Gibson, Esq^is in receipt of! loivci iiuui ?i. w. waring, assistant U. S. attorney, stating that the case against Mr. B. B. Hen field in connection with misappropriation of funds, at the local postoffice had been withdrawn. At th fall term of the federal court at Columbia the grand jury returned a bill against Mr. Benfield -charging him as an accessory to the thefts. Mr. Benfield was not called to trial and last week Mr. J. B. Gibson, Mr. Benfield's attorney, received the v' following letter from Mr. Waring: ""Refering to the case agalnBt B. B. *4 Benfield, I desire to informn yeu that a nol pros has been entered and the case thus ended against Mr. Benfield." Mor? than a year ago $3000 consigned to a local bank disappeared from a mail sack thrown from a train after postoffice hours. The custom is ( to keep the sacks in the depot until | next morning when they are delivered to the postoffice. Mr. Benfield was night operator at the depot and for some reason susniHnn BHachoH him. There was no evidence to show that the money was in the mail sack when it was thrown from the train or no other evidence that in any way connected Mr. Benfield with the disappearance of the package. The grand Jury, however, at the fall term of the federal court returned a bill against Mr. Benfield and Mr. Benfield had no knowledge that he was even under suspicion until he saw the article in the paper. He went to Columbia immediately end asked for a trial but failed to obtain it. Later he took steps to bring the matter to a head and last week the district attorney had the case stricken from the docket. Mr. Benfield was never arrested nor was he asked to give bond. o SATURDAY NIGHT FIRE. 1 ? Fire was discovered In a cotton seed storage warehouse at the Carolina Milling Company?B plant Sat1 urday night, and although the fire department responded promptly, the I seed and warehouse were damaged to the amount of $2000 before the fire , could b? extinguished. The deportment did splendid work, and the I flames were under control in a short while after th? fire fighters arrived on the scene. The origin-of the fire Is unknown, but Mr. Stead Stackhouse thinks a tramp is responsible 1 for It. Mr. Staekhous? was returning i irom rayeuevuie Saturday morning ' J and picked up a tramp who was eom? >; 1 ln* south. He gare the fellow a lift I x to Dillon and also money to buy a meal after they arrived in town. Lat-, I er In the evening the tramp asked Mr. Stackhous* If he knew where he | could find a place to sleep that night. Mr. Stackhouse told him he did not. ) and then the fellow asked if they had a night watchman. Mr. Stackhouse . told him they did net. and it is presumed that the WtWw went into the . eeed house to sleep and while smoking dropped ashes on the seed. The loss is pgr47 c$vered by insurance. we w ? j fBI DILLOff II ?BBS . . Mi | SWIPED TWO BALES. I Henry Coleman, colored.

Rich Hayes died at his home near | Maliory last Friday after an illness of several years. Mr. Hayes was one' of the best known citizens of the' Kirby section. He was active in the social, religious and political life of his community and his name is in-! delibly linked with the public affairs' of the Kirby section. He had served in various capacities, having been magistrate and school trustee for a number of years, and was one of the commissioners that had in charge the organization of the machinery of the | new county of Dillon and the erection of the public buildings. The interment was made at Bethesda Methodist church cemetery, Mr. Hayes having been a life long member of this church. He is survived by his wife , and several sons and daughters. o MALLORY.

Powers and David Brumbies. g Prof. Roberts Goes to Epmrorth. I, At a meeting of the executive board of Epworth Orphanage held at Columbia last Saturday, Prof. W. D. Roberts, superintendent of the Dillon schools, was elected to succeed Rev. T. C. O'Dell e8 superintendent of the orphAage. The trustees were aware of Af. Roberts' intention to give up school work at the close of the present term, but the announcement came as a surprise to the patrons of the school. Mr. Roberts came to Dillon from Clio two yearg ago and fyas greatly endeared himself to the people of the community. He is one of the ablest teachers in the state and has raised the Dillon schools to a very high standard. The patrons of the school are delighted with hi8 work, and while his elevation to the superintendency of Epworth is an honor of which his many friends are justly proud, yet there is a general feeling of regret over the fact that in hiB going the fehools, as well as the social and religious life of the community, will suffer a distinct loss. Mr. Roberts will, of course, remain as the head of tho schools until the present school term closes in June. o Services at The Methodist Church. Main Street Methodist Church, Dr. Watson B.
