CONFESSED HIS GUILT.
NegffQ Boy Stole $13.40 Thou Showed
MOOT Where It Was Hid.
Friday morning, about four o'cock
when the driver for the New York
liakery was about to start out on his
rounds, he missed the box which he
carries with him. and which contain?
ed a number of bread tickets, a bank
book, and a sack containing $13.40
in money.
The loss was at once reported to
Bergt McKagen, of the police force,
and the officer immediately went in
search of Thomas James, a negro
boy in the employ of the bakery.
When asked if he knew anything
about the disappearance of the box,
the boy was emphatic in denying any
knowledge whatever of it.
Later on in the day Sergt. McKag?
en learned that the negro had pur?
chased a pair of fine shoes, and so
found the boy a second time and ask?
ed him again if he knew anything of
the box.
The boy again denied any knowl?
edge of it and said that his brother
had purchased the shoes for him.
His brother denied this, however,
and Mr. McKagen told James that he
had better confess to taking the
money, if he had done so.
This time the negro showed the
officer where he had hidden the box
under a negro's restaurant on Hamp?
ton avenue.
There was nothing in the box, it
having been broken open, but James
led the officer on down to the old
C. S. & N. R. R., where, in some
weeds nearby, the sack, containing
$11.70, was found.
In the Recorder's court this morn?
ing James was given a sentence of 30
days on the chaingang.

WILL FIGHT EXTRADITION?
Professor Goodman Kvcndently Does
Not Wish to Revisit Sumter.
From what can be gathered from a
telegram received Friday by Sher
ig Epperson, from Deputy Sheriff
Sykes, who is in Ohio for the purpose
of bringing him back here, Professor
Goodman evidently does not wish to
return to this city.
The telegram is dated at St. Clair
vllle, Ohio, and reads as follows:
"Express at once copy of statue
defining crime against Goodman."
(Signed) "J. S. SYKES."
Although no Information has been
received to that effect, Goodman's
lawyers are evidently fighting extra?
dition, and the authorities In Oh*o
wlHh to know if the warrant for
Goodman charges him with an of?
fense under the statues of this State.
It begins to look as If the trouble
with the Oakland avenue sewer, and
the heavy expense that the construe
tion of a new line will entail, will In?
definitely postpone the paving of
Main street. The city has not suffi?
cient money in sight to do both, and
the repair of the sewerage system is
an absolute necessity.
The suggestion that the Masonic
Temple be remodeled and converted
into a model commercial hotel has
met with general approval among
business men who have given it con
sideration. There is reason to believe
the suggestion will bear fruit in the
near future.
This is a rather dull season for
John Doe, but as soon as cotton pick?
ing begins and money becomes morv
plentiful he will begin piling up boost
cases for the fall term of court.
A negro convict. Lewis Ransom,
known as "Springfield," from Lei'
county, who was bit in the head by
another convict, and brought to
Mood's Infirmary for treatment, was
sent to Columbia for further treat?

OVER FALLS.
Will Dillard of Westminster Went j
Over Issaqucna Falls?Not Serious- ,
ly Hurt.
Walhalla, July 15.?Will Dillard, a j
young man from Westminster, Fell
50 feet down Issaquena falls, on Tun- I
enl hill, five miles west of here, yes- \
terday afternoon. His escape from !
a horrible death is almost miraculous.
I
lie was brought at once to the home
of his uncle, W. T. Grubbs, in Wal- I
halla, where he received medical at
tontion. He was able this morning
t<> leave for his home In Westmin?
ster.
The falls are step shaped an 1
young Dillard fell over three of Ihese
?the total descent being over 50
feet. A party of more than 30 young
people of Westminster were having
a few days outing at the tunnel.
There is a legendary romance that
Fssaquenn and her lover leaped from
these falls long ago and escaped from
irate parents and chiefs.
Nature is visible thought.?Heine.
The friends of Maj. C. B. Yeadoir
are congratulating: him upon his pro?
motion to the Lieutenant Colonelcy
of the Second regiment. It is an hon?
or worthily bestowed, for he is one
of the most efficient and zealous ?f?
fners of the State militia and his ser?
vice in the past is the best guaran?
tee that he will fill his new office
with credit to himself and to the
Second regiment.
The Civic League asks that any one
having a pair of old crutches will
please phone headquarters, as a pair
is needed.
