Girl Kidnapped
Lancaster Record.

Railton, a village in the south
ern port of this county, is great
ly excited over the kidnapping
of a little II year-old girl who
was adopted from the Kentucky
Orphans Home by Mrs. Nellie
Hunt. From the best informa~
ton it seems that some time
Monday two men, two women
and a small girl drove up to the
Railton school and took the child
in the car and left going toward
Glasgow. No one seems to have
ever seen the people before and
their names are unknown. One
of the men was dressed in so!-
dier's uniform and seemed to be;
crippled as he was carrying
crutches.
1t is claimed that one of the
women was the aunt of the kidy
mapped girl, while the other two
were sisters. Where they went
is a mystery. Efforts are being
made to locate the parties and
there is considerable excitement
over the matter. Glasgow Re-

Fortunately most editors are

they DO not expect perfection IL

give a fellow a fair show, and if

boost him along. IT not, they
generally permit MIN TO grace

to warrant condemnation and

1t is not the will of the editoE
alone that decides these things
1t is the fact that the editog
places his information before the

own judgment.
1t is in this way that the press

improvements on Laurel street and
the corner OF North Harper and East
Laurens. Laurel street has been
plowed up from end to end and the

Made Fire Inspection

w. S. Lowe, Deputy for the State In
surance Department was in the city
Thursday on his regular tour Of in
spection Of fire risks. He gave the town
a clean sheet on the accumulation OF
rubbish, but he said that he found
number of non-standard hues and bad
shingle roofs tina. might be consider
ed fire traps.
Mr.. Lowe made an Inspection OF the
new Laurens Mills village and said
that he found it had the best and SAT
est homes for operatives OF any mill
in the state. 1t was q practical impos-
sibility, he said, for one of these build
ings to be set on fire from the outside.
Fire insurance agents In many
towns, Mr.. Lowe said, should be more
careful to make inspections OF risks
before issuing policies. lie says the
practice Of issuing insurance without
previous inspection Is against the in
tcrest of the insurance paying pub
tic, as It opens the way for dishonest
people to secure excess valuation on
their property and then burn 1t down
at profit. The honest property own
er, he said, has to bear the burden OF
this loss through high insurance
rates.
Mr.. Lowe said he wished to thank

Soldiers to Como Through

Information in regard to the itin-

Of Camp Jackson who are to march
to their new posts has been rather
meagrc but 1t is generally understood
that a considerable part OF the Elev-
enth infantry is to pass through this
city on dts march to Fort Thomas, Ky.
The State yesterday said that this reg
iment would break camp Friday and
start to its destination. AS 1t Is ex-
pected to reach Grcenville about
Sept. 18th, it is thought that it will DO
passing through Iaurens about the
9Th or 10th. Capt. W. r. Richey, who
is at home on visit. estimates that
about 1900 men will be in the regi-
ment passing here and that 1t will be
marching in sections SO that 1t will
require several days to go through. SO
far as can be learned, no camp sites
have been selected as yet near this
city.
