Heavy Rain in Hartsville. i
Hartsville, May 26.--Hartsville :
experienced a delude this evening. 1
For two hours the drains were in- i
adequate and bridges were wash- 1
cd away and stores flooded. The
streets were impassable and in r't
places were four 1 i
water, parties swimming across I;
them. The damage to crops <
must have >::i c > ui le.* ible. <
These rains are unprecedented.

Darlington County Visited by ,
Deluge.

Darlington, May 28.?The
heavy rains have caused most of 1
the mill dams and bridges through- I
out this county to be washed i
away, which has considerably in- 1
terfercd with travel on the var- :
ions public roads leading to town. 1
Several of the bridges over black i
creek are gone. s
It is impossible to exactly cs- j
timate the amount of damage j
done but it is into the thousands. 1
The crops are badly injured and ]
the farmers are very despondent j
over the present outlook. 1

of tho beat known mnn in Alabama,
was ihot and instantly killed 1
this afternoon by John Randolph, J
a second cousin, in front of the

There are several rumors as to j
the cause of tho tragedy, the one j
given most credenco being that .
Judge Randolph had demanded u
loan of money from his slayer, -
with the accompanying threat t
that unless the loan was forth j.
coming violence would ensue.
The two meu met this afternoon
and it is said that Judge Randolph
presented a singlo^barroled repea- j

County on question of dispen- ?
sary. It is thepurpose of those who I
have the matter in hand to push *
it through with as little delay as I
possible. It is not believed that (
there will be any difficulty in cith- ^
cr securing the necessary number 1
of signatures to the petition or in (
voting out the rum mill after the s
election is ordervd. It is believed v
that a large majority of the vot- a
srs have had more than a plenty
af experience with the infamous 1
business and will liteially "stamp

opportunity. ^
