Policemen Hanged in Effigy.
Qconee News.
On Monday night, Dec. 5th, Sene
ca's two policemen, Messrs. Hinckel
ad Powell were hanged in effigy.
When the citizens of the town came
to their places of business Tuesday
Morning they found' a dummy figure
hanging to a telephone pole. On one
side was a placard bearing the inscrip
tion: "A warning to HinckeL" On
the other side of the figure was a pla
card bearing the inscription: "A
warning to Powell." It is not known
who did the hanging but it is thought
that some boys who were arrested a
few nights ago for popping firecrack
ers did it. The town council has of
fered a reward of $50 for information
that will lead to the arrest and con
viction of the guilty parties.

"Oh," said the man of types. "we c
never ask a gentleman for money?"
"Indeed !" t'se patron replied. "How
do you manage to get along when
they don't pay?"r
"Why," said Mr. Editor, "after a
