One day not very long ago a locomotive and seven cars stood on a siding there. Stallings "mounted to the cabin," but without "orders in his hand," pulled the throttlo and ran the train several miles. The? affair was In vestigated by detectives, who refus ed to believe that the little negro ran the train, despite his confession. Ho was brought to Columbia and given a chance to show his abilities as an engineer. Much to the aston ishment of tho train tu..??, he ran ? engine forward and backward and performed several "stunts" for the entertainment of the detectives. He was brought before Magistrate .las. H. Fowles, who investigated the charges, bul found that the boy was loo young to be sent to the ?bain gang, o?d being a resident of ano ther county could not be sent to the reformatory from Richland county. There was a question as to disposing of tho case until Constable Duna way offered to take charge of Stall ings. He kept him under watch, making him perform services about the home until Rev. Richard Car roll agreed to take the boy into the Industrial school. Last week Rev. Carroll and his protege went to Dar lington, where the little negro ran away, coming back to Columbia. He had been here only for a few hours j when he fell Into trouble for the sec- ' end time by making away with a tricycle from a residence on Laurel street.
