have been assured that if the

Tru?si?ll Pirdmd.
ltather an interesting case acted
up ?n Thursday was that of Hollis
Truesdell, a negro, convicted in
Chester county in February, 1872.
of grand larceny and sentenced to j
18 months in the penitentiary, says
The State of Thursday. After
serving about a year, the negro'
escaped, and for 18 years has been
the trusted servant of a leading
physician. A short time ago some
one who knew the circumstances
had the negro arrested and sent
back to prison. A strong letter
from the physician referred to Hnd
the recommendation of Solicitor
Henry secured the man's pardon.
The old man spoken of in the
above -paragraph was arrested by
Ollicer Nivens at this place two
months ago. Trueftdell escaped
from prison after serving four
months and lias since made his
home in this county. The physician
in question was Dr. D. (t.
Thompson, of Fort Mill, who has
known the dnrkey for years. It I
was be who circulated and pre- j
seated to the governor the petition
asking for TruesdeH'a pardon. An 1
effort will be made to have the old i
man return to Fort Mill and resume
his duties as servant to Dr.
Thompson, who has all confidence
in Truesdell.
Found a Baby Boy.
Wednesday night about half
past eight a small male infant was
found on the platform of the
Southern's warehouse, says the
Cheater Lantern. A negro boy,
Sugar by name, heard the child
crying and thought it was the
noise of cats. The boy gathered
some rooks to throw at the supposed
cats but when he found the
noise proceeded from a bit of humanity
he took a hasty departure.
Absolutely no clue to the child's
parentage has been found. A
change of clothing was left near]
the child and the following note: {
"This child I leave in the hands
of some dear one, trusting that it
will be cared for, as I am not able
to care for it myself. I leave it
here in sight of the heavenly one,
Christ Jesus.'1
The handwriting was very good
and appeared '.o be the penmanship
of. a woman. The spelling was
correct.
Whether the parents of the child
were on the train or frotn the near
community cannot be said.

his escape shortly afterward, and

Logan was notified on Thursday
that Hammond bud beeu caught
at Newton; but that lie refused to
come to South Carolina without a
requisition. Sheriff Logan immediately
telegraphed the sheriff at
Newton to swear out a warrant and
commit Hammond as a fugitive
from justice, and after sending
these instructions he proceeded to
take steps to secure the return of
me prisoner to Xorkville. It will
probably be a week before Hammond
ih landed in the York county
jail; but be will 110 doubt be
here in plenty of time for the next
term of court.?Yoikville Enquirer.
[ .lumen Hammond is a son of
Wui. Hammond, who until a few
years ago was a resident of Kort

Since the above, was put in type
it is learned that Hammond has
escaped from the guard house at
Hickory, instead of Newton, and
is again at large.

Mr. Walter Potts, who hns been
visiting his relatives in Pleasant
Valley and Fort Mill, and his
"sweethearts" in Pleasant Valley
and other places too numerous to
mention, returned to his home in
Mississippi Monday night. It was
certainly pathetic to hear him re- !
late the experience he had when
bidding his girl farewell. He went
prepared to weep, to conform old
vows and make new ones, but, to
his great surprise, when he ap|
preached her home, he found that
there were "others," who seemed
to have monopolized the company
of his girl. This is the manner in
which he expressed his feelings:
"It made me so mad that cold chills
just ruu all over me. I forgot
everything I wanted to say; and if
it hadn't been for my stability 1
don't believe I would have gotten
a chance to tell her goodbye at
all." I consoled him somewhat

A small steel wedge, half an inch
wide l?y two uiehes in length, used 1
in the recent safe' robbery, was
found a few days ago in the hank.
The wedge was sharpened to a
la/.or's edge on one end. while the
other was probably half an inch
thick and. it is thought, was driven
between the door and body of the
safe, thereby making an opening
large enough to allow the uitro
glycerine to enter.

Four years my health completely
gave way. I was 4N years old, and
was prostrated from trouble pertaining
to my sex. The doctors said there was
no hojie for me; I lni^ht live a year, I
mi^ht not live a month. I was confined
to my bed for three months, and for
about a year would have faiutiuKSpells
that exhausted me so that I would he
confined to my bed after each one, for
two or three weeks. None of my fam
ily had any hop j of ever seeing ine well
attain, nor niv doeor. I was weak and
nervous, in a failing condition generally.
Some friends in Charlotte advised me to
try Mrs. Joe. Person's Remedy. As a
drowning jierson will catch at a straw,
1 was willing to try any thin#. I
bought half-dozen bottles and took it
l>ui coum not boo that it did me tiny
good. Still, not knowing what else to
do, I bought another half dozen, and
without any faith in it or anything else,
I continued it. Before I had taken the
dozen bottles I felt a little stronger. I
took the Remedy regularly for one year,
taking in all about three dozen bottles,
and it has restored me to health. My
health is better than it was for years
before I was taken down, and I feel
that all danger has passed. My nervousness
is cured. It has been 2 years
since I stopped taking the Remedy, siuee
I needed it. I cannot say too much in
its praise. My doctors said my trouble
was cancerous, but I think now it was
change of life. Mrs. Thos. Johns.
