There was a deplorable and un- j fortunate shootiDg affair in this county near Irmo, about two o'clock Wednesday night, in which Mr. Joseph S. Metz was seriously if not fatally wounded at his residence. The difficulty grew out of family misunderstandings and all parties suspected of being involved in it are connected by the closest bonds of kinship. As the case is likely to find its way into court, the Dispatch, as has ' 1 " ? /1AA1it>AC been its mvanaoie cusivm, to publish any of the particulars connected with the lamentable affair. Several persons have been arrested who will be given a preliminary hearing before Magistrate J. W. Dreher today. Dental Notioe. Dr. J. W. Boozer will be at Lexington court week, (June 8th to 13th). For fear he might not be able to meet the appointment here in July, those having urgent work had better call in time. It is also 3 very important for each to speak for his turn so as not to be crowded out. Confederate Pensioners. I The new Pension Board have comI pleted its labors, examined the apI plicants of those applying for a penI sion, classified them and sent the list I to the State Board for its approval. I Under the old law there were fiftyI six persons in this county drawing a I pension, to this number, the new I Board has added twenty-seven names, I making the total number 83, divided I up into the following classes: 38 I widows in class C, who draw $4 per I month; 1 in class A $8 per month; 1 S in class B $6 per month, and 36 in j class C. Of this number 2 have been I transferred to other counties, the I person entitled to $8 per month beI ing one of the number. There will. I not be enough money to pay those I who received pension as provided by I law so that the sum ass:gned to this I county will have to be pro rated. ?

( We are glad to learn that our people have at last awakened to their r duty as citizens and are turning out [ so well to meet the Supervisors. g The probabilities now are that there will be a full registration of the voters j of the county. We would impress ] upon those applying for a certificate the necessity of carrying along their tax receipt as the Supervisors are re- ^ quired to be satisfied that the applicant has paid his taxes before they can issue a certificate. After receivn r ing it, pin your tax receipt and certificate together and lay them away for future use, as you will have to show ? your tax receipt as well as your certificate to the Board of Managers before you will be allowed to vote. ' ^ , ( A Fiendish Outrage. : * We have been informed by a reliable and responsible person that a fiendish and brutal assault was made upon the person of Mrs. Ben ^ Gunter, who resides at the uold 8 . t ITTTWA* v\1OAA nn flin A 11 micfa JL/a>C J.XJ iCi uu I/UO uuguuvu road near the place of Mr. George D. Hayes, on Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock, by a strange negro who had been seen by several parties loafing about the neighborhood. ^ Our informant states that Mrs. Gunter, with her husband and two t * t other persons, had been at work in " a field some distance from the house, and, complaining of being sick, was j told by her husband to go home and lay down. She started to do so, and ] on her way home, in passing an old log house, she saw a negro man sit- j ting beside it playing with a pistol. After hailing her he caught her and J scuffle ensued. Whether he accom- j plished his hellish purpose is not known as the lady is very reticent about the matter. , As soon as it had become known j that the assault had been made the j neighbors immediately organized and ^ started in pursuit of the fiend, but { up to the time our informant left, the search has been without success. 1 If caught a necktie party will prob- \ ably follow during which he will j dance in the air at the end of a plow line to the tune of whistling bullets. He is described as being a black burly negro, about feet high, 1 heavy built, thick lips, weighs about 1 165 pounds, had on a white shirt but no coat nor vest, and a cigarette hat. The citizens should be on the look out for sKich a negro answering to the above description and arrest him. Meet us, Please. "We will accompany the Supervisors of Registration on their rounds i through the county, commencing at j New Brookland on the 22d of June, j and will expect those who are owing j us to meet us prepared to pay a por- | tion, if not all, subscription. So ! don't require us to dun you person- ! ally for every one knows when he is j behind. We cannot run a paper without money and you know it. MARRIED. May 27, 1896, by Rev. A. R.

The criminal docket for the June term of court is unusually heavy for thi8 time of year. Generally the summer term remains in session for not more than three days. No jury cases are heard at the June term. The following prisoners are in jail awaiting trial upon the charges mentioned: Horace Tobias and Scott Darr, both colored, charged with arson in burning the gin house of J. C. Hope. Eddie Holmes, colored, breaking into a house on Capt Abram Geiger's place. Neal Brown and Wiss Brown, father and son, colored, Jacob. R. Bouknight and Joe W. "Wessinger, white, charged with burning the stables and barn of S. J. Clark. Wessinger has not been arrested yet. Till Quattlebaum, charged with murdering Frank Mattry, both colored, is out on bill, but it is probable his case will be heard during the term. The Clerk requests all jurors and witnesses to be in the court room promptly at half past nine so as to organize the court at 10 o'clock. Superior to All Other. Gerento, Miss., May Gtb, 1892.

The Dispatch is anxious to publish the news from every neighborhood in the county. It appreciates the efforts of its numerous correspondents to furnish it with the news and would request a continuance of their efforts. But, however, many correspondents have taken advantage of our ignorance of their local affairs and imposed upon us by sending us paragraphs, which to us looked innocently enough, but we have since learned have been the cause of unnecessarily wounding the feeling of some of their neighbors. This we regret and will exhaust all means in our power to prevent a recurrence. We only want actual occurrences in their most condensed and crispest forms. Such communications will always find a welcome place in our columns. * | Our Trip. We had the pleasure of spending last week in the Fork of this county and during our travels in the different sections we found the crops to be in excellent condition, better than has been for years. The wheat crop is the best that we have seen in a long time. Oats are not looking so fine and perhaps a very 6hort crop will be harvested. Corn is indeed fine and is in a flourishing condition. T'Vio V>oe Vioon favnraVilA tn Via farmers of that section, as it enabled them to plant early and get there crops in good condition. Tobacco is not doing so well, as a stand could not be obtained on account of the ravages of the cut worm, but the planters are not discouraged and are pushing forward with commendable perseverance.

The State Democratic Execntiae Committee has been called to meet on Jane 5, Friday. The committee will then arrange for the campaign meetings. It is likely that the first meeting will be held in the Eastern part of the State, abont Jane 22, commencing at Manning or Kingstree or Georgetown. The Eastern and lower section of the State will then ho foVon in rocmlar order, as railroad WW -Q schedules will permit and the wiod up be held in the up country, at Abbeville or Anderson or some other point in that section, closing about August 19. If the idea is carried out it will include an interim of a week or more by reason of the meeting of the national Democratic convention . at Chicago. We regretted very much to learn last week while in Columbia that the supposed literary work of F. C. CiUghmani of Lexington, the only and original "Cal." "The Political Looking Glass," was all a newspaper joke. We expected some rich and racy reading from this sonrce, knowing that "Cally" was competent to write the book and that he could tell eome rich "tales out of school." We hope the joke will yet turn out to be a fact.?Newberry Observer. ? * j-i-. w.j rr:n_ scraps ircm me xveo, auit>. To the Editor of the Dispatch. The farmers are still busy chopping cotton and plowing corn; some are not yet through planting their corn. Fruit will be scarce this year. A big bumble bee has been flying around. If you wish to know anything about it, ask Misses Agnes and Lula Rawl for information. Ask Miss Hattie Leaphart why she got so mad Sunday night, and how quick was she made glad by the appearance of her fellow. A young man down in the Congaree settlement, it is said, has traded all his horses and mules, four in number, for a girl, but he intends after getting the girl, to get them back too. The young bachelor's cats have thined out. It is not cats now but only cat. The other young bachelor, Mr. Jacob Geiger, down on the Congaree river, will have to supply our community, as he has a full supply of cats: It was his pet cat that cheated Miss Carrie Leaphart out of her supper. Miss Carrie enjoyed her supper fine, as she was lucky enough to get another one. Guess his pet cat thought that his best girl had called to see him, as it was leap year, and while it had a chance it would try her to see if she would be kind to it or not, and also to do as it was trained by Mr. Geiger, "help him court." His pet was mistaken that time. It was only his niece instead of his best girl. Mr. Editor, you ought to see Mr. William A. Geiger stepping around in town, or when the girls are about he walks as softly as a cat with new shoes on, and oh! how sweetly he smiles, and he looks as happy as a crow in a large field of corn. Best wishes for the Dispatch man and the Dispatch readers. Bonnie Belle. Hashing Battle for Office. To the Editor of the Dispatch. The rush for office from Coronor up to President is near at hand. Forces are now being marshaled ana already the din of battle and clash of arms can be heard in the distance. The "dear people" are again about to be blest with the endearing words, smiles and hearty grasp of the hand of the candidate, the cleverest and most unselfish friend known to the voter who only bless the people with their presence during election years. True and unselfish patriotism impels them to respond to the call of their "many friends", and but for the ardent, and often Christian desire, to serve the pressing call made upon their time and talents they would not run for office. Such are the characteristics of the e -1 art/3 <V|Q nwt" | prUI6bBlUliUl J^uxibiwaii) auu^ i?wv v * v? credulous, but honest farmer, mechanic and laboring men, are often | the victims of a misplaced confidence i superinduced by the artifices and I shifts of these smiling office seekers [ and have often been lead to vote for a wolf in sheeps clothing. But the people are learning more of their rights and how to take care of themselves. They are taking the reins of government, will drive and no man will be allowed to work in the lead, not even Ben Tillman, if he refuses to lead where the people want to go. The hand of depression still lies heavy upon all classes not in the combines, through which all people , outside the trusts and combinations for the accumulation of great wealth are robbed, under the guise of laws made by men who are elected by the people that they rob. These conditions want to be improved. The ballot is in the hands of the people and in the fall elections of 1896 they should, with a determined will, apply the remedy for their own relief, and for the restoration of prosperity and happiness for all the people of this nation, which would result in good for all the civilized nations of the earth. Effect is always the result of a cause. So, in the present sufferings of the people. "Mr. Editor, it is through the newspapers that causes and effects can readily be brought before the people. Now is the time to discusss these matters and the want9 of a suffering people demand that you and the people generally spread upon your columns facts that bring about these troubles for the mutual information and guidance of the voters. Let us counsel together. In the multitude of counsel there is wisdom. Let no one be ashamed or afraid to write their opinions over their own signature, or if preferable, over some nom deplume. Let no ooe fail to take and read their county papers and also the Columbia Daily Register. With i # il these two papers oeiore mem no person need be ignorant about matter pertaining to national, State, or county politics. Hoping that you will kindly indulge communications on this subject, we listen to hear from you and others, and will write again. J. H. Koon. Brookland, May 25, 1896. Silver Wins in Kansas.
