r Creditors Meet Tomorrow
The creditors of the Lexington Sav"
ings Bank, which went into the hands
tof a receiver several weeks ago, and
of W. P. Roof, bankrupt, will hold a
meeting in the court house tomorrow,
and it is expected that the tcwn will
be crowded with visitors. %
It has been rumored for some time
that a compromise would be offered
at this meeting. Developments of the
last few days, however, have changed
the situation, and from the best infor-'
mation The Dispatch has been able to
gather, it appears now that no compromise
will be offered.
1 Incase no compromise is offered,
** the creditors will likely elect one or
1 more trustees, who will proceed to
wind-up the affairs as rapidly as the
fU ?.
Iaircomssances win permit.
What per cent the creditors will re\
alize on the assets of Mr. Roof cannot
at this time be intelligently estimated.
Arthur Dreher Buried.
More than one thousand people attended
the burial of the late Arthur
N. Dreher at St. Michael's Lutheran
churoh, near hiB home, on last Sunday
f afternoon. As his beloved pastor, the
Rev. W. P. Cliae, spoke feelingly of
' his departed friend, there were but
few dry eyes in the vast assemblage.
The pallbearers were composed of
k fox-hunters, all of whom were selected
^ by the deceased several weeks before
Wf his death. They were: D. F. Efird,
r i Sam Lowman, S. E. Hendrix, Heber
R. Dreher, F. L. Oorley and James
Wise.
A striking feature was the very
i large attendance of colored people",
many of whom had been in the employ
of Mr. Dreher for many years.
The floral offerings were the moat
I elaborate ever seen in this section, the
I grave being completely covered with
1 handsome designs.
Arthur Dreher will be missed in the
W family circle; he will be missed in the
f church, and he will be mis sea in ine
community, where he has been a power
for many years.
Mironaugli's.
There may be "Dull" seasons at
some stores, but not so at the big department
store of J. L. Mimnangh &
Co., Columbia. Every day is a big
day here, and the clerks are always
busy waiting on the crowds but they
are always attentive and pleasant to
friends and customers. At Mimnangh's
you can find everything you
~"Want under one roof without having
to hunt the city over, an i too, you
will find the prices right on every
article, lower than you can find elsewhere
for highclass merchandise.
Special bargains may be fouud at

Throat Was Cat.
Colombia State, 29th.
J. A. DuB098 of Bi9hopville, a traveling
salesman, was arrested last night
on the charge of having murdered his
friend, J. D. Stuckey of Bishopville, a
wealthy planter, who was found lying
on his bed with his throat cut in a local
sanitarium last night about 8:15
o'clock. After an investigation by
Sheriff Coleman and Coroner Walker,
which lasted for over three hours, Mr.
DuBose was arrested.
There was every indication that Mr.
Stucky had committed suicide except
that the knife with which he cut his
throat could not be located anywhere
in hi9 room. The knife, a doublebladed
bone-handle instrument, was
found in a pocket of a coat belonging
to Mr. DuBose in his room on Lady
street. There were two small splotches
of blood on the blade.

their work. But comparatively little

without a furrow having been drawn.
Y/here the land has been broken it is
said to be in a bad way and great difficulty
is experienced in getting the
ground in proper condition for planting.
Small Grain Good.
The prospects for a large crop of
small grain is very much better now
than a few weeks ago and it.is believed
that the harvest will bo great. Early
