the claim he assumed that Jones had
not turned the money into his client
. /When Pearlstine showed Jones in the
postofflce lobby a notice concerning it
which he had received from othei
lawyers they became involved in- a
fist fight, which was stopped by the

H shot Pearlstine dead. Pearlstine was
unarmed. We do not know how this
kind of thing goes in Orangeburg

healthy for the defendant in such a

Mill Superintendent Short.
Si Spartanburg, Dec. 17.?Leaving a
shortage of two thousand dollars, J,
A. Crossby, superintendent in one
department of Beaumont mills, has
left this city and efforts to locate
1 him have proved futile.
' ; It seems that he has practiced systematic
graft for several years and
only some days ago he was suspected
Learning that his game was being
watched Crosby left the city and was
hot missed until next day when he
failed to show up at the mill. 11
seems that, he padded his pay roll
adding fictitious names and receiving
the pay himself. The matter of making
out the pay roll for his department
and disbursing it to the ems;:.
ployes was left to him. It is no1
known exactly how long this practice
has been going on or how muct
money has been taken but it is safe
to say that it amounts to two thousand
dollars.
, After the "Tigers."
Denmark, S. C., Dec. 16.?Charging
that the "blind tigers" in Denmark
are openly and flagrantly violating
the prohibition law, and thai
f the situation has reached a poinl
where it can't longer be overlooked
the women of the town began circu
latin e Detltions this morning, calling
on the town council to1 take som<
immediate steps to close up th(
"blind tigers" and enforce the law
The statement is made, however
that the disposition not to mor<
closely enforce the law here, is du<
to the fact that a nearby town is op
crating just as openly and, if ther<
was no sale in Denmark, the towi
would be flooded with Christma:
whiskey from the neighboring town

DESPERADO ARRESTED.
South Carolina Murderer Arrested at fi
- Barber's Junction.
Deputies Thompson and Kimball
several nights ago arrested Charlie I
Young, colored, who has been play- e
ing the part of a desperado among a
the colored people of the Southern n
part of the county and who is thought 1
to have committed murder in Ches- *
teffleld county, S. C. n
Young went to the homes of sev- 13
eral colored people in the vicinity of
Barber several months ago and by *
threats compelled them to board and 1
shelter him. He declared he had been c
the death of several people and would *
kill any one who told of his where- c
abouts or failed to give him what he G
asked for in the way of food and t
shelter. He kept the negroes terror- 15
ized for several months, but they 0
finally plucked up courage enough to c
tell Deputy Thompson, who resides E
in the Barber neighborhood, of the
desperate character in their midst
and he, together with Deputy Kimball
made the arrest several nights p
ago. i]
. Young was placed in jail and pho- a
tographs made which were sent to a n
number of South Carolina towns, to- a
gether with a full description of the h
desperado. " A
A telegram was received yester- v
day from the authorities of Chester- 1J

wanted there for "murder and that h
there was a reward vof $50 out for n

Young has a half dozen aliases and d
is evidently a very bad character. a
An officer from South Carolina will tl
doubtless come up for the despera- n

back to answer for his crime.?Salis- h
