NO CASE AGAINST MR. BENFIELD
J. B. 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at the local postoffice had been withdrawn.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.

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.

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

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.
