jacob B. Jeter
Behind the Bars.

Jacob B. Jeter, a white man, was
lodged in the Lexinton Jail on Sunday
by Sheriff Sim J, Miller, with the
charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill resting against him. On
the S4th of February, this year, i is
alleged that Jeter attempted to shoot
Chief of Police, P. L. Redmond, OF
Swansea, w, L. z. johnson and 81. K.
Hooker when they went to arrest him,
using repeating rife. Two shots
were fred, both going wild of their
mark, and it is said that had the rifle
had more than two balls in it the chief
would undoubtedly have been killed.
In an effort to protect themselves
from serious bodily harm, Jeter was
shot in the legs. His wounds were 80
serious that it was necessary to send
b m to Knowlton's hospital in Colum-
bia for treatment. A few days ago Je-
ter asked permission to take a little
exercise on tie streets, and upon being
refused, slipped away on Thursday,
went to the dspot and boarded train
for salley. At salley he hired a horse
and buggy and drove to the home of
his brother-in law about six miles from
Neeses, in Orapgeburg county.
Sheriff Miller, who had in his pos
session warrant for Jeter.was notified
on Friday and in less than two days he
had his man spotted. On Saturday
night Mr.. Miller went to Swansea and
on Sunday morning secured an auto
mobile and went to within half mile
of the house where Jeter was stopping.
Here he took to the woods afoot and
eased his way to the house. lit is said
that the brave officer was upon Jeter
and had effected his arrest before he
knew what happened. He was brought
to Lexington and lodged in jail to
await trial at the June term of Ceart.
Jeter it is understood, was planning
to make his escape to Savannah.
Jeter was one of the first men to re-
ceiye a pardon from Governor Blease,
he having been in the penitentiary
serving life santence for killing a
a man on the streets of Union several
years ago. \

HOW WEAK WOMEN
May Be Made Strong at Small
Exnense and No Risk


Expense and No Risk
There are hundreds of women in
this vicinity, weak, thin, rundown,
tired out and nervous. Such women
need Vinol just as much as did Mrs.
Jane Pepper, of 1907 Howard street,
San Francisco, CAL, who says:
81 have used Vinol for some time
with particularly gratifying results. L
was run down, weak and debilitated,
and my appetite was gone. After TAX
ing several bottles Of Vinol found
my condition greatly improved, and
do not hesitate to recommend V1nol
to anyone similarly affected"
vinol is not a secret nostrum, but
delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil, which will create an ap-
petite, tone up the digestive organs,
make pure blood and create strength.
Try q bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

URGED TO ATTEND
An Open Letter to the Ru-
raj Carriers of LeXing-
ton County.

In response to the call of the Presi-
dent Of the County R. L. @. Associa-
tion let Us every one put eside all op-
posing pleasures and duties On May 80
and devote this one day to the work
of our association. We have proud
record behind us and a granGer future
before us. Congress is at last break
ing down every barrier to our fullest
development and we will be able to do
better for ourselves and the service in
the future than we have ever been
able to do in the past.
Let every member appoint himself
committee OF one to see or correspond
with as many as possible of the carriers
who are yet out Of the fold and do his
utmost to get time to come in. The
represent ltive Of the P. o. Depart
ment at Florence last year said in
open convention that the most trou-
BILE he had vii b carriers was with
those who did not belong to the Asso-
citation. This means of course that
those carriers Who are wide awake to
the best interests of the service and to
the betterment of their condition are
members of the Association and the
sothersssre Indifferent or satisfied to be
dragged along behind and to profit by
Hhe iators of their fellow carriers.
Brother carriers if you belong to the
latter class it is high time you were
getting out of that bunch and awaken
ing to senseof your duty and your
! opportunity.
No carrier can refute the argument
that the association has bettered his
condition financially and otherwise
: therefore he is in honor bound to fall
in line and help Us by putting his
shoulderto the wheel.
Lexington County has the material
70 make one Of the banner counties of
iIasss State. Let us show the State Con-
rention what we can do. am going

No longer are we dependent on de-
ductive evidence as to the experience
of Coptic TRANSACTIONS OF the Bible,
for the British Museum has now &C.
cured some Coptic manuscripts which
prove the existence of native version
both Of the Old and New Testament
Scriptures in the middle Of the third
century at least. says the Bombay
Guardian. In the early part or las,
year there were discovered int pc:
Egypt a number OF Coptic manu-
scripts manifestly of very early date.
IL WIS due to the monks and an
chorites OF the Nile valley that these
early versions of the HOLY Scriptures
are preserved ttr us The monks, the
greater part Of whom were native
workmen acquainted with Greek,
worked at their trades and during
their labors they recited the psalms
and portions Of other books IT the
ola and New Testament which they
had committed to memory. One monk
is credited with kaowing the whole
of the Old and New Testament by
heart. Attached t. each O. immunity
VAS at least ono scribe who pre-
Pared copies Of the holy books wrote
the service books and kept the abbot's
accounts and wrote his correspon-
dence, The copies that tho museum,
secured were made by these scribes.
The. trend OF the evidence Is to show
We have a revision Of the Scriptures
earlier than any previously known
being in the third century, whereas
the previous oldest, the Codex
Faticanus and the Codex sinaiticus,
belong tn the fourth. This ,s. in
deed. priceless acquisition.
