Robbery at Parr Shoals .
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

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. B. Raw! near Lexington about c
j a month ago, is stil! in jail and hisoase i
i will have to be disposed of. 1

iTvOof Preliminary Continued.
Cprn motion of \V. S. isel.son, ol
counsel for the defense, the preliminary
hearing in the several charges
ijaiust Mr. W. P. 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. Solicitor Geo.
3cll Timmerman was present bui
:ook no part in the proceedings other
ban to confer with Attorney Asbill,
Die cnow go over until the affairs
)f Mr. Root have been fully reported
lpon.
