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.

Chased by One of the Agents at A.
C. L. Depot Away From Huilding.
Tom Ramson, a colored man, was
employed at the railroad depot in
the freight rooms. Ho was not sup
posed or expected to be there on I
Sundays. Mr. Cox, 0110 of the
agents went down early la^t Sunday '
morning to attend to the ( tlico, In
the quietness of the moment, ho was
startled by the dropping of an iron
bolt behind him in the freight- department
or warehouse. Running
around there he was in time to see
Ransom running o!V. He chased
him and tho mau was arrested and
placed in jail and brought to trial
before W. II. Chestnut Esqr., last
Monday, on a charge of house break
lug. lie was convicted and sentenced
to serve thirty days on the
public works. l
The Educational Campaign.

J had no idea that such a thing would
bo carriedjout as thoroughly as it
is. But after consulting liov. 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.

markets any where within tHe State;
a market where the ''cry highest
prices obtainable may bo had without
doubt. In years gone by tobacco
was shipped in large hogsheads
away from Conway toother markets,
but perhaps there was then a reason
for the market then is not what it
certainly is to-day?thecqual of any.
That tho very highest prices are being
obtained on this market is plain
to any one looking over tho accounts
of sales at the three warehouses, and ,
it is also plain that tho farmers an

REFUSES TO PAY LICENSE
The Western Union at Loris has Kof
used to Pay the License Pees.
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.
