There are some miscreants on the ra road some miles above Union who shou be laid for, and if caught should be mai an example of that would be a sufflcie warning]to others, similarly inclined, i deter them from the contemptible ai ' dangerous practice, that of throwii rocks at the passing trains.

Moral: When you advertise in Tiie Times you must prepare for business, for it's coming. 3 The Jonas Swink affair. A Columbia correspondence of the f New York Herald gives; the following t regarding the Swink affair: ' Mrs. Fearson,itfe(ms,wasafriendof , the Swink family. She was about thirtyf five yeais old, and visited at the house. - It is charged that a note from a young man in Woodrufl intended for one of the women of swink's family was delivered to her by Mis. Pearson, Swink made the discjvery, in what way is not known, nor can it be ascertained whether the t correspondence had been carried for any ( length of time,but soon after the disclosures Mis. Pearson called at the house. t She was met in the parlor by the int furiated man, and after chargii g the j woman with the offense, he began beat. ing her with a stout stick. There was I no one to interfere and the woman was pounded from neck to heels until she collapsed. Swink then ordered Mrs. Pearson to leave the town, and she did so on the next train, going to Gastonia, where she telegraphed her husband to meet her. She went to bed, called physicians and 1 after sutiering six weeks, died. Imme 1 (1 iately after beating Mrs. Pearson Swink - went with a gun in search of the author ' of the note, but the young m m h living 1 received timely warning from Swink's ' home had lied from the town. He is now in the far West and is not expected ? to return. 1 - ? Another Robbery. Another breaking in occurred Monday night. This time Mr. J. IL. Speais was the victim. The thief, Lee Carter, a prized out one of the iron bars at the 1 rear window, and raising the sash entered * the store, where he helped himself to i what suited his fancy. Among the * tilings loraseu atcoutiro tv?Mu. 3 a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, a hat ^ and a shirt. But his desire to change R the odor, which habitually accompanied " him, was the means or his detection. 3 lie dropped one of the shoes outside the " store and a vest inside. He put a liberal 1 amount of the cologne on his person and went to his quarters, which were at the home of one West Hunter, whose attentinn W.1Q attrootori hw tho nnnanol VIVM ?? ??" MVVAUVVUU MJ WUV U11 UOU?l VA4UI that Lee brought with him at that late It hour of the night. Tuesday morning West heard of the robbery, and when the & cologne was mentioned, he at once susd picioned Lee and told on him. Lee was >r arrested and a portion of the goods were k found. He tiied to implicate Jim Davis, e who was arrested, but there was no evii. dence against him on that couut. A <j razor was found on his person, however, it and will be held to answer to the charge k of carrying concealed weapons. Carter at the trial, Thursday morning, exlionerated Davis, saying that one was the one whe broke in the store, and told him if he was ever caught to use the name of Jim Davis as his accomplice. He assisted d him by receiving the stolen goods tc '? take care of them for him. He is a liar d of the first water and should serve a de8* cAde in the pen. We have no doubt hi )r knows something about the other break ings. He was sent up by the Mayor t( y the higher court, and Jim Davis wai r" turned loose. Carter is the same negro who broki J into Mr. H. G. Bailey's beef marke ' two years ago and helped himself t( 11 what he wanted. ? ? ?
