr.. Cook.
The negroes were held in the guard
house at Olar until the confessions
were obtained and then it was decided
to send them to the county Jail at
Bamberg. Two constables started
this afternoon about 8 o'clock on the
1G-mile journey with their prisoners.
Olar was in a state Of comparative
quiet prior to the departure of the off,
GERS with their prisoners and no vio-
lence was anticipated although the
necessity for a speedy trial had been
appreciated by a number of citizens
and such a request had been commu-
nicated to the solicitor.
Just what happened when seven
miles of the trip had been safely trav-
eled is more or less conjecture. It is
only positively known that at Odom's
bridge determined crowd, number
ing from rs to 100 men, dispatched the
three s'fire-bugs," using bullets as the
means OF execution.

sure and certain in their effect.
The doctors are considered by
many former patients among Ameri-

and wonderful have been their results
that in many cases it is hard indeed
to find the dividing line between skill
and miracle.
