Nelson says ne can have his statement corroborated by citizens of Lanes, and this will contradict the prisoner's statement as to his whereabouts on Friday. Opinions as tp the guilt of the boys are divided. If these areirrit the right part es, the real murderers have a five-days'journey bet ween them selues and tiieir crime. All sorts of rumors are afloat as to the present whereabout -of the right men. It is said they were seen in Forreston Monday. Some people discredit Nelson's state f qieni about having seen Phelphs at Lanes Friday. The remains oiT the murdered j men were buried at the-expense | of the county very jiear where jthey mfere hi lied, Monday w morni ing. i The rsews ana courier, m an ! editorial under the caption "Blood hounds Wanted" had the following* to say: There is a familiar lesson in the story ot the double murder at Baiters, on Saturday night, and of the two outrages which preceded it, and we Venture to urge it on the attention of county authorities generally, as we have done before on several like occasions. It relates to the wisdom of ;the, plan of keep' fng bloodhounds or. other track[hounds at every cbtinty seat, for the purpose; of huuting criminals 1 who cannot be traced by any other means. In the present case the murderers of the: t\vo unfortunate peddlers ha&Qo.difficolty in* escaping frem the scene of their crime because of the character of the Jo( cality. A #amp was near, and afforded ready cover for their flight. "Very little effort" accordingly was made for their capture. Men armed themselves and took theii j. stations to watch thp swamp, but j. it is possible that the murderer? I were inues away Doiore xneir crime was discovered. The sheriff was summoned from a distance, and was expected to ' organize a posse and chace the men down." but with their start of twenty-four or thirtysix hours the chances of the chase were altogether in favor of the fugitives. It would have been dif ferent had it been practicable foi the authorities at Salters to gel j bloodhounds from the county seal as soon as the murder was discov ered. Well-trained dogs coulc doubtles have led the chase direct ly on the trail even as late as at ai advanced hour on Sunday, the dai ^ after the killing. The men who killed the Italian a are suspected with good reason t< e be the same ones who committer e two other serious crimes during th j. preceding week, and who hav since been wandering about th n county at their pleasure. Wit! k track dogs available for the searc g they could have been run dow before they committed their las | and worst crime. 'I he lesson has boon repealed ! over and over in nearly every i county. It upp-urs to Inve been ! repeate I often enough to compel its general application. Tiie do?js ! cost little, and are service.not I only to trace criminals who can-' not he traced by other mem;-, but! to deter men from crime. It is wholly reasonable to believe that1 evil disposed men will hesitate long abo t committing murder or robbery when they know that an jarmed posse anda*?ack of hounds' 'would he on their track in a few I I hours after its commission.

There is, not a county in the State that i> exempt from the need for their j services and the protection they afford. It is really surprising that the authorities of any county should require to have the duty of providing such detectives urged on them i more than once. ! An Easter Hop. The Easter hop given by the Wee *- *?-- 1 II ^C0 UUD Ul- lUO lijuus u nci - ??n j Tuesday nfght was a very enjoyable function. The large double parlors afforded ample room, and tie light fantastic., was gayly tripped until the proverbial "wee sina' hour-." The crowd was not as large as usual, bnt seemed to make up 'n enthusiam what was wanting in numbers. The music on piano and vio- j Jin as furnished by Messrs. Bulliird j and Wolfe was most inspiring, and j the floor was all that could be desired. Among the visitors present were Miss Mabel Rollins, of Lake City, Miss Bessie Howard, of Salters and Mr. P. A. Willcox, of Forence. The Wee Nee dab is not >'et two years old, but Is a potent factor in the social life of Kingstree. Its dances are always enjoyable occasions and are looked forward to with much interest D. Suppose everybody should stay away from church as much as you * do, what wonld be the result ? He who does his best, however' little, is always to be distinguished from him who does nothing. i Smoke "Pride of Darlington'*., tobacce. grown in South Carolina and'manufactured in DaHiilgton. .
