SPARTANBURG POLICE FIRED.
Mayor to be Asked to Resign as Re-
suit of Riot at Grace Meeting.

Spartanburg Aug. 5.-Following
theriot in the theatre Saturday night,
when Mayor Jno. P. Grace, of Char
lesion, attempted to speak and a por-
tion of the crowd yelled him down,
and when the police force failed to
preserve any semblance Of order, the
city council held a meeting tonight,
at which the matter was threshed
out.
At this meeting Chief of Police J.
E. Vernon and Lieuts. Cudd and
Johnson were discharged. Johnson is
a relative of the mayor. The meet
ing was attended by five aldermen,
one remaining away. Mayor o. L.
Johnson was not present. The men
were discharged because they failed
to obey the orders of Mayor Pro Tenn
Leonard, who presided at the meet
ing, and who attempted to keep down
the noise Saturday night.
, Elected in the place of the officers
retired were Chief Moss P. Hayes,
formerly captain; Capt. R. c. Hall,
who was chief in former admins
tration. Priyates S. J. Alverson and
Alex Fleming we're promoted to be
lieutenants. Four additional pri-
Yates will be chosen at the next meet
ing of council.
The petitions which are in circula-
tion in the city, calling upon O. L.
Johnson to resign as mayor, are be-
ing signed by many of the leading
citizens. There is no way to force
his resignation. 1t was alleged in
an inquiry to-day that Mayor John
son issued orders to his policemen to
arrest no one in the building, unless
the person was using profanity or
became very disorderly. His men, it
is said, we're to arrest no one for
yelling and hence the breaking up OF
the meeting.
The following afhdaVlt was secured
this afternoon:
"State of South Carolina-County of
Spartanburg.
Personally appeared before me r.
w. Knox and made oath that he
heard Mayor o. L. johnson say he
was not going to appoint any extra
policemen, and he did not care how
much Mr.. Grace was howled down,
and if any were arrested he would
turn Them loose.
This conversation took place in
Rawlings barber shop, on North
Church street, about p. m, on Au-
gust 8.

OUTLAWS WE'RE NOT THERE.
Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards
Reported Near Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 4.-1nforma-
ton that Sidna Allen and Wesley
Edwards, the Virginia outlaws, were
believed to to be hiding in the vicin-
ity of Seattle, caused the federal
and county authorities to conduct a
thorough search of the surrounding
country for the men, but neither was
found. Allen is said to have been
seen in Ballard, a Seattle suburb,
two weeks ago, but since that time
no trace of him or of Edwards has
been found. The local authorities
kept the fact of their search secret
and it has just become known.

SERIOUS CRIME CHARGED.
Darky Accused of Attempted Assault
Captured After Hot Race.

Lexington, Aug. 5.-Charged with
the serious crime of attempting an,
assault upon the wife of a well-known
white citizen residing about four
miles from Lexington, Olin Watson,
negro, was lodged in the Lexing-
ton county Jail late Saturday evening
by Sheriff Sim ]. Miller. The crime
is alleged to have been attempted on
Saturday, when the negro appeared
at the house of the woman and ask
ed for something to eat. Later he
returned and asked if the husband
of the woman was at home, and upon
being advised that he was not, the
negro is said to have made advances,
whereupon the woman picked up her
infant and hurriedly left the house,
going to a mill near by, where she
broke the news of what had happen
ed.
1t is said that the negro evidently
feared the result, and left the COM
munity, coming to the court house.
In the meantime the sheriff had been
notified of what had occurred, and
the officer at once went to work on
the case. After securing a descrip-
ton of the negro, Sheriff Miller kept
ing that he was in the. town of Lex
ington at the time. Late in the even
ing he discovered a negro passing the
iail going toward the depot, and the
officer followed. The negro reallz-
ing that he was about to be captured,
made hasty run for the depot, Sher-
iff Miller in pursuit. For several
hundred yards the negro and the OIL
Ger had a warm foot race, and when
Watson found out that the sheriff
was rapidly outstretching him, he
lodged behind large tree on the
side of the road. Sheriff Miller ran
on by the negro for few steps, when
he suddenly came to halt and nab
bed the negro by force.
So far there has not been any ex-
citement and no fears of summary
vengeance is anticipated.
Watson is said to be from Saluda
county, but has been driving lum-
ber wagon for the past several weeks
for a prominent saw mill man near
Lexington.

Country Town Field-Days.

An interesting experiment has
been under way for some time in
Armenia, a small town in Dutchess
county, N. Y, intended to promote
recreation and sociability. 1t is des-
ignated as the Armenia field day, and
began last year with large attend
ance which this year was very much
greater. It's conscious purpose is to
add enjoyment to country life by
means of cooperative games and
amusements, to some extent taking
place Of the old country fair, which
had become commercialized, and Civ
en- over to vulgar side shows. On
the program was printed the follow
ing:
1. You have got to make the
country as attractive socially as the
city if you want to keep the young
folks on the farms.
2. There is good deal OF work
in the country, but most of our boys
and girls have forgotten how to play.
,, 3. Baseball is a splendid game,
but it isn't the only one. Every
healthy boy should be interested in
at least half dozen others. Don't
merely watch others play games;
play them yourself!
4. You can't drink strong drink
and be an athlete. Get your boys
interested in honest healthy sports,
and save them from drink and dis
sipation.
5. Contests and competitions are
not the main things. "The strong
| compete and grow stronger; the
weak look on and grow weaker y
The main thing is play. Learn the
great lesson that play is just as nee
essary for your son as work.
| 6. The community should help to
run it's own recreations. Its festivals
should be not only for the people,
but of and by the people.
There is a whole lot of good sense
in those six statements, and the
sooner the country towns everywhere
find it out, and act on it the better
it will be for them. Others in the
neighborhood of Armenia have already
learned the lesson, and begun to
start field days. 1t would be g good
plan to have one once a month right
through the year, varying recreations
somewhat according to the season.
Our people work too hard, don't
have play enough, and don't have
fun enough when they do play. 1t
is not necessary to exactly copy
Armenia, but their plan for day
seems a good one. They had pa
rade in the morning, with prizes for
the best decorated farm wagon, car
riage and automobile; then there was
a picnic luncheon, and afterward
dancing, athletic games and varied
entertainment in a large tent, finish
ing with a baseball game and fire
works. If country young people
were to have something of that sort
every once in a while, they would
not be so anxious to go off to the
cities.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

In a very few years our develop
ment should be such that the interest
on a million dollars for a dozen years
might be more easily paid than the
damage that could incur from break
in the levees. The writer while sleep
ing ON the levee a few weeks ago
had dream which he describes as
follows:
1t was hot sultry might in june,
1914, and the turbulent Colorado riv-
er was mine feet higher than it was
during the June rise of 1912. I had
come down the river i'm a boat and,
being out of tobacco, and expecting
to find fifty or more men patrOlmg

watched him with interest as he
quickly sped back and forth, stopping
at each end of the levee just long
enough to ring up on an automatic
register the time of arrival.
Suddenly the levee broke. The boy
discovered it two minutes later, and
before eight seconds more had elapG-
ed a rocket shot skyward and filled
the heavens with sparks of variegat-
ed hues. The last spark had not star,
ed on its descent before 1 heard
locomotive whistle from the direction
OF the mesa and it was exactly one
minute and ten seconds later when
a bald4headed, corpulent, old gentle
man passed me in locomotive push
ing forty-two ore cars filled with rock
and dirt.
The cars were lightning self
bumpers, model of 1914; and no bron-
chic COW ever kicked over a milk pail
more speedily than the boy unloaded
those cars In fact the fat engineer
did not stop the train.
1t required the contents of thirty-
