School Sonse Burned.
"Red Knoll" school house, located
near Wyses's Ferry about five miles
north of Lexington, was destroyed by
fire on Friday evening about half
past seven o'clock. When first aiscov
ered the whole building was ablaze
and everything in the building was
lost. It is thought that fire was left
burning in the fire-place on Friday
and that it, in some manner, rolled
out on the floor causing a total loss of
the school-house and all of its con
tents. This 16 only a theory, however,
and it may be, it is asserted by some,
that the fire was set to the building by
an incendiary. The school, which is
being taught by Miss Aiken from Oo{
lumbia, will be continued in another
} building near-by and there will be no
{ time lost as a result of the school
! house having been burned. >

Eason, a clerk in the Bee Hive department
store here, this afternoon slashed
Brown about the face with a pocket
knife. Brown drew a revolver and
fired three balls into the body of Eason,
one entering the right arm, another a
right leg and a third the right knee.
I Eason, while painfully shot, will recover.
It was found necessary to take
16 stitches in the face of Brown. The
shooting affray happened in the clothiDg
department of the store, and several
women clerks were near the two
men when they commenced fighting;.

Supervisor Charles E. Goriey has
made it known that those person Hwho
failed to pay commutation road tax
, daring the period limit prescribed by
will either have to pay their fines,
work .the road or go to the rock pile.
Dorii|j the past several weeks the
f, Lexington supervisor hajfhad a nnm- |
ber of warrants issued forepersons who
have refused to woik the roads upon
call of -the respective overseers' on
different roads, and in . almost every
instance convictions have been secured \
where the cases were tried before the
jnstioes of the peace. Several cases \
are now pending, besides those that
have already been disposed of. The
supervisor is receiving complaints
from the overseers in most every u
QQ/.f?An fn fV* o fViof novtatn
persons refuse to work after they have
been "warned1 y to do so by the over:
seers, and it is expected that manyj
persecutions will follow.
In the cases that hare been called
to the attention of Supervisor Corley
there art both whites and negroes,
but when it comes to enforcing the
law Supervisor Corley states that he
is no respecter of persons, and that
! every man who has not paid the pro:
visional road tax and who refuses ti
I comply with the request of the over* ,
| seers will be prosecuted. ?I do
} intend for any man to get out of work- |
! ing the roads who is physically ablj i j

working," said Mr. Oorley to-da\. ?
"and I hope that the people will rei^ j
ize this fact." I i
There is always kicks coming frab ^
different sections of the county aneat -i
bad roads and asking that the chajigang
be placed in this neighborhood '
or that neighborhood, when, in |?e,
opinion of the officers many of thjjBe I
same people positively refuse to
assistance in the way of working the C
roads. "Everybody wants goodltn
roads," said the supervisor, "but aeyj'in
expect them to be built by the co&ti ha]
chaingang. I expect to give |bh{'?nc
people good roads wherever possibly ^ ?
but, at the same time, I expect! fo; ^ i
those people who have not avfile bui
fhpmsfilvfls of the ODoortunitv of nai
ing the tax, belp to build them "f
The supervisor has been wjpm Bu
commended for his course in therms cai
ter of working the roads, and it if the
purpose to see that- every n&o I
every quarter, does his whol-3 dlty.|

popular and very efficient clerk of s
court, left on Friday in company with g
his friend , Capt. Chas. H. Kelso and j t
Mr. ai J Mrs. J. H. Morgan, for a few o
days stay in the "Land of Flowers." 1;
Mr. Shealy has been suffering from a h
recurrent attack of throat trouble ti
which caused hira no little uneasiness ti
a year ago when he wa9 forced to
change climate, and he goes to Florida r;
now for the purpose of getting relief a
if possible. U pon his return to Lex- ^

announce whether or rot he will be 111 ri

awaiting with much iuterest and enthusiasm.
It is hoped by everyone h
that- the clerk will have a pleasant h
