BABIES KILLED AND
THEIR BODIES HIDDEN.
Morris ville, March 8: ? Things
around Morrisville begin to look
better. Business is brightening up,
| .
| * and some fertilizer seems to be movI)
injg.
Small grain crops are looking
% well and garden peas are fine.
Messrs F Rhem & Sons have ten
acres planted.
Messrs D D and F Rhem, Jr, went
to Charleston last Thursday on business.
Messrs Noah Burrows and ?Barnhill
have erected a nice grist mill at
Mr W J Brockmgton s.
, There stems to be right much stir
among the negroes; it was reported
last week to Magistrate J M Godwin
that Victoria Chandler,a negro girl of
the Black Mingo section, had given
birth to an infant, it had disappeared,
and the girl could not or would
not tell what had become of it. The
magistrate made an investigation
but could not do anything. Then
some one at Rhems placed the matter
in tbfc hands of Mr ? Stancill,
' who came here last Tuesday and after
some investigation found that he
4-k/% Aoan OA KQ
neeueu a uuciui iu uic twc, ??.
returned Thursday, accompanied by
Dr L B Johnson. The doctor's examination
disclosed the fact that the
report was true, which he stated to
the magistrate,and search was made
t for the child. Even after the doctor
declared everything to be true, the
? negro girl still denied it and no trace
? of the infant could be found until
\ Constables E Z Howard and Stancill
! started into the house -to handcuff
| .them and carry them to jail, but Dr
| Johnson stepped in a little ahead of
f the officers and asked them to wait a
minute and let him try again. He
* was not in there long before he came
: out arid Ellen Chandler with him to
show him the graye of the child.
But she took him to the back of
> the house,where she knew there was
i no grave,so while they were hunting {
? there Mr Godwin went quietly into
t the garden and found a spot that
$ looked like a grave. He then called
for a hoe and Ellen Chandler came .
with Dr Johnson and showed him
t where the grave was, in a corner of
p the garden. Then Prince Alston was
p told to dig and he dug up two ba
[ bies, a girl and a boy, both of whom
had been murdered. Their heads (
| were all beaten in as if with a stick.
E There was a little hole dug and the i
? babies putdown into the dirt,not even
jr being wrapped up. The magistrate
ft summoned a jury of inquest, whose
5 verdict was such that the two girls
were turned over to Constable E Z 1
6 Howard,who took them to jail to be
Etried at the term of the criminal 1
if?edurt next summer.
K* It seems that Victoria Chandler is '
Rfthe mother of the children,but Ellen
IjpChandler did the killing. The latter
Ehas attempted the like before, this '
E being her third attempt. Such a '
? ghastly happening on Old Mingo, <

The young people of Bryan had a I
very enjoyable evening last Satur- I
day. They met at the home of Mr '

in an old-time candy pulling.
There were several to whom this ]
was rather a novelty,whose pleasure
was thereby greatly enhanced. It is
thought that from now on,this form
of entertainment will be revived and 1
soon become as popular as it has :
hitherto been. . '

the roads are in, and have
been in since Christmas, it would re- '

A Warning to the South.
The threat of the Allies to shut

ipecial warning for the South.
Whatever comes of the present

;hat we may wake up almost any

European market. Farmers who
iave been encouraged to hope that

fall should take heed accordingly.

Shooting Affray at Sumter.

tilled by Bogan Trippit Saturday at
Sumter. The two men had been un"riendly
for several days previously,
ifter having been intimate friends
n the past. The exact cause of the
ihooting is a matter of conjecture,
though Trippit claims the plea of
lelf-defense.

"A revenue is collected amount
ing to about $12,000 a year, whici
more than pays for the expenses oj
administering the law,and the boarc
through its chairman and four in
spectors, located at Gehrgetown
J Charleston, Colleton county anc
Beaufort, enforce the laws that protect
and develop this valuable public
asset. The statute requires that
the chairman shall befrom the tide:
water section of the State and thai
the other two members shall be
from other sections of the State.
This provision was recommended bj
the Legislative commission of 1905
that formed this law, so that the
up-country might feel protected in
their interests. The commission re
ferred to was established because of
the former lack of enforcement of
protective measures and a consequent
feeling by the upper counties
that their interests were not- being
looked after."
Worries ol Kentucky Editor.
Of places to borrow, the printing
office here catches the brunt. Folks
seem to think that we have a workhouse
filled with every imaginable
tool or material that they could use,
and come here get it, says The Grayson
News. From one to a dozen
times a day some one will ask: "Have
you a hammer I could get just a
minute?" Then they ask for all the
other things in order. A boy came
in the other day and wanted to borrow
the office cat, and frequently
they ask to borrow the job printer
for a couple of hours. Then a fellow
comes in and wants to get a pole,
like he thought he was entering a
forest. Scrap paper, pieces of brass,
extra copies of the paper,exchanges,
are public property, it seems. "Have
you anything to read?" is another
query, and then we gat accused of
scattering waste paper about the
streets. No wonder a boy who en'
- !- -Ol? l._ 1

trade is called a devil. If he isn't
when he enters he will be when he
completes the trade.
