Barrel of Booze Sent to Kid.

Sartanburg, April 3.-Guy Haynes,
messenger boy of the Western
Union Telegraph company, was mott
fed yesterday by John Scruggs, agent
of the Charleston & Western Carroll
ma railway, that there was drum
of whiskey for him at the freight sta
ton which he could obtain by calling
for it. AS Guy is lad in short trous-
ers who had no use for even a finger
of whiskey, much less 25 gallons
(the capacity of drum) he has not
yet called for the liquor.
1t is supposed that the whiskey
was ordered by somebody else, who
had reasons for keeping his identity
a secret, in Guys name. 1t is said to
be the practice of some of the blind
tigers to order whiskey in the name
of others and then, when the whis-
KEY has arrived. to forge the names
of the persons whose names they
have used to orders directing that
the whiskey be delivered to the bear
er.
Guys whiskey was shipped from
Richmond, Va, and the charges were
prepaid. Twenty-Five gallons is con-
sidered by the police suspiciously
large quantity for personal use.

ment being for negro-stealing, as the
proofs of his vastly more heinous
crimes were, as Stewart had anticl-

was convicted and condemned to ten

To Build Fl ,h Hatchery

Orangeburg, April 5.-Work on the
government fish hatchery at this city
will probably begin in the near fu-
ture. The government is now making
PREPARATIONS for the erection of the
superintendent home, and it is
thought that the establishment OF
the fish hatchery will follow quickly
The original appropriation was for
$4,000, of which amount $4,000 has
been expended in the purchase Of the
site. The location contains 80 acres,
of which about 80 acres is covered
with water.

public opinion.
"lf we wait and take chances on
the future, suspicion of me, may kin
die at any time, and it will be such
hair-trigger work, with Murrell free
to do his will, and with so many ac-
completes that my life wouldn't be
worth thistledown. But if we arrest
him, his absence will leave the gang
temporarily paralyzed, for no one of
them will be sure of his own safety
in the first crash of the shock. He's
the brain, heart and soul of every
thing. Let US fasten him by the
throat, and then trust to the future
to build up further proof
So it was determined that John

well-arranged plans and purposes.
Your schemes, under the guidance of
our experienced leader, appear to me
TO be practical and praise-worthy.
My opinion of the faith and princi-
pies of this lordly band may be ex-
pressed in a few words; and as I
have been honored by the instruc-
tons and confidence of our leader, to
be whose creature only is my high
est aspirations, fatter myself of its
correctness.
This and the inflated harangue
that followed gained the confidence of
the gang. The robber chieftain
wrung Stewart's hand and glowed
with delight at the fulsome praise.
The young man was initiated, sworn
in under blood-curdling penalties,
taught all the grips and signals of
recognition, and the night was worn
out in mad debauch.
The next day the grand council dis
solved, it's members departed and
Murrell, who stayed to superintend
the loading of the black cattle in a
fatboat for the slave-market, was fin
ally left alone with his lieutenants.
There's $4,000 in that batch, y
ne exulted, "and we will have an
other cargo next MONTH
The bandit chief, in his unbounded
confidence, then insisted that Stewart

councillors, their assignments in a con

devastation unparalleled in Ameri-

There were also $50 "strikers'
ruffians Of the common sort, whose
business it was to execute orders, or
practice any kind of outrage that
came readily to their hands at every
day hazard. Stewart was informed,
too, that the signatures of either class
fell far short of including all the
affiliated bretheren, and among them
was his acquaintance, Judge Clanton.
alleged to be an adept in all the Sc
crets of the clan.
Stewart narrated his amazing story
to Mr.. Henning, and the old preacher
was stricken dumb, suspicious though
he had been in vague way, by such
a disclosure as seemed almost in
credible. What would the discovery
do to bring this titanic criminal, lit
orally an enemy to all society, to JUS
tice? Reading between the lines OF
Stewart's written narrative we can
fancy such answer as this:
King of Bandits Gal. No 4. -.
"Murrell must be arrested at once,
though l am the only witness on
whose testimony an Indictment could
be found. Murdered men tell no tales
and negro statements have no legal
value. There will be scores to give
perjured evidence to rebut my charg-
es. I know quite we'll that the story
of the slave-insurrection conspira-
cy and it's extented network will be
considered so monstrous as to be food
for ridicule, and the conspirators
will take advantage of that. Yet we

yard, it must be said that no
considerable number were max
ing the trip for the first time.
One prominent resident, a man
of nature years, confessed that
although he Rad been born and
reared in Rockville within six
miles of the valley, he had never
journeyed through it. Merry of
these native SOUS of southern
Utah were visiting that day for
the first time one of the won
ders of the word. The men
from Rockville must not be CEN
sured. /. il Only another exam
pie of the blight of bad roads.
The fourteen miles ride up Little
Zion valley was accomplished
over the most treacherous road
in southern Utah. AS the COVER
nor pointed out to the people of
that district, the national govern
ment is the logical agency for
building a tourist highway
through the valley. In short,
in the valley as elsewhere, the
essence of the whole matter ia
good roads.
The battle cry for good high
ways 10 being heard throughout
the length and breadth of this
country. It is not political; it is
economical. Good Roads day"
in Missouri was followed bv a
goodroads dav in many other
commemorative. California is
teaching the rest of the country
the value of real highways.
Los Angeles country has spent
SO, 600, 600 for roads. Medford,
Ore. is raising 81, 100000 to
build a highway to Crater Lake
national park. Good roads have
gone a long way to making
Yellowstone the greatest of the
national parks. Two million
dollars has been spent by the
government. 1t is estimated
that So. 165. 600 more must be
spent to bring the present yell
lowstone road system to the
highest standard for the use of
horse-drawn and motor-propelled
vehicles. Surely Utah will take
its place in the development of
national highways. An improved
highway to the Yellowstone on
the north and good roads from
Utah points to Little Zion valley
and the Grand canyon on the
south will be great factors in
Salt Lake City's advancement
toward commercial and tourist
supremacy. Many men of Utah
know this better than the
writer. When all our people
know it. Salt Lake City shall
speedily be recognized as the
hub of Americas scenic won
