YOUNG MAN IS ALLEGED THIEF J. P. Gist Does Not Deny That He Stole Bag of Money?Is Under Arrest in Charleston?Confesses to Theft When He is Confronted by Three Victims. Charleston,July 21.?After having repeatedly denied he committed the offense, while being grilled by Chief of Police Cantwell Saturday night, following his arrest, J. P. Gist a VAiinop u?V>Uo mow J n.xw man VII. V1UUIUIII 5 ytSterday broke down when confronted by those he robbed and admitted the J truth of the charges against him. As a result of the robbery, which involved three different people, two of the thefts may not cause him trouble, as it is thought that the case which the ^ United States authorities have against him of robbing the Postoflfice, 1 will send him to the Federal penitentiary. United States Commissioner Waring yesterday swore out an affidavit charging Gist with larcency of a bag 3 of money from Postmaster A. L. Chandler, of the Gourdin's office. The money lost by the country postmaster is said to be about $25. The story of the robbery and Gist's arrest later in Charleston is interesting. The facts of the robbery, which shows nerve on the art of Gist, was ' unknown to the nolire until ----- - 1 day, when Messrs. O. W. McKnight, . ticket agent; A. L. Chendler, postr master, and G. C. Parson, a clerk of the Gourdin Mercantile company appeared at the police station, and in the presence of Gist told of the way in which the man had abused the confidence placed in him. Yesterday afternoon the three - young men appealed at the police j station and told their tale to Chief Cantwell, who afterward had Gist ~ bi ,ught into his office where he was 5 then confronted by the three men 1 that had entrusted him about their ri!-i ' ? ... , piates. vnsi aia not hesitate the police say, but made a clean confession, " claiming that he must have been drunk when he committed the rob* berries. ^ Postmaster Misses Bag. Saturday afternoon about train ' time, Gist asked for a ticket to CharL '-Mfcnn Ht was given the tick^and , left. HoweVer n Hl^ *iai? j.1', r ing into the station, he calle<^aiom? to agent McKnight for a ticket saying that he was not given one when I - he was at the window before. Mix , agent McKnight for a ticket savinff! ?T | k that he was not given one when he was at the window before. Mr. " McKnight handed him another Gist then hurried aboard the train^ without pay-ing for the second ticket. Mr. McKnight said he noticed that Gist was nervous and not his usual self, but could not account for it. After the departure of the train, and Postmaster Chandler had taken 1 the mail received back to his office, ' he checked up the day's sales and . when he went to put the coin into | the bag the bag was not faand, He went to the station and tojd agent McKnight that he had lost hie bag < of money belonging to the pogtoffit'o, ; containing about $25. It was learn, ed that Gist had been seen in the postoffice shortly before tbe train arrived. His actions about the ticket an dthe loss of the bag of money and the report that G. C. I'areon, of *U? * ' * I mc nyure in wnicn U18t Slept, had al! &0 lost a suit of clothes, were put toother by the trio and a conclusion reached that Gist must have robbed them. i i ' ? M on Knrsw/ I ?

CIqia Clo* 11 jajc jiai plual JONESVILLE NEWS LETTER. We have had two light showers of rain at Jonesville lately, but the ground soon dries out and the showers do little good. A general rain is what we need. The last Friday and Saturday was the hottest weather we have had here in several years. Since the dispensaries were opened in Union, we have had an abundance of carpet baggers. I believe they are more numerous than they were at the time of reconstruction. They ftFP going ana coming continually and they are not Northern adventurers hut are mostly "Son's of Ham." Rev, W. H. Ariail is holding his summer meeting at New Hope this week. Something over twenty bales of cotton were put on the tnarket here last week; it came from the country around Jonesville. Twelve and one half oanta paid fbr the best. Quite a lot of cotton was damaged thereby causing much loss to the owners and then a loss of 3-4 cent in the price as it would have brought 13 cents last winter and spring. So much for holding cotton. Prof. R. O. Sams, of Gaffney, has been elected nrincinal of tho omiHpH school here for the next term.
