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.

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.
