Special tu The Dispatch-News.
Swansea, Dec. 22, 1919.?The people
in the Sardis church section became
aroused over the robbery of
the church a short time since, and
about the same time a book-case wa$
f taken from the Calvary school house,
and were determined to apprehend, if
possible, the gnttty party or parties;
and the result is that Prank Harlcy,
a negro, is now in Lexington jail. A
search warrant wAs issued by Magistrate
Martin arid countersigned by
the Magistrate at St. Matthews and
Frank's house was searched and the
stolen things found in his house. The
evidence putting suspicion on Frank
was at first a very slender thread,
which soon grew into hand-cuffs.
Frank has a rather bad reputation
along the line of Corgetfulness as to
the proper owner of things.
Swansea has had a good business
year. A great deal of cotton was sold
here during the fall season but the
possibility of the boll weevil coming
next year has thrown a wet blanket
over the spirits of the people.
A good many of the negroes are
going from this section to Marlboro
cunty to work on the farms over
there.
