I *>-, .? fciuiBfc^y 'T JAIL DELIVERY FOILED. , Negro Parma "PUyed Possum." but Deputy wm not Fooled. Greenwood. Feb. 24.?A bold attempt at jail delivery here fell through Tuesday night when Deputy Sheriff D. T. Major, in charge of the county jail, failed to act as?the negroes expected him to. Several days ago a negro preacher, the Rev. B. H. Hogan. who is wanted in Georgia on a larceny charge, was arrested and put in jail here. Monday aftercoon he began a fervid religious service in the jail, with the result that all the negro prisoners, ten in number. professed immediate conversion and signed a written agreement to sin no more after they got out. They also signed a request addressed to the sheriff for immediate baptism in the respective churches of their choice. The sheriff declined to allow them to leave the jail to be baptized, although the request was renewed Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday night about 10 o'clock the deputy, who is in charge of the jail, was awakened by a great noise and hurrah among the negro prisoners and went down to investigate. Looking through the cell door he saw Hogan on the floor, apparently in great agony, and was told by the negroes that he was dying. Deputy Major noticed that all the prisoners were fully dressed, an unusual condition at that time of night He did not open the cell door, as he suspected something wrong. However, he sent for a physician. Dr. W. P, Barrett, who assured him there was nothing wrong with the negro. This morning Mr. Major took one of the negroes out of the ceil, and the negro confessed that they had planned a jail-delhrery, instigated by Hogan. They expected Mr. Major to open the cell door and intendeo to rush out and hut over him and get sway before anything could be done to stop them. WOOD Paid Dispensary Board. Columbia* Feb. 26.?Claims, of vhiskey houses against the Charleston county dispensary board amounting to orer $20,000 hare been held up *nd paid to the dispensary oommiaa on to satisfy the orer-judgments against these Arms, which were found by the commission at its last Ritcfag. The claims paid to the commission are as fol&ws: fenahsn k , Son. $15,620.26; Gallagher * Burton, $2,617.50; Garrett k Co>, $427. if; coo* * Bernheim, 97*2. This announcement was mads to-day by Attorney Osneral Lyon, who rstorned from . Charlsaton, together with ivery Patton, a msmbsr of the commission. The action was taken as a remit of the Act passed at the last leaskm .of the legislature providing | for the farther winding op of the affairs of the old 8tate dispensary. ' rho cheek for the $20,000 was turned rm to Mr. Patton by the Charleston ] soonty dispensary board. At a recent sitting of the oomnfasion all of the claims of the whis- ' key honees against which there had been over-judgments found were orlered held op in the different coon- ' ies. This aetiou practically pats an md to the negotiations with the fanahan Company, of Baltimore, rho had offered to settle with the ! eommission tor 50 cents on the dollar. The data of this company was fepproadmatety $9,000. There was an : svbr-judgment found against them to the extent of $28,000. The company offered to abandon its claim ind pay the specified amount on the Bverjudgmeat, which would have amounted to about $15,000. This mmpaay win very probably carry its ease to the Supreme Court, a notice ?f appeal having already been filed. Df course, if the company Is sustained by the Supreme Court the amount received from the Charbmton county board will be returned by the commission. The claim of the Tanshsn Company was considered at the session of the commission several days JIJ A A M ifu, ua wm uuaj ua not tci UTorMj towards the offer. The Richland county dispensary board has been ordered by the commission to pay the sum of 94.96S.1S to the commission, which is due to the Carolina Glass Company. This action was taken yesterday and several other Anns are affected. Up Goes Price ot Meat.

Feb. 24.?Harrison Higbee and Leslie Lord, young men socially prominent in north New Jersey, were shot down and probably fatally wounded to-day by a negro in the smoking car of a New Jersey Central train, in which they were riding to their homes in Newark. Accumpanj mg nigoee ana L?ora were Gale Young, of New York, and his cousin, Roger Young, of Newark. The negro, accompanied by another | man of his race and a mulatto wo-! man. accused the four young college men of making remarks about the woman. Lord was about to reply but Higbee told him to keep quiet. "Don't you tell me to keep quiet." yelled the negro as he leaped to his feet and drew a revolver. I'll quiet you." and he opened lire on the four men. Lord and Higbee were wounded and then Gale and Roger Young leaped at the negro. Gale Young went down from a blow on the head, but Roger held on to the man. who had emptied his pistol and who was so powerful that he dragged Roger Young with him to the platform. Young held on, however, and when the negro leaped from the train, while it was making SO miles an hour, Young went with him. Striking the < embankment. Young's grip on the negro was broken and the deperado disappeared. His companions also got away. The wounded men were taken to a hospital in Jersey City, where it was said they would probably die. ramt vahii* ***** ww mmam mv? wi hurt. Church Should Cooperate. Whether working for or against the ideals of the church, government is the most important element with which the church must reckon, declares William H. Allen, Director Bureau of Municipal Research, in The Delineator for March. Write a list of the things the community needs, and see how many of them are being neglected by church, philanthropy or government; how many of thedi ought to be attended to by government. How much of such needs hare you learned from your health and school authorities? ^ . Every church ought to keep a list of "opportunities to give without injuring." A good title for this record would be: "What our town (county, city) needs most" Unless you have questioned churches, you will be astonished at the few things worth doing that they are prepared to suggest This is not unnatural. Until n church looks outside Itself to government it will not be in the way of learning of town needs, or in an attitude to prefer a town benefit to a gift for itself. ' When churches keep a record of community needs, their own institutions will be used to supplement government's activity, where now they often either play the part of a fractional substitute or actually postpone the assumption of its responsibilities. When a church looks to see whether all cases of any kind of distress are being adequately cared for by somebody or by all bodies, it will cease to miseducate givers or misuse gifts.
