Mr James Henry Kice, Jr,was in town Thursday looking after the fish and game. He secured some members of the Audubon society ana set some people to work ar ,'all to thinking about the matter of the preservation L of o;dr tish and game. ' Messrs James and Fields are H having the lift)* acre tract of f lanJ purchased from Mr S T Godwin, of which mention was recently made, laid off into blocks and the blocks into lots. Mr T ?

Tne object is to cover the entire ft county with wardens who will J see that the law is obeyed. Rev Mr North, of the North , Carolina conlerence, preached for the Methodists Sunday. L W Gilland, Esq, was up from Kingstree Thursday on pro fessional business. The dynamiters, trappers, pot hunters, netters and violators of the fish and game laws gen ?rally j had better take warning now and stop before tiiey get into trouble and a heap of it. Some J will probably escape by" men of | the same class now and then getting on the juries ; but some will be convicted and these will j suffer. This ruthless and sense less destruction of our fish and i game has gone far enough in all conscience, and too far entirely, j Last Friday night some miscreant broke into the Camp Branch church and spent the night therein, lie broke the! knob of the front door trying to 1 to get in. Failing in this he J smashed one of the large color- j glasses o! a window and I rAvent inside, lie had a tire in, there and the remains of a torch , k/Diade of pieces splintered off lumber lying 011 the lloor, ' ^as found.

Sheriff Found Him in Georgia Turpentine Woods. Sheriff Graham went to Homerville, Ga, last week and returned with Ben Hanna, a fugitive from justice, who was wanted on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Over a year a^o Ben, who is an old offender and has "done a? u a i i r lime more man once oeiore, murderously assaulted another negro, Peter Martin, and nearl}killed him. Ben took "leg bail" and buried himself safely, as he vainly imagined, in the turpentine forest. But the strong arm of the law prevailed and now Ben is pretty securely in its; rlntrliHC His trial will probably take place at the ensuing term of court. Week End Kates.

Ford, with several , aliases, thief, burglar and safe ' , cracke^ who on February 19, ' 11905, made his sensational es- 1 1 cape from a moving train at 1 | Cades, in this county, while be- ' ! ing taken from New York to ! Charleston in charge of a United ! States marshal and his deputy, ( ; has at last been run to earth and is again a prisoner. The daring ; desperado was captured in Lon- 1 , don, England, after a three ' years' chase by secret service ! men, who have been on his trail : ever since he escaped, j De Ford was one of the most j reckless and desperate members 'of the gang of "yeggmen" that i operated in this State with headj quarters in Columbia for over a ' year, nine of whom have already j been convicted and sentenced to : terms of varying length. There ; ! are several postoflice robberies j in this State with which De Ford I is supposed to be connected, and besides there are State indictments against him both in South Carolina and in Massachusetts, jit is estimated that if convicted I of the various charges against him the cumulative terms of imj prisonment would be beyond an ordinary lifetime. In one rob bery that of the Enoree Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg De Ford's gang is said to have got about 810,000. The other burglaries committed byW3e Ford and his pals! would make a long chapter in the annals of crime. EAP = % CHEAP! | R LOADS $ VND (j ORSES S nuary II, 1908.5 s been on the tson.

O < ? . u anc x aiiiici ) c?.11ao vo ov * *v Donnell, and Philip Nelson, both :harged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, were given a preliminary bearing here Monday before Magistrate McDonald of Lane. Both the negroes were in the employ of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation and on Thursday, May 21, they got in a row over some "grub" and after some words drew their pistols and began perforating each other. The Georgetown train was on the track with a number of passengers on board and there were by-standers within range in imminent danger of stopping a stray bullet, who, by mere luck, escaped. The negroes really deserved punishment, but for some unaccountable reason the man who swore out the warrant a Mr Smith of Lane withdrew the warrant and they were released. Both participants were shot up in the melee, one getting three bullets and the other two, in various parts of their respective anatomies, but such cattle are hard to kill and they will doubtless soon be in shape to raise some morecain in the wild unfettered freedom of their lawless instincts. We understand that another warrant was issued for the two negroes and afterwards withdrawn. The negroes were represented by Messrs Lee & Askins, of the local bar, and R C Snipes, Esq., of Georgetown.

LEE 1 PASSES AWAY. ^ WAS COMIIANDER IN CHIEF OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND PRES. OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. * Vicksburg, Miss, May 20: Gen S. 0. Lee, commander-inchief of the United Confederate Veterans, oue of the last three surviug lieutenant generals of the Confederacy, died here to-day, .in the Vicksburg National Park, at the official residence of the park commission. . , ' -A At ttie time ot his aeatn, although not the ranking officer of the G'onfedracy, Gen Lee was commander in-chief of the Confederate Veterans. Lieut Gen A. P. Stewart of Chattanooga is ranking officer, but on account of his infirmities he has not taken an active part in the affairs of the organization for many /jj yi irs. ^ Gen Lee was one of the South Carolina Lees. He was born in that State in 1833. lie received au appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point and graduated at that institution, receiving his commission in the artillery. At the outbreak of the Civil war Gen Lee resigned his command in the United States army and entered the Confederacy. He was severely wounded in the battle of Antietam, when he was made a brigadier general and sent to Vickl- / fP burg. Gen Lee played a prominent part in the siege of Vicksburg and following tne fall of that city was taken prisoner. He was later exchanged and promoted to the rank of major general and ordered to the {Southwest. He was subsequently assigned to the army of Tennessee, with the rank of lieutenant general, aud served until the close of the war. Gen Lee devoted himself to the education of the Southern youth. He became president of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. On the death of Gen John B. Gordon he was unanimous]v chosen commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans and was always one of the most conspicious figures at the annual reunion. Just before his death he was making preparation for the Reunion, June 8, at Birmingham. Gen Lee held, under the United States Government, the oflice.. of commissioner of^-Hie \ lcksburg, ! National niiHfarv Park. ~ . T~V j Sparrow's chocolates ana ooni bons. Try a box. They are J fresh and tine, as we can perI sonally testify. See the People's Mercantile Go's show window. >* - . ]k m
