Rushton Sas Returned.
| B. F. Rushton, the young white con!
vict who escaDed so mysteriously from
I the chaingang about two weeks ago
! just before a heavy rain and tkunder|
storm, returned to camp"last Thursday
: to serve out the remainder of his sentence
of eight months for forgery,
after spending a week with his wife
and children near Saluda. Rush ton
told Capt. Mack upon his return that
he was just obligea to see his family
j and that he made no attempt to go
| further than his home. He said he
! cut his shackles with the axe he carj
ried off with him presumably to get
wood, and that he wore a" suit of
clothes belonging to one of the negroes.
Whan he left he was the cook
and a "trusty," but is now shoveling
dirt along with the other convicts,
j Capt. Mack being of the opinion that
Rushton might want to make another
! visit to his family soon.
! With the return of Rush ton, this
leaves only two men to escape from
the gang under the new management,
and both of them were "trusties,"
haying only a few more months to
! serve.

* School Trustees.
To the County Supt. of Education.
Dear Sir:?I send you, herewith, a
copy of the Attorney General's opinion
as to the appointment of school
trustees. Section 1210 of the code
was amended in 1003, 1901, and 1905,
and the contradictions in the several
amendments could not be harmonised
without this ruling.
In consequence of this opinion, there
will be no appointment of school trustees
this year except in case of vacancies
by resignation, death or some
