on Sociology. He will speak on
the mill work in the South.
Mr. Adams is one of our fine Union

growing schools of that growing
state.

Adam's kindness is much appreciated.
A subject of such interest, handled
by one so well equipped, gives
an opportunity that should attract
many.

J. P. Gist Does Not Deny That He

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

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.

Saturday afternoon about train

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? * ' *

toother by the trio and a conclusion
reached that Gist must have robbed

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

daughter of Mr. John Shell Pickens.
She was 31 years of age and leaves
