sen'er t rain two weeks a'o. iausling t
e deat:h of the engineer and two :i
i ir'emnei1. were spir.ited omit rf the vorn

1umnia. The prionr were ac- I

I: was thought best to remove Irby
and A-new to Columbia so as to avoid
fortl!er trouble with citizens who feel
that they have been outraged. The
autihorities state that it would have
lbeen impossible for either Irby or
Aznew to have been taken from the
jail. but rather than have military
(compamiles and special offieers on dutyh
about the jail indefinitely it was
deemed best to take them to Colum- t]
bia for sa-fekeeping. Next Saturday
is circus day. and several thousand
people will be in the city and it was
feared that the citizens of the mill
villages might make another demon- -
stration then. The situation was ex
I plained to Governor Ansel and to
ar rid all further trouble it was decid
ed to send the prisoners to the State
penitentiary.
Today shortly before noon, the hour
for the departure of the train to Lau
rens, the Traynham Guards, of Lau
rens. one of the companies which has
been on duty since Saturday night,
marched to the passenger depot. The
presence of the soldiers marching
through the streets to the station di
verted the attention of the crowds
from the jail. Upon the -arrival of .
the company at the station they
boarded the train. Deputy Sheriff C
Becknell and Capt. Nichols, of the
Hampton Guards, accompanied by C
Sherit' Nichols. took Irby and Agnew
from the ja.il and hurried t.hem out the
hack way. The train was flagged at
a crossing near the Palmetto Roller
Mills and the prisonmers placed aboard. ~
The engineer of the train lost no time
in getting under way again. Sheriff
Niehols did not accompany Capt. ~
Nichols and Deputy Becknell with the
prisoners. Court is now in session
here and his duties required him to C
be at the court house. t
It did not become generally known
that the prisoners had been removed b
from the jail for some time after e
they had been taken away. All -the a
troops that have b)een on duty since t
Saturday have been dismissed. The d
Traynham Guards re*.:rned to Lau- y
rens today and the Morgan Rifles re- a
turned to Clifton on a special trolley a
car.
Thie oficeers who were on daty at
the jail all day Saturday and Satur~
day night and throughout last night
say that it would have been impossi
ble to have 'taken Irby from the jail,
even if the mob had effected an en
trance, for the prisoner was locked up
in one of the inner cells and it would
have required all the chisels, steel
saws. etc.. in S.partaburg to take him
out. The moment the negro was
br ought to jail on Sa'turday morning
he was placed in one of the strong- 1
holds. This was done so that if there
had been a general firing by the mob
Irby would not he struck by any of
the bullets. I
Irby was badly frightened on Sat- (
urday, but during 'the latter part of ~
th eafternoon he become more com
posed. Whmen first arested, near Sax- ~
on Mills. he seemed to be in a doped I
or dazed condition. The other piis
oners in j:1i1, especially those who oc
upied cells near the windows and
knowing just what was going to hap
pen. On the whole, though, they I
could be seen by tihe angry mob out
side, were more or less exe,ited, not
made no trouble for the oficeers.
There were frequent reports going I
the rounlds during today thlat Miss .t
Dempsey was dead, but upon inRuiry
it was learned that she is doing as
well as can be expeeted. Her condi- 2
tion is still serious.
As a result of tihe efforts of the t
mob to capture Irby nine arrests have
been made as follows:<
John Sparks. Oscar Carver, Ben1
McCarthy, Bud McCarter, Nathant
Richard. Grover Fowler. Cicero Thom- t
as Will Burnett, Wiley Burnett. All
of the defendants have given bail in I
sums ranging from $350 to $1,000. It I
could not be learned her today wheth
er a sp)ecal term of court will be call
ed for tile trial of Irby or not.
Private Hoke. a mem'ber of the,a
Hampton Guards, the local military.
copany. was placed under errest
yesterday on the charge of refusing
to obey orders. Hoke left the comn- I
pany. it is said, saying that he would
not protect a negro charged with
attempting to ravishl a whlite woman.I
Later~ he wa~s found by a detachlment
of soldiers and carriedI to jail. He
was released today and will be court-]
martialed.

ANTIQUITY OF CONCRETE.
7se of This Common Material Dates
Back Many Centuries.
"Another wise man has just made
he remarkable discovery that con
rete is only in its swaddling clothes,''
ement manufacturer remarked to
nf electrical engineer, apropos of a
uasi-seitific article in a popular
nagazine on various phases of this
naterial. "The same astounding
liscovery used to be made abou:t elec
rcitv.'' returned the electrician,
'until the novelty wore off, .and
he public refused to be .astounded
my longer. Then your line was hit
lptn ais a more fallow field.''
The cement man 's -sarcasm will be
letter appreciated when the fact is'
aken -into ctonsideration that con
rete da:tes back more than a thou
and years, says Van Norden Maga
ine. The Romans employed con
'rete in road building aind founda
ion work. Throughout Italy will be
'ound structures, embodying t,he use
>f concrete, whose age will easily
'each a thousand years. Of course.
he Pantheon *at Rome is, perhaps,
he most noted.
Coming down from the time of the
tomans. the ancient city of Ciudad
Iodrio, in Spai-n. has walls existing
