Under 12 Years Old Complain
to Parents. 1
Special to The State.
Laurens, Nov. IS ? P Harney j
Lock wood, a school teacher of
this place, is in serious trouble. I
Kor the past few months he has
been teaching at the I aureus eot?:
ton mill and everything apparent I
lv Was iilnn.r .?1.1.. I
? r- o rS
enough until a few days ago when
two of bis girl pupils informed
their parents that their teacher i
ha>I offered or attempted to takej
improper liberties, not only withl
them, but with several other girls'
of the school, all under 12 years1
of ago. This information, of
course, incensed the parents, all j
respectabto citizens, who at once,
without offering to do anything
rash, proceeded to swear out i
warrants charging Lock wood with
indecent assault and battery upon
females under proper ages of con
sent. The arrest was quietlv and
promptly made and Lock wood
committed to jail. lie waived
the preliminary and was released
upon giving the required bond, 1
$000, for his appearance nt tlio
next term of court in February
next.
The matter has been kept very
quiet, not gaining publicity, prob
ably from the fact that legal
processes wcie promptly resorted
to. and ilhothei' lertMpq the accused
man's family connection, ff hieh is
good and widely extended, he
having married an excellent ladv, I
now dead, of this county only a
few years ago. Lockwood is a
m m of tine intelligence, uliont IU?
years old and lias made a livelihood
bookkeeping and teaching in
this and adjacent counties for the I
past several years.
Whilo there has bt;cn some un
lercurrent rumors of taking the
natter out of the hands of the i
aw and meting out to the man
aire and swift punishment, it is;
lot at all likely to occur, as the
irosecutors have a strong case
md are evidently willing for the

Splendid legal talent has been
mployed on both sides, and the'

A traveller passing by the

^ near Lancaster, S. C., at 12
n o'clock, high noon on last Thurs0
day, Nov. 16th, would have noticed
' a line of carriages being drawn by
spirited horses leaving this aristo*
cratic home, as if on some mission
i- with which they wore not often
% honored; and if the traveller had
n turned his horse's head and fol1
lowed this pageant, it would ha"o
led him to old Douglass Church
>1 and in front of that sacred edifice
p he would have seen it stop and
men in waiting step to the heads
of the horses, as if their journey
was at an end.

to commence, one which cannoti
lie measured I>y miles, one which '
the lightning electricity cannot i

in her untiied hopes, was nhout I
to plight her troth to her Hero, j
j who came in the pleasant Spring j
'days when Natuie had bedecked
this old earth in her rarest colors
and conquered when she had
! sobered down her robing to n.
more sombre hue, as if in respect
to this solemn, yet happiest of a11
experiences.
' For on this day, in the church
whe?*o she wu?* dedicated to the
service of the Father Above, j

A screen of evergreens was

ROUND LAP HALE IS WORTH

Why a Texas Farmer Compress
Man Wishes Success to the
American Cotton Company's
Package.
The following letter from Mr.
.J Adoue, of Culvert, Texas is interesting
as showing the attitude
toward the American Cotton Company's
Roundlup halo of a in iu
who is a cotton farmer as well as
the owner of a square hale com
press:
''Hear Sir: A few days ago 1
noticed a bill introduced in the
Legislature proposing to tax your
company 40 per cent, of its gross
receipts. I presume the hill is
intended to confiscate your property
or drive you out of the State.
' Your machinery compresses
the cotton in a a smaller and netter
package than the present compresses.
You are in the field now
offering to save the cotton growers
fully #1.00 per halo hy reason of
compressing the cotton at the gin
nn.l 4 Ka A.. ..f I
| auu liiu III^; ui UI1U
i ties, yardage, etc.
"No doubt it is the intention
of the Legislature to protect the
present compresses from your
iniquitous competition, and as a
compress man I want them to do
it.
"As a farmer, however, 1 ho|>e
you will not be driven out; I want
to continue to sell \ou my cotton
at al?out $1.00 per bale more than
if put up in square bales.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J Adoue.
