Chester Reporter, Aug. 16: Mr.. j.
L. Mize Of Richburg, through his at
/ torneys, Messrs. CASTOR & Hamilton,
has filed a voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy with Mr.. J. B. Knight Of
Greenville, clerk Of court for the
western judicial district. Mr.. Mize
has been one Of the countys most sue
cessful young merchants, but the
period Of unusual severity through
passing and which has crippled so
many in the business world, has rem
dered this step advisable. AT a
meeting of the Jail committee Of the
county board Saturday, a proposition
from Sheriff D. L. Colvin for the pur-

When Mr. Hardin Burriss, well
known young man, stepped Off the Co.
lumbia train at the Southern depot
Thursday evening, he was surprised
when taken into. custody by the police;
but an examination Of his grip
brought forth twenty-four pints Of
whisky, and showed that the police
knew what they were doing. Mr.. Bur-
riss promptly put up bond Of 500
to insure his appearance at mayors
court the following morning to answer
to a charge Of transporting, but was
absent the next morning when the case
was called. Mr.. Burriss is an indus
trious young man Of steady habits. and
friends were surprised and panied to
hear Of his predicament, and argued
that the whisky was not Mr.. Burriss',
but was the property Of some one else
who had asked him to bring the stuff
to Chester. The law, however, takes
no circumstances like this into consid-
Grafton, and whether really innocent or
guilty, the man caught with the goods
on him must be the goat.
