SlitKItt INIUIM HERE Buffkin Lives Near the State Line, Which Passes Between Pis Well and Doorsteps.?He Can Kasily Shift Prom One State to Another. It was a tale of defiance of the law that reached Sheriff J. A. Lewis last week. The constable under the magistrate in Green Sea, had a warrant which luul been sworn old against a negro by Van Coleman. L appears that this negro whose arrest the warrant required, lives on Hull'kin's place. The story w; s to the effect that when the constable aided by another man went to make the arrest under the warrant, /'ado Buffkin, on whose place fhe negro lives, took his AVinchestor rifle and took the negro away from the officer. The parties were advised that legal stops would Ik taken against Buffkin at the proper time and in the proper way. Buffkin, familiarly known as "Zudo" is sometimes'\tnown as Z. M. Buffkin. ! ' )? { Mine time it has hpen known that ho defied the law in sevornl miviiVnl lars. His Jand lies along" the state line between South Carolina and North Carolina. It is said on good authority that it is easy tor him to slip J'rom one slate into the other, for although his dwelling is on Ihe South Carolina si lo of the line, the State line runs between his well and the door steps of BufTkin'.s house. Lnsf week, after the affair over the negro?which was as disgraceful as ever happened in that or any tuher - com ni unity- - several w*a rra'n t s wo re sworn out for Buffkin, not only for resisiing an oliieer in tho discharge of his duties, but for violation of the dispensary law, and in other respects that were not at the time disclosed to the v-portoi for this paper. Buffkin. it appears,.-has often been in trouble with the law, hut as yyt none of his experiences in that line has taught him a sufTu irnf lesson. The charge of r -slating an officer in the discharge of his duty that will now he brought against him b> a common law often. ( and is regarded in the law as a grave crime. It. is b- i c red that he will b( h. > a ?;l: !* t account undor the warrant that will be s^yed on him in North Carolina, under a requisition, from the (lovernor, if that course becomes necessary by reason of hi.s going into that State when wanted on the charge. This is only one instance of one wrong that is almost daily committed in a rough section of this county lying adjacent to the Tabor sect'?h of Columbus county, N. C. It is o'no of the dark corners or spots of Horry County, and has often been said the only way to make it better is to make the punishment of these people lit the crimes they commit.
