: Four Negroes Steal Five Hales of Cotton,
Abandoning Two Bales.
Four negroes were arrested
recently charged with the theft of
five bales of-' cotton from Sara Shu- 1
ler, a colored woman of near Bow- <
man, Orangeburg" county early on
1 Tuesday morning of last week. The i
t negroes, Perry Stroman, Adam Stro- '<
man, Bennie Ginyard and Elliott J
5 Stevenson, have been placed in the ]
} Orangeburg jail to await trial. t
When the cotton theft was reported J
to Sheriff Dukes, of Orangeburg, he j
i and his officers immediately got bu- 1
' 1 - * - a i i. . n ^ ^ /
> sy anci an investigation iea 10 nam- ?
i befig negroes as the thieves. On trac- <
ing the tracks of the thieves on the J
l road to Bamberg, the officers discov- 1
[ ered two wagon wheels at the home (
. of Adam Stroman. The circumstan- J:
ces pointed to the fact that the ne- q
groes had loaded the five bales of 1
r cotton on a wagon and that the wag- J
on had broken down under the load. ?
, They had secured another part of j
. wagon to repair this damage and had i
abandoned two of the bales. Search f
of Adam Stroman's premises reveal- *
ed Adam hiding under his house. He j
' is said to have confessed to his part t
of the theft and to have implicated I
the other members of the gang. A *
visit was paid to the homes of each
of the negroes, and the last one was. g
' placed under arrest 'Monday.
When the negroes found that they j
could not haul the five bales to Bamberg,
they unloaded two bales and
! came on with the remaining three,
which were sold, it is said, to a Bam- c
berg cotton buyer for 18 cents a ,
, pound. The negroes at first denied j
the theft, but it is said that later all
of them admitted their guilt. z
CARLISLE MEETS 2XD DEFEAT. 1
t
. Charleston High \Yins Game Gener- \
ally Described as Rotten.
Charleston high school defeated ^
Carlisle school on the local field last
Friday afternoon 14 to 0. The feature
of the game was the forward
passing of the Charleston team. 1
Carlisle had the ball only 15 sec- J
onds in the first quarter and Charles- j
ton had the ball only 35 seconds in r
the third quarter. Carlisle put the c
ball on the six-inch line, but lost on J
downs. The punting of Weeks for ,
c
, Charleston was good. Carlisle ad,
vanced the ball to the four-yard line ,
) V C
and lost when forward passes fail- (
ed, the ball falling behind the goal *
line, giving Charleston a touchback.
The first touchdown was made in
the first three minutes of play. Char*
' leston received and carried -the ball
straight down the .Afield with end
* 1
runs and forward passes. The visi- ]
tors lost it on the one-foot line on
downs. Smith kicked poorly and
Charleston easily carried the ball
* over from the eighty-yard line, The (
' last touchdown came at the begin- (
7 ning of the fourth quarter, _whep :
1 Charleston received the ball on the <
t one-yard line, after a free fumble. (
5 The ball was easily carried over. ]
Both goals wrere kicked. j
There was much wrangling and a j
disposition to fight on both sides. (
