Mr. Thames, made his .escape the .past week.. He had been on the force be? fore and had been a trusty, and when this privilege was granted him again, it was too much temptation for him. and he yielded, taking the hounds with him. It was feared that he had dispatched the dogs, but they were found, but too late to be used in trac? ing him.-Manning Farmer. The Clarendon officers followed Lewis' trail to within a few miles of this city, but then lost it and had to abandon the pursuit.

A L Spfcfford, Chester, M ?cb.- J S Hueh?on & Co The location of the cotton platform for the public weighers is still an un settled question and the board of Coun? ty Commissioners and the members of the Legislature are "a-wrasling" with it. On Saturday afternoon a severe wind storm passed across the country about three miles East of this city doing a great deal of damage to the young crops. Mr. Willie Shaw and others.in that neighborhood suffered most se? verely. A lady wants to know why some stores close at 6 o*clock, sharp, and refuse to sell goods to regular custo? mers who arrive just as the clerks are leaving the store, while other stores keep the front doors half open for a half hour or longer after 6 o'clock and sell goods to all who come. We don't know why some people keep open after Bp. m : the others close be? cause it is an -unwritten law of the community and because they pledged their word to do so. Some people have no regard for their word and others don't care a continental cent or any other old thing about the wishes of the best people of the community just so they can take in a stray nickle or two on the sly.
