IipiD Away From Their Work on r-v ~ - imek Huilding at Aynor ? 0 WARRANTS ISSUED For the Two Young Men Who Made the Threats to Frighten the Hands Away,?First Brick Building at Aynor Almost Stopped by This Crime, ?Boys had Been Discharged by the Contractor Some Days Before II I* Little, the well known contractor and builder, has the contract for erecting the first brick" building at the now city of Aynor on the Conway, Coast & Western Railroad line. The building is being erected for Burroughs and Collins Co. Amoug tho contractor's force of hands wore two young men who came from Bucks township, Jessie Williams and D. Pierce Tt is stated that they did not work well and neglected their tasks, so that they were recontly turned otY. On Tuesday evening of last /veek, while Mr. Little war. away from the work, Williams and Pierce made serious threats against tho seven colored hands that wcic at work on the 4~n: i - ,i,y 11 uuuuiu^i toning i iii.in uiey could stay until the following morning when the contractor returned, and then to tret their pay and take the noon-day train away from the place. When the contractor trot there that morning, two of the hards had slipped away already. Two more of them left on the train that day, There were three who were induced to stay. On Wednesday warrants wore sworn out against the men who made these threats, and they were arrested under the papers, and they will be held accountable by tho authorties under the section of the law giving magistrates the right to arrest pooplo going about making threats and carrying arms to tho terror of the people. The people in and around Ay nor were very much insensed at this conduct on the part of the di'fendant-, The people of that section seem to want it to bo known that, they will not put up with such as this in tho least. The business men and others are prepared to protect iho workers on the building if need ed It is a new place with great possibilities. The work now going on in that community would be seriously hampered by such acts as> that aboyo reported, if allowed to go on. ?i wrnmm Third Quarterly Conference.

Mr. Betts and finding that he would enthusiastically support it, we were ready to undertake th? task, And wo should like to say in tVio beginning that i redit for most of the plans that have been formulated is due to him Having onee decided that tho cam paigu would be quite practical, . another question of considerate im- ( portanco came before us. Who 1 would be the principal spoakcr? i This was done tho less quickly and | agreeably solved^ and early in the , year we askeo Dr. ClinUscaies to | take that place. To speak approp- 1 ria'ely of him or h.s fitness for tho leadership of any tducational cause would necessitate too much space, houoe only a few words, lie has ^ taught in three of the colleges of | this State, Columbia, Clemson and I Wofford, and his teaching has been broau and thorogh. Tnis is due not entirely to ine knowledge of oooks thai teaches to students, but most cf all to the ' Man" behind the teaching, llts inlorest, too, are State wido, and ovefy }ttur hu trav els across our common wealth making speeches and trying to arouse interest in the cause of education, wit a such success and loyal devotion does he pursue this course, that very appropriately did a loading educator give him the well meaning title "'an apostle of oduoaeation to South Carolina" We dof not hesitate, therefore, in expressing our pride in bringing such a I man to the couuty on such a mission. There is?no institution that should appeal moro to our people now than the Horry Industrial School, lo is fortunate for all concoM.ed that its President, Dr. Watson will make the rounds with Dr Chnkscalos.

The town ordinance of the Town of Loris fixes the license foes of telograph companies at the sum of $5.00 for the year I91and provides that this must be paid bofore the 15th day of January, or severe penalties will bo indicted for doing "business without license. The Western Union Telegraph company having cilices at Loris has so far refused to pay this license feo, and a short time ago, an execution was issued by the town authorities against the company. The matter is now up between the attorneys for the telegraph company and the attorney for the town; and the papers are being .held to sec if sonic adjustment cannot he made of the matter. It, is likely that the company will still refuse to pay the licenso, as they want to try to got it reduced, but in that event tho town will endeavor to enforce the ordinance.
