Will Hardly Meet All Claims.
In view of the fact that the time for
the payment Of state and county taxes
without penalty has been extended un-
iii April 1, 1t is hardly likely that the
county will have enough funds to meet
all claims up to that time. Half the
$50. 900 borrowed from the Peoples
National Bank Of Rock Hill by the
county last veal will be due some time
this month, and after the payment OF
this amount the commissioners will
hardly have enough und at their

sented.
Has Not Given Him Up.
Although it appears that ]. r. Wyatt,
the only prisoner Of the four who re-
Gently escaped from the county Jail,
has made his getaway from this sec
ton, the county authorities have by
no means given up all hope Of recap
turing him. Speaking Of the matter
yesterday the sheriff recalled the es-
cape of Wallace Jackson, a negro, who
was captured after he had been at
large several months, and he said that
he was confident that Wyatt would De
again placed behind the bars OF the
York county Jail sooner or later.
No Clue to Robbers.
There has been no clue to the par
ties who broke into the four business
houses in Hickory Grove. last Thurs
day night, but the authorities have not
given up investigation Of the matter
by any means. While there is no way
of knowing exactly how much goods
were stolen, II Is not thought that the
robbers secured a very great amoun
The robbers appear to have had little
fear of detection, since Hickory Grove
does not maintain a night policeman
and the entire business section was
deserted shortly after dark.
Killed by Mexican Bullet.
Mr.. w. B. Warwick, who lives at
Pineville, in Mecklenburg county,, just
across the York county line, has re-
ceived word that his son, Mr.. William
D. Warwick, a member OF COMPANY u
Sixteenth infantry, L. s. A, was shot
through the heart and killed Fri
day evening, January 20, while ly-
ing in his bunk on the outskirts of FL
Paso, Texas. The bullet came with
out warning, evidently from across
the international boundary line, and 1t
Is believed was fired by a Mexican
shipper. Young Warwick raised up
after he had been struck and announc-
ed that he had been shot. He died in
about ten miutes. News of the TRACE
dy was received last week by the
young mans father from Capt. o. r.
Wolf, commander Of the company TO
which Warwick belonged. The body
will very likely be sent to Pineville
for interment.

He appears to be Indifferent as to the
outcome Of the charge against him
When carried back to Concord, he was
the object of much curiosity from a
large crowd, and as he looked over the
crowd laughingly remarked to the Of
fcers. Il didn't know l could draw
such a large congregation" He talked
freely and among other things said. y
