Pink Bouknight, aged 52 years, wa9 shot and killed by Will CoIHls, a negro, in the Dutch Fork section of ths county at about 1 o'clock last Tuesday morning. In the last issue of The Dispatch it was stated that Mr. Bouknight had died suddenly at his home. It seems from what can be gathered that Will Collins was thought to have been the person who set fire to the barn and stables of Mr. Joel Fulmer a few weeks ago, and instead of allowing the law to take its course, a partywas made up to visit the home of the I negro. Arriving at the home of Col- ' lins, the negro was repeated] v asked to come out, and upon refusing to do 1 so it was decided to break in through the window and J. P. Bouknight headed the way. When lie had gotten into the window he was fired upon by the negro, the entire load from a shotgun taking effect in the upper part of the stomach. The negro is said to have rushed out through the 9ame window in his night clothes. He was fired upon by the po99e as he ran off in the darkness, CVJLLU WllliC IV 13 DtfttCU UJ UUC that Collins escaped and is still alive, it is generally believed that he was lynched and his body thrown into the river. Collins' wife escaped without injury, but one of her children wa9 shot in the back. Mr. Bouknight was hurriedly carried to the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Fulmer, where a conveyance was secured to carry him to his home, but he expired on the road after the most intense suffering. Magistrate Wallace E. Lorick, of Irmo, conducted an inquest over. the body of Mr. Bouknight, the veraict of the jury being that the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound in the hands of parties unknown to the jury. The remains of Mr. Bouknight were laid to rest in the silent city of the dead at Shady Grove church on Wednesday afternoon. The deceased leaves a wife and a large family of children. r ?

Polite and Pror COURT PROCEEDINGS. 8 The Jane term of the court of gen- R eral sessions for Lexington county I convened on Monday morning with H Judge George E. Prince, of Anderson, 9 presiding. Clerk of Court Frank W. R Shealy had everything in readiness, fij and Solicitor Timmerman, Stenogra- ? pher Anderson, Sheriff Corlev and the g other officers of the court were at g their respoctive posts of duty. $j For one hour and a half Judge j| Prince addressed the grand jury. His j| was periiaps the ablest charge deliv- j| .ered before a Lexiugton jury in many 0 years, covering as it did, every phase j| of a grand jurors duty. He urged a 2 thorough investigation into the affairs 2j of the county?a thorough exsriiina- | tion of the county offices. He urged | that a better salary be paid the count} | supervisor and county superintendent j of education. These two offices, he 3 said, should be filled by the best men | in the county?the best equipped men j for the performance of the several du- S ties of these officers. He stressed the a importance of securing good teachers I for our schools?teachers who have fig the ability, the back-bone and the S moral and physical courage to do r their duty. Judge Prince declared that no teacher should have the right fi to enter the school room unless he or she has been divinely called. Teaching, like other callings, is an art, he said, and only those who have been thus endowed should be employed. Judge Jfrinee saia tnat ne preauy deplored the terrible tragedy which took place in the Dutch Fork a week ago?the tragedy in which Mr. J. P. Bouknight lost his life. VI want you, gentlemen, to investigate this killing; ' I want you to find out if possible who was with this man at the time he was killed, ascertain if the party had a le- ^ gal warrant for the negro. If they f) did nob every man composing that g party of 'white caps' is guilty of an il- jR legal act and it is your duty to present them to this court." Judge (i Prince stated that thi3 tragedy was 8 most uncalled for. "This is a whito fi man's country," said Judge Prince, g "and the negro will never be empow- * ered with the administration of our ^ laws." 'A The first case called for trial was 4 that of the State against Lewis Ham- 8 mond, a one-eyed negro, for obtain- a ing goods under false pretence, the property in question being a mule. He ? ? - .. J il -wt a 1 \ ?r was iuuuu guutj auu scuwuiitu the court Isaac James, a negro, was tried upon the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, the alleged crime! ( having been committed in the Swun-j r sea section. James was acquitted. Jake Gadsden, a negro, was tried and convicted on the charge oi arson, it having been alleged that he burned a residence of ?<Ir. A vane in Brookland several months ago. He was j recommended to tno mercy of the court and will, therefore, go to the penitentiary for life. Tne grand jury returned the following true bilis: Lewis Hammond, obtaining goods under false pretence; Eugene Merritt, assault and battery; 5 Isaiah James, assault and battery; Press Franklin, assault and battery. p with intent to kill, carrying concealed weapons and resisting an officer, etc.; Thomas Dreher. assault and batterv: Pinky Culpepper, murder; Will Rowe, j 0 murder; Isaiah Dreher, assault and I battery, (110 bill); Jake Gadsden, ar- \Q. son; Wash Rawl, arson; W.
