The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C.. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBfR 3. 1900. A negro barber shot and killed the wKiio /lormfv ShpriflF nf (Tenr??etown. n uivv v*v^/w? vj - ? -- ?. at Georgetown last Saturday night. The latter had gone to the formers place of business to collect a dibt when an altercation ensued duriDg which the deputy Sheriff, in attempting to draw his pistol, let it fall to the fl >or, and the negro seizing it shot him five times. The negro escaped from the shop but was captured by a policeman and confined in jail. The negroes of the town and vicinity congregated in large numbers around the jail premises and made violent demonstrations and threatened to burn the town. For a while things looked squally. A race riot was imminent and Intendant Morgan telegraphed to Governor McSweeney for assistance, and he ordered Capt. Sparkman to summons out the local malitia and also ordered a company from Sumter and a detachment of 180 men with a Gatlin and Hotchkiss gun from Charleston to proceed to Georgetown. The presence of the militia overawed the negroes and they quietly dispersed without doing any harm. By the accidental dis charge of a soldiers gun Editor Josiah Doar of the Georgetown Times was shot in the leg and it i9 probable that it will have to be amputated. Two proposed amendments to the State constitution are to be voted upon at the approaching general election. One of them relates to the drainage and reclaiming of swamp lands in the State and the other is designed to enable certain municipalities to increase their bonded indebtedness. ti *_ 1-j t ht?l: i it is reporteu iroui Yvasinugtuu that favorable news has been received ?^ from the European Chancellories indicating that a complete agreement as to China is within sight, on the basis of the proposition as laid dowD by the United States Secretary of State in his note of July 3rd. The Spartanburg Herald has entered Robert B. Scarborough in the list against John L. McLaurin for United States Senator. Curley Headed Jcbnnie, however, is laying low and saying nothing. Should he decide to stand for re election, he will probably succeed himself. The Columbia State is to be commended for the stand it has taken in reference to the blind timers aid ; _ - a gambling hells of Columbia. We are glad that it has done so. Director Bauer of the United States Weather Bureau, says the crops of the State have all reached maturity or have beeD gathered. Jourt. When we went to press last week the case beiDg tried was that of Susannah Jane Cook vs. Southe n Railway Company, an action for d images from forest fire. Mr Strother represented the plain iff md Mr. E. M. Thomson the defendant. The verdict rendered was $275. The next case was Isaac E iwards vs. Southern Riilway Co, which re suited in a nonsuit. On Monday the third week's jurors were called and empaneled with S. P. Shumpert of Shumperts, as Foreman of Jury No. l,and J.

While our paper was being printed last Wednesday we received the painful intelligence of the fatal acci dent which befeli Mrs. Job F. W ngard and her daughter, Miss Cuttus, in which the former lost her life and the latter sustained serious injuries. It seems that on Tuesday of last week they left their home to carry dinner to the husband and bands who were working in a distant fit-Id They were diiving a horse reputed to be gentle. In returning homo, and while in sight ol 31r. WiDgard, who was on horse back, the horse driven by the ladies became frightened at something by the roadsido and dashing off, threw Mrs. WiDgard forward out of the buggy breaking her neck, and Miss Custus fell backward sustaining serious injuries. The news of the accident was a shcck to the entire county and cast a gloom over the community where the accident occurred.
