Il think I know something about

HARD TO SECURE
ROCK BREAKERS
HORACE RAINEY PUT TO 1T TO
GET LABoRERS IN HIS
QUARRY.

Laborers in Columbia who really
want to work and make living have
that opportunity. Horace Rainey,
the owner of several turnpikes, wants
100 laberers to break rock. It Is true
that 1t Is not the highest class of
work or the softest snap possible but
1t Is honest labor and the pay will
support the worker. In spite of the
negroes who are apparently loafing
about town out Of job, Mr. Rainey
is hard put to get labor at his quar-
ry. A good many have responded to
his advertisement for work but few
of them stay on the job. 1t would not
be bad idea to get a sharp stick
after bunch of loafers and send
them out to Mr.. Rainey's quarry. If
they are living in idleness some one
is supporting them, may be involun-
tarily, but nevertheless this is true.

THIEVES ENTER THE
STORE Of WALTERS
BROS. At CENTURY
BLOOD HOUNDS HAVE BEEN
SENT FOR TO TRACK THE
CULPRITS.
AMOUNT OF AHAGE NOT KNOWN
First Attempt to Enter Store Was
Made Last Friday Night, and Strict
Watch Has Been Kept Since Then.
Second Attempt Tuesday Night.

Robbers broke into the store of
Walters Bros. at Century Mines some
time during Tuesday night and took
from the store a number of articles.
The store is closed today and all are
kept away until bloodhounds are
brought from Nashville to track the
culprit or culprits.
An attempt was made on the store
last Friday night. The bars to one of
the windows were bent, but nothing
was taken. A strict watch has been
kept since then, but no one was in
the store during Tuesday night when
the second attempt was made. The
theft was not discovered until this
morning, when Dayton Whitaker, the
clerk, went to open up and found
that the store had been entered and
the contents were scattered over the
floor.
No one is suspected, but 1t is
thought that some of the negroes in
the Century Mines are responsible
for the theft. The store is right close
to the mines, where the negroes
work.
Bloodhounds will be brought from
Nashville, and as soon as they ar
rive, they will be put upon the scent
officers are already at work upon the
case, and are keeping a watch upon
all of the hands to sec that none leave
the mines.
The amount of the damage that
was done by the thieves and the val
ue of the goods that they took is not
ascertainable, though it is probably
small

MODERN WOODMEN
BENEFIT SHOW
NUMBER OF SPLENDID ACTS TO
BE ON THE PROGRAM TUES.
DAY NIGHT.

The Modern Woodmen of America,
who will give show at the Grand
Opera House on Tuesday night, Feb.
Is, for the benefit of their charity
fund, have made arrangements with
Wolfe and Yeargin, of Nashville, the
we'll known black face comedians and
dancers, to put on their special act
for them in the show.
This act alone is worth more than
the price of admission, for it comes
with the endorsement of the Nash
vile Business Mems Club, the Elks,
the Eagles and other leading associa-
tions and business organizations Of
Nashville.
They will also have with them Joe
Zanone, who is reputed to have the
best lyric tenor voice in the South.
Mr.. Zanone is noted for his clear,
sweet notes. A musical turn, with
twelve instruments, will also appear
in the second part of the show.
The Woodmen will have a commit
tee out tomorrow canvassing the city
in the interest Of the show. The cause
is a most worthy one, as the lodge
has exhausted its charity fund, using
it all during the last bad spell Of
weather to help the poor of the city.
The price Of the tickets on the low
er floor of the opera house will be rs

Stokes Had Been Taking Orders
and Delivering Pants.

w. ]. Stokes, of the Stokes Tailor
ing Co., of 438 Broadway, New York
City, was arrested in the city this
morning by city patrolman 7. u.
Christley on the charge of selling and
delivering pants in the city without
q peddler's license. After consider
able argument with the city and coun
ty authorities, Mr.. Stokes paid the
city, county and state taxes, with the
fines and costs thereof under protest,
the total amount of which was 1856.
The arrest of Mr.. Stokes was the
opening gun of the war which the
merchants Of the city are going to
wage on all clothing and other kinds
of peddlers in this city and county,
He arrived here last week and can
vassed the business portion of the
city, taking several orders for tail
ored pants. This morning Mr..
Stokes came back to deliver to his
customers. He was arrested and at
once taken to the city court for trial.
While the case was being argued
before Judge Porter Erwin, Consta-
BILE Ed Green arrived with warrant,
charging Mr.. Stokes with failure to
pay the county and state peddlers' IL
cense. The case was postponed for
the time being, while Mr.. Stokes
went before County Court Clerk Arch
Lipscomb and County Attorney w. G.
Whitthorne, to plead his case.
Mr.. Stokes, before a crowd of the
city merchants and interested specta-
tors, made a vigorous protest against
paying the tax, presenting paper
from the treasurer of the state OF
North Carolina, stating that under
two decisions rendered by the SUI
preme court of the United States, he
was not liable for a merchants or
peddlers' license to engage in the
merchant tailoring business. Mr..
held, however, that I'M
der the specific instructions of the
state comptroller Mr.. Stokes was liza
BILE for taxation, since he not only
took orders, but also delivered the
finished product in person to his Gus
toners. After considerable argument
over the matter, and after being as
sured by Mr.. Lipscomb, the clerk,
that he could pay the tax and costs
under protest and then appeal his
case to the comptroller of the state,
Mr.. Stokes returned to the city hall
and paid the city tax and costs, which
to $3.50. He then went
back to the county court clerks Of
flee and paid the county and state
taxes and costs, which totalled 1915.
Mr.. Stokes was considerably flus-
trated in his appearance before the
city and county officials, vigorously
that he was gentleman,
that he was within his rights in sell
ing the goods, and that he was forty
FIVE years Of age. He was Of very
nice appearance, being nicely dress
ed. He stated that he had canvassed
several other counties in the state,
and that in none of them had he been
forced to pay any local tax or license.
His feelings were very much outrag
ed by the treatment that he had re-
ceived here.
