The supreme court has passed upon their appeal, affirming the finding of the lower court. The crime of Byrd and Crisvrell was particularly bold and brutal. They slew the mag istrate when he held them tip on the road, as they were driving In a buggy loaded with whiskey. Mr. Cox was accompanied by a deputy and shot guns were used on both sides. As a mob was gathering to lynch the ne groes, the sheriff's deputies got in ahead of the crowd, discovered the negroes first and hustled them through to Columbia.

Childrens’ Day exercises w-ere held at the church on that day and the program was full of interest to the large congregation which wit nessed its rendition. Mr. Charlie Campbell is superintendent of the Sunday school, and under his super vision the children acquitted them selves handsomely, reflecting great credit upon their school and its efficient superintendent.

Brown has disappeared, and there is absolutely no trace of it anywhere. The money has now been paid to the State, and the story of its disappearance is one of the most peculiar heard by the dis pensary officials. It seems that Inspector Brown was sent to Charleston on btrsiness con nected with his duties, and while there checked up the books of Dispenser S. S. Matthews. He reported that he 1 found that there was an amount due the State of $1,600, and an order for the paymem. was at once made. Mat thews paid Brown in cash, and on Brown’s arrival in Columbia he re ported to Comissioner Tatum that the money has absolutely disappeared. Brown says that he was not intoxi cated, but that in some way he was robbed. Just bow he does not know. He does know that he received the money from Matthews and the latter has a receipt to show that the amount was paid. There was naturally a dis cussion as to how the money should be made up, and the law in that par- i ieular is very defective as to col lection on an inspector’s bond. Final ly however, the amount was raised for the commissioner, who insisted that the State should not lose. In spector Brown has been temporarily suspended and is now endeavoring to trace the money. Rev. Mr. Felmet highly prizes this Misses Wynnye Davenport and Jes sie Lipscomb left Frdiay for a two weeks stay at Shelby.
