Local police officers, the deputy sheriff and the efficient hounds of county had an exciting chase Frh •afternoon. A negro. Duly Whanks, was accused of entering a house in Jones- ville. Union county, and fled to Chero kee county with Constable Blackwood in pursuit. Deputy Sheriff W. Charles Durham was acquainted with the facts and went up to Granard street search ing for him. He was located in the “Big A" restaurant but ran awav whop he saw the officer. Several wire doors which interferred with his flight were carried with him. Then the chase began with Mr. Durham and the negro as principals. Across country they went at a rapid clip, hut no capture was effected. Mr. Durham then returned to the city and secured the hounds and contimied the chase with them. The trail was followed succcssfullv until the negro entered a stream, where it was lost. As yet no capture lias been made. some in a had i Two Stills Captured in King’s Moun tain Township. Rock Hill, Sept. 14.—Constable Jen kins made another very successful nid in the Dark Corner of King’s Mountain township last Monday night It will !>e remembered that only about two weeks ago he captured a block%le distillery, assisted bv Constable Hoy and others, complete v w ith the excep tion of the “cap,” the most important and valuable part of the on)fit to the moonshiners since it is the most dif ficult part to make or procure. This outfit was located al^out three miles north of Bethany church. Monday night Mr. Jenkins assisted t,y Const ah’es Hoy of this citv and \Vright of Chester and D puty Sheriff Quinn, captured a 70-gallon copper still, warm, cap and everything com plete, about six or eight miles west of Bethany church and at the same place that Mr. Jenkins on a raid months ago, found a roaring fir furnace from which a large sti been hastily carried away. It was on a branch in a deep hollow and they were making their way tnrough tlie dense undergrowth as quietly as possible, hoping to take the moonshiners on a surprise if they hap pened to he around and arrest them. Two of ttie mountaineers were there and evidently were asleep, for as the officers approached the still and, were only a short distance away, everything was quiet until a dog began to growl and hark. The officers continued to advance and the two men suddenly hounded off through the woods, fol lowed by the dog that had given the warning. Their forms were hgrdly visible in the dim moonlight, hut the officers fell in behind them, firing a volley of 15 or 20 shots. The fleeing moonshiners were soon out of hear ing, however, and the officers, know-, ing it was useless to search for them, gave up the chase and turned their attention to the outfit. The still was full of beer and ready for business. The beer was poured out and the com" plete outfit was brought to Rock Hill and will he shipped to Columbia Nine large fermenters, containing in the neighborhood of 2,000 gallons of beer, were destroyed. This is the heaviest blow Constable Jenkins has •ver given the hlockaders. GUS CARTEE HELD FOR TRIAL. FELL FROM A WINDOW. Mr. W. F. Clinkscales Suffers Serious At Honea Path. Anderson, Sept. 14.—About mid night last night, Mr. \V. P. Clinkscales, a well known and highly respected cit izen of Honea Path, fell from the win dow of his room on the second floor of the home of his brother-in-law. Mr. C. E. Harper, at Honea Path. The in juries he sustained will probablv prove fatal. His back was broken and he was otherwise badly hrok«-’ up. Mr. Clink-scales is well known here. ID is a son of the late Capt. William Clinkscales, of this county. His fa ther died when he was a small child and Gov. J. L. Orr took charge of Mr. Clinkscales when he was only a boy. Gov. Orr raised him.

Kirby in the sum of $r>00 for an assault of a high and aggravat d nature. The young man was charged with having attempted to criminally assault Mrs. J. W. John son at her home on North Chech street on the night of September 20. The preliminary hearing was be d ’hr- noruing before Magistrate Kirby umier a warrant issued by him the lorning after the alleged assault, up on the request of Mr. J. \V. Johnson, the husband. The court room was crowded today with spectators, there ' o'ng much interest manifested in the ert-e. Them were but two witnesses. The prosecution put on the stand Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, who told of the oc currence. Johnson stated that on the eight in question he was in bed and Hut Cartee was on the porch talking id ins wife.

Mrs. Johnson stated that she was sitting on the porch with Car tee and that he caught her by the an kle; she told him to stop or she would call her husband, who would kill him. Cartee did not stop and a scuffle was started in which a chair was knocked over, the noise from which awoke Mr. Johnson. The defense offered no wit nesses and Magistrate Kirby, thinking that the evidence warranted the bind ing over of tin* man, fixed the amount at $500. which was furnished by Car- tee’s father. Cartee was released and will he tried at the next term of the criminal court. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKSNSViLl. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. TRAGEDY IN WILMINGTON.

One of the most painful features of the official reports in India mortality annually published is the chapter de voted to deaths caused by wil l beasts ’id . nakes. Nor, in spite of the nuMMin * taken, t’oes there appear to ie anv perceptible diminution in the number of victims. Thu- in tii, Madras Prosidency alone during 1905 the number of per sons killed by wild animals aggregat ed iffip, while the number of deaths due. or at all events officially attrib uted to the bite of snakes amounted to 1,89(1. The number of cattle which were killed by wild animals during the same period in the same part of the coinitn was 12,911, and those which suceumbe't *o snake bites aggregated 1,89:}. A comparison of these figures with statistics of previous years es- t ibllshes the easily accountable fact that more human beings than cattle are attacked by snakes. The government of the Madras Presidency has tuJe vored to combat the evil to some extent by having the rank undergrowth removed from 1.145 villages at a cost of 15,346 roupes. Bui the result was not pre cisely what was anticipated. The statistics show that in the villages cleared of undergrowth the total mor tality was muck higher than those which were left alone; for example, in South Oanara, m the 47o villages dea’* with, the snake bite mortality last year was fifty, while it was only twenty in the 229 villages where no undergrowth was removed It arouses energy, develops and stimulates nervous life, arouses the courage of youth.

Will insvillc, Sept. 14.—Miss Grace Whisonant. who has been teaching in Lancaster, returned to her school last, week. Miss Mary McCulloch, who has hern teaching at Linwood Female Col leg *, N. 0.. and Miss Fay Whisonant. who hits been attending that institu tion of learning, wil; return there next week and resume their duties. They have he n at home spending their summer vacation with their parents Hon. and Mrs. C. NY. Whiso- nant, of Wilkinsville. We have a good many chills in this community in different places along the creeks. Chill tonic is a popular remedy. Mr. Rufus Est *s, one of our neigh bors, says the crows have picked the seed out of his cotton and left the lint on the ground. This is something new under the sun. A letter received from Mr. W. G. Fowler says he has reached Hot Springs. Ark., hut he hasn’t acquaint ed himself with his surroundings suf ficiently to tell how he likes the place. We hope, however, he will be benefit ted by the trip. So. also, with regard to Mr. Thomas J. Patrick, of Grassy Pond, who is there for the same purpose. To hear an old gray haired man who claims to he a leader in society and public sentiment telling dirty, smutty tales to a crowd of eager listeners, is very shocking to the sensibilities of decent people, yet we have them who do so and think it popular with the masses. About Monday week, the 24th inst., the Wilkinsville ginnery will com mence operations. It will run as many days per week as are necessary to keep up with the custom. Mr. A. Frank Smith went to the Jef- teries graveyard on Gilkey creek on the Rrick House place last week and cleaned off the lot of the Smith fami- !•’ buried there. The road scraper came down the Howell’s ferry road this week as far a Mount Tabor colored church and put the road in good fix. Thank you. Supervisor Phillips. These morning are rather damp for cotton picking and fodder pulling, vet people are going ahead with their work along that line. Mr. R. A. Foster, of Hickory Grove, is building a barn for Mr. W. C. Kirby. The election last Tuesday passed off quietly so far as we know. Miss Jessie Estes is suffering with a sore arm f«om a rising which Dr. L. R. Black lanced last Tuesday. We note with much pleasure what the Yorkville Enquirer says about our young friend. Mr. Brian Bell. Brian is a promising young man and the lime is not far distant when he will occupy a position in the front rank* of journalism. NV’e regret to learn that diptheria is prevailing in certain sections of this county but as yet have heard of no fatalities. Thirty-three years ago (187:1) Uih most malignant type of that disease prevailed in this commu nity. It took it from twenty-four hours to seven days to do its work. It baffled Hit* best medical skill ob tainable. Sulphur blown through a quill un the affected parts was th” most potent remedy used at that time, hut it often failed to effect a cure or even give temporary relief. It is astonishing what methods will b resorted to to effect political ends, in Tuesday’s election we heard of one man saying that the Presbyterians were trying to run this government. Whether he referred to the State, county oi* local matters we don’t know. Perhaps it was one or maybe each of them- neither do we care. It’s narrow-mindedness to come to such conclusions. The charge is absolute- y groundless. The Presbyterians are not all of the good people in the world, neither do they claim it. for they are not. But they do claim to have part of them at least. The man who puts mere church affiliations above princi ple is a moral weakling. Everything else being equal it is excusable and might b< reasonably expected. Many Presbyterians (and Methodists, too) voted for Brunson, a prominent and influential member of the Baptist church who stood for prohibition, against Ansel, an elder in the Presby terian church, who stands for local dispensaries if the majority of the voters in a county want them. We heard one of the most prominent men in Cherokee county say he would vote against his own brother if he didn’t r present principals he thought were right. We regret to learn that Mr. G. Thomas Wood, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of this county, is lying very low at this time Gf he is not already doadL Mr. Wood was a Confederate soldier, a member of McKissick’s Cavalry during the war, and one of Cherokee county’s best citizens.

They come every thir teen years instead of fourteen years. They came in 1855, 1868. 1881 and 1894. The on! - month of which we have any record without a full moon was February. 1886, and some calculator says it will be nearly two million years before the same takes place again. J. L. S. ANDERSON NEGROES MAD. Going Insane as a Result of Their Religious Fervor. Anderson, Sept. 14.—As a result of a protracted negro meeting near Pied mont, in this county, there is at pres ent one dead negro in this city, and three negroes are lodged in jail. Dr. Tripp, a well-known physician, is se- rlouslv injured but wilt recover from his injuries. The cause of the trouble was the re ligious fervor of the negroes. For several weeks meetings have been go ing on in this section and several of the negroes have become crazed. Two of the men in jail here will be exam ined as to their sanity and there is but little doubt that they will be sent to the asylum. The negroes for several days have been in a crazed condition and have been imagining that they w*>re idol breakers. They have de stroyed In their homes much valuable property, such as pictures, clocks and musloal instruments. The dead ne gro Bill Anderson, is a man of im portance among his race and is said to be worth several thousand dollars. Several days ago the negroes rocked Mr. and Mrs. Jas. I>ong. and a party was made up to place the negroes un der arrest. The result was a pistol battle with the above result. Mr. Long was also slightly injured. NEW STATION GOOD FOR SOUTH- With Charleston as a Port. Servant Problem May be Solved. Charleston. S pt. 11.—The coming of an immignnt shin of the North German Lloyd steamer line to Char leston is looked upon as a very im portant experlihent In local business circles. Leading men express the opinion that this will make for better ocean rates and facilities to and fro® ChtriestoB No difficulty will be ex perienced in securing good return car goes for the steamers. For years ( harleston s imports have been streqt- lv in excess of thus" of other South Atlantic seaports, and it will be a chief effort to augment exports ma terially, thus building tin the already rapidly increasing business of thte community. The immigrants, mostlv Germans, of course, will be distributed over South Carotin i and Georgia going to p aces of colonization which have been determined upon. The immi grants. it is expected, for the most part, will become farmers, though some are certain to enter domestic service, as is the case in the North East and West. The coming of the first ship is aa experiment, but it is the concensus of opinion that it will be a highly suc cessful venture. Commissioner Wat son and Manager Jack-sou, of the Charleston bureau of freight and transportation, believe Charlestba wil) become a regular port of call by the North Lloyd steamers, and to this end they are bending their energies. On account of the growing servant question here and elsewhere in th> section, many are hoping that irauii grant domestics will he brought, mak in ,r better the situation. Negroes are not satisfactory these days, and housewives frequently find themselves without help. , General Committee of 400.

Never Knew His Slayer. “Abe” Trott well k-nown charac ter of Peak e Island. Me., was on his way to the woods to cut down soaic trees, and a small terrier dog fol lowed at his heels, according to the Boston Herald. They espied a woo4 chuck, to which the dog gave chase and drove him into a stone wall, where action commenced at once. “Abe’s” sympathies being with the dog he decided to take a hand and heln him. So, putting himse’f In no- sltlon with the ax above the dog he waited for the extraction of the chuck. Soon an opportunity offered and “Abe” struck, but at the same time the woodchuck gathered him self up and pulled the dog in far enough fro him to receive the blow, and the dog was killed.
