Five young white men went to the Sumter Cotton Mill last Wednesday night, and, waiting until the bands knocked oSf, attempted to force a 6ght oa seve? ral of the milk hands The men were armed with pistols and brass knucks and made threats of using ibero on the hinds.

They are oot employes of the mill and not living in the mill village bad no business on the premise.'. They went to tte mill with the evident par pose of provoking A difficulty, and if it bad not been for tbe ir fluenc* of Mr Singleton Brodford and Mr D. W.

Track Four bait? of rot'oo wera stolen l?t Than? da* night from a. box ear that wm left ateod ing on the A. C. L. track near tba junction with the Southern. The robbers broke open the door, removed the fonr bales and hauled it awaj in a ons-borse wagon, making two trips, it is believed. There are unmistakable signs that two balee were concealed nuder a shed adjoining the old People's lea Factory building wbi!e the otber two ware hauled^ Away There were probably fonr or more io the gang for tbe bales were carried from the car across the tracks to tba shed and there loaded OB tba wagon. Tbe wagon tracks have been followed op the street leading to the Cotton Mill to Cemetery Avenue and ont OD the evanne tome dutanee toward tba cemetery. Tbe search for the cotton is being proseeuiod and it is boped that the efforts to recover the cotton and capture tbe thieves will be socoess fal. The cotton was loaded In th? car ai tba A. C L platform ?.nd was plaeed on tho- side track near the junction for transfer by tbe Soutoarn to the compresa platform. 33? ra an unsettled question as to whieh road is respon? sible for the cot on. If the ear was placed at the junction et the proper time andi waa net carried to the compress platform by the negligence of the Southern's employes that road wilt have io af?ame responsibility for the loss of the cotton ; if the car was ron on the junctioo sidiog too lata to be trans? ferred the A. C L mun bear tn? toss. The cotton thieves were both bold and well posted and it is strang? that while tbay were at it they clid not take mora than foor bales from the cir, onleas tbay get started too late in the nigbi to get mora than fonr bales to a plaee of concealment before daylight.

List week thia liquor was boxed up and sent to the State dispensary. In the lot were ooe gallo a "f gio, one gallon rye whis? key, nine quarts and fifteen pints eora whis? key. Much o' this liquor came originally from the dispensary, bur the police foood it ia the bandi of parties who were doing a blind tiger business and seized it. This shipment of blind tiger liquor should serve to emphasize the fact that tbs police of Sumter are enforcing the dispensary law ie this city. BUNA WAY HORSES.
