Mr Stephen O Byrd, Scranton's town marshal, came over ^ yesterday to bring Willie Har^ ris, alias "Hoggy" Harris here for safe-keeping pending the investigation of the serious ^ charge against him of driving . spikes into the "frog" of the railroad switch at Scranton ^ with a view to wrecking the d i, ~ . . ^ tram, un a warrant; sworn out il before Magistrate Wallace Har8 ris was committed to jail to await a preliminary hearing-. | The warrant alleges that the ^ deed was committed on Monday, March 6, which, it will be remembered, was just two days '* after the terrible wreck which occurred at the Kingstree rail^ road crossing, and which the * railroad detectives assert positively was caused b y train Ie wreckers. Mr Byrd, who has beenwork0 ing up the Scranton case, says D that Harris, the negro arrested, confessed his guilt in the pres11 ence of witnesses and also said that there -were others impliit cated in the plot, but would 68 give no names. He also hinted l" rather vaguely that the gang to 8' which he belongs is responsible 11 for the wreck at Kingstree on j Saturday, March 4. Harris, it seems, is a former employe of the A C L railroad, and while working on the wrecking train o 1 3 1 r? 3 1 naa several nngers crusneu oy a pile-driver. He demanded it $500 damages and *the railroad ? company paid him only $250. ^ The theory is that he and his pals took this method of "gete ting even''with the railroad for f refusing to comply with his demand. Q The outcome of this case will e be watched with interest and If Harris be guilty of the crime 0 alleged and the proof Ms forth( coming it is safe to predict that his sentence will be by no means a light one. 1* e The News at Salters. a Salters Depot, March 14:? t The Salters public school is now 8 being taught by Rev C W Hay, f of the Methodist church.

This should have beer Mr L A Moore instead of Mi McCants. Rev A E Cornish of Charles ton filled the appointment of Dr Robt Wilson at the . Episco pal chapel last Sunday morning.

If [ desired to pfe the preparation 4 pleasant perfu?^ ihis may be ob' tained by adding a small quantitypf 1 oil of roeee at tiie same one. The ' whole compound should then be mixed thoroughly, cither by shaking it up well or stirring with m spoon, after which it is ready for use.

As f role, unless the cracks in the ekbs 1 are very much inflamed, an ajpplte\ tion of the compound jmt before attiring at night and another in the morning will generally have the de^ sired result of healing them. It is also a good preventive, and few will i be troubled with chapped hands who rub it " on the skin m the morning after washing. Cleaning Colarad Fabrioa. The following recipe is highly recommended for its efficacy in 1 cleansing fabrics without injuring , the texfcpe or "starting" the color, however delicate: Grate two poiatoes of ordinary size into a howl containing one pint of dean, oold water. Strain carefully through a sicre, aUowing the H^md to fdllnto another vessel containing an additional pint of cold water. Let it settle, and then pour off the water and bottle it for use. It may be put into a clean fruit jar. Boh the soiled garment softly with a sponge dipped in the potato water, after which wash it in clean water. Jhr, ' carefully in the shade and then iron it. Use the sediment left after pour* ing off the water for cleaning heavy clothes, ruga and carpets. Qood ClMMing Fluid.
