A Card.

wish to state to the citizens OF Clar'
endon county the facts about an indictr
ment against me which will appear in
the papers and will be misleading with.
out q full statement.
I rented a place from Mrs. Archer
for several years and never have failed
to pay her rent, nor no other person l
ever rented from. Last December a
year ago, the place was sold and I, un-
derstood MIR. j. J. Thigpen had bought
it, and rented it from him, giving
him q rent aaper due October 1913.
I found that the land was not sold to
him, or that deed was never made to
him for the land and I paid the rent to
Mrs. Archer, who think is the proper
owner of the place, hence have been
indicted for not paying my rent, when
it is paid.
The above is the true facts in the
case and I never have thought the
party who is claiming the rent was
entitled to it
Very respectfully,
J. W. FR1ERsoN.

Robbery at Sardinia.

When MIR. J. q. Garland, the agent
at this point, arrived at the depot early
Friday morning he found the door OF
the express Office broken down, and
the Inside gave the appearance OF hav:
ing been looted. With due presence OF
mind he kept on the outside and pre-.
vented others from walking about the
place. The situation was reported TO
Mr.. D. W. Alderman and he at once
wired for the State prison bloodhounds.
About three O'Clock in the afternoon
the dogs reached here in automobiles
and we're Immediately turned loose in
the odor. The trail was soon scented
and for four hours the dogs made a
lively chase over fields and through
brambles with quarter OF the popu-
lat,on of Sardinia following with equal
enthusiasm, and with speculative
minds as to who would prove the sly
fox. At about seven O'Clock the dogs
claimed Frazier Burgess and after
several trY-out tests, convinced the
keepers that he must be the thief IN
question.
= This negro is a tenant on lands of Mr..
Alderman not far from Sardinia aud
is locally famed as one who never taxes
a drink, but is invariably the custodian
of Jug OF whiskey, Several bolts OF
uncut cloth, a cigar box full OF pistol
cartridges and other articles OF store
goods were found in his house. Twelve
dollars in cash and a case OF whiskey
were missing from the express office,
and this with the above suspicious
articles caused those in the chase to
suspect that his Thursday nights out
ing wes prompted from desire to in
crease his capital stock.
This act of housebreaking and rob-
berry is very much out OF keeping with
| the good reputation enjoyed by the
colored people Of this section, and all
are alike ashamed of the deed. K.

Join The Corn Club.

The boys of Clarendon County again
have the opportunity of becoming mem
bers of the boys corn club. It should
not be necessary each year to enter
into lengthy explanations as to the
value of this feature OF educational
work, and trust that it will be sufi-
cient only to offer the CHARGE. All
we'll informed people have seen the
abundance OF information given
through the newspapers from time to
time, relative to this work. 1t has sue
ceeded in this county to a gratifying
extent, but it should prove more so.
and should have the hearty endorse
ment of all fathers. If your boy is to
become a farmer, then it is your duty
to help bim to become a better farmer.
You can do this by giving him an acre
of land to cultivate. and by aiding him
in various other ways.
1t cost the boy nothing to become a
member. His name is sent to Clemson
College and to the department. OF agri-
culture at Washington, and then he
will receive the various bulletins, and
other matter that will prove lnstruc-
tive and helpful not only to him, but to
you as well.
The boy is simply asked to keep a
record OF his crop as to the labor, fer
tilizerS, and other things pertaining to
the expense OF growing his crop, and
to ill out certain reports at the close
of the year.
Any boy can do this if he will but
keep an account OF his work as IL pro-
crosses, and not trust to memory.
This will help the boy to attach a val
ne to the keeping of accounts. Very
few people ever keep any records.
trusting everything to memory, and IN
a very few days al of it has been for
Fgotteu.
Besides the local county prizes, the
boy will stand the chance of a state or
national prize, the latter of which is
free trip to Washington with all ex-
penses paid. No boy should be de-
tered from entering because he might
feel that he stood no chance for large
prize.
The boy should be made TO feel that
prizes are not all the things worth try
ing for. Getting better results from
YOUR laOOr SllOulO StIIuuldIS CdSh oaO
every one. The boy gets all he makes
on his acre, whether he gets prize or
not.
Some parents have not treated their
boys right in the past. They permit
ted an acre to be planted in the boys
name, and the boy had little, or moth
| ing to do with the crop, and nothing IN
the proceeds of the acre.
Don't trust your boy like that. Let
him share in the profits OF his acre,
and to spend some of the proceeds upon
himself. ..
This plan will develop manly quail
ties in him. and will be valuable as:
set to both OF you. l wish time and
space could be b ad to say more along
this line, but word to the wise should
be sufficient.
Get your boy to join the club, by hav'
inc him to send me his name and ad'
dress, and if further information is de-
sired, write me.
Respectfully,
E. J. BROWNE,
County Supt. OF Education.

Saveit.
The depot at Sardinia, on the Alcolu
railroad was broken into last Thursday
night and freight amounting to about
three hundred dollars together with
twelve dollars in money was stolen.
fAfr. D. ". Alderman when informed
of the occurrence. Immediately tele-
phoned to the penitentiary at Colum-
bia for Mr., J.. c. Robbins with his fam
Gus blood hounds. MIR. Robbins ar
rived Friday morning, went to the
Lscene, his dogs took the trail immedi-
ately, and after keeping it for about
1--WE miles they halted at the home oc-
cupied by Frasier Burgess. negro.
Burgess was taken into custody, to
make sure, he was mixed up with a
number of other negroes, but the dogs
insisted upon him being the guilty
man, the search, was continued and In
Burgess house was found q part OF the
|stoien goods. He was brought to Man
ming and lodged in jail, and will, in all
probability, soon be on the gang. MIR.
Robbins with his dogs returned to Co
lumbia Saturday morning.
Died at the home OF his son Mr.. Law
son Mcleod, last Friday morning, near
Manning, Mr.. Jacob W. Mcleod aged
81 years. The funeral took place in
the Manning cemetery Saturday morn
ing in the presence of large coucourse
of friends. Rev. G. P. Watson his
pastor, and Rev. W. B. Wharton, sup
erintendent OF the Epworth Orphanage
OF Columbia conducted the service.
The pail bearers were Joseph Sprott,
Fred Lesesne, J. T. Stukes, T. F. Coz
fey and A. I. Barron. Mr.. Mcleod
had been in failing health for number
OF years which forced him to retire
from active business. He was prom
inent member and officer of the Man
ming Methodist church and liberal IN
his support oi the church and It's Instl-
tutions. He took special interest 10
the Epworth orphanage, one OF its
principal buildings was erected by him
and named in his honor, and he also
gave to that institution tract of land
in this county containing over 500
acres valued ct about $4,000. He gave
much to the ministry and other causes.
Mr.. Mcleod began his business career
shortly after the war between the
states with, like others, nothing to
start on, but by exercising good judge
mert and thrift, be accumulated con-
siderable property. He was success
iul farmer and merchant. AS a farmer
he won the reputation of being one of
the most intensive in this section of
the State, his farm near town was the
admiration OF many who came from
distances to see it. He built up
large mercantile business and con-
tinued in this until his health gave
away when he retired to his farm. He
is survived by two children, Mr.. J.
Lawson Mcleod and Mrs. George W.
Wilcox.

The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1914-10-13

There were stars from all of the
baseball organizations in the big lob
by of the hotel, and men who made
contracts and men who signed them
mingled as if there had never been any
differences in contract provisions to
create bad blood. In one corner, shak-
ing hands with everybody and hobnob-
bing with old friends, was Governor
Tener. the president of the National
League. Nobody called him "Presi-
dent, but everybody called him Gov
ernor. = Near him were Ban Johnson,
Garry Herman and James Gaffney and
nearer were Secretary Heyder, who
keeps the Nationals straight, and the
mysterious Reeves, who carries the
secret documents from New York head
quarters to Governor Tener and was
never known to "leak.' In the throng
were such old-time players as AL.
Reach, of the original Athletics, of
half century ago; '"Orator jim
o O'Rourke, of the famous New York
champions thirty years ago; Old Cap
Anson and al. Spaulding, who went
around the world with Tener, and many
