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. PROCEEDINGS OF COURT. Building Supply Co. Awarded Verdict Of $490.7?.

Knox Newman, de? fendant, was next heard and a de? cree signed for defendant. 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? ment Friday morning.

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. OPPORTUNITY!
