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

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.
In reply to the protests against
the exorbitant cost of meat, the beef
trust, with headquarters In New
York, announced on Thursday a
schedule of prices two to six cents
higher than those which prevailed a
week ago.
Pork retailed at 28 and 30 cents a
pound, a rise of six cents. The trust
is supplying pork to retailers at 25
cents a pound. A delegation of retailers
called on Swift A Co. to pro
test. They said they couldn't handle
pork at the price quoted, as the customers
would not bay it. They were
told that they coold handle it or not,
as they chose, bat that was the price
they wonld hare to pay. Other meat
it up in proportion. Sren salt pork
has Jumped from 17 to 20 cents.

BAD NEGRO RUNS AMUCK.
Shoots Two Whit<> Men in a Smoking
Car.
New York. 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.

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.
