NEGRO WITNESS
Named Alonzo Andereon Was AI?
so Placed in Jail?Other De?
fendants Tried Soon
Another epiBode in the race rioting
last December at-Fair Play, when
three negroes were killed and several
severely beaten and otherwise injured,
was recorded yesterday morning,
when Sheriff John*Davis of Oconee
County, placed three white men of
that section under arrest and carried
them to Jail at Walhalla, making six
men who now face charges of mur
der as a result of this trouble.
The men placed under arrest yes
terday are Gub Jones,. Will Kay and
John McDonald. It is understood
that they have waived the right of
preliminary hearing and will Immedi
ately make efforts to procure .their
liberty oh bail. . The men were un
able to get bail last night and spent
the night in Oconee County Jail, It is
understood.
Material Witness,
At the 'same time Sheriff Davis ar
rested these three men he took Into
custody a negro man < nssed Alonzo
Anderson, who is wanted as a mater
ial witness in the cases Which have
been brought against these men. The
negro was placed in Jail at Walhalla,
where he will be held until the con
vening of court next Monday, when
these men will be placed on trial.
First Arreste*. ,
Several days after the riot at Fair
Play Sheriff Davis placed three men
under arrest, these .being, William C.
McClure, Calvin C. Kay and Woodrow
Campbeil. These men were present
ed by a coroner's Jury for murder, it
being alleged that they caused the
death of a negro named Green Gib
son, on December 20.
On January 11 Die men were given
a preliminary hearing before a mag
istrate at Walhalla,.and remanded to
Jail. A few days after that they were
admitted 'to ball in the sum tot $5,000
each.
McDonald Wounded. . ,.
It will! be recalled that John Mc
Donald was wounded in the eye dur
ing the riot. Ho made several trips
to Anderson to receive treatment at
the hands of a specialist. '
The name of Will. Kay,,.was .alBo
mentioned in connection with the
trouble, but why he and McDonald
were not taken into custody at the
time theiother men wore arrested is
not knovAx^ ?|$^fj^ ' 1? %?
McClure, Calvin Kay and CatopbeU
will probably be .placed on trial at
the term of court of general sessions
which convenes at Walhalla next

Mc
Rev. O. Tu Martin filled- his usual
appointment Saturday a. m., and Sun- I
any n m Prnnrhed two able sermons I
as he always does.
We were disappointed In the con
gregation for we thought there had
been so many Sundays this winter
that the people could not assemble
together at the house of God, that the
whole church would be there; but
the congregation was small. I think
we are tried In many ways to see if |
our faith is strong. God in his mys
terious ways will keep ub from I
church, then give us an opportunity |
to see if we will go, then if we fail
to go, I believe many times he sends J
things on ub so we "can't go. I would
like to hear someone else speak on
that subject. ,
Mr. B. L. Mitchell and wife worship,
ped with us Sunday. It looked good to
see them again. He has been our
leader in music for many years, but
lias moved to Anderson, and we miss
him and hlB family very much. We
appreciated him very much Indeed. He
has done a good work at Hopewell and
has been v.ery faithful, and we hope]
he will take up work In his new home '
and work as faithful as he did for ub.
Christ says, 'Vile that ia faihtful in [
a few thins f will make thee ruler
over many."
Mr. Jas. White, who has been sick
many weeks with side plurlsy. Is im
proving very slowly, is able, to Bit
on the porch In the sunshine in good
weather. We miss him at .church very
much indeed. His plac? waa never
vacant only when sickness of the fam.
ily kept him away. He has been a
faithful deacon and Sunday school
teacher for many years, and when
we are UBed to seeing one present all
the time, evea if they take no active
part, their absence makes a great va
cancy, but such men aa Mr. White,
their places can't be filled. If we
had more such men the world would
be much better. I never heard Mr.
White pray without asking God's
blesBlng on the sick. He was always
thoughtful of them and prayed for
them.
Mrs. Stringer has also been sick
for several weeks or months rather,
but is some better. ( We hope she .will
get able f to worship with ub again,
even if flhe is in the eighties. She is
a faithful mother of Israel. A sweeter
Christian character we have never
known, .'even after she has suffered
these many weeks, not a murmur did
we hear from her lips about it, but
h?r faco shone with angelic bright
ness, ii is sweet to see that in afflic
tion. , ].
Mr. Jno. Thompson, who has been
sick so long and was operated oh in
Augusta, for -gastric ulcer, has never j
regained himself from the operation
yet. The Operation relieved the in-1
digestion; He can eat as he has not j
been able to do In many years, butj
don't improve much.
Mr, and_Mrs. . Jno. McDaniel^has aj
new corner at their home In the shape
of a boy. We always h?ve, and al
ways will need boys, for.what would)
home, school, Sunday school, play,
fun, frolic; switches,. strings,.rocks,j
slings, dogs, calves and everything do
without boys. Our future depends on
th? .boys.% We want more boys and
better bo>\3?of course, girls too.
Mr. S. C. Fowler has moved in his
new house, though not quite complet
ed.- He has a'nice seven room cot
tage.
. We have a new R. F. D. carrier on
route l now*, Mr. G il Hard. Mr. Coker, ]
our former carrier has some incurable
trouble of the blood vessels of the j
throat and resigned We hope,, our

we hope to. like him, but Its a hard

and give .her time to .music. She has
purchased her a new piano and will
begin taking at once. We are ?lad so
many people, are waking up to the
labt .that musicians can be made as
well as born. Fifty years ago most
people thought it a child didn't have
a talent for music, it was useless to
try to teach them music. People
have changed their minds now, for
children have learned to play Well;
also sing well by training, and I think
it la the duty 0f all parents to do their
duty as far as they are.able to^gtve
child a musical education. Many
times we find a hidden talent that
d e vol op a, when if they* had not been
educated In music they would have
never known they had any music ia
them: What is there that lo more

THIEVES EXECUTED
VERY CLEVER TRICK
ONE ROBBED PLACE WHILE
THE OTHER CALLED PRO
PRIETOR TO PHONE
JUNK MAN VICTIM
Summoned to Distant Telephone
and Returned to Find Office
Rifled
Whereas thieves operating in the
city recently have heen bold, they
have no* resorted to strategy; and a
splendid illustration of their expert
ne3B in this latter quality wa3 fur
nished yesterday about noon when
Sam Dlshner. who operates a Junk
Bhop on North Main Btreet, was re
lieved of a quantity of brass, copper,
etc.. which he claims was worth $35.
The method the thief or thieves?
for the Job was undoubtedly the work
of at least two persons?employed Is
one of the BhrewdCBt that has been
used about here in quite a while, the
police assert. And yet the plan is so
simple, they say', that almost anyone
would fall for it.
Going back to the beginning, Sam
DiBbner notified the police about noon
yesterday tbat his place of business
had been entered while he was out
of tho otfice and a considerable quan
tity of brasfi, coppor and other Junk
Btolen. Officers responded to the call
and mode an inspection of Dishner'a
place, which is the old Stacy Oaborne
livery stable. Just across Manning
street from the oil mill.
Dlshner told the police that a ne
gro from the oil'mill came down to j
his place and told him that someone
wished to apeak to h<m over the tele-1
phone. Dishner worn. X> answer the
telephone, call and left his plate ot
business open. While he was gone
someone entered the place and made
atway with a considerable quantity
of stuff, which Dlshner d?clar?e was
worth $36.
The police believe that the t?l?
phon? call was a fake, for when Dlsh
ner got to the 'phone the party who
called him had gene. The officers
are of the opinion that the person
who called Dishner over the telephone
cooperated with a partner, the latter
entering the junk shop Just at the
time Dishner was called out to ans
wer the telephone.
As yet no arrests have'been made
in the case. The officers believe that
they know the guilty party or parUes,
and state that they will have some
one under arrest shortly.

.March 27 It Iv Stated.
Arrangements have been perfected
between the entertainment commit
tee of tho chamber of commerce, Gen
M. L. Bonham, chairman, and repre
sentatives of Clemson College and
Furman University baseball teams Tor
staging the annual baseball gat'c be
tween these college teams In Ander
son. It Is probable that the game will
be played on March 27.
Members of the committee were
not able to say whether the gahin
would be played at North Anderson
or at Buena Vista park, but this is u
matter which can be settled later. It
Is very likely that special rates will
be secured over all steam roads and
the interurban road entering Ander

of Clemson will bo brought here for
the game.
That arrangements have been made
for staging a game between the base

TO RIGIDLY ENFORCE
THE VAGRANCY LAWS
Council Believes This The Cauce of
Most Lawlessness.
Believing that vagrancy is a root
of lawlessness and that a strict en
forcement of the ordinance against
this evil will have bodio weight 'in
preventing a continuance of the wave
of crime which has gotten**- under way
in Anderson during the past few
days, city council, at the special bob
alon held Tuesday morning for the
purpose of authorizing a reward for
tbe apprehension of the slayer of
Thomas M. Dodd, adopted a resolu
tion Instructing Chief of Police Sum
mons and other membora of the de
partment to rigidly enforce the iaws
against vagrancy.
To offset excuses that 1 might
bo offered by . anyone to the
effect that he could not get
employment, council created prac
tically an unlimited number of
jobs, authorizing tho city engineer ta
commence nt once with the laying of
1.000 feet of additional sewer main on
SoUth Main street.
The now sower line is to begin, at
No I ris street and extend to tho city
limits. It is necessary for the sewer
to be laid before any street paving,
can be done anyway, so council
thought it wisu to have the work be
un qow. By laying this eower line
now employment will be afforded for
some 50 laborers. The work Is-to be
done by day. labor, under the super
vision of Street Overseer Gilmer and
at the direction of City Engineer
Excavation for tbe sewer-main will
begin as soon as tho city engineer can
make necessary surveys. The city
will pay the laborers tho usual wages,
not to exceed 85 cents per day. Per
sons desiring work may apply to
Street Overseer Gilmer.
The laying of this sewer lino will
cost something like 1450 or $500, and
will afford sewer connections for
many residences on South Main
street.
2 MOUNTED POLICE TO
PATROL CITY AT NIGHT
Determined to suppress lawless
ness In the city so far as lies within
their power, city council. In special
session yesterday morning for . the
purpose ol authorizing the offering
of a reward for the Blayer of Thomas
M. Dodd, Instructed Chief of Police
Sammons to place .two of his men on
horseback and have them patrol the
city from dusk to daylight, begin
ning last ntght.
The horse used by the chief and the
one used by tbe street everseer will
be used for the' night1 patrol duty.
.Private Drlskell, who has been serv
ing as call man for some time, will be
detailed for regular patrol duty. The
second patrol man will be selected
from night to night from the remain
ing members of the police force.
Council also authorized Chief Sam
mons to employ an extra policeman, to
be placed on duty at 1 o'clock Saturday
afternoon and remain on duty until
1 o'clock Sunday morning, every
week. This extra man will be de
tailed for duty in Ward *6. The or
der Will bo in force until revoked by
council.
The sldermen believe that by
mounting two of the policemen and
having them patrol tho city at night
oh horseback Will have some, effect in
reducing lawlessness, a wave ' of
wbich has been going on in; tho city
for ?io past few days.
