LITTLE JOE , Near a Riot Aii incipient riot wag nipped in the bad by the prompt arrival of the officers of the law at a District Conference of the negro Methodist church which was in session at Chapin last week. As it was one negro received a shot in the hand from a pistol ball. More than 2,000 negroes were present and for a time things looked squally. Fire at Cayee. Two stores owned by Mrs. (J.

Polite and Pr Brookland lias a Man Hnnt with Bloodhounds Causing Much Excitement Brookland, May 30. ? Yesterday Brookland had a man-hunt all her own and while it lasted caused considerable excitement. Abont 10 o'clock yesterday morning two unknown negroes went into the store of O. E. Still & Co. and asked to be shown some shoeB. They were rather particular, wanted nothing under three and a half or | four dollars. Mr. Still showed them several pairs of shoes and while the the negroes were looking at them he stepped behind the counter for another pair. As soon as Nr. Still turned his back one of thenegroes picked up a shirt from a box on the counter and stuffed it into the pocket of his overalls^ffWhen Mr. Still turned around he rjpticed the shirt and asked the negiy where he got it. The n^gro replied that he bought it in Columbia. Mr. Still told him the shirt came from his stock and took it from him. He then called to his saleslady Miss Goff to look for a policeman, the negro also started for the door. Mr. Still called to him thi ee times not to leave the store, but the negro kept a going. As he went out for his gun and followed to the side-walk and called to the negro to halt, but instead he ran. Mr. Still followed for half block, when the negro ran into a side street. As he did so Mr. Still fired twice at the fieeing man, but does not think he hit him. Both were running and under such circumstances he had not time to aim accurately. By this time fifteen or twenty men had joined the chase and followed the negro for an hour or more, the negro leading them through Cayce, past the phosphate mill in the direction of Orangeburg. It is said the negro did some running Sheriff Miller arrived about this time and at once got dogs from the penitentiary and a party of 35 or 40 left in automobiles to take up the chase some two miles from here, where the first party, almost exhausted from the run, had abandoned the chase. The dogs readily caught the trail. The negro was sighted again within 100 yards of where the first party left. The men were in sight of him several times, and the dogs bayed him three times but the negro wonld fight them off and make another dash for liberty. At one time the machine of Dr. Geiger got within three feet of ihe negro, and one of the party called to him to halt or he would shoot. The negro looked back and seeing no gnn, although apparently almost exhausted put on more speed. Mr. Stucky ran him bnt could not catch him. Se 7er? al others had similar experiences. After a chase of several hoars, the doge exhausted from the heat and exertion, refused to run any more, came to their master and laid down. Ihe men also were tired out and the chase had to be given up. The negro is low and stont and black. Both of the negroes that entered the store of Mr. Still Are unknown in this community. Several believe they belong to the gang that has recently been breaking into the stores of Lexington County. - Shex iff Miller has some inside informotion which he thinks may possibly lead to an early arrest of them.

Campbell, self-confessed bigamist of Colombia, S. 0., was sentenced Monday, in criminal court, by Judge Prank B. Gary, to serve two years at such labor as he is able to perform. Judge Gary stated in passI ing sentence on Campbell that he took into consideration the physical condition of the defendant and telling him that by entering a plea of guilt he had acted wiselv. CamDbell hrnke down and tears flowed freely as he was being sentenced. The Campbell case is familiar to the public. On February 8, 1913, he married Miss Emma Small, danghter of D. M. Small, while he had a lawful wife and children living, residents of Columbia, where Miss Small also resided. After marrying Miss Small who was only about 15 years old, they went to Atlanta, where Campbell was arrested and brought back to Columbia. Dispensary Petitions All In. The advocates of the dispensary in this county on Saturday filed petitions with the county supervisor, asking for an election on the proposition of reestablishing the dispensary in Lexington county. It is claimed that upwards of two thousand names are on the list. Su- , pervisor Corley will, however, make ' a thorough examination of the petitions < before ordering the election, and it 1 will be several weeks, he says, before lift r?an nnflflihlv mabft anv anruvrmfto ment. If the petitions are legal, and it is found that the requisite number ha9 asked for the election the super- ' visor will act favorably; on the other 1 hand, if it is fcund that the petitions j do not come up to the requirements 1 of the law, the supervisor will refuse to order an election. "This is too im- 't portant a matter to pass over without ; careful consideration," said ^Supervisor Oorley yesterday, "and I am going to look into the matter carefully before I make a decision.'' ^ i Socialist E>leeting. !
