Three highwaymen, alleged to have been disguised with blackened faces, < Friday afternoon robbed three officials ; of the .T. G. White Engineering com- i pany of over $16,000 near the Parr 1 Shoals station. J. C. Joyner, deputy ; sheriff, was slightly wounded. i The money was sent out from the \ National Loan and Exchange bank of t Columbia on Southern passenger train < No. 13, of the Columbia and Spartan- i burg division, which i9 due at Parr i Shoals at 2:19 p. m., aDd was addressed to J. T. McLellen, superintendent j of the J. G. White Construction com- ] nanv. I The money had been receipted for \ by H. W. Mahar, the cashier. A few j minnte9 later as he, with Fred Bult- ] man and J. O. Joyner, Fairfield conn- j ty deputy, were on their way to the j offices of the company, they were con- i fronted by three white men, each arm- < ed with two reyolvers. I Deputy Joyner hesitated to raise his i hands and reached for his pistol. As 1 he did so he was shot, receiving a pain- ] ful though not serious flesh wound in 1 the thigh. Three other shots were 1 fired, it is said, but these went wild. s After the holdup the robbers dash- t ed across the railroad and into the woods on the ea9t side of the track, f The entire plant of the construction < - -V 1 3 Xl X xl ? - company was snut aown mat tue meu might assist in scouring the woods. As the robbers passed the station J. A. Hancock, the camp boss, attempted to intercept them.- He was fired upon three times, none of the shots hitting him. A reward of $600 has been proffered for their apprehension and proof sufficient to conviction. Searches by posses in every swamp, wood and section have proved futile up to this writing 3 " ( Court Convenes Monday. j The fall term of the Court of Gen- ? eral Sessions for Lexington county f will convene Monday morning at 10 i o'clock with the Hon. John S. Wilson, 1 of Manning, judge presiding. There t v.'ill doubtless be the heaviest docket t j that has faced a court in several terms ' j due largely to the fact that the sum- ( i iner term was cut short on account of 1 j the busv season cn the farm and many j | cases were carried over to the fall ^ i session. However, the lawbreakers j have not been idle, and Sheriff Miller | has teen no -ess active in bringing ' violators cf the law (o justice. There I i ' are nearly 20 prisoner- in jail at pres- . 1 __j i.t.; | eai, auU LUIS iiuuiuci" Wia mu^ii iiawj i be supplemented before the end of the r i week ' ; ( ; There are five murder cases to bo c j tried, two of which are white and * j three negroes. The most important of these will be the case of Levi i ! Gnnter, white, charged with the shoot- I ing to death of his cousin, Lester t ! Gunter, during the early part of this ( j year. The case has been continued i j for two terms and it is certain that it j will be called for trial next week i unless something unforeseen develops, c Both parties belong to the most prom- ' inent families of the Steedrnan settle- i ment, and many witnesses will appear i cn behalf of both the State and the c defense. Able counsel will represent 1 both sides, and a strong legal battle c will be waged. 1 The case of Grover Shall, the 16- * year-old school boy, who is charged i with the murder of Harvey Long, his I school-mate, several weeks ago, will 1 be tried during the term, it is said. This tragedy occurred near the home t of the parents of the dead boy, and at < i the time it was generally believed to ! c I . ?... , have been an accident, and this will | ? be the plea of the defense. Both fain- ^ ilies are well known residents of the I Hollow Greek section, and the horni- ! <] cide was very much deplored. j ] Fred Jackson, a negro, will be tried ! < for murder, it being alleged that he j f killed Fred Summers, another negro ! i at Chapin,sometime during trie winter Monroe Williams, the negro, who it i is alleged shot and killed Mack Hill, ] another negro, at the saw-mill of Mr ' | D.

Roof for obtaininc nouey under false pretense while he ?vns president and cashier of the Lexngton Savings Bank, was continued anfcil a future day, on Monday. There vas no objection on the part of the State, Col. E. L. Asbill, of Leesville. vho is aiding in the prosecution, agree' ng to a continuance. When the case was called by Mag strate Thos. L. Harman on Mondaj Mr. Nelson stated to the court thai ihe defense would osk for a continuance upon the ground that the affairs of Mr. Roof were still in the liands of the federal court and that in lustice to all parties, both the state and the defendant, he thought thai :he cases should be continued. He stated that until the report of tin :rustees of the estate of Mr. Roof hat made their report it would be impos9iMe to tell to what extent, if any, thf parties bringing the charges had beer iosers, and, further, he thought thai the cases should rest until the defend ant had received his discharge fronr 5he bankruptcy court. In reply, Mr. A9bill, for the State, laid that he had no objection to the jontinuance; that it would be impossi 3le for the State to proceed anywaj ivithout the presence of John J. Earle, referee in bankruptcy, W. H. Town >end, one 01 tne trustees wno was appointed receiver for the defunct bank, md B. J. Rhame, state bank examiner, ill of whom were important witne99eg 'or the state. The promised preliminary attracted i great many people to the courthouse, nearly every section of the county beng represented in the court room. Many came as witnesses, while others jame as interested spectators. Messrs. W. S. Nelson and Lawson D. Melton, of Columbia, were present it the hearing on behalf of the de'ense. Col. E. L. Asbill, of Leesville, opresented the state.
