TOWNSVILLE NEWS LETTER.

We have had two light showers of
rain at Jonesville lately, but the
ground soon dries out and the show
ers do little good. A general rain
is what we need. The last Friday
and Saturday was the hottest wealth
er we have had here in several years.
Since the dispensaries were opened
in Union, we have had an abundance
of carpet baggers. I believe they
are more numerous than they were
at the time of reconstruction. They
are going and coming continually and
they are not Northern adventures
but are mostly "Son's Of Ham,"
Rev. W. H. Ariail is holding his
Summer meeting at New Hope this
week.
Something over twenty bales of
cotton were put on the market here
last week; it came from the coun.
try around Jonesville. Twelve and
one half cents paid FOR the best.
Quite a lot Of cotton was damaged
thereby causing much loss to the
owners and then loss of "a cent in
the price as it would have brought
13 cents last winter and spring. Sc
much for holding cotton.

Charleston,July 21.-After having
repeatedly denied he committed the
offense, while being grilled by Chief
of Police Cantwell Saturday night,
following his arrest, j. P. Gist a
young white man of Gourdin's yes-
terday broke down when confronted
by those he robbed and admitted the
truth of the charges against him. AS
a result of the robbery, which involv-
ed three different people, two of the
thefts may not cause him trouble, as
it is thought that the case which the
United States authorities have
against him of robbing the Postoffice,
will send him to the Federal peniten-
tiary.
United States Commissioner War
ing yesterday swore out an affidavit
charging Gist with larcency of bag
of money from Postmaster A. L..
Chandler, of the Gourdin's office. The
money lost by the country postmas-
ter is said to be about $25.
The story of the robbery and Gist's
arrest later in Charleston is interest
ing. The facts of the robbery, which
shows nerve on the art of Gist. was
unknown to the police until yester-
day, when Messrs. o. w. Mcknight,
ticket agent; A. l.. Chendler, post
master, and G. c. Parson, a clerk of
the Gourdin Mercantile company ap-
peared at the police station, and in
the presence of Gist told of the way
in which the man had abused the con-
fidence placed in him.
Yesterday afternoon the three
young men appeared at the police
station and told their tale to Chief
Cantwell, who afterward had Gist
bH,ught into his office where he was
then confronted by the three men
that had entrusted him about their
places. Gist did not hesitate the DO
lice say, but made a clean confession.

postoffice shortly before the train
arrived. His actions about the tick

and the report that G. C. Parson, of

reached that Gist must have robbed
them.
