OFFICERS MEET ROUGH GANG.
II. Q. Merrick Among Officials Who
Were Attacked by Men.

(News and Courier Special.)
Conway, Dec. 12.-R. f. Jenkins
and r. @. Merrick, special officers Of
the United States internal revenue
department, and w. ]. Johnson and
Rollin johnson have just returned
from beyond the Little River section
Of the county, near the North Caro-
lima line, where they made a raid on
an Illicit whiskey still yesterday and
arrested George Beck, Spencer Boze-
man, VIII Huet, Dave Faulk and Asa
Soles, who are said to have been in
the act Of measuring a number of
kegs of whiskey when they were sur
prised by the officers. When the Off
GERS arrested the parties number Of
friends Of the prisoners came to their
rescue and demanded of the officers
they release the men. 1t IS claimed
that upon their refusal to do so a
tusillade of shots were exchanged be-
tween the men and the officers. In
the melee one Of the prisoners was
wounded and two made their escape,
but were recaptured. One of the re-
captured men escaped again the next
day and is still at large.
Capt. Jenkins was hit in the breast
by one of the shots, but the bruise
Is Of a minor nature. Another Of the
prisoners made such resistance in
trying to extricate himself from the
officers that Capt. Jenkins had to
pound him heavily on the head. The
man Is considerably bruised, but not
seriously injured. Four Of the pris-
oners were placed in jail here and the
two wounded ones have been exam
ined and their wounds have been
pronounced not serious by a physi-
clan. Warrants have been issued
for all the parties, and it Is expected
that George Beck, who made good his
escape at the time, will be captured
In a day or two. The prisoners were
| taken before the United States Com
missioner here to-day and two OF
them, Faulk and Soles, were re.
leased on bond for their appearance
before the commissioner for the pre-.
liminary hearing. ~. ....

THE NEWS FROM CONEROss.
Miss Hunsinger Entertains a Number
Of Frlends-Otller Locals.

Coneross, Dec. 14.-Special The
ever charming home OF Mrs. S. NJ.
Hunsinger was made most inviting
last Friday evening when her daugh-
ter, Miss Bewley, entertained about
ten couples Of her friends at birth
day party. Miss Hunsinger, beauti.
fully gowned, in white satin, never
appeared more lovely. The parlor
in which she entertained was beau
tifully decorated with holly, which
made those present think of Christ
mas being just few days off.
After all Of the guests had arrived
and a short time had been spent in
conversation each person was handed
slip of paper with the name Of
some berry written on it. After the
tickets had all been matched and
the couples seated they were fur
nished with paper and pencil and en-
tered into a berry contest, which re-
quired considerable time and knowl-
edge. After the papers had been
examined it was found that several
couples had tied in the contest. Miss
Zadie Hesse and Paul Barnett not
only answered all the questions cor
rectly, but drew the long straw,
which won the prize, a box Of choco-
late candy, which was presented by
Miss Agnes Hunsinger.
A number of other contests and
games were played, after which part
ners were changed, and all were in
vited into the dining room, where a
delicious supper had been prepared,
consisting Of hot chocolate, sand
wiches, cakes, bananas, apples, etc.
The dining room was prettily deco
rated with holly, with sprays Of this
beautiful evergreen dropped among
the fruits, ETC., on the table, a small
sprig Of holly, with red berries, tied
with red ribbon, being placed in
each plate as a souvenir.
Miss Bewley received quite a num-
Der of nice presents, which were dis
played in the spacious hall on a table,
which was made very attractive.
The guests returned to their homes
with many pleasant memories of the
occasion and wishing their hostess
many happy returns Of her birthday

were made again by the allies, but
reports Of successes in to-day's Off
cial statement from Paris are not
borne out by the Berlin communica-
ton.
The French war office states Ger
man positions along the Aisne were
demolished, that in the Woevre dis
trict a line Of trenches 500 yards
progress was made in the Argonne
and in Alsace.
The German announcement says
nothing Of importance has occurred
in the West, with the exception of a
few French attacks along the Meuse
and in the Vosges, which were re-
pulsed easily.
English and French newspapers
say the time Is drawing near for the
much-discussed general advance of
the allies through France and Bel
GUM, and some unofficial reports say
that the move Is about to be under
taken If 1t has not actually begun.
Progress necessarily would be inch
by inch, and even the most optimis-
tic Of the British observers, assum-
ing that general forward move
ment of the allies is to be essayed,
concede it would be spring before
any appreciable eastern progress
could be made.

One of the most beautiful home
weddings Of the season was that of
Miss Nina Belle Carnes and Cullen
Mason, which occurred at Fair Play,
on December 6, at p. m. Rev. W.

the ceremony. The bride Is a daugh-
ter of Geo. w. Carnes, of Fair Play,
and the groom is a son of Wilton
Mason, of Oakway. Only a few of
the nearest relatives and friends
we're present, due to the inclemency
OF the weather, and the indisposed
health OF some members of the fam-
lily. The bride was beautifully gown
ed in a cream tailored suit.
The parlor and dining room were
fastefully decorated in evergreens
and ferns. A delightful salad course
was served the guests.
