D. P. Boyd. The bereaved parents in the gloom ol! their home in the Smyrna neighborhood, have the sympathy of all. The ending of a i bright young life under such circumstances is among the very saddest of all sad deaths and calls for the deepest sympathy to the afflicted family.

Found on Him. * ' Whether he is a victim of dime novel reading or simply suffering from total moral depravity, or what not, Frank Killian, a very young white boy, is in the hands of the law as a result of his evil deeds. hpv.^ fofV.QT. nf tVio vonthfnl thipf is JL.11T xamti vi vi*v j ? dead. His mother, sisters and brothers, (with the exception of a little i older brother who is at the reformatory) are Oakland mill people, and the boy Frank, had stolen away from his work in the mill when he got into trouble. His mother and family say | the boy is only 11 years old. He looks to be at least 13, but that may be due to his hard life. But to start at the beginning o^the robberies of which the lad is guilty. On Tuesday evening aDout i ociock, Policeman J. C. Lee received a phone message from young Kiliian's brother at Oakland asking if they had Frank in the lockup as he was missing j from the mill, having slipped away, I and they feared he was in trouble, j Mr. Lee informed Killian that he did| n't have Frank in charge but was I looking for him, as he, Lee, had been i told that Frank had been seen in a | hack that afternoon going towards the mill, and that he had a rifle with j him. The officer furthermore advised I Tr.MI!- "U "Kf + r* T* VkYM r? CT TTfQ T"1 Ir I JYlllian LUclt lie iiau uctitx vjx liif, i. a in to police headquarters. In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Thos. A. Berley was on the track of the little thief, and was proceeding on his way to arrest him, when the family brought him to the station house and with him they also brought j some of the stolen property. So he j was caught with the goods, which established his guilt, and he could not deny the theft. Afte* the mother and several mem^ | bers of the family had delivered the boy and the goods to the officer at i the station house, Chief of Police W. J H. Jernigin and Deputy Sheriff Ber| ley went to the home of the boy and recovered more of the articles. At this time the property has all been recovered except one chain to a gold locket which Chief Jernigen says | he is confident he will get. I' Before this latest robbery by the Jboy he stole about two months ago a ! pistol from Mr. Frank Halfacre at the stables. He'" claims he sold the pistol for $2 to some man he does not know. The ctiief made the boy acknowledge i this in discussing his recent robberies, which he committed last week and this week. He entered the residence of Col. E. ! H. Aull and stole several small ar tides. The most of the dealing was done at Mr. C. W. Fant's residence, the boy making three different excursions to the house, where he ransacked the place, getting hold of trunk keys and unlocking trunks, pilfering articles belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Fant and 1 An,faYMot+a T .onerfnrr? thA i Her SiBl/Cly 1TXXOO lUOi l^bWM ? , v-w J things consisting of about $300 in | jewelry, $10 in money, a little loose i change in small money bank and a | pistol about all that was missing. The 'house was entered on Saturday, SunI ! day and Monday, the boy watching ; chances of getting in while no one was in the house. Atogether the stolen articles would amount to $300 or more. There were some very fine and valuable pieces ; of jewelry in the lot, among them belonging to Miss Marietta Langford, a lovely platinum necklace set with diamonds and pearls worth $200, a locket and necklace worth $35, gold elasse^ worth $10, and a ten dollar bill. Among the articles belonging to Mrs. Fant was a locket with diaI monds and chain worth ?50. Mr. Fant's pistol was worth $27. I The city authorities turned the youthful criminal over to Magistrate J. C. Sample who committed him to jail in default of $200 bail. Chief Jernigen first caught on to the misdeeds of this boy when he learned that on Tuesday the boy had held up the negro keeper of Rosemont cemetery with Mr. Fant's pistol, or had attempted to hold him up, but didn't do much at it. The chief sent Policeman H. 0. Stone to investigate this part of the proceedings, and after he saw the boy the chief was told by Mr. Fant that his house had been robbed. Tins leads up 10 wnere ruiicema.ii Lee got the phone message. These officers work quickly and promptly in iheir various capacities. It doesn't take them as long to ^o things as it does the Atlanta police force. * J . J BACK INTO THE PAST. (iovirnor Iiiease I-iiik Across .lurv I Tickets Preserved For Some Thirty Years. Special to The Herald and News. Columbia. May 29.?While looking j through an old book belonging to his 'father, Governor Cole. L. Blease ran 'across six slips of paper on which | were written the names of six Newberrians of two decades and more ago, the six slips evidently forming the " jury list in a case in the court of Magistrate Henry H. Blease, the govj ernor's father. The handwriting was . I mat 01 Mr. jf. r . caAtei, wuu wao ai i one time constable for Magistrate I Blease. As is generally known, in magistrate's courts, in selecting a jury, the names of eighteen men axe selected, and six of these drawn compose the jury. Evidently these six* had been drawn from the eighteen. Of the six men, five have passed into another world, only one surviving. I Each ticket bears the number, and by a strange coincidence the number of the survivor was 13. The gentleman whose number was 13 is Mr. i Campbell L. Havird, probably the only merchant in Newberry today who was in the mercantile business at that time. The six tickets were as follows: B. H. Lovelace, 8. J. 0. Peoples, I. J. P. Fant, 3. ! J. F. Glenn, 16. C. L. Havird, 13. Columbus McWhirter, 9. Some idea of how long ago it was . that this jury was empanelled may be ! gleaned from the fact that this writer, I whn has lived in Newberry all his life, recalls in the flesh only two of those who have passed away, though the names of all of them are familiar to him as the names of men identified with the city. * Governor Blease forwarded the slips to Mr. P. F. Baxter, knowing that they would be.valued by him as souvenirs of a past of which happy memories linger, though tinged with the sadness, which time can not efface, of the passing of the comrades and friends of yesterday. Such things as this carry those who nnnnantfld nritli tham haplr ifltn WCiC niku other days, and it is always profitable, in the right kind of spirit, to go back to by-gone days. This incident will carry the editor of The Herald and News back to the days of his young manhood, for he at one time was Magistrate Blease's assistant in the magistrate's office, and there began a friendship which has descended. ' Had it not been for the fire of the j spring of 1907, which destroyed the j papers of the late lamented Magistrate Blease, it would be possible to trace this jury to the case which it was selected to try. Possibly' the survivor of the six . gentlemen who composed the jury may recall the case, though it is hardly probable after the lapse of some thirty years, unless it was a case which especially imprinted itself upon his memory. J. K. A. K Death of Mr. G. M. Shealy. Mr. George M. Shealy, more generally known as "Guinea" Shealy, died at ^ 'his hom-e in the eastern suburbs of*1 the city, near Mollohon, on Tuesday J morning at 9.30 o'clock, after a stroke of apoplexy on Saturday, and was i , buried on Wednesday morning at j 10.30 o'clock at Mt.
