Herbert Bullock, Telegraph Operator, Accused of Plying Comrade with Whiskey and Picking His Pockets. Held for Court by Magistrate Kirby. (Spartanburg Herald) After being plied with ginger ale highballs until he was helplessly drunk, Robert P. Dyar, a flagman of the Southern railway, was carried, on Saturday night, into a vacant house back of Magnolia street and robbed of $50 and a watch and chain worth $8, according to sworn statements maue ueiore magistrate A. ti. lurDy yesterday morning . Herbert Bullock ,a telegraph operator, was accused of the crime, and committed to jail on a charge of larceny from the person. He was later released in $200 bail furnished by William Tinsley and J. P. West. Member of Georgia Family. ^ Bullock said he was a member of the well-known Georgia family of that name and formerly lived in Georgia, but had married in Virginia. Bullock and Dyar both live with their families at the home of Mr. Rhineheart, near the Southern depot. According to Dyar, the two men started out about 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon in search of recreation. iiri xi ?? ? * ?t ueii mey were near tne r ranKlin club, Bullock, he said, remarked that he would Ret some whiskey. He went up a stairway and returned with a pint, for which he paid, according to Dyar, $1. They took the liquor to a restaurant and drank it with ginger ale, the purpose of thus mixing it being to get quicker "action." r.nt I .Innnr T! * in w i i men. When the liquor was consumed, they obtained more, and even got a third supply, Dyar was by this time very unsteady on his legs, and Bullock, he said, carried him to a vacant negro cabin back of Worsley's restaurant on Magnolia street. Dyar said that as he was lying on the floor Bullock turned him over and rifled his pockets, getting $50 and a watch and chain. Dyar said he was dimlv conscious of what won on but could not resist. When Dyar failed to return home, young Mr. Rhinehart started in search of him. Several people had seen Dyar and Bullock go to the negro cabin together and Bullock return without Dyar. Rhinehart went to the cabin and found Dyar. His pocketbook was lying near him empty. When Dyar went home he asked Bullock about the money and watch. Bullock denied all knowledge of them.

Taking of Testimony Will Probably Start Then. The investigation of alleged irregjlarities and fraud in connection with the recent primary will begin at Spartanburg September 24, according to i telegram received by The State yesterday from W. F. Stevenson, chairnan of the subcommittee from the State Democratic executive committep who is at Atlantic City. The taking of testimony will begin then. En route from Asheville. N. C., to Atlantic City, Mr. Stevenson conferred with two members of the committee in Charlotte, N. C., and appointed committees to cover various parts of the State in a search for jvidences of fraud or to find proof ;hat no fraud existed. The subcommittee was divided into two committees and each assigned one-half of the State.' W. B. Wilson, Jr., of Rock Hill is chairman of one committee, while J. B. Park of Greenwood heads the sther. Both committees are understood to have been earnestly at work. The members of the subcommittee to investigate the charges of fraud in the primary as appointed by John Carv Evans, phairmoti ~ ? ?y iiiMII VA VIIC executive committee, are: W. F. Stevenson, Chesterfield, chairman; T. B. Butler, Cherokee; W. B. Wilson, Jr., York; J. B. Park, Greenwood; J. M. Greer, Union; J. D. Bivens, Dorchester; R. M. Jeffries, Jasper. Mr. Stevenson's telegram follows: "The subcommittee of the Democratic executive committee is called to meet at Spartanburg cburt house an Tuesday, September 24, at 1 p. m., to begin taking evidence on the contested questions which appear from the matters then in the hands of the members or presented by others. "W. F. Stevenson, i /Chairman." ?The St^te. I'he Flying Office. annals of naval and land e have heard much of "flying squairons." It remained, howiver, for file telephone to make it possible for^Jailway officials to ha"e ivhat may/be termejd-^tf "flying office." A.karailroad official L railroad lon't have to be tiedxlown to our city jffices anWraore. We can get around >ver theses, and see what is going >n with our <forr eyes. Neglect our routine business Not much! We do iust as much if not more, with modsrn methods." This is all brought about by the Tact that the majority of the private :ars in the United States are now equiped with Western Electric Telephones, which may be connected at Qfnrnini, nlo/>/> 1 ? ??? uw wv tuc icicjinunc line by means of a line pole. Over the telephone circuit thus established, the official transacts his routine business as well as takes care of any emergency which may arise. He dictates his memoranda, and even his I more lengthy letters, to his secretary >r stenographer, who is at headquarters. His private car is his office and without neglecting every-day matters he can make inspections or personally supervise any work, such as clearing up a large reck, the replacing of a bridge or the clearing of a snow or land slide, while keeping his finger upon the "pulse of the road." In . the daye before the telephone bega to supplant the telegraph for lispatching the message work on railroads, this would not have been pos,;ui~ *? - > iiuic, lur even ix a temporary telegraph circuit had been ripped up, it would have been necessary to employ experienced operators at both ends, rhis would have meant that a personal message between the General Manager and the Superintendent would have had to pass though two intervening minds, which would of :ourse have detracted from the personal-touch element. This is one of the many points wherein the telephone is vastly superior to the telegraph for use on railway systems. To Preach to Odd Fellows at Buffalo. Buffalo, Sept 16.?On the fourth Sunday, September 22, there will be an Odd Fellow sermon at the Buffalo Baptist church.
