Oopies of the complaint .tiled hy At torney (icncnri I'eeples and Wade H. Cobb, Nollclto?v on if ?>f the State have been served on each of the bonds men of the late Slu'iiff W, W. Huck ahee, of this county. The amount of the shortage as published in these col Utuiis some weeks ago amounts Jo the sum of $9,300.50. The boudsmen who are lteiuK sued are K. H. How en, ,1. T. Hough, .1. F. Elliott, W. J. Dunn, K. S. ViilepiKue, M. 1>, Kelly, J. J* Hinsou, and Kcbec ca Huckahee. These bondsmen have employed attorney C, L. I Mease, of Columbia, and attorney M. M. John son, of the Camden bar to represent them. The case will very likely be heard at the November V$rm of court for this county, and no doubt great Interest wljl be taken in the trial. There are a great number of men all over the county who believe that the dead sheriff was honest but care less and they do not l>cUeve that he squandered so large an amount of mon ey lii such a short period of time. We ledm that every effort will t?e made by the attorneys connectel with the ease to, have not only the books of the dead sheriff examined, but will also make a searching investigation into other affairs in an effort to place the blame of the shortage. The complaint tiled byx the attorney general and the solicitor the cir cuit set out: "That the ?alf| W. W. Huckahee, while serving as sheriff of f Kershaw county, departed this life on the 18th day 0* April, 1917, and thereafter, to wit, on the 15th day of May. 1017, the comptroller general of South Car olina had an audit made of the rec ords and lK>oks of said sheriff's of fice as to the collection of delinquent taxes, for which executions had been issued by the treasurer of Kershaw county and turnel over to wild sheriff for the years 1914 and 1915, which said audit showed that the said W.

W. Huckahee. sheriff, as aforesaid, care lessly. wrongfully and unlawfully failed to turn over to the treasurer of Kershaw county, and misappropriated and. misused the sum of $9,300.50. which sum. of money was collected by him from himself when he succeeded himself as sheriff of Kershaw county, and which he had collected on tax executions placed in his hands for col lection by the treasurer of Kershaw county in accordance with law, and that said sum of $0,300.50 now due and owing to the county of Kershaw and state of South Carolina by said deceased sheriff and the above men tioned defendants, as securities on his bond." - _ SOUTHERN BRIDGE DESTROYED Temporary Structure at Catawba Junetipn Washed Away. Rock Hill, Sept. 8.?Nine of the temporary trestle hcross the Ca tawba river at Catawba Junction were washed away early Sunday morning, by the raging torrent, and the South ern train* on the Kingsvi lie-Marion division are unable tg crbss the stream. It is hoped to have the dam age repaired by Thursday. The Southern's trestle was washed away last year in the big freshet and a tempofrgry trestle eonsiructed, land ing the erection of the concrete and steel trestle across the stream. The piers have been about completed and preparations were l>elng made to put in the steel framework. One or more steel sections will be put in to fill the gap made in the trestle Sunday. The river at this point reached a stage of 14.2 feet, or about three feet a hove the flood stage. A great quan tity nf driftwood pwummated andtttt* caused the temporary framework to give way. Thp Southern Railway had a force of men at the bridge removing the debris when the trestle pave way. The boat used last summer had been placed above the trestle and the force of workmen were at once diverted to the task of removing the wreckage [ and preparing for th? buHding of a J rticw Up across the stream.' Dispatch er ^Murchison*1 stated this morning that rhe indications'were the Trestle could be put in passable * condition l?efore | n transfer could be established, as there is no landing place available above the trestle. Meantime no connections lire being made between Catawba and Riverside, on the Lancitato* side of the river. Passengers, mall and express are be ing routed by wily of Columbia. Every effort Is being put forth by the com pany to have the breach repaired as speedily as possible. GKILMANS CAPTURE KMJA KiihhImhs Dewrtrd 'Jfrwu Without Shot Being 'fTh^yl. Klga. Russia's big port an the Gulf of Klga. 1h In the hands of the Ger mans and its carrlson and the civilian population are In retreat eastward. Following tip rapidly the advantage they gained in driving the Russians across the I)viua river on both aides of Uskull last Saturday, the Germans threw bridges across tlds stream awl soon were on the heels .of the formes defenders, some of whom offered re sistance, hut others of whom showed thft white feather, giving the lnytM)??" mo trouble In marching up the eastern hank of the Dvina tbward Riga, tlifteen miles distant. Seeing the disaffection and the inability to stem the tide of the advance, the Russian commander ordered an evacuation. With the falling back of the Rus sians from the city proper and the advance of the Germans northward along both sides of the stream, the itusslans still defending the western imnk around Dahlen, seemingly are In danger of l>eing caught lx?tween the two fast-moving Jwdles of the enemy and made prisoner. Itch I ml them the Hussions in their retreat from Riga are laying the cotok, try in waste, burning villages and farms. Whether the city itself re mains intact has not yet been made known, but doubtless the guns in the fortress and the ammunition stores either were removed or destroyed to prevent them falling into the hands of the Germans. Aside from the strategic value of controlling the Gulf of Rtga, and of a base nearer the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, at the head of which Pe trograd Is situated, for the moment It is impossible to see the importance of the German gain, especially with the near Approach of winter, when military operations in this northern region are almost Impossible. On none of the other fronts liav? there been operations of great (moment, except the Austro , Italian theater, where the Italians have made further progress oh the Bainsizza plateau and in the Brestovtea valley and at various points along the line have repulsed fresh counter-attacks launched by Aus trian.^. Throughout thlir entire theater violent artillery duels- are in .progress frow Ixdmlno to the sea. Advices to the Italian embassy in Washington are to the effect that in the present offensive the Austrian* j have lost more than 128,000 men. Re- j ports, from Udine, Italy, give the Aus- i trirtn losses as one-third of the first ! line army. The batteries of field Marshal Ilaig are still pouring an incessant fire aga'nst tne German trencher in Flan ders. but as yet the anticipated new dash by his men to capture them has j not started. Doubtless the knocking; down <>t the defenses lias not reached ! the limits which the British command er always requires before he throws his Infantrymen into the fray. On the remainder of the front in the west, held by the British, there have been the usual trench'-raiding opera tions, in one of which south of Mon aehy-Le-Preux German dugouts jyid machine guns were d^troyed and some prisoners taken. Artillery duels, which are somewhat violent in the Verdun region, ure tak ing place along the front where the French arc facing the Germans. No infantry a of ions of importance have occurred. ^ BRINGS GOOD REVENUE Over Ten Thousand Dollars Collected as Toll From Cars Crossing River. Wednesday closed a years business of the flat now in operation across the Wnteree river at this place. On/ July 18th, 1910, the steel bridge over the river went down and by Septem ber 5th the county commissioners had a flat in operation^ Since that time $10,003.50 has been collected from au tomobile traflle nlone?50c being charg ed every car crossing. The largest day's business amiunted to $130, the largest amount collected for one week was $587, this being the week of the State fair in Columbia when traffic was so congested at the river. Out of the ahove amount f.'lO per week had to be paid to the ferryman operating the -ferry, and some repairs have l*?en made, using a portion of the amount collected. Supervisor West tells us that a portion of this money will he used in paying interest on the bridge bonds. He also tells us that lumber fs on th? grounds for construction of two more flats to be placed into* operation noon. ? It Is estimated that wbep the new bridge is completed and the toll sys tem Inaugurated over this bridge that the amount will far exceed the sujpfc taken in by the ferry system. The new bridge will rharge a 50 cents toll for automobiles nnd 5 cents per head for horses?footmen will not.l?e charg-' ed. ?
