son to say that steps would be taken
to procure a pardon from the Cover
nor. Judge Willis explained that the
negro had been convicted Of highway
robbery. He had taken a dime from
the white girl, although he gave 1t

FIGHT COLD AND WIND
GEORGETOWN BOYS MAROONED
on RIVER ISLAND.
Gasoline Launch Caught in Brisk
Wind and Driven AShore-Spend
Freezing Night on Island.

One night and the better part of
two days, Robert and Charles Wynn.
of Georgetown. fought the wind and
the cold on the lower Waccamaw,
and had they failed of winning it
would have meant death by freezing
or drowning. Sunday morning they
went up the river in small gasoline
launch. The going at first was mere
ly a little chilly, but the further up
they got the harder the wind blew
and the colder became the tempera-
ture. They went as high as the Thor
oughfare, where the Pee Dee joins
the Waccamaw.
At that point the wind was so
strong that the little craft could make
no headway against it. They then
threw over the anchor. 1t held for
only a few minutes, when, with the
engine working and the anchor over
board, the boat began to drift with
the wind. Nor did the drifting stop
until the craft was piled up on the
bank. And all the time it was get
ting colder.
There being no shelter on the boat,
the marooned young men went
ashore, gathered some dry wood and
started FIRE. In the sweep Of the
wind the fire ate up the wood as If it
were tinder. 4 pile Of fuel on the
blaze would last ten to fifteen min
utes. Bob" Wynn says he never
worked so hard in his life as he did
Sunday night to keep the fire going.
But it was that or freeze. The mer-
curry had dropped to.2S.
The night passed, as nights usually
do il one waits long enough, but
there was no lull in the wind and no
rising Of temperature. And the
Young men were without food. TO
cold was was therefore added hunger,
and both spelled misery. The cast
aways realized that something must
be done or the situation would soon
become unbearable. They, therefore,
struck out down the river bank walk
ing, walking hard to keep up the cir
culation of their blood. After some
hours they reached the fishing camp
of Mcdonald & company, some miles
from where their "shipwreck" had
occurred.

SOUTH FEELS EARTHQUAKE.
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina Affected.

Earth tremors. slight, but distinct

frightened.

Thief Duplicates Stunt That Took
Place Same Place in Same Way
About Two Years Ago.

About Two Years Ago.
An unknown white man, who was
described as being very nervous,
Thursday night at 10:45 o'clock en-
tered the mail car of Southern rail-
way train No. II, from Charleston,
half way between Columbia and Roy
ster, and secured several sacks of
registered mail. Railway mail Off

impossible to estimate the amounts
contained in the registered letters,
but that they were from Charleston.
None Of the letters and papers were
touched.
The mail car was in charge Of c..
E. Thomas, railway mail clerk. He
made report to the transfer clerk up
on the arrival OF the train at the
union station. Special agents Of the
Southern railway and members of the
Columbia police department were put
TO work on the case Immediately, but
no arrests have yet been made.
It is supposed that the bandit
boarded the train at Royster, small
station near Columbia. He walked
into the mail car, pistol in hand, at
the Whaley street crossing. He or
dered the mail clery to turn his back.
He kept the clerk under cover until
the bridge near the Union station was
reached. He jumped out Of the car
by one of. the side doors and escaped.
The train was due in Columbia at
1920 O'Clock. but was running about
80 minutes late.
The robber was described by Mr..
Thomas as being about five feet eight
inches, tall-and very nervous. THE
man is supposed to have boarded the
train at Royster. He wore mask.
He made the clerk turn his back to
the wall while he went through the
mail. The train was running about
six miles. an hour. He jumped OIL
lust before the train crossed the
bridge near the Union station SAID
one of the railway mail service Off
cials last night.
Two years ago a railway mail rob-
berry occurred at the same hour and
place and under almost the exact con-
ditions. The mail car from Charles
ton was looted by lone robber just
before midnight. He has never been
captured.

Totals ..... $696.5O $4,000
The matter Of reducing the street
car fare from Calumet To AlloueZ, all
within Calumet township, from 10
cents to cents, has been before the
board on several occasions, having
been brought up in the form of petit
tions n number of times. Recently the
township board directed n communi-
cation To the officials of the Traction
company asking them to be present az
the meeting yesterday so that the mat
ter might be discussed. A letter in
reply was received at yesterdays
meeting stating that General Manager
Rogers is now in the east on business
but that on his return the question
would be taken up with him and de-
finite answer submitted.
1t is claimed that the franchise
granted to the Traction company pro-
vdes that the company cannot charge
q fare i'm excess of five cents within
the township limits, which covers the
Calumet Allouez branch. If the de-
sired reduction is secured, working
men who ride from Mohawk To Calu-
met every day will be greatly benefit
ed for the fare will be reduced from
fifteen to ten cents each way.

ANNOYANCE AT CONCERT.
c. & n. Band Renders Fine Program
but Automobiles Spoil Effect.

The Calumet * Hecla band render
ed it's first open-air concert for the
season last evening from the mine Of
flee lawn, rendering a program of re-
markable variety and one which was
thoroughly enjoyed by a crowd of sew
en- or eight hundred. The program
included number of new selections
which brought forth applause.
For the big majority of those pres
ent last evening, the concert would
have had far greater enjoyment but
for the annoyance of the constantly
maneuvering automobiles and motor
cycles, of which there were perhaps
two score surrounding the mine Of
flee lawn. Although a number of the
autoists courteously shut down their
engines throughout the entire con-
cert. others less appreciative of the
splendid music. kept up a continuous
fusillade of engine noises which fire.
quently made il impossible to hear the
band Added TO this was another
boistcrous demonstration by the mo-
tor cyclists, who with open "cut offs"
continued to circle the square in
which the mine office lawn is situated
and provoked the wrath of the music
lovers. 1t is difficult to understand
the discourtesy shown by the owners
of these motor vehicles. The pauses
between the selections rendered by the
band were sufficiently long to permit
any reasonable maneuvering or the de-
parture of those who did not care to
stay longer without the continual i'm
terruption during the rendering of
the selections. Unless this annoyance
is removed, the fun enjoyment of flu
ture concerts will be impossible.
