COTTON THIEVES. NttGROES AT LORIS. STOLE COT- ' i;ON. CAUGHT BY HOUNDS. ( v t Cotton was Taken from Gin at Loris and the Hounds Laid Crime at 1 Door of Hands who Worked at the Gin. ^ The value of blood hounds in the county is exemplified in a case oc- s curriug recently at Boris, where ' hands at the gin of J. C. Bryant Company took cotton and were trail- \ ed out by the hounds recently pur- ( chased by Supervisor W. K. Holt. K vide nee has been gathered upon winch the owners think they can * bind over two of the negroes, and ' next Monday has been fixed as a . time for the preliminary invesliga- ( tion. . Mr. P. M. Lee was in charge of ^ the gin which is run at Loris by J. C. ilryant Co.. and had no idea that I some one was filching cotton from 1 the building, until he happened one ( day about two weeks ago, to (ir.d two bags of cotton in a thicket near | ihe gin hou e. This he took back to , the gin, but later he found some | some more sucks i nilie swamp near by and decided to watch these sacks and as soon as they should be moved s to send for the bloood hounds of Mr. 1 Holt and track out the thief. In a I few lays the sacks had been moved, and Mr. Holt sent for. He was ac- 1 companied by () K. Hickman, E. f K Skipper and P M. Lee. The ? dogs took the scent about 9 o'clock on the morning after the cotton had iHii'ii moved and 111 a short time follofted the trail to the home of a no- ' ,-gro who had been working at the glu 1 'Two different tracks had been dis covered in the branch and the dogs t v.vere put upon the other track and * rsoon came to bay again at the hoi <> ; of another negro hand. On one d the trails the dogs found another lot of five suc*s of cotton hid away in 1 the thicket. The two negroes, Steven Bullock ' and Frank Cox, were given a preliminary hearing, but as sufficient . evidence had not been furnished the i magistrate continued the case until i next Monday when the hearing will bo resumed. Since the first hearing , Frank Cox has seen the prosecute and made an arrangement so he ^ can turn States' evidence and get out of it. (lis testimony lias not yet been taken, but it is believed it 1 will implicate nearly all the hands < 'that have been working at the gin. > "Steven Bullock, although he was tunder bond for his appearance at | the trial next Monday, has run away, and it is not expected that he , will appear at the hearing. In trailing out these negroes the dogs passed a place where a section < force had been at work some time, I and kept the trail through the mill 1 yard where many huuds had been < passing and re-passing all day, with- i out losing the trail. This ail shows 1 that the dogs have been well trained 1 and that it is worth something to the people to have them in the county where they can be used in case of emergency. J llisco* Editor Herald: ? Will yon please ( 'allow me space in your valuable paper for just a few words. I notice an article in last week 's 1 issue from Mr. 13. M. Stevens as present over seer on this section of ' the road. He states that he is will- ' ing for the Supervisor to conio and 1 inspect his work. As to the work 1 he lias done it is alright so far as I ( know, but he must have by some ' means, I do not know what, thought s that I was going back on his work. This is all together a mistake, I only , meant the work that had not been ( done. I As to the work on this road it has <. nui? ueuu uonu, neiuier in me proper ] way nor the necessary amount. This \ is too plain to be disputed, plainer t c tlian I can put it in words. , And again 4Kittio" did not spend \ all of his money when he paid his | road tax, neither is he growling about it, but he wishes that it could go as it should for the benefit of the road instead of some private party, and "Kittio" and his friends would . like to know that it could be lookod J after.

There seemed no lelp or respite from this lawless band jntil Mr. Joseph West, a justice of the place, came up and dispersed he men by authority of the law and eleased Mr. Cook. It is publicly believed by the >est men of the community that hese people were incited to this evil l?ed by the Lumber Company, bojauso tho general manager, Mr. IV f. Doyle, after unlawfully taking oosossion of the business ordered Jio men to go to work for him saying '1 will stand between you and all lunger." although the hands had ieen legally forbidden by the contactor in Doyle's presence to, itrike a lick except by his directions elling them ho could not settle lawfully until the matter was adjusted. Surely every oue of the men in .he mob is subject to a penalty by ,he law. Evil is the day when the people if a land are allowed to tako tho aw in their own hands and infringe Llie right that should be as a wall of protection from its citizens. Will the good people and the men intrusted with authority and the safe keeping of the State, allow this ivil deed to go unrequited, allowing its name to trail in the dust and giving sanction to a blot on its fair name to be immortalized on the page of history?
