With c telephone lines extending to many t farms and rural routes all through 1 the country, there is no reason for p farmers to come to town to do u. " I shopping, but they will send orders a over the 'phone and the parcels post t will deliver the goods at their doors p s It looks like it would be a good ^ idea for city council to refuse a li- t cense to newspaper agents who solicit c subscriptions from the negroes, giv- t ing them some sort of a farm paper for three years and a premium of q some sort, all for $1.00. These pa- f pers are attempting to build up a E big rural circulation in order to h charge big prices for advertising of v mail order houses when the parcels 0 post goes into effect, and they would c send the paper free if they were not s forbidden by the government to do b ? South Carolina representatives in congress and the senate will be of much importance when the Demo- r cratic administration takes charge next spring. This comes of our t State wisely not changing congress- c men every few7 years, and sustains 11 what we have always contended, 1 that a State always loses when it c changes representatives in Washing- ^ ton, provided, of course, that there is no real reason for displacing them. 11 If all of South Carolina's delegation t were practically new men, the State k - d would suner Dy 11, especiauy uuuer a Democratic administration. South 11 Carolina men will have the best po- p sitions in the house and senate next year. * ^ 7 ? tThe proposal to issue bonds for h one million dollars to improve the t< facilities at the State hospital for the insane was defeated in the recent election. While a small majority of e the Voters cast their ballots in favor of the bonds, the resolution calling for the election provided that there must be a vote of three-fourths in or- | / ders to issue the bonds. Therefore, there will be no bond issue, and very properly so. However, the legislature appointed a commission which has bought a lot of land and commenced the erection of buildings, something that was entirely out of place. They should have let the taxpayers vote on the bond issue before they commenced work. As it is now, the work ought to be stopped unless the taxpayers authorize further expenditures. The trouble with . South Carolina largely is that we have a bunch of legislators who know entirely too much. Editor Acquitted of Murder. ' /M ni T T n C/iareinore, e>Kia., i\ov. zi.?n. u. Jeffries, editor of the Nowata Advertiser, was acquitted yesterday of the charge of murdering Mrs. Irene Goheen, an advertising solicitor employed by him. The jury had been out since late Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Jeffries, who has managed the paper for her husband while he j was in jail, fainted and fell into Jef- j fries's arms when the verdict was 5 announced. Mrs. Goheen's body with the skull crushed was found in a pasture last j April. Jeffries was arrested on cir- ! circumstantial evidence. He attribu- V ted his prosecution to political ene/ mies. f BOLI) HOLD-UP IN FLORENCE. Farmer Robbed of $129 by The Negroes. Florence, Nov. 26.?Mr. J. C. M Lendon, a well-known farmer of tt county, was held up by three neg mffians at High Hill Creek Satu lay afternon and robbed of $129 ?old cash. Mr. McLendon, who lives on ai 'arms the T. C. Willoughby lane six miles south of this city, on t Evergreen road, left his home ear n the morning with a wagon lo; )f long staple cotton for Darlingtc Reaching that place he sold his c< :on and received the money in cas svhich he placed in his purse and :he breast pocket of his coat. Short ifter noon he started for his hor :hrough this city. As he was oassing along the ro; .eading to Florence from Darlingtc dv the side of the Coast Line tracl i most frequented thoroughfare f vehicles, he was held up in the Hij FLill Creek swamp, one mile east Palmetto, and robbed of his mone Mr. McLendon, as soon as he cou ?et away, hurried to this city ai -eported the matter to the sherif )ffice and a party was hurriedly ma IP, with Deputy Sheriff Cain jharge, and rushed to the scene in j lutomobile, but it was impossible capture the highwaymen, as they hi nore than two hours' jump on tl searchers. Mr. McLendon said that Saturd: norning when he passed along ] loticed three negroes sitting on tl ligh trestle at that place, each hpm bavin? a hievole. He thoue: ittle of it at the time. When he returned in the afterno< md, just as he crossed the fir >ridge, which is the Darlingt( ounty line, he saw three men con tut of the swamp between the tv >ridges on the Florence county sid They approached him with drav >istols and ordered him to hand ov< lis money. This he refused to ( .nd endeavored to bluff them off 1 hreatening to shoot them if they a ?roached further. He had nothing hoot with and soon saw he was ; he mercy of the highwaymen, and a er again being demanded to shut ?ut his coin he again refused. I his time one of the men had jumpt nto the wagon behind him ar uickly slapped Mr. McLendon in tl ace and placed his hand over h aouth; he ran the other hand ini lis pocket and secured the wall -rith $129. They then left him, secu d their bicycles and made their e ape. After leaving, Mr. McLendc aw them changing coats and hat ut did not know or recognize ar f them. He can do so should he s( ither of them again, he says. The party from Florence, aft< eaching the lonely place where tl eed was committed, followed tl rail of the bicycles and men for onsiderable distance towards Dar agton, but finally lost it entirely, i bey would walk awhile and the arry their wheels on their shou ers. It is thought that the negroes, se< ig Mr. McLendon pass along wit he cotton early in the morning, an nowing he would return that wa uring the day, followed him to Dar igton watched him sell the cottoi lace the money in his pocket, the umped on their wheels, returned 1 ligh Hill Creek and awaited his con ig, knowing they could overpow( im and escape without being d< ected.
