She was nearly 34 years old, is survived by her husband and one child. She was a member of the Methodist church and was a good woman. She was a daughter ot the late Mr. D. D. Douglass and a sister of Mrs. J. R. New of Pageland. The body was buried at Hopewell Saturday about 11 o'clock. Policeman Melton was out Thursday night looking for Can McManus, a young negro charged with stealing a couple of hams from his father, Ranee McManus, when someone in the road ahead fired several shots in his direction and the bullets came so close they could be heard in the air. Melton came back a little later with Can and Willie McManus and locked them up for the night. Next morning Esq. Rodgers gave Can 60 days on the gang for ham stealing, and fined Willie $35 for shooting on the public highway. It is said that Rural Policeman E. W. Moore will resign the first of April, after one year's service. From all accounts received at this office he has made a splendid officer. Mr. Carter, of McBee, has been elected to fill the vacancy, but there is talk that n^f! ** ?- - ronceman Mellon will be moved from Pageland to McIIee and that Mr. Carter will be given this territory. Then the opinion is held that Mr. Carter will not leave his home and come to Pageland. In that case, Mr. A. C. Douglass, who is next in line, would be elected to the position here.

He had been active in church work for a number of years, ne was owner of the Chesterfield Advertiser for a great many years, having disposed of it to its present owner less than a year ago. He was editor of the paper much of the time he owned it. He was one of the best known citizens of the county. At the time ot his death he held a position with Odom Bros, company and was clerk of 1 ? - * me uoara 01 couniy commissioners. Because of rough weather the meeting recently called bv Mayor Nelson to consider the organization of a fire company for Pageland was attended by only a few, and no steps were taken. He has called another to meet at the hardware store tomorrow (Thursday) night. It is requested that just as many as possible of the able-bodied male citizens attend. The town has a hundred or more buckets suitable for use in carrying water to fight fire, and a few ladders and other nPPfipH tnrilc <-lf iwia U1 impiClllUUlS could easily be secured. By having an organized and practiced force of fighters and the buckets and ladders in a convenient place the town should be able to extinguish many fires before much headway is gained. It might also bring about a reduction in insurance rates, a thing few of us would oppose. At any rate the matter is worth your consideration, and it is your duty, perhaps, to attend this meeting. Sylvester Stack, a negro about 21 years old was killed Saturday night about 8 o'clock at the forks of the road above the Robinson place about a mile over in Lancaster county by a shot from a shot gun which took effect in the right hip and penetrated the abdomen. The shot was tired at close range, and an ugly wound was made. The negro died about 12 o'clock Saturday night. Stack was on his way to a negro band playing at Howard Funderburk's, a negro who lives across the creek in this county. He was accompanied by three or four other negroes. It is claimed that the man who fired the shot was hiding behind a tree. An inquest was held Sunday, and two negroes, Walter and Wriston White were arrested and jailed, charged with the crime, Walter White's gun was found to have been lately discharged, and the snot in some of his shells were exactly the size of the shot found in the dead negro's body. White claimed to have shot a squirrel with the gun, but when carried to the exact spot he had indicated no signs could be found that he had been there. Stack lived with Mr. George McManus. The next term of court for Lan caster county will convene uuxt Monday, Mr. C. C. Clark lost a good horse Sunday. Mr. P. J. Davis of Lanes Creek township, lost a good cow Sunday.

Mills on Thursday night, March 16th to raise money to buy an organ for the new church in the Evans mill section. A little more time than we thought must elapse before we can make definite announcement as to the future of the paper, and we shall ask that another week or two be given us. Mr. Raymond L. Rodgers and Miss Dora Terry were married at Mt. Moriah church Sunday morning by Rev. R. W. Cato. Mr. Rodgers is a son of Esq. and Mrs. G. M. Rodgers' and is a prominent young farmer. Mrs Rodgers is a daughter of Mr. anc Mrs. J. W. Terry, who lives three miles north of Pageland. She is a bright young lady and is quite popular, tioth have the besi wishes of a great many friends. NOTED CASE NOW BEING TRIED Two Days Spent on WallaceWest Arant Case? Just a Start. Court for the trial of criminal cases convened at Chesterfield Monday, and the consideration of the case against the Wests Wallaces and Arants was begun first. A good part of the daj was consumed by the lawyers in an attempt to agree as to how tne case should be tried. The final agreement seems to have been that they would first try to find who killed J. D. Wallace; next who killed J. W. Arant;and finally how many were guilty of the charge of riot. Mr. C. I. Funderburk was the first witness put on the stand, and he was followed by W. J. 13. Funderburk. Nothing new was established by these witnesses. Court adjourned about 6 o'clock to convene again Tuesday. Four other witnesses lor the State, J. W. Qmck, J. T. Grant, H. A. Nicholson and B. C. Moore, were examined Tuesday; also ten other witnesses nnH is not yet. It is impossible to say when the trial will end or what will be proven. A lawyer was heard to remark Tuesday afternoon that the evidence was of such nature that a reasonable doubt might be left in the minds of the jurors as to whether any shooting at all was done or not. A whole army of witnesses are in attendance, and the court room is packed each day with spectators. No case in recent years has attracted so much attention. M. J. Hough is assisting Solic itor Spears. Laney, Miller and Brown are for the Arant side. Pollock & Pegues, Stevenson & Prince are for the Wests and Wallaces. The jurois were all selected from other sections of the county, all those from this section being rejected.
