Sheriff Creech took to Columbia from Barnwell Saturday two negroes who are supposed to know sbmething about the recent lynching of two ne groes in Barnwell county. They were both lodged in the penitentiary for i*afe keeping until further develop ments. Mrs. V. B. Roberson, of Waterloo, received a telegram Wednesday stat ing that her son, Mr. Henry Roberson, had just died suddenly in Arkansas. Mr. Roberson was a popular young man of Waterloo, having lived there most of his life. He belonged to one of the best families in that section of the State. ' Governor Heyward had a conversa tion with Mayor Mahon, of Greenville, Saturday over the long distance phone with regard to the seizure in Green ville Friday of the whiskey found in the rooms of the “Smokers’ Club.’’ Chief Constable Hannmf.t went up to Greenville Saturday to investigate tho matter. At Liberty Saturday morning a ne gro named Copeland made an attempt to assault Mrs. T. T. James but the woman screamed and the brute ran off without doing her an injury. He was followed by a posse and it was reported Saturday afternoon that he was surrounded in a swamp. The af fair occurred about 11 o’clock Satur day morning. “In the Christmas” at Cheater a few nights ago two booze-laden colored viragos attacked and assaulted a man of their own color, “struck, bruised and wounded him,” as the solicitor’s Indictment would say, pro ducing thereby a fracture of the skull, from which he was unconscious for 12 hours or more. The prospect is now that the fellow will pull through. The condition of the colored man, Mert Young, who was shot by Sam Adams at Spartanburg Weduesday night, and about which shooting there as a mystery, is still alive but the doc tors are unable to say whether he will recover. To the surprise of the offi cers who had been hunting him foV two days past, Adams surrendered Friday night. He says the shooting was an accident. News reached Columbia Saturday night of the killing of Hampton Hart ley at aummitt, in Lexigton county, that afternoon by his father-in-law, Samuel Stockman. Summitt Is about 12 miles from Lexington court house and Stockman drove the distance Im mediately after the tragedy and sur rendered himself to Sheriff P. H. Cor ley Saturday night. He is now In jail. It seems that the cause of the trouble between the two men was a family affair. The dead man was about 30 years of age and his slayer about 55. John Boyd, a young white man from the Maddens section of Laurens coun ty, was seriously shot by Walter Thompson, son of Judge Thompson, Saturday night about 8 o’clock. The shooting took place at Thompson’s store, a small establishment on the outskirts of town. The two men had become involved in a quarrel and ex changed shots and Boyd had gone in- aide the store to load his gun when upon reappearing outside, he was fired upon by Thompson. The ball en tered the neck and lodged somewhere around the collar bone. The doctors have not been able to locate it. Boyd is seriously shot. Thompson escaped after the shooting and has not yet ^ven himself up. Promise of Reformation. Grover, N. C.. Dec. 23.—Kingfisher is doubtless a lawyer who always puts everything in tho worst or best light possible, regardless of the true facts ir the case. Now as to that suspension of judgment referred to. There was such a case. Tho partv came to the leading men of this section with a petition prepared by his coun sel and tears in his eyes, he begged and plead with the people to heln him. Pledging himself never to violate the law again he asked them to give him •ne chnnco to reform and make a man of himself. We agreed to sign his petition on condition that if we at aay time after had reasons to believe he was violating the law. we would •o inform the judire end ask tha* the sentence be enforced. Now if the judge is as willing and ready to hear •s now as then, there will soon be something doing. The best of men are forded some time, but it is the fool who gets caught by the same trap twice. It now looks like a scheme cut and dried to get a client •ut of trouble and then point the inger of scorn and contemp* at. the people ’.’ho helped him and his client ••t of trouble under n sacred pledge to reform. If the above surmise is correct, oh. where do suck men and Mt* belong? As to the “good citizen” referred ♦o as a witness. Tkis seems to be in tended for the writer. If so, I wjll ear if my name has ever appeared as a witness on any warrant in a whis ker case in the last century or so, I was never notified of the fact. I could ■ot swear to any violations of the whiskey laws for the last twenty-five •r thirty years. So 1 would be useless urn a witness In such ease. So mote It be. D. GAFFNEY, 8.’ TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1906. •t.00 A WORK OF THE CRUSADERS. Much Interest Being Manifested in Their Meetings. The undenominational meetings, conducted by the Christian Crusaders, are still in progress in the court house, and Jesus, the Star of Bethle hem, the wonderworking Savior, the Prince of Peace, who was willing to leave His exalted position in glory, over nineteen hundred years ago, and to come into this world in the weakness of an infant to become the Savior of mankind, is condescending to smile upon the efforts put forth for souls, and to lead all who will be led into the place where they can have a personal acquaintance with the Christ-child. Week before last, regardless of opposing elements, a meeting was conducted every night, and it is worthy of note, that, on the exceeding ly stormy night two persons sought the Lord, both of whom gave very satis factory evidences of conversion. The soul record shows, that, up to this time fifty-one have sought the Lord, forty-four of which number have professed to have found Him. There are but few young people amonsr the converts and the ages of the older persons range from twenty-six to seventy-eight, including those of flfty : one. fifty-three, fifty-six, sixty-two, and seventy-eight years of age. It has been rather difficult for some of these aged ones to eef. into the light, and one man of sixty-two had been so des- oerately in earnest for salvation that he came to the altar three nights in succession. After one who has Tossed the fifty-sixth milestone of his life had been brought into the favor of God. he was so filled to overflowinsr with God’s Snirlt that he embraced one of his friends in his new found joy. Jesus Christ while he was here In bodily presence did a great deal of his work in the open air, and the Crusaders were also privileged to lift. Him up in the onen air on two after noons during the holidays. A large crowd of people gathered about the ring, esnecially during the meeting of Saturday afternoon, and the majority of those present listened most atten tively to the old. old story of Jesus and His love. Their minds were call ed from earthlv things to things above, and It is to he hoped that many may be in the eternal kingdom of glorv as a result of this attack upon the enemy. The meetings of Christmas Sunday were largely attended. In the after noon service the young converts were quite free and took part In the open testimony or covenant meeting In a very commendable manner. Some, with tears welling up from their hearts and forcing themselves down their cheeks, stated that this would be the only really happy Christmas they had ever spent, and one man said that this would 5)e the first Christmas for years that ne had not desired liquor and be&n under the Influence of It. Mr. S. W. Garrison, a prominent and influential farmer of York county, and the father of one of the Crusad ers, was present and gave In a living teetimony to God’s savlhg and keep ing power, and addressed the people in a very edifying manner. In the afternoon service General Light preached on the unfathomable love of God to man. and the willing obedience of every man In whose heart the love of God is shed abroad, basing his remarks upon 1 John 3:1-9 He said in part. “It Is Impossible for the finite mind of the human creature to have more than a faint conception of the love which constrained God^the Almighty Jehovah, who upholds, roverns, and controls the whole sys tem of the universe, to sacrfice his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, as a ranson to redeem from eternal bond age his fallen rrea'.ures, who h%d wil lingly disobeyed and forsaken him and had become bond slaves to the devil and sin. God’s love is so power ful that every man in whose heart it is shed abroad ‘nurifietb himself even as he is pure,’ i. e.. he purifies himself of every habit, nractiee. and self-gratification in which Jesus I r ’hrist would not indulge h’rrself were he here upon earth in the flesh, in the present day. and that he will not ff-m nit. sin. i. e., he will not willingly, j intentionally, and consciously do that which ho knows is wrong in the sight of God." The truth of Gen. Light’s! utterance;! was carried home to the hearts of manv of his hearers. In the Sunday night service a prac-l tical gospel talk on the Incarnation of Jesus Christ was given, and one pre cious soul found Him as a personal Savior.
