RoR Richardson Taken to the Scene of
the Crime But His Attorney Does Kot
Allow Him to Answer Questions Put
tolling
By an order from Judge Rob
inson, Robt. Richardson, who
since the killing of Policeman
Kerns has been in jail here, and
who since the preliminary trial
has been held as a witness was
taken from jail today (Tuesday)
by Sheriff Peck to the place on
West Depot street where Mr.
Kerns was killed.
As there was a great difference
in opinion as to the case, Rich
ardson's attorney, Mr. Luther
Hartsell, and also Mr. W G
Means, who is an attorney for
the State would not allow Rich
ardson to answer any questions,
more than as to the place where
the affair occurred. Measure
ments were taken as to the .posi
tions apart of the different
parties at the time of. the
killing of MrT Kerns.
CannonYille Presbyterians.
For ten days , the protracted
meeting at Cannonville has been
in progress and the blessing of
God has attended the efforts of
His people. The meeting is now
drawing to a close. Mr. Siler
will preach again this evening
at 4 o'clock and tonight at 8
o'clock and Rev. W O Alexander
will preach the closing sermon
of the meeting tomorrow night.
Last night the congregation was
small but attentive and enjoyed
greatly Mr. Siler 's sermons.
Everybody is cordially invited
to be present tonight and to
morrow night for the closing
services. Pastor.
The Whole Gang Has Skipped.
That was an unfortunate trip
Deputy Sheriff Townsend made
down to the washout last Satur
day afternoon when the negroes
were being paid for their services.
Quite a number have failed to
come for their money and the
others have left. Out of a gang
of forty -five only two have
stayed at their work.
There's Actiyity In the Philippines.
Operations in the Philippines
seem to be brisk beyound con
ception in view of the terrible
hindrance. Rains keep the
streams swollen and the roads
impassable for wagons and yet
our troops sweep on, the cav
alry dashing upon towns and
villages capturing subsistence
and the infantry holding it.
While Aguinaldo has probably
escaped it is believed that most
of his army are inside of our lines.
Many of these will hide their
guns, doff their war goods and
play friendly. ' '
It is different with our lack of
compl ete maps to understand the
movements but our troops are j
certainly, not waiting for the
approaching dry weather but
are proceeding on the idea that
the rain and mud retard the re
treater as much as the pursuer.

A Shifting Engine Here. ,
The Southern Railway Co. is
now beginning to realize each
day the volume of business don
here at their station, more espe
cially in the freight department.
It has now become necessarv to
place a shifting engine here in
order to ulace the cr z ' 1 z
different parts4 of the vyo ids. The
shifting ocars delays the local
freight - train for hours each
day. The placing of the shifting
engine here is only temporary,
but probably the plan will be
made permanent.
